Adding to the Frustration Chapter 211
The bidding voices overlapped one after another, making for a lively scene that left Guyan dumbfounded, while Mo Jiuli was quite pleased…
It had continued for more than an hour, with the bidding voices dwindling from the First Floor until only a few private rooms on the third floor were still competing!
Among them, the private room belonging to the Artifact Refining Alliance, where Elder Liu persistently followed close behind…
After all, when it came to money, neither the Alchemy Alliance nor the Artifact Refining Alliance were lacking!
In the end, there was only one other private room whose guest was still in competition with Elder Liu…
The price had been driven up from 10,000 dark stones to 3.2 million dark stones!
“Lord, if you are not an artifact refiner, I hope you can let me have this Life Spiritual Grass!
I can owe you a favor,” Elder Liu’s voice, imbued with dark energy, resounded after the other guest made a bid.
Now, in the entire Auction House, only the person in the private room two doors from his own was still vying with him for the Life Spiritual Grass—he was determined to get it!
Hence, he attempted to negotiate…
“Elder Liu, I am sorry, but I am also an artifact refiner, and this Life Spiritual Grass is something I must have,” an aged voice came from the opposing private room.
This voice was different from the bidding voice heard before, which had been a young woman’s.
Now, it was an old man speaking!
As the other’s words settled, Elder Liu’s face instantly changed…
Others might not recognize whose voice it was, but he knew it all too well—it was none other than his own half-brother, Liu Tao!
The hatred between the two was unfathomable and complex…
Elder Liu was the Great Elder of the Haotian City Artifact Refining Alliance, known as Liu Bei, while the speaker, the old man called Liu Tao, was likewise the Fifth Elder of the Haotian City Artifact Refining Alliance…
Liu Bei had not known that Liu Tao had also come to Hanlin City; he had thought he was the only one from their alliance who had come!
Now it seemed that getting Liu Tao to give up the Life Spiritual Grass was impossible…
He could only hope to buy it at a high price, and even if he could not purchase it, he was determined to severely trick Liu Tao—such were Liu Bei’s thoughts…
On the other hand, Elder Liu Tao harbored the same sentiments.
He and Liu Bei had an irreconcilable enmity, and if their power hadn’t been so evenly matched on all fronts, they would have fought to the death long ago!
However, not being able to defeat his opponent didn’t mean he couldn’t find other ways to aggravate Liu Bei…
For instance, the Life Spiritual Grass at stake—he wanted it, but it wasn’t an absolute necessity.
But if it was something Liu Bei wanted, he would certainly intervene, even if he couldn’t outbid him, he intended to seriously hinder him…
It’s true what they say: the environment shapes the mind.
Even if they weren’t blood brothers, the resemblance in their thinking, perhaps due to living together for so long, was uncannily identical…
It was yet to be seen who would outsmart the other in the end!
Liu Bei genuinely wanted the Life Spiritual Grass, so he kept bidding systematically even knowing that Liu Tao would cause trouble…
With Liu Tao’s involvement, getting the Life Spiritual Grass cheaply was out of the question!
But Liu Bei was relatively rational; he had decided to wear Liu Tao down slowly, aiming to spend as little money as possible to acquire the Life Spiritual Grass, as long as it was within a price he could afford…
In terms of composure, Liu Bei was slightly more mature!
Liu Tao, fixated on ruining Liu Bei, was calling bids without hesitation because the current price had already made him lose interest in the Life Spiritual Grass…
Right now, he was earnestly adding trouble for Liu Bei.
“5 million dark stones…”
“5.1 million dark stones…”
