Right as the auctioneer was about to slam down his mallet, a voice suddenly rang out that made him come to a halt.

"120,000 points!"

The owner of that voice was none other than Li Luoming, who hated Su Luo to the bone.

Everyone looked at Li Luoming as shock filled their hearts: Was this man stupid?

However, what happened next astounded them…

At this moment, Su Luo smiled lightly: "130,000 points."

"150,000 points!" Li Luoming clenched.

"Two hundred thousand points." Su Luo followed suit with another bid.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand!"

"Five hundred thousand." Su Luo directly doubled this round.

This time, not only the onlookersnbut even Li Luoming had sucked in a big breath of cold air!

Points did not just drop down from the sky! And yet, she was going to pay half a million points for a piece of rotten wood that anyone could tell at the first glance wasn’t alive at all?

Li Luoming went silent and did not follow up with a higher bid. He gritted his teeth repeatedly.

He too wanted to come up with a bold offer such as by doubling Su Luo’s offer directly for a million point bid. However, he was afraid that Su Luo might just be playing him for a fool, which would result in the rotten tree ending up in his hands.

Li Luoming thought about it over and over before finally giving up.

The chief appraiser did not expect that this Ancient Crystal Tree would be able to end up with this high a price. He was overjoyed, and his impression of Su Luo improved a bit.

"Five hundred thousand points going once."

"Five hundred thousand points going twice."

"Five hundred thousand points going for a third time. Okay, this Ancient Crystal Tree is sold to the honored guest in VIP Room 6."

The chief appraiser raised his hand, and specialized staff proceeded to carry the old tree to Su Luo’s VIP Room, where she paid for the tree with her points. This transaction was then considered to be complete.

When Li Luoming saw the Ancient Crystal Tree being carried to the room where Su Luo was, the smile under his eyes became more sardonic. He felt that Su Luo must be feeling bitter but was unable to say anything about it.

However, he couldn’t have possibly known that when Su Luo got this Ancient Crystal Tree, she immediately placed it into her Space and found an empty spot by the spirit spring to let it take root there.

Originally, the crystal tree had rotten roots and withered leaves, leaving behind only a dry branch on the verge of death. However, Su Luo planted it by the spirit spring and irrigated it with the spirit spring water. After that, it didn\'t take long for her to see the bare branch sprout green shoots that radiated with a vibrant life force.

Seeing this, the worries in Su Luo’s heart immediately settled down. If this crystal tree were in a good condition, the selling price would have been raised to at least five million points, but now Su Lu bought it for a tenth of the price. Therefore, it could be said she got it at a great bargain.

However, people didn’t know about that. All of them assumed that Su Luo had spent half a million to buy a piece of rotten wood.

The auction continued.

While Su Luo went to plant the Ancient Crystal Tree, a few more items were snatched up by other people. By the time she came out, it was just in time for the auction of the Dragon Slaying Grass.

The Dragon Slaying Grass was one of the essential herbs for refining magic potions. It was very rare and had always been priceless in the market. Therefore, it was snapped up quickly as soon as it appeared.

The same was true now. Everyone\'s attempts to obtain the Dragon Slaying Grass was reaching a climax.

"One and a half million points!"

"One million six hundred thousand points!"

"One million seven hundred thousand points!"

"Two million points!" Li Luoming shouted out loudly in complacency and arrogance.

Right at this moment, Lin Hongyi entered Su Luo’s room to pour a cup of tea.

Su Luo raised her eyebrows.

Lin Hongyi had gone out in a hurry just a moment ago. Now, she was rushing back in. Furthermore, there seemed to be joy in her eyes, which was a bit interesting to see.
