BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM

Chapter 274: Nine Poison Auction House!

Chapter 274: Nine Poison Auction House!

As the crisp voice fell, the crowd in the auction house looked in the direction from which the sound came.

"Who is this person? How dare they snatch things with Li Shan? Aren't they afraid of not being able to leave this dark port?"

"Daring to challenge Li Shan, this person's background must be significant."

...

Looking at the figure hiding under the wide black robe, the auction house immediately erupted into a noisy discussion.

On the other side, the formidable Dou Spirit expert Li Shan also appeared somewhat surprised.

"Who are you, haven't you heard of my name, Li Shan?" Li Shan directly shouted at the little doctor fairy.

"I have no interest in who you are. If you're too poor, please don't embarrass yourself here," the black-robed figure retorted bluntly to Li Shan's inquiry.

"Haha!"

Being rebuffed by the black-robed figure, Li Shan, infuriated, chuckled, "You've got guts. Today, I, Li Shan, will give Nine Poison Auction House some face and won't argue with you for now."

The owner of the Nine Poison Auction House, Scorpion Nine, is said to be a Nine Star Dou Spirit expert. Therefore, out of consideration for Scorpion Nine's face, Li Shan refrained from directly acting in the auction house.

"Somebody has already bid up to a hundred thousand gold coins. Is there anyone else willing to bid higher?"

Seeing no movement from Li Shan's side, the old man on the auction stage began the final inquiry according to the normal procedure.

A crackling demon flower, priced at one hundred thousand gold coins, neither too high nor too low, especially since this thing might still be related to Li Shan. So, under the old man's inquiry, no one else chose to bid again.

As for Li Shan, he had only intended to use his name to scare off some people and acquire the cracked demon flower at a low price. Now that its price had been raised, Li Shan naturally lost interest.

Soon, with the old man's gavel, the cracked demon flower was successfully taken down by the black-robed figure.

After that, the white-haired old man quickly brought out the second auction item of this auction.

"The second auction item, a fourth-rank poison, Snake Vine, starting at eighty thousand gold coins."

After the old man stated the starting price, intense bidding voices erupted once again in the audience.

In no time, the Snake Vine was pushed to a high price of one hundred and ten thousand gold coins.

Just when everyone thought that was the final price, the black-robed figure who had just bought the cracked demon flower made another move.

"One hundred and thirty thousand gold coins!"

The clear voice of the black-robed figure resounded through the auction house.

Her bid already surpassed the value of the Snake Vine itself by a lot.

"Tsk tsk, one hundred and thirty thousand gold coins for a Snake Vine, this person is really generous."

"Perhaps he just happens to need this kind of poison."

"I bid one hundred and fifty thousand gold coins!"

Amidst the evaluations of the black-robed figure, Li Shan added thirty thousand gold coins to the black-robed figure's price.

After placing the bid, Li Shan looked smugly in the direction of the black-robed figure.

Facing Li Shan's provocation, the black-robed figure showed no reaction but continued to add another three thousand gold coins. Now, the price of the Snake Vine had directly reached one hundred and eighty thousand gold coins.

After raising the price, the black-robed figure directly said to Li Shan, "If you have the ability, bid higher. I won't want this Snake Vine anymore!"

Hearing the black-robed figure's words, the expression on Li Shan's face stiffened.

When the price was only at one hundred and ten thousand gold coins, Li Shan had no intention of bidding, he only deliberately raised the price to disrupt things when he saw the black-robed figure showing a strong desire to buy. Now, with the black-robed figure saying it in front of so many people, he felt somewhat trapped.

"Two hundred thousand gold coins!"

After some internal struggle, for the sake of his face, Li Shan shouted a price close to three times the market value of the Snake Vine.

"Very well, you win!"

After Li Shan bid two hundred thousand gold coins, the black-robed figure decisively gave up on the Snake Vine.

However, although the black-robed figure gave up the Snake Vine, during the subsequent auction process, the financial power displayed by this black-robed figure made everyone envy.

Almost every auction item was bought by this black-robed figure at a price twenty thousand gold coins higher than the final bid, and when bidding, there was never any hesitation.

As these items were all bought by the black-robed figure, the gaze of the crowd towards the black-robed figure gradually turned sour.

Especially Li Shan, who had long been planning for what to do after leaving the auction house.

At this point, the auction process gradually came to an end, and the old man on the auction stage brought out the last auction item.

...

"The highlight item for today, a fourth-rank venomous creature, the Three-Eyed Sand Spider."

As the old man's words fell, a football-sized iron cage appeared on the circular stone platform. Inside the cage, a yellow spider the size of an adult's palm with three eyes came into view.

After this Three-Eyed Sand Spider was brought out, many people in the audience showed keen interest.

"You all should be very clear about the value of this Three-Eyed Sand Spider!"

"Its venom is feared even by Dou King experts. If an ordinary Dou Spirit expert comes into contact with it and doesn't detoxify within three hours..."

On the auction stage, the white-haired old man excitedly introduced the Three-Eyed Sand Spider.

Meanwhile, the audience below was already buzzing.

"Everyone, the starting bid for this Three-Eyed Sand Spider is four hundred thousand..."

Just as the old man was about to announce the starting bid, a sudden voice abruptly interrupted him.

"One million gold coins, I'll take this Three-Eyed Sand Spider!"

This sudden voice was familiar to many in the auction house.

"It's the black-robed person again!"

"One million gold coins, what a hefty sum!"

"This is almost equivalent to several years of income for the major families in the city."

"This mysterious friend bids one million gold coins. Is there anyone else willing to bid higher?" Amidst the astonishment of the crowd, the old man on the stage asked with a slightly excited tone.

Upon hearing the old man's inquiry, many people felt they were unable to match the price with their means.

While some could afford the one million gold coins, it seemed unworthy to spend such a sum for a Three-Eyed Sand Spider.

Although the Three-Eyed Sand Spider contained potent venom, it would only be useful if it managed to hit its target. Otherwise, its potency would be useless.

"Is there anyone else willing to bid higher?"

After the third time, there was still no one who added a bid.

However, just as the white-haired old man was about to strike the gavel, a commotion suddenly erupted at the entrance of the auction house, and several powerful auras emanated from there.

"People from the Four Great Families of Rumi City!"

"The Ma Family, Ma Dayuan! The Hou Family, Hou Yunfeng! The Wang Family, Wang Jing!"

"These three leading figures are all Dou King experts!"

As the black-robed figure saw the figures appearing at the entrance, he hurriedly urged the white-haired old man, "Since no one else is bidding, hurry up and give me the Three-Eyed Sand Spider!"
