The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3482 I'll leave you some travel expenses, you're getting a good deal!

The middle-aged man gave up, and the young man in white had no more rivals, successfully bidding for the first collectible at a price of fifty million divine crystals.

Lin Chen clicked his tongue in amazement; there were so many nouveau riche.

I just decided not to participate in the auction. Judging from the results, even if I had participated, I wouldn't have been able to buy anything.

The transaction price of 50 million was clearly not the bottom line for the young man in white.

He clearly intended to get this item, and if the middle-aged man continued to bid, the price would likely rise even higher.

After the first item was up for auction, the second item was quickly brought up.

This is a spatial-based supernatural power.

The auctioneer's presentation immediately sparked the enthusiasm of many buyers.

Supernatural powers, once learned, can normally be passed down. In other words, for a penny, many people can enjoy them. If the supernatural power is powerful enough, it can even become a treasured artifact of a sect or family.

Not to mention that this is a spatial ability, which is even rarer. The buyers in the hall were full of enthusiasm and quickly started bidding.

Lin Chen did not possess spatial attributes, so although he was somewhat curious about this supernatural ability, he did not make a bid.

It wasn't that he didn't want to buy it; after all, Sun Yixiao, the Thief Saint who lived in the Linglong Tower, was a space-type cultivator. If it could enhance his strength, it would be a great help. Unfortunately, he was poor.

To be able to exchange resources for 40 million divine crystals by oneself is something that is difficult for even a normal celestial being. Those who can come up with 40 million divine crystals are either from a large clan or a wealthy and powerful family.

The bidding was fierce, and the item was finally sold for 70 million divine crystals. The winner was an elderly man with white hair, who was beaming with excitement.

Lin Chen deliberately glanced at the young man in white and the middle-aged man who had bid in the first round, only to find that neither of them had bid in this round, presumably because the item was of no value to them.

After the second item was sold, Lin Chen finally brought out the third item he had been eagerly anticipating for the auction.

On the platform, there was a jade pendant. The auctioneer pointed at the jade pendant, and flames suddenly burst forth from it. A terrifying pressure instantly filled the entire auction room. At the same time, the flames expanded and quickly formed a majestic fire unicorn phantom.

Ning Hesheng whispered, "That jade pendant was specially made by a weapon refiner. It is specifically used to store the spirit of a refined demon beast. As long as spiritual power is injected, the spirit of the demon beast can be activated, making it easy to display."

"During the fusion process, the weapon refiner only needs to destroy the jade pendant, release the demonic beast spirit within, and then fuse it with the prepared magic weapon."

Lin Chen nodded: "Okay, make your bid."

The auctioneer gave a demonstration and smiled, "As you can see, this is a demon beast spirit refined from a fire qilin. This fire qilin possessed the strength of a saint, and this refined fire qilin has reached the quality of a mid-grade saint, making it a rare treasure. If it is fused with a fire-attribute magic weapon, the power of the fire magic will be greatly enhanced."

"Now we will proceed with the final item of this auction: the spirit of a mid-grade Saint-level Fire Qilin demon beast. The starting bid is five million divine crystals, and each bid must be at least one million divine crystals higher."

"Auction begins!"

Ning Hesheng immediately raised his paddle: "Six million."

"Seven million!"

"Ten million!"

"Twelve million."

Ning Hesheng raised his paddle again: "Fifteen million!"

People started bidding, and the price kept rising.

A mid-grade Saint-level demon beast spirit is extremely valuable. Even if you can't use it yourself, buying it and reselling it to someone else is an incredibly generous gift that no one can refuse.

Even if the other party is a saint, it is still difficult to refuse.

Lin Chen noticed the commotion throughout the auction hall, and suddenly his gaze froze, his heart sinking.

The young man in white who bought the rubbings in the first round made another move, lazily raising his paddle.

"Twenty million!" Lin Chen's eyes turned serious. This guy seemed to be very powerful. With him joining in, this matter was likely to become troublesome.

Ning Hesheng also looked solemn, but he didn't hesitate at all and immediately raised the price by five million.

"Twenty-five million."

The young man in white glanced over, looked Ning Hesheng up and down a few times, and then lazily raised the sign again.

"thirty million."

Lin Chen directly transmitted his voice to Ning Hesheng: "Just call forty million."

Anyway, I've prepared 40 million divine crystals. Whether it works or not, I'll take this gamble.

Ning Hesheng raised the sign and coldly shouted, "Forty million!"

The two bidders raised their prices too quickly, and the other buyers who had hoped to snag a bargain gave up, since 40 million was already a very high price.

Not everyone has the ability to come up with 40 million divine crystals.

All eyes were on the young man in white, awaiting his reaction.

In everyone's mind, this young man in white would probably pay any price to get what he wanted, and he was like that in the first round, and he would probably be like that in this round as well.

The young man in white glanced at Ning Hesheng, then suddenly smiled and said, "Raising the price so drastically, are you out of money?"

Ning Hesheng remained calm: "If you want to raise the price, then go ahead and do so."

The young man in white suddenly smiled and said, "I didn't bring much money with me this time. I just happened to come across this auction. I need to keep some money for travel expenses. I'll let you off the hook this time. I don't need it."

He doesn't want it anymore!

When the young man in white asked his question, Lin Chen was already mentally prepared to lose the bid, but he didn't expect the other party to suddenly turn the tide like this.

While Lin Chen was happy, he also became nervous. If the young man in white didn't want it, would others raise the price?
If the price increases further, should I add more myself?
Lin Chen still has many valuable items in his spatial ring; if necessary, he can exchange some more.

Regardless, a mid-grade Saint-level demonic beast spirit is worth Lin Chen's full effort.

Although Ning Hesheng had already bid the highest price, he displayed an air of absolute certainty that he was the only one who could win.

There was much discussion in the auction house, and despite the auctioneer's repeated inquiries, no one stepped forward to raise the price.

During this process, everyone's eyes fell on Ning Hesheng, scrutinizing him, whispering and weighing his opinions.

"Forty million, for the third time!"

"make a deal!"

As the auctioneer brought down the gavel, sealing the deal, the gazes directed at Ning Hesheng suddenly became complex.

Lin Chen knew that he and his companion were being watched.

The spirit of a sacred-grade demon beast—this item is even worth the attention of a saint. Now that Ning Hesheng has won the bid, he's only accompanied by one bodyguard, clearly not a saint. This inevitably tempts others to be greedy.

Lin Chen wasn't worried, since these people wouldn't dare to make a move in Yuntian City anyway.

At worst, I can just leave Cloud Sky City and escape by jumping through the stars.

Even a saint cannot stop himself!
Lin Chen's eyes fell on the jade pendant on the platform, and a surge of excitement welled up in his heart.

My luck is as good as ever!

The Sacred Rank Fire Qilin Beast Spirit is mine!
