On the central round platform, under the watchful eyes of everyone present, Ye Jian examined the Space Rings in his hands one by one. At a certain moment, he suddenly stopped and looked towards the Proprietress.
Although he had concealed it well, everyone present could see the joy in his eyes.
Previously at the auction, the auction between the room A-3 and B-2 was still fresh in their minds, so when they saw Ye Jian’s actions, many people immediately understood that the First Inn must have taken out the Heavenly Yuan Positive Seal Pill they had won.
This was exactly what Ye Jian wanted. Ye Jian’s interest in the Heavenly Yuan Positive Seal Pill was quite deep, and with this pill, he was truly moved. For a time, many of the bidders secretly regretted their decision. If they had known this would happen, they would have fought for the Heavenly Yuan Positive Seal Pill no matter what. With this pill, they might have been able to obtain a Seventh Grade resource.
The old man from the Red Clouds Auction couldn’t help smiling bitterly. The one who regretted the most was none other than the Red Clouds Auction. They had taken out the Heavenly Yuan Positive Seal Pill to auction, but now the First Inn was using it as a bargaining chip to compete with him for this Primal Yang Profound Ginseng, making him feel like he had just shot himself in the foot.
On the round platform, Ye Jian withdrew his expression and returned most of the space, leaving behind only two.
One of them was Yang Kai’s Space Ring, while the other was a mystery.
Yang Kai was secretly excited, knowing that he was only one step away from succeeding. The fact that Ye Jian had keep his Space Ring meant that the Heavenly Yuan Positive Seal Pill had truly moved him. From this, it could be seen that he truly valued his son.
Thinking about it, it wasn’t strange. Since this young man had condensed a Sixth Grade Forces, there was a chance he could directly break through to the Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage in the future. That was the future hope of Thunderclap Hall! It was worth investing so much into!
Yang Kai’s anxious heart finally relaxed. What he feared the most was that the Heavenly Yuan Positive Seal Pill wouldn’t be able to move Ye Jian. If that was the case, then the two hundred and twenty million Open Heaven Pills wouldn’t be able to compete.
Now, as long as he defeated the remaining opponent, he would be able to obtain the Primal Yang Profound Ginseng! But before that, he had to first figure out who the owner of this Space Ring was!
Without waiting for Yang Kai to figure it out, on the round platform, Ye Jian smiled bitterly and cupped his fists towards the old man from the Red Clouds Auction, “To be honest, these two rings that this Ye keep, Red Clouds Auction offer is better.”
Yang Kai immediately understood that this ring belonged to the Red Clouds Auction.
However, after thinking about it carefully, it wasn’t strange. After all, when Ye Jian had mortage the Primal Yang Profound Ginseng, the Red Clouds Auction had already known about its existence and could roughly guess that Ye Jian had brought it here to participate in the trade fair.
Since they knew about this in advance, the auction house would definitely have made preparations beforehand, so it was only natural for them to take out a bargaining chip that would move Ye Jian’s heart. On the other hand, if others were to suddenly learn about this, it would be difficult for them to compete with the Red Clouds Auction. Only if Yang Kai could compete with the Red Clouds Auction.
Therefore, among everyone’s bids, the value of the Red Clouds Auction chips was the highest.
Ye Jian suddenly changed the topic, “However, the First Inn’s Madam Lan does have something that this Ye is interested in, so I’m sorry, this Ye chooses Madam Lan’s side.”
The old man from the Red Clouds Auction nodded and said, “The trade is free, Brother Ye doesn’t need to worry about it.” He was even more regretful that he had taken out the Heavenly Yuan Positive Seal Pill to auction. Although he had sold it for an extremely high price, a seventh grade resource wasn’t something that could be bought with money. This auction was equivalent to giving away a great opportunity to the First Inn.
Ye Jian then turned to the Proprietress and cupped his fists, “Madam Lan, although this Ye is more willing to choose your price, this Ye has a request.”
The Proprietress nodded lightly, “Please speak, Hall Master Ye.”
Ye Jian said, “I know that Madam Lan has taken a lot of Sixth Grade Resources at the auction before, so this Ye wants those Sixth Grade resources. If not, you can use Open Heaven Pill to make up for it. What does Madam Lan think?”
The Proprietress hesitated for a moment before replying, “Of course!”
Although Yang Kai couldn’t bear to exchange these Sixth Grade resources, for the sake of this Primal Yang Profound Ginseng, he couldn’t care less. A Sixth Grade resource could be bought at a large auction, but a Seventh Grade one couldn’t. In comparison, this small price was worth it, so even if he lost money, it didn’t matter.
“Good!” Ye Jian smiled and nodded.
Just as Yang Kai was secretly excited, thinking that the outcome had been decided, he heard Senior Brother Guo say, “Brother Ye, please wait a moment, this Guo wants to make another bid.”
On the stage, Ye Jian couldn’t help revealing a difficult expression as he said, “I won’t hide it from Brother Guo, the reason why I chose Madam Lan is for my own reasons. Even if your price is higher than Madam Lan’s, this Ye is afraid…”
Senior Brother Guo smiled lightly, “Brother Ye is naturally free to choose, but Brother Ye may as well see this Guo’s offer first. Perhaps Brother Ye is more interested in this Guo’s offer.”
On the side, Yang Kai glared at him, wishing he could take out his Azure Dragon Spear and stab him to death!
He had long known that this bastard was up to no good and was probably trying to ruin his plans, but he hadn’t expected this to really be the case. Suppressing the anger in his heart, he sent a sound transmission to the Proprietress, “This trade fair can even be like this?”
The Proprietress also frowned, “The trade fair is free, there’s nothing we can’t do.”
Yang Kai immediately gnashed his teeth, his heart filled with hatred. At worst, he would just throw out all the Open Heaven Pills he had on hand to obtain the Primal Yang Profound Ginseng! He didn’t believe that this Senior Brother Guo could take out something worth more than a billion!
On the round stage, Ye Jian didn’t want to lose face, so after hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said, “In that case, Brother Guo, please!”
Senior Brother Guo immediately tossed out a Space Ring.
Under Yang Kai’s anxious gaze, Ye Jian examined the ring for a moment before frowning, a look of hesitation appearing on his face.
Seeing this scene, Yang Kai’s heart sank. He knew that Senior Brother Guo’s bid had really moved Ye Jian. This time’s bid might not have anything to do with the price, but it might also be to his liking.
Yang Kai secretly cursed. He couldn’t figure out what price Senior Brother Guo had offered, otherwise he could have dealt with it.
Ye Jian smiled bitterly, “Brother Guo is making things difficult for me.” As he spoke, he glanced towards his son.
Senior Brother Guo smiled lightly, “I believe Brother Ye will make a wise choice.” Showing a look of confidence, Yang Kai really wanted to give him a punch.
However, the more he wore this expression, the more Yang Kai felt that something was wrong. Under his observation, Ye Jian’s eyes remained fixed on Senior Brother Guo’s ring for a longer time. In other words, he seemed to be more interested in trading with Senior Brother Guo.
The situation wasn’t right! Yang Kai’s heart sank, and just as he was about to ask the Proprietress to raise the price, Yue He suddenly whispered.
Yang Kai was stunned for a moment before his eyes lit up.
He was only concerned about the price he and Senior Brother Guo were offering and had completely forgotten the reason why he was able to win by surprise. Previously, the price offered by the Red Clouds Auction was obviously higher, but Ye Jian still chose him, which was exactly why he had chosen him.
If it were anyone else, even with the Heavenly Yuan Positive Seal Pill, this method could only be used once.
But he could still use it again! Fortunately Yue He had warned him, otherwise he would have really forgotten that he still had it.
Immediately getting ready, he quietly handed the Proprietress a ring and sent a voice transmission.
The Proprietress turned her head to look at him but didn’t ask anything, simply saying, “Hall Master Ye, I also want to raise the price!”
Just as Ye Jian was in a difficult position, not knowing what to do, he heard this and said, “Madam Lan, please!”
The Proprietress immediately threw the Space Ring Yang Kai had given her and glared at Senior Brother Guo.
Senior Brother Guo rubbed his nose and turned his head to the side, seemingly very guilty.
“This… this is…” On the round platform, Ye Jian, who had just finished examining the ring, suddenly cried out, his eyes widening as a fiery light flashed across them.
Everyone looked over, wanting to know what was inside the ring, but they couldn’t see anything, causing their hearts to itch.
Even the Proprietress didn’t know what Yang Kai had given her, but from the look on Ye Jian’s face, it was obvious he had obtained something incredible. Otherwise, how could a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator lose his composure like this?
“Hahahaha!” Ye Jian suddenly threw his head back and laughed wildly, “Heaven never seals off all paths! Good, very good!”
Saying so, he directly threw back Senior Brother Guo’s Space Ring and cupped his fists, “Brother Guo, please forgive me, this Ye has decided to choose Madam Lan’s bid, Brother Guo should know that this Ye’s choice is not a matter of value, but Madam Lan’s bid, is something this Ye desperately needs!”
Everyone was in an uproar. Only now did they realize that even if Madam Lan increased the price again, it was still Senior Brother Guo’s bid which was higher. It could be seen that he really put in a lot of effort, but even so, he was still unable to move Ye Jian.
What the hell was Madam Lan’s bargaining chip? It actually made Ye Jian willing to give up such a great benefit.
Beside the Proprietress, Yang Kai couldn’t help clenching his fists and letting out a long sigh! Looking at Yue He, they could see the excitement in each other eyes.
Although the handover had yet to be completed, since Ye Jian had made such a gesture, it meant that this Primal Yang Profound Ginseng was already his unless someone could offer a bargaining chip that could move him even more.
However, the probability of this happening was very low.
Senior Brother Guo clutched his Space Ring and muttered to himself for a moment before deciding not to pursue the matter any further and simply smiling, “Then congratulations Brother Ye.”
“It's really gratifying, hahaha!” Ye Jian’s face lit up with joy, attracting countless curious gazes.
Since he already had a choice, Ye Jian didn’t hesitate any longer and immediately began to talk with the Proprietress.
According to his previous request, Yang Kai had taken out all of the Sixth Grade resources he had won at the auction and then calculated their value. The difference in price would be supplemented by the Open Heaven Pill.
In less than half a cup of tea’s time, the exchange between the two parties was completed and everyone was happy.
The Proprietress casually put away the Primal Yang Profound Ginseng.
The trade fair continued, but after a transaction involving a seventh grade resource, the remaining transactions had become much more sparse.
Yang Kai’s mind was still wandering, and he couldn’t wait to go into seclusion to refine the Primal Yang Profound Ginseng, so how could he have the mood to participate in the trade fair?
After another two hours, the trade fair finally came to an end, and all the Open Heaven Stage cultivators stood up and dispersed.
