Chapter 146: Chapter 68 Zhuming Chengye_2

Though she can be tough sometimes, Bai Xue never let Shen Yuan down when it mattered.

Today’s events only gave Shen Yuan a deeper respect for Bai Xue, no longer viewing her as a mere pet kitten.

Spending some spirit stones to make Bai Xue happy was naturally a good deal.

For Shen Yuan, who held the Pot’s Heaven Divine Power, spirit stones had nearly lost their meaning.

“Three hundred and ninety spirit stones, for the third time!”

“Congratulations to the occupant of Sky Number Five Box for winning the bid for the Mingguang Flying Sword!”

The echo of Yan Xiao’s voice filled the room, plunging the Heaven’s Pride Association’s box into another solemn silence.

They recognized the voice bidding from Sky Number Five Box as Xue Mingzhi’s, who had consecutively won two items at the auction, spending over a thousand spirit stones in total.

And the next item up for auction was yet another that Xin Mingzhi was bidding on, displaying a determination to win at all costs.

Such circumstances finally forced the people of the Heaven’s Pride Association to undeceived themselves.

And at the ground window of the third floor, that little kitten that had vanished just before was once again in sight, flaunting the small bell on her collar at Wen

Ya.

Alan object worth a thousand spirit stones, casually hung as a decoration on a kitten’s neck, left everyone with a numb feeling.

Especially Qi Renyu and Jiang Meng, who finally realized why Xue Mingzhi had shown such respect towards Shen Yuan.

Could a man of such wealth be appraised by common sense?

They were filled with regret for not choosing to follow Teacher Shen closely back then. What a missed opportunity it was!

While others in the Heaven’s Pride Association could only sigh at Xue Mingzhi’s fortune, these two had actually missed out on a great chance.

At that moment, Li Han’s voice suddenly rang out.

“Remember Qi Renyu and Jiang Meng? They came with Teacher Shen, didn’t they? Don’t they have any connection with him?”

Instantly, all eyes fell on Qi Renyu and Jiang Meng, filled with mockery.

Since Xue Mingzhi had already firmly established his connection with the big shot, there was no need for them to distress over at the disparity between him and themselves.

Focusing on the unlucky ones who had missed their chance might offer some consolation for their state of mind.

Amidful this derision, Qi Renyu and Jiang Meng remained silent, their faces flushing.

“Congratulations to the occupant of Sky Number Five Box for winning the bid on the Class 3 spirit material, orichalcum.”

Not only had the people from the Heaven’s Pride Association gone numb, but everyone else in the trading floor had too. The Sky Number Five Box had bagged all the auction items.

It was not that no one else had tried to bid. But when the price of the Elemental Qi refining method manual went up to 4.000 spirit stones, no one dared to further raise the price.

If Sky Number Five Box gave up on the auction, no one could afford such a loss, and they had no choice but to withdraw.

Some roughly estimated that Sky Number Five Box had spent nearly 30,000 spirit stones at this auction, almost equivalent to the total output of a small spirit stone mine.

Xue Mingzhi, initially ecstatic, had also gone numb from the shock.

Yan Xiao, exasperated, glanced at Sky Number Five Box and announced to the crowd:

“The next item is the penultimate highlight of our auction, a magic-repelling jade Storage Ring, near magical treasure level.”

“This Storage Ring is made from Class 2 spirit material, magic-repelling jade.

It can withstand some spell attacks to a certain extent, and keep it steady internally for at least 500 years.”

“As for its size, it meets the standard of a prized Storage Ring.

“The starting bid for this Storage Ring is 2,000 spirit stones. Let the bidding begin!”

The room fell silent; hearing of such a high-level Storage Ring, many sect members’ eyes lit up.

A space of magical treasure size, meaning it could carry out a medium-sized ritual altar or formation from a blessed land. This, to any sect, is a treasure of strategic value.

However…

Everyone subconsciously turned their eyes towards Tian Character Five Box, only to be surprised that they didn’t bid immediately.

Everyone paused, then a wild joy swelled in their hearts, immediately they began to bid vigorously.

“Three thousand spirit stones!”

“Five thousand spirit stones!”

“Five thousand, five hundred spirit stones!”

In the box, Shen Yuan spoke to Xue Mingzhi, “Let’s not bid this time, there’s no need to attract Mount Laojun’s animosity over a few spirit stones.”

With Shen Yuan abstaining from the bidding, and the actual value of this storage ring being exceptional, the major sects were more eager than ever, quickly driving the bid up to eleven thousand spirit stones.

Even a few third floor boxes joined the auction.

Yen Xiao only felt a pang of pain. Shen Yuan’s influence had driven the price of the storage ring beyond its actual value, with every thousand increase representing an extra twelve thousand spirit stones they would have to pay. At this moment, an arrogant voice rang out from box four on the third floor.

“The Sunn Family bids eleven thousand, one hundred spirit stones!

We are here to participate in the auction in search of clues to the River Ji Dragon Seal. We ask that you all give some face to the River Ji Dragon Palace.’

His blatant show of force abruptly halted the atmosphere.

Most recognized the speaker as the River Ji Dragon Palace’s chosen proxy, Sunn Lanyu, known as The Mad Dog of Great Xia.

in the past month, Sunn Lanyu had made a name for himself in the Cultivation World. No matter who he met, he could lent at them under the pretext of looking for the River Ji Dragon Seal, and most had no viable countermeasure against him.

Even when he instigated the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, the Azure Dragon envoy only disabled half his arm, and there were no substantial punishments.

Which made most people avoid the entire Sunn Family of Cang Province if possible.

Everyone knew that Sunn Lanyu was flaunting his power under the guise of the River Ji Dragon Palace. Nevertheless, they had to swallow this bitter pill, and for a moment, no one called out another bid.

“Congratulations to our esteemed guest in Sky Number Four Box for winning the Storage Ring.”

“However, please bear in mind, we are in Yunfu Market, not the waters of the River Ji!”

Even though Sunn Lanyu had saved Mount Laojun a lot of spirit stones, such disregard for the rules would undoubtedly invite trouble. Hence, Yen Xiao was compelled to issue a warning.

Sunn Lanyu snorted coldly, completely unconcerned.

Meanwhile, inside the box, Shen Yuan curiously looked towards the direction of the Sky Number Four Box, somewhat surprised to encounter Sunn Lanyu here. “Sunn Lanyu? He seems to be doing quite well under the guise of the River Ji Dragon Palace’s agent.

I wonder if there has been any progress in the search for the True Dragon of the Yellow River.”

Shen Yuan was completely indifferent to Sunn Lanyu’s display of power, but was greatly intrigued about the potential future path of this mad dog.

Down on the stage, with a serious look on his face, Yen Xiao announced:

“Next is the last auction item, and the target of many guests attending the trade fair.”

Yen Xiao’s storage ring trembled, revealing a heat tremor, and then a small sun appeared in his hand.

“Qi of heaven and earth, Zhuming Chengye!”
