"Now for the next item," Qing Qing said while picking up a bottle of medicine from the cart and showing it to everyone. "This item is a Level 3 Spirit Strengthening Pill, made by famous alchemist Bai Ming."

"Soul Tranquilizing Pill!!, It has a calming effect which increases cultivation speed… I want it!" Xuan Wu Han exclaimed as she clenched her hand tightly.

"Elder Bai personally made 15 Spiritual Strengthening Pills in today's auction with 80% purity, which is enough to fill 3 bottles. We will sell them separately. For the first bottle, it contains 5 Spiritual Strengthening Pills. The starting price will be 5,000 gold." She spoke. Qing Qing while showing 3 pill bottles.

"6,000 gold coins." Xuan Wu Han was the first to offer.

"6,100 gold coins."

"6,200 gold coins."

A few minutes later, Xuan Wu Huan won the pill bottle at the price of 7,200 gold coins.

"Yeah!!… Now I will be able to break through to the third level of a Soul Warrior," Xuan Wu Han excitedly exclaimed.

But this bottle didn't satisfy Xuan Wu Han, and she continued until she was able to buy all the bottles, which cost her 25,000 gold coins.

"Hello, Yu… Xiao Yang," Xuan Wu Han suddenly called out.

"What is it?" Yuan turned to her.

Xuan Wu Han smiled because looking at Yuan Yuan's handsome face cheered her up.

"Here, although it's not much, I do hope that you will accept it, and we will remain friends for many years." Xuan Wu Han said as he took out a Spirit Strengthening Pill and handed it to Yuan Yuan.

"Thank you." Yuan nodded and calmly took out the Spirit Tempering Pill without a noticeable reaction.

"..." After taking the pill, Yuan was quietly playing with it while looking at the system notice.

[Soul Strengthening Pill] [Grade: 3] [Purity: 82%]

[Effect: Increases soul strength by +1,000]

[Description: Bai Ming's Spiritual Pill]

[Limit: 3]

Yuan lost interest upon seeing the effect and threw it into the storage ring.

Yuan Yuan could easily obtain +1,000 soul strength by killing someone with a peak soul cultivator.

"Hey, why don't you give us one too, Lady Xuan, aren't we friends too?" Du Hai spoke as he looked at the spirit pill greedily.

"If you want some, why didn't you bid on it?" Xuan Wu Han asked with a raised eyebrow.

"It's because you were so eager to have them, that's why we didn't fight with you for them," Du Hai said with a timid smile.

"Are you saying that it was you who let me win?" Xuan Wu Hai asked in a cold tone as she looked at the Du brothers sharply.

"Lady Xuan misunderstood…" Du Bai wanted to clarify but was interrupted by Xuan Wu Han.

"Then don't think about it." Xuan Wu Han said coldly, returning her attention to the auction.

'Damn that bastard.' - Du Hai thought as he looked at Yuan with killing intent - 'Nothing has gone as I wish since he appeared.'

"…" Yuan smiled coldly upon sensing a killing intent, but his normally cold smile soon disappeared.

"As for the next item, it's a crystal of unknown origin, but it has a qi comparable to a Great Spirit Master level beast core," Qing Qing said while displaying a purple crystal the size of a plait.

{Brother Yuan, this is a spirit crystal} Xiao Hua's voice sounded in Yuan's head.

{Soul crystal? , What is this?" Yuan asked after just a moment of searching for this name in his memory, but he couldn't find anything.

{It is a coin used in the High Heavens} - replied Xiao Hua.

{Do you want it? } - Yuan asked because desire was evident in Xiao Hua's tone.

{Yes, there are many benefits of having a soul crystal} - Xiao Hua replied, not hiding anything.

{Okay, I'll get it} Yuan said, turning his attention back to the auction.

"Since we don't know its real value, we will let the experts estimate its value," Qing Qing said as she put the crystal back on the stage.

"Anything that contains a large amount of Qi is a treasure." A man exclaimed with obvious excitement. "10,000 gold coins."

"20,000 gold coins."

"100,000 gold coins."

"200,000 gold coins." Yuan's youthful and calm voice suddenly sounded from among the crowd.

"500,000 gold coins." Du Hai exclaimed loudly.

"..." - Everyone fell silent upon hearing Du Hai's bidding, because in their view, half a million gold coins was more than the crystal was worth.

"1,000,000 gold coins," Yuan said without changing his expression.

"1,500,000 gold coins." Du Hai exclaimed again, which surprised Du Bei.

"…" Yuan smiled cheerfully upon seeing Du Bai's reaction upon hearing Du Hai's bidding.

"Is there another bidder… once… twice… three…" - Qing Qing wanted to end the bidding, but was stopped by Yuan's voice.

"Wait." Everyone heard Yuan's quiet voice resounding in the hall.

"I wonder what you want, Young Master." Qing Qing asked politely because she had received a voice transmission from the Auction House's owner the moment Yuan spoke to her.

"I suspect he has a million and a half gold coins, so I ask you to confirm his credibility." Yuan said as he looked at the Du brothers, who were sweating profusely with joy.

"Is what the young master says true, young gentlemen of the Du family?" Qing Qing asked while looking at the Du brothers sharply.

"H-this… this…" - Du Hai said incoherently as he tried to think of something to get out of this situation.

"Why don't you answer my question, Young Master Du Hai?" Qing Qing asked coldly upon seeing Du Hai's reaction.

"We're sorry, Miss Qingqing, but we don't have that much money," Du Bai said, bowing and trying to get his brother out of this situation because they couldn't insult the auction house.

"In this case, please exit the auction house and inform your father that we will not receive anyone from the Du family into our auction house." Qing Qing said coldly as he ordered the guards to take them out.

The Du brothers were taken out by the guards with darkened faces, but they looked at Yuan with hatred and killing intent before they walked out.

After the Du brothers were taken out of the room, they were led by the guards to pay for the armor, and then they were thrown like dogs out of the auction house.

"Then he will now return to my previous offer of 200,000 gold coins." Yuan said with a smile, ignoring that he raised the price to 1 million earlier.

'Shameless' Everyone thought upon hearing Yuan and waited to see another play, but unfortunately Qingqing's answer surprised them.

"There is no need for this, Young Master, because this crystal will be presented to Young Master to thank him for helping our Auction House." - Qing Qing said with a smile as she placed the crystal with Yuan's gold leaf.

After the blouse, a few more items were sold, but Yuan didn't care about them because they didn't attract his attention.

"Now, before offering the last item, let me introduce you to the owner of the auction house Elder Zhang," Qing Qing said as she stepped down from the stage to let Elder Zhang take over.

"Thank you everyone for coming to my auction house, since the last item is special, I'll offer it myself," - Lady Zhang said as she took out the Bloodstain Sword.

"Special item? Isn't it just a middle-earth grade weapon" - someone in the audience muttered puzzled upon feeling the weapon's aura.

"This weapon is made of rare metals with the fusion of a Vampire Bat Beast Core, allowing it to evolve by sucking the blood of whoever it kills," Elder Zhang said upon seeing the bewilderment of the audience. "And it has been verified that its maximum evolution is a lower level divine weapon .

"A divine-grade weapon!!!" - Someone in the audience exclaimed in excitement upon hearing Elder Zhang's words.

"My auction house guarantees this." Elder Zhang said as the sword was examined by the experts of the auction house. "The starting price will be 20,000,000 gold coins, and you can also display the treasures."

"I don't want treasures anymore, just money is enough." Yuan's voice rang across the entire hall, causing everyone to stare at him with wide eyes.

"Looks like he's the owner of this weapon!!" - a man muttered as he looked at Yuan in astonishment.

"As expected of someone from the Ten Thousand Stars Clan," another man muttered.

"Cough! As you heard the landlord, let the auction begin," Elder Zhang said after a fake cough.

"25,000,000 gold coins," a man exclaimed upon hearing the auction start.

"26,000,000 gold coins."

"30,000,000 gold coins."

The price quickly skyrocketed and it looks like it won't stop anytime soon.

In the end, he was won by an elder from the Heaven and Earth Palace at the price of 120,000,000 gold coins.

Contrary to the original story, the price of the weapon was many times higher because Xiao Hua had originally offered a high-quality Heaven-grade weapon, and this was a lower-quality divine weapon, which made it more expensive.

What raised its price even more was that it was impossible for anyone to sell a God-grade weapon again.
