The insanity only continued as bids continued to echo out. Soon, they were at fifteen hundred Spirit Stones, and Bai Xiaochun could only stand there, his throat dry and his breathing rapid, staring in disbelief.
“Crazy, all crazy… They’re all crazy.... Step it up! Get even crazier! Burst with insanity!” Bai Xiaochun said excitedly.
“One thousand eight hundred Spirit Stones!” Zhou Xinqi abruptly spoke out from within the crowd, attracting glances from all around. Bai Xiaochun too looked at Zhou Xinqi as he cheered on.
This sort of price was already the limit for inner sect disciples. Many of them were reluctant to give up, but there was a limit on how far they could go. Sighing, they let Zhou Xinqi have it. She herself was, after all, a Heaven’s Chosen pursuing the dao of medicine as well. Once she revealed her determination to obtain the pill with such a price, as fellow disciples of the same sect, it was useless to continue competing.
Bai Xiaochun too was very satisfied with this price. He wanted to just charge down and take Qian Song’s place to announce the end of the auction. But suddenly, a young girl’s voice broke through the crowd, proud and uncompromising.
