The old man was just about to take the pill with a smug look on his face when Ye Li spoke.
He raised his number plate and said, "Two thousand seven hundred high-grade spirit stones."
He did not just add twenty-five spirit stones, but directly added one hundred. This was a trick he learned from watching other people bidding.
If he increases his price closely following that of the other party, the other party will generally have the mentality of "I can win it by raising the price a little more", and will compete with him many times.
After two people have bid repeatedly, it is easy for the bidders to develop the urge to compete with each other and drive up the price inflated.
Ye Li increased the price by one hundred high-grade spirit stones at a time to test the other party's reaction. After all, if he raised the price again, no matter how much the other party bid, it would be more than one hundred and twenty-five high-grade spirit stones higher than the previous price the other party bid, which would form a step up psychologically.
Sure enough, after seeing Ye Li who rushed out last, the old man's expression was stunned, and the change in price also made him a little hesitant.
After a slight pause, he said, "Two thousand eight hundred high-grade spirit stones."
This price has exceeded the market valuation of this pill. The old man is obviously testing whether Ye Li's willingness is still strong.
He threw the same mentality to Ye Li again, letting Ye Li make the choice.
This is the art of bidding. In the end, the two parties are communicating with price.
Ye Li smiled and raised the price for the second time without hesitation, saying: "Three thousand high-grade spirit stones."
This time he added two hundred high-quality spirit stones, which was a sign of his firm attitude and also a way of telling the other party that he didn't mind raising the price.
Sure enough, after hearing the price, the old man frowned and looked embarrassed.
After all, if he raised the price again this time, the lowest price he could offer would be 225 high-quality spirit stones higher than the previous price he offered. The ladder was getting higher and higher.
After a moment of silence, the old man finally looked at Ye Li and sat back helplessly.
After all, Ye Li's attitude was obviously more resolute than his. If the price continued to rise, the attractiveness of this item in his mind would decrease, because everyone wants to buy reasonably priced goods, not overpriced goods.
Seeing the old man sitting back, Ye Li couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If he continued to raise the price, even he would start to hesitate. Just to activate a pill with one attribute, he would have to spend more than three thousand high-grade spirit stones. This was definitely not a small amount.
The young man upstairs who was called the Third Young Master couldn't help but snort coldly when he saw Ye Li coming out to bid again. It seemed that the other party was not as poor as he imagined.
This made him very unhappy. How could he have made a mistake? He said the other party was a country bumpkin, so the other party should be a country bumpkin, not like he was doing now, bidding in front of everyone to beat others and easily get the pill.
The young man, who had always been arrogant and grumpy, became more and more unhappy the more he thought about it. He could hear the determination in Ye Li's bidding with the old man just now, and knew that Ye Li was determined to get this pill, so he rolled his eyes and suddenly raised the price.
"I'll offer 3,200 high-quality spirit stones."
His voice came from above, and Ye Li, who was just about to take the Golden Flower and Silver Leaf Pill, was suddenly stunned.
Then he immediately raised his head and looked up, and a face that made him feel a little disgusted appeared in front of him.
Ye Li recognized the other person at once. It was the young man who had ridiculed him twice in a row in the Treasure Pavilion.
He could tell from the teasing look in the other person's eyes that the other person was raising the price deliberately to make trouble for him.
The other party had already guessed from his bidding performance just now that he was determined to get this pill, so he dared to intervene at the last minute.
Ye Li glanced at the Golden Flower and Silver Leaf Pill on the tray on the table with some reluctance. He really wanted to get this pill, because if he missed this opportunity, he didn't know when he would encounter another pill that could activate the Gold Root Talisman.
Considering the current situation where the price is high but the demand is limited, if he wants to collect all ten attributes, he really should not give up any opportunity to get the elixir.
After struggling for a while, Ye Li finally gritted his teeth and raised the price: "Three thousand five hundred high-grade spirit stones!"
As he spoke, he stared at the young man sitting in the private room on the second floor. He really didn't understand why the other party would provoke him again and again.
It was obvious that he had no grudge against the other party, and the other party did not know him. So what was the other party's purpose in doing this? Was it just because he was wearing a linen suit
Ye Li's mind was full of thoughts, and the anger kept burning his throat.
The young man upstairs looked at Ye Li with contempt and shouted again: "Three thousand five hundred and twenty-five high-grade spirit stones."
This time he only added twenty-five spirit stones, which was actually the reverse of the tactics that Ye Li had just used. When he saw the anger in Ye Li's eyes, he decided to use this method to fish.
Just increasing the price a little bit is to make Ye Li have the mentality of "I can get it by paying a little more", especially when a person is angry, rationality will slip away.
Just when Ye Li wanted to bid again, Tunri's voice rang out: "Ye Li, don't raise the price, let that bastard buy it.
Anyway, you don’t need to take additional pills to increase the purity of your talisman root, unlike other people, when you activate your spiritual root for the first time, the higher the quality of the pill, the better.
You can find Xuan-level elixirs to take in the future. You just need to activate the gold spiritual root. With the accumulation of talismans, you will be able to improve the purity of the spiritual root soon.
Presumably, the number of Xuan-grade elixirs must be greater than that of Di-grade elixirs, and the difficulty in purchasing them should be less. Moreover, this would actually save spirit stones. Why bother competing with him here
As you humans have a saying, let him shoot himself in the foot."
Tunri's voice immediately sobered Ye Li's fevered head. He was indeed angry at the other party's repeated malicious behavior. If he continued to argue with the other party, the price might be raised to four thousand.
Ye Li took a deep breath, calmed the anger in his heart, and his eyes changed from resentment to teasing.
"It seems that you are determined to get this pill, so I will give it to you."
Ye Li suddenly said this lightly, and then sat down without hesitation.
His sudden change startled everyone in the auction hall. After all, everyone could see that Ye Li was planning to continue raising the price.
The person who could not accept it the most was naturally the young man who had just wanted to deliberately make trouble for Ye Li and maliciously raised the price.
"You...you country bumpkin, you don't want to buy this pill?"
The young man's astonished voice sounded upstairs. He really didn't expect that Ye Li, who had just been hung up by him, would suddenly regain his senses and trick him.
