"11,000,000!"
"13,000,000!"
"15,000,000!"
Since the starting bid for the cauldron was too high, not many people in the auction hall had the ability to buy it. Only three of people were placing bids, and one of them was Second Young Master from the third room.
The other person was the elegant Tian Lan Meng. It was as if those 10,000,000 stone coins was just a number to her.
The final bidder was an old man wearing a straw hat. Only his white hair was revealed outside, his face unable to be seen clearly. His voice was hoarse, and he did not stand out as he sat among the crowd. Since the start, he had rarely placed many bets, and when he suddenly called out that high bid of 15,000,000 stone coins, he immediately attracted the attention of those around him.
Zhan Yin Chui is retained in the form of pinyin because I decided to treat it as an onomatopoeia. The reason for it is due to the last paragraph of the chapter.
The detailed reason is this.
枬珢淬 are the original words used for the three letters. 枬 (zhan) is cedar, 珢 (yin) is jade, and 淬 (chui) is still quenching. I originally translated it as Cedar Jade Quenching.
But once I reached the final paragraph, it became just plain weird for me to say that his bones are rubbing against each other and producing the sound ‘Jade’, so I changed the whole thing to Zhan Yin Chui.
