The Founder of Qi Cultivation, Reincarnates?

"Ten million mid-grade spirit stones!"

"Twenty million mid-grade spirit stones!"

Some people who were still interested in the cape went to yell their bidding price, but every time Gu Jin would once again yell over them.

"Thirty million mid-grade spirit stones!"

This scenario happened a few times until some people who were once interested in the cape completely lose all interest.

It wasn't that they lack the spirit stones to bid, it was just that neither Mai Rong nor Gu Jin was giving anyone else an opportunity to bid.

"Forty million mid-grade spirit stones!"

Mai Rong yelled, and someone on the second floor quickly went to yell his bidding price, but the words hadn't left his mouth fully before Gu Jin suddenly shouted over him that he was bidding fifty million mid-grade spirit stones.

That disciple who was interrupted frowned and glanced at Gu Jin a bit annoyed. But the bidding had reached a point where the price was too high for this cape.

Everyone here was considerably wealthy by certain standards, but fifty million mid-grade spirit stones were a lot, plus this was just the first item, they didn't want to spend so much money from the get-go.

As this situation continued, more and more people lost interest in the cape.

"What is this, do they think they're the only ones bidding?"

Mu Fan couldn't help but comment and the others agreed.

It looked like Gu Jin was the one doing the interrupting but Mai Rong seemed in on it too.

This went on for several more bids until the price for the cape reached eighty million mid-grade spirit stones.

The situation happened once again when Mai Rong raised the bid by ten million, and a few people were about to bid but Gu Jin yelled his bid over them.Read lat𝙚st chapters at nov(𝒆)lbin.com Only

However, Lu Shin couldn't take this anymore. As someone hailed as the number one genius from both the Maple Continent and Star Bound Continent, shouldn't he do something?

Before Gu Jin could call out his bid of one hundred million mid-grade spirit stones, which was a rather astronomical price, Lu Shin suddenly snapped and spat out.

"Two hundred million mid-grade spirit stones!!"

His voice echoed in the pavilion as he raised the price by one hundred million mid-grade spirit stones, stunning everyone.

Lu Shin was fuming at this point and was about to yell a bidding price as soon as either Mai Rong or Gu Jin opened their mouths to bid, however, even after a few breaths of time neither of the two called out a bid.

Realizing this, Lu Shin blinked. The excited old man below realizing no other bid was coming, went through the routine of asking for another bidder three times. By the third call, no one spoke up, the cape was valuable but with so many spirit stones wouldn't it have been better to just use them to cultivate instead of relying on the cape?

When everyone thought about it, two hundred million mid-grade spirit stones for that cape just wasn't worth it. Maybe if it was years they were staying on the Star Bound Continent; those from the other continents would have bid for it but it was only until the Chosen Tournament ended.

As for those from the Star Bound Continent, at a certain point, there was a limit to how many spirit stones they would spend on an item like that cape, and two hundred million was far above that limit.

So, with a wide smile, the old man yelled the winner of the first bid, which was Lu Shin.

Meanwhile, as Lu Shin heard the old man calling out the amount he bid for this item, it felt as if a cold bucket of water had been doused on him.

"Fuck, what is this shit?"

Lu Shin couldn't help but curse. He then glance at Mai Rong and then at Gu Jin, who both gave him cursory glances before looking away.

Lu Shin seeing this gritted his teeth and said.

"These fuckers, did they do this on purpose? Did I just get baited?"

"I thought you said they were always at odds, but they actually teamed up to scam you."

Dai Hee was heard saying, but Lu Shin didn't respond and simply clenched his fists in anger.

Meanwhile, Jun was wearing a thoughtful expression as he glance at both Mai Rong and Gu Jin.

After a while, the next item was carried out, and it was actually a Top Grade weapon. Even for Nascent Realm cultivators, this was a precious item that could greatly boost their strength in combat.

Despite no one here being in the Nascent Soul Realm, they would all eventually reach that realm, and even their own clans and sects didn't have an unlimited amount of Top Grade Spirit Artifacts to choose from so more than a few people took interest in it.

However…

"Eighty million mid-grade spirit stones!"

"Ninety million mid-grade spirit stones!"

Once again, both Mai Rong and Gu Jin were doing the same thing as the previous bid.

"What are they doing?"

Yuwei was heard asking.

"They're…"

Jun went to respond, but pause for a moment.

Suddenly someone from down below called out a bid of four hundred million mid-grade spirit stones. The normal price for a Top Grade Spirit Artifact would be around that price, but even Top Grade Spirit Artifacts had varying levels depending on the material used to craft it and the runes inscribe on it.

Judging from the Top Grade Spirit Artifact up for bid, it was of the lowest tier among Top Grade Spirit Artifacts. It was still valuable, but even Early Nascent Soul Realm cultivators might not glance at it, much less spend four hundred million mid-grade spirit stones on it.

Just like what happened to Lu Shin previously, after that bid was announced, Mai Rong and Gu Jin abruptly stopped bidding for the item.

Seeing this Jun finished his words.

"They're dictating the pace of the Auction."

"And they're trying to create an atmosphere where people need to spend an astronomical price for the item they want."

Lihua added.

Suddenly the third item came out and the starting bid the old man announce was fifteen million mid-grade spirit stones.

However, before even Mai Rong or Gu Jin could say anything someone from the ground floor called out a bid of thirty million mid-grade spirit stones, raising it by fifteen million.

It was as if he was afraid Mai Rong or Gu Jin wouldn't give him a chance to bid.

Like this, a few more people called out bids all increasing the price by ten or fifteen million. All of them were observing Mai Rong and Gu Jin as they made their bids.

Everyone in the booth seeing this understood Jun and Lihua's words.

"So they're trying to get us to waste our spirit stones before the pill comes out? So we just don't bid!"
