The patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan, Jian Chen, was determined to obtain the Pyrogold. All the people from the Overgod clans hesitated when they heard Xi Yu's words. Deep fear filled their eyes.
When the news of the Divine King Duanmu's dwelling in the Dong 'an province of the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian leaked out, basically all the ancestors of these organisations had taken part in the fight for the Divine King's fortune. Naturally, they were familiar with Jianchen.
When they had come to the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian to participate in the centennial auction of the Imperial United Merchant's Association, their ancestors had warned them not to offend the Tianyuan family in the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian unless they had no other choice.
Even if they had to offend the Yang family, they could not offend the Tianyuan family.
The warning from their ancestors made all of them realise that the Tianyuan family was not to be trifled with. As a result, when they heard that the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan, Jianchen, was determined to obtain the Pyrogold, some of the people who originally wanted to bid for it began to hesitate.
The elders from the Overgod organisations did not doubt Mo Yan at all when she said that Jianchen had killed an Overgod in a single strike. This was because their ancestors had personally witnessed this and told them that it was true.
Even though he had only killed an early Overgod, he had only used a single strike.
However, the people who did not have the right to enter the box and were currently in the auction hall refused to believe this. They all voiced their doubts, and there was no lack of Gods among them.
Xi Yu and Mo Yan could not be bothered to explain themselves when faced with these doubts. They only hoped to deter the Overgod organisations so that they would back off and not take part in the bidding for the Pyrogold. As for the people who did not have the right to bid for the Pyrogold, it did not matter whether they believed Jianchen's glorious feat of killing an Overgod in a single strike or not.
"Since the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan needs the Pyrogold, our Guhun clan will not be taking part …"
A middle-aged man stood before the window of a box. He clasped his fist towards Xi Yu with a smile and spoke extremely politely.
"So, it's Family Patriarch Guhun. Thank you, Family Patriarch Guhun, for your reluctance to part with this treasure," Xi Yu said with a cupped fist salute.
The Guhun clan was an Overgod organisation in the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian. They had always been on good terms with the Tianyuan family.
"Haha, we originally wanted the Pyrogold, but I never thought that the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan would need it as well. If that's the case, our Ling family won't be participating in the auction." The window of another VIP box was opened. The head of the Ling family stood in front of the window and said with an amiable smile on his face.
In the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian, the Tianyuan family possessed some deterrence due to Jianchen's support. Even ignoring the Tianyuan family that had always been on good terms with the Tianyuan family, many Overgod organisations in the royal capital feared the Tianyuan family slightly.
Afterwards, basically all the Overgod clans in the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian expressed that they would give up on the Pyrogold regardless of whether they were interested in it or not. On one hand, they were giving face to the Tianyuan family, and on the other hand, they were expressing their goodwill.
After the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian, the Overgod organisations from the other divine kingdoms did not want to fall behind either. They expressed their intentions one after another. Even the clans that were truly interested in the Pyrogold could not help but give up after weighing the pros and cons.
All of them remembered their ancestor's warning. They could not provoke the Tianyuan family unless they had no other choice. Although the Pyrogold was a supreme grade material that was rarely seen in this region, there was more than one piece. There was no need to offend a powerful Overgod over a single piece of material.
The two elders of the Yang family who were also sitting in the VIP box had uncertain expressions at this moment. They seemed to be hesitant.
"I never thought that the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan would need the Pyrogold as well, and he's determined to get it. However, our ancestor needs the Pyrogold as well. Are we supposed to compete with the Tianyuan family for it? "said one of the elders. He was filled with anxiety.
The other elder said after a moment of thought, "If we bid, we'll definitely offend the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan. We can't act recklessly. In my opinion, we should report this to the ancestor as soon as possible and get him to make a decision."
"There's no time to lose. Let's return right now." The two elders no longer cared about the remaining items. They left the auction house as quickly as they could, hurrying back to the Yang family as quickly as they could.
.....
No one else bid on the Pyrogold in the huge auction house anymore.
The host of the auction, Ou Di, was helpless about this situation. The Pyrogold would definitely be worth more than that. If it were a regular auction, it would be worth five hundred thousand high grade divine crystals at the very least. Now, it could only benefit the Tianyuan family.
In the end, the Pyrogold was purchased by Xi Yu for a hundred thousand high grade divine crystals.
Jianchen still had not returned to his senses when the next item was presented. He sat in his viewing box as he stared at Xi Yu's box. His face was filled with shock.
Not only was he surprised to see Xi Yu and Mo Yan here, but he had also never thought that Xi Yu would purchase the Pyrogold so cheaply in such a manner.
A while later, Jianchen shook his head with a gentle smile. He murmured to himself, "I never thought I'd have such great influence. I'm not surprised that the people from the five great provincial cities of the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian have withdrawn from the bidding. After all, I've worked with their ancestors in the past. I just never thought that the clans with Overgods from other divine kingdoms would give me so much face as well. This has exceeded my expectations. "
It was also at this moment that Jianchen could not help but think back to when he and Shen Jian had first arrived in the Saints' World. They had come across the early God ancestor of the Lu family, Lu Tian, and faced a battle to the death.
Yet now, in just a few short decades, he had become an expert that all Overgod organisations feared. Jianchen could not help but sigh in amazement at the great change.
The auction continued. Overgod level formation discs and Truth Tier Battle Skills that could even tempt Overgods appeared at the end. Every single one of them was sold for over ten blocks of high grade divine crystals.
Even Overgod organisations with great heritages would be tempted by treasures like that, causing them to fight tooth and nail over them. Even when they faced powerful clans that they feared, they would not back down at all.
This was because every single one of these items held great significance to their clans. It would have an extremely long-term impact and would directly affect the future of their clans.
However, the Tianyuan family did not take part in the auction. It was not that the Tianyuan family did not lack these items. Instead, they did not have the wealth to do so.
The Pyrogold was only a supreme grade material, so everyone could back down a little and not take part in the auction. However, when it came to Overgod level formation discs and Truth Tier Battle Skills that could tempt even Overgods, they obviously would not back down at all.
At the same time, the two elders who had left the auction stood politely with the patriarch of the Yang family, Yang Aoran, outside a secret room in the forbidden grounds of the Yang family.
"Why have you disturbed my cultivation?" A dignified voice rang out from the secret room. It was the ancestor of the Yang family, Yang Kai.
Yang Aoran and the two elders immediately bowed deeply towards the secret room. One of the elders said, "Ancestor, the Pyrogold that you need has appeared in the centennial auction of the Emperor United Merchant's Association."
"What? You've found the Pyrogold? "Yang Kai's excited voice rang out from the secret room. It was filled with great joy.
However, he calmed down very soon and continued, "Have you come across any difficulties in the process of competing for the Pyrogold?"
"You are wise, ancestor. The patriarch of the Tianyuan family also needs the Pyrogold very much. And a few days ago, there were rumors that the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan had broken through once again while in seclusion in the Divine King Duanmu's dwelling. If we bid for the Pyrogold, it's extremely likely for us to offend the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan. This matter is just too important, so we can't make the decision. As a result, we've come to ask for your opinion, ancestor," said the elder.
The secret room fell silent. Only after quite a while did Yang Kai speak again, "Who has come to the royal capital from the Tianyuan family? Is Jianchen in the royal capital?"
"Ancestor, it's elder Xi Yu from the Tianyuan family. As for the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan, we have no idea where he is. All we know is that he has appeared in the Ling family in the Swordseeking province recently. And elder Lu of our clan was slain by an unknown Overgod in the royal capital three days ago, "Yang Aoran said. The patriarch of the Yang family, Yang Aoran, said politely. He reported the details of elder Lu's death to the ancestor. He did his best to cover up Yang Tie's responsibility and pushed the blame to the Overgod whose origins they had yet to discover.
"Let's put elder Lu's death aside for now. The Pyrogold is extremely important to me, so I must obtain it. Yang Aoran, you and Yang Lianxin will personally go. Bring a few elders with you. You must invite Xi Yu over," Yang Kai's voice rang out from the secret room.
