Everyone froze after seeing the location of that private room.
It was the supreme private room that had always been empty, a room even royalty was not qualified to occupy!
In their memory, that room had only hosted guests once.
Unfortunately, the guests in that room entered and exited through a special passage.
No one knew who was inside except the auction house.
Furthermore, the sounds from the room were processed by formations, making it impossible to determine the identity of the person inside based on their voice.
In the end, everyone could only speculate that the guests that time did not belong to any faction within the Ad Empire.
They never expected that someone would sit in it again today!
Could it be another powerful, independent figure showing up to join the fun?
And perhaps a prodigal son who had lost his mind?
As they were idly speculating, another voice came from another private room on the third floor.
"Five million!"
Everyone was shocked again!
It was another supreme private room!
Could it be another powerful, independent figure?
Damn!
There's a juicy gossip!
...
This bid made Ye Fan slightly stunned.
He had indeed made the bid of 1.01 million.
He just hadn't expected anyone to bid against him.
The price had instantly increased by four million, indicating the other party was determined to get this stone, wasn't it?
Thinking of this, Ye Fan felt a hint of excitement.
If he could ask this person later, perhaps he could resolve his doubts!
But before that...
He had to secure the stone first!
"5.01 million."
So Ye Fan gave a price that was sure to provoke.
There was a brief silence in the venue.
It seemed the other party was disgusted by Ye Fan's bid...
A few seconds later.
"Six million!" the other party made a new bid.
"6.01 million."
Ye Fan calmly followed suit.
No matter how much the other party bid, he would just add one million.
The next moment, the other party directly revealed a more explosive number.
"Ten million!"
"Whoosh—!"
With this bid, the venue erupted in excitement again!
Ten million!
Ten million again!
After only a few bids, the terrifying number had been broken again?!
It's just a broken stone, do you two have to go this far?!
Have the hobbies of the rich become this perverted?
If you really like stones, just tell me!
I don't want ten million, nor one million!
For a hundred yuan, I can pick up enough to bankrupt you, okay!
Insane!
This world has completely gone mad!!!
"10.01 million."
Ye Fan picked up his tea cup and took a leisurely sip.
He didn't care much about money.
At worst, he could make some more things to sell later.
Although the price wouldn't be as high with more items, he could win by quantity.
If all else failed, he could just move to another place after a quick deal.
No matter how much it cost today, this stone had to be secured!
The previous three items had fetched about twenty million in total.
After deducting the 5% commission, plus his original savings, he should still have a little over twenty million.
As long as the price didn't exceed this, he would fight to the end!
"Fifteen million!"
For this mysterious stone, the other party seemed determined to obtain it.
First, they had increased the bid by four million, and now they had jumped by five million in one go!
The record just set by the Blazing Sword was so easily broken!
The observing cultivators were now too shocked to speak!
They never imagined that the biggest gossip of this auction would be over a broken stone!
Even if they were foolish, they realized something was wrong now!
If one person acted impulsively, it might be due to a penchant for extravagance.
If two people fought desperately, it could only mean there was something special about this broken stone!
Its value was definitely above the Blazing Sword.
The Blazing Sword was not only rank seven but also possessed the impossible dual attributes of ice and fire.
Its inherent value, to some extent, was close to rank eight!
And above that...
Thinking of this, the cultivators' breathing became uncontrollably heavy!
A flash of greed involuntarily flickered in the eyes of many.
But soon, the greed disappeared.
Because they knew that such a thing was no longer within their reach.
They could only constantly speculate in their hearts about how extraordinary this stone was...
"15.01 million."
Ye Fan's bid, as always, was infuriating and mischievous...
This time, the other party did not follow.
It was unknown if they had run out of money or were hesitating.
The entire venue fell silent again.
Everyone held their breath, anticipating the outcome.
Although the final price had nothing to do with them, it was too exciting!
Many felt that since it had already soared to fifteen million, would it reach that even more terrifying threshold in the end...
The silence lasted for about half a minute.
"Fifteen million and one." Seeing that time was up, Wu De raised his small hammer: "Are there any further bids?"
The scene remained deathly still.
Inside the supreme private room.
"Ye Fan..." Liang Rujing looked curiously at his private room: "Do you think he will bid again?"
"How would I know?"
Ye Fan took out a piece of roasted meat from his ring and popped it into his mouth.
He had just finished eating, but he suddenly felt hungry again...
Half a minute later.
"Fifteen million and one, second call." Wu De stealthily glanced in the direction of the third floor: "Are there any further bids?"
To be honest.
He himself didn't know the identity of the person bidding against Ye Fan!
Both the stone and the mysterious bidder had appeared suddenly.
He had known nothing from the beginning!
He couldn't help but feel curious about the other party's identity.
However, this time, the other party still did not bid again.
It seemed they had truly run out of money.
Half a minute later, Wu De raised his small hammer high.
"Fifteen million and one, third call..."
Before Wu De could finish speaking, a new bid came from the mysterious person's private room.
"Eighteen million!"
The voice was clearly a few octaves higher than before, and the tone sounded very excited.
"18.01 million."
Ye Fan first made the new bid, and then unhurriedly said to Liang Rujing.
"It seems our mysterious friend is quite impatient."
Judging by the numbers the other party bid each time, this person rarely participated in auctions.
Each bid increased by a large margin, as if afraid others wouldn't know how much they wanted it.
This was a major taboo in auctions!
Unless, like him, the other party was not short of money and didn't care about it.
And now, it seemed the other party was clearly not in that situation.
If he guessed correctly...
Eighteen million was their limit!
As Ye Fan predicted, the other party fell completely silent after his bid.
That extra one million had successfully become the last straw that broke the camel's back!
"Bang!"
"Eighteen million and one, third call!" Wu De's small hammer finally fell: "Sold!"
