Martial Master

Chapter 384: The Setup šŸ”

Published: November 30, -0001

At this moment, Qin Chen couldn't care less about why others wanted to auction this flame, nor did he care whether this flame was truly the Qinglian Demon Fire.

All he had in mind was to secure this flame at the auction.

He had a feeling that this Qinglian Blood Spiritual Fire could definitely remove his Hundred Ghosts Curse.

Three million?

When Qin Chen's bid came out, everyone in the room was stunned, each of them nearly dumbfounded.

Was Master Qin Chen really here to auction, not to cause trouble?

A Blood Spiritual Fire, which he didnā€™t even know what type of异ē« it was, even if it was above fourth grade, was it really necessary to start at such a high bid of three million?

You must know this was the very first bid, and it was without a reserve price.

Three million; in the entire auction house, apart from a few major families, no one else could afford such a price.

Many martial artists who were initially interested in the Blood Spiritual Fire and were preparing to auction were now almost going crazy, feeling so frustrated that they were about to vomit blood.

Encountering such an irrational character and so wealthy, what could they do? Besides silently watching the bidding, they had no choice but to quietly watch the counter-offers.

"Three million one hundred thousand!"

Just as the venue fell into silence, a cold snort resonated. In the four-star VIP area, Zhu Hongzhi spoke coldly.

He was well aware that Qin Chen was originally an alchemist and must have an intense desire for this Blood Spiritual Fire. Although he felt that three million was already a very high price, deep down, he did not want Qin Chen to easily win the auction.

"Seems the Zhu family has clashed with Master Qin Chen?"

"Is that even a question? The Liu Pavilion that Master Qin Chen previously destroyed had deep ties with the Zhu family. The Zhu family even went to demand justice but was directly driven out by Master Qin Chen, losing face. How could the Zhu family not hate him? They just haven't found the opportunity until now."

"It looks like the Zhu family doesn't want Master Qin Chen to get this mysterious异ē«, thus they are attempting to sabotage."

"Four million."

Facing the provocation from the Zhu family, Qin Chen remained indifferent, not taking it to heart but directly raising his bid by one million again.

Wow!

The crowd nearly went crazy, the entire auction house was almost shaken to the roof by the uproar.

What did they just hear?

Four million?

Had Master Qin Chen ever participated in an auction before? Thereā€™s no way to bid like he does!

Others usually raise the price by tens of thousands, which is already quite bold, and he, on the other hand, raised it by a full million.

Thatā€™s one million! Even a small family like the Xu family would struggle to come up with a million.

"Four million one hundred thousand."

Zhu Hongzhi gritted his teeth, coldly snorting again, adding another hundred thousand on top of Qin Chen's bid.

At this price point, even he Zhu Hongzhi had to be cautious, feeling anxious. If the Zhu family came up with over four million silver coins, their entire industrial chain would face a funding shortage, causing a massive impact.

But if Qin Chen won so easily at this price, where would the Zhu family's face go?

"Five million!"

Qin Chen raised his bid again, adding another million.

Boom!

The crowd exploded, nearly losing their minds.

What does wealth and audacity mean? This is what true wealth and audacity look like! Five million! Normally, this price is hardly seen, and it would only rarely appear at the grand auction held by the Tianxing Commerce every few years.

However, the one bidding this price, Qin Chen, spoke in a calm tone, completely disregarding the bidding from the Zhu family, exuding an overwhelming attitude.

This left everyone speechless, each person thoroughly stunned, unable to comment, and they didnā€™t know what to say anymore.

To ordinary people, even a fourth-grade异ē« was worth at most two to three million silver coins. This Blood Spiritual Fire, even if somewhat special, wouldnā€™t exceed three million silver coins.
