Chapter 732: Chapter 752: It’s Mine Now! _1

In the old room, there were at least twenty or thirty people, each wearing a mask, sitting quietly in their chairs, silent and traceless.

Although there were many people in the room, it was extremely quiet, making the scene somewhat eerie.

Wang Jun led Lin Chen to find two empty seats and sat down.

"Just wait."

Lin Chen nodded, sitting quietly, not speaking.

Seven or eight more people came in one after another, the black curtain on the wall in the front was lifted, and a man wearing a mask walked out and went straight to the makeshift auction platform in the front.

"Almost everyone is here, so let’s get started."

The man’s voice was deep and authoritative, his eyes sweeping around the room, gleaming: "For each item, I will give a brief introduction and quote the reserve price. If I know the origin, I will tell you and remind everyone. If I don’t, don’t ask. If you want to buy, raise the price; if you don’t want to buy, just watch, it’s that simple."

"There are not many items today, twelve in total. Let’s start with the first one."

"First item, Ice Rainbow, a top-grade flying sword. The original owner was Huo Binghong, the Snow Dance Fairy of the Liyuezong Sect. The sword was named after her. The reserve price is one million spirit stones, and each bid increase is 100,000 spirit stones."

Lin Chen’s eyes lit up, this black market auction indeed had good things, and they got straight to the point by revealing the origin.

Lin Chen didn’t know what had become of this Snow Dance Fairy, and how her flying sword had ended up at the black market auction, but no matter what, if the sword was used in public and recognized by Huo Binghong or someone from the Liyuezong Sect, it would cause some trouble for sure.

Bidding and quoting continued unceasingly.

It seemed that although everyone knew there were risks, the sword was a good one, and it still aroused everyone’s demand.

After a fierce round of bidding, Ice Rainbow was sold for 2,700,000 spirit stones.

This price was already quite high for a flying sword. Of course, the higher the quality, the value rolled in multiples, which was normal.

A thousand troops are easy to find, a good general is hard to come by, and the same is true for flying swords and magical treasures.

Next, the man on the stage brought out auction items one after another, all of them with high value but evidently dubious origins.

Each item was fought over fiercely, with none going unsold.

Lin Chen did not participate in the bidding, as he did not want to invite unnecessary trouble. Besides, he already had a strong collection of items, except for some lacking defense treasures.

A Dragon Turtle Pendant that could withstand three Nascent Soul-level attacks, the unparalleled San Sheng Sword, the Water and Fire Mirror that could control water and fire, the Big Stupid Bell that could endure a Nascent Soul attack, and the Black Seal of unknown origin but amazing power...

"Now for the tenth auction item, a Beast Taming Bag, I won’t introduce this as those who want to buy it must already know it. The reserve price is two million spirit stones, and a 100,000 spirit stones increase with each bid."

Lin Chen’s eyes suddenly lit up. Damn, there’s actually a Beast Taming Bag!

Wang Jun also looked happy, as he hoped that Lin Chen would be able to buy the Beast Taming Bag, thus proving his value. The greater his value, the greater the probability of him surviving, right?

Through their conversations over the past two days, he had generally understood Lin Chen’s character. He had his principles, did not kill indiscriminately for the sake of profit, but showed no mercy when dealing with his enemies, which was ruthless and decisive.

He believed that if he helped Lin Chen finish his tasks and paid the ransom, Lin Chen would let him go.

Wang Jun raised the bid.

"Two million and one hundred thousand."

Lin Chen sat next to him, motionless.

Before they came, they had agreed that no matter how much it cost, Wang Jun would handle the bidding and must buy it.

Money was no object!

Although Lin Chen also needed spirit stones to buy Black Iron Crow Essence and supporting medicinal materials, the Beast Taming Bag was his most urgent need at the moment. With two Beast Taming Bags, he could carry two Demonic Beasts capable of fighting at the Nascent Soul level with him, increasing his safety factor.

If he lost the money, he could still earn more, right?

Hadn’t Wang Jun given him 20 million spirit stones as ransom for his life?

His trip to Raging Lion City, though he was sold, had brought him a windfall of 28 million spirit stones and a Beast Taming Bag, which was almost like picking up money.

Wang Jun was a good man!

The price soared and quickly reached 4,500,000. Those who called out the bids were suddenly sparse because the price was now beyond normal limits.

"Five million."

Wang Jun directly raised the bid by 500,000, demonstrating his determination to win.

"Five million and one hundred thousand."

A cold and crisp voice sounded, and Lin Chen turned his head. The bidder was sitting about three meters away from Lin Chen. Judging by the voice and the figure, she was a woman, and not very old.

Wang Jun continued to bid, the woman followed closely, and the price quickly broke through six million.

Lin Chen frowned.

Although he was determined to get the Beast Taming Bag at any cost, paying a price much higher than its value still felt unsatisfactory.

There were only Wang Jun and the woman left bidding, and neither showed any signs of backing down.

"Six million and one hundred thousand!"

"Six million and two hundred thousand!"

Wang Jun raised the bid again: "Six million and five hundred thousand!"

The woman suddenly turned her head, her eyes sharp as knives, locked onto Wang Jun. For a long while, she gritted her teeth and said, "I give up."
