Chapter 90: The Imperfect Mystical Soul Technique
Yi Chen was completely unprepared, and a hint of amusement appeared on the face of the Crown Prince.
He didn't respond and Yi Chen directly chose to ignore him, quietly waiting for the second item.
"There are a total of two hundred items in this auction, which can be considered the largest number of auctions since the establishment of the auction house." Jia Ding said with a smile.
"Two hundred pieces?" Yi Chen's face flashed with surprise. The first piece was auctioned off for 20,000 gold coins, and the prices of the ones after that would be even higher.
In the Jia family's auction house, a 10% handling fee is charged for each item sold. Calculated in this way, the Jia family earns at least two million gold coins from one auction.
"It's actually nothing, with such a large-scale auction, according to our Jia family's strength, we can hold it at most once a year." Jia Xin shook his head and explained.
Yi Chen nodded in agreement. After all, good things can't be available every minute. He didn't think much about it either, because the second item was already up.
"The second auction item is a rare treasure for cultivators still struggling in the Yin Soul Realm, and that is the special spirit stone - Nourishing Spirit Stone!"
"The energy contained in the Nurturing Spirit Stone can allow a Yin Soul Realm cultivator to directly break through their bottleneck and enter the Yang Soul Realm! The starting price is 20,000 gold coins, with each bid increasing by 2,000 gold coins!"
A slightly excited remark escaped from Jia Meng's mouth, and then the maid brought up another tray with a purple spirit stone on it.
"It's really a Nurturing Spirit Stone!" Many cultivators who were still in the Realm of Yin Souls couldn't help but have their eyes gleam with fervor.
"Twenty-one thousand gold coins." The eldest prince seemed to have some interest in the Nurturing Spirit Stone and was the first to shout out a price.
"Twenty-two thousand gold coins."
A clear and cold voice came from the private room on the right, and everyone turned their heads to look over. In an instant, they saw a face that was enough to make people infatuated, but it was accompanied by some chilliness.
"Gu Yun." Yi Chen turned his head to look, and found that the person who shouted the price was Gu Yun. This made him very puzzled. According to reason, Gu Yun and the Crown Prince should be on the same side.
"In those days, Gu Yun had always opposed the marriage alliance, but the eldest prince was infatuated with Gu Yun. In the end, it was a case of 'a gentleman's intention is not reciprocated, while a loose woman has no feelings.' " Jia Xin said with a smile.
"Don't let her hear you say that word 'bitch', or else I won't guarantee that you'll still have a layer of skin left."
I didn't expect the two of them to still have such emotional entanglements, but Yi Chen just smiled faintly and casually reminded him that Gu Yun was a rose with thorns.
Upon hearing this, Jia Xin's face showed a hint of fear and he quickly shut his mouth, for he deeply knew the terror of that woman.
"Twenty-five thousand gold coins." Although he didn't say anything bad about Gu Yun, Jia Xin's face revealed a sly smile as he shouted.
Jia Ding did not stop Jia Xin's actions, they were not interested in participating in the affairs of their juniors, and Yi Siqing left the window position together.
"Twenty-six thousand gold coins." Upon hearing Jia Xin's bid, the Crown Prince's face showed a hint of displeasure. He turned his head to glance at Gu Yun and said.
"Thirty thousand gold coins." Gu Yun's eyebrows furrowed, and she gave Jia Xin and the Crown Prince a cold, icy stare before making another offer.
"The Ling Stone can only upgrade a Yin Soul to a Yang Soul, and there's still a 70% chance of failure. The price of 30,000 gold coins is already close to the highest price." Yi Chen said with a smile.
"Let's add a bit more and see if they'll scramble for it, anyway, we won't lose out." Jia Xin smiled slyly and shouted: "Thirty-three thousand gold coins!"
"Thirty-five thousand gold coins." This price was already close to the limit, Gu Yun thought for a moment and continued to add another bid.
At this price, it's already close to the limit. If they continue to bid, they will only suffer a loss. Jia Xin didn't continue to raise the price, let alone that big prince.
"The disciples of a wealthy family are indeed rich and arrogant, we can't compare to them." Many cultivators discussed this among themselves, and none of them continued to raise the price.
"The rare Ling Stone was won by Miss Gu Yun for 35,000 gold coins." Jia Meng didn't waste any time and directly shouted the price three times. With no one responding, he hammered it down with a single strike.
The auction continued, and the next items up for bidding were all good, but they were all too expensive for Yi Chen, who didn't make a bid.
He occasionally joined in the excitement and shouted, but ultimately didn't take any photos.
Jia Xin and the other three individuals also rarely made a move, after all, they didn't have unlimited money on them, it was impossible to buy everything.
The hall was extremely lively, with constant bidding sounds ringing out, and those cultivators were competing with each other in high spirits.
As for Yisi and the others, they hadn't made a move yet, quietly waiting for the last few items to appear.
"Auctioning the 60th item, this is a damaged soul technique book named 'Xuanhun Technique'! The grade is lower fourth-grade. It's said that when it was complete, it could reach sixth-grade."
The maid brought up a small tray with a small booklet on it, looking very old and having quite some history.
"It's actually a fourth-grade lower soul technique." As soon as the words fell, many exclamations sounded in the hall, and many people whispered to each other.
As for Jia Xin and the other two, their faces were extremely calm. The soul techniques they cultivated were not low, and they looked down on those below fourth-grade.
"A four-star lower-grade soul technique, incomplete?" Unlike them, Yi Chen's face showed a strong interest, he was attracted by the two words "incomplete".
The Heavenly Book can perfect the incomplete Soul Technique, and according to Jia Meng's introduction, when that Soul Technique is complete, its grade reaches six grades.
Yi Chen is currently using a four-star soul technique, and the cultivation speed is really too slow. If he can take down this set of soul techniques and perfect it, Yi Chen will have a six-star soul technique!
At this thought, Yi Chen's heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate, and his eyes flashed with fervor.
"The auction for the fourth-grade lower-level soul technique is now starting. The base price is 40,000 gold coins, and each bid increase is 2,000 gold coins." Jia Meng's voice rang out.
"Forty-two thousand gold coins."
"Forty-four thousand gold coins."
"Forty-eight thousand gold coins." As soon as the words fell, the hall was filled with bidding voices, among which there were many small fish and shrimp who joined in the excitement.
Yi Chen's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he listened to the bidding below, wanting to buy this soul technique would likely come at a considerable cost.
However, he didn't rush to bid, but instead swept his indifferent gaze over Gu Yun and Da Huang Zi's bodies, finding that they didn't have any intention of bidding, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
"Seven hundred thousand gold coins." A moment later, a loud voice rang out in the hall, and when this price came out, the originally lively hall became much quieter.
"Seven hundred and twenty thousand gold coins." If he continued to wait, the price might be driven even higher. Yi Chen thought for a moment before making a decisive move to sell.
"Xiao Yi, what's this?" Jia Xin turned his head around, looking at Yi Chen with a strange gaze, and asked.
It's not just Jia Xin, but also Da Huangzi and Gu Yun, who were attracted by Yi Chen's call price.
He shrugged and didn't explain, he didn't want the secrets of the Heavenly Book to be exposed.
