After speaking, Qin Xuan closed his eyes to rest.
"Damn it!"
In the private room, Yang Lin's Face turned red with anger.
He had originally thought he could rely on this move to make Qin Xuan bleed profusely.
But Qin Xuan didn't take his bait at all.
Eighty thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones, just to buy a secret art that could only double combat power?
"Eighty thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones once, eighty thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones twice, eighty thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones thrice, sold!"
The old man on the auction stage was now beaming with joy.
The auction house takes a ten percent cut, and his earnings for each auction were tied to this commission.
So, the higher the bid, the more the auction house earned, and the more Spirit Stones he received.
"Bastard!"
Seeing that Qin Xuan hadn't followed up with a bid, Yang Lin finally couldn't help but roar in anger.
The others secretly glanced at him, not daring to say anything more.
"No matter, it's just a few tens of thousands of Top-Grade Spirit Stones, it's nothing."
He comforted himself.
But this feeling of being stifled made him very uncomfortable.
A few tens of thousands of Top-Grade Spirit Stones were indeed nothing to him, but the feeling of being played was too uncomfortable; this uncomfortable feeling made him wish he could order his subordinates to kill Qin Xuan right now.
"You all, after the auction ends, find a way to follow this person, and I'll kill him after my father and I finish our business."
Hearing this, his subordinates immediately nodded subserviently.
"Pfft!"
On the other side, in the private room where the several people from Middle State were, bursts of laughter erupted.
These private rooms all had soundproofing Formations, so under normal circumstances, no sound would escape.
If there was laughter, it could only be that those people were deliberately trying to provoke the Southern Frontier side.
"Alright, next is the next auction item."
Soon, another auction item was brought up; this was a Low Grade Spiritual Artifact, perfect for buying to upgrade the Bi Yun Bell or the Wu Feng Sword.
"Water Cloud Sword, Low Grade Spiritual Artifact, water attribute, stronger when encountering water, its combat power can rival a Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact, starting bid, ten thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones, each bid must not be less than one thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones."
By now, the items appearing were generally not too bad, so the prices were relatively high.
"Eleven thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones!"
Qin Xuan bid directly; this item was still useful to him and could be used to upgrade the Wu Feng Sword.
"Thirty thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones!"
After Qin Xuan's bid, the Southern Frontier private room immediately bid thirty thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones, with a strong intent to oppose Qin Xuan.
"This person is really interesting."
Qin Xuan raised an eyebrow.
"Thirty thousand!"
Everyone present gasped.
This person actually bid thirty thousand directly, causing many to immediately abandon the idea of continuing to bid.
Qin Xuan, however, raised an eyebrow.
"Thirty-one thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones."
"Fifty thousand!"
Yang Lin directly opposed him.
He was used to being arrogant and overbearing; in his eyes, Qin Xuan was like a small fry.
Qin Xuan curled his lip.
"This is a trap for you; it's already fifty thousand, if you bid again, he'll immediately give up."
Han Ye told Qin Xuan.
Hearing this, Qin Xuan nodded.
"Since he wants it so much, then let him have it; I don't lack this one Low Grade Spiritual Artifact either."
"Fifty thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones once... sold!"
At fifty thousand, naturally, no one else bid, and this item was sold again.
"He clearly had fifty thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones, why didn't he follow!"
Yang Lin was truly about to faint from anger now.
He had specifically chosen a price Qin Xuan could afford, but Qin Xuan actually didn't follow.
"Next item, Thousand Spirit Mirror, it can affect a Cultivator's Divine Soul, starting bid, ten thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones!"
After the auctioneer on the auction stage made his bid, Qin Xuan immediately bid.
"Eleven thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones."
Although others really wanted to bid, recalling how the Southern Frontier Young Lord and Qin Xuan had competed just now, they all immediately quieted down.
"Thirty thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones."
Yang Lin bid directly.
This time he had already thought it through: as long as Qin Xuan bid, he would immediately not follow, making Qin Xuan bleed profusely.
After he finished bidding, everyone else looked towards Qin Xuan's side, waiting for him to bid.
However, Qin Xuan didn't bid from beginning to end.
"You trash, aren't you going to bid?"
Yang Lin couldn't help but speak.
"No, since you like this item so much, and you have enough Spirit Stones, I'll let you have it."
Qin Xuan said coldly, showing no intention of giving him Face at all.
"You!"
Yang Lin's eyes went black, and he nearly fainted.
"Hmph, do you think this little trick can fool me? How ridiculous!"
Qin Xuan sneered, not giving the other party a chance to set a trap.
"Alright, sold!"
On the auction stage, the auctioneer excitedly brought down the hammer, cheering for having sold another Spiritual Artifact at a high price.
At the same time, the crowd in the hall watched the scene unfold like a play.
From beginning to end, the people in the Southern Frontier private room were being teased in various ways, which made everyone present look at that private room with pity.
They were simply too pathetic.
"Next is the next auction item, the Low Grade Spiritual Artifact, Profound Crystal Bell. This bell was forged by Great Master Xuan Ling over three years and is a very good defensive Spiritual Artifact. After our tests, even a High Grade Spiritual Artifact would not easily tear through this bell's defense."
"The starting bid is also ten thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones, and each bid must not be less than one thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, Qin Xuan lightly coughed and bid directly.
"Eleven thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones."
This price was relatively low; around eighteen thousand to twenty thousand Spirit Stones would probably be a good price.
Hearing Qin Xuan use the same method to bid eleven thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones directly, everyone collectively turned their gaze towards the private room of the Southern Frontier people.
They wanted to see if Yang Lin would make another move.
"Damn it, do I look that much like a chump!"
Yang Lin was already fuming, and these people were still watching like it was a show, which made him very displeased.
"Young Lord, should we bid?"
Someone asked timidly.
"Bid? Bid for a big ghost, we've been played three times already. I suspect the people in that private room are shills for this auction house. Let's not fall for it, ignore him."
Hearing that they didn't need to bother with Qin Xuan, the others quickly nodded and then hid to the side.
"Is there anyone else bidding?"
Seeing only a bid of eleven thousand, the auctioneer immediately asked around.
However, at this moment, the entire hall fell into a certain silence. Some looked at Qin Xuan's private room, while others looked at the Southern Frontier's private room.
But no matter which, everyone seemed to have no intention of making a move.
After all, these two sides were having quite a lively fight, and they had no intention of interfering.
"Alright, why aren't you ringing the bell yet? How much have you already earned from that Young Master, and you still want to earn money from me?"
Qin Xuan spoke lazily. On the auction stage, the auctioneer, who had originally hoped to make a fortune, could only reluctantly ring the bell.
"Thank you, brother. If you hadn't made a move, I wouldn't have been able to get such a good item."
Qin Xuan looked at the private room mockingly, his words dripping with sarcasm.
