Chapter 492 The bidding for spirit crystals became a hot topic.
"Ok!"
Wen Chengbin nodded earnestly and said, "Don't worry, little sister, I will."
As expected, after the host announced the starting price, the price of this high-quality spirit crystal skyrocketed like a rocket.
The major powers in Ningqian City started bidding and scrambling to buy the item, and the price soared to 100,000 spirit stones in an instant.
After a fierce competition, three bidders remained.
These three families were all VIPs in the private rooms upstairs. One was a female cultivator's voice, another was a middle-aged male cultivator's voice, and the last was a soft, effeminate voice that was indistinguishable between men and women.
The female cultivator said, "I will offer 102,000 spirit stones."
The male cultivator said, "I will offer 103,000 spirit stones."
A soft, feminine voice: "One hundred and five thousand spirit stones."
Wenwen transmitted her voice: "Second brother, it's your turn."
Upon receiving the signal, Wen Chengbin subconsciously rubbed his thighs together, remembering to project an air of dominance and grandeur.
So, he opened his mouth and offered a price: "110,000 spirit stones."
This sound? !
Wow, everyone in the lobby on the first floor turned their heads at once.
It's those same spendthrift kids again! This is going to be interesting!
Upon hearing this, Master Huida, who was in a private room upstairs, immediately sat up straight.
He couldn't help but look down. With the master's cultivation, he could see through the disguises of the three siblings downstairs. If he wanted, he could also hear their voices. However, the master was a man of principle, and there were some things he disdained to do. He only cared about the person behind these three siblings who could draw talismans and form arrays.
Yes, a master is a master. You can tell just by the way Wenwen and her two siblings are bidding on the items. Besides, their cultivation level is really not up to par in Ningqian City.
In other words, the cultivation levels of Wenwen and her two siblings were immediately seen through by the people in the private room upstairs.
The female cultivator participating in the auction looked annoyed. She was furious at Wen Chengbin's bid and was about to follow suit when a companion beside her hurriedly stopped her, "Junior sister, forget it. This spirit crystal isn't that big. It can only be used to make a mid-level array plate. There's no need to waste money."
After considering it in her mind, the female cultivator accepted the offer.
That eliminates one competitor.
The male cultivator's voice said, "One hundred and thirty thousand spirit stones."
A soft, feminine voice: "One hundred and fifty thousand spirit stones."
Wen Chengbin: "120,000 spirit stones."
The male cultivator's voice said, "123,000 spirit stones."
A soft, feminine voice: "125,000 spirit stones."
Wen Chengbin: "135,000 spirit stones."
The bids were very tight.
Since Wen Chengbin was in the lobby on the first floor, his every move was under everyone's watchful eyes. So, at this moment, the three siblings were like monkeys being watched by everyone.
Just after Wen Chengbin suddenly raised the price by 10,000 spirit stones, they were immediately surrounded by a barrage of gazes.
Wenwen felt that they had inadvertently become the center of attention at the auction. It's true that you shouldn't flaunt your wealth!
It seems they still lack experience!
Wenwen transmitted her voice to Wen Chengbin, "Second Brother, let's finish this quickly and leave after we're done filming. We won't watch anymore."
"Okay," Wen Chengbin replied.
In the end, Wen Chengbin won the bid for the bowl-sized spirit crystal stone for 165,000 spirit stones.
After the spirit crystals used to make the array plates were auctioned off at a high price, the atmosphere at the scene became even more lively.
Taking advantage of the lively atmosphere, the three siblings pretended to need to urinate and stood up.
At this point, the host, Huang Xiaoqiao, started speaking again.
"Fellow Daoists, the next item up for auction is a Water Spirit Stone."
"As everyone knows, water spirit stones are materials specifically used to refine spatial magical artifacts. All artifacts related to space require water spirit stones to craft..."
As the host introduced it, a dozen strong men carried up a water spirit stone the size of a water vat.
Suddenly, Aying and Wenwen started arguing in the space.
"Master, Master, we must bid for this Water Spirit Stone! We absolutely must! We can't miss it!"
Ok?
The three siblings had already left their seats and were almost out of the lobby on the first floor.
What's going on with Aying's antics?
Upon hearing this, Wenwen hurriedly stopped, causing Wenchengjian, who was following behind her, to almost miss his stop and had to take a step to avoid her.
"Little sister, what's wrong?" Wen Chengbin asked in surprise.
Wenwen shook her head. "It's nothing. Shall we take another look?"
After saying that, the group walked back a few steps and sat down in an empty seat near the door.
Their return left the staff members responsible for maintaining order at the entrance looking at each other in bewilderment.
When the staff saw the three siblings sit down and continue watching, they didn't bother them.
Huang Xiaoqiao on the stage continued to introduce the water spirit stone.
"Fellow Daoists, look! This water spirit stone is of superior quality, clear, pure, and without any impurities. Those who are interested are welcome to come forward and examine it closely. Rest assured, this water spirit stone is safe to look at and touch. Before it is auctioned off, you are welcome to look at it as much as you like and touch it as you wish..."
The host Huang Xiaoqiao's witty remarks instantly added another burst of laughter to the already lively atmosphere.
"Alright, enough with the chit-chat. The starting bid is five thousand spirit stones, and each bid must be at least two hundred spirit stones higher."
Wenwen was puzzled when she heard the price.
Judging from the starting price, this water spirit stone doesn't seem to be very valuable, so why did Aying insist on bidding for it?
To avoid being overheard, she didn't speak privately with her two brothers, but turned around and spoke directly.
"Big brother, second brother, you each bought one item, so I need to buy one too, just to be fair, otherwise I won't accept it!"
Their tone can be as domineering as they want, and their expression can be as silly as they want.
Wenwen wasn't afraid of being overheard; her intention was for them to hear. So she didn't deliberately lower her voice or hide anything. Instead, she tried to make everyone around her mistakenly believe that they were just foolish spendthrifts with too many spirit stones.
Wen Chengjian and Wen Chengbin weren't fools either. They immediately understood Wenwen's sudden change in attitude and even added fuel to the fire to try and confuse the issue.
"Third brother, you don't know anything about this, so don't take pictures blindly."
"You talk as if you know everything!"
"Hehe, actually we don't know much about it either, we're just taking pictures for fun!"
"Hey hey hey!"
The monk beside the brother and sister...
Damn it, it's confirmed! These three are the epitome of fools with too many spirit stones!
The cultivators on the second floor who were watching the three people had different opinions. Some were annoyed, some were scheming, and some were even more curious.
However, none of this matters; it was just a minor incident.
While the competitors were bidding fiercely, Wenwen secretly chatted with Aying.
"Ah Ying, is this water spirit stone special?"
Unsure, she continued, "Look, it's been so long, and everyone's still adding 200 at a time. The atmosphere isn't lively enough, and the competition isn't fierce enough."
Aying: "Not intense enough? Then pay a high price, and it'll be intense, won't it? Hehehe!"
Wenwen: "Offering such a high price? Wouldn't that make us look even more foolish?"
