Just then, a glint flashed in the auctioneer's eyes, and he immediately announced loudly:
"The starting bid for the Soul Enhancement Pill is 200,000 gold coins, and each increment must not be less than 20,000. The bidding officially begins now!"
As his words fell, the bidding buttons in the surrounding private rooms lit up almost simultaneously.
The rising and falling bids instantly ignited the entire venue.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Three hundred thousand!"
"Four hundred thousand!"
"Six hundred thousand!"
"..."
The price climbed at an astonishing speed.
In just a few minutes, the price of the Soul Enhancement Pill broke the one million mark.
The atmosphere in the venue grew even hotter, and many bidders were already excitedly standing up.
Tang Chuan sat quietly in his chair, listening to the constantly rising prices, his expression composed, a faint curve on his lips.
Just then, a corpulent elder slowly rose. It was Prince Xue Xing. He directly pressed the bidding button, and his booming voice echoed throughout the venue:
"Two million!"
This price immediately silenced the scene, and many bidders showed hesitation.
"If anyone dares to bid higher, I will add another million!"
With a cold shout, Prince Xue Xing proudly surveyed his surroundings, his determined expression causing many who had initially wanted to bid higher to give up.
A moment later, looking at the gradually quieting crowd, a smug sneer appeared on Prince Xue Xing's lips. Just as he thought the Soul Enhancement Pill was already in his grasp, a middle-aged man's voice suddenly came from behind:
"Three million!"
Upon hearing this, the smile on Prince Xue Xing's face instantly froze, his corpulent body jolted, and he abruptly stood up, the fat on his face trembling slightly with anger. He fiercely scanned the source of the voice and roared, "Today, I want to see who dares to compete with me?!"
Seeing Prince Xue Xing look at him, Ning Fengzhi not only did not avoid his gaze, but instead smiled and nodded at Prince Xue Xing.
Although Ning Fengzhi was wearing a mask at this moment, his unique temperament and demeanor immediately allowed Prince Xue Xing to recognize his identity.
Prince Xue Xing was about to say something when he suddenly met the gloomy eyes of Bone Douluo, who was beside Ning Fengzhi. He found that the latter was glaring fiercely at him.
The next second, Prince Xue Xing's royal arrogance completely vanished, his expression changed several times, and he finally could only sit back down dejectedly, his hands on the chair unconsciously clenching.
Watching this scene unfold, the auctioneer also dared not say much.
He merely cleared his throat and loudly proclaimed, "Three million gold coins once, three million gold coins twice, three million gold coins thrice, sold!"
Saying this, he turned his gaze to Ning Fengzhi not far away and respectfully said, "This Soul Enhancement Pill belongs to this distinguished guest."
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly and nodded in response.
At the same time, Xue Beng suddenly tugged at Prince Xue Xing's sleeve, his face anxious, and he lowered his voice, asking in confusion, "Uncle, why are we afraid of him? If the Soul Enhancement Pill is snatched by someone else, what will I do in the future?"
"Are you blind? Can't you recognize that he is Ning Fengzhi, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?" Upon hearing this, Prince Xue Xing glared at him and rebuked him in a low voice.
Xue Beng pouted, somewhat speechless, and said:
"Of course I recognized him. He has a Titled Douluo by his side, don't we?"
Saying this, he looked up at Dugu Bo not far away, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
