255: The Ghost Emperor is nothing! Spend money like crazy!

In just a moment, the price of that grade eight yin pill had soared from the initial bidding price of one hundred thousand to five hundred eighty thousand.

And it was still climbing!

"Six hundred thousand huangquan coins!"

"Seven hundred thousand huangquan coins!"

"Seven hundred twenty thousand huangquan coins!"

...

Each bid sent a shock through the Blue Star Hunters on the first floor, who were poor and powerless.

They seriously doubted if they could really compete in a place like this just by working day and night.

They desperately wished the system would give them more quests, believing that relying solely on the wages from the merchants in the Huangquan Ghost Realm to compete with these ghosts was pure fantasy.

Among the Great Xia Hunters, only a very small number gave up.

For them, having hope was always better than having none.

Some of them had once fished up five hundred huangquan coins, and this news immediately gave more people hope.

Working, fishing, plus various system quests, and praying for good luck, perhaps they could really bring back a few powerful spiritual items and turn their lives around to become overlords!

"One million huangquan coins!"

At this moment, a voice coming from the highest point above their heads forcibly dragged them out of their own little worlds of thought.

"Did I hear that right? O-one million huangquan coins!"

"It is indeed one million huangquan coins! The voice seems to be coming from the fifth floor."

"Fifth floor? But it doesn't sound like the Undead Monarch's voice."

"Nonsense, the fifth floor isn't just the Undead Monarch alone, did you forget? Opposite the Undead Monarch's private room is the existence known as the Ghost Emperor!"

"Ghost Emperor? If I remember correctly, that seems to be the highest rank in the Huangquan Ghost Realm!"

Many people felt that since even the Ghost Emperor had spoken, if they wanted to continue mixing in the Huangquan Ghost Realm in the future, they would most likely not dare to bid against him.

"One million huangquan coins, going once!"

"One million huangquan coins, going twice!"

Just as everyone thought so and the Female Ghost in Qipao was about to bring down the gavel, a familiar voice cut in.

"Ten million huangquan coins."

He said that ten million so casually, those who knew it was ten million, and those who didn't, probably thought it was one thousand huangquan coins.

After seconds of silence among the myriad ghosts, voices erupted.

"Holy crap! H-how much??"

"Ten million huangquan coins, exactly ten times the amount the Ghost Emperor offered!"

"My heavens, where did this kid come from? He actually dared to compete with the Ghost Emperor for a treasure, he must not want to live."

"Since he dared to say that, it means he definitely has his own confidence, you don't need to worry about him."

"..." Like everyone else, the Female Ghost in Qipao was also startled by the price of ten million huangquan coins that Chen Ming had called out.

Even as a professional auctioneer, she was stunned for several seconds before reacting.

Then, using her melodious, bell-like voice, she called out, "Ten million huangquan coins, going once!"

"Ten million huangquan coins, going twice!"

"Ten million huangquan coins..." As she said the last two words, the Female Ghost in Qipao intentionally glanced at the Heaven-ranked Room Number One.

After waiting for two seconds and seeing that the Ghost Emperor had no intention of speaking again, she decisively brought down the gavel and continued, "Going three times! Congratulations to the guest in Heaven-ranked Room Number Two for acquiring another treasure, one grade eight yin pill!"

As soon as these words were spoken, it astonished the ghosts even more than when Chen Ming had called out the price of ten million huangquan coins earlier.

"He actually took the treasure the Ghost Emperor wanted right under the Ghost Emperor's nose."

"I'm very curious, just how strong is this kid?"

"In hundreds of years of history, this is the first time something like this has happened. There will be a good show to watch after the auction."

The ghosts discussed animatedly.

The Great Xia Hunters felt a surge of pride and relief.

Who says humans are destined to be oppressed in the Huangquan Ghost Realm?

That's because they haven't witnessed the power of the Undead Monarch!

[Successfully spent ten million huangquan coins! Hundredfold rebate triggered, congratulations to the host for obtaining huangquan coins +1000000000!]

Spending ten million huangquan coins, giving the obtained grade eight yin pill to Yin Qianqian, and casually earning another billion huangquan coins.

Chen Ming really couldn't think of anything in the world that was more cost-effective than this business.

"Thank you, Master." Yin Qianqian took the grade eight yin pill and swallowed it.

After refining the ghost energy contained in the yin pill, Yin Qianqian opened her eyes and excitedly said, "Master, I can break through to become a Ghost Emperor immediately!"

"Very good, if there are similar treasures later, I will bid for them for you," Chen Ming promised.

He could distinguish between a Ghost King level servant and a Ghost Emperor level servant.

Helping Yin Qianqian was equivalent to helping himself.

Anyway, no matter how many huangquan coins he spent, Chen Ming could get a hundredfold rebate, so there was no such thing as a loss.

He primarily enjoyed the process of spending money.

At the same time, in Room Number One directly opposite, Ghost Emperor Bai Mo's expression was extremely unsightly.

"..." Bai Mo.

In the hundreds of years since he became a Ghost Emperor, Chen Ming was the first person who dared to defy him!

"Ghost Emperor, why didn't you let me continue bidding just now?" Yang Xiao asked in confusion.

"Why bother scheming with someone who is about to die? Since he wants it, let him have it." Bai Mo said the most terrifying words in the most indifferent tone.

Yang Xiao knew clearly that the moment Chen Ming opened his mouth to bid against Bai Mo, Bai Mo had already decided in his heart to kill him!

'Indeed, accompanying a ruler is like accompanying a tiger!'

Yang Xiao worried that one day in the future, he would also be treated as a disposable pawn like this by Bai Mo.

'It seems I need to find another master!'

Yang Xiao became increasingly firm in this idea.

While he was thinking, the voice of the Female Ghost in Qipao came from downstairs again, "The third item to be auctioned is a defensive spiritual item. After wearing it, it can withstand three fatal attacks..."

Glancing at Bai Mo's tightly clenched fingers on the armrest, Yang Xiao knew that this treasure was a must-have for him.

This time, there was no way the distinguished guest in Heaven-ranked Room Number Two would take it.

If he were to succeed, even if the Ghost Emperor killed him afterward, he wouldn't be able to obtain it.

Instead, it would increase the difficulty of killing Chen Ming.

Body-protecting spiritual items ignore the difference in levels; as long as it's fatal damage, they can all block it.

In other words, if the body-protecting spiritual item fell into Chen Ming's hands, Bai Mo would have to kill Chen Ming three times before he could completely kill him on the fourth time.

"Heart-protecting spiritual item, starting bid one million huangquan coins," the Female Ghost in Qipao announced, raising her voice.

Hearing the starting bid was one million huangquan coins, Bai Mo immediately signaled Yang Xiao with his eyes.

Upon seeing this, Yang Xiao immediately stepped forward, "Ten million huangquan coins."

As soon as this was said, those ghosts on the fourth floor who had the financial means to bid immediately closed their mouths without hesitation.

How could they have the qualification or opportunity to interfere with something the Ghost Emperor had his eyes on?

"One hundred million huangquan coins."

They cared about that, but Chen Ming didn't.
