C789 A Hundred Taels
"Looks like they don't know what this stone is used for." Lee Zhuohua realized that the people below did not show any signs of liking this stone, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
He was determined to have it, but he didn't have that much money to fight for it with the people down there, and as long as no one wanted the stone, the stone would end up in his hands.
Thinking about it, it made sense. Those who were at the peak of this world were those forbidden figures, and those forbidden figures were only at the half-step Return to Origin Stage. It wasn't time to open up the space in their bodies at all.
Thus, it wasn't so strange that these people didn't know about the Sky Dome Stone.
After understanding all of this, Lee Zhuohua felt that he would definitely be able to obtain this stone. A smile appeared on his face.
When the two of them saw Lee Zhuohua's expression, they felt that it was a little strange. Could it be that Lee Zhuohua liked this stone?
They naturally did not know what Lee Zhuohua was thinking, but to them, that stone was useless. They would not bid for it.
"Brother Li, you want that stone?" Zhan Wuhen asked tentatively.
The Master Yue at the side also looked at Lee Zhuohua at the same time, wanting to hear why Lee Zhuohua wanted this stone. Could it be that Lee Zhuohua knew this stone?
After Lee Zhuohua heard Zhan Wuhen's voice, he turned his head and saw the puzzled expressions on their faces. His heart skipped a beat.
"I saw that the stone caught my eye and I liked it very much, so I wanted to take it down." Lee Zhuohua casually made up a story. He would not be so stupid as to tell these two about the Sky Dome Stone.
"I see." When the two of them heard this, their expressions couldn't help but turn strange. However, since Lee Zhuohua liked it, they couldn't say anything else.
When the old man on the auction stage saw the lack of interest from the people below, he shook his head in the end. In fact, if the people from the Ten Directions Pavilion knew what the stone was used for, they wouldn't have taken it out to auction.
This piece of stone was obtained by Soong Chengfeng, the master of Ten Directions Pavilion, in the Nine Heavens. At first, he thought that it was some kind of special spirit treasure, but in the end, it turned out to be just an ordinary stone, but it was surprisingly solid.
Out of respect for his reputation, Soong Chengfeng took it out for auction. He also wanted to know the origin of this stone. At this moment, Soong Chengfeng was in another private room.
"Is there no one who knows what this is?" Soong Chengfeng was a little disappointed.
"Alright, the starting price of this stone is fifty taels. Everyone can begin." The old man shouted at this time.
Even the starting price was so low. Anyone could tell that the Ten Directions Pavilion didn't know what the stone was or what it was used for, and naturally, no one below would buy a stone.
However, there were also people who tried to bid out of curiosity.
"62 taels."
It was a young man who was bidding. It seemed that he just wanted to try his luck and know what this thing was.
When the old man saw the bidder, he also shook his head with disappointment. He didn't bid anymore except this young man.
Just when the old man was about to make a final decision, a voice came from the private room behind him.
"One hundred taels."
When the voice came out, everyone was stunned. They were not stunned by the price, but they were stunned by the bidder. They could not understand why someone would want to buy such a broken stone.
The young man who had made the bid was silent when he saw that someone had placed a bid of a hundred taels of silver. He was only curious as to what the stone was.
Therefore, this hundred tael was the final price of this stone. The person who called out a hundred tael was Lee Zhuohua.
At this moment, he was a little nervous in the private room, worried that someone would compete with him. However, his competition was superfluous, so no one continued to bid.
The old man on the platform didn't think that the person who called out a hundred taels of silver would know the origin of the stone. He only thought that the person was just curious.
Therefore, it didn't take long for this stone to be delivered to Lee Zhuohua's hands.
In the other private room, Soong Chengfeng glanced at Lee Zhuohua's private room. He did not know who was there, but he vaguely felt that this person might know something. He walked out of the private room and headed towards the private room of the bidder.
"Luckily, no one is fighting with me for it." Lee Zhuohua saw the stone in his hand and felt a burst of excitement in his heart. Under the puzzled gazes of Zhan Wuhenn and Lee Zhuohua, he quickly put away the stone.
"Brother Li, what are you doing?" The corner of Zhan Wuhen's mouth twitched. He really couldn't understand why Lee Zhuohua wanted to buy this stone.
"Haha, nothing. I just think I like it." Lee Zhuohua said casually.
At this time, the sound of footsteps came from outside the room and Soong Chengfeng walked in.
Soong Chengfeng's arrival made Lee Zhuohua and the other two feel a little surprised, and they did not know what he was doing here.
Soong Chengfeng did not expect that the bidder would be Lee Zhuohua. After a moment of surprise, his gaze returned to normal.
"I did not expect that you would buy this stone." Soong Chengfeng looked at Lee Zhuohua and said as his brows slightly twitched.
"He's here for this Sky Dome Stone?" Lee Zhuohua's heart moved slightly, but his face did not reveal anything.
"What, you want to interfere in my bidding?" Lee Zhuohua asked with a hint of provocation.
"I naturally don't care if you participate in the auction. I am here because I am curious as to why you want to buy this stone. Do you know what this is?" Soong Chengfeng stared at Lee Zhuohua, wanting to see something from his face.
However, there was no expression on Lee Zhuohua's face, which made him feel strange. On the contrary, he was a little unhappy because of his arrival.
"I just think that this stone suits my taste. If you like it, then buy it. Do you have a problem?" Lee Zhuohua said.
When Soong Chengfeng heard this, the corner of his mouth slightly raised. It was unknown whether he believed Lee Zhuohua's words or not, but after glancing at Lee Zhuohua, he turned around and left.
Lee Zhuohua heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the man leave, but he felt that there was something strange about him.
When Soong Chengfeng was here just now, the two of them did not say anything. Now that he had left, Zhan Wuhen walked towards Lee Zhuohua.
"Brother Li, it's better if you don't provoke this person. Although he is as famous as Little Sword Immortal, to a certain extent, he is even more dangerous than Little Sword Immortal." Zhan Wuhen reminded Lee Zhuohua.
Lee Zhuohua only nodded his head in response. He knew that Soong Chengfeng was a member of the Moonlight Sect. The reason why Zhan Wuhenn said this was probably because of the mysterious power of faith.
Zhan Wuhenn did not know if Lee Zhuohua had listened to him, but if it was him, he would definitely not provoke Soong Chengfeng.
At last, after this episode, the auction began to return to its original intensity, for the latter reports were indeed more striking than the previous ones.
