As soon as Ren Ming took out his Level 3 Icy Talisman, Ren Hao stood up and took out his Level 3 Icy Talisman as well, intending to deal with Ren Ming.
Ren Ming couldn't help but look at him. "Ren Hao, are you really going to attack someone from your Ren Family?"
"Elder Ren Ming, I've already said that I've pledged my allegiance to them. How can I not attack you!" Ren Hao frowned.
After saying that, he activated the Icy Talisman in his hand. Seeing this, Ren Ming could only accept the fact.
Immediately, the Icy Qi released by the Icy Talisman enveloped each other.
Ren Ming was slightly stronger than Ren Hao, but the other person from the Ren Family was already defeated by Lan Yuze and had fallen to the ground.
Seeing this, Ren Ming's expression naturally became even more unsightly.
"Elder Ren Ming, stop fighting like a cornered beast!" Lu Yongfeng said.
"Haha!" Ren Ming sneered and still had no intention of withdrawing his Icy Qi.
"Ren Hao, please go over and help Ren Hao!" Guo Haiyun said.
Ren Lao didn't want to attack someone from the Ren Family, but he had no choice but to listen to Guo Haiyun and help Ren Hao.
Soon, he also activated the Icy Talisman in his hand, and the Icy Qi released by his Icy Talisman immediately enveloped Ren Ming.
Ren Ming was only slightly stronger than Ren Hao, so he was no match for the two of them. Soon, he was defeated and frozen to the ground by Ren Hao and Ren Lao's Icy Qi.
Then, Linlong directly asked someone to bring Ren Ming to a room inside.
"Who are you?" Ren Ming looked at Linlong in confusion.
"This is Young Master Lin, the leader of our clans!" Lu Jing said from the side.
"What? Isn't the leader of your families a family leader? "Ren Ming couldn't help but be surprised.
"That's right. As for why, you don't need to know. You just need to obediently listen to Young Master Lin's orders," Lu Jing said.
At this moment, Linlong took out a Destiny Pill and said, "This is the Destiny Pill …"
After hearing Lin Long's introduction of the Fate Listening Pill, the astonishment on Ren Ming's face deepened. He couldn't help asking, "Did they only submit to you because they took your Fate Listening Pill?"
In his opinion, it was very difficult for several families to submit to one person, but now that he heard such a pill, he naturally believed it.
"That's right." Linlong nodded.
"This Fate Listening Pill is so rebellious, how can I take it? Even if you beat me to death, I won't swallow it!" Ren Ming said coldly.
He didn't want to be a puppet.
"That's not up to you," Linlong said indifferently.
After saying that, he placed a seal on Ren Ming's body. Once the seal was activated, how could Ren Ming withstand it? He quickly begged for mercy.
Then, he obediently swallowed a Obedience Pill.
The reason why he was given the Life Listening Pill was naturally because his status was the highest among the Ren family members. After all, the Ten Days Heart Attack Pill could easily cause problems, unlike the Life Listening Pill, which made people feel at ease.
After swallowing the Life Listening Pill, Ren Ming obediently listened to Linlong's orders.
"Now, announce to the public that the people of your family in Ding Xi City have submitted to our families!" Linlong ordered.
Ren Ming naturally did as he was told.
Soon, the news that the Ren family's people in Ding Xi City had submitted to the other families spread throughout Ding Xi City, causing an uproar among the major forces in Ding Xi City.
Some of the forces who were originally tempted to cause trouble at the Spirit Calming Pill Store immediately gave up on that idea.
After all, even the powerful Ren family had fallen to such a state. What could they do?
The day passed quickly, and the next day was the day of the auction.
By the time night fell, the auction house was already packed. This time, there were more people leaving the auction house than ever before. Moreover, the status of the people who entered the auction was also incomparable to before. The reason for this was naturally because of the various major forces that had recently entered Ding Xi City.
Their original intention was to obtain the method to refine the Spirit Calming Pill, but since there was an auction, they would naturally participate.
Everyone who entered the auction wore a mask to conceal their identity.
Linlong naturally did not wear a mask. Instead, he still wore a large bamboo hat. This was naturally because the mask could not cover his ears, which were different from the people of this world.
Before the auction was about to begin, Linlong entered the auction house and went to the private room on the left side of the third floor.
Although there were many forces in the city, with his current strength, it was naturally not difficult for him to reserve such a private room.
Lu Jing and the others also entered with Linlong.
Not long after entering the private room, the auction began.
Linlong was not interested in the first few items, so he did not bid for any of them.
When it came to the fourth item, his interest was slightly piqued.
It was a tattered rune shirt. It was said that before it was damaged, it could withstand the attack of a level-four ice talisman. Now that it was too damaged, it could not even withstand a level-two ice talisman.
Although it was no longer of much use, the starting price of this rune shirt was still one million Deep Frost Coins.
"The starting price is one million Deep Frost Coins!"
As soon as the auctioneer on the stage finished speaking, the people in the auction house had already started bidding.
"I bid two million Deep Frost Coins!"
"I bid three million Deep Frost Coins!"
"What's three million? I bid five million Deep Frost Coins!"
…
In a short period of time, the price of this rune shirt had actually reached seven million.
When it reached seven million, the auction house was a little silent. Obviously, this price had exceeded the price in most people's minds.
'Looks like I have to make a move,' Linlong thought to himself.
A few million was nothing to him now. Even if he did not have elixirs like the Spirit Calming Pill, the family heads under his control could easily fork out this amount of money.
However, before Linlong made a bid, a voice already sounded from the private room next to him, "I bid eight million!"
"Eight million, the gentleman in room 303 on the third floor has already bid eight million. Is there any higher bid?" The auctioneer on the stage immediately said happily.
After a long while, there was still no one bidding. It was obvious that the entire auction house no longer wanted to bid for this rune shirt.
Of course, Linlong was an exception.
"Eight million going once …"
"Eight million going twice …"
At this moment, Linlong suddenly said, "I bid nine million!"
"Alright, the gentleman in room 302 on the third floor has bid nine million!" Seeing that the price had increased by another million, the auctioneer's smile on his face became even wider.
"Tsk tsk, someone actually wants to compete with me, Zhou Han!" At this moment, a voice came from the private room next to Linlong's.
"Zhou Han? Is that gentleman Zhou Han, the First Young Master of the Zhou Family in Yongjiang City? "
"Other than the First Young Master of the Zhou Family in Yongjiang City, which other Young Master named Zhou Han would have such boldness and wealth?"
"As expected, it's Zhou Han from the Zhou Family in Yongjiang City. I didn't expect someone from the Zhou Family to come to Dingxi City!"
"I wonder if the expert from the Zhou Family who can activate the Level Four Frost Talisman is here with Young Master Zhou Han?"
…
For a moment, there was a lot of discussion in the auction house.
At this moment, the faces of Lu Jing, Guo Ying, and the rest who were beside Linlong naturally turned ugly.
"Young Master, they are right. The Zhou Family does have an expert who can activate the Level Four Frost Talisman," Lu Jing quickly said to Linlong.
"Seems like there's still a fight." Linlong smiled faintly.
At this moment, the auctioneer's voice came from below, "Is that Young Master Zhou Han from the Zhou Family in Yongjiang City?"
"That's me!" A proud voice came from the box next to Linlong.
"Since Young Master Zhou Han is bidding, I'm sure that the rune garment will be won by Young Master Zhou Han …" At this point, the auctioneer changed the topic and said, "However, there are many forces participating in this auction. I don't think any of them will be able to compete with Young Master Zhou Han."
Of course, the auctioneer wanted someone to compete with Zhou Han because such a competition would definitely increase the price of the items in the auction.
"No matter who it is, as long as they come, I, Zhou Han, will accept their challenge!" Zhou Han said proudly.
After saying that, he shouted the price, "I, Zhou Han, bid eleven million!"
"As expected of the First Young Master of the Zhou Family. He raised the price by two million in one go!"
"He's really rich. I had to use 100 Deep Frost Coins carefully for half a month, but Young Master Zhou Han bid without blinking an eye!"
"It seems like no one can compete with Young Master Zhou Han!"
"Not necessarily. The person in the box next to Young Master Zhou Han doesn't look like a pushover either. No matter what, he has to fight for it!"
…
The people in the auction hall started discussing among themselves again.
"Twelve million!" While the crowd was discussing, Linlong raised the price by another million.
"Hehe …" Zhou Han sneered and said, "Fifteen million!"
Raising the price by two million in one go naturally caused many people to exclaim in surprise.
"Sixteen million!" Linlong continued to raise the price slowly.
Beside him, Zhou Han frowned and shouted again, "Eighteen million!"
Again, he raised the price by two million.
"Nineteen million!" Linlong shouted again.
"Who are you? How dare you compete with me!" At this time, Zhou Han sneered from the box next to him.
"Things have to be auctioned in the first place. If no one fights for it, what kind of auction is this?" Linlong smiled calmly.
"Very well, then I'll let you know how powerful I am!" Zhou Han sneered.
After saying that, he continued to raise the price. "Twenty million!"
This time, he didn't raise the price by two million. No one knew if he wanted to round it up or if he didn't have enough money. After all, no matter how powerful a family was, tens of millions of Deep Frost Dollars were not something that could be easily thrown away.
"Twenty-one million!" Linlong still said.
In the box next to him, Zhou Han, who was extremely displeased, was about to raise the price again when an elder beside him hurriedly said, "Eldest Young Master, you can't raise the price anymore. The price of this runic garment has completely exceeded its value. If the other party doesn't raise the price later, we'll definitely suffer a huge loss!"
Hearing the elder's words, Zhou Han didn't immediately raise the price.
"Am I supposed to suffer a loss just like that?" Zhou Han frowned.
He had already announced his identity in front of everyone. Under such circumstances, the other party still raised the price higher than him. It was clearly a slap to his face.
"Eldest Young Master, sometimes, suffering a loss is a blessing … Also, we still have to bid for the Azure Mark later. If we spend too much on this runic garment, we'll probably suffer a loss later," the elder said.
"Consider this brat lucky!" Zhou Han said coldly.
"Young Master Zhou Han, are you not going to raise the price?" The auctioneer below the stage couldn't help but ask when he saw that the other side was silent.
Raise your ass! Seeing that the auctioneer had touched a sore spot, Zhou Han couldn't help but curse in his heart.
Seeing that Zhou Han had fallen silent, the auctioneer said, "If no one else raises the price, this runic garment will belong to this young master … Twenty-one million going once, twenty-one million going twice …"
When he called for the third time, there was still no one raising the price. Just like that, the runic garment was directly won by Linlong.
Soon, the auctioneer had someone deliver it to Linlong's box.
"Young Master, is this runic garment worth such a high price?" Guo Ying couldn't help but ask when she saw the runic garment in Linlong's hand.
The others also had a puzzled look on their faces.
In their opinion, Linlong was simply making a loss.
"There's no harm in being prepared." Linlong calmly smiled.
He also knew that he had likely suffered a huge loss, but who asked him to be rich? If he didn't buy it and kept it, where would he find it in the future?
One had to know that this was a runic garment that could withstand the attack of a fourth-grade Ice Talisman. If it could be restored, wouldn't it be a huge profit?
Following that, the auction continued. None of the items offered by the other bidders piqued Linlong's interest, so he didn't participate in the bidding.
Zhou Han, who was beside him, was naturally holding back his energy. He was waiting for Linlong to make a bid somewhere before interfering. Who would have thought that Linlong wouldn't make a bid?
After a while, it was finally Azure Mark's turn.
When the auctioneer announced that the item was Azure Mark's, there was even a brief moment of silence. Everyone's gaze was focused on Azure Mark.
"Everyone here knows about Azure Mark, so I won't introduce it too much. This time, the starting price of this Azure Mark is ten million Deep Frost Coins!" The auctioneer then said.
"Ten million, isn't that too expensive!"
With such a price, many people were discouraged.
"Eleven million!" Some people directly started bidding.
"Twelve million!"
"Thirteen million!"
"Twenty million!"
…
In a short period of time, the price had directly reached twenty-five million.
When the price reached thirty million, the voices in the auction decreased. However, there were still people continuously increasing the price.
When the price reached forty million, the increase in price slowed down.
"Damn it, these people are too crazy!" Lu Jing couldn't help but say.
"It's not strange. After all, many major factions have come to Ding Xi City. It's not like before, where there were only a few major factions. Moreover, they are all rich people." Guo Ying seemed very indifferent.
Although the increase in price was slow, it was still increasing. When the price reached forty-five million, there was only a moment of silence.
"Is there no one else? The Azure Mark belongs to the young master in room 205," the auctioneer said.
At this moment, Zhou Han, who was in the room beside Linlong, suddenly said, "Forty-six million!"
