Chapter 299: The Man from D4

A bunch of more ingredients was being sold and the auction wasn't close to being halfway done. The prices were barely at around 4 to 6 True Spirit stones. There were items with a lot more value being sold later on for sure.

Alex was getting lazy when suddenly a feeling appeared inside him. It was very, very, very minute, but he caught it and thought, 'An alchemy ingredient?'

Yu Min pulled the cloth and revealed a box with a small flower inside of it. Yu Min pulled out the flower to show to everyone and said, "This is an Umbra Lotus, a flower with incredible Yin Qi. "

"It can be used to make pills with Yin energy or be used in poisons. There are also Yin bases formations and artifacts that can possibly use this flower as it's incredibly versatile."

"The bid for the Umbra Lotus will start at 280 spirit stones and can only be increased by a minimum of 5 spirit stones," Yu Min declared.

The audience was a little taken aback. The minimum bid price had suddenly increased. Meaning, everything from now on was going to be way more expensive with each bid.

"You may now begin," Yu Min said as she banged the gavel on the wood.

The bid amount had increased but that wasn't a deterrent to any of the people with money. As soon as they were allowed, they immediately started to bid.

The bid increased 5 spirit stones at a time and soon the bid was at 400 spirit stones.

'Should I get in on it too?' Alex thought. An alchemy ingredient, especially one that had the higher energy Yin as well.

'Why not? Not like I'm going to lose anything whether I get it or not,' Alex thought and started bidding.

"500 spirit stones," he bid. However, his bid was immediately outbid by someone else. Even though many people wanted it, Alex could head that the guy in D4 really tried his best to outbid everyone.

'Does this guy want everything?' Alex wondered.

"580 spirit stones," Alex tried to bid again.

"600 spirit stones," the man immediately outbid him again. A few other people tried to bid against him but people couldn't really outbid the man.

"Ahem," a voice came from the same room where the bid was happening. The voice was quite low, however, and only Alex and a few others near the room could hear it.

'Did they accidentally leave the mic on?' Alex wondered.

"Uncle, let the other people get the flower. You don't really need it right?" A young voice appeared from the room in contrast with the old man's voice.

"630 spirit stones," the man bid loudly and addressed the young man's queries. "Uhh… Nah. I'll just get it cause I can," the man said.

"Sigh, uncle. What will you even do with that flower?" the young voice asked.

"I don't know. I will let the alchemists and formation masters figure it out," the older voice said and continued bidding.

Alex was beyond dumbfounded by what he was hearing. 'Get something just because he can? Just how rich is this guy. Could it be he is the son of a rich merchant?' Alex wondered.

The man reminded him of Huo Tu. He also was used to throwing around money to get what he wanted, even when fighting, and didn't really care about others.

'I hate these types of men,' Alex thought. Unfortunately, the world loved these people. The man managed to outbid every single person in the Umbra Lotus big and successfully won it.

"The Umbra Lotus has been won by the guest in D4 for 740 spirit stones," Yu Min announced.

Not many people clapped at the announcement as they did earlier on. It seemed the people had already started hating the man on D4.

Yu Min didn't pay attention to the people's sentiment and proceeded with the auction. The next item was a Fan artifact that sent out gusts of wind which could disrupt the balance as well as the focus of anyone below the True Lord realm.

The bid started at 300 spirit stones and went up 5 spirit stones at a time.

As soon as Yu Min hit the gavel, people started bidding immediately. People started outbidding each other, but the man from D4 never joined the bidding war.

450, 500, 550.

The bid quickly reached 600 around which the bid started slowing down. There were still a few dedicated bidders who really wanted it, but the others had stopped by now.

"760 spirit stone," a man from VVIP room I5 bid.

He waited for the other woman that was currently on a bidding war with him to bid, but she never bid again. It seemed the bid was finalized.

Yu Min waited for a few minutes and asked, "Any more bids?" seeing no one answer, she started hitting the gavel.

"760 spirit stones going once."

"760 spirit stones going twice."

"760 spirit stones go— "

"770 spirit stones" A familiar, but equally hated voice spoke at the last moment. The people in the hall looked up with hateful eyes at room D4. Although they couldn't see anyone that was inside, they could still let the person know that they hated it.

"What? Do you guys want the fan too? Then why don't you bid it?" the man said. The audience got a little angry and a person decided to bid.

"775 spiri— "

"780 spirit stones." Before the other man could even finish, the man from D4 outbid him.

"785— "

"790 spirit stones," the man bid again.

"800 spiri—"

"810 spirit stones." The man who had been bidding all this time tried to join the bidding war as well, but he was immediately outbid.

In the end, the man couldn't continue and gave up the fan to the man in D4. Yu Min waited a bit more and counted. However, there was no one that was going to stop the gavel now.

"Congratulations to the guest in D4 for buying the Millennium Feathered Fan for 810 spirit stones."
