During this time, Qin Yang didn't make any bids. Although the auction items were good, he wasn't particularly eager for them. He was continuously waiting for the appearance of the Ice Spirit Flower.
Finally, amidst Qin Yang's anticipation, a beautiful woman in white, holding a jade disc, walked onto the auction platform. On the jade disc was a flower resembling a crystal carved from ice, flawless and exuding a chilly aura.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the next item you've all seen. The Ice Spirit Flower grows in extremely cold regions and is rare and precious. It is an excellent material for refining Ice Attribute Elixirs. The starting price is 120 Violent Dragon Pills, and each raise must not be less than five. The auction starts now!"
Nangong Hong announced with a smile.
"I bid 130 Violent Dragon Pills."
"135..."
"..."
"Ice Spirit Flower, finally, I've been waiting for you."
A glimmer flashed in Qin Yang's eyes as he exhaled lightly.
The Ice Spirit Flower was a must for him. Once he got it and refined an Ice Spirit Pill, the black flames left by the Blade of Evil on his chest would be cured, allowing him to wholeheartedly look for an opportunity to break through to High Level Immortal Warrior.
Once he advanced to High Level Immortal Warrior, he could cast Level Four Magic. By then, even Earth Tier experts wouldn't be able to rival him.
Just as Qin Yang was about to make a bid, a light voice with an undeniably assertive tone rang out in the auction hall.
"Three hundred."
The crowd turned to look at the VIP suite upstairs and saw a serene and delicate face, causing the hall to fall silent for a moment.
"People from the Hundred Beasts Valley have made a move..."
"They just raised the price to 300 Violent Dragon Pills at once."
"..."
Low murmurs filled the hall. With the wealthy second-rate Ancient Martial power like the Hundred Beasts Valley bidding, no one below continued to bid. Three hundred Violent Dragon Pills was a high price, and it wasn't worth it for just one Ice Spirit Flower.
At this moment, Qin Yang's expression turned slightly grim. He glanced at Mu Shuiyuan, and then his gaze fell on the Celestial Pool Snow Leopard lying at her feet. He had a moment of realization; she was bidding on the Ice Spirit Flower, likely to feed it to the Celestial Pool Snow Leopard.
However, Qin Yang could not possibly give up on the Ice Spirit Flower!
"Three hundred Violent Dragon Pills. The young lady in VIP Suite No. 3 has bid three hundred Violent Dragon Pills. If no one else raises the bid, this Ice Spirit Flower will belong to..."
Nangong Hong said on the auction platform, but before he could finish, his words were interrupted by a voice.
"Five hundred."
Qin Yang raised his number plate and said in a deep voice.
"Five hundred?!"
The crowd turned to look back after hearing Qin Yang's bid, not expecting anyone below to challenge the Hundred Beasts Valley. After all, this was the first time the Hundred Beasts Valley spoke in the auction and wouldn't let go easily.
Mu Shuiyuan's beautiful eyes narrowed, scanning downwards, her gaze falling on Qin Yang. It was him again. Was he deliberately opposing her?
"Eight hundred."
Mu Shuiyuan lightly parted her lips and once again reported a number.
"One thousand."
Qin Yang tapped the chair lightly with his right hand, his expression unchanged. It seemed that what was originally a sure bet for the Ice Spirit Flower was going to require some effort now.
"They truly are two wealthy forces..."
"Every increase is by two or three hundred Violent Dragon Pills..."
"..."
The crowd watched the two stubborn opponents and immediately began to murmur.
"One thousand Violent Dragon Pills. Mr. 278 has bid one thousand Violent Dragon Pills. Is there a higher price?"
Nangong Hong's mouth had a hint of a smile as he glanced at Qin Yang and Mu Shuiyuan.
As the host of the auction, the most enjoyable thing is to see both parties raising prices against each other. This one thousand Violent Dragon Pills already far exceeds the value of the Ice Spirit Flower.
"Damn, this bastard."
Mu Shuiyuan bit her silver teeth lightly, her beautiful eyes glaring at Qin Yang. This guy was deliberately making things difficult for her. Otherwise, why did he keep raising the price from the moment she first spoke?
"Miss, let it go. No need to argue with him. With a thousand Violent Dragon Pills, you can buy other Spirit Medicines with better Ice Attributes for the Celestial Pool Snow Leopard."
An elderly woman beside her glanced at Qin Yang and slowly said.
"I know, grandma, but I can't let this guy have it easily."
Mu Shuiyuan nodded, then gave Qin Yang a vengeful look. Her eyes flashed with cunning. It was clear Qin Yang still cared about getting the Ice Spirit Flower.
"Fifteen hundred."
Mu Shuiyuan lightly opened her vermilion lips, and bid again.
A stir erupted in the venue. Fifteen hundred Violent Dragon Pills was certainly not a small sum for many Ancient Martial Artists, and for a single Ice Spirit Flower, it was somewhat unworthy.
"Two thousand."
Qin Yang's eyes darkened slightly as he looked at Mu Shuiyuan and continued.
"Twenty-five hundred."
Mu Shuiyuan said without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yang frowned. Although the Ice Spirit Flower had some effect on increasing the strength of the Celestial Pool Snow Leopard, it was definitely not worth her paying such a high price. It seemed she was deliberately inflating the price to make him buy it at a high price.
"I'll bid three thousand Violent Dragon Pills. If this lady can bid even one higher than three thousand, I won't fight anymore."
Qin Yang stared at Mu Shuiyuan and said in a deep voice.
He was determined to get the Ice Spirit Flower no matter what, but he wasn't willing to be played for a fool. If she won the bid, he would just have to take it by force.
"This gentleman is indeed bold, willing to spend three thousand Violent Dragon Pills for this Ice Spirit Flower. Then I won't compete anymore."
Mu Shuiyuan glanced at Qin Yang, a smile of cunning victory crossing her lips.
"Three thousand Violent Dragon Pills. If no one bids higher than three thousand Violent Dragon Pills, I'll announce that this Ice Spirit Flower belongs to Mr. 278."
Nangong Hong said with a smile, clearly very satisfied with this price.
"Three thousand Violent Dragon Pills, that's the highest price so far, right?"
"Heh, if I had that many Violent Dragon Pills, I would've bought something else already..."
"..."
The crowd turned their eyes to Qin Yang, many with mocking glances, as Qin Yang had nearly paid ten times the price.
Qin Yang's eyes darkened slightly. He exhaled lightly. No matter what, at least the Ice Spirit Flower was finally his.
"Brother Qin Yang, are you okay?"
Zilan asked.
"I'm fine."
Qin Yang shook his head lightly, glanced at Mu Shuiyuan, and thought to himself, three thousand Violent Dragon Pills; converted into Primordial Spirit Pills, that's a full hundred Primordial Spirit Pills. That woman is truly ruthless.
"Now, the auction continues. Let's welcome the next auction item."
Nangong Hong said with a smile.
The previous woman in white left the stage with the Ice Spirit Flower. Another woman in white ascended, holding a jade disc, on which lay an ancient tome.
