Chapter 225: Mr. Qin, Stop Showing Off
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Because the Blood Qilin Pill allows a practitioner in the Qi Cultivation Stage to successfully establish their Foundation without encountering any Tribulation Heart Demons, it is in extremely high demand even within the Cultivation World. This directly led to Xu Fan, who once had a Kylin as his underling, making a fortune in the Cultivation World.
The Blood Bodhi, if consumed directly by a Martial Artist, only affects those below the Daoist Master Realm. However, with the addition of Kylin blood and Xu Fan’s refinement, its efficacy is doubled, allowing those in the Qi Cultivation Stage, also known as the Grandmaster Realm, to advance as well.
Although the realm above Grandmaster in this world is called the Great Supreme State, only Xu Fan knows that this mysterious Great Supreme State is merely equivalent to the Foundation Establishment Stage in the Cultivation World.
What does Foundation Establishment mean? If the Qi Cultivation Stage is like setting one foot inside the threshold of the Cultivation World, then Foundation Establishment is like having both feet firmly within it.
Only at this point does the Cultivation World truly open its gates.
In this world, only Xu Fan has stepped through this gate and even became a top entity within it.
Therefore, even in this world with scarce Spiritual Energy, Xu Fan has the confidence to once again stand at the pinnacle of the world.
On the auction stage, Wang Fangtong gently waved the small hammer in her hand and spoke into the microphone to the audience, “We will now begin the auction of today’s final treasure, the Divine Medicine Blood Bodhi. The starting bid is one hundred million!”
“Damn! That’s insane, starting at one hundred million, way more than everything else before!”
“One hundred million is just the starting bid, what are you shocked about? The real spectacle is yet to come.”
“It seems this auction wasn’t meant for us. Such a small thing could buy my entire company…”
The crowd at the venue expressed their emotions, and within seconds, the occupant of Box No. 2 was the first to call out a bid.
“The guest in Box No. 2 has made a bid, the Blood Bodhi is now at one hundred million thanks to Box No. 2. Do we have any higher bids?” Wang Fangtong said excitedly upon hearing the bid.
This Subhuti, starting at one hundred million, means he gets at least three million in handling fees from it, how could he not be excited?
Inside Box No. 2, Qin Haowen looked at the screen with a fierce expression and arrogantly said, “See? Our Qin Family is always first. This Blood Bodhi will certainly fall into our Qin Family’s hands!”
The sycophantic Zhang Qiang also chimed in, “That’s for sure! When Young Master Qin makes a move, who dares to be reckless?”
No sooner had his words fallen, Box No. 3 began to call out a bid: “One hundred and ten million!”
Wang Fangtong praised, “Now Box No. 3 has started bidding. The Blood Bodhi, one hundred and ten million. Is there anyone who wants to bid higher than Box No. 3? This is a divine medicine that only grows one fruit in a millennium!”
“One hundred and twenty million!” In the box where Elder Lin was, the sickly-looking old man also picked up his bidding device and entered his bid.
“Box No. 5 bids one hundred and twenty million, and now the highest bid belongs to Box No. 5!” Wang Fangtong continued with excitement in her voice.
“One hundred and fifty million!” In Box No. 3, the beautiful girl with a ponytail, Gu Xiaorui, continued to raise the bid for the Blood Bodhi with her brother’s authorization.
“Damn! The people in the boxes above are way too rich, right? Only three bids and it’s already at one hundred and fifty million. This Blood Bodhi is practically more valuable than the Golden Bodhi!”
“Right? We in the hall have nothing to do with it. Are we just here to watch their show?”
“Being able to witness such an awesome historical moment today, won’t that be enough for you to show off when you go back?”
As the spectators in the boxes heatedly bid against each other, the crowd below also eagerly began discussing.
The series of items auctioned earlier hadn’t piqued the interest of the box patrons very much, leading some to assume the boxes were empty. Only now did they realize that the true powerhouses were hidden inside the boxes, and it appeared they knew the importance of the final treasure, having come specifically for this Blood Bodhi.
After the price of the Blood Bodhi had just reached one hundred and fifty million, Qin Haowen’s face in Box No. 2 began to look unhappy. He thought his family was the only one wanting the Blood Bodhi. Unexpectedly, right after he made a bid, others quickly followed, indicating that without a few fierce rounds of bidding wars, it would be difficult to outbid them.
“I’ll offer two hundred million!” Qin Haowen directly opened the window of the box, revealing his true face.
The glass in the boxes was one-way, allowing those inside to see out, but not the other way around.
Now that Qin Haowen had opened the box, everyone suddenly realized that it was Qin Haowen from the Qin Family of Zhonghai City sitting inside Box No. 2.
“My Qin Family is determined to get this Blood Bodhi! Everyone knows me, so I won’t say much. If you can refrain from raising the price, it would be showing face to my Qin Family. I, Qin Haowen, will definitely repay the favor in the future. But if anyone still wishes to raise the bid, they will be crossing paths with my Qin Family!” Qin Haowen snarled, spitting out these words to everyone in the hall.
Qin Haowen’s words immediately caused quite a stir at the auction.
An auction, after all, is about who pays the most. This is a universally accepted rule. But Qin Haowen had brazenly shown his face and used the power of the Qin Family to threaten others, blatantly bullying with his influence. Although people didn’t say it out loud, they were all quite contemptuous of his actions.
The Qin Family, being one of the top ten families in Zhonghai City, was well-respected. People in the hall, although disapproving of Qin Haowen’s words, didn’t dare to confront him directly. Just a flick of the Qin Family’s finger could cause substantial damage to their interests, or even obliterate their businesses.
Xu Yixue in the hall heard Qin Haowen’s voice and noticed that he too was present at the auction. However, she had never had a good impression of Qin Haowen, and now seeing him blatantly showing his true colors at the auction, she felt an even stronger sense of aversion toward him.
“Yixue, why is Qin Haowen here too, and willing to spend two hundred million on this Blood Bodhi?” Ye Xiaoning asked Xu Yixue curiously.
“It’s not surprising for the Qin Family to show up at an auction, but they’re being too domineering. To make such a statement publicly at the auction is simply shameless,” Xu Yixue said, frowning and huffing.
“Yeah, why can’t other people buy what the Qin Family is after? If I had the money, I’d definitely raise the price just to spite him. Let’s see him try to show off in front of me!” Ye Xiaoning said indignantly.
