The entire auction hall was filled with the smell of gunpowder. It wasn't difficult to imagine how angry Shangguan Chong was right now. A Combat Soul warrior had just retreated, and now, a reckless young man had suddenly appeared and dared to fight him head-on. Shangguan Chong's expression changed drastically.
"Hmph! 60 million! "
Shangguan Chong coldly harrumphed. As a Combat Soul Elder of the Shangguan Clan, if he was suppressed by a young junior, he would lose all his face. Therefore, Shangguan Chong immediately called out the bid of 60 million.
"80 million."
Right after Shangguan Chong finished his bid, Jiang Chen's voice sounded out from private room number three. The huge sum of 80 million came out from Jiang Chen's mouth, and he didn't even cause any fluctuations.
Swoosh!
The bid of eighty million undoubtedly dropped a bomb in the entire auction house. The entire auction house was in an uproar, and no one could remain calm. Even Xu Neng, who was on the auction stage, gaped in shock. The price of eighty million had far exceeded the true value of the Arctic Ice Silkworm. Xu Neng hadn't expected the Arctic Ice Silkworm to be auctioned off at such a price.
Right at this moment, Jiang Chen's image in Xu Neng's mind had become much bigger. He was extremely fond of this young man. As an auctioneer, if he could raise the price of an item to a much higher level than the actual price of the item, he would be rewarded handsomely.
"Crazy, this Chen Jiang is a lunatic! 80 million, where did he get so much money?"
"This is what it means to be filthy rich! Chen Jiang is determined to get this Crystallized Arctic Ice Silkworm, he's even willing to offend the Shangguan Clan! I wonder if the Shangguan Clan will offer a higher price."
"I don't think so, the Shangguan Clan isn't an idiot. The price of the Crystallized Arctic Ice Silkworm has been raised to 80 million, it has exceeded its true value. Although the Shangguan Clan is extremely wealthy, they won't squander their wealth like this. Besides, I'm not sure if Chen Jiang will continue bidding."
… …
The entire auction hall was boiling with excitement. Everyone was talking about Chen Jiang, and his name had once again become a well-known name.
"Good, very good!"
Shangguan Chong said 'good' twice, but his tone was filled with exasperation. Anyone could hear his anger and hatred towards Jiang Chen.
"Little Chenzi, I think you've pissed off that old man from the Shangguan Clan."
Han Yan smiled.
"I killed Shangguan Wei in Inferno Hell, and the Shangguan Clan will become my mortal enemy sooner or later. I don't mind offending them. Furthermore, Little Yu followed me from Flame City to the Black Sect, and I didn't protect her well. This Crystallized Arctic Ice Silkworm, even if I have to pay a huge price, I have to get it."
Jiang Chen's expression was calm, as if he didn't care about Shangguan Chong's anger at all.
"80 million. Do you think that old guy will continue bidding?"
Han Yan said.
"Absolutely not! Although Shangguan Chong is a Combat Soul warrior, he doesn't have that much authority in the Shangguan Clan. Even if he wants to compete for treasures, he has to have a certain amount of money. If he exceeds his budget, it won't be worth it. Furthermore, Shangguan Chong is afraid that I'll continue bidding, and at that point of time, the price of the Crystallized Arctic Ice Silkworm will skyrocket to a frightening height, and that won't bring him any benefits."
Jiang Chen said with a smile on his face.
"What if that old guy purposely increases the price to cheat you?"
Han Yan said.
"Don't worry, he's worried that I'll cheat him. Once the price skyrockets, everyone will be scared."
With Jiang Chen's temperament, he was able to accurately judge people. He was sure that after he bid 80 million, Shangguan Chong wouldn't continue bidding.
"Young master Chen Jiang has bid 80 million, is there anyone who wants to bid higher?"
Xu Neng shouted out. However, the Shangguan Clan's private room became quiet, and no one continued bidding.
"80 million going once, 80 million going twice, 80 million going thrice … I now announce that the Crystallized Arctic Ice Silkworm belongs to young master Chen Jiang! Congratulations, young master Chen Jiang!"
Xu Neng shouted toward the private room where Jiang Chen was staying. After that, a girl walked out from behind the auction stage. It was Xiao Wei. She was dragging the Crystallized Arctic Ice Silkworm and walking toward Jiang Chen.
"Where did this bastard come from? He's courting death, how dare he go against the Shangguan Clan?!"
Within the Shangguan Clan's private room, a Divine Core disciple said while gnashing his teeth in anger.
"This guy's name is Chen Jiang, he has offended the Qingyi Sect and Myriad Sword Sect, and now, he's going against the Shangguan Clan. Does he really think he has nine lives?"
"Brother Xiao is cultivating in the Martial Palace, and he's an Early Combat Soul warrior. He cultivates the Cold Marrow Skill, and if he can get this Crystallized Arctic Ice Silkworm, it will bring him endless benefits! This damn Chen Jiang!"
"Once the auction is over, we can't let him go!"
… …
All the disciples of the Shangguan Clan hated Jiang Chen.
"Enough, there are many people who want to kill him, he won't be able to leave this place alive. Once the auction is over, many people will come looking for him, and we'll just snatch the Crystallized Arctic Ice Silkworm from him."
Shangguan Chong waved his hand, signaling the crowd to quiet down.
On the other side, the door to private room number three was pushed open. Xiao Wei walked in with a golden tray in her hand, and a crystal ball was placed on top of it.
"Young master Chen Jiang is really generous."
With a smile on her face, Xiao Wei said, "I've brought you the Crystallized Arctic Ice Silkworm."
"Thank you, Miss Xiao Wei."
Jiang Chen said with a smile on his face. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the air, causing the crystal ball to fly into his hand and be stored in his storage ring. With his eyesight, he could easily tell that there was nothing wrong with this treasure. The Blissful Manor's reputation wasn't a problem at all.
"It's my honor to be able to serve young master Chen Jiang."
Xiao Wei said with a smile.
"Do I need to give you the 80 million now?"
Jiang Chen asked.
"No need, we'll settle it after the auction is over. Young master Chen Jiang, please continue looking at the treasures. Xiao Wei will take her leave now."
Xiao Wei bowed toward Jiang Chen, then she turned around and left the private room.
The next three treasures were all rare treasures, but Jiang Chen didn't bid on any of them, because these treasures were useless to him. Although he was rich, he wouldn't waste them for no reason. After all, he was a King of Consumables.
These three treasures were obtained by the Myriad Sword Sect, Shangguan Clan, and the Golden Lion respectively. Starting from the Crystallized Arctic Ice Silkworm, all the other treasures were auctioned by the VIP rooms on the second floor. The people below could only watch the show.
"The next treasure could have been the highlight of this auction, and I think it's time for me to take it out. My friends, please take a good look, this treasure is something that countless cultivators dream of having."
Xu Neng's voice was loud and clear. His words immediately caused the atmosphere in the auction hall to become tense.
Everyone's gaze landed on Xu Neng's hand. As if he was performing a magic trick, a roll of sleeves appeared on his palm. The roll of sleeves emitted a faint golden light. From the outside, it was impossible to tell what it was.
"Recorded in this scroll is an extremely frightening movement skill, it's called the Heavenly Wings. It's a High-Ranked Earth Skill, starting price 40 million."
Xu Neng used his Yuan energy to call out the bid of 40 million, and his voice echoed throughout the entire auction hall.
"What? A High-Ranked Earth Skill? Oh heavens, how could someone be willing to auction such a treasure? "
"In the Saint Origin realm, powerful cultivation skills and combat skills are the most precious, and movement skills are even rarer. A High-Ranked Earth Skill is just too rare, I'm afraid even superpowers like the Myriad Sword Sect and Shangguan Clan don't have it."
"That's right. Although the Myriad Sword Sect and Shangguan Clan have deep resources, and they might have High-Ranked Earth Skills and combat skills, they might not have a movement skill of this level. I think the competition for this Heavenly Wings is going to be very intense, I'm afraid many people are going to bid for it."
… …..
The entire audience became restless. As a cultivator, everyone knew the value of a movement skill. A movement skill of the same level was much more precious than a combat skill of the same level. A powerful movement skill could provide a cultivator with incredible strength. Once the cultivator's speed was increased, it would provide them with an unimaginable advantage, whether it was in a fight or for escaping.
This was the most obvious example for Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen's Nine Phantom Wolves had given him a lot of help during the fight.
"45 million."
Right after Xu Neng's words left his mouth, someone immediately called out a bid. It came from a private room on the second floor, and it was the Combat Soul Sect Elder from the Qingyi Sect, Mao Sheng. All the disciples Mao Sheng brought with him were killed by Jiang Chen, and he was all alone right now. He hadn't bid before this, but when he heard the name of the Heavenly Wings, he immediately called out a bid of 45 million.
"50 million."
Old Man Ling Shan also called out a bid. A High-Ranked Earth Skill, let alone a Combat Soul warrior, even a Combat King warrior would want it.
"60 million."
"70 million."
"80 million."
… …..
In the blink of an eye, the price of the Heavenly Wings had risen to 120 million. The last person to call out a bid was the Shangguan Clan. When the bid was called out, all the rogue cultivators and ordinary powers became silent. Many of them had given up, as they had no other choice. Although they really wanted this movement skill, there was a limit to their abilities.
"130 million."
The one who called out the bid was Ye Xiao from the Myriad Sword Sect.
"140 million."
"150 million."
"160 million."
When Shangguan Chong called out a bid of 160 million, no one else called out a bid. Everyone knew that this Heavenly Wings was being fought over by the Myriad Sword Sect and the Shangguan Clan, and no one else had a chance.
"Little Chenzi, aren't you interested in this movement skill?"
Han Yan turned to Jiang Chen and asked.
"I have the Nine Phantom Wolves and the Dimensional Shift skill, so I don't need this Heavenly Wings. Brother Yan, are you interested in this movement skill?"
Jiang Chen looked at Han Yan. Indeed, he didn't have much interest in the Heavenly Wings. The Nine Phantom Wolves was the Bloody Combat Wolf's innate ability, and since he had obtained the Bloody Combat Wolf's bloodline, the strength of this skill would increase along with his cultivation. Furthermore, the Dimensional Shift was far more powerful than the Heavenly Wings, and the Heavenly Wings simply couldn't compare with it. However, Jiang Chen hadn't broken through to the Combat King realm yet, so he couldn't unleash the full potential of the Dimensional Shift.
