"5,000,000 gold!"
An aged voice sounded out, breaking the tranquility of the auction house's hall.
Li Fei's expression froze, and her face was filled with disbelief.
Kerr was stunned as well, and the gaze she looked at Duan Lingtian with was filled with burning admiration.
Duan Lingtian was shocked as well.
He recognized that the owner of this voice was precisely the green clothed old man from before, the grade seven alchemist that was about to become the Master of Black Wind City's Alchemist Guild.
5,000,000 gold?
This price had already completely surpassed the infant Jade-eyed Heavenly Mouse.
The first thought in Duan Lingtian's heart was:
He had earned back the money he spent on the Jade-eyed Heavenly Mouse!
His second thought was:
He could be considered to have experienced the meaning of the words' Things are precious when they are rare. '
As expected, it caused a stir in the auction house's hall.
"That Master Guild Master directly bid 5,000,000 gold?"
"Although he's a grade seven alchemist, he shouldn't have that much money, right?"
"Hmph! Didn't you hear him speak of his identity earlier? An Origin Strengthening Pill with a purity of 91% is of extraordinary significance to the Alchemist Guild. He surely wants to use the wealth of the Alchemist Guild to bid for this Origin Strengthening Pill. "
…
Everyone was shocked by the green clothed old man's generosity.
"I wonder if anyone will continue to bid …."
Many people couldn't help but think in their hearts.
Finally.
"6,000,000 gold!"
That sonorous voice sounded out once more from room number 7.
"It's room number 7 again!"
"Who the hell is the person in room number 7?"
"This is too frightening. Six million gold taels, and he just casually mentioned it."
….
The voice from room number 7 once again caused a stir in the hall.
"7,000,000 gold!"
Right at this moment, the green clothed old man's voice sounded out once more, and at the same time, he said with a serious voice, "Sir, I hope you can give our Alchemist Guild some face."
"Hmph! Let's rely on our own ability. "
The sonorous voice that sounded out from room number 7 didn't give the green clothed old man face in the slightest. "8,000,000 gold!"
The room the green clothed old man was in went silent, and he didn't bid again.
It seemed to have exceeded the price he had in mind.
"Now, the guest in box number seven has bid eight million taels of gold. Are there any other guests who wish to raise the price? Eight million taels of gold going once … eight million taels of gold going twice … "
The old man on the auction stage said excitedly.
"Did the guest in Room 1 give up again?"
"It seems so."
"He doesn't want such a good thing?"
…
Surprised voices could be heard in the hall.
"Eight million taels of gold going thrice! Deal! "
As soon as the old man finished speaking, the Origin Strengthening Pill with a purity of 91% became the possession of the person in room number 7.
In private room number one.
Duan Lingtian laughed. An Origin Strengthening Pill that only cost a little more than a thousand taels of silver was actually sold for eight million taels of gold, which was equivalent to eight hundred million taels of silver!
Even if he deducted the silver used to buy the Jade-eyed Heavenly Mouse and Silver Parting Grass, he still earned over 4 million gold.
"Inconceivable … inconceivable …"
Li Fei felt like she was dreaming.
"Young Master, they're still wondering why you didn't fight for it with the person in room number seven."
Kerr looked at Duan Lingtian and playfully stuck out her tongue.
Fight?
Duan Lingtian laughed as well.
That was something he put up for auction himself!
After a short moment, the attendant knocked on the door again. The manager of the Ma Clan Auction House, Ma Qin, appeared once more, and this time, he passed Duan Lingtian eight million taels of gold. "Congratulations, guest."
Ma Qin's heart was bleeding. A 10% handling fee …
Gone just like that.
Eight million taels of gold, even if it was only a 10% handling fee, it would still be 800,000 taels of gold, which was equivalent to 80 million taels of silver.
"How do we leave?"
Duan Lingtian looked at Ma Qin and asked.
"Guest, we have a special passageway for every guest in the room … You, bring these guests out."
Ma Qin looked at the attendant and instructed.
"Yes."
The attendant hurriedly nodded, then brought Duan Lingtian's group of four out of the room and turned into the special passageway at the side of the room.
As for Ma Qin, his eyes flashed as he gritted his teeth, seeming to have made a difficult decision.
In next to no time, Ma Qin left room number one and walked into room number seven in the end.
Within room number seven, a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance sat there, and behind the middle-aged man were two old men.
When he saw Ma Qin enter, the sonorous voice of the dignified middle-aged man sounded out. "Manager Ma Qin, have you thought it through? I only want that Goldfur Mouse … Everything else is yours. That person was able to pay almost four million taels of gold in one go, he's obviously someone that doesn't lack money. "
The corners of Ma Qin's mouth twitched when he heard this.
That violet-clothed young man naturally didn't lack money.
Not to mention the wealth in his possession, just that Origin Strengthening Pill with a purity of 91% was sold for eight million taels of gold.
As far as he was concerned, the wealth in the possession of that violet-clothed young man absolutely exceeded 10 million taels of gold!
When the dignified middle-aged man noticed that Ma Qin was slightly hesitant, he continued. "If Manager Ma Qin isn't at ease, you can follow behind us … Once we kill them, Manager Ma Qin can directly make an appearance, and you don't have to make a move and you'll be able to obtain all the wealth of that person."
"Manager Ma Qin, an opportunity knocks only once, and it won't come again … What we want you to pay is only their whereabouts."
The dignified middle-aged man glanced deeply at Ma Qin. "I hope Manager Ma Qin can quickly make a decision. Otherwise, once they leave, then everything will be too late."
Needless to say, every word of the dignified middle-aged man bombarded Ma Qin's restless heart.
Outside the Ma Clan Auction House.
Duan Lingtian's group of four walked out in large strides and looked at the surroundings, and they noticed that it was a remote alley that had no one in sight.
"This Ma Clan Auction House is rather considerate. If we leave through this passageway, we'll be completely able to avoid being coveted by others."
Li Fei looked at the surroundings as she evaluated.
Duan Lingtian nodded and walked out in large strides. "Let's first find an inn to stay at, and we'll leave Black Wind City at dawn tomorrow."
However, they'd only taken a few steps when Duan Lingtian became vigilant and stopped moving.
Meanwhile, Xiong Quan, who was behind Duan Lingtian, stopped moving and turned around as well.
"Who are you people?!"
Accompanying Xiong Quan's shocked shout was Duan Lingtian that turned around as well.
With a single glance, he saw the three people that were nearby.
A dignified middle-aged man in azure clothes with an extraordinary bearing.
Behind him followed two old men. The two old men were both in grey clothes, and although their eyes were muddy, they gave off an oppressive aura.
"Three Half-step Void Stage martial artists?"
Relying on his formidable Spiritual Force and the experience of Samsara Emperor Wu, Duan Lingtian noticed the approximate cultivation of the three people at the first possible moment.
He didn't have to think to know that the appearance of the three people here was surely the work of the Ma Clan Auction House.
Ma Clan Auction House!
A trace of a cold light flashed within Duan Lingtian's eyes. He hated people that didn't keep their word and stabbed others in the back the most.
"You're from the Ma Clan?"
Duan Lingtian's gaze descended onto the three people before him as he asked in a low voice.
"Ma Clan?"
The dignified middle-aged man in the lead spoke with a loud and clear voice. "Do you think we're from the Ma Clan?"
Duan Lingtian's face sank when he heard the dignified middle-aged man's voice. "You're from room number 7?"
"Exactly."
The dignified middle-aged man's gaze descended onto the little gold mouse that lay on Kerr's shoulder, then he glanced at Kerr and Li Fei, and a trace of shock flashed within his eyes. "Kid, your mistake today is that you shouldn't have bid for this Goldfur Mouse with me … Unfortunately, these two little beauties are going to be buried with you today. Needless to say, your luck with women is really great. "
Duan Lingtian came to a sudden understanding. So it turned out that the middle-aged man had come for the little gold mouse.
Goldfur Mouse?
Duan Lingtian laughed in his heart.
Yet he wondered what expression this person would have if he knew the little gold mouse's true identity.
Perhaps he would be wild with joy …
"Are you so sure that you can kill us?"
Duan Lingtian looked at the dignified middle-aged man with a calm gaze as he asked indifferently.
As soon as Duan Lingtian finished speaking, he seemed to have noticed something, and his brows raised as his gaze swept towards the distance …
He'd noticed a figure that was concealed in the distance.
This figure wasn't unfamiliar to him.
The manager of the Ma Clan Auction House, Ma Qin!
Now, he understood that Ma Qin had surely come to some sort of agreement with the middle-aged man before him, and they'd colluded together to betray him.
"Ma Qin."
Killing intent arose in Duan Lingtian's heart.
"What? Could it be that you think the four of you and this Goldfur Mouse can go against us?"
The middle-aged man couldn't help but laugh when he heard Duan Lingtian. The gaze he looked at Duan Lingtian now was as if he was looking at a weak little child, and he utterly didn't take Duan Lingtian seriously.
"You can try."
Duan Lingtian grinned, and the smile on his face was filled with a trace of evil.
"Hmm?"
The middle-aged man frowned when faced with Duan Lingtian who was composed as before, and he became vigilant.
He and the two old men behind him started to look around.
After noticing that no one was concealing themselves in the surroundings, the middle-aged man looked at Duan Lingtian, and the corners of his mouth curled into a sneer. "You wouldn't be thinking that acting mysterious in front of me is of any use, right? Since you want to seek death, then I'll send you on your way … Elder Peng! "
As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, one of the old men behind him flashed out, and he seemed to have transformed into a swiftly flashing cheetah as he pounced towards Duan Lingtian.
Vast Origin Energy roiled on the old man's body.
Moreover, 1,500 ancient mammoth silhouettes had even appeared in the sky above him …
Half-step Void Stage!
Duan Lingtian's expression didn't change when facing the old man that approached menacingly, and he slowly spoke with a cold and indifferent voice. "Xiong Quan, I'll give you two breaths of time."
"Yes, Young Master."
At practically the instant Duan Lingtian finished speaking, Xiong Quan replied and moved.
His entire body instantly vanished on the spot.
Swish!
An exceedingly swift sword light flashed past, and the head of the old man that charged towards Duan Lingtian fell, and dazzling fresh blood gushed out from half of his body like a fountain.
