1235: C1235 Buy Gold Scroll

C1235 Buy Gold Scroll

"120 million gold was a bit too much. I won't fight with you over the Ji Clan's old man. Anyway, someone from my Huangfu Clan has already bought two golden paper scrolls from the Prodigious Star Arena." Huangfu Qi said with a smile.

"Then let's not fight anymore. How boring!"

The old man's tone was slightly disappointed.

Seeing this, the auctioneer smiled and said, "The guest in private room number 2 has bid one hundred and twenty million. Does anyone else wish to bid?"

The auction place was deathly silent. The old man was slightly disappointed as he said, "120 million going once, 120 million going twice, 120 million going thrice. Done!"

"121 million!"

At this moment, a voice interrupted the old man's words. The hammer that the old man had picked up had stopped in midair.

"The guest in room number 5 has bid one hundred twenty-two million." The elder said awkwardly. Everyone else had offered five million and ten million.

The Sky No. 5 box!

Everyone frowned.

Everyone in the Tripod Star knew that the Sky No. 2 to No. 4 rooms belonged to the three great families, while the Sky No. 1 room belonged to either the City Lord or the Star Lord.

And the five to nine numbers all came from the City Lord of his own city.

"Who is this? Is it the City Lord of Maple Forest or the City Lord of Black Martial City? He can't be the new City Lord of Hexi City, right?"

"It's very possible. I heard that the new City Lord of Heshai City has also arrived at the auction house."

"If you put it this way, then it might very well be him. However, I heard that he hasn't bought Heshai City yet. At this time, he's still spending a huge sum to buy the Nine Revolutions Golden Scroll."

Everyone began to discuss while the private room on the third floor became quiet.

"Haha, if my guess is correct, this person should be the new City Lord of Hexi City, right? What, City Lord Su is very rich?" The old man from the Ji Clan laughed.

"Don't worry, I have the money." Su Jue laughed.

"That's true. You spent one billion to redeem the body of that lass from the Qing Clan. That bit of money is naturally enough. However, I'm very curious, do you still have the money to buy the city?" The Ji family elder mocked.

Su Jue laughed blandly, "There's no need for you to care about that. Increase the price, I am determined to get this gold scroll."

He had to get it.

Everyone frowned. Normally, those who would say such words in the auction would be tricked to death by their opponents.

"You want it? Then I want to see how you want it. Fifteen million." The Ji Clan elder's words shocked everyone.

"One million." Su Jue immediately said.

"Humph!"

The old man of the Ji family sneered, "200 million, if you have the ability, keep adding."

"Another million." Su Jue said indifferently.

"You!"

The old man from the Ji family was completely enraged. The gold scroll he bought was truly for collection. It was a luxurious hobby that only the master of the Ji family could own.

However, the Ji Clan did not belong to him alone. If he increased the price willfully, he might not even be able to become the clan head in the end.

"You are ruthless, kid. But I don't think you can take out 200 million." The Ji Clan elder questioned.

"Being able to take out 200 million has nothing to do with you." Su Jue laughed.

"Is that so?" The Ji Clan's old man sneered, "Old Man Yang, I know this kid has no money, don't be tricked by him."

The old man on the stage smiled, "The Ji Clan is too much of a joke. Since we let City Lord Su participate in the auction, we naturally already know about it. City Lord Su has the ability to purchase this Nine Revolutions Golden Scroll."

With that, the elder scanned the crowd and said loudly, "The price of room number 5 is two hundred million spirit stones, is there anyone else willing to raise the price?"

The auction house became silent. It was obvious that no one wanted to raise the bid anymore.

The sound of the hammer rang out. Su Jue had successfully won five of the nine cycle gold scroll with two hundred and one million.

The rest of the items appeared ordinary, but this was also a convention in the auction house.

Generally speaking, the first item would be the most expensive, especially the most expensive one.

"City Lord."

After approximately an incense's time, there was a knock on the door. When Qing Kui opened the door, the only person who came was the tall girl from before.

"Come in." Su Jue laughed.

"City Lord, this is the fifth of your Nine Revolutions Golden Scroll, please accept it." The young girl bent down and placed the item on the table.

Su Jue nodded and took out a Great Wall Golden Brick from his storage ring, "Thank you."

The girl was stunned, "This is the Great Wall's golden brick?"

"Yes, take it. Remember not to reveal your wealth." Su Jue laughed.

"Many thanks City Governor Su."

Although she had received quite a few tips over the decades that she had worked at the auction house, it was still the first time that she had obtained such a valuable item.

"You're welcome, we're all Ascendants, it's not easy for you." Su Jue laughed.

The young lady nodded and turned back to look at Su Jue when she left.

"Su Jue, you are really merciful in every way." Qing Kui shook his head.

"Why am I being merciful? A single golden brick shouldn't be enough, right?" Su Jue laughed.

"It's not just a piece of the Great Wall, but your last sentence. You don't know how hard it is to hear in this cruel world." Qing Kui sighed.

looked at Qing Kui, the longer a person lived, the more emotionless they would become, especially those who had lived for tens of thousands of years. As their old friends left one after another, they no longer had any concerns in this world, even if they had children and grandchildren, they would still feel very little, only their rights and power.

The auction continued all the way until the afternoon when Su Jue finally received the final item.

"Next up, we will rest for the time it takes to burn an incense stick. After that time, we will begin the auction for the first item to be auctioned off." After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and left the auction platform.

Su Jue wanted to take this opportunity to take a good look at the Nine Revolutions Golden Scroll, but the door was knocked again. He opened the door and found that it was actually a member of Huangfu Clan.

"Su Jue, right?" A person with the word "Huangfu" embroidered on his sleeves looked at Su Jue and said.

"What's the matter?" Su Jue laughed.

"Our Patriarch invites you. Follow me." The person said coldly.

"I have the money to go with you," Su Jue laughed, "If your family's master sees me, I'll let him come here. If he wants me to go, I'm not free."1

"Hmm?"

The person frowned, and spoke in a stern voice: "Su Jue, do you know who our Patriarch is, and what your identity is?"

"I don't know who he is. I only know that you, a mere Elemental War God, will immediately disappear if you continue to act presumptuously in front of me." A cold look flashed past Su Jue's eyes.

"You!"

The person retreated a few steps. As the person next to the Huangfu Clan Patriarch, he was used to overbearing attitude, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him would completely not give face to the Huangfu Clan.

What Su Jue had said to him, who was an Elemental Martial Immortal, was just a joke in front of the City Lord level.

Su Jue, our Patriarch said that with your status, you cannot afford this city. He can give you the one billion gold coins you gave to the Huangfu family, and you giving this city back to us is our greatest concession.

"No need, I'll tell your Patriarch, I'm taking River Sun City for sure." Su Jue said coldly, then impatiently closed the door and left.
