Chapter 1873: Two Heavenly Ancient Tokens in hand

"Starting bid: ten thousand low-tier physical spirit gold."

This made He Pingsheng pause for a moment.

Because this starting price was truly too low.

"Thirteen thousand!"

"Fifteen thousand!"

"Eighteen thousand!"

"Twenty thousand!"

……

People kept placing bids.

He Pingsheng gritted his teeth and sent a voice transmission to Han Houzhi, saying: "Bid one million directly!"

His strategy was simple: add a price in one go that would make people's hearts tremble, so that no one would dare to follow up with a higher bid.

That way, he could easily secure the first Heavenly Ancient Token instead of getting entangled in an endless bidding war here.

"One million……"

A loud, resonant voice rang out.

He Pingsheng's face darkened: Good fellow…… it turns out I'm not the only smart one here.

No sooner had he finished speaking than someone else had already raised it to one million.

Looking at his opponent, it turned out to be none other than that red-haired fellow: Master Tong.

This price really shocked everyone else.

The starting price was only ten thousand, and each increment was not to exceed one thousand.

You damn fellow, you raised the bid by a thousand times in one go.

Others certainly couldn't adapt to that in an instant.

The scene fell into a dead silence; no one followed up with a bid!

This situation was clearly not what He Pingsheng wanted to see, and using his spiritual sense to transmit to Han Houzhi at the auction wasn't very effective because it was too slow.

There was a delay between the transmission and Han Houzhi calling out the bid, completely missing the rhythm.

Thus, He Pingsheng gritted his teeth, took the bidding paddle from Han Houzhi's hand, held it up toward the void, and shouted: "Two million……"

Swish……

As soon as the words fell, countless gazes turned toward He Pingsheng.

Including Master Tong.

"Heh……" Seeing that it was He Pingsheng who placed the bid, Master Tong was instantly enraged.

This brat!

"Good, good, good……" Master Tong said "good" three times in one breath: "Brat…… you are doing this to spite me on purpose, aren't you?"

He Pingsheng ignored Master Tong and instead asked the auctioneer on stage: "Biyun Xianzi Suya…… does this constitute threatening a bidder?"

Suya took a deep breath: "Everyone, according to the auction rules, no one is allowed to utter threats against any bidder!"

As she spoke, she cast an apologetic look at Master Tong.

"Hmph……" Master Tong snorted coldly and said nothing more.

Because He Pingsheng and Master Tong had been too aggressive with their bidding, no one else followed up afterward.

Moreover, many people were whispering to each other.

"Master Tong has kicked an iron plate this time!"

"Who's to say he hasn't?"

"I knew it at a glance; this brat is just trying to disgust Master Tong on purpose. This guy is likely the young master of some hidden family!"

"Nonsense, if he weren't the young master of a hidden family, who could take out two million in physical spirit gold in one go?"

Amidst the whispers, the auctioneer Suya brought down her hammer: "Very well…… the first Heavenly Ancient Token has been won by this most expensive guest!"

"Congratulations to this guest!"

"Next, we will auction the second one!" Suya said: "The Heavenly Ancient Tokens will not be delivered now; they will be delivered collectively after the auction ends, so please do not be anxious!"

"The second item, same starting price: ten thousand low-tier physical spirit gold, and each increment must not be less than one thousand!"

"Very well, everyone may place your bids!"

Suya gestured with her hand.

"One million!"

This time, without waiting for others to bid, Master Tong, in a fit of rage, directly reported one million.

"Three million!" He Pingsheng made a prompt decision, picked up the paddle in his hand, and reported three million.

Hiss, hiss, hiss……

"Damn……"

"Good fellow……"

"Interesting!"

The entire auction venue immediately erupted in whispers.

Good fellow, he had just successfully bid two million for one Heavenly Ancient Token, and for the second one, he turned around and added another million.

Impressive!

After this, no one followed up at all.

Master Tong's body trembled with rage, yet he could do nothing to He Pingsheng.

After all, this was an auction; although he really wanted to slap He Pingsheng to death, he could only endure it.

"Good, good, good……" Master Tong nodded, gritting his teeth, and said: "Good brat, you are determined to spite me, aren't you?"

He Pingsheng said: "Biyun Xianzi Suya, he is threatening me again!"

Clang……

This time, Suya did not respond; instead, she struck the copper gong below with the wooden hammer in her hand and said: "The second Heavenly Ancient Token auction is successful……"

"Congratulations to this honored guest for obtaining it at the price of three million!"

"We will proceed with the handover after the auction ends later!"

"Very well, everyone, now for the third 【Heavenly Ancient Token】…… same as before…… for the third Heavenly Ancient Token, the starting price is ten thousand low-tier spirit gold, and each increment must not be less than one thousand!"

This time, He Pingsheng did not continue to bid.

Because some things can shock people the first and second time, but if you do it every time, it won't shock anyone anymore.

Strangely, Master Tong did not bid this time either; he was waiting for He Pingsheng.

He even watched He Pingsheng the entire time.

He Pingsheng didn't bid from beginning to end, and he didn't bid either.

Yet, even though neither of these two opened their mouths to bid, the price of the third Heavenly Ancient Token slowly climbed to two million without anyone noticing.

"Two million one hundred thousand!"

"Two million one hundred fifty thousand!"

"Two million two hundred thousand!"

"Two million three hundred thousand!"

Bidding voices rose one after another.

Soon, it broke through two million five hundred thousand again.

Master Tong finally couldn't hold back; with a dark face, he raised the paddle in his hand and directly called out: "Three million!"

He added five hundred thousand in one go.

This time, indeed, no one followed up.

The third Heavenly Ancient Token fell into Master Tong's hands.

Another three million.

Afterward, the price of the fourth one fell back slightly, closing at two million eight hundred thousand.

But by the fifth item, the price surged above three million, closing at three million one hundred thousand.

The prices behind were pushed higher and higher!

It almost never dropped below three million.

The lowest was over three million!

And when only the last few dozen were left, the price was even more ridiculously high, with the final one even selling for the sky-high price of seven million.

"Everyone, our Heavenly Ancient Token auction is complete!"

"Next, please have all honored guests who successfully bid remain behind to settle the items!"

"The remaining guests, please wait outside!"

The crowd left in a flurry.

The vast open-air auction venue was eventually left with a few hundred people.

He Pingsheng and Han Houzhi were naturally among them.

"Hmph……" Master Tong snorted coldly, looking at He Pingsheng, and said: "Good brat, you've got guts…… daring to challenge an old man like me!"

"Which family are you from? Speak up and let me hear it!"

He Pingsheng shook his head: "First, I have no family; I am just a rogue cultivator!"

"Second, this junior was not challenging you; I truly needed two Heavenly Ancient Tokens!"

"Believe it or not, it is up to you!"

"Hmph……" Master Tong snorted coldly again, but at the same time as this cold snort, another attack flew out from his sea of consciousness.

This spiritual sense attack was extremely powerful, reaching the late stage of the Spirit God Realm.

Master Tong's strike was aimed at taking He Pingsheng's life.

And he made no attempt to hide it, directly transforming the formless into the tangible.

Bang……

After this spiritual sense attack arrived, a sharp spiritual sense defense erupted violently from the Heavenly Crown on He Pingsheng's head, shattering Master Tong's attack. ===== CHAPTER 1874 =====
