Ji Xinghuo found a spot to sit down in the grand hall of the Rare Treasures Auction House and frequently glanced up at the screen.
The bidding for the Fungal Giant Incarnation was still climbing.
The incrents were slight, with each new bid only adding one Ether Crystal, but after several rounds, it reached 50 Ether Crystals.
"Fifty crystals!"
Ji Xinghuo himself was sowhat incredulous.
This would be equivalent to ten billion Ya Yuan on Earth. At first, to obtain the gene recombination of a Star-falling Species, the total value he paid to his teammates did not even reach ten billion, and now the worth of an Alien Species Incarnation had already surpassed that.
Looking at it this way, this Fungal Giant Alien Species Incarnation was considered, in the eyes of those who needed it, equivalent to a Star-falling Species!
At this mont, he heard the discussions of the people beside him.
"The quality of the Alien Species is too good!"
"Yes!"
"It’s been many years since I’ve seen such a high-quality Fungal Giant Incarnation, five abilities, not one of which is useless, and it even includes two Transcendent Species."
"It must be from a Catastrophe-Level Fungal Giant."
"Who knows who would be willing to auction it off? It’s a pity my Ether Crystals are not enough, otherwise, I would also want to try my luck."
Ji Xinghuo listened to the people around him; most were discussing the Fungal Giant Incarnation.
Everyone was astonished.
An Alien Species of such high quality, rareness not much less than that of a Star-falling Species, would only appear once every few years even in the Rare Treasures Auction House.
If handled well, it could sell for several tis the price.
Of course, not everyone agreed; the Fusion Success Rate of Incarnation Species was very low, far below that of ordinary species, not worth the high price.
Ji Xinghuo listened quietly, not joining in.
Although selling off this Incarnation Species was sowhat hasty, he had no use for the item himself, so he would not regret turning it into sufficient Ether Crystals.
On the screen, the current bid stopped at 55 Ether Crystals, then remained static for a long ti.
The auction countdown continued.
Ji Xinghuo was not in a hurry; the Rare Treasures Auction House had a pattern where hotly contested treasures invariably saw a surge in bids before the auction deadline. Real bidders often started with tentative offers.
Before the end of the auction ti, there would surely be a spate of intense competition.
Even a last-mont bid could seal the deal!
Ji Xinghuo went back to the hotel to sleep, and when he woke up, he took out his Eternal Day Badge to check the auction information. Five Star Tis remained, and the current price of the Incarnation Species was 58 Ether Crystals, not much higher than before.
He calmly washed up, ate a al, and then entered the hotel’s Cultivation Room.
In half a Star Realm Month on Earth Abyss Star, he hardly practiced at all, so his Star Power increased very little. Now, back in Eternal Day City, he could not slack off.
Imrsed in cultivation for several hours, the auction ti entered the final ten minutes.
Only then did Ji Xinghuo return to the Rare Treasures Auction House.
He looked up and saw on the screen: "Current price: 63 Ether Crystals, remaining ti: 8 Star Monts 46 Star Breaths."
In the auction hall, most people were watching the screen, their gazes fixed on the Incarnation Species line of information.
As ti dwindled, the atmosphere in the auction grew more heated.
"The last Star Mont!"
Soone shouted loudly, and almost at the sa ti, the bid for the Incarnation Species jumped from 63 to 75 Ether Crystals!
This bidder increased the price by 12 Ether Crystals in one fell swoop, a larger margin than the entire seven or eight hours prior.
Yet, the highest bid imdiately changed again.
80 Ether Crystals.
It only lasted a couple of seconds before another bid was placed, raising it to 81 Ether Crystals.
83, 85, 88...
Every few seconds, the current price would increase, and when there were just 30 Star Breaths left, the price reached 90 Ether Crystals!
No further bids ca for a while.
However, everyone in the hall knew this was not the end. The vast auction hall quieted down, everyone intently staring at the screen, even holding their breath, as they watched the countdown at 10 Star Breaths, 10, 9, 8... In the final 3 Star Breaths, the price suddenly changed.
And in those two to three seconds, the current price changed several tis.
Finally, the auction ti was up.
Current price: 120 Ether Crystals!
An outburst of astonishnt erupted in the auction hall, and the bustling discussions were akin to a marketplace. People envied the selling of a Transcendent Species for such an astronomical figure, so thought it unworthy, and the noise resembled a marketplace.
Ji Xinghuo stood among the crowd, expressionless, appearing just like an ordinary Highlander.
But inside, he was as surprised as everyone else.
120 Ether Crystals!
This price far exceeded his expectations and did so by several tis.
In the last two or three seconds of the auction, he witnessed the several price changes clearly. The penultimate bid was 100 Ether Crystals, and the final bidder who won increased the bid by 20 Ether Crystals, showing a strong determination to obtain the Incarnation Species.
Ji Xinghuo speculated that there must have been only two people truly interested in the Incarnation Species.
It was these two who were competing all along.
If there had been only one interested party, the final transaction price would certainly not have been so high. But with two engaging in fierce competition, it turned out to be to his advantage.
"I’m rich!"
Ji Xinghuo took out his Eternal Day Badge to check and found that the Ether Crystals had already been credited to his account.
After deducting the service fee, his account at the Rare Treasures Auction House had 108 Ether Crystals, available for withdrawal or for bidding on other treasures.
As for the Incarnation Species, the winner of the auction had to collect it in person.
There was no need for the seller and buyer to interact.
This ensured the utmost security for both the consignors and the bidders’ information, avoiding many mishaps, and was one of the reasons why the Rare Treasures Auction House was trusted by all.
