My ears were already filled with a cascade of bids.
In just five minutes, it reached 400 million.
It was evident that most people were here for the Hundred Herbs Tripod.
If not for an even more important item coming up, the scene would be even harder to control.
My eyes narrowed slightly, and I immediately sent a text to Maria Murphy, instructing her to secure the Hundred Herbs Tripod.
On stage, Maria Murphy saw the text and curled her lips into an enticingly seductive smile.
"So, you've finally made a move. It seems you're determined to get this Hundred Herbs Tripod. Could it be that the Alchemist behind you asked you to bid for it?"
Maria certainly didn't think David was an Alchemist.
So young, how could he possibly understand the art of Alchemy?
"430 million!"
"440 million!"
...
The price continued to rise, but there weren't many bidders left.
At this level, everyone was rational, analyzing the benefits at hand.
