Chapter 95: True Heart Gu
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
This Gu set was finally bought at the price of 586,000 primeval stones, which was more expansive than the two-element Silver quality rank four Wind Cloud Gu from yesterday.
Fang Yuan could not help but have some doubts.
If the price went up all the way, would he still be able to secure that Gold quality Gu worm with the over one million primeval stones he had?
However, the following items dispelled his worries.
Over a dozen items after the Gu set basically sold for between two to three hundred thousand. They were all considered average, and there were no special high-quality items.
During this period, Li Tongzhou had also made two bids, but his bids were quickly drowned out by other people’s bids. Jiang Yuncheng, who was in the private room, had no intention of appearing this time.
Thinking about it, it made sense. After all, Jiang Yuncheng was a prodigy of his generation. The arrogance in his bones was innate. Last night, they did not give Jiang Yuncheng face and attend the banquet, so Jiang Yuncheng naturally would not help them.
It was already good enough for him to show them a good face while greeting them.
The VIPs in the other private rooms had not made any bids from the beginning to the end today, as if they were waiting for something.
Just as Fang Yuan was feeling a little bored, the sixty-fourth item was introduced.
[True Heart Gu] (Gu Egg): Support type, Gold quality Gu worm!
Fang Yuan’s spirits were lifted. It was finally here!
Through the system’s identification, this Gu worm had a very special ability. It could tell whether something was real or fake!
No one could lie in front of it. It was similar to the True Sight Gu.
But this kind of Gu worm that could probe the human heart had a certain limit. It consumed the Gu worm’s mental strength.
When used to a certain extent, the Gu worm would enter a dormant state, and only after it recovered could it be used again.
Even so, it was very practical.
But the host did not mention the weakness of this Gu worm. After introducing the quality and function of the True Heart Gu, he directly started the auction.
The starting price was 300,000!
“The price is going to rise.”
Fang Yuan naturally knew this was a small trick of the auction, but he could only bid loudly, “500,000!”
Unfortunately, even though he had bid 200,000 primeval stones more than the starting price, 500,000 was still far below the value of a Gold quality Gu worm. How could it suppress a group of Gu masters who had been waiting for a long time?
In less than two seconds, many people were competing for the price, raising it rapidly.
When the price rose to 640,000, a cold snort came from the VIP room at the top.
“800,000!”
“VIP number five bids 800,000! Is there anyone higher!” The host put a little pressure on the atmosphere on the stage.
Fang Yuan hesitated for a moment, then directly shouted out the maximum price he could bear. “1.4 million!”
The old man in VIP room number five saw Fang Yuan’s intrepid way of raising the price, and he could not help but hesitate.
“Which clan is he from?”
A person at the back replied respectfully. “Reporting to Elder, we do not know for now. We only know that he is the brother of the lady beside him, and the Qilian Sect and Liuyun Sect are very polite to them.”
“Could he be from a hidden clan?”
The old man stood by the window, asking in a friendly tone. “May I know where you come from, fellow Daoist?”
Fang Yuan cupped his hands, saying with an ancient tone, “It is not that I do not wish to tell you, but the clan rules forbid me from using the clan’s name while travelling outside. Please forgive me.”
“So that is the case, I was presumptuous.”
The old man also knew that some clans that did not want to interact with the outside world were like this, and after pondering for a while, he finally sighed. “Forget it, forget it, there is no need to form a grudge with such an existence over such a Gu worm, let them have it.”
Saying so, he sat back down and closed his eyes, no longer paying attention to this round of auction.
Fang Yuan waited for a while below, and seeing that there was no movement from VIP room number five, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
At present, no one dared to make a sound. This price was already slightly higher than the value of the Gu worm, and disciples of ordinary clans could not raise the price again.
Moreover, they did not want to provoke an existence that even a VIP did not want to offend.
The scene quieted down, the other VIP rooms all quieted down, with no intention of bidding.
The host Gu master was somewhat disappointed. Could it be that with just a few words, the ownership of this Gold quality Gu worm would be decided?
Although she was unwilling, out of duty, she could only shout, “1.4 million going once... 1.4 million going twice... 1.4 million…”
“1.41 million!”
A familiar female voice suddenly sounded.
Fang Yuan frowned and raised his head. Why did Bai Yao get involved at this time?
He took a deep breath and bid again, “1.5 million!”
Bai Yao lightly shouted, “1.51 million.”
“1.52 million!”
This was all Fang Yuan had.
Bai Yao’s figure appeared at the window. She smiled sweetly and looked at Fang Yuan with determination.
“Could it be that you have no more money, fellow Daoist? You actually only increased the bid by this much?”
After speaking, she raised her voice again. “1.6 million!”
Fang Yuan couldn’t help but clench his teeth. Why did this little devil want to go against him?
Li Tongzhou spoke from the side, “Sen- cough, elder brother, if you want, I still have several hundred thousand primeval stones here.”
“There’s no need. If we continue fighting, we will end up spending two Gold quality Gu worms’ worth of primeval stones.”
Fang Yuan shook his head, rejecting Li Tongzhou’s good intentions.
In the end, just as he remained silent, Jiang Yuncheng and Qin Wentian continued bidding, raising the price.
Not long after, the price of this Gu worm soared to a sky-high price of 2.3.
However, Bai Yao seemed to have an inexplicable obsession with this Gu worm. No matter how high the price was, she would only increase it by 10,000.
“2.45 million!”
Jiang Yuncheng’s expression was already somewhat ugly.
“2,460,000.” Bai Yao’s expression was calm, as if she did not care about these few million primeval stones.
“Hmph!”
Jiang Yuncheng was so angry that he waved his sleeves. “Since fairy Bai likes this Gu worm so much, I will give face to the Gu Demon Sect, I will give up!”
“Second brother Jiang, ah second brother Jiang, if you dare not spend more money, just say so. Why are you acting so magnanimous?”
Qin Wentian, who was at the opposite end of the stage, was extremely disrespectful as he exposed the truth. After that, he turned to Bai Yao.
“Fairy Bai, I have a good relationship with your senior, Yun Tianyi. I don’t want to damage our relationship just because of an auction.”
“Right now, the amount of primeval stones I can use is slightly more than second brother Jiang. After deducting the sect’s share, I still have around 2.8 million.”
“I will increase the bid by another 10,000. If you have more primeval stones than me, I will make another bid. No matter how much higher the bid becomes after that, I will withdraw. Fairy, will you stop here?”
Bai Yao calmly glanced at him as she ungratefully replied, “2.81 million.”
“...”
Qin Wentian’s face turned green.
