Chapter 1338: Chapter 1337: Target (Part 2)

With his control over the lighting and other settings, it was nearly impossible for anyone to see Lin Xi’s entire face.

Even those who could see clearly wouldn’t recognize him.

The Dwarf Demon and Yang Feifei could only see a part of Lin Xi’s face.

From just that small corner, it was impossible to identify him.

As for his voice, he had subtly changed it.

Thus, the Dwarf Demon merely glanced at him and then looked away.

Yang Feifei, on the other hand, curiously stole a few more glances.

She couldn’t quite understand—was squandering money done like this?

Tens of millions!

Suddenly, her concept of money became somewhat blurred.

In the eyes of these people, is a billion or so not even considered money?

Damn it, it was far beyond her imagination.

Trash!

Scum of society!

She muttered inwardly.

Especially towards the person who had just forked out six billion.

The elderly man on stage was overjoyed.

Just like that, he had made an unexpected profit of tens of millions.

Initially, he thought selling this warm jade for three billion would already be quite impressive.

Now, six billion!!!

More importantly, the one in the corner with the privilege of a first bid discount didn’t act.

Otherwise, he would be heartbroken.

"Six billion, going once!"

"Six billion, going twice!"

"Anyone else?"

"If there is, better hurry; it’s the last chance!"

He held the hammer, took a look, and realized no one was speaking up.

Moreover, the person who offered five and a half billion also remained silent.

It seemed that there truly was no competition.

"Six billion, sold!" He happily swung down the final hammer.

This meant the item now belonged to Lin Xi.

Immediately, someone came forward with a machine capable of processing large money transactions.

As for the thousand-year warm jade, two strong men wanted to carry it over.

However, Lin Xi declined.

He preferred it to stay on the stage for the time being.

As for the money!

He could pay first!

Six billion—not so much money.

To him, there were over a hundred billion lying in the bank.

"Hehe!" He couldn’t help but mock those laughing at him.

He was well aware they mocked him, thinking he was a fool for spending so much money on this.

It was truly not worth it!

But he knew—six billion was already a very low price.

This Crimson Flame Green Jade, though not as potent as the elderly man claimed, had long-term effects.

If used wisely, it could last centuries without a problem.

Crucially, it was great for practitioners.

One could extract that warm current from it.

This would prevent practitioners from running into deviations and allow smoother cultivation.

Even if the effects weren’t strong.

But having some effect in this regard was extremely precious.

Moreover, it had miraculous effects for those with cold constitutions.

And Lin Xi had Qiaoqiao beside him.

If Qiaoqiao cultivated near this Crimson Flame Green Jade in the future, it would greatly help her health.

This far surpassed its value to others.

For Lin Xi, there was no real effect.

But if it helped his women,

Then six billion, regardless of its true value, was worthwhile for him.

Several more items were auctioned afterward.

The prices were quite frightening.

All starting in the billions.

This was what many people came here for.

The competition was fierce.

If not for the elderly man’s presence and influence here,

many might have already started fighting.

In the end, some were disappointed, some delighted.

It was entirely an auction based on financial power.

Of course, many employed different strategies, having primary, secondary, and tertiary goals.

When a target item reached a price where they couldn’t afford it even with all their money, they wouldn’t compete further.

Yet they still didn’t let bidders off easily, forcing high prices.

This way, when it came time for the next item, those who bid high previously would have fewer funds left.

After all, even those from large families had budget limits.

During this period, Lin Xi didn’t make a move.

Though others saw good items, to him they were of no use.

In other words, he wasn’t interested.

What puzzled him was why Yang Feifei wasn’t interested in the auction items.

Was her target someone here?

Perhaps a wanted criminal or something!

The Dwarf Demon had already acted twice.

And every time, he succeeded in buying.

The prices were undoubtedly high.

But Lin Xi could tell from his expression that he was not short on money.

Several more items were auctioned, yet Yang Feifei still hadn’t acted!

Even though many times, she seemed ready to participate.

But she never called out a bid!

What on earth was her objective?

Not only Lin Xi was curious, but the elderly man on stage was puzzled too.

Because only three items remained.

And every one of these final three items started at ten billion.

They were indeed the climax.

Could it be these last three items?

The thought made the elderly man’s face turn pale.

Damn it, because he estimated each of these could fetch over fifteen billion.

If it really was these three, that would be a huge loss!

But it seemed likely to be these three!

Because that person hadn’t bid on any of the earlier items.

Alas!

This was self-inflicted!

He planned to take a break of a year or two after hosting this auction to recover from the emotional blow.

Actually, it was simply him being dissatisfied.

He had already earned tens of billions.

The nine percent discount amounted to two billion.

In the context of total earnings, it was merely a small proportion.

The third last item for auction was a Bone Refining Pill, plus two Spirit Stones, and a set of Fist Skills!

Starting bid, ten billion!

People in the audience didn’t feel this price was high at all.

Because the Bone Refining Pill could let someone break through limits and dramatically increase in strength.

Even at twenty billion, they might still consider it.

Moreover, there were two Spirit Stones.

These were only controlled by major families.

As for Fist Skills, though they significantly improved one’s combat prowess, they were the least valued among these two items.

The Bone Refining Pill and two Spirit Stones were hugely attractive to Peak Soldier Kings.

Because it meant they had a chance to break through the Soldier King level and reach a higher tier.

The temptation was simply irresistible!

Moreover, after introducing, three Peak Soldier Kings came forward as security.

Though the auction rarely had disturbances, under such circumstances, they worried someone might act impulsively.

Seated, Lin Xi slightly raised himself.

He hadn’t expected the Bone Refining Pill to be available here.

Whose hands did this item escape from?

At the same time, he noticed Yang Feifei’s expression changed from before!

Could this be her target?
