Emperor Qiankun

Chapter 430 Mysterious VIP's Exorbitant Price!

On the second floor, in a quiet private room.

Li Qingyuan, Su Yaoyue, and the others were all completely focused, their eyes burning as they carefully examined the items up for auction below.

His eyes were filled with an unwavering determination to win.

At the same time, they quietly reached into their spatial rings, caressing the precious crystals inside, preparing to strike.

Just wait for the right moment to make a decisive bid and snatch the item!

That's right, Li Qingyuan is preparing to change her previous style this time.

I no longer intend to stall or waste time.

He plans to drastically raise prices directly, quickly entering the final, fiercely competitive high-end phase.

Ao Nishang saw that the intense atmosphere around her had not diminished at all, but instead had become even more intense, like a raging fire.

She couldn't help but smile.

Then, she slightly parted her lips, her voice soft and melodious, like a babbling brook:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the amount of Spirit Rhinoceros Blood contained in this jade bottle is quite considerable, totaling thirty drops."

"That is why the starting price for this treasure is set at... three million high-grade Xuan Crystals!"

"Here's a friendly reminder for everyone."

"If you don't have enough high-grade Xuan Crystals on hand, you can use top-grade Xuan Crystals to offset the bid, or participate in this auction by bartering..."

------

As Ao Ni Chang's clear voice fell silent, the auction hall fell into a brief silence.

And immediately after.

Li Qingyuan's gentle yet decisive voice transmitted via conch shell, stating the price:

"Ten million high-grade Xuan Crystals".

This sudden high price was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples.

Ao Ni Chang's face instantly lit up with a bright smile.

Her smile held a hint of excitement and joy as she quickly announced the offer.

The expressions of the many cultivators present changed drastically upon hearing this.

Then a burst of angry curses erupted:

"Who's this lunatic? Don't they know the rules of an auction? How can they just drive the price up like that!"

"Exactly! This is a complete disaster! We were hoping to snag a bargain, and now it's all ruined!"

"..."

In the arena, some cultivators who had originally hoped to win the treasure at a low price were still there.

At this moment, they were all red-faced and furious, their beards bristling and eyes bulging with anger.

Their illusions were ruthlessly shattered at that moment!

......

------

But the next moment, someone in the crowd, not to be outdone, made another bid:

"Eleven million high-grade mysterious crystals."

The voice carried a hint of provocation and resentment.

However, just when everyone thought the price war would gradually subside.

Li Qingyuan, without hesitation, made another offer:

"Fifteen million high-grade Xuanjing!"

The moment the price was announced, the entire auction hall fell into a deathly silence.

Immediately following was a stunned uproar.

It's not because the amount of 15 million high-grade Xuan Crystals is particularly astonishing.

After all, in previous auctions, some items had fetched prices exceeding 20 million high-grade Xuanjing.

What truly shocked the monks present was...

The person making this bid is so unpredictable and is raising the price so wildly; they seem like a complete madman!

"Is this person crazy? Who bids like that?!"

"If he's not crazy, then he must be a shill for the auction house! He's deliberately driving up prices so that normal people like us can't participate!"

"..."

Various thoughts filled the minds of the cultivators.

They whispered amongst themselves, creating a noisy and chaotic atmosphere throughout the auction hall.

......

------

At this moment, the atmosphere inside the auction hall was as tense as a taut string, ready to explode at any moment.

Suddenly, a calm and resolute voice pierced through the noise:

"Eighteen million high-grade mysterious crystals."

Clearly, this bidder was also influenced by Li Qingyuan's decisive bidding style.

Unwilling to waste any more time here, they decided to "quickly resolve the matter" and settle the score with "strength".

Upon hearing this, Li Qingyuan smiled faintly, not one to indulge the other party.

His gaze was firm as he continued transmitting the message:

"Twenty-five million high-grade mysterious crystals."

The sound exploded like a thunderclap in the auction hall.

This instantly broke the highest transaction record to date for this Wanbao Grand Auction.

The direct price increase of seven million was so extravagant that it left the cultivators in the room stunned at first, and then numb.

They looked at each other, and began to discuss among themselves, some speaking frankly:

"This is definitely a shill; there's no way they're bidding like this!"

Even more extreme, some directly pointed the finger at Ao Ni Chang:

"Is it Ao Ni Chang herself who's making wild noises and driving up the price?"

Rumors and gossip spread like wildfire.

Someone suggested:

"Ao Nishang, you need to send someone to verify the credentials and see if the person making the bid actually has the financial strength!"

Various opinions surged forth, causing an uproar in the auction hall.

......

------

Ao Ni Chang stood on the high platform, her heart also filled with turmoil.

The speed and efficiency of the mysterious VIP's bidding left her both surprised and apprehensive.

Is this a hidden big client, or someone with ulterior motives?

Out of caution, she decided to send someone to verify the funds to set the record straight.

The capital verification process was quick and efficient.

A middle-aged dragon demon appeared outside Li Qingyuan's private room in a flash.

Li Qingyuan remained calm and casually displayed more than a dozen spatial rings.

Inside, there were dazzling, mysterious crystals, their light so bright it was astonishing.

The middle-aged dragon demon nodded slightly, indicating that it was indeed correct.

Then his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

Ao Nishang quickly learned the results of the verification, and she felt relieved.

The news was then made public through a special communication method.

"Wow—"

The news caused an uproar in the auction hall once again, like a drop of water falling into hot oil, instantly causing an explosion.

The cultivators present were discussing the matter animatedly, with various opinions circulating.

Some marveled at the wealth of the mysterious VIP, while others felt envious and jealous.

"Just who is this mysterious person? How could he have such a wealth of resources!"

"It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy!"

"..."

A mix of emotions made the atmosphere in the auction room even more intense and complex.

......

------

It was precisely at this critical juncture, when the bidding was fierce and the atmosphere was electric, that the competition intensified.

Lu Ningwei's clear and firm voice suddenly rang out, like a heavy hammer striking the heartstrings of everyone present:

"Thirty million high-grade Xuan Crystals".

Clearly, she was determined to obtain the Blood of the Spirit Rhinoceros and was unwilling to give it up easily.

However, Li Qingyuan was like an enraged lion at this moment, his eyes flashing with a resolute light.

Why would he easily give up the Spirit Blood he had already obtained?

Almost the instant Lu Ningwei finished speaking, he raised the price without hesitation:

"Thirty-five million high-grade Xuanjing!"

This sound, like the beating of a war drum, demonstrated his determination to win.

At this moment, he was truly "blinded by rage"!

Only one thought remained in my mind:

No one can stop him from obtaining the blood of the Spirit Rhinoceros!

Lu Ningwei frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and finally chose to give up.

She knew perfectly well that the other party was so determined to succeed.

If she continues bidding, she will likely find it difficult to obtain the Blood of the Spirit from this determined opponent.

Therefore, I didn't want to waste any more time.

......

------

Meanwhile, the other cultivators in the private rooms on the third floor did not cease their efforts despite Lu Ningwei's departure.

Like sharks that have smelled blood, they eagerly tried to compete and continued to bid.

In an instant, another bidding frenzy swept through the auction hall, with prices soaring like a rocket.

But Li Qingyuan stood firm like a rock.

No matter how much his competitors raised their prices, he always followed suit without hesitation.

Sometimes they even take the initiative to push prices to new heights.

Finally, after a fierce competition...

Li Qingyuan successfully acquired the precious Spirit Rhinoceros Blood for a staggering 50 million high-grade Xuan Crystals!

Thus, Li Qingyuan's purpose for this trip has been successfully achieved.

However, he was not in a hurry to leave the noisy auction house.

Because he knew all too well that the real highlight was yet to come—

Those three treasures, which served as the grand finale, were his new targets for this Wanbao Grand Ceremony.

He sat quietly in the private room, gazing intently at the bustling auction hall below, secretly anticipating the appearance of the three treasures.
