“Five Million.” Another red-grade private room guest placed a bid. 729Please respect copyright.PENANANESclKaSSv
At this stage, all the interested guests gave it their all while the onlookers watched. Therefore, it had been the same guests bidding over each other, and it didn’t take long for the price to reach 7,700,000 taels.
This high price came from a red-grade private room.729Please respect copyright.PENANAfcd5VfWmBc
One of his competitors from a black-grade private room wore an ugly expression on his face. This competitor was a middle-aged man, and it was Mok Muk, the sculptor who previously rose to fame. He gained the ability to sense special wood as he cultivated, and the piece of everlasting wood on stage caught his interest. 729Please respect copyright.PENANA2TfJYJW7xb
But was it worth gambling more than 7,700,000 on such a small piece of wood that he might not even successfully find a way to use? 7,000,000 taels were over his budget. 729Please respect copyright.PENANAa2XXOGLV8R
After much hesitation, Mok Muk gave up on this piece of wood. 729Please respect copyright.PENANA1CSRRjgoyn
“Seven million and seven hundred thousand going once!” The auctioneer was slightly unhappy with the result. The everlasting wood might not be that old, but he still expected it to be sold for at least 10,000,000 taels.729Please respect copyright.PENANANza2lFyIz8
“How much do you have on you?” In their private room, Chui Yim asked Kam Chin-Kee, who had turned to him. 729Please respect copyright.PENANARFBQn6iHMF
“About five million.” Kam Chin Kee estimated. Something came to Chau Cheung’s mind, but it didn’t stop him from being shocked. He brought them here intending to get the Thousand-Miles Aroma as well as to gain knowledge and experience. He never imagined that Kam Chin-Kee and Chui Yim would want to bid for the wood. 729Please respect copyright.PENANAFdusgVBu9A
“Are you guys…talking about silver taels?” He asked softly. Kam Chin Kee definitely didn’t seem to own so much money! 729Please respect copyright.PENANAEJnDACdWas
However, he received no reply as Chui Yim threw Kam Chin Kee a space jade after some thought. “I have three million with me. Give it a shot.”729Please respect copyright.PENANA8IbBdaivkV
“Alright.” Kam Chin Kee nodded without feeling surprised. 729Please respect copyright.PENANAcvUzp4z5Ck
Under Chau Cheung’s shocked look, Kam Chin Kee placed his bid. “Eight million.”
729Please respect copyright.PENANAOuRYIad80r
729Please respect copyright.PENANAgqVjA17zVm
“Huh?” A person looking down from the red-grade private room stared at them coldly. He saw that it was a black-grade private room which had bid, and the guests didn’t keep their identity anonymous with the gliph formation. He saw two teenage boys sitting inside.729Please respect copyright.PENANAi5ho2VUvxX
Besides the annoyed man sat a teenager. 729Please respect copyright.PENANAZ855W2uqll
“Master…”729Please respect copyright.PENANAkKNV6VFPcG
“Don’t worry, how rich can those two young boys be? '' the man said disdainfully. He looked down at the bald teenager, Chui Yim. “That’s the genius fire-forger who recently appeared, huh?” 729Please respect copyright.PENANAOGxMndAlgX
The teen beside him had sharp eyebrows and narrowed eyes resembling a sword if he squinted. The middle-aged man was also frustrated to learn that the piece of wood would now cost 8,000,000 taels. Nevertheless, he continued bidding. “Eight million and a hundred thousand!” 729Please respect copyright.PENANAIn5swAzRLy
Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee were now the center of attention in the black grade room. Many watched them with burning gazes. They were the definition of young and rich… 729Please respect copyright.PENANARWdfBtFUCA
“It seems that I’m not fated with this item.” Kam Chin Kee turned to Chui Yim and shrugged. His response made Chui Yim admire how he could face losing a treasure so calmly.
On the other hand, Chau Cheung was stunned, but Chui Yim’s words flashed past his mind. “Brother Chui, you told me to bet everything on you, right?” He spoke subconsciously. 729Please respect copyright.PENANA7hbodf7rxM
“Chubby…” Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee exchanged glances. 729Please respect copyright.PENANAwMLwAQ9UvC
“Here’s all my assets, one million and five hundred thousand taels.” Chau Cheung said as he placed a huge stack of cash on the table. Chui Yim couldn’t help but shake his head at this interesting teenage boy. Unlike him and Kam Chin-Kee, who faced similar situations in the past, making them as close as brothers, Chau Cheung was merely Chui Yim’s agent, but he chose to bet on him repeatedly. 729Please respect copyright.PENANAHzujFHoV64
“I’ll accept your kindness, then.” Kam Chin Kee’s gaze at Chau Cheung became gentler. With that, Chui Yim called out his bid before everyone's eyes.
“Eight million and five hundred thousand.” 729Please respect copyright.PENANAdf3PnTb6th
Since Chui Yim didn’t activate the formation, this scene was witnessed by many. Many turned to Chau Cheung in admiration while the middle-aged man from the red-grade private room stood up in anger. He pressed the button to activate the formation gliph to mask his actual voice.
“Boy, you would be attracting danger to yourself by owning such a precious item!”729Please respect copyright.PENANAJIXNCjgo52
However, his words made the auctioneer’s face turn black in anger. “Noble guest, please behave yourself. Even the current Emperor Lam doesn’t dare to openly threaten other guests at the auction house. Nobody would patronize us if we allowed this to take place.729Please respect copyright.PENANA64e0J6nfYg
“If this happens again, we will revoke your membership immediately and blacklist you from the auction house forever!” 729Please respect copyright.PENANATPd695OYa9
The elder knew who was in the private room, but this was the auction house’s rule. Without such rules and regulations, the auction house would lose the trust of their customers, and they would soon see their downfall if that happened. 729Please respect copyright.PENANAOwfQaWiyN7
“Ten million taels!” The man sneered and withheld his anger. “I’m confident. Try me, kiddos!” 729Please respect copyright.PENANAxpIfB8csUg
“We’ve done our best.” in the black-grade private room, Chau Cheung turned to his companions with a bitter smile. 729Please respect copyright.PENANAr4cApDRNJ8
“Yeah, we did.” Kam Chin Kee agreed. This everlasting wood had caught his interest, and he was confident in creating a personal heaven-grade puppet with it. It was just that it seemed he was not fated with it. 729Please respect copyright.PENANArU4d5XEbew
729Please respect copyright.PENANA3B8KM2wu6N
An old man was watching this situation with interest from another red-grade private room. He was wearing farmer’s clothing and a pair of mud-stained straw shoes that created a huge contrast with the fancy room. Behind him was a chubby man who was shocked to know that Kam Chin-Kee and Chui Yim were secretly so well off. 729Please respect copyright.PENANAbPQDc9hFsd
The old man was Choh Hang Sang. After his discussion with Chui Yim, even though the other party didn’t know grass refining, Choh Hang Sang felt he had learned plenty of new knowledge from him. 729Please respect copyright.PENANAi6n4brMPVJ
This auction was just a casual trip for him. The auctioneer made the everlasting wood sound great, but think about the godly sword. It was made with a thousand-year-old everlasting wood long enough to refine a wooden sword. Since there was no way to damage the everlasting sword, how could he carve or reform it to make a sword? As a grass refiner, Choh Hang Sang understood this. But he couldn’t help but think that Chui Yim might have had a good idea of handling this piece of wood upon seeing how interested he was. He would greatly benefit from this experience of Chui Yim’s too. 729Please respect copyright.PENANAE2fDVxPeO1
“Haha, interesting!” Choh Hang Sang spoke suddenly and turned off the formation hiding his identity. “Since Brother Chui needs this item, this brother will lend you five hundred thousand taels.”
