"Why is the reserve price so low? I nearly missed it."
"It doesn't matter. Even if the reserve price for such a divine item is zero, it will quickly reach ten million Black Astral Coins. I just find it strange that such an item appeared in the auction house. Why would someone with the ability to obtain such an item auction it? "
A thought occurred to Xiao Chen. He asked, "Little Ao Jiao, should we bid for this Heptagold Origin? If I succeed in breaking through to Emperor Wu, the Lunar Shadow Saber will have to advance to a Divine Weapon."
Ao Jiao, who was in the Immortal Spirit Ring, remained silent for a while. Then, she shook her head and said, "There's no need. I know where to find a Heptagold Origin. When you advance to Consummation Emperor Wu, I will bring you there. There is no need to rush the Lunar Shadow Saber. If it does not advance to a Divine Weapon, then so be it. Once it does, it will definitely make it onto the Divine Weapon Ranking. "
Xiao Chen rejoiced in his heart. He smiled and said, "There is such a place? Why did you not tell me about it?"
Ao Jiao smiled and did not reply. She had to tell Xiao Chen the location of the Thunder King's inheritance.
As for the Thunder King's final wish, that would depend on Xiao Chen's own choice. The most important thing now was to help Xiao Chen succeed in breaking through to Emperor Wu. Otherwise, everything would be for naught.
The Thunder King probably did not want to see Xiao Chen become a meteor at such a young age, disappearing in a flash.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen thought of something. With the Heptagold Origin here, that Jadeite Mountain Manor's Manor Lord, Fei Lengyi, would definitely come. If Xiao Chen managed to obtain this Heptagold Origin, there was a seventy to eighty percent chance that the Heavenly Cloud Jadeite Sword would advance to a Transcendent Divine Weapon.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly when he felt an extremely strong aura. He looked up and saw a middle-aged man with an imposing appearance and an air of arrogance. He was escorted by a group of servants as he walked in with large strides.
There was an uproar in the hall. Many Lesser Tier Blue Robed Emperors stood up and greeted them.
When Xiao Chen heard how this middle-aged man addressed him, he put down the list and revealed a faint smile. "What a coincidence. I was just thinking about this Fei Lengyi when this fellow appeared."
With this person around, Xiao Chen had a premonition that the Heptagold Origin would definitely be auctioned off for a sky-high price. Fortunately, Ao Jiao knew of a place with a Heptagold Origin. Otherwise, she would have to spend a lot of Black Astral Coins to compete with this person.
As more and more Blue Robed Emperors entered, the atmosphere in the hall became more and more lively.
At the doors, Xiao Chen saw a familiar figure. An attendant led Yue Bingyun to the VIP room on the fifth floor.
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. He wondered what kind of expression Yue Bingyun would have when she saw the Heptagold Origin on the auction list.
If Fei Lengyi obtained this item and the Heavenly Cloud Jadeite Sword successfully became a Transcendent Divine Weapon, her mission would be considered a complete failure.
Wait, why does this feel somewhat strange?
If Ao Jiao did not know that there were Heptagold Origins elsewhere, he would definitely try to obtain this Heptagold Origin at all costs. That would be equivalent to him helping Yue Bingyun.
Furthermore, Yue Bingyun was the one who introduced him to this auction. Could it be a coincidence?
That was not right. Yue Bingyun did not know that Xiao Chen obtained the Dragon's Gate Treasure Trove and did not think that his wealth was stronger than Fei Lengyi's. Given Yue Bingyun's cautious character, she absolutely would not place all her hopes on Xiao Chen.
At this moment, in the private room, Yue Bingyun looked at the Heptagold Origin on the list and revealed a faint smile.
No matter how Xiao Chen guessed, he could not guess what Yue Bingyun's plan was.
Since she personally made a move, how could she let Fei Lengyi succeed?
When the full moon hung high in the sky, the Heavenly Cauldron Pavilion's Blue Robed Emperor level auction started on time.
On the auction stage, the person in charge of the auction, who had been standing outside earlier, walked up and performed a cupped-fist salute. Then, after some pleasantries, he went straight to the point.
"This old man is Yang Yunfan. I will not make too many introductions. In the future, if anyone has any treasures to buy or auction, you can come and look for me at any time. Now, the auction will begin. The first treasure is a pair of peak-quality King Grade gloves called the Fleeting Shadow Gloves. "
Yang Yunfan spoke frankly with assurance, going straight to the point. He did not beat around the bush at all. Then, he continued, "Friends familiar with Emperor Grade Secret Treasures should know that even the most ordinary Emperor Grade Secret Treasure requires the cultivation of a Small Perfection Emperor Wu in order to bring out its full might.
"The Secret Treasure most suitable for the Blue Robed Emperor is still a peak King Grade Secret Treasure, which is also commonly known as peak-quality King Grade Secret Treasures.
"Aside from increasing one's attack speed, the Fleeting Shadow Gloves can also disperse a portion of the opponent's attack. The starting bid is one million Black Astral Coins. Each bid must be no less than one hundred thousand Black Astral Coins."
After Xiao Chen heard the introduction, his eyes lit up. This pair of gloves was simply tailor-made for him.
By increasing his attack speed, Xiao Chen could draw his saber even faster. The ability to disperse attacks could also improve the combat prowess of his Fist and Palm Techniques.
There was probably no one else in the auction house like Xiao Chen. Since Xiao Chen was a bladesman, his Fist and Palm Techniques could also surpass the others.
"One million five hundred thousand!"
"One hundred and sixty-five thousand!"
"One million seven hundred thousand!"
…
"Two million!"
There was no need to fear that no one would fight for a good item. The moment this pair of Fleeting Shadow Gloves was put up for auction, it immediately became a hot topic. The price soared to two million Black Astral Coins, nearly doubling in an instant.
This flabbergasted Xiao Chen. There were really many rich people. In an instant, the price doubled.
In reality, Xiao Chen did not know that it was rare for such an auction to happen. Many of the Blue Robed Emperors had already made preparations to save money before the auction started. Some even borrowed Black Astral Coins from their friends in advance.
The reason was none other than the fact that it became increasingly difficult to raise one's cultivation after reaching the Blue Robed Emperor realm. In a situation where everyone did not improve much, the effects of external items on combat prowess were magnified many times over.
If one managed to find a suitable treasure, one could immediately raise one's combat prowess by ten to twenty percent, equivalent to decades of bitter cultivation. With such a reason, it would be strange if the competition was not intense.
Xiao Chen did not rush to call out a bid. He had participated in many auctions of various sizes before and had already grasped some of the techniques.
When one saw something that caught one's eye, there was no need to rush to call out a bid. One had to observe carefully to see who was chasing after it and figure out the other party's psychological price.
Of course, this was under the condition that no one was messing around. If someone was purposely messing around, all techniques would be useless. In the end, one would still have to rely on wealth.
After observing for a long time, when the price of the Fleeting Shadow Gloves reached three million Black Astral Coins, Xiao Chen called out a bid of four million Black Astral Coins.
Raising the price by one million Black Astral Coins in one go immediately broke the psychological barrier of several people chasing after the Fleeting Shadow Gloves. This resulted in a temporary silence.
If Xiao Chen's observation was right, the people who were truly chasing after this Fleeting Shadow Gloves would not raise the price any further. He would successfully purchase this pair of gloves at the price of four million Black Astral Coins.
"Five million Black Astral Coins!"
Just as everyone was silent, a cold and sinister voice called out a bid. Xiao Chen felt a murderous intent. He looked over and saw Jiang Feng in the private room across from him.
"Who is so rich? This is not worth it. This pair of gloves is worth at most three million Black Astral Coins. It has already tripled. Four million Black Astral Coins is already a loss. Five million Black Astral Coins is really too much."
"It's Jiang Feng. He is competing with that White Robed Bladesman!"
"No wonder he lost face to the White Robed Bladesman outside and is trying to regain it here."
"This is not going to be easy. The White Robed Bladesman probably will not be able to buy anything good. The Black Sea Great Bandit Jiang Heng is very wealthy. As his grandson, Jiang Feng has at least twenty to thirty million Black Astral Coins. That is comparable to the Consummation Blue Robed Emperor."
Noisy discussions resounded. Many gazes looked at Xiao Chen with pity in their eyes.
"Dang!"
Jiang Feng placed the wine cup in his hand heavily on the table and wiped the wine off his lips with a handkerchief. Then, he looked provocatively at Xiao Chen and said coldly, "Let's see what you are going to use to compete with me!"
"Ten million Black Astral Coins."
Xiao Chen ignored Jiang Feng's gaze and slowly called out a price that no one dared to believe.
"Pu ci!"
Before Jiang Feng could swallow the wine in his mouth, he spat it out. His face was filled with shock and disbelief. The words "ten million Black Astral Coins" resounded in his ears.
"Damn! Is he crazy? My god! Ten million Black Astral Coins! What kind of concept is that? Even some ordinary Emperor Grade Secret Treasures are only worth ten million Black Astral Coins. However, the Blue Robed Emperor will not be able to bring out their full potential. "
"Speechless. You really cannot compare yourself with others."
"Does he have that much money?"
"He should. He should be very clear that he will not have a good ending if he dares to raise the price in the Heavenly Cauldron Auction."
"I think Jiang Feng is going to cry. Just now, he wanted to use money to slap Jiang Feng's face. Who knew, he got slapped so hard. This slap is really heavy."
"Haha! This is interesting. The young outstanding talent of the Black Sea is continuously getting slapped in the face in our Black Water Sea. He must be feeling very sullen."
"Bang!"
Jiang Feng slammed his palm heavily on the solid wood table, shattering it. He gritted his teeth in anger, wanting to call out a bid of twenty million Black Astral Coins on impulse.
However, he only had twenty million Black Astral Coins on him. Furthermore, he still needed to use it to purchase a treasure that he had been interested in for a long time. He did not dare to call out such a price.
"Ten million Black Astral Coins going once! Going twice! Going thrice! Good! No more bids! Sold!"
Yang Yunfan spoke in a rhythmic manner. Finally, he hammered down the hammer. The first auction was a success. The sky-high opening price was a good start.
The smiling Yang Yunfan thought to himself, I have to make friends with that white-clad youth after this is over. His background is definitely not simple.
Inside the booth, Xiao Chen slowly put down his wine cup. He continued to ignore Jiang Feng's murderous gaze, not bothering with him.
There was no need to say much to such a person. Xiao Chen wanted to talk about the rules with him, but he did not follow them. He insisted on using his influence to force people, telling them to scram before the testing stone stele.
Then, he was unreasonable during the auction, wanting to use his wealth to humiliate Xiao Chen.
In that case, there was no need for Xiao Chen to care about Ba Tu's face. If you want to fight, then fight. Let's see who will have the last laugh. Xiao Chen has more than a hundred million Black Astral Coins on him.
Aside from the Jadeite Mountain Manor's Manor Lord and a few other older-generation people, there were not many people in the entire auction hall that Xiao Chen feared in terms of wealth.
--- Up in the booth on the seventh floor, Fei Lengyi revealed some doubt on his arrogant face as he watched the commotion below. He waved his hand and instructed, "Investigate this person's background and see if he will be a threat to my auction of the Heptagold Origin."
After a pause, Fei Lengyi said, "Let him know in advance. Tell him to be sensible and not act rashly. This Heptagold Origin is very important. Nothing can go wrong. "
Two old men in the booth immediately left to carry out the order and disappeared.
