For the first Monster Core of the Fifth Order, it could be said that everyone was giving face to the Harlidor Clan and did not participate in the fight for it. This was because they knew that the Harlidor Clan would become one of the top forces in the Blue Wind Kingdom in the near future. Unless they had no other choice, no one was willing to take the initiative to provoke the Harlidor Clan. Therefore, only two parties were competing for the first Monster Core of the Fifth Order.
And this second Rank Five Monster Core was the last one in this auction, so it was absolutely not to be missed. Therefore, the bidding for it was very intense.
"Two hundred and forty thousand purple coins …"
"Two hundred and fifty thousand purple coins …"
The bidding was still going on, but with the price reaching such a high level, very few people were willing to bid. 250,000 purple coins had already exceeded the expectations of many people. Unless they really needed this 5th step monster core, no one would be willing to pay such a high price for it.
"260,000 purple gold." After a short while, someone finally bid again, but this time, it was the Harido Clan. The Harido Clan did not bid for the first Class Monster Core, so they did not break the contract by participating in the bidding for the second Class Monster Core.
"The Shenwu Clan bids 270,000 purple gold."
"The Raging Inferno Clan bids 280,000 purple gold."
"The Feng Clan bids 290,000 purple gold."
"The Gu Yun Clan bids 300,000 purple gold."
The Harlidor Clan's bid was quickly overtaken. Now, the price of the second Rank 5 Monster Core had already reached 300,000 purple gold coins. Very few people could accept such an expensive price, and the local powers of Phoenix City no longer had the ability to continue competing. This price had far exceeded their expectations.
In the VIP room where the three great clans of Fengyang City were resting, the City Lord shook his head with a sigh and said, "Looks like we are not fated to obtain this Rank 5 Monster Core. The wealth of these great clans and sects from first class cities is not something we can compare to."
"What a pity. It's rare for a Rank 5 Monster Core to appear in our Phoenix City, but we simply have no fate with it. This damned Heavenly Phoenix Auction House, it's all their fault for spreading the news of the Rank 5 Monster Cores. That's why so many great powers have come. Otherwise, these two Rank 5 Monster Cores would have definitely been obtained by us," a middle-aged man said in a deep voice, his face filled with regret.
"The Feng Clan bids 310,000 purple gold."
"The Condor Mercenary Group bids 320,000 purple coins."
"The Feng Clan bids three hundred and twenty-five thousand purple coins."
"The Condor Mercenary Group bids 330,000 purple coins."
After more than three hundred thousand purple gold coins, very few people participated in the auction. Until now, only the Feng Clan and the Condor Mercenary Group were still fiercely competing.
Following that, the Feng Clan and the Condor Mercenary Group competed with each other for a few more rounds, pushing the price to a high price of three hundred and fifty thousand purple gold coins.
After reaching the high price of three hundred and fifty thousand purple gold coins, the Feng Clan didn't bid anymore. Once the competition between the two sides stopped, the lively auction hall also became strangely quiet.
The silence lasted for a while. Seeing that no one else was willing to bid, Yurian shouted, "The Condor Mercenary Group offers 350,000 purple coins. Is there anyone who wants to go higher? 350,000 purple coins going once."
"Three hundred and fifty thousand purple coins going twice."
"Three hundred and fifty thousand purple coins going three times." The wooden gavel in Yurian's hand fell heavily as she said, "I now announce that the second Monster Core of the fifth step has been purchased by the Condor Mercenary Group in VIP room number fifteen for 350,000 purple gold coins."
Inside VIP room number eight, Ming Dong looked at Jianchen with a puzzled expression and said, "Brother, did you just sell the second Monster Core of the fifth step just like that?"
Jianchen muttered, "According to my original plan, these two Monster Cores of the fifth step shouldn't have been sold. However, I changed my mind at the last moment. Since the second Monster Core was won by a mercenary group, then let them have it. Perhaps we will meet with the Condor Mercenary Group very soon. For now, it's best not to make our relationship too stiff."
"That's right. Since we want these mercenary groups to submit, it's best not to accumulate grievances with them. Otherwise, when the time comes to make them submit, it will be very difficult." Princess You Yue also agreed.
Jianchen stood up from his chair and said, "Now that the auction is over, we should leave this place. I'm afraid there will be a good show in a while."
This time, the Heavenly Phoenix Auction House had mainly auctioned off two Monster Cores of the fifth step. Now that the auction was over, the auction had officially come to an end. The people sitting in the VIP rooms all stood up and left the Heavenly Phoenix Auction House through the VIP passageway.
Jianchen's group of four arrived at the backstage of the Heavenly Phoenix Auction House. This was a place that specialized in handling the transaction of goods. Some of the more valuable transactions were carried out here.
This time, the Heavenly Phoenix Auction House's supervisor, Yurian, personally sat on the stage and handled the transaction for the two parties that had won the Monster Cores of the fifth step.
Jianchen's group arrived at the counter and personally handed over the VIP room number and a purple-gold card to Yurian. Yurian took the VIP room number from Jianchen and looked at it. When she discovered that the VIP room number that Jianchen handed over was the number eight room that had always been at odds with the Harido Clan, she couldn't help but look surprised. She then carefully sized up Jianchen's group and became more and more surprised. She didn't expect that the mysterious VIP who had always been at odds with the Harido Clan was actually these four young men in front of her. They didn't even have a single elder. This was worlds apart from what she had imagined.
"Young Master and Young Miss, you are really bold. You actually bid a high price of three hundred thousand for a Monster Core of the fifth step. How should I address you, Young Master and Young Miss?" Yurian asked with a smile on her face. Her attitude was very enthusiastic as she tried to find out more about their backgrounds from their names.
Jianchen replied with a smile, "Supervisor Yurian, please hurry up and handle the transaction for us!"
Seeing that the other party wasn't willing to reveal their names, Yurian didn't continue to harp on this topic lest she incurred the other party's displeasure. She smiled and said, "Alright, this young lady will handle the transaction for you now."
At this time, a few middle-aged men in tight robes walked over and sized up Jianchen's group from afar. The burly middle-aged man walking at the front smiled and said, "These Young Masters and Young Misses must be the ones who have been bidding with the Harido Clan in VIP room number eight. I am the leader of the Condor Mercenary Band, Eagle Zhangkong. Greetings."
Jianchen turned around and saw that the leader of the Condor Mercenary Band was a middle-aged man in his fifties. He was dressed in tight black robes and had a burly build. He was at least two meters tall, a head taller than Jianchen. On the left side of his face, there was a hideous wound that destroyed the entire left side of his face, making him look even more ferocious.
The leader of the Condor Mercenary Band, Eagle Zhangkong, was also curious about Jianchen's group. "Young Masters and Young Misses, may I know which noble clan you are from in the Blue Wind Kingdom? Perhaps I, Eagle Zhangkong, have some relations with your elders. Oh right, I heard that you are from some mercenary band. Is that true?"
Jianchen smiled and said, "Regarding this question, please allow me to keep it a secret for now. Eagle Zhangkong, we will meet again very soon." As they spoke, Yurian finished the procedures for Jianchen and handed over the box containing the Class 5 Monster Core and the Purple Gold Card to Jianchen.
Jianchen put away the Purple Gold Card and the Class 5 Monster Core and prepared to leave with Ming Dong and the others. The leader of the Condor Mercenary Band, Eagle Zhangkong, stood there, pondering over Jianchen's words.
Outside the Heavenly Phoenix Auction House, an endless stream of people walked out of the auction house. Outside the VIP passageway, two old men from the Harido Family, Karazar and Enske, stood there with cold expressions on their faces as they waited for the person in VIP Room 8 to come out. Around them, many people from various major forces had gathered, ready to watch the show. They all wanted to see who exactly was the person who had been opposing the Harido Family.
At this time, Dugu Feng, dressed in a red robe, returned from outside the city and swaggered towards the Heavenly Phoenix Auction House. Now that the auction was over, the mission Jianchen had given him had been completed. There was no need for him to hide anymore.
"Look, he's the one who brought the two Class 5 Monster Cores to the Heavenly Phoenix Auction House."
Just as Dugu Feng approached the Heavenly Phoenix Auction House, he was immediately discovered by the people who had been tailing him a few days ago. They all reported this to their respective masters.
At this time, the various powers that were originally focused on the VIP passageway turned their gazes towards the red-robed Dugu Feng.
"Wu Yun, he's definitely Wu Yun. Hmph, Wu Yun knows how to change his appearance. Don't think that you can hide from us just because you changed your appearance." A middle-aged man from the You Lan Family stared coldly at Dugu Feng and said in a deep voice, his eyes burning with hatred.
The Pavilion Master of the Flowing Cloud Sword Pavilion also looked at Dugu Feng and said, "Zhou Tong, is he Wu Yun?"
Vice Pavilion Master Zhou Tong stared at Dugu Feng for a while and said, "He doesn't look like he did two years ago. However, Wu Yun knows how to change his appearance. His ability to change his appearance is flawless. It's impossible to tell. I think this person is most likely Wu Yun. He just changed his appearance again. Other than him, who else can take out two Class 5 Monster Cores?"
"Facing so many people, this Wu Yun is still so calm and composed. I think that he most likely has something to rely on. Let's just watch the show, there's no need for us to interfere." The Pavilion Master of the Flowing Cloud Sword Pavilion said.
