Chapter 439: I Will Get Everything
Hearing what Xu Que had said, everyone there was shocked.
A million Spirit Stones of low quality?
People all looked up to the room on the second floor that Xu Que was sitting in.
In fact, a two-star magic weapon, even if it had been made by the Water Empress herself, could at most be sold for the price of a hundred or two hundred thousand Spiritual Stones.
However, Xu Que had already called out his price, which was a million Spirit Stones, before anyone else had had the chance.
A million Spirit Stones for a two-star magic weapon? He must be crazy!
The curtain over Xu Que's room was still closed, so no one really saw what he looked like.
"What is going on? Who is that young man?" asked the woman in the court dress.
"There is no need for us to find who he is. As long as he has a jade invitation card, he must be someone noble."
The woman in the dress frowned and looked at the room again.
Apart from Xu Que, another three famous people had come to this auction.
An arrogant woman who was in the room opposite Xu Que's shook her head and smiled. "I thought the one in the opposite room had to also be someone of importance... well, after all, he is just an amateur. A million Spirit Stones? Really? I think he has spent every penny he has got!"
A man in another room sneered. "That young man is so reckless! How on earth does he have a jade invitation card?! Well, it must have been given to him by his old master."
...
"The VIP guest in room number 3 would like to buy this magic weapon for a million Spirit Stones, is there anyone else who would like to buy it for a higher price?" the woman in the dress asked.
"A million Spirit Stones once! A million Spirit Stones twice! A million Spirit Stones thrice! Deal!"
Dong!
The woman knocked the desk with her wooden hammer. She looked at Xu Que's room and smiled. "Congratulations! The VIP guest in room 3 gets this magic weapon!"
Everyone was silent and shocked. They had no idea what that young man wanted to do and felt that he might come here to make trouble. They also thought this young man was just putting on a show and could not possibly pay a million Spirit Stones in the end.
Normally, one would have to pay his money at the end of the auction, so no one really knew if Xu Que could give out a million Spirit Stones.
"Ten bottles of medicine, starting from fifty thousand Spirit Stones!"
Xu Que had plenty of medicine, so he did not call out his price this time.
At last, a cultivator purchased the medicine with ten thousand Spirit Stones.
"How strange. Why hasn't he called out a price this time?"
"He must have run out of his Spirit Stones."
"A million Spirit Stones for that magic weapon?! He even did not hesitate..."
"How on earth could someone like him have a jade invitation card?"
...
People began to discuss this topic. Among them were people who looked down upon Xu Que very much.
Xu Que felt a bit unhappy when he heard people's talking.
You think I have run out of my Spirit Stones? You are joking! I shall buy all the objects and you will get nothing!
"The third object, a Jade Pendant of Purple Gold. The Water Empress received it when she was young and she has been wearing it ever since. It is a third-star magic weapon. The starting price is a hundred thousand Spirit Stones of low quality..."
"A million Spirit Stones of low quality," Xu Que said.
Seriously?! Him again?! A million Spirit Stones?! What's wrong with him?
The woman was stunned. She had hosted many auctions by far, but she had never seen someone like Xu Que who directly called out a price that was ten times higher than the starting price.
Besides, a million Spirit Stones would be enough to buy three to four third-star magic weapons.
Dong!
The lady knocked the desk with her wooden hammer again.
"Never mind, he is just showing off!"
"A million Spirit Stones for an object each time, he will run out of his money soon."
The young cultivators at present sneered.
They were all pissed off by Xu Que and had never thought that they would meet such a peculiar person. But none of them complained. No one had money like Xu Que did.
Almost everyone at present thought Xu Que would run out of money soon.
"He cannot stick that long!"
"Anyway, he is wasting his own money, not mine."
"Well said. We should all stop calling out prices from now on."
A young man sneered and stared at the room where Xu Que was. "Don't be silly, if we do this, he will grow more arrogant. A million Spirit Stones for an object, so what?! I can do that too! He who laughs last laughs longest!"
Meanwhile, the woman asked the helpers to bring the fourth object. She then waved her hand and the red cloth covering a jade plate disappeared. On the jade plate, there was a little golden hairpin that was decorated with a few, white jade beads. The beans were emanating strong water Qi.
"Next, the fourth object, it is..."
"I, Liu Yun would like to have this for a million Spirit Stones!" the man spoke before the woman could finish speaking.
Everyone at present was shocked and they all turned around. They found that it was the young man who had said that they should not stop calling out prices.
The young man looked very happy and thought Xu Que would not dare to call out a higher price.
Liu Yun sneered. "He really thinks he is something, right? Oh, come on! Does he really think a price of a million Spirit Stones of low quality could frighten me?"
Dong!
The sound of bronze bell rang from Xu Que's room.
"I, Wang Sicong, would like to have this object for ten million Spirit Stones."
