There was a moment of silence before the hall interrupted into a demeaning roar. The Netherworld Siren was a semi-aquatic beast. It lives primarily in water but it wasn't as if it couldn't live on land. It could also shapeshifter into a human form. Demonic beasts that could shapeshifter into a human form were level 8 or higher. A Netherworld Siren was level 10. Divine beasts, which were seen as mythical in this world, were level 12. Don't look at the numbers being small, these beasts were all very powerful. It's said a Netherworld Siren could take on at least 5 Gold Core experts. By the way, Xue Lang, a snow wolf is only level 3 in contrast. A beast core of a level 10 beast was very useful for human cultivators and demonic beasts alike. A Meridians level Early Stage cultivator could break through to Gold Core level Middle Stage if lucky. Or to Meridians level peak stage if really unlucky. The difference between Meridians level and Gold Core level was like the difference between Heaven and earth. A Gold Core expert cultivator was untouchable by those below. That just shows how valuable this beast core is.
"The starting bid is 50,000 yuan." After seeing everyone's excited faces, the auctioneer declared the starting price.
"100,000 yuan!" The price immediately doubled. Even for big forces, it never hurt to have more experts.
"500,000 yuan!"
"1 million yuan!"
"5 million yuan!" Not even a minute in the price had jumped exponentially.
"20 million yuan!" Someone form the fourth floor yelled. At this, the bidding became exclusive to the well-off medium and big forces. If the other people had this much money, they would not be sitting on the ground floor. They could only sigh in regret. They didn't even last one minute.
"30 million!" The difference between the big forces and small is rally big.
"50 million!" A resounding confident voice sounded in the auditorium-like building. Then, another silence ensued. A Netherworld Siren's beast core was certainly valuable but throwing 50 million at it like that was still a bit over the top. At most, the market price was only 25 million. Then again, it is rare...
"Hmm... Someone really wants this beast core." Shen Tianyu looked at the fourth floor window that the young male voice had come from. The curtain obstructed her view but she could see there were three figures in the room. One of them was the young man that placed the bid. Judging form his voice, he was probably some Young Master of a big organization or Sect in his teens or younger. 'Well, it's a good thing for me but...' Shen Tianyu thought.
"50 million! Is anyone willing to offer a higher price?!" The auctioneer shouted. Feeling the silence, the auctioneer could only back down. "50 million going once!"
'Look, look. You scared everyone off.' Shen Tiny complained. There were two more items, the other big forces wouldn't want to waste so much money on a beast core now and smaller organizations didn't have the finance to match the Young Master. 'This place is for profit, got it? For profit.' Shen Tiny sighed.
"50 million going twice!"
"50 million 1 thousand!" A young female voice sounded from a room on the fifth floor. The specialty auction of Lotus Pavilion had a rule that when one raises a bid, they must raise at least 1 thousand. The minimum amount of raise for normal auctions is 500,000.
Shen Tianyu could almost hear the grinding of teeth, even though the young man was across the auditorium, at least 5 li(1) away and hidden by a beaded curtain. The sneaky smile on her face didn't diminish at all.
"This Miss here, if you participate in malicious bidding, the Lotus Pavilion won't let you go." The young man said in a calm tone.
'Hm... Not bad, this kid. He got his anger suppressed quite quickly.' Shen Tianyu still had her cheek in her hand and her elbow on the ledge of the window. "How can this be called malicious bidding?"
"You clearly haven't bid on it until now but you suddenly started bidding. Not to mention, yo only raised the bid by the minimum amount. What is this if it isn't malicious bidding?" He asked.
'Pft. Even if it was, what can they do? I'm the Master of this place. If anyone in Lotus Pavilion dared to punish me for this, they won't have their jobs anymore, if they're lucky. If it reaches the ears of adoptive Father... tsk, tsk.' Shen Tiny was her adoptive father's soft spot. If he heard someone dared to be rude to his daughter, he won't let them go. In the aspect of offending her, her father was more concerned about it than she was. She was actually more lenient, compared to her father, excluding certain things that were connected with her and her man. One of which was being rude to her because they wanted to steal her man.
"I didn't want it before but i want it now, is that a problem? Does this Young Master want to even control people's thoughts? This Young Master's Sect really is great." She commented with a sneer on her face.
The young man could only grit his teeth. Even the gods might not be able to command other's thoughts, how could he dare to claim so? "55 million." He went back to bidding for the Netherworld Siren's core.
"55 million 1 thousand." Shen Tianyu followed up with the same price increase.
"60 million!" The young man shouted as he balled his hands not fists. He couldn't afford to bid any more yuan.
"Aiyah, what a pity. I didn't bring that much with me today. Young Master has such good fortune." The female voice sounded.
"Not at all. Thank you for your generosity." The young master said through gritted teeth. The voice came form the fifth floor, that means the bidder was wealthier than him, how could they to have the money? But they let him have it at this price. Besides, before they had already claimed it wasn't malicious bidding, if he pursued it now, he would just seem petty.
"60 million going once!" The auctioneer looked around the auditorium. "60 million going twice!" There as still no further bid. "Sold to the Young Master on the fourth floor. Please come pay for it after the auction. Our auction house guarantees it will not do anything untoward to this young master."
