But now, looking at it, good grief!
The price of this first lot was already climbing toward a hundred thousand immortal crystals, and it looked like it could jump even higher.
The Fortune-Breaking Pill he needed to secure was likely a much more significant item, and the level of attention it received would certainly be different. His own million immortal crystals might not guarantee a win after all.
Mei Changhai sat to the side, completely dumbfounded. Was this what the world of the wealthy was like? Just throwing around tens or hundreds of thousands of crystals without a second thought? Mei Changhai felt a bit dizzy. He realized he might have been poor for too long; he simply couldn't fathom the mindset of these rich people. Didn't they feel the sting of spending so many crystals? Back home, spending thirty thousand on a sect-protecting array had made him ache for days, so much so that he couldn't even focus on his cultivation.
Meanwhile, the auction continued. It wasn't until someone shouted "Two hundred thousand immortal crystals!" that the bidding finally leveled off.
"This honorable guest bids two hundred thousand. Any higher?"
"Going once at two hundred thousand!"
"Going twice at two hundred thousand!"
"Sold at two hundred thousand!"
