And at a starting bid of 500,000 gold pieces.
Ji Fengyan was shocked at this, but…
Ji Fengyan also noticed that Long Xi had undergone a complete change after the appearance of the Nine Revolutions Soul Return Elixir. It was obvious that Long Xi’s goal at the Xinyue Auction House was that Nine Revolutions Soul Return Elixir.
“You want that elixir?” Ji Fengyan asked.
Long Xi nodded. He never intended to hide that fact from Ji Fengyan. “My mother has not been well the past few years. My father consulted countless great doctors, but to no avail. I want to try to see if that Nine Revolutions Soul Return Elixir can restore my mother’s health.”
Ji Fengyan nodded. As they conversed, the bidding for that elixir had begun.
The 500,000 starting bid for the Nine Revolutions Soul Return Elixir had gone up to one million gold pieces and was still rising. Only after reaching two million did the bidding taper off a little.
Ji Fengyan was amazed by the crowd of people competing tooth and nail for that Nine Revolutions Soul Return Elixir.
“It’s a pity. If only the Tushita Palace was still around, things wouldn’t fall to this.” Long Xi continued to have his servant raise the bid. He was also intensely focused on the bidding competition.
Ji Fengyan felt like laughing when she glanced at Long Xi.
When the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon declared war against Hua Xia, Yichen had transported everything in the Tushita Palace to the Free Valley. The Tushita Palace never disappeared, but had instead moved to Heavenly Courts in the Kingdom of Hua Xia.
However, no one on the outside knew of that.
Quickly, only two bidders were left in the running. One was a much-celebrated Sa Er official, while the other was Long Xi.
Long Xi smiled when he noticed the official discreetly shaking his head as if he didn’t intend to continue bidding.
But then…
“Four million gold pieces.” A voice suddenly rang out.
Long Yue, who had not raised a single bid, abruptly shouted out an exorbitant price.
Long Xi had looked set to win the bid for the Nine Revolutions Soul Return Elixir, but the ownership of that elixir had now become an unknown.
“Why did Long Yue join in the bidding?” Long Xi stared incredulously at his brother’s back profile. He never thought he would eventually compete against his own brother.
Long Xi’s face instantly turned grim.
Ji Fengyan threw a discreet glance at Long Xi’s face before turning her gaze towards Long Yue.
Both Long Xi and Long Yue had no intention of giving up. As the bidding continued to rise, Long Xi’s expression became increasingly grim.
Long Xi stopped breathing when he heard that four million bid.
3.5 million gold pieces was his limit.
Long Xi had been using his own financial resources to help the citizens suffering at the borders. The 3.5 million gold pieces were the last of his money, which he had specially reserved to bid for the Nine Revolutions Soul Return Elixir for his mother.
However, Long Yue maintained his usual smile as he bid above that sum. Long Xi clenched his fists quietly.
“Never mind.” Long Xi took a deep breath and smiled helplessly.
He was not fated to own the Nine Revolutions Soul Return Elixir.
“What’s the matter?” Ji Fengyan asked. She had noticed that Long Xi didn’t seem like he was going to continue bidding.
Long Xi gave a bitter smile. “My limit is 3.5 million gold pieces. I cannot fork out anymore.”
