At that moment, a yellow light flashed across the auction stage. Lynn glanced up at Evan Chu's room before announcing, "VIP Room Three has bid one hundred thousand Starstones. Is there anyone who wishes to offer more than one hundred thousand?"
The crowd below immediately grew excited, and many people began to chatter among themselves.
"VIP Room Three actually bought that useless Soul Snow Grass? Are they out of their minds?"
"Room Three really does things differently. Maybe they've just got too many Starstones and nowhere to spend them!"
...
"The final winner of the Soul Snow Grass is the guest in VIP Room Three! Now, moving on to the next auction item: two exceptionally powerful crystals—an Ice Crystal and a Fire Crystal, both consigned by Lyric Hall! The energy attributes contained within these crystals are extremely rare treasures for cultivators who have comprehended the water or fire element. They might even help you break through to the next realm in one leap!"
The starting price for the Ice Crystal is one hundred fifty thousand Starstones, with each raise no less than twenty thousand. The Fire Crystal starts at two hundred thousand Starstones, with each raise no less than thirty thousand. We'll begin with the Ice Crystal auction now."
Lynn displayed both the Ice Crystal and Fire Crystal for everyone to see, then placed them into a specially designed container.
The appearance of the Ice Crystal and Fire Crystal was like dropping a bomb, instantly pushing the auction's atmosphere to its peak.
For a moment, bids poured in from all directions, and the price quickly soared to two hundred fifty thousand Starstones.
Gavin Wei’s heart was pounding with excitement. He glanced at the absent-minded Evan Chu and said, “Evan, did you see that? Those are Ice Crystals and Fire Crystals! Both are insanely rare. I wonder who managed to get their hands on such treasures. That’s just wild.”
Evan Chu shot Gavin a look and chuckled, “It’s just a couple of lousy crystals. What’s the big deal? If I wanted, I could grab a whole handful anytime.”
Gavin wasn’t even surprised. He figured Evan was just bragging. “Evan, you shouldn’t throw around wild claims like that. If you get caught bluffing, the consequences aren’t pretty.”
“Oh really? Take a look at this.” Evan casually pulled out his largest Ice Crystal from his storage ring, and instantly the temperature in the room dropped sharply.
Gavin stared at the Ice Crystal in Evan’s hand for a long moment before finally stammering, “Is that… is that really an Ice Crystal?”
“Obviously! Didn’t you feel how cold it got in here? What, are you so shocked you’ve gone dumb?” Evan snorted and put the Ice Crystal back into his storage ring.
“Evan, how do you have an Ice Crystal? Wait—are those crystals on the auction block yours too?” Gavin asked in disbelief.
“Who else could have treasures like these besides me?” Evan said with a sly grin.
Gavin saw the smile on Evan’s face and suddenly understood, “So the Fire Crystal is yours too?”
“That’s right. Surprised? I told you, I’m not short on Starstones. I told you to buy, but you didn’t listen. Missed your chance, huh!” Evan finished speaking and produced a Fire Crystal in his hand.
