Chapter 3875: Second Bid (Revised)
Although the axe seemed unremarkable at first glance, the moment Raijin saw it, envy and greed flashed in his eyes.That's no ordinary axe, it's a Daoist weapon, one that even cultivates Daoist arts wi...The appearance of Huangpu Yu, and the expression he displayed at this moment, clearly showed his hostility towards Jiang Yun! Although this was somewhat unexpected by everyone, it was also quite normal upon closer inspection.
Between the two gemologists, Su Qianchen and Jiang Yun, it was clear that Huangfu Yu and they chose Su Qianchen.
Since Su Qiand Chen and Jiang Yun are enemies, then Huangfu Yu needs to make their stance clear in order to appease Su Qian Chen. They can't keep being ambiguous and playing both sides.
Moreover, Huangfu Yu is the son of the lord of Sishi City and the shopkeeper of Shitai Xuan.
As for offending Jiang Yun, it didn't matter to him at all.
Even, Emperor Hu's meaningful gaze swept over all the cultivators present! He knew very well that no one, even those who wanted to flatter Jiang Yun, would dare to openly oppose him. Even the young masters couldn't! Seeing everyone keep silent, a hint of smile appeared at the corner of Emperor Hu's mouth, satisfied with this, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Jiang Yun again: "Xuan Yuan Yun, don't think that you really don't know how high the sky is just because you won Master Su once."
"In my opinion, you're just a somewhat lucky gemologist. You don't have the qualifications to question the rules of this appraisal conference!"
If you want to buy bloodstone, then obediently follow the rules here. If you don't want to buy it, just shut your mouth and stop talking nonsense.
"If I hear that again, if you dare question the rules here, don't blame me for being harsh!"
Huangfu Yi's words truly tore away the last pretense and stood in direct opposition to Jiang Yun.
Ginger Yun also stared at Emperor Fu Yi, and unlike the anger she felt towards his sarcasm earlier, a smile gradually bloomed on her face. "I understand," she said, "here, your word, Mr. Emperor Fu, is the rule!"
You can understand it that way!
Huangfu Yu finished speaking and ignored Jiang Yun, turning to Shang Zhenyu instead: "Continue!"
Shang Zhenyu smirked at Jiang Yun and said in a loud voice, "Everyone, let's continue. Does anyone want to bid on this Blood Sealing Stone"
The scene fell silent again, everyone with their mouths shut.
Firstly, they all understood that the starting price set for this blood-sealed stone was actually intentionally set by Huangfu Yu to target Jiang Yun.
Although some bloodstone prices at past appraisals have been higher than this, they are generally the final selling price.
The starting price is two million Emperor Origin Stones, it's truly not something an ordinary cultivator can afford.
Even those cultivators who believed in Ginger Cloud's claims, did not dare to bid.
After all, the probability of Jiang Yun discerning the blood seal stone is not one hundred percent, but only one in ten.
If it turns out to be empty, then two million imperial source stones will be lost for nothing.
Moreover, even if one didn't care about these two million imperial origin stones, they wouldn't dare to bid lightly.
Because of Huangfu Yi's sudden appearance and his sudden hostility towards Jiang Yun! If they offered a price at this time, wouldn't it be equivalent to helping Jiang Yun Wouldn't that lead to targeting by Huangfu Yi
San Lai, everyone else also wanted to watch and see if Jiang Yun would bid himself! If Jiang Yun dared to bid himself, it would mean that he had a certain level of confidence.
But once a bid is placed, the Bloodstone will begin to be cut.
Then, during the stone-cutting process, they can also take a good look to see if any visions appear, and then decide whether to bid.
At this time, Ginger Cloud remained silent, not even glancing at the blood-sealed stone she had chosen. Instead, her gaze was fixed on the other blood-sealed stones.
This also made it even more certain that even Ginger Cloud didn't seem to have complete confidence.
After the bidding silence, Shang Zhenyu smiled slightly and said: "Let me ask one last time, is there anyone who will bid If not, then this blood-sealed stone will be auctioned off!"
Everyone remained silent, and just then, Jiang Yun suddenly sighed and said, "Two million five thousand!"
Ginger Cloud, he made a bid himself! However, to most people, his bid seemed more like a way to save face and out of desperation. The price he offered wasn't very impressive.
But no matter what, since there was a bidder, Shang Zhenyu also smiled slightly and said: "Well, I'll start cutting this blood-sealed stone now."
"Rules, and just now..." However, before Shang Zhenyu could finish his words, Huangfu Yu suddenly interrupted with a light voice: "This Blood Sealing Stone, every time the price is called, it's 100,000 Imperial Source Stones!"
Another uproar arose among the multitude of cultivators! Just now, Su Qianchen had chosen a Blood Sealing Stone, requiring only an additional 50,000 Emperor Origin Stones each time. However, when it came to Jiang Yun, the price doubled.
Don't look at it as just an increase of 50,000 imperial source stones. Although the bids were not much each time, the difference accumulates over time.
Huangfu Yu simply didn't care what anyone else thought, and he said to Shang Zhenyu, "Begin cutting!"
Shang Zhenyu remained silent, his stone-cutting knife already whirring in motion.
Everyone remained silent, watching Shang Zhenyu's actions. Only after a few breaths had passed, Jiang Yun suddenly spoke: "There's no need to cut anymore!"
Upon hearing Jiang Yun's words, the crowd was taken aback. Huangpu Yu's eyes suddenly shot out two cold lights as he glared at Jiang Yun coldly and said, "Xuan Yuan Yun, are you testing my patience"
However, Jiang Yun wore an innocent expression and said: "Master Huangfu, this is my first time attending the Appraisal Meeting. I'm not very familiar with the rules here."
But before, Miss Shang had made it very clear that if someone bid, and within five breaths no one else bid, then this Blood Sealing Stone would belong to them.
"Since I made my bid, ten breaths have passed and no one else has countered. According to the rules of the Appraisal Conference, shouldn't this Blood Sealing Stone now belong to me"
And I naturally have the right to decide whether or not to continue cutting!
Ginger's explanation left everyone speechless.
Although this is indeed the rule of the appraisal meeting, everyone knows that the five-breath time limit only starts counting from the second bid.
Ginger Cloud, it's impossible for him not to know. The reason he said that was to deliberately confront Emperor Gu! However, we can't say that Ginger Cloud is wrong either.
Because Shang Zhenyu indeed didn't make it clear, and Jiang Yun was coming to the appraisal meeting for the first time, his reason was also very reasonable.
Huangfu Yu stared at Jiang Yun, he understood Jiang Yun's purpose all too well, to the point where he genuinely wanted to give Jiang Yun a lesson! Just, he also knew that while he could make his animosity towards Jiang Yun clear, if he attacked Jiang Yun now, it wouldn't be justifiable no matter what.
In Jiang Yun's hand, a storage artifact had also appeared. He raised it towards Shang Zhenyu and said: "Here are two million five hundred thousand Emperor Source Stones!"
As he was speaking, Jiang Yun prepared to walk towards Shang Zhenyu, but at this moment, Su Qianchen suddenly smiled and spoke, "Brother Xuan Yuan, you seem to have some misunderstanding about this rule."
"The five-minute time limit starts from the second bid!"
A look of astonishment appeared on Jiang Yun's face, and he even turned to Gao Song and asked, "Is that so"
Koushun silently nodded, he didn't really understand what Jiang Yun meant at all, so he didn't dare say much.
"Gingeryun awkwardly bowed to everyone and said, "I'm so sorry, everyone. I'm new here and don't know the rules. So, Miss Shang, can you continue cutting now"
With Su Qianchen's initiative, it also eased Huangfu Yu's situation, allowing him to let out a cold snort and stop speaking.
Ginger Cloud then added, "Furthermore, I'll raise the price to 2.2 million!"
Ginger Cloud's second bid made everyone's hearts skip a beat.
They originally thought that Ginger Cloud was offering a price for her own sake.
And now, without any sign or indication, he offered a second bid.
Given his previous feigned interest, does this not indicate that he is highly desirous of purchasing this Blood Sealing Stone
That doesn't mean that there aren't good things inside this blood-sealed stone!r Xuanyuan had fought for the Mirage Clan were now over. It was very likely that Elder Zang or other demon clans would soon attack the Mirage Clan.Before that, he had also discussed this issue with th...
