A stick of incense later, Fu Yuanqi once again stood on the auction platform:
"Fellow Daoists, I apologize deeply. The person who bid ten billion high-grade Spirit Stones, two superior Spirit Veins, and an Emerald Crystal of the Sea Depths a moment ago failed to gather the items in time.
He told us his friend couldn't bring the items to the auction on time because the Emerald Crystal had already been used.
As I said before, while we allow everyone to gather resources for the auction, this does not mean you can deceive Wanije Commerce. Bring the person who bid recklessly forward."
Two cultivators swiftly charged into the crowd and took control of a thin man, leading him away from the auction hall.
A burst of commotion ensued from the crowd, and some seasoned characters vaguely guessed what was going on.
Fu Yuanqi raised his voice and said, "Since the first price was a false one, the bidding for the Nine-colored Immortal Mortal Lotus will now revert to the subsequent bid..."
