C2624 Tiger's Mouth for Food
"The Thousand Illusion Mask's starting price is a top grade immortal spirit stone. The highest bidder will have it!"
While the crowd was still anticipating the results, Gui Long slowly spoke and announced a sky-high price that would shock everyone!
As soon as he said that, the auction house, which was originally noisy like boiling porridge, instantly became deathly silent. It was as if everyone had lost their breath and could even hear the sound of a needle dropping.
The face of the person in the box suddenly turned pale as he clenched his fists. He raised his fist up high, wanting to smash it into a certain place, but he didn't have the strength to do so.
He did indeed have a lot of high grade immortal spirit stones, but no matter how many high grade immortal spirit stones he had, they were simply unable to compare with a top grade immortal spirit stone. The difference between the two wasn't something that could be replaced by the amount used.
What the hell! Not to mention these people, even Lin Bai could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. Although he had already expected the Thousand Illusion Mask to fetch a price that would shock everyone, he didn't think that the price would be so high that it would cost even one top quality celestial spirit stone.
Lin Bai was well aware of the scarcity of immortal spirit stones in the Celestial Realm. In his opinion, most of the people who came to attend the auction haven't even seen what a top quality immortal spirit stone looks like, let alone come up with such a sky-high price to buy it.
"Guiyi, you are asking for a big lion's price, who can afford such a price? And with just this Thousand Illusion Mask, is it even worth the price? " As Lin Bai expected, after a brief moment of silence, someone asked in a questioning tone.
The moment this person finished speaking, waves of cheers came from the crowd. Just as he said, even though the Thousand Illusionary Mask was quite precious, it was still far from the level of a top grade immortal spirit stone. They even suspected that the Gui Yuan Sect was intentionally raising the price, wanting to extort more money and extort more money.
"Sorry." Gui Long heard and smiled apologetically. He cupped his hands towards the rooms around him and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "I've already said before, this is a despicable business auction item. We have no right to decide the price, it was all set by the person who provided this item. If fellow daoists feel that the price is beyond what you can bear, then we can only announce this logistics auction. "
"Streamlined?" The moment Gui Long finished speaking, a faint smile appeared on his face as he walked along the room and slowly said, "Dao Friend Gui, calm down. I like this item. I'm willing to give you a top quality immortal spirit stone for it."
Hiss! The moment he said this, gasps could be heard from the audience. No one could have imagined that Young Master Tianji would be so determined to obtain the Thousand Illusion Mask, even taking out such a high price.
"The Heavencraft Family is truly rich. They're even willing to pay such a sky-high price for a top grade immortal spirit stone …"
"What do you know? This Thousand Illusion Mask is something famous by the Thousand Illusionary Master. I'm afraid it's not as simple as changing one's appearance. Moreover, even if it was just to change his appearance, using a top grade immortal spirit stone to buy it would still be a good deal for Young Lord Tianji. To be able to conceal the description and to do something, wouldn't that be much easier? "
"This kind of sky-high price, only an inherited family like the Heavencraft Family can afford it. This item will probably not be competed against by anyone at all. 90% of it will fall into his hands, but it can still be considered a treasure that is compatible with a hero.
Hearing the whispers in the arena, Lin Bai couldn't help but furrow his brows. He also did not expect that after Gui Long offered such a sky-high price, Young Lord Tian Ji would not have any intention of retreating, and still want to obtain this item.
But the more it was like this, the more it proved the value of the Thousand Illusionary Mask. Who was Young Master Tianji? He was the future head of the Heavencraft Family, and he had never seen any treasures or treasures before. But this Thousand Illusion Mask, he displayed such a strong desire for it, this proved that there was definitely something special about it.
This thing had life-saving effects on him. Even though the Supreme Profound Sect and Sword Pavilion had yet to reach the Ten Thousand Beginning Paradise, who knows if they would suddenly rush out. Moreover, in order to find him, these two sects had slaughtered a lot of people in the Mystic Moon Cave. If he didn't find a way to conceal himself and were caught by them, the consequences would be unimaginable, and it might even affect his plans to save these two small sects.
No matter what the Young Lord of the Heavenly Mystery is offering, he has to snatch it from the tiger's mouth! After some thought, Lin Bai's conviction became increasingly firm. No matter what, he had to eat the Thousand Illusion Mask.
"A top grade immortal spirit stone for the first time, and a top grade immortal spirit stone for the second time …" At the same time, after a long silence, Gui Long also started to call out prices. After calling out twice, he looked around and asked, "Are there any other people who want to raise the price?"
"Two top grade immortal spirit stones!" As Gui Long saw that no one else had raised the bid and was preparing to announce that Young Master Heavencraft had won the Thousand Illusion Mask, Lin Bai suddenly tightened his grip on his number plate and spoke in a faint voice.
"What?!" As the sound of his voice faded, the entire hall fell silent. Everyone stared in disbelief towards the private box that Lin Bai was in. It was a pity that there was a wall in the private box, preventing them from seeing Lin Bai's description.
But even so, there were traces of astonishment on the faces of the crowd. They truly did not expect that after Young Lord Tianji announced the sky-high price of one top grade immortal spirit stone, someone would actually raise the price.
But compared to his actions of raising the bid, what was even more surprising was not the unbelievable sky-high price that Lin Bai had bid, but rather that his actions, in the eyes of everyone present, had already been deemed as him vying with Young Master Tianji for the item.
Young Lord Tianji's status was so exalted, and in the Immortal World, the Heavenly Mystery family was such a terrifying existence. For those who came to participate in the auction, even if the price of the Thousand Illusionary Mask wasn't the top grade immortal spirit stones that they could only look up to, as long as Young Lord Tianji gave his price, no one would dare to snatch it away from him.
However, even though Young Master Tianji had made a bid and displayed the attitude that he was determined to win, there were still people who dared to raise the price. This act seemed to be a simple bid increase, but it was actually provoking Young Master Tianji's power, no different from snatching food from a tiger's mouth.
However, what was different from the crowd was that the girl, who had a dejected expression on her face, suddenly lit up her eyes. She stood respectfully in front of Lin Bai's box. She really did not expect that the seemingly ordinary Lin Bai would actually possess such a terrifying background. Without a word, he was able to obtain two top grade immortal spirit stones.
If this transaction was successful, the percentage that she would be able to get would also be an astronomical figure.
"Two top grade immortal spirit stones, is there anyone willing to increase the price?" If he wasn't in charge of the auction right now, he would have really wanted to see who exactly had the guts to steal food from Young Master Tianji. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke up when the audience was at a loss of words.
"Interesting. I never thought that there would be such a person in this auction …" After Young Master Tianji, who was originally sitting calmly in the grand box, heard what was said, his expression changed slightly. He looked meaningfully at Lin Bai's box, then chuckled and said, "Three top grade immortal spirit stones!"
Hiss! This kind of bid increase had completely exceeded the expectations of the people who were participating in the auction. Any one of them would have never imagined that the Thousand Illusion Mask would be auctioned off at such a high price.
This fellow was truly on par with this young master, yet he unexpectedly raised the bid again. This Thousand Illusionary Mask was truly extraordinary, to actually make him reveal such a determined attitude? Hearing Young Master Heavencraft's bid, Lin Bai couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. He began to ponder in his heart whether buying the Thousand Illusion Mask at a high price was worth it or not.
It was a matter of life and death. No matter what price he had to pay, it was worth it. Even if he had to go all out, he had to buy it! After pondering for a while, Lin Bai's eyes turned slightly cold. He gripped the number plate tightly and said, "Four top grade immortal spirit stones!"
He was going up! This brat was really going against Young Master Tianji! Wasn't this too reckless? Wasn't he afraid of offending Young Master Tianji and bringing about his own death? The moment Lin Bai's bid was announced, the entire auction hall was filled with silence, leaving only the sounds of gasps and gasps. No one had expected that Lin Bai would be so bold as to continue raising the price.
However, the fact that they were all vying for the upper hand gave rise to a faint sense of anticipation in the hearts of those present. They wanted to see if Young Lord Tianji would continue to bid against Lin Bai to fight to the death.
"Four top grade immortal spirit stones should be all you have …" Young Lord Heavencraft also had a look of astonishment on his face as he stared at the box Lin Bai was in. Closing his eyes, he pondered for a while before revealing an indifferent smile as he said, "Since that's the case, I shall give it to you for free."
"Four top grade immortal spirit stones for the first time and four top grade immortal spirit stones for the second time …" After a long silence, Long Chong spoke again, slowly starting the countdown. When the last one was announced, no one raised the bid anymore, and looked towards Lin Bai's box, saying in a clear voice: "Congratulations, fellow cultivator, the Thousand Illusion Mask is now yours!"
Done! Lin Bai couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when he heard this. Honestly speaking, he was really afraid that Young Master Tianji would continue to raise the bid. If he did, he really wouldn't be able to bear it.
However, as the boulder in his heart fell to the ground, he had an inexplicable feeling that something was wrong!
