Chapter 190: Chapter 6: Domination! Celestial Being from the Prominent Family_2

Believing in the alliance of interests centered around Wang Shouzhe, it would surely grow more unified and powerful, even capable of contending with the Tianren Family.

Following the path of the sailing ship, they docked in the deep-water port of Donghaei.

A well-dressed young man in his thirties was waiting on the dock, accompanied by several attendants.

As soon as he spotted Chen Fangjie, he greeted him warmly: “Brother Fangjie, long time no see.”

Then he turned his gaze to Wang Shouzhe, and a flash of surprise appeared in his eyes. He hadn’t expected such a young man to have already reached the peak of the Vital Energy Refining Realm.

Moreover, the two elderly guards by his side were not easy to deal with, either. Their aura was profound and deep, even he, who had just ascended to the Spirit Platform Realm, found it unfathomable.

Immediately he showed a warm smile: “I suppose this must be Young Master Wang from Lingbei? I am Dantai And Jade, you can just call me Jade.”

“I am Wang Teng, it’s nice to meet you, Brother Dantai.” Wang Shouzhe gracefully saluted, appearing every bit the refined nobleman.

After some small talk.

Dantai And Jade led them into the best restaurant in Donghaei.

What followed was an enthusiastic reception.

The details of what transpired are not elaborated on further.

A few days later.

Donghaei, Hundred Treasures Pavilion.

Arranged by Dantai and Jade, Wang Shouzhe and his party were naturally in one of the best private rooms, waiting for the upcoming auction.

At the same time, distinguished guests from all sides rushed over.

There were many rare objects in this auction, attracting many prominent families from the nearby cities. However, most of them could only settle for the second-best private rooms.

Only two groups drew Wang Shouzhe’s attention.

The leader of one group was a middle-aged man adorned in fine clothing, exuding a formidable air, and was accompanied by two Spirit Platform Realm cultivators.

The other group was led by a woman of enchanting appearance, equally extraordinary in demeanor, surrounded by a multitude of guards.

When these two groups met outside the private rooms, tension sparked between them.

The enchanting woman sneered first: “Oh, isn’t this the Family Head of the Liu Clan of Chu Yun, Liu Kangping? Are you also eyeing the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill? I advise you to give up. Your worthless son would be better off being reborn.”

The Liu Clan, from the city of Chu Yun, is a renowned Tianren family that has a long history and strong power.

The middle-aged man, Liu Kangping’s face turned chill: “I was wondering who it was making such big talks. Turns out it’s Lady Bilian. Have you laid your eyes on another young man again? Willing to buy a Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill to entice him.”

Lady Bilian cackled: “Whatever I do, your worthless son won’t have his turn, anyway.”

Liu Kangping sneered: “Let’s wait and see. Hope Lady Bilian brought enough money.”

After a brief verbal battle, both groups returned to their private rooms.

Their conversation was not concealed, so Wang Shouzhe heard it all clearly. Unquestionably, these two groups would be his strongest competition.

However, he had been waiting for several years for news about the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill and he was determined to have it. Even if it meant competing against the Tianren families. And, with the enhancement to his bloodline from the pill, he was confident in achieving victory in the second round, ensuring he wouldn’t make a loss.

The Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill was extremely expensive. Even the Tianren families struggled to purchase it. If one were to purchase the pill with indifference, they risked depleting their resources.

The auction began promptly.

One by one, the expensive treasures appeared. From several hundred Qian Gold to several thousand Qian Gold, each item was quickly auctioned off.

This time, the Hundred Treasures Pavilion of Donghaei did bring out quite a few excellent items to build a reputation.

Wang Shouzhe and the other two groups did not make any moves.

Two hours later.

The auctioneer began to auction off the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill.

“The Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, a six-rank spirit pill, starting bid is one hundred thousand Qian Gold.”

“One hundred and twenty thousand Qian Gold.” Before the auctioneer could finish, Liu Kangping instantly raised the price.

“One hundred and thirty thousand.” Lady Bilian was obviously determined too, having prepared a substantial sum.

The two of them quickly pushed the price to a hundred and fifty thousand.

Only then did they begin conservatively raising the price, bit by bit.

Under normal circumstances, a Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill could be sold for around two hundred thousand. But if one could get a bargain, why not go for it? What if the opponent hadn’t prepared an ample amount of Qian Gold?

Even for the Tianren families, gathering two hundred thousand Qian Gold at once isn’t an easy task.

“Two hundred thousand.”

Wang Shouzhe could no longer bear their tortoise-like bidding and directly raised it to two hundred thousand.

What?

Both parties were obviously unprepared. There was a third party bidding for the bone marrow cleansing pill, and their faces of anger were obvious. But the bidding voice also came from the best box.

The Hundred Treasures Pavilion had rules. Unless it was a Celestial Family, you absolutely couldn’t sit in the best room.

This made them full of dread.

“Which prominent family is the friend from?” Liu Kangping said, “How about giving me face, quit now, I’ll go as high as two hundred thousand and one thousand.”

“Hehehe~ Liu Kangping, you’re really bold, I bid two hundred and ten thousand.” Lady Bilian also spoke, “I am determined to get this pill, you two should back down.”

“Two hundred and Fifty thousand.” Wang Shouzhe was too lazy to bid slowly with them, “It’s fair competition, you can continue to bid.”

As these words came out, Liu Kangping and Lady Bilian’s faces changed drastically.

Which young prince from the Celestial Families was too extravagant? This price made them hesitant. The bone marrow cleansing pill was indeed precious, but it seldom reached such a price.

Nobody’s money was just picked up by the wind, how many Heavenly Spirit Pills could this buy?

And what if this guy is just a decoy? Once a higher price is called, and the opposition instantly withdraws, wouldn’t that be a fool’s errand?

There was still some money left, but to continue bidding would hurt their vital energy.

Liu Kangping coldly hummed and angrily left the Hundred Treasures Pavilion. Although he was a member of the Celestial Family, he didn’t dare to cause a scene in the Hundred Treasures Pavilion.

But Lady Bilian laughed and said: “This young gentleman is indeed generous, which prominent family’s prince is he? I don’t know if I can have the honour of chatting with him.”

Knowing Lady Bilian’s reputation, Wang Shouzhe naturally didn’t want to interact with her. What if that got back to his wife, and he ended up getting killed?

Wang Shouzhe immediately sneered and said: “I am not destined for you.”

“Hmph.” Lady Bilian coldly snorted. “Doesn’t appreciate kindness.” Then she left angrily.

Naturally, the bone marrow cleansing pill fell into Wang Shouzhe’s hands! After getting the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, he couldn’t help but sigh. After eight years in this world, he finally had a chance to put some pressure on the Celestial Families, pushing them down.

And he has to admit, it felt pretty good.

After obtaining the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, Wang Shouzhe didn’t delay and immediately went to get the next thing.

…

Three months later.

At the end of August in the Frontier, the weather was gradually turning cooler.

A Spirit Tortoise, larger than a small car and weighing several tons, was briskly running on a dirt road. Even though it was carrying tons of weight on its back, it was still full of vigor.

No choice, its master was too bold.

The rewards for its mission were extremely generous this time, spirit meat and spirit fish, they were supplied without limit.

Following the Spirit Tortoise, the Old Ancestor Xuan Fu’s eyes were filled with gloom.

Six months!

Wang Shouzhe had actually been preparing for six months.

Was he going to the Frontier or the Demonic Realm?

And what has he prepared? A litter made from vine, securely tied on the Spirit Tortoise’s body, forming a mobile house. The inside was covered with soft goose down cushions, and there was even a small table set up.

The table was filled with snacks.

Her highly anticipated great-great-granddaughter was lazily lying on the goose down cushion, occasionally eating a piece of fruit, looking completely content.

“Madam, it’s tough on you this time going to the Frontier.” Wang Shouzhe apologized, “There wasn’t much time, and I didn’t prepare enough. The conditions are quite humble, and you are indeed wronged.”

“No problem, no problem, even if it’s hard, it’s worth it to help my husband with a dungeon run.” Liu Ruolan pinched a snack and put it in Wang Shouzhe’s mouth, “My husband had been preparing for this trip recently, that’s really laborious.” Dungeon runs were something she learned from Wang Shouzhe.

The two of them were throwing around their sweetness, showing off their love.

It made Old Ancestor Xuan Fu’s anger rise up, puff puff puff. In her day, she was lucky enough to get an Innate Dao fetus spirit seed, which was intended to cultivate a peerless prodigy.

But now this precious prodigy was tamed by that hateful young Wang Shouzhe into a delicate little princess.

The worst part was, they were enthusiastically throwing around their sweetness all the way.

Dang it, how could a 120-year-old single woman like her bear this?
