Chapter 196 Auction Part IV
“110,000 Gold Coins!” Xia Tian without hesitation bid on the jade, because he was sure no one would bid on it. Those people immediately mocked him, they thought Xia Tian was an idiot, and they thought he was just wasting money.
“Is there no one else? The current bid is at 110,000 Gold Coins!”
“Going once!”
“Going twice!”
“Sold to Young Master Xia!” Hua Xiangyue announced, as she lightly slammed her hammer 3 times.
Before long, a servant delivered the jade to Xia Tian, ??and he immediately paid for it. Xia Luo gaped in shock to see Xia Tian had that many gold coins, he himself as the patriarch of the Xia main family had to think hard about spending the money.
“Isn’t this the jade that Big Sister Lifen always wore back then, Big Brother?” Wang Xinruo instantly recognized the jade.
Xia Tian nodded to her. “It turns out that you still remember it, this is really the same jade that I gave Lifen back then.”
“What kind of jade is this, Xia Tian?” Murong Feiyan who was beside them was curious, because he was sure that Xia Tian would not buy anything carelessly.
Xia Tian then explained to him. “The name of this jade is Moon Jade, and it has two benefits. First, it can help the wearer absorb energy faster. Second, it can also make the wearer look younger.”
“The effect of this jade is that great?” Murong Feiyan was dumbfounded, as he looked at the jade in Xia Tian’s hand.
“En, That’s right, Uncle Murong.” Xia Tian responded by nodding. “Anyway, I’ll split it into pieces, and make some little jewelry.”
Hua Xiangyue proceeded to the next auction item, she then showed the item. “Third Item, Heaven Grade – Transformation Bracelet. Prices start at 1,500,000 Gold Coins or 1,500 Lower Spirit Crystals, multiples of 100,000 or 100.”
“Nice bracelet, but it’s useless to me.” Xia Tian muttered under his breath.
Wang Xinruo laughed softly. “Of course, the bracelet is nothing in your eyes, Big Brother. Because your transformation technique is better than that bracelet.”
Soon, the bracelet also sold for 5,500,000 Gold Coins, and it was the prince who bought it again, as he continued to stare at Xia Tian with malicious intent, and no one knew what he was thinking.
“Purple Spirit Grass!” Xia Tian called softly, after the next woman removed the cloth covering the item, and inwardly she cursed. ‘Damn woman! She didn’t even tell me about this herb.’
“Next item, Purple Spirit Grass. This herb is quite rare, and those who know about alchemy already know its benefit.” Hua Xiangyue spoke, as she glanced at Xia Tian with the intention of showing off. “Prices start at 500,000 Gold Coins/500 Low Spiritual Stones, multiples of 50,000/50.”
‘Just watch what I do to you later, I’ll definitely teach you a lesson.’ Xia Tian continued to curse Hua Xiangyue in his heart, and he did not immediately bid for the herb.
“550,000”
“600,000”
“700,000”
Hua Xiangyue was confused to see Xia Tian who had not bid yet, even though she was sure that Xia Tian must be very interested in the herb. Some time later, the price of the herbs had already reached 1,500,000 gold coins. 𝐨𝘃𝗹.
“Is there no one else?” Hua Xiangyue asked as she raised the hammer in her hand.
“Going Once!”
“Going Twice!”
“1.550,000” Xia Tian finally bid as he continued to stare intently at Hua Xiangyue, feeling Xia Tian’s intent gaze on him, it made Hua Xiangyue tremble slightly.
“Hey Brat. Do you have the money to pay for it?” An old man in the VIP room shouted in a condescending tone to Xia Tian. “Why are you bothering me to get the herb?”
“What does that have to do with you whether I have money or not, Old Man? If you really want the herb, then you increase your bid.” Xia Tian replied with an nonchalant shrug, Wang Xinruo and Murong Feiyan who were sitting beside him laughed out loud.
“You-!”
Xia Tian interrupted him straight away. “You what? Hurry up and raise your bid, don’t keep the others waiting.”
The old man gritted his teeth, then turned to Hua Xiangyue. “Are you sure this little brat can afford it, Miss Hua?”
“He is my big brother, Master Hong Li. If you insult him like that, it means you insult me ??too.” Wang Xinrou coldly said.
Hong Li and the people turned to Wang Xinruo, they just remembered that she addessed Xia Tian as her big brother, and her words made Hong Li gloomy.
Hua Xiangyue sighed softly, then answered him. “There’s no need to worry about that, Master Hong Li. Since Young Master Xia is my special guest, so I believe he can afford it.”
Master Hong Li and others were taken aback by Hua Xiangyue’s words, they didn’t expect Xia Tian to be her special guest, no wonder he was able to join them in the VIP room.
“You’ve heard of it, haven’t you?” Xia Tian snorted disdainfully at Hong Li, then said to Hua Xiangyue with mocking words for Hong Li. “You’d better decide quickly, Miss Xiangyue. It seems this old man is running out of money to bid again.”
Since Hong Li also didn’t bid any higher, Hua Xiangyue decided that Xia Tian was the one who managed to get the Purple Spirit Grass. Hong Li himself continued to stare at Xia Tian angrily, and he was plotting something in his heart.
After that, the auction continued, several other items had been sold through hard bidding, but all of these items did not interest Xia Tian to buy them.
Not long after, Hua Xiangyue opened an item covered in cloth, and it was Xia Tian’s target item, the Rainbow Coral. She then spoke. “This time, we coincidentally got our hands on this big chunk of Rainbow Coral, all of you here must know for sure about its benefits apart from being a home decorator, this Rainbow Coral can also provide peace and mental clarity.”
