Surge of Cultivation

Ye Qingdi, Xia Bing and Xia Huo were sitting in the southeast corner of the last row of the auction hall. They watched hundreds of high-spirited bidders in front of them raise their numbers and shout out even higher prices. When someone shouted out the number "four hundred million", the three couldn't help but exchange a look. There was no need to mention Ye Qingdi and Xia Huo. Their faces were full of joy. Even Xia Bing, who was as cold as ice, had her eyes lit up.

It was already quite good for the 50 year old combat beads to be sold for 400 million, but Ye Qingdi still wished to sell them at a higher price. He also heard that five years ago, a fifty year old Battle-Pearl was bought by someone at a high price of six hundred million, creating a record for the hundred year old "Hongli Auction House". This fifty year old Battle Pearl was just brought back from the Battle Beast Star, it was definitely fresh out, and even if it was sold for less than six hundred million, it shouldn't be too low right?

When the bid reached 400 million, at least two-thirds of the buyers in the hall stopped bidding and sat there shaking their heads with bitter smiles, looking depressed. The other third of the buyers were those who had more money. These buyers were competing against each other without giving in to each other, pushing the price of the Battle-Lion Elephant Battle Bead up by ten million by ten million.

Not long after, a round-faced fat guy sitting on the left of the front row shouted out a price of "500 million", and a majority of the buyers withdrew their bids. Out of the several hundred people present, only seven or eight were still stuck, and these few people seemed to be determined to win.

Everyone understood that the auction was reaching its final phase. The remaining buyers were all competing on who had more courage and wealth!

"510 million!"

After the round-faced fatty shouted "500 million", a tall skinny man sitting in a row behind him immediately raised the price by 10 million.

"550 million!"

The round-faced fatty directly increased the price by 40 million, then turned his head to look at the skinny tall man, a mocking and ridiculing smile appearing on his face, as if saying: "I, your father, have plenty of money, and want to compete with me? Can you do it? "

The skinny, tall man's face reddened. He hesitated for a moment before clenching his teeth and shouting, "560 million!" He returned a smug smile to Fatty Yuan.

"Six hundred million!"

The round-faced fatty raised the number plate high up in the air. The two words, "six hundred million", were spoken in a loud voice, as if wanting everyone present to hear it.

Six hundred million! This was already equal to the record of "Hong Li Auction House", so when he said this, everyone was shocked. Hundreds of envious and envious gazes instantly gathered on the round-faced fatty. The place was completely silent, not a single person made a sound.

"Junior Apprentice Brother, I nearly got 600 million. Congratulations!" Xia Huo giggled as he softly spoke.

"Same to you!" Same to you! " Ye Qingdi was so excited that his heart was beating wildly. The price of six hundred million was far beyond his imagination.

"Number 188, six hundred million!" Number 188, six hundred million! Is there anyone willing to offer a higher price? Did you? Ladies and gentlemen, this 50 year old Lion Elephant Battle Bead has just been brought back from the Beast Battling Star by a few warriors. I believe that you all have already seen it on the display screen just now. "Buying such a combat bead would give you a lot of room to increase your strength. Swallowing a martial artist's strength would greatly increase it, pushing the ranks of the strong …"

The beautiful auctioneer on the stage fully displayed her expertise and constantly spoke words of seduction and impact in an attempt to stir up the mood of the buyers, allowing them to continue raising the price. One must know that the higher the price of the Battle Beads, the better not only would it benefit the buyers, but their auction house would also be able to reap a greater profit.

However, the price of six hundred million seemed to have reached its limit. Even though the beautiful auctioneer was eloquent, no one from the audience responded.

The round faced fatty looked at the small wooden hammer in the beautiful auctioneer's hand with his small eyes, hoping that it would fall down quickly. He did not want anyone to come out and cause trouble for him.

The Beautiful Auction House auctioneer's gaze swept across the hall. She inwardly sighed and raised the small wooden hammer in her hand high up in the air.

"Number 188 offers six hundred million!" Six hundred million going once … "Six hundred million times …"

Everyone knew that after the beautiful auctioneer shouted "six hundred million three times", her wrist descended and with a single punch, the round faced fatty would be the owner of that fifty year old lion elephant war pearl. At that time, even if someone were to bid six billion, sixty billion, there would be no chance of success.

"610 million!"

Just as the beautiful auctioneer on the stage was about to shout out the last four words, a vigorous and powerful voice suddenly sounded out.

Ha, another person made a bid. This time, there's going to be a good show to see!

Hundreds of people turned their heads to look towards the source of the voice. The round-faced fatty was also stunned, revealing an expression of pain from his teeth. He followed everyone's gaze and looked behind them.

The voice came from an old man in his seventies who was sitting in a southwest corner. He had a ruddy complexion, gray hair, was wearing a loose white shirt and black pants, wore a pair of expensive gold-framed reading glasses, and was holding a golden cane. He was sitting there with a golden cane in his hand.

The old man exuded an air of superiority for a long time. Of the several hundred people in the auction hall, which one of them did not have eyes? They all thought that this person was definitely not a normal person.

Around the old man sat eight middle-aged men and women who were over forty years old. Although their clothes were very ordinary, they were all custom-made and it was obvious that they came from the same group.

Seeing hundreds of eyes looking at them from all around, the eight middle-aged men and women became even more alert. Their 16 hawk-like eyes suddenly lit up, forcibly turning their gazes back on them one by one.

What a strong aura!

Ye Qingdi and Xia Bingchuan simultaneously felt the eight powerful auras coming from the eight middle-aged men and women. The three of them glanced over, feeling both surprised and shocked at the same time.

Four Parasite Warriors, two Full Moon Warriors, two Morning Sun Warriors... Just what kind of grand character was that old man? He actually had eight powerful martial artists protecting him?

With such a luxurious bodyguard lineup, even if they encountered the strongest Fierce Sun Fighters in the federation, they would still be able to deal with them easily.

Ye Qingdi knew that when Duanmu Rong left the sect, she would have four bodyguards with her that were of considerable strength. However, compared to the eight bodyguards in front of her, those four bodyguards were nothing. Could it be that this old man's identity was much stronger than the 'Weak Water Group' '' s Duanmu Rong?

"Senior apprentice-brother Xia Huo, what are you looking at?"

Ye Qingdi suddenly realized that Xia Huo's gaze was fixated on the old man and his own face. He couldn't help but ask.

"Youngest junior brother, I feel that you and that old man look a little similar … "No, not at all, at least five points!"

"Oh?" Ye Qingdi could not help but look at the old man a few more times, and touched his own face, and laughed: "It is indeed similar! We all have two eyes, a nose, a mouth. "Haha, Senior Brother Xia Huo, the two of us are very similar!"

"I mean it! If you and that old man were to walk together, I think a lot of people would think that you two are grandfather-grandson pair! "

"Grandson and grandson?" I don't even know who gave birth to her, where did her grandfather come from? However, with a single glance, I can tell that this old man is a rich and powerful person. It's not bad to have such a grandfather … "

Xia Huo knew about Ye Qingdi's background from his teacher, Shi Tianji. He knew that Ye Qingdi had grown up in an orphan's orphanage and jokingly said, "Maybe you really are his grandson? "You lost your life when you were young and ended up in an orphanage. They have been trying to find you all these years …"

"Tsk, I can't be bothered with you!" Ye Qingdi rolled his eyes at Xia Huo and turned his head to look at the auction stage.

With the appearance of the white-robed old man, the originally calm auction hall became lively once again. "Buzz buzz" rang incessantly, and everyone began to discuss who the elder with the extraordinary presence was in a low voice. Whether or not he could become the dark horse of the auction tonight and snatch the fifty year old Battle Pearl from the round faced fatty's hands.

Just when he was secretly happy, he did not expect the white-robed old man to suddenly increase the bid by 10 million, which made him extremely angry and anxious. When he looked at the old man, his eyes were filled with anger and hatred, but when he met the gazes of the bodyguards beside the old man, he was so scared that he quickly turned his head around.

When the bidding price for the Battle Bead reached six hundred million, the beautiful auctioneer on the stage was already extremely excited. When the bidding price for the Battle Bead reached six hundred million, the beautiful auctioneer on the stage was extremely excited, this price was already the same as the auction price set by one of her peers five years ago. She had originally hoped that someone would come to set a new auction price record, so she didn't mind wasting her breath to promote the Lion Elephant Battle Bead. However, none of the hundreds of buyers responded, making her feel helpless.

"Number 239, 610 million!" 610 million! Has anyone raised the price? Is there anyone willing to increase the price? "

There was a trace of regret in the auction of beauties. Just as she was about to stop, someone suddenly raised the bid. That vigorous and powerful voice rang in her ears. It was like the sound of nature itself, making her so excited that her voice trembled.

"620 million!"

The round-faced fatty clenched his teeth and raised his sign as he spoke loudly. Countless pairs of eyes were watching him. At this point, even if it was just for face, he had already decided to go all out. He thought to himself, "This daddy has prepared seven hundred million, let's see who can last one last time!" At the same time, he had a bit of a fantasy in his mind that if he raised the price a little more, the damn old man would back down.

"650 million!"

Without waiting for the Beautiful Beauty auctioneer to speak, white-robed old man had already raised the price.

His expression was calm and his tone was flat. Such a large sum of money was already an astronomical figure in the eyes of ordinary people, but when it came out of his mouth, it was as if he had casually tossed out a few dollars.

He raised the bid by 30 million... Damn, is this old man crazy?

The round face fatty's face was flushed red. The hand holding the tablet began to tremble. It was not bad that he had prepared 700 million, but this 700 million was already all he had. Could it be that he was going to spend it all today?

The round-faced fatty felt his throat become dry, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty. He saw the beautiful auctioneer on the stage blinking her large eyes at him, and smiled with encouragement. His spirits were lifted, and he straightened his back, raising his sign: "660 million …" Sixty million! "

The moment he said that, the hundreds of buyers, including the beautiful auctioneer, all looked towards white-robed old man to see if he would continue bidding. Everyone knew that the competition for this fifty year battle bead was only between the two of them today.

white-robed old man smiled and raised his badge: "Seven hundred million!"

Seven hundred million!

white-robed old man's understatement of these two words was no different than a bomb that was thrown into the auction hall, causing an uproar.

700 million … So much money! In the entire federation, it was rare to see someone who could afford such a large sum and bid for a 50 year old Battlefield Bead. This old man was too damn rich! Who the hell is he? Did someone come out to gossip?

The hundreds of people in the auction hall all looked at each other, whispering to each other as they tried to guess the identity of the white-robed old man.

The round-faced fatty's face was ashen, as if all the strength in his body had been sucked out of him. He slumped onto the chair, not saying a word.

Seeing him like this, the experienced beautiful auctioneer knew that the price of "700 million" had already broken the limit in his heart. It was impossible for him to raise the price any further. Even so, the auction that he hosted had already set a record for the price of a single Battle-Jewel Auction! This record was a full 100 million higher than the previous record. It should be able to be maintained for a long period of time, right?

The beautiful auctioneer was elated, the smile on her face became even more radiant, she raised her small wooden hammer once again, her eyes sweeping across the audience, and said: "No. 239, bid 700 million! No one raised the bid! Did you? 700 million going once … Seven hundred million times … "

Everyone below the stage was quiet, they knew that unless someone went crazy, there would never be a situation where they raised their bid again. And looking at the white-robed old man, he seemed to have some sort of intent to win this battle bead, if someone really jumped out to compete with him, he would definitely retaliate.

"Seven hundred million three times!" "Deal!"

"BOOM!"

As the wooden hammer fell, the auction ended.

After the hundreds of buyers dispersed from the auction hall on the second floor, white-robed old man left with a crowd of eight bodyguards. Ye Qingdi, Xia Bing and Xia Huo finally walked out of the auction hall and went to the third floor to complete the relevant procedures.

After signing his name on a document, a sum of money was immediately transferred into the account provided by Ye Qingdi. Out of the 700 million from the battle beads auction, the auction house had taken 1%. Adding the 10% tax that they had to pay, they still had 623 million.

Looking at the long list of numbers displayed on the computer screen, Ye Qingdi suddenly understood something.

His goal in life had been to have a good house, a good car, a beautiful wife, and a nice son in the future. To do this, he thought, he would have enough money in his pocket to have a few million dollars. He had never dared to dream about more, but now that he had hundreds of millions of dollars in his pockets in one night, his goal was infinitely close!

"Youngest junior brother, everything has been completed. Can we leave now?" Seeing Ye Qingdi in a daze, Xia Huo patted his shoulder and said with a smile.

"Yes." "Let's go …"

The three of them slowly walked out of the first floor lobby of the auction house and found that the hundreds of buyers were almost all gone. What made them curious was that not only did the number of security guards inside and out of the auction house not decrease, but instead they increased a lot.

"My two senior brothers, you must all have bank accounts right? "Give me one …" Ye Qingdi suddenly asked.

"What's wrong? Youngest junior brother wants our account … Could it be that you want to give each of us a sum of money? " Xia Huo smiled as if he had seen through Ye Qingdi's thoughts.

"There is no shortage of money. "No need." Xia Bing said coldly. The members of the Buddhist Sect were all over the Federation. As a disciple of Shi Tianji, Xia Bing and Xia Huo looked after them wherever they went. Indeed, they didn't need to worry about money.

Ye Qingdi said, "It's all thanks to the two of you for guiding me in the sale of the Pearl of War. Even if you don't have any merits, you should still have some hard work to do! "Hehe, since I've already earned a lot, I'll give each of you a hundred million to pay for it!"

"100 million?" Xia Huo sucked in a breath of cold air and said with a wry smile, "Junior Brother, do you think that the money is as white as paper? A hundred million … To think that it would mean... You're really generous! "

Xia Bing was also moved, she shook her head and said in a deep voice: "No."

Ye Qingdi said, "I'll give each of you one hundred million yuan. I still have a lot of money left. Besides, I'm still young, so I can earn more after spending it! "Bring it here, your account …"

Xia Huo shook his head and said, "Forget it! We'll take your money. If his teacher were to find out, he would definitely skin us alive! Ha, little junior brother, if we lack money, we will naturally take it from your senior sister Xia! She's the real rich woman, and in her eyes your several hundred million is a piece of cake! "

Suddenly, they sensed a few auras coming from behind them. Turning around, they saw the white-robed old man, who was escorted by eight bodyguards, walking out of the hall while holding a small glass box in his hand. The green object that was shining with light was the lion elephant battle pearl that Ye Qingdi had sold.

"Youngest junior brother, do you know who he is?" Xia Huo pulled Ye Qingdi and Xia Bing to the side of the gate, opening up a path for the group of white-robed old man s.

"Who is it? I asked you a moment ago, did you know that? " Ye Qingdi would always look at himself in the mirror when he went out everyday, and when he saw the outline of the white-robed old man clearly, he felt that it was indeed similar to the him in the mirror.

"If I'm not wrong, he is Ye Zong …" Lordmaster Ye! "

"Ye Zong? is that Ye Zong who single-handedly created the Ye Clan's Heavy Industry? "

"Yes!"
