Chapter 183: The long-awaited moment
Chapter 183: The long-awaited moment
With the way Bai Long was spending all of his money, it didn't take long for every single one participating in the auction to take notice of him.
Other than sending their people to investigate about Bai Long, a few of them began testing how rich he was by bidding in the same items and deliberately raising the price.
It was during these times that Bai Long managed to trick quite a few into bidding higher and then he no longer bid on them making the others pay almost five times the item was actually worth.
And it was due to Bai Long doing such things repeatedly that he managed to buy the following items for a cheaper price with no one else bidding on it.
Either way, once people find out that the one bidding was an Eighteen-year-old boy who was in the Qi Sage Realm, most of them didn't have any intention to bid against him.
Especially due to how the items that were being auctioned weren't anything special and just a few rare Yin type herbs and materials.
After all, the truly strong ones weren't here for anything other than the 720 tonnes of Crystal Yin that were going to be auctioned at the end.
As for the audience in the stands, they were just here for fun and to see who'd end up buying the best item of the day and how much they'd spend for it.
Bai Long who didn't really have any interest in holding into money spent exactly how much he had with him to purchase a various number of Yin type materials.
And by the time he finished spending it all, the auction had entered the final stages where all the items that were being auctioned were mostly weapons, techniques, and treasure maps and so on.
Bai Long, however, had zero interest in bidding for such items due to which he didn't feel bad from using his money too soon and then missing out on anything good.
Instead, as the auction was reaching its end while Jin Ying hadn't shown any signs of the Crystal Yin going back to its original size, Bai Long felt even more excited at the increasing chances of the Crystal Yin turning back to its original size in the middle of being auctioned reaching an all-time high.
Snickering from just thinking about the various reactions that everyone would have once the happened, Bai Long unconsciously pulled the head of the woman who was ducking on his dick closer as he cummed for the third time.
Letting out a pleased sigh, Bai Long kept on looking towards the stage while waiting for the Crystal Yin to be auctioned.
...
While Jin Ying was a little surprised when Bai Long suddenly stopped bidding, she felt that he was reserving his funds to purchase the Crystal Yin and therefore didn't think much about it.
After all, he had already spent a small fortune of more or less five hundred Qi Crystals until now.
As the auction reached its final stages, the items began being sold at a much faster rate with everyone being anxious for the main item of the day to make its appearance.
Not disappointing anyone, once all of the remaining items were auctioned Jin Ying immediately had the 720 tonnes of Crystal Yin which were placed inside a portable compression array brought onto the stage.
"As everyone can see, the compression rate has been set to a thousand times. And to prove that we aren't trying to cheat any of you, I'll go ahead and remove a piece of the Crystal Yin from inside the array."
Saying so, even though no one in the audience doubted the credibility of the Phoenix Pavillion which had branches all around the Mainland, Jin Ying stayed true to her words and broke a nail sized piece of the black crystals inside the array.
As soon as Jin Ying pulled her hand back and brought the crystal out of the array along with her, it immediately increased by a thousand times and reached a size which was bigger than the average human.
With loud cheers erupting, Jin Ying followed Bai Long's expectations by setting the starting price at 1000 Qi Crystals.
Smiling meaningfully, Bai Long chose to place the first bid.
"1100 Qi Crystals."
And just like he expected, once the first bid was made everyone else began shouting our their bid as loudly as they could.
"1500 Qi Crystals."
"15.... "
"1700 QI CRYSTALS!"
"You cheap fools, this load of Crystal Yin belongs to me. 2000 Qi Crystals!"
"Humph! 3000 Qi Crystals."
For the next few minutes, the entire auction house was filled with people shouting nonstop while their auras also crashed against each other by trying to dominate the other one.
With the price soon crossing what even Bai Long expected to be limit, he understood that the Crystal Yin was truly an item with high demand and no supply.
If not, how could the price reach 7000 Qi Crystals in such a short time?!
Smiling more happily than she ever did in her entire life, Jin Ying kept on trying to raise the bid even higher as she could almost see the future in which she would no longer be just a manager of one branch, but the head of a region who controlled hundreds of branches.
It was just around that time that her life's work came crashing down right in front of her eyes.
With the bids no longer pouring out nonstop, Jin Ying looked around herself to see the audience who had looks of pure confusion and shock in their eyes.
What was happening?
Following what everyone was looking was, Jin Ying looked towards the array which contained the Crystal Yin when her heart dropped.
Rubbing her eyes to make sure she wasn't dreaming, Jin Ying even pinched herself in front of everyone before she was sure that everything that was happening was real.
The Crystal Yin had decreased by four times!!!
The 720 tonnes of Crystal Yin had turned into 180 tonnes!!!
