Suddenly, a voice came from outside, “Five hundred Xuanling Stones!”
Gu Qingluan’s eyebrows raised.
d.a.m.n it! Was someone interested in the Chaos Stone?
The auction hall erupted into a commotion.
“Five hundred Xuanling Stones! Why such a sudden increase?”
“Could this black stone be extraordinary?”
“All, didn’t Lu Yao mention it? This stone is incredibly hard, impervious to water and fire. It must have an extraordinary origin.”
“Well, I’ll place a bid too, maybe I’ll get lucky and find out the mystery of the stone.”
“Tsk, it’s probably too late for you now.”
With the bid of five hundred Xuanling Stones, the atmosphere became heated, akin to oil in a frying pan.
“Six hundred Xuanling Stones!”
“I bid seven hundred!”
“Eight hundred!”
The guests who were previously observing all started to raise their bids.
Gu Qingluan was secretly annoyed.
Who was the idiot who suddenly increased the bid by so much?
Now it would be a fierce compet.i.tion for the Chaos Stone.
She watched helplessly as the price soared rapidly, quickly reaching three thousand Xuanling Stones.
From a hundred to three thousand, it had increased thirty-fold!
Then the pace gradually slowed down.
Inside a VIP room, Gu Zhixin shook his head and advised, “Let’s refrain from further partic.i.p.ation. We are uncertain of the stone’s value and spending such a large sum may prove fruitless. What’s more, we should reserve our funds for bidding on the Ninth-Grade Spirit Pills later. It would be imprudent to exhaust our resources here, only to find ourselves lacking later on.”
Gu Jinrong nodded. “Father is right.”
Many of the VIP guests who came for the Ninth-Grade Spirit Pills shared similar thoughts with Gu Zhixin and his son.
In the end, only three or four people remained in the compet.i.tion for the Chaos Stone.
Gu Qingluan’s attention was fixed on the man who bid five hundred Xuanling Stones.
While others were following the trend, this particular man intrigued Gu Qingluan because she couldn’t quite figure him out.
She was unsure if he recognized the Chaos Stone.
If he did, he would undoubtedly spare no expense to acquire it.
“Mother, what is the use of that stone? Do you truly desire it?” Feng Yuanxi sat beside her, sensing her tension.
It was a rare sight.
Normally, his mother was always composed and calm, strategizing with ease. This was the first time he had seen her discomposed.
“That stone is called the Chaos Stone which contains a unique energy that aligns with the cultivation method 1 practice. 1 truly need it,” Gu Qingluan softly replied.
She didn’t hide anything from her son.
“Mother, does it require a lot of money to win the bid? I have money, and I’ll give it all to you!”
Gu Qingluan was amused by her son’s words. “You would give me all your money?”
“I don’t know how much I have, but it seems like quite a lot,” Feng Yuanxi scratched his head. “What’s mine is Mother’s. If you need it, take it.”
Could Gu Qingluan not know how much money he had?
That amount of money was inconsequential to her current situation.
However, her son’s filial heart brought her joy. She reached out and ruffled his head. “No need, keep your money to buy yourself some snacks.”
“I don’t need snacks. I’ll give all my money to you, Mother.”
Feng Yuanxi took out a card from his storage s.p.a.ce and handed it to her. “Mother, you can use this!”
He only had this much on him, as the rest was managed by Jing Feng.
Feng Yuanxi had no concept of money before. His needs and expenses were taken care of by others. If he wanted to buy something, the servants would handle the payment. He had never used this card before.
Seeing the card being handed to her, Gu Qingluan was astonished.
It was the Purple Gold Card from the Lushi Chamber of Commerce.
This type of card was a savings card introduced by the Lushi Chamber of Commerce. It allowed the storage of silver and could be used to purchase any goods under the name of the Lushi Chamber of Commerce.
If one wanted to use the silver, one could simply exchange it at the Lushi Bank.
The card had five different levels: White Card, Silver Card, Gold Card, Purple Gold Card, and Black Card.
The Black Card was the highest level, and there were no more than ten people on the entire continent who possessed it.
There were only about a hundred holders of the Purple Gold Card, indicating its rarity.
Where did Xiao Nan get the Purple Gold Card from?
