Chapter 639: Chapter 639: Exciting Auction (4)

"Ideal price? Hmm, two billion, I suppose," said An Yiqing after a moment’s thought.

"Girl, do you still have any other Jade Spirits?" Duan Tang, who had been silent, asked softly.

"Yeah, I want to get one as well. Tsk tsk, who wouldn’t want something that extends one’s lifespan?" Bai Yiming stroked his chin, lost in thought.

Seeing the eager look in the two men’s eyes, An Yiqing nodded gently, "I do have more, but this Jade Spirit is only somewhat useful for Old Master Bai. Grandpa Duan’s powers have just reached the Innate level, and this thing won’t be much use to him. How about this, I’ll get another color of Jade Spirit for Grandpa Duan later."

"There are other colors of Jade Spirits? They come in different colors?"

Everyone was somewhat puzzled.

"Indeed, there are seven colors of Jade Spirits: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, and there’s also a transparent one. The deeper the color, the better the effect of the Jade Spirit, with violet being the highest grade. The transparent one, which I auctioned today, is the most basic and only effective for those who have just stepped into the beginner stages of ancient martial arts."

An Yiqing gave a rough explanation of the Jade Spirits before turning to Bai Yiming and saying, "Young Master Bai, if I’m not mistaken, Old Master Bai should only possess beginner level ancient martial arts power. This transparent Jade Spirit is just right for him; it can improve a lot."

"That’s wonderful! My old man has always regretted taking up the cultivation of ancient martial arts too late; after spending a dozen or so years, he’s still at the initial stage of Qi Refinement. But now, with this Jade Spirit, he’ll no longer have to nag me."

Although she doesn’t know much about the Bai Family, An Yiqing recalled her grandfather mentioning that Old Master Bai met Old Master Gu in his twenties, and the two became close friends. Generous and loyal, Old Master Gu did not hold back and gave Old Master Bai a copy of his family’s cultivation manual. However, it was unfortunate that by that time, Old Master Bai was already in his twenties, almost thirty, and even with cultivation, he made no significant progress, only achieving slightly better health than the average person.

Nevertheless, with this Jade Spirit, his power is likely to take a qualitative leap, at the very least capable of breaking through to the mid-level of Qi Refinement, if not reaching the peak!

As the chat in the private room on the second floor became more animated, the auction seats on the first floor didn’t hold back either.

By this time, the bidding for the Jade Spirit had been pushed to one billion eight hundred and sixty million, only one hundred and forty million away from An Yiqing’s estimate of two billion!

As the price rose higher, the number of people calling out bids began to dwindle, with only a few individuals still resolutely competing.

Looking out from behind the one-way glass, An Yiqing quickly scanned the few people who were still persistently bidding.

Standing behind An Yiqing, Zhang Yusheng did not have her keen eyesight and took a while to find the guests who were still actively bidding.

Suddenly, his gaze halted and he frowned, muttering to himself, "Why is it him?"

"Who? Do you know him?" asked An Yiqing, puzzled.

"No, miss, look at that portly man in the grey suit in the southeast corner – yes, there," Zhang Yusheng guided.

Following the direction Zhang Yusheng was pointing, they saw a middle-aged man who was as round as a ball, seated at the southeast corner of the auction area. He looked to be in his forties, with a slightly balding head, and due to excessive nutrition, his chubby face had a greasy appearance.

Although the man was sitting, it was evident from his arms that he was not particularly tall. He had an ordinary face without any distinctive features. If one had to point out something special, it would be the small, shifty eyes under his eyebrows, which gleamed with cunning.
