At the same time, Lin Yi spoke calmly, his voice hoarse and a little deep.

"Are you crazy? It's just a queen bee at the fifth level of Qi training. Do you need to pay such a high price?

Even if the fire poisonous bees are cultivated to the late stage of Qi training, in order to achieve real lethality, at least a large number of bee colonies must be formed."

In the box on the second floor, a middle-aged man with a seemingly honest face glanced at the box where Ji Yi was and raised his hand.

"2,700 low-grade spiritual stones."

In an instant, a powerful voice came from the box on the second floor.

"2,700 low-grade spiritual stones, the second time."

"2,700 low-grade spiritual stones, the third time."

After Xiao Yunzi finished speaking on the auction stage, the monk who had previously been arguing with Ji Yi slowly let out a breath.

The technique he practices is special and can quickly breed these kinds of Gu insects.

However, the price increase just now was also his final test.

If the person in the box on the third floor spoke again and increased the price to 3,000 low-grade spiritual stones, he would have no choice but to grit his teeth and give up.

"Fortunately, this person did not increase the price."

Watching a maid in a blue dress take the spirit beast bag containing the Fire Poison Queen Bee and the Worker Bee into the box, the middle-aged monk breathed an inexplicable sigh of relief and waited for the next auction item.

"4500 low-grade spiritual stones, a black iron puppet with tenth level of Qi training, first time."

"4800 low-grade spiritual stones."

"For 4,800 low-grade spiritual stones, are there any fellow Taoists who can offer a higher price than this?"

On the stage, Xiao Yunzi shouted excitedly.

"5,200 low-grade spiritual stones."

"Is this person trying to raise the price on purpose?"

As one auction item after another continued to appear, amidst the bidding sounds one after another, the middle-aged monk looked at the box with which he had previously competed for the Fire Venom Bee in astonishment.

This person will speak almost every second or third auction item.

However, it often stops suddenly after speaking once or twice.

In this way, the auction items that should not be so high were worth hundreds of spiritual stones for nothing.

"Based on this person's previous style, I'm afraid he won't bid again now."

Thinking of this, the middle-aged monk who took the picture of the Fire Venomous Bee said with a strange look on his face.

"5,200 low-grade spiritual stones. Deal!"

Sure enough, until Xiao Yunzi's final word came down on the auction stage, the person in the box on the third floor never spoke again.

"Senior, after bidding on four auction items, some people think that we have raised the price.

Next, the juniors think it’s time to ‘frustrate’ a little once or twice, so that they can meet the expectations of the seniors.”

In the box, Chen Yu looked at Lin Yi and said slowly.

"Um."

Lin Yi nodded.

The first step of the strategy can be regarded as an initial success. As for whether it is really effective, it will depend on the following auction items.

While the two were discussing, the eighteenth auction item appeared on the auction stage.

"This object is called Lei Yuanzhu, and it was refined by an unknown foundation-building senior who collected the thunder energy of Tiangang.

Qi-training monks will definitely die if they fight head-on, but foundation-building monks will suffer heavy losses if they are not careful."

"One Lei Yuan Pearl, the starting price is 1,800 low-grade spiritual stones, and each increase in price shall not be less than 200 low-grade spiritual stones."

As soon as these words came out, all the monks in the audience subconsciously raised their heads and glanced at the box where Ji Yi was.

"2000 low-grade spiritual stones."

After a brief moment of silence, a deep voice came from the private room on the second floor.

"2500 low-grade spiritual stones."

Ji Yi put down the wine glass in his hand and said calmly.

He had purchased this Lei Yuan Pearl in the Treasure Pavilion more than a year ago, and the price was around 2,200 low-grade spiritual stones.

At that time, the steward Liu Yongyuan also swore that there would not be a second one in Xianyuan City, but now it seems that he does not know whether it is true or not.

However, the power of this Lei Yuan Pearl is quite impressive. The one in the storage bag has been regarded as a trump card by Ji Yi and has not been used yet.

Since he was going to be "cheated" a little bit, Lin Yi didn't mind being on top of this thing.

"Come again."

Seeing the people in the private room on the third floor who were eager to raise prices speak again, some monks in the hall suddenly showed smiles as if they were watching a good show.

Although they also covet this thing, since they can't afford it, they don't mind watching these big shots compete.

Speaking of which, this big shot in the box on the third floor had raised his price several times before. Even if he hadn't shown his appearance yet, he had already offended a lot of people.

"2,700 low-grade spiritual stones."

At this time, an indifferent word came from the box on the second floor.

"Senior, I am the person who just fought with you for that iron puppet."

Hearing this voice, Chen Yu immediately reminded Lin Yi.

"2900 low-grade spiritual stones."

Ji Yi nodded, and he naturally recognized the other party's voice.

Seeing the people in the box on the third floor speaking decisively, the monk who had previously auctioned the iron puppet had a trace of sarcasm on his lips and was about to speak immediately.

"Mr. Zhao, the market price of Lei Yuanzhu is only 2,200 low-grade spiritual stones.

If you open your mouth, that person suddenly becomes silent.

3,100 low-grade spiritual stones may not be a big deal, but it may affect the item you compete for next."

Just when Zhao Qi was about to speak, a follower on the side reminded him.

"Is it possible for this guy to take a photo of this thing so easily?"

After hearing these words, Zhao Qi said in a deep voice.

As one of the seven major immortal cultivating families in Yunzhou, his Zhao family has more than 3,000 low-grade spiritual stones, which is not enough for him to swallow this breath.

"Mr. Zhao, why did you choose the box on the second floor instead of the box on the third or fourth floor?"

Facing Zhao Qi's gaze, the elderly follower did not directly contradict him, but spoke calmly.

"The Dark Iron Puppet's ability to block the full blow of the monks in the early stages of foundation building has already attracted some of your attention."

"Pour the wine."

Hearing these words, Mr. Zhao snorted coldly and said to the beautiful maid beside him.

"Let him go this time. If I let this young master know who he is, he will definitely be killed."

Zhao Qi didn't say much else, he just raised his head and took a sip of wine with a fierce look on his face.

"3200 low-grade spiritual stones."

Just when Zhao Qi was about to continue speaking, a faint voice came from the box on the third floor.

But it's not the box that had the price raised before, but the box on the other side.

"Hahaha, you deserve it."

After hearing this, Zhao Qi said excitedly after a brief confirmation.

"3200 low-grade spiritual stones, the first time."

"3200 low-grade spiritual stones, the second time."

"Uncle Lie, it seems you are right, that guy is deliberately raising the price."

Seeing that the box where Lin Yi was sitting was silent for a long time, Zhao Qi, who took a sip of wine, seemed to suddenly have an idea, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Just when everyone thought that Lin Yi would not bid again, and even Xiao Yunzi on the auction stage announced the buyer, suddenly a faint voice came again.

"3500 low-grade spiritual stones."

"This guy actually spoke again."

Looking at the box where Ji Yi was, Zhao Qi narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice.

"It seems that this person should be a monk in the Qi training period, and he needs something with strong lethality at this time."

"That should be the case, but he met Young Master You, so after losing the Black Iron Puppet, he didn't want to miss the Thunder Yuan Pearl again."

"Although the Thunder Pearl is good, even a black iron puppet that can be used as a foundation-building monk's attack may be destroyed by this Thunder Pearl if you are not careful.
