Female Transformation: I Run Away When I See the Female Lead
Chapter 33 The Princes Arrive
Jiang Yunjiu looked calm: "Since we are here, let's make the best of it."
The two followed the crowd and walked towards the auction table.
There were two waiters in gorgeous clothes near the auction table. When they saw someone coming, they bowed slightly with professional smiles on their faces.
Entering the private room, the interior was decorated with the utmost luxury. The soft carpet seemed to support one's footsteps like a cloud, and each table was filled with exquisite snacks and fruits, exuding an alluring aroma.
Directly in front of him was a huge auction platform, which was now covered by a layer of light blue formation. The light of the formation was flowing and flickering, making it difficult to see what was going on inside.
Bai Jin and Jiang Yunjiu sat down in a seat near the front. Bai Jin leaned back lazily, while Jiang Yunjiu elegantly took a sip of tea. The people around them were excitedly discussing the upcoming auction.
"I heard that there will be a fairy-level magic weapon at this auction, but alas, I don't have the money to buy it." A short man's eyes were shining, his hands kept gesturing, his face full of longing and helplessness.
His short body leaned forward slightly, and he stood on tiptoe as if trying to see further, the light in his eyes flickering. "If I could get that immortal-level magic weapon, I would be able to walk sideways in the Zuo Realm in the future. What a pity, what a pity, I can only watch others compete."
"I am actually interested in Master Wu Liu's pills. If I can get one, my strength will definitely increase greatly, or I may even save my life." An old man in a black robe said, stroking his beard.
The old man had a thin face, but his eyes were exceptionally sharp. He stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was already imagining the scene of his strength increasing after obtaining the elixir. "Master Wu Liu's elixir has always been in high demand. It will appear at this auction, so there will definitely be fierce competition."
"Stop dreaming. With your abilities, it would be good enough if you could capture some ordinary treasures." A young man in gorgeous clothes snorted disdainfully.
The young man held a folding fan in his hand, gently waving it, a disdainful smile on his face, his eyes revealing a condescending attitude. "Such a precious item, do you really want it? I brought enough money this time, so I am the most promising bidder."
Bai Jin listened to the discussions of the people below and became even more excited about the auction. His fingers tapped lightly on the table, and his eyes sparkled with excitement.
At this moment, the formation on the auction table slowly turned transparent, and an elegant auctioneer walked onto the stage. She was wearing a long red dress with intricate embroidery on the hem. She had a sweet smile on her face, and every gesture exuded a unique charm.
She raised her hand slightly, signaling for silence, then cleared her throat and said, "Dear guests, welcome to this auction. Today, we have prepared many rare treasures for you, and I believe you will not be disappointed. Now, the auction officially begins!"
As the auctioneer finished speaking, there was a burst of warm applause from the audience, and the auction officially began.
The first item was carefully brought up by the waiter, and the auctioneer gently lifted the red cloth, revealing the treasure inside, which was a sword shining with cold light.
"This sword is called the 'Cold Star Sword'. It is made of thousand-year-old cold iron. It is extremely sharp and can cut iron like mud. The starting price is 10,000 spirit stones, and each increase in price must not be less than 500 spirit stones." The auctioneer introduced.
The people in the audience immediately began bidding, "Ten thousand five hundred spirit stones." "Eleven thousand spirit stones." "Twelve thousand spirit stones." The price continued to rise. Bai Jin was not very interested in the sword, and just watched others bidding with interest.
Then, the second and third items came on the stage one after another. There were precious medicinal herbs and defensive magic weapons, and each one aroused fierce competition among people.
At this time, the auctioneer smiled mysteriously: "Next, it is the treasure that everyone has been waiting for."
As she spoke, an exquisite jade box was brought up. The auctioneer carefully held the box in both hands and walked gracefully to the center of the auction table. She gently placed the jade box on the display stand and slowly opened it. Inside was a pill emitting a faint glow.
"This is a 'Breakthrough Pill,' which can help practitioners break through bottlenecks and improve their cultivation. It was refined by Master Wu Liu." The auctioneer's voice was clear and pleasant, echoing throughout the venue. "The starting price is 100,000 spirit stones. Each bid must be no less than 10,000 spirit stones."
The entire venue erupted in excitement. Countless pairs of eyes stared intently at the pill, their eyes gleaming with desire and greed. Bidding rang out one after another, "110,000!" "120,000!" "150,000!"
Bai Jin discovered that apart from his own, the only person who had a similar elixir to his was the male protagonist. Unfortunately, a replica was ultimately just a replica.
He crossed his arms over his chest, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a disdainful smile.
Some alchemists had seen Master Wu Liu's real elixir. They stood in the crowd, frowning and muttering to themselves, "That's impossible! How could it be different from what we saw before? Could that be Master Wu Liu's most brilliant creation?"
They whispered among themselves, beginning to doubt the pill's authenticity. The buzz of discussion in the venue added a touch of hesitation to the already lively bidding atmosphere.
Bai Jin was tempted to see that fake pills could be sold at such a high price, because he was too poor and had given all his belongings to Jiang Yunjiu. Now he only had pills that he had recently refined.
His eyes focused, and he planned to auction off his own elixir. This was a rare opportunity to make a lot of money.
Just as Bai Jin was thinking, someone in another private room shouted "three hundred thousand".
This voice was full of energy and a bit arrogant, and it sounded very familiar to Bai Jin.
Subconsciously, he looked in the direction of the voice. It turned out to be Bai Chenye, the man who had sent someone to assassinate him. Bai Jin had never expected him to come here.
Bai Chenye felt someone was staring at him, so he turned around and saw a strange face looking at him.
His eyes instantly showed a strong murderous intent, which he cast over without any concealment. Fortunately, Bai Jin had disguised himself with Jiang Yunjiu before entering, so Bai Chenye would not recognize him anyway.
Facing Bai Chenye's murderous gaze, Bai Jin completely ignored it, only a hint of mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He snorted in his heart: Humph, what a joke, that's all you can do.
"That was the Fourth Prince's voice just now. Who dares to raise the price? Are they trying to kill themselves?" Someone in the crowd below was whispering, with fear and panic in his voice.
They whispered to each other, glancing towards the private room where Bai Chenye was from time to time, for fear of being noticed by the royal family member.
No one dared to go against the royal family. For a moment, the auction venue fell into a brief silence, and the air seemed to be frozen.
But the person in another private room shouted "Four hundred thousand" in a lazy and nonchalant tone, as if four hundred thousand was just a small amount of money in his hand.
"Who is this person? He dares to offend the royal family so blatantly." Someone couldn't help but mutter to himself out of curiosity.
"Speak less, that private room belongs to the Second Prince," the person next to him quickly covered his mouth and warned in a low voice.
"Oh my god, is the prince here too? All the royal family members are here. We can't afford to offend them." People looked embarrassed. They were greedy for the treasures, but also afraid of the majesty of the royal family.
Another private room also shouted out "five hundred thousand", and it was the prince.
Bai Chenye was so angry that he raised the price and shouted "600,000"
The three of them kept shouting and adding more prices, the price soared, and the atmosphere became more and more tense and intense.
"The royal family is truly wealthy. Raising the price is as easy as drinking water for them," someone in the audience couldn't help but exclaim, their eyes filled with envy and wonder. The people around them chimed in, whispering about this unusual auction, made more so by the royal family's involvement.
Bai Jin looked at the scene and had his own thoughts in mind. He turned to look at Jiang Yunjiu beside him and said softly, "Yunjiu, I have to go out for a while. I have something to do. Please wait here for me."
Jiang Yunjiu nodded slightly, with a hint of inquiry in her eyes, but she didn't ask any more questions.
Bai Jin stood up and left the private room, then walked towards the trading venue of the auction.
