Chapter 229 Malicious Price Raising
The auction was in its second half.

The host clapped his hands, and a maid dressed in a moon-white dress came up carrying a tray.

"This item is a drop of Taiyi Immortal Dew. Due to accidental contamination with Rootless Water, it has been downgraded to Acquired quality. The auction house will inform all guests of the item's specific details. If you mind, please do not bid."

As soon as the words were spoken, the people in the room shouted impatiently, "Just make an offer!"

"Yes, even the Taiyi Immortal Dew of acquired quality is priceless. Hurry up and give us a price, stop dawdling!"

The host, maintaining a smile, announced in a clear voice: "The starting price for the Taiyi Immortal Dew is 10,000 spirit stones, and each bid must be at least 1,000 spirit stones higher."

Immediately, someone held up a sign and shouted, "Eleven thousand!"

Rong Jiang turned to look at Ning Fusang and asked, "My lord, shall we follow the filming of Taiyi Immortal Dew?"

This auction might not be able to accommodate the Innate Water Spirit. Although there is Taiyi Immortal Dew as a substitute, it is not the same as the Innate Water Spirit. Rong Jiang still needs to ask Ning Fusang for his opinion.

Ning Fusang said calmly, "You are a weapon refiner, so you can decide for yourself what materials you need."

She added, "I want the best water-repellent beads."

Rong Jiang had a good idea of ​​the price and shouted, "Twelve thousand!"

A rough voice rang out: "At this rate of bidding by the thousand, when will this ever end? My Shi family is offering 50,000 spirit stones. Anyone with less than 50,000 spirit stones should withdraw from the bidding!"

The auction hall fell silent for a moment. Seeing that no one was bidding, the host asked as usual, "Fifty thousand spirit stones, is there anyone bidding higher? If no one bids, this drop of Taiyi Immortal Dew will belong to the guest in private room number twelve."

Ning Fusang tapped her fingers lightly on the table. Rong Jiang looked away and called out, "Fifty-one thousand spirit stones."

"Hiss, this hothead in private room number seventeen is really trying to pull the strings. Didn't he hear the other person introduce himself?"

"The Shi family is a prominent family in Lingfeng City. Even the city lord has to give them some face. The silly boy in private room number seventeen is probably an outsider."

"It's alright if he's not from Lingfeng City; he just needs to be careful when he goes out. Once he leaves Lingfeng City, the world is vast, and the Shi family won't be able to find him."

Besides Rongjiang, several other forces are also vying for Taiyi Immortal Dew.

The price was quickly raised to 80,000 spirit stones.

Rong Jiang only adds 1,000 each time.

From private room number twelve, a persistent voice rang out: "Eighty-five thousand!"

The other voices fell silent.

Rong Jiang clenched her fists, about to shout 86,000, when Ning Fusang spoke up: "150,000 spirit stones."

The clear, cool voice, like a mountain spring in the forest, carried out, startling both the host and Shi Nandou in private room number twelve.

Shi Nandou was the first to come to his senses, and said in disbelief, "Room number seventeen, that stingy, dim-witted guy who only adds a thousand each time, quoted 150,000 spirit stones? Did I hear that right?"

The subordinate lowered his head, looking at the toes of his shoes. "Young master, it was indeed the price quoted for private room number seventeen just now, but it was a girl's voice, not that naive and foolish young man's."

"It's all the same, they're in cahoots anyway," Shi Nandou said nonchalantly.

He stroked the copper plate at his waist. His subordinate, seemingly knowing what he was about to say, advised, "Young Master, it's not worth it to spend 150,000 spirit stones on a single drop of Taiyi Immortal Dew."

Shi Nandou snorted: "Can't this young master do math?"

He just felt a little embarrassed.

He had previously complained that the person in private room number seventeen was a penniless wretch who only dared to raise the price by a thousand or a thousand, but now the person had directly bid up to 150,000 spirit stones, and the clown was actually Shi Nandou himself. This was simply outrageous!

His eyes gleamed, ready to teach the other party a lesson.

That silly bird wants the Taiyi Immortal Dew, so he'll grant it to him.

Shi Nandou gave a sinister smile, and his subordinates knew their young master was up to no good. He called out, "Eighteen thousand spirit stones!"

There was a collective sigh of disappointment on the field.

"I originally thought that 150,000 spirit stones was the maximum, but I didn't expect it to rise to 180,000. I wonder if private room number 17 will still follow suit."

"Spending 180,000 spirit stones on a single drop of Taiyi Immortal Dew is such a waste!"

"The Shi family is rich, so what are these spirit stones? It seems that Young Master Shi Nandou is determined to get this drop of Taiyi Immortal Dew."

"The girl in private room number seventeen must also desperately need this drop of Taiyi Immortal Dew, otherwise how could she have asked for 150,000?"

"Now it's just a competition between Shi Nandou and the private room number seventeen. I wonder who will ultimately get this drop of Taiyi Immortal Dew."

Inside the private room, the subordinates remained expressionless upon hearing their young master's quote.

He knew that his young master didn't actually want to bid on this drop of Taiyi Immortal Dew; he simply wanted to raise the price for the other party.

Although the auction house is not owned by the Shi family, the owner behind it has some connections with the Shi family.

Shi Nandou helped drive up the price, and in the end, the auction house profited. Whoever won the bid for this drop of Taiyi Immortal Dew, the auction house owner would be happy to see it happen.

On the other side, after a moment of silence in the private room, a voice spoke up: "190,000 spirit stones, do you still wish to continue?"

Shi Nandou didn't really intend to give any money; it was just a matter of saying it. He casually said, "Of course I'll go with it. I'll offer 200,000 spirit stones."

"Very well, this drop of Taiyi Immortal Dew is yours to keep."

Ning Fusang withdrew from the bidding.

Ning Fusang had already made up her mind when she had 150,000 spirit stones.

If I can get the Taiyi Immortal Dew at this price, I'll bid. If anyone else bids, I'll pass it on to that sucker.

Originally, buying a drop of Taiyi Immortal Dew for 150,000 spirit stones was already an astronomical price, but there were still people bidding against it. Either they really needed Taiyi Immortal Dew, or they were maliciously raising the price.

Regardless of the intentions of the person in private room number twelve, Ning Fusang didn't want that drop of Taiyi Immortal Dew.

Shi Nandou stood up in his private room and paced back and forth. "She's already quitting after only two rounds? Doesn't she really need the Taiyi Immortal Dew?"

The subordinate thought to himself that the other party was probably a smart person who could see that the young master was maliciously raising the price.

But this couldn't be said aloud. After racking his brains, the subordinate said, "Maybe she's out of money."

Shi Nandou's expression brightened slightly.

Just then, the voice of the silly bird from private room number seventeen rang out again: "Two hundred thousand spirit stones!"

Shi Nandou turned his head and saw that the item being auctioned this time was a piece of innate water spirit, which was much more precious than the Taiyi Immortal Dew that he had bought.

He looked at his subordinate: "Didn't you say she had no money?"

Subordinate: "This is just my guess."

Shi Nandou angrily kicked the table leg, his face extremely ugly.

Having suffered a loss before, Shi Nandou did not participate in the bidding this time. Faced with this number, the others hesitated, and Ning Fusang directly won the innate water spirit with 200,000 spirit stones.

This is probably what they mean by "a sudden turn of events, a glimmer of hope after a dark period."

This auction is a blind auction, and no auction catalog will be prepared for the guests. Therefore, Ning Fusang does not know whether the innate water spirit and snake gall will appear at the auction. She just came to try her luck.

Besides auctions, Ning Fusang also inquired about snake gallbladders on the black market.
