Chapter 1660 - Acquiring the Dragon Bone
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Yafei Chen finally agreed to her daughter and decided to continue the bidding for the white bone because she believed in her daughter's Heavenly Eye.
It was her daughter's Heavenly Eye that helped the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion become a major force on the Crimson Fire Continent.
She had once discovered a monarch-grade material with which they forged a monarch-grade spiritual treasure. After the spiritual treasure was bought by a Spirit Monarch realm master, the name of the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion was known all over the mainland.
Many self-cultivators went to them to purchase powerful spiritual treasures, bringing them business and helping them become extremely rich.
Yafei Chen stood up and raised the wooden paddle in her hand, saying loudly, "I offer 2.5 million emperor-grade vitality stones."
Qingfeng Li frowned and a flash of chilling light appeared in his eyes since he clearly remembered Yafei Chen had given it up.
But she increased her bidding price after the little girl sitting beside her said something to her. It seemed the little girl was quite extraordinary and had seen the unusual value in the white bone.
Qingfeng Li had borrowed 2.4 billion emperor-grade vitality stones but now Yafei Chen's bidding price was 100,000 vitality stones more than his offer.He looked around and saw Lu Gu from the Planetary Elixir Pharmacy.
Qingfeng Li was Lu Gu's friend and he knew Lu Gu was part of one of the three richest forces on the Crimson Fire Continent. He decided to ask Lu Gu to loan him some vitality stones.
He asked Lu Gu, "Lu Gu, can you loan me your vitality stones?"
Hearing Qingfeng Li's question, the nearby self-cultivators all looked at him as if he was a moron.
As the Elixir Emperor of the Planetary Elixir Pharmacy and a first level supreme realm master, Lu Gu held regard for very few people.
It was said that he even refused the Crown Prince when he had asked for an elixir. Obviously Qingfeng Li had overestimated himself when he asked Lu Gu to loan him vitality stones.
But in the next moment, the nearby self-cultivators were dumbfounded when Lu Gu stood up and removed his interspatial ring from his finger before giving it to Qingfeng Li.
"Lu Gu actually gave him his interspatial ring?! I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes.
"Yeah. In Lingyun, Lu Gu doesn't even show any regard for the Crown Prince, but now he is helping Qingfeng Li. I thought Qingfeng Li was arrogant, but he is actually indeed capable."
"Didn't you see that the Second Prince and the Third Princess have already given their interspatial rings to Qingfeng Li? The rings must contain millions of emperor-grade vitality stones."
The nearby self-cultivators were all stunned by Qingfeng Li.
Qingfeng Li thanked Lu Gu, quickly probing the interspatial ring and finding more than 3 million emperor-grade vitality stones.
It was a pleasant surprise. He had known that running the Planetary Elixir Pharmacy was lucrative, but he had not known that Lu Gu had earned as many as 3 million emperor-grade vitality stones, which was more than the combined fortunes of the Second Prince and the third princess.
Qingfeng Li found Lu Gu to be an interesting friend and decided to express his sincere gratitude to him after the bidding for the dragon bone.
As the repayment for the loan of 3 million emperor-grade vitality stones, Qingfeng Li would give him a book of supreme-grade alchemy arts which would elevate him to the spirit supreme realm.
Qingfeng Li didn't have to worry about money after Lu Gu loaned him the emperor-grade vitality stones. He decided to offer all he had and give his rival a blow.
He raised the wooden paddle in his hand and declared loudly, "I offer 5.4 million emperor-grade vitality stones."
Hearing Qingfeng Li's bidding price, the whole auction house was silent. All the people were stunned by the big number.
"5.4 billion emperor vitality stones! No one would offer this much even if I sold myself."
"No kidding. All your family including your ancestors would not be worth 5.4 million emperor-grade vitality stones."
"I thought the Crown Prince was a big-time spender, now I find that Qingfeng Li is even more lavish than him. Vitality stones are just nothing to him."
The nearby self-cultivators all looked at Qingfeng Li with admiration and some of the female self-cultivators even had affectionate sparkling stars in their eyes.
Not only the self-cultivators in the auction house, but the gray-clothed elders from the Array Pavilion, Yafei Chen from the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion, Leng Xie from the Scorpion Assassin Alliance, and even the Crown Prince were astonished at the big number.
Yafei Chen's mouth twitched, and the wooden paddle in her hand shook slightly. She put down her paddle immediately and dared not to bid again.
The Spiritual Treasure Pavilion was powerful, but it was only a branch of the Spiritual Treasure Alliance on the Crimson Fire Continent.
They had earned a lot of vitality stones in the capital of the Country of Lingyun, but 5 million was all they had.
She couldn't put all her fortune on one ordinary bone and 3 million was the most she could afford.
But Qingfeng Li had offered 5.4 million emperor-grade vitality stones. It was crazy.
Glancing at the white-dressed girl next to her, Yafei Chen asked, "Daughter, shall we continue?"
The mouth of the white-dressed girl twitched, too, and she said in a low voice, "Mother, let's give up."
"Is the young man unhinged or something? The fortune he spends on a bone can buy several fragments of the Spirit Monarch master map."
All the self-cultivators thought Qingfeng Li a moron and glanced at him with a weird look in their eyes.
But Qingfeng Li was excited and regarded everyone around him as morons.
He knew that the value of the dragon bone was far beyond 5.4 million emperor-grade vitality stones. It was priceless.
Standing on the auction platform, Ya Yun also gaped with astonishment. She stood there like a statue, forgetting what to say.
Qingfeng Li said to Ya Yun on the auction platform, "Hurry up and give me the white bone."
Hearing Qingfeng Li's demand, Ya Yun finally regained her composure with an embarrassed blush on her face.
She was ashamed that she had lost her composure as the auctioneer and the junior mistress of the Imperial Capital Auction House.
She smiled and said, "Qingfeng Li offered 5.4 million emperor-grade vitality stones. Is there anyone who has a higher price?"
"If no one increased the bidding price, the white bone will go to Qingfeng Li." Ya Yun asked three times and no one responded.
She knocked the table three times with the wooden mallet and announced, "The white bone goes to Qingfeng Li."
Then Ya Yun took the white bone and walked toward Qingfeng Li, intending to hand it over to him in person.
