Chapter 89 Slapping the Staff
"Thank you, brother. I have three spiritual roots, and this wand happens to be a five-element wand..."
Su Yingying sat on Xie Xing's lap, her arms wrapped around his neck, and pleaded with him in a coquettish manner.
Ever since Long Aotian disappeared that day, Xie Xing had been thinking of cutting ties with Su Yingying completely after breaking off his engagement with the Jiang family.
Su Yingying was beautiful and had a great figure. Xie Xing, who had been strictly disciplined since childhood, had never experienced such a thing.
Knowing that Xie Xing was becoming distant, Su Yingying deliberately dressed lightly and came to find him late at night several times.
With a beautiful woman by his side, Xie Xing simply couldn't remain unmoved.
One person deliberately tempted, while the other lacked resolve.
Over time, the two of them started hanging out together.
Xie Xing held Su Yingying in his arms, listened to her request, and quickly took the electronic screen to start making a bid.
"Box No. 4, two million Star Coins."
Xie Xing was in VIP room number four. This staff was still a flawed product. If it were him, he wouldn't even look at it. Spending two million to please Su Yingying was nothing compared to this small amount of money.
As Su Yingying listened to Xie Xing's offer, she moved closer to his face in a flattering manner.
"A bid has been placed for VIP room number four: two million star coins. Girl, someone's going to be competing with you."
Zhang San listened to the voice and seemed somewhat hesitant.
Why is everyone scrambling for this flawed staff? He remembered that the staff's description said it might cause spellcasting to lag, and although it was a mid-grade item, its quality was indeed not very good.
After Xie Xing started raising the price, the private rooms on the second floor lost interest in the flawed staff, while people on the first floor gradually began to raise their prices.
"Two million two hundred thousand star coins."
"Three million star coins."
……
Jiang He frowned as she watched more and more people raise their prices.
Many people immediately recognized it as a mid-grade staff, the same rank as the previous staffs.
Those unfamiliar with the matter might think that, despite being of medium quality, this staff is much cheaper than the previous ones, and many people, hoping to find a bargain, start raising their prices.
More and more people got involved, and the price quickly rose to five million Star Coins.
Jiang He calmly typed the amount she wanted to bid on the screen.
"Ten million star coins."
A servant called out from the door of Jiang He's private room number 38, and everyone glanced in that direction.
"Ten million star coins, should we add more or not? It feels like we're losing out."
"This price is definitely a loss. Didn't we already say it was a defective item? And the starting price of one million is already there. Even if the final price is higher, it will only be a few staffs. If we add any more money, we will definitely lose money."
"How come there are still two people in the private rooms on the second floor competing for this broken staff?"
"Who knows? Maybe someone has the money to buy it and play with it."
Su Yingying stared wide-eyed at Xie Xing. She had never been to a black market auction before. When she was with Long Aotian, she would receive hundreds of thousands of star coins from him every month, but that was too little. Su Yingying was not satisfied with that kind of life.
Xie Xing was interested in Long Aotian, so she told him everything about him in detail.
It was only when Xie Xing brought her to the black market that she realized there were so many expensive resources.
Now they've finally managed to find a powerful patron.
She couldn't bear to let go of Brother Xie, who was both handsome and rich. As for the staff she had her eye on, she was sure Brother Xie would spend money on it if she just asked, since he had already spent a million on her before.
Su Yingying said to Xie Xing in a coquettish tone:
"Brother Xie, this staff has already been offered for ten million star coins."
Xie Xing glanced at Su Yingying, somewhat displeased. Ten million star coins were far beyond his estimate of the staff's value. He hesitated for a moment before speaking:
"Eleven million star coins."
Box 4 made another bid. Eleven million star coins was still acceptable to Jiang He, but there were far fewer people bidding now, and only Box 4 was still bidding.
Jiang He wasn't in a hurry; she slowly entered the numbers.
"11,010,000 Star Coins".
Liu Hong read aloud the price Jiang He had given her.
Upon hearing this, Su Yingying stood up abruptly.
"Why are these people in booth number 38 going against us? They only added 10,000 yuan, are they trying to fob us off like beggars?!"
Su Yingying looked at the window of VIP room 38, feeling a little angry. She was about to take a picture, but the people in VIP room 38 insisted on interfering.
Su Yingying was making a lot of noise on the side. This time, Xie Xing didn't continue to bid. He looked at Su Yingying. He had already spent a million on this woman. Spending another ten million seemed like too much.
Xie Xing thought about how he still needed to prepare a birthday gift for Shangguan Ningxue, and after hesitating for a while, he decided he didn't want to spend a single penny.
"It's just a flawed staff, give it to her."
"But……"
Su Yingying really wanted it; she looked at Xie Xing with tears welling up in her eyes.
Xie Xing feigned a soothing expression, but thinking of Shangguan Ningxue and then of the person before him, he felt a growing annoyance.
"I'll go to the black market another day and get a Three Elements Staff; it'll only cost ten million."
After hearing Xie Xing's words, Su Yingying calmed down.
After making a grand promise, Xie Xing stopped bidding.
The staff naturally fell into Jiang He's hands.
As soon as the bidding for this item ended, the servant standing at the door brought in the staff. Only when Jiang He actually saw the staff did her heart finally settle down.
She had prepared 30 million for this trip, and there was still some left over.
Jiang He thought to herself.
But when the next item was brought up for auction, Jiang He's heart began to race again.
A low-grade, third-level alchemy furnace sat steadily on the stage, and the starting bid was still one million star coins.
Jiang He was deeply moved.
Regarding alchemy talent, generally speaking, about half of the students at Beihuai No.1 Middle School with fire spirit roots will choose alchemy as their major.
Among sword cultivators, the power of fire spiritual roots is not as great as that of metal spiritual roots. However, alchemy is different. Possessing a fire spiritual root is equivalent to stepping into the ranks of alchemists.
Jiang He is not worried about her talent. As long as she has the fire spirit root, no matter how bad her talent is, Jiang He will go all the way on this path.
She had been thinking for a long time but had not found a suitable alchemy furnace. Now, seeing the exquisite alchemy furnace on the stage, Jiang He was very excited.
There weren't many alchemists on the field; excluding Jiang He, there were only three in total.
But all three of them had their eyes on this alchemy furnace.
The price quickly jumped from one million Star Coins to twenty million.
"Girl, this alchemist is really rich. So many people are fighting over his low-grade alchemy furnace."
Zhang San couldn't help but click his tongue as he watched the prices soar.
Jiang He remained silent. She had just added another million when the price was 19 million, but that million seemed like a drop in the ocean to the people in the three private rooms.
Seeing the price continue to soar to 30 million, Jiang He's heart sank completely.
