“Hmm.”
Everyone gasped in surprise; who was so bold as to oppose the Zhou family?
Wang Yi was also slightly taken aback. At this point, someone was still bidding. Four hundred fifty thousand taels of gold—he was certain that this person must be a disciple of some prominent family; otherwise, they could never produce such a large amount of gold.
“Four hundred sixty thousand taels. Hmph, you truly have great ambition. May I ask your esteemed name? That way, I, Zhou Yu, can extend my hospitality as a local host.” Zhou Yu's pale face suddenly darkened as he spoke coldly.
“Five hundred thousand taels.” A voice as gentle as a warm breeze came from the VIP Room. “I am just an unknown person; how could I dare to compete with Young Master Zhou?”
“Is it that you do not give me, Zhou Yu, any face?” Zhou Yu felt a surge of anger rising within him. There were not many who dared to oppose him in Xiangzhou Prefecture. Could this person be from another state? Thinking this, he continued, “Five hundred ten thousand taels.”
“Five hundred fifty thousand taels.”
“Five hundred sixty thousand taels.”
“Hmph, you truly have great courage. Sixty thousand taels. If you bid again, you can take this ‘Gaang Yan Fist Technique’ without hesitation.” A flash of killing intent crossed Zhou Yu's eyes as he spoke to a burly man beside him. “Immediately find out who this person is. I want him to regret opposing me for the rest of his life.”
“Yes.” The Black-Clad Man bowed.
“Well then, thank you very much. Sixty thousand one tael.”
Everyone was momentarily stunned before bursting into laughter; this scene was strikingly similar to the previous one.
“Good, good. This ‘Fist of Fiery Gale’ belongs to you.” Zhou Yu's expression darkened like a heavy cloud as he coldly smiled. “Let me remind you, this Fifth-Rank Martial Technique is no ordinary item. Recently, Xiangzhou Prefecture has not been very peaceful; you should be cautious.”
A threat—a blatant threat.
Everyone's expressions changed slightly because if the Zhou family wanted to annihilate that family, it would be as easy as pie. They were certain that this person was in trouble and would not be able to leave Xiangcheng unscathed.
"Then there's no need for Young Master Zhou to worry; I have my own plans."
Wang Yi's thoughts raced. This person clearly knew that Zhou Yu was the Zhou Family Young Master and still dared to act this way. Unless he was a fool, there was only one possibility: the young man in the VIP Room did not fear the Zhou family, or perhaps the forces behind him did not fear the Zhou family.
"Then I wish you good luck," Zhou Yu said with a cold smile.
Elder Chen was overjoyed. He hadn't expected someone to intervene at such a critical moment, but this brought considerable benefits to the Yunlong Chamber of Commerce.
"Six hundred thousand and one tael once... six hundred thousand and one tael three times, sold." Elder Chen said with a beaming smile.
Elder Chen cleared his throat, coughed twice, signaling everyone to quiet down. He took out a blue three-inch bottle from his Storage Ring and placed it in front of everyone, saying, "Next, we will auction two final items. The first is three pieces of fifth-grade pill, Primordial Dan. A martial artist at the Earth Spirit Realm Ninth Layer who consumes it will have a fifty percent chance of breaking through to the Yuan Realm and enjoy two hundred years of longevity. This opportunity is rare; the starting bid is twelve hundred thousand gold. The highest bidder wins; let’s begin."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Auction House erupted into a frenzy.
"Primordial Dan? I can't miss this opportunity. With this pill, I can break through to the Yuan Realm."
"Hmph, I must have the Primordial Dan," Lin Haojian declared.
"Brother Lin, I suspect that Zhou Yu and others are also here for this pill. How about we three cooperate to bid for it? Afterward, we can each take one pill. What do you think?" Lu Cong suggested after some thought.
"You make a good point, Brother Lu. With our three financial strengths combined, we may not be able to compete with Zhou Yu and others individually, but if we work together, we might have a chance," Le Wu added.
"Alright," Lin Haojian gritted his teeth in agreement.
"Uncle Fu, how much gold have we prepared for this time?" Chu Yixuan asked.
"Young Master, this time the family head only allocated seven hundred thousand taels of gold; the rest will depend on you," replied the elderly man with white hair.
“Inner Sect has countless strong individuals. I can only secure a place for myself by breaking through to the Yuan Realm. I must obtain this Primordial Dan. However, if that is the case, then this final item…” Chu Yixuan nodded, his expression firm.
Wang Yi was momentarily stunned. The Primordial Dan, glancing around and seeing no one, took out his Storage Ring. With a sweep of his divine sense, he was overjoyed to find a vial labeled with the Primordial Dan tag. If that were the case, wouldn’t he no longer have to worry about obtaining the Primordial Dan?
It should be noted that the Primordial Dan is a fifth-grade elixir, and the spiritual herbs required for its refinement are incredibly precious, needing to be at least five hundred years old. Moreover, the refiner must be a Breakthrough Expert. Considering this, these three Primordial Dan must have come from the hands of a Breakthrough Expert. Such strength would already rank among the leaders of Kaiyang Sect and Wen Cang Sect in the Song Kingdom. Aside from the Top Ten Powerhouses, it is unimaginable for a Breakthrough Expert to stand alone in prestige.
“Fifteen thousand taels.”
Soon, a family head could no longer hold back and placed a bid.
“Hmph, fifteen thousand taels? You think you can obtain the Primordial Dan? That’s simply a pipe dream. Seventeen thousand taels.”
“Twenty thousand taels.”
“Twenty-one thousand taels.”
“Twenty-three thousand taels.”
“Twenty-five thousand taels.”
The bidding price climbed steadily, and Chen Elder wore a broad smile, as if he wished for the Primordial Dan to sell for a hundred thousand taels of gold.
Before long, the bidding price had already risen to thirty thousand taels, and the number of bidders was decreasing.
“Forty thousand taels.”
“Forty-two thousand taels.”
"Four hundred fifty thousand taels."
At this moment, only Zhou Yu, Zhao Shanyu, Chu Yixuan, and Lin Haojian remained in the bidding. The Mysterious Young Man had not spoken a word from the beginning until now.
Elder Chen glanced at the VIP Room, a fleeting look of hope flashing across his face.
"Five hundred thousand taels."
"Five hundred fifty thousand taels."
"Six hundred thousand taels."
"Damn it, the three of us combined can barely reach eight hundred thousand taels. At this rate, the Primordial Dan will definitely be auctioned off to them," Lin Haojian said angrily.
Lu Cong and Le Wu exchanged glances, remaining silent; eight hundred thousand taels was already their limit.
"Seven hundred thousand taels," Zhou Yu called out loudly.
The noisy scene suddenly fell silent. No one expected Zhou Yu to raise the bid by one hundred thousand taels of gold at once. Although the heads of various families were reluctant, they felt that witnessing this fierce competition was worthwhile.
"Eight hundred thousand taels," Lin Haojian said, his handsome face already twisted in frustration.
"Is there anyone else willing to bid? Eight hundred thousand taels going once..." Elder Chen calmly announced as he surveyed the crowd.
"Eight hundred twenty thousand taels."
"Good, good, eight hundred twenty thousand taels going once, eight hundred twenty thousand taels going twice. Is there any other bidder? If there are no further bids, this Primordial Dan will be sold to this esteemed guest," Elder Chen continued in a voice full of temptation.
"Eight hundred fifty thousand taels."
"Good, good, Young Master Chu bids eight hundred fifty thousand taels. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a rare chance in a hundred years. You must know that this is a pill refined by a Breakthrough Expert; encountering it again won't be easy," Elder Chen said with a smile.
"Ninety thousand taels."
"Good, Young Master Zhou bids ninety thousand taels. Is there anyone else willing to bid? This opportunity is rare, and it's only this one time," Elder Chen's old face flushed red with excitement.
"Sigh, forget it, let Zhou Yu have this Primordial Dan," Chu Yixuan sighed.
"Ninety thousand taels once, ninety thousand taels twice. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become a Yuan Realm powerhouse," Elder Chen looked towards the Mysterious Young Man's VIP Room, hoping that this Mysterious Young Man would bid again.
"Chen Steward, why aren't you announcing it yet?" Zhou Yu showed a hint of impatience on his face. He knew that ninety thousand taels was already his limit, and there was still one final item left for auction. If he spent too much gold now, he might miss out on the last item.
"Ninety thousand taels three times, sold." Elder Chen pondered for a moment and seeing no bid from the Mysterious Young Man, he couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.
"Hahaha, with this Primordial Dan, I can break through to the Yuan Realm!" Zhou Yu laughed heartily.
"Ahem, we are now auctioning the final item, the Earth-Level Divine Weapon Azure Flow Sword. It is forged from meteorite material mixed with a bit of Eternal Cold Stone and refined for three years using Cold Water of the Cold Talk. It is incredibly sharp; it can cut through hair with a breath," Elder Chen waved his hand, and an Azure Robed Attendant brought out a rectangular box about one meter and sixty centimeters long from behind the curtain.
Elder Chen took the box and gently opened it. Suddenly, a stream of azure light shot out from the box, dyeing the air in azure and causing everyone to gasp in surprise.
Wang Yi followed the trail of light with his gaze. After waiting for so long, he finally saw what he needed—a sword about four feet six inches long and one inch wide, thin as paper and entirely azure in color. The blade shimmered with azure light and emitted an aura of coldness, causing the temperature in the air to drop slightly.
"Hiss."
Everyone gasped in awe, their eyes filled with greed. Many warriors regarded their weapons as their second life; having such a sword by their side could save their lives at critical moments.
"This is the Earth-Level Divine Weapon, truly extraordinary."
"It is indeed sharp. If I were to obtain this sword, I believe there would be no one of the same rank who could match me."
"Exactly. If this sword were to fall into the hands of a Swordsman, it would be like adding wings to a tiger."
"Alright, everyone here knows its worth. If this Azure Flow Sword falls into the hands of a swordsman, it will surely be like divine assistance. The starting bid is three hundred thousand taels of gold; the auction begins now," Elder Chen announced, having achieved the desired effect.
"Three hundred fifty thousand taels."
As soon as the words were spoken, someone immediately raised the bid by a full fifty thousand taels of gold. It seemed that many people were eager to acquire this Earth-Level Divine Weapon, the Azure Flow Sword.
"Three hundred eighty thousand taels."
"Four hundred thousand taels."
The bidding was heating up, while Wang Yi remained calm and composed, his expression indifferent. What appeared to be a fierce competition was merely an appetizer; true strong contenders often wait until the end to start bidding.
Before long, the auction price had already soared to six hundred thousand taels of gold.
