Chapter 88 Tit for Tat in the Auction House

Lin Wan wanted to say something but was stopped by Lin Yixuan. He said calmly, “Since the second elder has this intention, I can’t say anything. Let’s wait and see.”

Looking at Lin Yixuan’s back, the kindness on the second elder’s face gradually disappeared and was replaced by a vicious expression.

“You want to get the seventh-level Extreme Mystic Pill to save someone? Lin Junyan can only be a good-for-nothing for the rest of his life!”

Soon, the auction began.

“The first auction item is a mid fifth-level spiritual artifact, the Life-Chasing Soul Slash. The starting price is 1,500 spiritual stones!”

“2,000 spiritual stones!”

“2,500 spiritual stones!”

Perhaps it was because there were too many people who came, although the starting auction price was low, it soon rose to 4,000 to 5,000 spiritual stones. Even so, compared to the prices of the other fifth-level spiritual artifacts in the other auction houses in the city, the prices were not considered much.

“The second item is a top fifth-level Prajna Golden Lotus. The starting price is 2,000 spiritual stones!”

The quality of the items auctioned this time was extremely high. Everyone competed with each other to bid, and the atmosphere instantly became extremely heated. One could only hear the voices of people shouting one after another. There were also people arguing until their faces were red. They were afraid that if their actions were slower by half a beat, they would lose the items they set their eyes upon.

Even though there were indeed a few items that even Lin Yixuan and the second elder were tempted by, they were still as steady and did not participate in any of it.

They only had one goal, and that was the ultimate seventh-level pill! However, they did not see it being auctioned, and a few of them started to get impatient.

Miao Qing took in the situation below the stage, and as if he was trying to be mysterious, he finally announced, “The final item is the ultimate seventh-level pill. The starting price is 3,000 spiritual stones!”

The originally lively venue suddenly became quiet. Everyone subconsciously looked at Lin Yixuan. Everyone knew that he had used all sorts of connections to obtain this pill. He must be determined to get it this time.

“10,000 spiritual stones!”

As expected, Lin Yixuan was the first to bid. Everyone was shocked when they heard this price and immediately increased it by several times. This kind of bidding method was rare in other auction houses.

Although the pill was precious and its effect was very good, it was only targeted at a small portion of the audience. Therefore, not many people were interested in it. Although its level was high, there were only a few people who wanted it.

Moreover, Lin Yixuan made it clear from the beginning that he must obtain this pill. Most people did not want to offend him, so why not make him happy and form a good relationship with him? Therefore, after a while, no one bid with him.

“15,000 spiritual stones!”

The crowd quickly looked toward the voice, wanting to see who it was. Their expressions suddenly became a little strange.

The person who made the bid was the one next to the second elder. Although the second elder did not directly make a move, everyone knew who the real mastermind was.

“I’ve long heard that the Lin clan’s first elder and the second elder have been at loggerheads for a long time. It looks like they’re preparing to fight in the arena now. I don’t know who’s the better one.”

“Previously, when the clan head was in control, it was still fine. Everyone was still concerned about their reputation. Now that it’s time for the Lin clan to choose the next successor, these two factions can be said to be at loggerheads.”

“Doesn’t the first elder’s faction have a genius called Lin Junyan? I heard that he was heavily injured and only this pill can save him. It’s because of this that this pill is necessary.”

“Ah, if the second elder gets it, wouldn’t that be…?”

“Shh! Keep it down. The two masters are right here. Are they trying to kill each other by discussing their grudges? Be careful or we’ll be the ones who get hurt.”

As long as there was a fight between the big clans, especially for the position of the next clan leader, the area of impact would never be small. The crowd noticed the subtle atmosphere between Lin Yixuan and the second elder and their voices became even quieter.

The atmosphere in the entire venue became a little depressing. Only the voices of the two people bidding drifted in the air. It seemed calm, but in fact, there was a turbulent undercurrent.

The price had already soared to 50,000 spiritual stones. Even if someone wanted to bid, they would not be able to do it.

Lin Yixuan and the second elder looked at each other. He said enunciated word by word, “Second elder, don’t go too far.”

The second elder did not seem to understand what Lin Yixuan meant. “First elder, I don’t understand what you’re saying. Since it’s an auction, everyone has the right to bid. Even though this is someone I know, I can’t stop him.”

Looking at Lin Yixuan’s gloomy face, the second elder was extremely happy. He knew that Lin Yixuan was determined to get the pill. Otherwise, Lin Junyan would become a cripple and he would never be able to mend his meridians.

Therefore, Lin Yixuan would do anything, even if he had to go bankrupt.

This was the effect that the second elder wanted. Even if Lin Junyan really recovered in the future, the loss of so many spiritual stones and resources would be enough to hurt Lin Yixuan and the others greatly. They would not be able to compete with them in a short time.

The rest of the matter was settled. No matter how powerful Lin Yixuan was, he would not be able to change anything. The second elder said hypocritically, “First elder, although I sympathize with you, if this pill was in my hands, I’d definitely take it

out.”

Lin Yixuan gritted his teeth and hesitated for a moment. “100,000 spiritual stones!” This price made everyone gasp as it exceeded the value of the pill.

“120,000 spiritual stones!”

Looking at Lin Yixuan’s expression, the second elder estimated that this price should be enough. It almost emptied most of his assets. He lowered his voice and ordered, “If Lin Yixuan makes a bid later, there’s no need to raise it anymore.”
