Looking at the price quoted by the other party, Xiao Yan sighed helplessly, thinking to himself: "Dragon Machine, it's not that I don't want to buy this embryo, it's just that the price is ridiculously inflated."
Fortunately, after hesitating for a moment, Ning Rongrong took off a storage soul tool ring from her hand.
"Xiao Yan, I have 400,000 here."
As expected of the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School! Xiao Yan sighed inwardly. It was good that he had brought her along today. Although he had taught her a lot of things along the way, as the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, she must have seen all these things before. So, apart from Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu chatting and laughing and seemingly not feeling lonely, Xiao Yan himself didn't pay much attention to her.
After all, he knew that she had ulterior motives for keeping him around, and that they were in a relationship of mutual exploitation. But now, seeing Ning Rongrong take out 400,000 gold soul coins, Xiao Yan forcibly suppressed the urge to give her the Qiluo Tulip.
After all, there is only one old Qiluo tulip plant, and Xiao Yan has not yet figured out how to make good use of it.
However, it took Ning Rongrong a long time to make the decision to give 400,000 yuan, because Ning Fengzhi only gave her 200,000 yuan. The remaining 200,000 yuan was all the pocket money she had saved up over the years.
However, considering the future of the sect and Xiao Yan's unusual qualities, Ning Rongrong felt it was worth it. Although Xiao Yan said he would ask those present to lend him the money, she had no intention of asking for it back.
"Great! With the 400,000 that Rongrong gave us, we now have 870,000!" Xiao Yan was quite happy, even more excited than when he won the Heavenly Fire Refined Iron at a low price.
The price of this embryo is increasing very slowly now, and judging from the current situation, his 870,000 gold soul coins are more than enough.
He was even secretly telling the Digimon machine in his mind, "You better be able to do something useful for me, or I'll end up buying a piece of junk."
"Alright, the price has now been raised from buyer number 54 to 75. Are there any other VIPs who want to raise the price? This is a ten-thousand-year soul ring with unlimited potential! Moreover, this soul beast is in the embryonic stage, so it is absolutely impossible for it to awaken and it is absolutely safe."
As the auction was about to begin, Vice President Su still hoped to use his persuasive skills to drive up the price of this item. Although it was a treasured item, he had already anticipated that its price would not exceed that of the ninth piece of armor.
After all, people can only see what is in front of them. Such rare items, though unique, have no real effect. On the other hand, the armor was made by Lou Gao, the master craftsman of Gengxin City, and can withstand a blow from a Soul Saint.
To put this into perspective, the power of a Soul Master's Soul Skills is already increased under the blessing of the Martial Soul True Body, and this treasure armor can withstand the attacks of a Soul Saint. Naturally, it was snapped up by the crowd at the auction and fetched an extremely high price.
However, he is already quite satisfied with the asking price of 750,000.
"Okay, 750,000 once, 750,000 twice—" Vice President Su held the auction gavel high in the air. Just as he was about to place the bid, the two glass screens in the VIP area simultaneously displayed bids.
This was intentional on Xiao Yan's part. If he were to rush to offer a price, it would only make these nobles and wealthy people think that this was a really good item, thus causing them to compete with him for it. It was better to wait until he was sure that there were no competitors before offering a price.
Dugu Bo stood beside Xiao Yan, looking worried: "Little monster, this thing isn't as amazing as that kid said. If it's over 500,000, you don't even need to look at it." Dugu Bo wasn't worried about not getting his money back. Even now, he still felt that buying such an item was not worth it. Even though Xiao Yan was quite wealthy, he was, after all, in a golden period when he was short of money.
Soul Masters his age need a great deal of immortal herbs and elixirs to aid their cultivation. (Although the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well has plenty.)
"Old monster, this idea of a useless thing was my own, and of course I know it's not worth the price," Xiao Yan explained, however, it was the Tyrannosaurus Rex's request.
All of this was the choice made by Digimon.
He couldn't bring himself to say it, and it would be difficult for him to explain it clearly to everyone present.
Fortunately, everyone believed in his choice instead of thinking that Xiao Yan had lost his mind. But Ning Rongrong didn't care. Even if Xiao Yan had a stroke and impulsively bought this thing, she just needed to let Xiao Yan know that she was here to help him and provide him with funds.
After confirming that no one was more interested in the item, Xiao Yan pressed the bid button on the table.
"Eight hundred thousand."
Vice President Su nervously wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although simultaneous bids did occur, it was rare for two people to bid at the same time after the second gavel strike, and both of them had offered high prices.
It can be said that any price of this one, placed in a small auction, would be higher than the combined price of all the items auctioned in that entire event.
"Oh, a new VIP has placed a bid. We see that the VIP in Box 3 has bid 800,000, but unfortunately, at the same time, the VIP in Box 9 has bid 1 million! If the VIP in Box 3 is still interested in this item, they can continue to bid here."
"Did a surprise attack really happen out of nowhere?" Xiao Yan frowned, clearly not expecting that there were people from the VIP area waiting in the private room. As soon as he confidently pressed the bid button, the screen in the ninth private room lit up in front of him, so he already knew the situation before the auctioneer even spoke.
To be honest, they should know without me saying it that the snow wolf beast embryo is not worth this price, so why are they making such a brainless and random price quote?
Moreover, this price is absolutely outrageous.
Xiao Yan looked at the 870,000 in his hand and shook his head.
"Forget it, let them have it." Even if the Tyrannosaurus Rex resonated with him, forcibly bidding would only make him owe more favors and serve no other purpose. Moreover, he couldn't possibly use such an embryo as his soul ring, and he didn't understand what he could do with it.
"Big brother, these rich people are so annoying," Xiao Wu muttered.
"It's alright, it actually saves money." Dugu Bo patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder and joked.
He could tell that the little monster looked somewhat disappointed at not being able to get a picture of the item.
"Xiao Yan, I'll give it a try," Ning Rongrong said. "I used to occasionally go to the Heaven Dou Auction with my father when I was a child, so I'm somewhat familiar with it. What if I know someone in this private room? Then our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can ask him to give us this item in return."
"Alright, thank you for your trouble, Rongrong." Upon hearing the other party's words, a glimmer of hope rose in Xiao Yan's heart.
Yes, Ning Rongrong, as a little princess, must have no problem with social skills. Although this matter would make him owe the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School a favor, Xiao Yan knew he was worthy of it and he was not afraid of owing favors.
Although Xiao Yan comforted himself by saying it was alright, he actually wanted the embryo more than anyone else.
Even if he doesn't know how to use the embryo, he wants to try and see if he can take it in.
Ning Rongrong returned shortly after leaving, turning her back to close the door.
"How did it go?" Everyone was concerned about the outcome of her negotiations.
However, Ning Rongrong did not speak immediately upon returning to the private room. Instead, her expression was somewhat strange, and her cheeks were slightly flushed.
