Chapter 849: Chapter 849: Bidding

"Lin Chen, I truly adore you."

Jiang Jiayun, full of gratitude, looked at Lin Chen and spoke.

Lin Chen’s support gave the always strong, never-guard-down Jiang Jiayun a warmth she had never felt before.

She almost wanted to rush to Lin Chen’s side immediately, to hug him tightly and plant several firm kisses on him.

But just as she was about to do so, Lin Chen promptly stopped her.

What a joke, Liu Qingxia was right across from them. Although they didn’t have any official relationship, they had been intimately close in the past.

If Lin Chen continued to show affection in front of her, even going as far as intimate contact with other women, he couldn’t imagine how much Liu Qingxia would want to kill him. Lin Chen dared not challenge Liu Qingxia’s bottom line.

Seeing Lin Chen keeping his distance, Jiang Jiayun felt a tinge of disappointment in her heart.

She had already made several advances towards Lin Chen, even openly declaring her feelings, but Lin Chen seemed completely oblivious, giving no chance to Jiang Jiayun at all.

This made Jiang Jiayun start to doubt whether Lin Chen was a normal man.

Jiang Jiayun was confident in her charm; after all, even Gong Siyuan couldn’t resist her. If it wasn’t for Gong Siyuan’s single-minded pursuit of Yan Ruyu, a talented and well-backed lady of heaven, he would probably have made a move on Jiang Jiayun long ago.

Before long, the price of the Spirit-transforming Needle had been pushed to eight hundred thousand, which was fifty thousand more Top Grade Spirit Stones than the Falling Sea Seal.

"Eight hundred and fifty thousand!"

Suddenly, a bidding voice arose from the box opposite Lin Chen.

This made Lin Chen’s body stiffen, somewhat embarrassed. He never expected Liu Qingxia to be interested in the Spirit-transforming Needle.

He guessed that she probably wanted to buy it for her disciples, not for herself.

But no matter what, Liu Qingxia indeed made a bid.

Yes, the bidder was indeed Liu Qingxia. For a moment, Lin Chen did not know what to do.

If Liu Qingxia knew that he was bidding and intended to buy it for another woman, what would be the difference between that and secretly keeping a mistress and buying her expensive treasures?

"Nine hundred thousand!"

Hearing the bidding voice from the opposite box, Jiang Jiayun hesitated only for a moment and then made her bid.

Even knowing that the bidder was Divine Flame Sect’s Sect Master, the foremost beauty of the Eastern Domain, Liu Qingxia, Jiang Jiayun was not intimidated.

After all, with Lin Chen backing her up, what did she have to fear?

Hearing Jiang Jiayun’s bid, Liu Qingxia in the opposite box immediately furrowed her eyebrows.

Liu Qingxia thought that the young girl opposite her shouldn’t be able to produce nine hundred thousand Top Grade Spirit Stones.

But thinking of the girl’s previous intimate interactions with Lin Chen, Liu Qingxia suddenly realized something, her expression turning very ugly.

She let out a sharp exclamation, a cold aura radiating from her body, and Deng Yue by her side immediately noticed the change in her Master. Liu Qingxia knew how wealthy Lin Chen was.

A mere nine hundred thousand Top Grade Spirit Stones were nothing to Lin Chen.

After all, back in the Endless Sky Mountain Range, Lin Chen built an incredibly sturdy defensive barrier to protect Divine Flame Sect against seventeen thousand soldiers of the Lin family army. Such an act, even the Six Great Superpowers would find hard to match in a short time.

At this moment, right after Jiang Jiayun’s bid, Liu Qingxia’s gaze sharply turned towards Lin Chen.

Despite the spacious auction stage separating them, Lin Chen immediately felt the chilling gaze of Liu Qingxia.

Initially, Lin Chen felt a bit guilty, but he quickly straightened his chest.

He hadn’t done anything wrong to Liu Qingxia, therefore he wasn’t afraid of her.

"Nine hundred and fifty thousand!"

Suddenly, another bidding voice came from a private room on the third floor.

Even though Liu Qingxia had already given up the bid at eight hundred and fifty thousand, this did not mean the others would stop there.

The bidder this time was Shi Lei from the private room number seven on the third floor, a True Disciple of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect.

Although Shi Lei bid freely, his heart was bleeding.

To make this bid, he had to deal with fellow Sect brothers and gather these Spirit Stones.

Therefore, if the price rose any higher, he could no longer compete.

"One million!"

Jiang Jiayun glanced at Shi Lei in the private room number seven on the third floor, muttered quietly to herself, and then made another bid.

One million Top Grade Spirit Stones was not a small sum, she definitely couldn’t produce so many Spirit Stones herself, but with Lin Chen’s promise to help her secure the bid, she continued bidding without hesitation.

"Damn woman, how dare she compete with me!"

Shi Lei, looking towards the direction of the private room where Lin Chen and others were, his gaze falling on Jiang Jiayun, had an extremely unsightly expression.

Jiang Jiayun’s raised bid completely broke his maximum bidding limit.

He could no longer raise the price and could only watch helplessly as the Spirit-transforming Needle slipped away from him.

Looking at Jiang Jiayun, Shi Lei clenched his fists tightly. But he dared only keep his anger in his heart.

In these two years, Formation Sect had excelled in battles against the Red Soul Hall and the Dark Demon Race army.

Moreover, Jade Cauldron Sect was an ally to Formation Sect, and Cloud Sky City alone had killed countless Red Soul Hall armies in just these two years.

This merit, everyone attributed to Formation Sect, and with Qin Batian having recently broken through to half a step to Creation Realm, now nobody dared to provoke Formation Sect without good reason.

The lands of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect were reliant on Formation Sect, and they didn’t want to have a conflict with them.

So, even if Jiang Jiayun snatched away the magic treasure he desired, he could only swallow his grudge.

"One million for the first time, one million for the second, one million for the third time!"

With the gavel of the voluptuous auction maid coming down, the Spirit-transforming Needle ultimately belonged to Jiang Jiayun.
