Qin Chen had no idea about the specific price of the Black Smoke Cloud Dark Stone, so he could only clasp his fists and say, “I obtained this Black Smoke Cloud Dark Stone by chance. Today, since everyone is here, I want to sell it for a good price. As for the price, I will not state it myself. Everyone can make an offer; I will only sell it to the highest bidder, and only for middle-grade cosmic crystals.”
“I offer three hundred middle-grade cosmic crystals.”
As soon as Qin Chen finished speaking, someone immediately made a bid.
Qin Chen was pleasantly surprised. He hadn’t expected the price of the Black Smoke Cloud Dark Stone to be so precious, with the first offer being three hundred middle-grade cosmic crystals, which was even more than he had originally imagined.
He was satisfied regardless of whether anyone would bid higher.
However, before that voice completely faded, someone next to him sneered, “A mere three hundred middle-grade cosmic crystals dares to buy the Black Smoke Cloud Dark Stone? I offer five hundred middle-grade cosmic crystals…”
“Wait, I offer six hundred.” A cold voice interrupted the discussions around.
Everyone looked up and saw a slender man with piercing eyes walking over.
Upon seeing this person, the expressions of those nearby revealed a hint of fear.
“It’s the Black Hawk Law King!”
“He’s actually here.”
“This person is rumored to be extremely ruthless; it’s better not to compete with him.”
Many people whispered among themselves, stepping aside to make way.
“Everyone, this Black Smoke Cloud Dark Stone has already caught my eye,” said the Black Hawk Law King.
After speaking, he coldly scanned the others around him, and those who had previously made bids lowered their heads under his fierce gaze.
The Black Hawk Law King was a madman; offending such a powerful figure over a Black Smoke Cloud Dark Stone was entirely unnecessary.
“Here’s six hundred middle-grade cosmic crystals; bring me the Black Smoke Cloud Dark Stone.”
The Black Hawk Law King took out a storage ring and said coldly, his eyes fixated on Qin Chen, his gaze sharp as a knife.
Qin Chen frowned; the man's gaze made him uncomfortable. However, it was a bidding situation where the highest price wins, and Qin Chen wouldn’t challenge him over such a trivial matter.
Obtaining the middle-grade cosmic crystals was the right path.
Just as Qin Chen was preparing to make the transaction...
“I offer one thousand middle-grade cosmic crystals.”
A detached voice came from a man wearing a face covering, whose cultivation level was indistinct as he stepped forward with a bid of one thousand.
Whether the Black Smoke Cloud Dark Stone was worth one thousand middle-grade cosmic crystals was hard to say, but everyone understood that anyone daring to snatch something from the Black Hawk Law King was certainly not simple.
Qin Chen took one look at the man and knew that his cultivation had definitely reached the half-step transcendence pinnacle, just one step away from fully transcending. He was already very satisfied with one thousand middle-grade cosmic crystals and had no desire to continue the bidding.
However, the Black Hawk Law King’s expression immediately darkened as he looked at the man and said coldly, “Friend, are you refusing to give me, the Black Hawk Law King, face?”
“Face?”
The man with the black mask coldly glanced at the Black Hawk Law King and sneered, “Face is earned by oneself, not given by others. If you have the ability, bid higher; otherwise, shut up.”
“You…”
The Black Hawk Law King’s face darkened, and a terrifying aura surged from him. The masked man remained indifferent, disdainfully glancing at the Black Hawk Law King, and similarly released a terrifying aura. The two forces violently collided in the void, creating a terrifying storm.
The Black Hawk Law King frowned, clearly sensing that this person wasn’t simple. He turned to Qin Chen and said coldly, “Sir, I made my bid first. If you trust me, I’m also willing to offer one thousand middle-grade cosmic crystals. However, I currently do not have that many middle-grade cosmic crystals on me. I can give them to you later, and even add a few more.”
