Five million prime spirit stones...
Everyone was stunned. They thought it was unprecedented for someone to bid on this item.
Unexpectedly, someone else was raising the price.
"Box 960 offers five million prime spirit stones. Are there any higher bids?" the host's eyes also showed a hint of surprise, but he still asked.
Jiang Li's eyes narrowed slightly. This voice sounded so familiar.
Right, it was that saintly Chen Lingyue...
Jiang Li remembered that the girl he encountered outside just now was her.
"Six million prime spirit stones..." Jiang Li's eyes flashed with a cold glint as he continued to bid.
"Six point zero one million prime spirit stones..." After Jiang Li made his bid, the other side continued to follow.
...
"Box 960 offers ten point zero one million prime spirit stones. Are there any higher bids?" the host's voice resounded in the auction hall.
Everyone in the auction hall was dumbfounded.
This kind of trash had actually reached ten million prime spirit stones, equivalent to ten thousand first-grade holy crystals. It was simply outrageous.
Was this guy messing with his head?
Jiang Li narrowed his eyes and thought to himself.
"Fifteen million prime spirit stones!" Jiang Li said in a deep voice.
Fifteen million was Jiang Li's final bottom line. If she continued to raise the price,
Jiang Li wouldn't mind using some extreme measures to obtain it.
In another private room.
Shui'er was already a little scared. She then said slowly, "Miss, if we annoy him like this, won't it be a bit..."
Chen Lingyue snorted and then said with a smile, "How am I annoying him? I also took a liking to this item. I'm just participating in a normal auction, what's the problem?"
Just then, they also heard Jiang Li's voice.
He had directly raised it to fifteen million.
"Hmph, this guy actually has quite a bit of money. Fifteen million, then let's continue to play with him!" Chen Lingyue said.
"Fifteen point zero one million!" Chen Lingyue's voice rang out again.
As soon as Chen Lingyue finished speaking, Jiang Li slowly closed his eyes and gave up on continuing to bid.
It was unrealistic to compete with the City Lord's Mansion's eldest daughter in terms of wealth.
He began to ponder in his mind how to make this young lady pay the price she deserved.
After Jiang Li gave up, the host began to count down.
"Twenty million prime spirit stones!" Just as the host was counting down, another resounding voice rang out.
Jiang Li slowly opened his eyes. Someone else had bid.
"Box 996 offers twenty million prime spirit stones. Are there any higher bids?" the host's voice echoed in the auction hall.
The host was a little excited now. He didn't expect this trash to reach the sky-high price of twenty million prime spirit stones. It was like a pie falling from the sky.
The crowd in the auction hall was in disarray.
They began to wonder if this was really some kind of treasure.
However, the current price was no longer something they could participate in.
Chen Lingyue frowned. Box 996, wasn't that the Eighth Prince's box?
Why did he also enter the competition?
Chen Lingyue then stopped bidding.
Twenty million prime spirit stones, even with her status, it would require a significant expenditure.
Moreover, as long as the item was not acquired by Jiang Li, it didn't matter.
"Twenty million prime spirit stones, first call!"
"Twenty million prime spirit stones, second call!"
"Twenty million prime spirit stones, third call!"
'Sold...'
With the host's words, the auction of this nameless ancient book finally came to an end.
Next were other heavenly materials and earthly treasures. The auction continued with great fervor.
"Young Master, there is a distinguished guest requesting an audience!" Just as the auction was ongoing, a crisp and pleasant female voice sounded outside Jiang Li's private room.
"Come in!" Jiang Li said.
Immediately, a young man wearing a green python robe walked in with a smile.
It was the Eighth Prince of the Heavenly Origin Divine Dynasty. Jiang Li's heart stirred.
[Name]: Lin Jingyang
[Realm]: Saint Realm Ninth Heaven.
[Constitution]: Spirit Origin Body.
[Destiny]: Supreme Aspect (Purple), Astonishing Family Background (Blue), Regional Hegemon (Blue).
[Life Script]: Supporting character in "Empress of Ice and Snow," Eighth Prince of the Heavenly Origin Divine Dynasty.
[Favorability]: 20
[Recent Turning Point]: Five days later, his mother concubine was ambushed and assassinated, losing his mother concubine's protection, he was framed and his right hand was severed.
Jiang Li instinctively activated his Life Script system.
Lin Jingyang's life script appeared before Jiang Li's eyes.
This recent turning point indicated that the struggles within their imperial dynasty were quite perilous.
"Eighth Prince!" Jiang Li greeted the young man.
"Saint Son Jiang, long time no see. Saint Son Jiang's elegance remains as before!" Lin Jingyang said to Jiang Li with a smile.
Behind Lin Jingyang were several guards, tightly protecting him.
These guards were all top-tier powerhouses in the Saint King realm, with extraordinary strength and a faint aura of terror emanating from them.
"May I ask why the Eighth Prince has come!" Jiang Li asked directly.
He still needed to investigate who the person in box 996 was.
After all, the divine-tier mental power divine ability was still in that person's hands.
Jiang Li did not want that item to be taken away by someone else.
"Saint Son Jiang, this is for you!" Lin Jingyang took out a nameless ancient book from his spatial ring and handed it to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li's eyes narrowed. It was this.
What Lin Jingyang took out was the nameless ancient book that was just auctioned and taken by box 996.
He never expected that box 996 belonged to this Eighth Prince.
"May I ask what the Eighth Prince means!" Jiang Li said slowly.
What did this Eighth Prince want by giving him this item?
"Miss Chen was a bit too willful. I am here to apologize to you on her behalf!" Lin Jingyang said with a smile.
'This matter is also my fault. Knowing that girl is extremely willful, I should have made preparations earlier. I can only bid for this item to make amends to Saint Son Jiang!' Lin Jingyang's voice was as pleasant as a spring breeze.
Apologize, this Eighth Prince handled things flawlessly.
Blaming himself...
It was clearly Chen Lingyue's fault, yet he took the blame upon himself.
Furthermore, he had spent twenty million prime spirit stones to bid for the ancient book and give it to him.
Jiang Li took the nameless ancient book from Lin Jingyang's hand.
"The Eighth Prince speaks too highly!" Jiang Li said.
Since Lin Jingyang had spoken to this extent,
Jiang Li didn't need to be overly critical.
No matter what, this divine-tier divine ability had reached his hands.
Although the process was a bit convoluted, it was fine as long as it was obtained.
As for that Chen Lingyue, if she was sensible, Jiang Li would be too lazy to bother with her.
However, if she continued to pester and annoy him...
Jiang Li would not indulge her.
