Eternal Dragon Emperor Chapter 421 421: Provoking Public Fury

"That's right, this is a Fire Crystal! I'm sure everyone is well aware of a Fire Crystal's uses! I won't waste any more words. So of you may have co here specifically for this Fire Crystal, so let's begin the auction! I hope we'll see another miracle.

The starting price for the Fire Crystal is one hundred thousand Spirit Stones, with a minimum bid incrent of five thousand Spirit Stones! Get those bids in, friends! Let's see who will be the final owner of this Fire Crystal!" the middle-aged man announced loudly to the crowd.

A Fire Crystal is a crystalline stone containing a high concentration of the Fire Attribute. While not on the sa level as a Fire Elental Pearl, it is still considered an excellent Fire Attribute item and can greatly boost the power of Martial Artists who have comprehended the Fire Attribute.

Ye Tian wasn't very familiar with Fire Crystals, but he had a feeling this one would be useful. 'My own mastery of the Fire Elent is still weak. If I can start by absorbing this Fire Crystal, it should be much easier to master the Fire Elent once I get the Fire Elental Pearl.'

"Ye Tian, this is a real treasure. You should get it," Zhang Xinlan said with a faint smile.

"If it's going to help , then let's just buy it. What's the current bid?" Ye Tian asked, clearly addressing Xu Chun.

"Young Master, the price has already reached five hundred thousand, and the bidding is incredibly fierce. There are at least a hundred people bidding, even more than for that first Fire Attribute Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact! Young Master, are you planning to place a bid?" Xu Chun asked Ye Tian.

"That's right. Bid five million. That should make the other bidders back off imdiately. I believe with a bid like that, no one will dare to compete," Ye Tian said slowly.

Xu Chun imdiately bid five million. These two truly treated Spirit Stones like they were nothing. One had casually bid ten million, and now the other was starting with five million. They clearly weren't giving anyone else a chance!

The five million bid imdiately made the auction house's giant screen flash with a purple light. The number stunned everyone; the shock was even greater than the thirty million bid from before.

Because this wasn't a bid from just anyone, but from the most mysterious VIP Room #3! Such a high bid showed that they were determined to win this Fire Crystal!

"Are the people in VIP Room #3 out of their minds? So what if they have Spirit Stones? They think they own the place? How is anyone else supposed to get a chance!" soone in the main hall who had wanted the Fire Crystal roared in fury.

"Outrageously arrogant. If this weren't an auction house, soone would need to teach that guy a lesson! How is anyone supposed to bid against that?" another person grumbled.

The bid sent shockwaves through the crowd. Everyone was complaining that the occupants of VIP Room #3 were being unreasonable and not giving anyone else a chance.

Even the occupants of the other VIP rooms found it hard to watch, especially Young Master Ouyang in VIP Room #7. He was an incredibly arrogant person himself, and the appearance of soone even more arrogant was more than he could bear.

"Bid six million! The Royal Family might not dare to offend them, but I do. I want to see if this guy dares to oppose my Ouyang Family!" Young Master Ouyang said to the maidservant by his side.

And so, the number six million Spirit Stones imdiately appeared on the screen. Seeing this, everyone seed to breathe a collective sigh of relief, as it showed that there was still soone who dared to compete with the people in VIP Room #3.

In that mont, the occupant of VIP Room #7 beca a hero in the eyes of the crowd. So people even started to cheer!

"Heh. Xinlan, it seems we've caused a public outrage! Look how displeased everyone is with us," Ye Tian remarked.

"So what if they're displeased? As long as we win the Fire Crystal, that's what matters. It's at six million now, isn't it? Let's make it ten million. I'd like to see if the person in VIP Room #7 has the resources to compete with us," Zhang Xinlan said.

And so, the number ten million appeared on the screen. A golden light shone so brightly that the crowd could barely open their eyes. This was the second ti a golden light had appeared; nothing like this had happened in the auction house for many years.

For a golden light to appear twice on the very first day was too incredible to believe, yet it had happened. And the ones who made it happen were two mbers of the younger generation.

"Crazy! They're crazy! The people in VIP Room #3 are completely insane! A Fire Crystal is worth one to two million Spirit Stones at most, but they actually bid ten million. Is there sothing wrong with their heads?" soone in the hall said.

"They're not crazy, there's a thod to their madness! A bid this high is ant to scare off all other competitors and make them back down! Or maybe the people in VIP Room #3 are just so loaded with Spirit Stones that they don't care! Let's just enjoy the show. The world of the ga-rich is beyond our understanding!" another person said.

"How dare they! To slap in the face in front of so many people! Bid fifteen million! I want everyone to know that I, Young Master Ouyang, have claid this Fire Crystal!" Young Master Ouyang from VIP Room #7 almost roared.

Just as the maidservant was about to raise the bid, she was stopped by the middle-aged man beside her. "There's no need to raise the price. Fire Crystals aren't that rare; the family has a few. Besides, Young Master, you don't have a Fire Attribute constitution, so getting a Fire Crystal won't be of much use to you.

Moreover, spending so many Spirit Stones just to vent your anger isn't worth it. If you bid fifteen million, they might just bid twenty million. You'll only get angrier then. What would you do, Young Master?"

Young Master Ouyang answered imdiately without a second thought, "Bid twenty-five million! Let's see if he still dares to contend with !"

"But what if the other party suddenly stops bidding and lets you have the Fire Crystal? Then you would have spent twenty-five million on a Fire Crystal worth two million at most. At that point, it wouldn't be about venting your anger; you'd beco a laughingstock for everyone.

Then the Ouyang Family's reputation would be utterly ruined. So, Young Master, you must think this through. Don't act on impulse! You must know when to stop. It's entirely possible they're trying to set a trap for you! Besides, we have other uses for our Spirit Stones. Don't forget why we ca here!" the middle-aged man said earnestly.

"I understand! It's a good thing you reminded , or I would have fallen right into their trap! We'll give up on the Fire Crystal! But I'll rember this. Sooner or later, I will make the occupants of VIP Room #3 understand the consequences!" Young Master Ouyang said.

"It is good that Young Master thinks this way. Once we're out of Linxiao City, dealing with them will be as easy as swatting a fly. Besides, we're probably not the only ones who want to deal with them. The people in VIP Room #1 certainly won't let them go.

Perhaps we won't even need to make a move. However, the power that the woman from VIP Room #3 displayed earlier was formidable. We still need to act with caution," the middle-aged man said.

"I know how to handle it. Today's auction is over. The people in VIP Room #3 got off easy!" Young Master Ouyang said, looking at the screen.

At that mont, the auction for the Fire Crystal was over. Ye Tian had successfully bought it for ten million Spirit Stones, but in exchange, he had earned the hatred of many.
