Chapter 132: A Bid Like Never Before.
Chapter 132: A Bid Like Never Before.
Sun Na waited patiently for the audience to absorb the news before she cleared her throat.
"The bidding starts now," she announced.
"11,000,000," the Governor announced.
Huh!
Everyone sucked in a cold breath. An increase of one million.
That was crazy! They thought inwardly.
But this was just the beginning.
"12,000,000," the Wind Spirit Sect Master said, his voice low and casual.
"13,000,000."
Before the Wind Spirit Sect Master could disappear, the Nine Mountain Sect Master placed his bid.
"14,000,000," said the Frost Moon Sect Master.
All the hall masters, clan masters, chamber leaders, and elders were stunned. Who would have expected these Golden Core Experts to be this crazy!
One million middle grade spirit stones for every increase.
Fucking one million!
"I would have to sell all my clan’s properties for such an amount... I don’t think it would amount to that," an old man shook his head in dejection.
"For me, I don’t even think about my clan’s properties to that," another clan master added.
Today, their horizon was broadened. The Golden Core Experts were not superior to them in strength alone but also in wealth.
Wealth that would have taken middle-sized, even bigger clans decades to accumulate was being spent like water.
But the auction was far from over.
"15,000,000," the Governor did not back down.
"From here onward, you can use your asset as part of your bid," Sun Na added quickly.
"14,000,000 with the location of the stone and its ownership."
Without hesitation, the Frost Moon Sect added, increasing the stake.
Sun Na smiled brightly. "Look at that, the Frost Moon Sect is getting serious."
"Humph!" snorted the Nine Mountain Sect Master. "15,000,000 and 1,000-hectare fertile land outside the city."
"This is insane," a voice muttered in disbelief.
"Indeed, this is madness!"
The Frost Moon Sect Master glanced at the Nine Mountain Sect Master, not expecting him to place such a massive bid.
Sensing her gaze, he turned and sneered. "You can forget about having that carriage." His voice was oozing with confidence.
"We’ll see about that..." Her expression was as cold as ever.
The Governor shook his head at such an insane amount. He might be the Governor, but his assets were not as many as these sects’.
Besides, he needed to think about the welfare of his clan and the development of the capital.
However, the sects did not need to think about all this. Besides, if they needed anything, they could easily take it.
In this world, strength reigns supreme.
But what happened next blew everyone’s mind. The calm and approachable Wind Spirit Sect Master announced,
"15,000,000, 20 ordinary mines, 5 Blackiron Ore mines, 5 Redsteel Ore mines, and 1 Brightcopper mine."
Huh!
Everyone sucked in a cold breath, widened their eyes, staring at the calm and composed Wind Spirit Sect Master in shock.
Heavens! What the fuck is really going on?
Brightcopper mine!
This is the only Brightcopper mine in the region.
How could they give it up?!
"Do you know what you’re doing? Are you really going to let go of such a precious mine?" Nine Mountain Sect Master asked in shock.
Even the cold Frost Moon Sect Master stared at him.
"What is a Brightcopper mine compared to that? You should all know why this is very important, don’t you?" He glanced at them with a mysterious smile.
The Golden Core Experts nodded and averted their gaze. Things might look calm on the surface, but they knew better.
Why were they going all out if not that they were scared of losing their life from what’s to come?
The various leaders and clan masters were confused, but no one dared to ask. They focused their minds on the bid and wondered who would surpass it.
For a moment, the auction was quiet, eyes on the Golden Core Experts. Is there anyone crazy enough to surpass this?
Sun Na’s sharp eagle eyes locked on the Golden Core Experts, her heart pounded with excitement.
This had gone beyond her imagination.
"Going once!" she announced. "This is your last chance. Going twice!"
The auction room was deafeningly quiet. No one dared make a sound. Time seemed to stretch longer than normal.
"Sold!"
Sun Na broke the tense atmosphere, and those that were holding their breath could finally let it out.
"Congratulations to the Wind Spirit Sect Master. Please go to the small room to complete the procedure."
She raised her head and turned to the audience. "Thank you, everyone, for coming to the first Thousand Wealth Chamber auction. We hope to see you at our next auction."
"Before you leave, please take this token of gratitude from us."
Hmm?!
The audience was confused. This was the first time they would be given a token of gratitude for coming to an auction.
"Why is everything about the Thousand Wealth Chamber different?"
"Agreed. First, they only sold a single item, which was unheard of before. Let’s not even talk about the price. Now, we’re being given a token of gratitude. Who does that?"
While the people were chatting among themselves, a row of beautiful servants entered the auction room carrying large trays.
On each tray were expensive jade boxes, beneath were small pamphlets. The servants gave each person a jade box with a pamphlet.
Curiously, those that had received theirs read the pamphlet, only to discover it was a process to make a spirit tea.
For the Golden Core Experts, their boxes were bigger, and each received three placed in an expensive pouch.
Quickly, everyone discovered the jade box contained spirit tea leaves, but spirit tea leaves were very common in the capital.
"Miss Sun, what is the effect of the spirit tea?" a middle-aged man asked.
"When you drink it, you will know. But I’ll advise you to treasure it with your life," she said mysteriously.
Huh!
This shocked everyone. They should treasure tea leaves with their lives. Why would they do that? However, no spoke.
With that, the people departed, but the shock in their minds never diminished. Today was an eye-opener.
"Sect Master, please wait. Our Young Master would like to have a word with you," Sun Na said to the Frost Moon Sect Master.
