"Okay, this gentleman bids eighty-five thousand. Do we have any higher bids?" the auctioneer called out, his eyes scanning the crowd. He knew this price was nearing the limit; the chance of it going any higher was slim.
Just as he finished speaking, a faint voice drifted from one of the private boxes. "Ninety thousand."
"Eh! It's box number six again."
The crowd realized that the bid had, surprisingly, come from box number six again. 'They just suffered a major loss. Haven't they learned their lesson?' they wondered. Ninety thousand Profound Coins for a single Tier Four Heart-Opening Grass... Unless they had a powerful Alchemist on their side, they wouldn't make any profit on it.
Ye Xuan's pupils contracted.
He knew immediately that this was the Sixth Prince's doing.
'It seems this Sixth Prince really holds a grudge against me,' Ye Xuan thought. 'After taking such a huge loss, he still dares to join the bidding.'
