After Master Chou-Bing offered an additional bid, a few bidders continued competing. This caused the price of the divine pill to skyrocket to 50,000,000 low-level Purple Heaven Crystals. Of course, when it reached this price, the bidding noise softened, and the winner of this auction was Zheng-Fu.
"50,000,000 low-level Purple Heaven Crystals by that Young Master. Will anyone offer a higher price than this? If no one offers…"
"51,000,000 low-level Purple Heaven Crystals! This is the highest price I can offer. If Little Comrade still bids higher, I, Chou-Bing of the Heavenly Forest Force, will have to give up!" But before the middle-aged man in the arena could finish speaking, Chou-Bing gritted his teeth and offered one last price while implying a meaning that, if misunderstood, could change everything.
"I think this 'Sacred World Divine Pill' is very necessary for me. But it would also be necessary for you. Then let's just say I'll withdraw so Master Elder can get it to study and concoct it once again. And at that time, I hope you can sell me the Sacred World Divine Pill that you concocted for a reasonable price!" After Chou-Bing finished speaking, Zheng-Fu stood up and spoke with an implied meaning as well. Had one not been an idiot or a retarded child, one would have understood what Zheng-Fu meant.
Zheng-Fu's reply greatly surprised everyone on the sixth floor of the maneuver arena. No one expected Zheng-Fu to retreat so easily. But when everyone thought back on his words, they understood why he did so.
"Thank you very much, Little Comrade! I, Chou-Bing, promise you that when I can concoct the Sacred World Divine Pill, I'll immediately give it as a special gift to my little comrade!" Chou-Bing was overjoyed that Zheng-Fu withdrew. Although he understood Zheng-Fu's reasoning, it would not hurt him to recreate the Sacred World Divine Pill while securing Zheng-Fu's favor.
Gnash!!!
However, Lei-Shu's expression and mood were completely opposite to Chou-Bing's. His anger, hatred, and desire to kill suddenly soared. Since he could only offer a maximum of fifty-one million crystals, he could no longer compete with Chou-Bing unless he broke the clan's rules by bidding fifty-two million crystals.
"Second Uncle! I can lend you my personal crystals. Do you want them? But I only have two million crystals with me!" Bei-Dong-Hong spoke after seeing that the Second Elder was at a loss.
"Really? Then let me borrow it now. When I return to the clan, I'll immediately pay you back, Dong-Hong!" As soon as the young man's words ended, Lei-Shu's distorted face suddenly changed into a smile. With an additional two million crystals, he could win this auction.
"Yes, Second Uncle! But let me charge you some interest. For the two million that I lend you, you must return two million and five hundred thousand crystals. If you agree, then you can borrow it!" The young man, who seemed kind at first, revealed his terms, charging a high-interest rate.
"Hah! Wouldn't that be too much, Dong-Hong? That interest rate is too high. I'm your uncle, you probably…"
"If you don't agree, it's okay. But the Sacred World Divine Pill is about to be auctioned off. If you don't decide quickly, Master Chou-Bing will get it…"
"All right! All right! I accept your offer! Hurry and give me another two million crystals!" Although reluctant, Lei-Shu had no choice but to agree to the young man's terms. Of course, Lei-Shu was already planning how to get revenge on his nephew if he won the auction.
"Here, Second Uncle!" The young man smirked before passing two million lumps of crystals from his dimensional ring to Lei-Shu's.
"Thank you very much, Dong-Hong! That's all I needed to defeat Chou-Bing!"
"Auction Moderator, let me raise the bid to 53,000,000 Purple Heaven Crystals!" Once Lei-Shu received the crystals, he immediately raised his bid and put everything on the line.
"53,000,000 Purple Heaven Crystals by Master Bei-Lei-Shu from the Heavenly Floating Cloud Tiger Clan. Will anyone bid more, sir!?" When Lei-Shu placed his bid, the middle-aged man immediately announced the new price.
"Damn Lei-Shu! How could he dare to increase the price like this?" Chou-Bing, who had been smiling moments earlier, suddenly stopped smiling. Fifty-one million crystals was the highest amount he could bid. He knew Lei-Shu had similar limitations. "Or are you planning to break the rules of the clan? Probably not! Maybe he borrowed crystals from someone. No! I can't lose it. But where do I get more crystals? Or I'll…"
'Master Elder Chou-Bing, if you don't mind, you can borrow some crystals from me!' Zheng-Fu's voice suddenly sounded in Chou-Bing's mind. Zheng-Fu, noticing Chou-Bing's distress at not having enough crystals, decided to offer help.
Huh!?
"That kid?" Chou-Bing was stunned and shocked when he heard Zheng-Fu's sound waves. Normally, someone who could communicate through sound waves had to understand how to compress their energy waves to transmit them to others who could do the same, which Master Chou-Bing could also do.
'Thank you very much, Little Comrade! Then I'll get it back to you as soon as possible!' Chou-Bing was overjoyed. He did not know what purpose Zheng-Fu had for doing this. Nonetheless, he still chose to try it to find out. And first, he had to win this auction.
"I'm offering 54,000,000 Purple Heaven Crystals!" Chou-Bing immediately raised his bid.
"54,000,000 Purple Heaven Crystals by Master Chou-Bing. Is there anyone else who can give me more?"
Damn it!
"What the hell is this, Old Man Chou-Bing!? Do you still have some crystals left!? No! How could it be like that? I can't believe you have that many crystals. What kind of joke are you making, Chou-Bing!!?" Lei-Shu was furious. From the beginning, he had been in a good mood, thinking he was about to win the auction, but then Chou-Bing cut him off.
"It's too early for you to be happy!" Chou-Bing did not want to talk too much, as it was a waste of breath. What he needed right now was this Sacred World Divine Pill.
"This is stupid!"
Lei-Shu was almost unable to control himself. If not for the rules of the auctioneer, he would have jumped out to deal with Chou-Bing by now, including Zheng-Fu. But all he could do was look for sources to borrow more crystals. However, no matter where he turned, no one would meet his eyes because they did not want to waste their money in vain. This auction still had many other items, so if it came time for the items they wanted and they had no money left, it would be disastrous for them.
"54,000,000 Purple Heaven Crystals! Will anyone offer more? If not, then I ask to close this round of the Sacred World Divine Pill auction. The winner is Master Chou-Bing of Heavenly Forest Force," announced the middle-aged man, seeing no one else bidding higher. He then closed the auction for this round.
Bang!!!
"And we'll start the next round right away!"
Chou-Bing paid what he had to and instructed the collector to get the remaining amount from Zheng-Fu. Zheng-Fu paid the extra three million crystals before nodding lightly at Master Chou-Bing.
Thud!
"Brother Zheng-Fu, who exactly are you? Why are you so rich? If that's the case, I would like to borrow some of your crystals…"
Thud!
"Stop right now, Ye-Liu! What are you going to do? Do you want to humiliate our clan? If you borrow his crystals, it's equivalent to letting others know that our clan is poor!" At that moment, Ye-Liu suddenly sat down beside Zheng-Fu and asked to borrow some crystals. But before he could finish his words, the young woman immediately sat beside him and admonished him indignantly.
"How could it be like that, Elder Sister! I just want to borrow some crystals from my comrade, not from strangers I don't know. Besides, you won't buy the Heavenly Weapon for me, so I must find my way!" The young man immediately defended himself. He did not truly want to borrow Zheng-Fu's crystals; he only wanted to sit with Zheng-Fu because sitting with his elder sister was very boring.
"If you want, I can lend it to you because we are comrades. As for me, whoever does good to me, I'll do good to them in return. And you're one of those who have acted kindly toward me!" Zheng-Fu replied immediately, showing his willingness to lend the young man some crystals. After all, he had thousands of high-level Purple Heaven Crystals left, and his mine could produce thousands more per month. Therefore, he was not worried about lacking crystals to spend.
"Brother Zheng-Fu, you're so nice! I'm really fortunate to have met you. By the time this auction is over, I'll treat you to a meal!" The young man was surprised Zheng-Fu would lend him so many crystals. Initially, he had only intended to talk casually, but when Zheng-Fu wholeheartedly offered to lend him crystals, he did not hesitate to accept.
"Ye-Liu!!!"
Qing-Qi was speechless, seeing that her younger brother had ignored her warning. It made her feel very embarrassed. She turned her gaze to glare at Zheng-Fu, letting him know she was dissatisfied with him.
'What is this all about? I just intended... oops, accidentally touching her breasts. Why is she so vengeful?' Zheng-Fu was sweating when he saw Qing-Qi's intense glare. He had not expected the matter to escalate like this. But while Zheng-Fu was pondering, the image of him touching the young woman's breasts suddenly surfaced.
Aaaaaah!!!
"What a great feeling!"
Huh!?
"What did you say just now?"
