908: Chapter 208: Jiuli, Can I Try?
Chapter 208
“Indeed, Young Master, you should just give up!” several Elders of the Tian Family said with a shake of their heads and sighs.
Upon hearing this, Tian Yunhao leaned back with a sense of helplessness.
He knew that the Elders were right; if Divine Fire could not open it, even if he bought it, he could only stare at it.
Even if there were treasures inside, he would not be able to get them…
Thinking about it, he speculated that the person on the Fourth Floor might not be able to open it either.
Rather than spending money to buy it and then feel vexed, it would be better to let someone else feel the vexation!
Besides, he mused, when he went out, as long as he could figure out the identity of the person upstairs, it would be easy to obtain it later…
With this thought, Tian Yunhao was no longer as troubled or vexed.
At this moment, the voice of the old man on the stage rang out again, “The VIP private room number three has bid 1,200,000 Dark Stones.
Is there any higher offer?”
“1,200,000 Dark Stones!” The crier’s voice echoed again.
At these words, except for the staff on stage and a few others who remained expressionless, the rest of the crowd was momentarily stunned.
How could the bid be the same twice in a row?
As everyone was in doubt, the old man on the stage explained, “Some of you might not know that in our Underground Market, the VIP private rooms on the Fourth Floor have certain privileges.
If no one outbids the same price, then the guests of the Fourth Floor’s VIP private rooms have the right of first claim on the auctioned item!”
Although the crowd felt this was somewhat improper, no one dared to say anything.
After all, those who could sit in the VIP private rooms of the Fourth Floor must have no ordinary status…
“Alright, the Auction continues.
Does the guest on the third floor want to raise the bid?” the old man asked, looking towards the private room where the Tian family members were.
Although Tian Yunhao was dissatisfied internally, he knew this wasn’t the time to be foolish and said discontentedly, “No more bids!”
“1,200,000 Dark Stones once…”
“1,200,000 Dark Stones twice…”
“1,200,000 Dark Stones thrice…
Sold!” the old man declared with a final bang of the hammer.
The mysterious coffin eventually went to Mo Jiuli…
As the auction below continued, the staff of the Underground Market delivered the coffin Mo Jiuli had won upstairs, without charging her any fee…
After the staff withdrew, Guyan circled the pitch-dark coffin a few times and then asked Mo Jiuli, “Jiuli, may I try?”
Mo Jiuli gave a light smile and nodded.
Seeing this, Guyan summoned his Flame and burned the coffin fiercely.
However, after quite some time, when Guyan retracted the Flame and looked again, the coffin appeared completely unscathed.
He touched the coffin and to his shock, not only was it not even slightly damaged despite the prolonged burning, but it also didn’t retain any heat.
This was just too bizarre…
Not one to give up easily, Guyan took out his Treasure Fan, aimed at a certain part of the coffin, and fanned fiercely, only to hear a ting sound…
Guyan recoiled, stepping back several paces.
He immediately checked his fan for any damage; seeing none, he turned his gaze towards the coffin, only to find no trace of any impact still…
Next, Guyan tried everything from dark energy to Poison, using everything he could for nearly an hour and a half, before he slumped into a chair to the side, exhaustedly telling Mo Jiuli, “Jiuli, I am at my wit’s end!
This is no ordinary coffin, it’s like rotten wood that can’t be carved!”
Mo Jiuli smiled faintly, then with a thought, she stored the coffin away into Space.
Having seen Guyan struggling for a long time outside, Little Lingling and others inside the Space, too, took their turns in challenging the coffin…
