Ruyue finally spoke up.
With that, another mber of the Xuann Sect had joined the fray.
The Xuann Sect was itself a major sect, not at all inferior to the Tu family, and perhaps even surpassed it in so respects.
Although Tu Yilong was quite proud, this was a fact he had to admit.
The majority of the powerhouses in the Tu family were Tu family mbers, known for their exclusivity and high loyalty. However, not every Tu family mber could be a genius, so the overall strength of the family was inevitably not very high, unless a particularly extraordinary genius erged in one generation.
On the other hand, the disciples of a sect were selected from the general populace, focusing on exceptional talents. Over ti, and through the accumulation of generations, the strength of a sect would be inevitably stronger than that of a family.
However, the recruitnt of disciples by sects like Xuann was very secretive, which resulted in most people being unaware of their existence.
Xuann, Valley of the dicine King, Tu family, Xu Hao...
Tu Yilong had no choice but to sit down and ponder slowly what to do next. Was he really going to have to compete financially?
He had co to Huadu as a representative of the noble Tu family, which was a half-hidden family, expecting to impress others far and wide. Yet, he had encountered so many difficulties on just the second evening, which annoyed him greatly.
Elder Dong now said with a smile, "Ladies and gentlen, the bidding for this Incomplete Token begins at ten billion, with each bid increase no less than ten million!"
Utter silence filled the room.
The vast majority couldn't even afford the starting price, let alone participate in the bidding. They were all just watching the drama unfold.
It was at this mont that Ruyue looked down at her phone, then raised her head to say, "Xuann bids fifteen billion."
Elder Xie said with a smile, "It's been a long ti since I've seen Taoist friend Lan Xin. I wonder how Lan Xin is doing now. Ruyue, please convey my regards to Taoist friend Lan Xin when you return."
"Rest assured, Elder Xie, I will definitely deliver the ssage," Ruyue said hurriedly as she stood up respectfully.
Even though they were not from the sa sect, Valley of the dicine King maintained a lofty status, so Ruyue had to treat them with deference.
Elder Xie smiled and said, "All three of you are young. I shouldn't really compete with you, but this involves so very important matters, so I cannot stay out of it. However, if Young Tu brings out the full two hundred billion directly for the auction, I will imdiately give up."
As an old man nearing a hundred years old, Elder Xie actually did not want to compete with people like Xu Hao. However, he hadn't brought any disciples with him this ti, only having his old apprentice Lei Qianjue, so he had to enter the fray himself.
Ruyue also said, "That's right. If Third Young Master Tu brings out the two hundred billion directly, I won't bid anymore either. The Xuann Sect, while still half hidden, has not completely severed ties with the mundane world, but our funds are not abundant."
What Ruyue said probably reflected Elder Xie's inner thoughts as well.
But if it really was true, others couldn't know. Perhaps Elder Xie had other considerations? Keep us going by reading on *.
After all, compared to people like Tu Yilong who only knew a fraction of the story, Elder Xie definitely knew much more.
Tu Yilong's expression slightly changed.
He sowhat regretted ntioning two hundred billion outright.
The Tu family was also a half-hidden family, and their financial resources were not as vast as one might imagine, as their focus was more on martial arts.
This ti, the family had scraped together the two hundred billion from their vassal forces, which according to their plans should have been more than enough.
However, with Elder Xie and Ruyue's conversation, the price had been driven up to two hundred billion!
Wasn't this implying that their powers could also bring forth two hundred billion at once?
If Tu Yilong could acquire the Token for a small price, then his mission would have been extrely well accomplished. Upon returning, he would surely receive a great reward since, even as a direct descendant, the resources for his cultivation were not unlimited.
But if he were to spend all two hundred billion, although the mission would still be accomplished, it could only be considered barely satisfactory.
With a single sentence, Elder Xie shattered Tu Yilong's plan of completing the mission flawlessly.
Tu Yilong bit his teeth in frustration and said, "This Incomplete Token is a must-have for our Tu family, since both of you have spoken like this, then I will directly bid two hundred billion!"
After all, wealth was rely an external possession. As long as he bought the Incomplete Token, it would be a gain.
The rest of the crowd imdiately erupted into a buzz of disbelief, presuming that following Elder Xie's words, Tu Yilong wouldn't really put forth two hundred billion at once—who had ever heard of going all in at the beginning of a card ga?
But Tu Yilong did just that.
Ruyue imdiately said indifferently, "Xuann withdraws."
Elder Xie also smiled, "True to the spirit of youth, such vigor. We in the Valley of the dicine King will also withdraw."
Tu Yilong's face showed a hint of joy. Although he had spent two hundred billion, forcing them both to withdraw ant he was already ahead. This Token was surely going to be his.
When Tu Yilong called out two hundred billion, Elder Dong too was montarily stunned. Regaining his composure, he quickly announced, "Two hundred billion for the first ti! Two hundred billion for the second ti! Two..."
However, before Elder Dong could finish, a flat voice suddenly rang out, "Two hundred and one billion."
