After the fury subsided, a gleam of fighting spirit actually surfaced in Jinshi Bo's eyes.
Then, he shouted aloud: "Two hundred thousand Immortal Martial Stones."
After speaking, he shot a provocative glance at Chu Feng, his gaze seemingly saying that he had already won.
It seemed he had truly come to regard Chu Feng as a romantic rival, believing that Chu Feng intended to snatch the flowers in order to gift them to Xia Yun'er and the other two.
However, what he didn't know was that Chu Feng had absolutely no intention of buying the flowers. He had no desire to be anyone's rival. Chu Feng's motive was simple — he just wanted to swindle Jinshi Bo.
So after Jinshi Bo placed his bid, without any hesitation, Chu Feng blurted out: "Three hundred thousand Immortal Martial Stones."
"Four hundred thousand Immortal Martial Stones." Jinshi Bo refused to be outdone and immediately shouted back.
Five hundred thousand Immortal Martial Stones."
"Six hundred thousand Immortal Martial Stones."
"Seven hundred thousand Immortal Martial Stones."
"Eight hundred thousand Immortal Martial Stones."
"Nine hundred thousand Immortal Martial Stones."
When Chu Feng drove the price up to nine hundred thousand Immortal Martial Stones, everyone in the hall could no longer sit still.
What was going on here? Were they spending Immortal Martial Stones like they were nothing?
Nine hundred thousand Immortal Martial Stones — that was enough to buy ninety ordinary Immortal-grade weapons.
To trade ninety Immortal-grade weapons for three utterly useless flowers that could only serve as decoration — had their brains been kicked by a donkey?
Of course, Chu Feng wasn't being stupid. He was simply trying to drive up the price.
However, at this point, Jinshi Bo had lost his earlier fighting spirit and composure.
The price had already reached nine hundred thousand Immortal Martial Stones. If he continued to bid, Chu Feng would likely keep following. And seeing how relaxed Chu Feng looked, as if victory was already in his grasp, Jinshi Bo was starting to panic.
He had no idea what price this bidding war with Chu Feng would ultimately reach. Even if he ended up winning the three flowers, the losses would be devastating.
"Chu Feng, what are you doing? Don't women usually like flowers and plants? You're a grown man — why would you spend such an outrageous price to buy them?"
Even Chu Lingxi couldn't watch anymore and couldn't help but question Chu Feng.
"Everyone appreciates beautiful things, of course. However, I'm not buying them for my own collection. I simply wish to gift them to Miss Lingxi, Miss Ruoshi, and Miss Xia," Chu Feng said.
"Well, you certainly are generous."
Chu Lingxi smiled sweetly. Though her words carried a hint of sarcasm, her smile was genuinely radiant. It was clear that Chu Feng's words had successfully won her over.
Seeing this, Jinshi Bo's face turned green with rage. Without a second thought, he shouted: "Two million Immortal Martial Stones!!!"
"Two million Immortal Martial Stones?!"
At Jinshi Bo's words, everyone present was stunned. Even the Ghostly Sorrow Elder wore an expression of surprise as he asked: "Young Master, are you certain you wish to purchase at the price of two million Immortal Martial Stones?"
"No need for idle talk. If this prince says two million, then it's two million." Jinshi Bo said, thumping his chest.
"Then... is there anyone who wishes to bid higher?"
The Ghostly Sorrow Elder said.
And when he said this, Jinshi Bo instinctively looked toward Chu Feng.
He was actually somewhat afraid now — afraid that Chu Feng would continue to bid. For him, two million was already an enormous burden. He doubted he could go any higher.
After all, just to win a beauty's smile, this price was simply too steep.
But Chu Feng did not continue to bid.
Earlier, when Chu Feng had driven the price to nine hundred thousand Immortal Martial Stones, Jinshi Bo had already started to waver.
If it weren't for Chu Lingxi's sweet smile, it was questionable whether Jinshi Bo would have continued bidding at all.
Under these circumstances, naturally Chu Feng would not raise the price further. Two million Immortal Martial Stones had already far exceeded his expectations — after all, those were just three completely useless flowers.
"Very well. Since no one else is placing a bid, these three extraordinary flowers shall go to that young master," the Ghostly Sorrow Elder said.
Although he didn't mention Jinshi Bo by name, it was obvious that he knew who had won the bid.
Having successfully won the three extraordinary flowers, Jinshi Bo immediately wore a look of smug satisfaction. He first shot a provocative glance at Chu Feng, his gaze seemingly saying: *Competing with me? You're still too green.*
