Chapter 213: Punishment
For the next creature, what looked like a very wide flat red pig, Sage started out by bidding thirty thousand, triple the starting value. The other VIP booth immediately broke in and bid sixty thousand.
Perfect.
Sage didnt make another bid. The pig was probably only worth thirty to forty and now the rival booth had to pay sixty for it. Sage did exactly the same thing on the next item, sticking the other VIP booth with a bill for a hundred thousand. The third time, the other booth didnt bid quite so high and they were saved by other bidders taking over to push the price higher. The next item Sage didnt bid immediately, he let others in the auction bid the price up. When the bidding started to slow down, then Sage stepped in and doubled the current price. That rival booth jumped in and outbid him, thinking he actually wanted this item.
Sage didnt bid again. He just smiled over at Jin Shih, Just teaching that guy a lesson. He has it out for you, right?
Jin Shih gave him a strange look and then waved his hand, Its no big deal. Ill take care of him someday, you dont need to concern yourself.
Im concerned because he was messing with me too, you dummy.
Oh, its no problem. Were all from the same Sect, we should support each other.
Sage didnt bid on the next item, letting a few pass by before he bid again. The other VIP booth didnt back down and Sage cost them another pile of Spirit Stones by immediately dropping out of the bidding. Sage waited a couple more items and bid again, this time the other booth didnt bid and Sage counted it as a win even though he had to waste fifty thousand on an ugly beast that looked like a furry yellow gremlin. About the size of a dog, it had course yellow fur, two arms with clawed fingers, and a large wide mouth filled with sharp fangs.
Sage didnt even bother learning the name of the little beast, but he was glad to have finally got the other VIP booth to stop annoying them. Which was good, because hed missed a dozen auction items now, caring only about the rival booth. With that hindrance reduced, if not removed, he could focus on the beasts again. A few more beasts went up for auction, one of them was even one of the items from the Beast Den. The quality of that Thunder Ox was quite apparent, it looked far stronger and healthier than any of its kind that Sage had seen or heard described.
Nodding, Sage understood now. Without a matched pair, they couldnt breed more Bone Mantids, so they chose to sell it instead. As for why it wasnt just the body being sold, some obscure uses of different materials involved souls, minds, or extracting of parts while the creature was still living. It was always worth more to have a living creature for sale instead of a corpse, even if anyone would only want it dead.
Sage checked how many Spirit Stones he had and frowned. The Bone Mantis had increased to such a high price he didnt know what to do. Putting his hand onto the yellow seed, he entered a single bid.
Ill just leave it up to fate.
Booth Six bids 650,000! Any other takers?
Sages heart rate quickened, the second call came, and Xiao Mei Mei opened her mouth to call out a third and final time when the eighth booth, the one that housed Jin Shihs rival, posted a higher number.
Booth Eight bids 675,000!
Sage leaned back and downed the rest of his drink. After his previous purchases his finances had dropped to 180,000. Then hed sold some beasts and a set of Formation Swords to bring him up to 420,000. The Roots of the Resolute set sold for the most yet, 180,000; to bring him up to six hundred large. His bid was already digging into the presale funds for the Airships. Hed already sent a Red Crane Message back to Wan Ling carrying the contract hed negotiated. The Lu Clan ordered a full one hundred of the basic model airships. At 8,000 each, and half paid up front, it put the total number of Spirit Stones he carried up to a full million.
Since he already decided to bid only once, Sage just sat back and let Jin Shihs rival take the Bone Mantis away. At the moment he couldnt tell if that person in Booth Eight really wanted the Bone Mantis or if theyd just guessed correctly that it was something they cared about.
I also cant forget theres a chance that booth is actually Jin Shihs hired stooge.
