The Emperor's Domineering Favor, the Evil Consort's Unparalleled Reign
Chapter 18 Price Gouging
As Ying Li was speaking with the alluring man, a cheer suddenly erupted in the hall.
Ying Li was startled and turned to look outside. He saw a charming woman wearing a fiery red bodysuit with a very low neckline, her large breasts swaying with each step. The woman had a soft, seductive smile on her face, and her delicate makeup concealed a pair of tender, watery eyes. Even Ying Li was stunned by her beauty.
This woman is truly beautiful!
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the third and final day of the auction hosted by Linshui Pawnshop. We had planned to continue the auction tomorrow, but unfortunately, the demand has been too high these past two days, and all the goods in the pawnshop's inventory have been sold out. We have no choice but to put all the goods aside today. Heroes and champions from all walks of life, our pawnshop's most requested item, the Spirit Gathering Grass, will be the first item up for auction!"
The moment the woman spoke, the crowd in the hall was instantly ignited with enthusiasm. A highly sought-after item, a sexy and alluring woman—it would be abnormal not to be excited!
However, Ying Li was too young to have anticipated what would happen next. The moment the woman dragged the Spirit Gathering Grass out, a bright red light appeared in the hall, and the two Spirit Gathering Grasses emitted pure spiritual energy. The hall erupted in another earth-shaking uproar!
The woman placed the Spirit Gathering Grass on the high platform in the center of the hall, then smiled slightly at everyone and waved her right hand, and a thick, fiery red barrier covered the Spirit Gathering Grass!
"Seventh level of Divine Cultivation!" Ying Li exclaimed. His third uncle was only at the sixth level of Divine Cultivation, but the spiritual energy on this woman was so dense that she was at least at the seventh level of Divine Cultivation. It seemed that this woman was a formidable character!
A fiery red barrier covered the Spirit Gathering Grass, making it seem as if the grass inside had vanished. The crowd erupted in commotion, unsure of what to do.
"We'll make our move at the very end," the alluring man said casually, then stared at the woman who had just stepped down from the stage. The woman wore a polite smile and stood in the hall, thoughtfully watching Ying Li in the seventh room.
The Devouring Python's inner core has actually fallen into the hands of a little girl. It seems it's time to stir up some trouble in the Spirit Realm Continent. There are quite a few rising stars lately.
"Five thousand taels of gold!" The man in room number six, sitting next to Ying Li, roared domineeringly, suppressing a quarter of the noise in the hall.
After two days of auctions, some people have probably already spent most of their silver. Now that the Spirit Gathering Grass has appeared and this person has promoted it so highly, it would be difficult to save face without spending tens of thousands of taels of silver. As a result, the number of people who can come up with tens of thousands of taels of silver will be very small.
"Ten thousand taels!" Another sharp shout rang out in the hall. Ying Li looked incredulously at the short, wiry man sitting in the center of the hall, who seemed to be very wealthy. He was shocked, not expecting that there would be someone in the hall who would offer such a high price.
"Twenty thousand taels!" the man in room number six retorted defiantly.
"I'll offer fifty thousand taels!" The man in the hall was driven to desperation. He had turned down all his business to come to Linshui City just for these two Spirit Gathering Grasses. If he could obtain these divine herbs, his status in the family would surely rise day by day. How could he let someone else snatch such a great opportunity away!
Unfortunately, the man in room number six also had a particular fondness for the Spirit Gathering Grass. "One hundred thousand taels!"
The moment those words were spoken, the hall fell into a deathly silence.
The short, stocky man's neck veins bulged, and cold sweat poured down his face. He only had 50,000 taels of silver. He had thought that by placing his bet early, he could gain the upper hand and drive the price up to the highest possible level, thus eliminating any unrelated individuals. He hadn't expected the buyer on the second floor to be so extravagant. Regardless of whether the Spirit Gathering Grass was worth 100,000 taels, he couldn't compete with the other party's ability to throw money around.
He sat sullenly in his chair, drinking alone, when a faint, triumphant laugh drifted from room number six.
The woman in red smiled, thinking to herself that good things really do sell quickly. "The guest in the top-tier room has offered 100,000 taels. Is there anyone else willing to raise the price?!" After saying that, she glanced at Ying Li, a sly glint in her eyes.
Ying Li gripped the inner core in his hand, about to step forward, when he suddenly heard a burst of laughter from the center of the hall. The person laughed twice, and after a while, shouted, "Two hundred thousand!"
