Chapter 1076: Chapter 1062: The Key to Victory
The reason why everyone involved in the auction felt the urge to curse Shuili Dan King’s entire family was not actually because of Shuili Dan King himself.
Shuili Dan King is a lover of pills and feels that increasing the price by one spirit crystal after another desecrates the already rare Grand Treasure Mansion Opening Pill.
This is very sincere, and everyone believes it.
However, the issue lies with this thod of hidden bidding.
Compared to open bidding, at least with open bids, bidders have so grasp and understanding of how much to spend, giving them so peace of mind.
But hidden bidding is different.
Especially for those bidders who are determined to win.
What’s more important is, in light of the innate bloodline enhancent pill auction fetching an exorbitant two million one hundred thousand high-grade spirit crystals, what price should be offered for the more precious Grand Treasure Mansion Opening Pill to outbid everyone?
Moreover, the base jade talisman for this Grand Treasure Mansion Opening Pill auction is not limited; anything valuable can be used.
If you bid two million high-grade spirit crystals, and your opponent bids one million four hundred thousand high-grade spirit crystals plus a rare pill formula?
Or a rare spiritual dicine?
Which do you think Shuili Dan King would choose?
The crowd was angry because this hidden bidding is entirely uncontrollable, akin to a bottomless pit where after filling the base jade talisman, one still has to rely on luck.
Honestly, hidden bidding is probably the least favorite auction thod of all martial artists.
Yet it is the favorite thod of auctioneers, as it can extract the maximum value from bidders, allowing the auctioneer to leisurely select the highest bidder.
However, ordinary auction houses dare not use hidden bidding often, lest they risk going out of business.
But Shuili Dan King is different; everything is hidden bid with him, and people still flock to him.
Nevertheless, hidden bidding is also the most elegant auction thod.
Of course, the martial artists eligible to bid have varied thoughts, but Shuili Dan King doesn’t care; if you’re capable, don’t co.
“Now, let this hidden bidding comnce! Please, fellow martial artists, present your base jade talisman. Submit it in unison after fifteen minutes, after which I will announce the auction results!”
As Shuili Dan King’s voice rang out, the martial artists, including Ye Zhen, who were keen to bid on this Grand Treasure Mansion Opening Pill, imdiately frowned.
“What base price will suffice?”
“Two million high-grade spirit crystals, or two million three hundred thousand, even two million six hundred thousand high-grade spirit crystals?”
Ye Zhen pondered for a long ti but still couldn’t decide, for even if he wrote the base jade talisman as three million high-grade spirit crystals, he had no confidence in obtaining this Grand Treasure Mansion Opening Pill.
“Third Brother, do you have any good ideas?” Ye Zhen looked at Sea-Breaking Great Saint.
Sea-Breaking Great Saint slowly shook his head, “This hidden bid thod is inherently a bottomless pit, but it is not without traces!
One thing is crucial!” Sea-Breaking Great Saint extended a finger.
“Please guide , Third Brother!” Ye Zhen said tactfully.
“The standard for winning in hidden bidding!” Sea-Breaking Great Saint stated.
Ye Zhen frowned, “The standard for winning in hidden bidding? Isn’t it according to the value of the base jade talisman…..”
Halfway through his words, Ye Zhen suddenly stopped, excitedly looking towards Sea-Breaking Great Saint, “I understand, Third Brother ans the standard for winning hidden bidding isn’t fixed!
The standard for winning hidden bidding is entirely at Shuili Dan King’s whim.
In other words, Shuili Dan King’s value judgnt is the standard for winning hidden bidding!
And a person’s value judgnt is often linked to personal preferences! Just like how, for people one doesn’t like, even the most delicious gourt can’t compare to a bowl of sweet, hot millet porridge!
Third Brother ans I should start from Shuili Dan King’s preferences?”
As Ye Zhen spoke in succession, Sea-Breaking Great Saint initially maintained a normal expression, but gradually sat up straight in surprise, looking at Ye Zhen with a face full of astonishnt.
Sea-Breaking Great Saint didn’t expect that with just a hint, Ye Zhen could realize so much and even understand thoroughly!
This is truly…..
Sea-Breaking Great Saint knew this only because, in the past three hundred years, he participated in or heard from his eldest and second brothers about at least seven hidden auctions and outcos held by Shuili Dan King, discovering this crucial point.
Unexpectedly, Ye Zhen comprehended it all at once.
This left Sea-Breaking Great Saint sowhat frustrated; compared to properly raised human martial artists, demon clan martial artists still lack in so aspects.
“Of course, to Shuili Dan King, do you think two million high-grade spirit crystals are more valuable? Or is a rare pill formula more valuable?
Pill Fanatic—that’s not a na given lightly!” Sea-Breaking Great Saint affird Ye Zhen’s idea.
“Hmm, third brother is right, and I think the reason Shuili Dan King changed the bidding thod for the last grand treasure to a silent auction might be because he no longer values Spirit Crystals.
To Shuili Dan King, Spirit Crystals have beco just numbers, which is why he resorted to a silent auction!
What Shuili Dan King truly desires could possibly be those rare mystical treasures.
Upon reaching this point, Ye Zhen felt remorse, “It’s a pity, I’ve already made a deal with Shuili Dan King regarding the Xuanming Treasure Tree; otherwise, with just this Xuanming Treasure Tree, I could certainly win the Grand Treasure Mansion Opening Pill in the silent auction.
“Yes, think of sothing else! Rember, just like you said, don’t include any Spirit Crystals, the important thing is the rarity of the object, and try to lean towards Pills!” said Sea-Breaking Great Saint.
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen nodded heavily and began contemplating.
Not only Ye Zhen, but any Martial Artist interested in bidding for this Grand Treasure Mansion Opening Pill, had a constipated expression at the mont, indicating their discomfort.
How much should the base amount be written as?
Of course, those pondering over these issues are the ones who haven’t grasped Shuili Dan King’s intentions, just like the pondering Stars Tower Third Tower Chief Ou Tu, Yin Yang Island Second Island Master Yang Ben, Leader of the Dragon Alliance Jie Tianhe, all furrowing their brows, considering what item would be most suitable for trade.
These seasoned veterans, what Ye Zhen could see through, they could basically see through as well.
But the point is, even if you see through it, you must have sothing suitable and desired by Shuili Dan King to offer.
As the saying goes, if it’s sothing he doesn’t like, no matter how precious, Shuili Dan King won’t choose it.
Ye Zhen even thought that if soone offered a rare Pill Formula, even if the base amount was written as a Low Grade Soul Artifact, they might still not be able to win in this silent auction!
Fifteen minutes quickly passed, especially while contemplating, it felt like it flew by.
“Everyone, within ten breaths, submit the Jade Talisman with the base amount to the void before you; I will collect them uniformly. If anyone fails to submit the Jade Talisman with the base amount within ten breaths, I will regard it as voluntarily forfeiting the bid!” Shuili Dan King’s voice suddenly resounded.
Quickly, most people delivered the Jade Talismans to their front; they saw Shuili Dan King slightly open his five fingers, and streams of Jade Talismans seed to flow into Shuili Dan King’s palm.
However, by this ti, Ye Zhen had yet to submit his base Jade Talisman.
Seeing Ye Zhen’s situation, the Young Palace Master of Xuanshui Palace, Leng Kang, who hadn’t had a chance to vent his anger, couldn’t sit still, wanting to seize the opportunity to mock Ye Zhen and at least gain so interest from the slap in the face Ye Zhen previously gave him.
“Unexpectedly, Sea Suppression Great Saint is as indecisive as a woman! Still haven’t written the base, is Sea Suppression Great Saint lacking confidence in himself, or can’t he afford it?” Leng Kang suddenly sneered at Ye Zhen.
“This indecisive woman is much better than a guy like you, hiding like a turtle!”
Saying this, Ye Zhen flicked his finger, sending a Jade Talisman into the void and simultaneously gesturing at Leng Kang, “I think if Young Palace Master Leng wore a palace dress and held a fan, without needing to apply makeup, you could attract guests to so pavilions!”
Ye Zhen never showed a good face to his enemies!
With just a single sentence, laughter filled Shangdan Building.
Leng Kang’s face turned extrely livid imdiately.
“You….”
Just as Leng Kang was about to stand up and lash out, Chen Pi’s extrely cold gaze startled Leng Kang.
Then, the abruptly standing Leng Kang, sowhat helplessly, sat down slowly, glaring at Ye Zhen, enunciating each word, “Sea Suppression, don’t fall into my hands, otherwise, I will surely send you to the brothel to be a pushover!”
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen clapped and laughed heartily, “Excellent, I didn’t expect Young Palace Master Leng to give such a good suggestion again. In the future, I will let you have a good taste of this suggestion!”
At this mont, the last person, which was Stars Tower Third Tower Chief Ou Tu, finally flicked out his base Jade Talisman.
“Hehe, Brother Ou, seeing you so confident, are you determined to win this Grand Treasure Mansion Opening Pill?” witnessing this, Jie Tianhe slightly laughed.
“Hehe, not exactly! However, although we don’t spend as much ti at sea as Dragon Alliance, we still have so rare treasures to offer.
As long as Alliance Leader Jie doesn’t bleed heavily, I think there’s still so confidence”
Ou Tu said this beautifully, making Jie Tianhe chuckle a bit, “Hardly, to discuss treasures, we can’t compare to Stars Tower anyway!”
It sounded like both of them were assuredly going to win, making many bidders’ faces look sowhat grim.
“How can this be, among the most treasure-laden places, the Outer Domain Dead Sea certainly tops the list! If Alliance Leader Jie wins this Grand Treasure Mansion Opening Pill, I think from any perspective, Brother Jie will be willing to sit down and chat with this old man, right!”
While saying this, Ou Tu intentionally glanced at Ye Zhen, his aning couldn’t be clearer to those with keen eyes, causing Ye Zhen’s foes like Yang Ben, Leng Kang, and others to sneer.
Secretly looking forward to Ye Zhen’s misfortune!
“Of course, very willing!” Jie Tianhe also glanced intentionally at Ye Zhen while replying, making the aning even clearer.
Yang Ben, Leng Kang, Yan Wuluo, and others had a look of rising anticipation.
However, the next mont, everyone in Shangdan Building held their breath.
They saw on the auction stage, Shuili Dan King laid out the twenty-six base submissions and one by one picked them up, scrutinizing the bases.
The result of the silent auction was about to be revealed! (To be continued. If you like this work, please co to QiDian (qidian) to vote for recomndations—your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian to read.)
