Under the gazes of the crowd, the young lady slowly walked forward a few steps. With a wave of her jade-like hand, she retrieved an ancient looking small box from the center of the stage. Inside the box was a silk towel and she carefully opened it up on the stage.

The branches were completely emerald green. However, one could see a golden liquid that was slowly flowing within the pale-green branches. It appeared as though it was emitting a faint golden glow.

Looking at the jade-green branch, the gazes of everyone in the crowd immediately became hot. One by one, they rubbed their hands together, preparing to take it into their pockets.

"This thing is called the Earth Jadeite Branch. It is an Earth Grade One spirit medicine. I think everyone is extremely familiar with the place it came from as well. It is in the Azure Sky Mountain Range."

"The medicinal effects are able to quickly recover soul power. Furthermore, with Grandmaster Wu's personal confirmation, we can all be at ease with the effects of this Earth Jadeite Branch." The young lady laughed softly. Then, her eyes suddenly locked onto Xia Hun Wu. A crafty expression surged within her smile: "I believe that everyone is extremely familiar with today's selection battle, right? It had to be known that last year, the young master had used a jade-green branch. Everyone could see him at his current cultivation level.

"Originally, he had no soul power, but now that he has reached the third level of the Soul Dueling Realm, his attainment in the Spiritual Array Master is quite good. As for whether this young master's visit was for this jade-like branch, I do not know …" As she finished speaking, the young girl's beautiful eyes flashed with a sense of complacency.

"This little girl Xiao Ya sure knows how to use things to her advantage!" Seeing this, Zhou Huai helplessly shook his head. After such a promotional campaign, the price of this jade-green branch would definitely rise to a terrifying number. After all, Xia Hengwu's performance today was simply too dazzling.

As expected, everyone turned their gazes towards the front row when they heard Xiao Ya's words. As they turned to look at the lazy Xia Hun Wu, exclamations of admiration continuously sounded out from the surroundings. Although there were a lot of people who were going to watch the preliminaries today, there were also many who did not participate.

The young master Hun Wu, who had previously known himself as a trash in the Cloud Sea City, was no longer the same person from before. Now that he had such a living specimen in his possession, it deepened their desire to obtain this Earth Grade Elixir.

Nearby, a figure stared coldly at Xia Hengwu, who had become the focal point of the auction area. A disdainful sneer was plastered on his face as he disappeared from the auction house.

Xia Hun Wu, who was being stared at, turned his body uncomfortably. He didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. This girl called Xiao Ya was too smart. Now that he had a living specimen, it would be hard to not increase the price of this Earth Grade Elixir!

"This woman …" "He is simply a born merchant!"

Xia Hun Wu helplessly shook his head as he sighed in his heart. He was not used to being stared at by the surrounding people, but when he thought of the jade-green branch on the platform, he could only sit there obediently and glare at the smiling Xiao Ya.

Despite being glared at by Xia Hun Wu, Xiao Ya didn't avoid his gaze at all. In any case, while Xia Hun Wu was dumbstruck, she replied with an extremely alluring smile, causing both Zhou Yao and Zhou Huai, who were sitting beside him, to let out an inexplicable smile.

"This Ground Jade Branch, starting bid for five hundred thousand soul martial coins!"

The smiling Xiao Ya on the stage opened her mouth wide. In the past, this jade-green branch was only able to fetch a price of three hundred thousand soul martial coins, but now, this Xiao Ya has nearly doubled the price. "

"This little girl is so ruthless …" Below the stage, Zhou Huai cracked his lips and immediately shook his head. Xiao Qing He's old man who only knew how to study books, how could he have such a shrewd granddaughter.

After Xiao Ya announced the price, the entire arena instantly quieted down. Soon after, Zhou Huai's indifferent voice instantly broke the quiet atmosphere.

"Five hundred thousand!" A calm voice, mixed with a determined tone, resounded throughout the entire arena.

Xiao Ya, who was on the stage, was extremely shocked as she looked at the current Zhou Huai, who was brimming with heroic spirit. She was stunned for a moment before she smiled and asked, "Is there anyone else who wants to continue raising the price?"

A figure seated to the left of the stage stared coldly at the faintly laughing Zhou Huai, his eyes slightly flickering. "Five hundred and fifty thousand!"

"Xia Ze?" Xia Hun Wu looked over and said when he saw the person who spoke.

In the end, the Xia family still couldn't help themselves and took action. Since Xia Ze was here, they naturally obtained his approval. However, other than him, no one else in the Xia Clan seemed to need this kind of Earth Grade Elixir …!

"Heh, so you're here to raise the price." Xia Hun Wu's eyes narrowed as he pondered for a moment.

"Six hundred thousand!" As if casting a disdainful glance at Xia Ze, Zhou Huai waved his hand, showing a heroic attitude. "I'll follow as many as you dare," he said.

Seeing Zhou Huai's determined attitude, the corner of Xia Ze's mouth twitched. In the depths of his eyes, there seemed to be some hesitation before he gritted his teeth and said, "Six hundred and fifty thousand!"

One after another, exclamations could be heard. Normally, the price of an Earth Grade Elixir would only be around four hundred thousand. Now, you have to use six hundred and fifty thousand to buy this piece of jade branch, it is obviously a huge loss for your maternal grandma. "

He smiled lightly, shook his head, and said to Zhou Huai in a low voice, "Grandpa Zhou, I bet if you dare to raise the price again, that guy will immediately sell this loser's money to us. This price is enough for us to buy two plants."

After being silent for a moment, he suddenly stood up and looked playfully at Xia Ze. After a moment, he suddenly let out a soft laugh and the words he said caused Xia Ze's face to immediately darken: "You win …"

Once Zhou Huai's words rang out, the entire stadium quietened down. After a while, numerous gazes that were gloating turned towards the ashen-faced Xia Ze.

"This Xia Ze is really amazing. Six hundred and fifty thousand yuan for an Earth Grade Elixir, he really is a tycoon!" Seeing the gloomy face of Xia Ze, Xia Hun Wu lowered his head and laughed softly.

Looking at the gloating Xia Hun Wu, Zhou Yao also chimed in, "That's right, that's right. In the past, the Xia family only used three hundred thousand yuan to purchase this green branch. Although this Earth Grade spirit herb is extremely rare in the auction house, it doesn't even cost six hundred and fifty thousand yuan to purchase it.
