133: Chapter 133 The Threat of the Upper Gate

"One thousand five hundred pieces."

Qi Zhuo added four hundred pieces again.

At this point, no one else bid; this price was already too much of a premium, and it was no longer worth it to make a move.

Although they were unwilling, they had no choice but to give up.

And such an overbearing bid made some people guess the identity of Qi Zhuo and his group.

"These Alchemists are truly wealthy."

Qiu Zhe said coldly.

To be so rich and powerful, it was likely only these Alchemists.

This Purple Cloud Origin Dew Fruit was far from being worth this price.

"I hope they don't compete with us for that thing."

Zhao Yu said in a heavy voice.

The next auction item was the Profound Void Condensing Origin Pill. As a Medicinal Pill used for cultivation by Other Shore Realm practitioners, it was also bought by a Sect for the price of three thousand High Grade Origin Stones.

The Grade Seven High Grade Medicinal Pill, the Dark Void Soul-Sustaining Pill, and the Grade Seven High Grade Origin Weapon, the Void Piercing Spear, were both the work of Lin Ming. They also caused a scramble and were sold for several thousand High Grade Origin Stones each.

"The next auction item comes from the ancient Sect, the Wuji Pavilion."

A wooden tray was brought up, and on it was placed a slightly damaged Jade Slip.

"According to the appraisal of our Wanfu Chamber of Commerce, it contains the Formation of the Wuji Pavilion, the Four Symbols Yin-Yang Formation, though it is slightly incomplete."

Manager Huang Xing said.

"Since it's something from the Wuji Pavilion, the Shangji Sect definitely won't let it go."

"Nonsense, they claim to have inherited the Wuji Pavilion's Legacy, so they certainly won't let go of anything from the Wuji Pavilion."

The crowd discussed animatedly.

It was indeed as they said; as soon as this item appeared, it attracted the attention of both Qiu Zhe and Zhao Yu.

The Four Symbols Yin-Yang Formation was their main goal for this trip.

Although it was somewhat incomplete, they didn't care, as long as they could get their hands on it.

This was a high-level Formation, and a Formation from the Wuji Pavilion at that. It suited their Shangji Sect very well; not only could it be used to guard the Sect, but it could even allow them to comprehend the Dao of Yin and Yang and increase their cultivation.

The Sect had also given a strict order that it must be obtained.

They had also communicated with the Wanfu Auction beforehand, hoping to make a private bid to purchase it, and the price was not an issue.

But they were rejected by the Wanfu Chamber of Commerce on the grounds that the item was already on the auction list and had been publicly announced.

Therefore, they could only come to the auction to purchase it.

"Four Symbols Yin-Yang Formation, starting price, seven hundred High Grade Origin Stones."

Manager Huang Xing said.

"Two thousand High Grade Origin Stones. Everyone, please give my Shangji Sect some Face."

Qiu Zhe directly raised the price to two thousand High Grade Origin Stones, mentioning the Shangji Sect's identity to discourage other competitors.

"Fellow Daoist from the Shangji Sect, you've gone too far."

Manager Huang Xing's expression also turned cold.

This kind of blatant behavior of threatening others was strictly forbidden in their Wanfu Chamber of Commerce. If it weren't for the fact that the other party was from the Shangji Sect, they would have kicked them out directly.

"Two thousand one hundred High Grade Origin Stones. My Medicine Cauldron Sect is somewhat interested in the Dao of Yin and Yang."

Qi Zhuo's voice also rang out at this moment.

Upon hearing Qi Zhuo's voice, Qiu Zhe's Face suddenly darkened; the situation he least wanted to see had happened.

"Two thousand three hundred pieces."

Qiu Zhe bid.

Even so, he would not back down.

"Two thousand five hundred pieces."

Qi Zhuo also bid.

"Junior Martial Uncle, do we really want to bid for this incomplete Formation?"

Jiang Siyuan asked curiously.

This Formation shouldn't be within their plan, right?

"The Dao of Yin and Yang is indeed wonderful,"

Qi Zhuo first said.

"If we can't win the bid, consider it as a way to annoy them."

Regarding the Dao of Yin and Yang, there was indeed someone in their Medicine Cauldron Sect who walked that path, using it to refine certain special Medicinal Pills.

Of course, they didn't necessarily need this incomplete Four Symbols Yin-Yang Formation; even if they didn't get it, they could still annoy the Shangji Sect.

"The people of the Shangji Sect are too overbearing; it's about time someone annoyed them."

Liu Lingyun nodded.

He had no good feelings toward these people from the Shangji Sect.

"Two thousand eight hundred pieces."

"Three thousand pieces."

It was basically a contest between the Shangji Sect and the Medicine Cauldron Sect. Both sides kept bidding, and the price quickly broke through four thousand Origin Stones.

After reaching this price, the speed of the Medicine Cauldron Sect's bidding clearly slowed down.

This price made Qi Zhuo start to hesitate. After all, it was just an incomplete Formation with too many uncertainties; there was no need to pay too much for it.

If it were a complete Formation, he would definitely continue to compete.

Moreover, as thought before, they didn't necessarily have to obtain this incomplete Four Symbols Yin-Yang Formation.

"Four thousand three hundred High Grade Origin Stones, once."

Manager Huang Xing smiled.

"Four thousand five hundred High Grade Origin Stones."

At this time, from a seat on the first floor, a Black-Masked Man spoke.

As soon as he spoke, the smile that had originally risen on Qiu Zhe's Face instantly froze.

Where did this guy come from? It was hard enough to force the people from the Yaoding Pavilion away, and now another guy comes to bid. This person is intentionally trying to make things difficult for the Shangji Sect, right?

"I doubt this person has the financial strength."

Qiu Zhe directly raised his doubt.

Four thousand five hundred High Grade Origin Stones was not a small amount; he seriously suspected this person was here to cause trouble.

"This guest."

Manager Huang Xing's gaze also fell on the Black-Masked Man. Someone sitting on the first floor gave them some doubts as well.

After all, it wasn't as if troublemakers had never appeared before.

But once discovered, they would be blacklisted.

"You can check."

The Black-Masked Man said coldly.

Under the arrangement of the Wanfu Chamber of Commerce personnel, they conducted a verification of this person's assets.

"After our verification, this guest indeed has the financial strength. The auction continues."

After Manager Huang Xing obtained the result, he immediately announced it.

This made Qiu Zhe's expression darken once again. Where did this guy come from?

At the same time, others were also extremely curious about the identity of this Black-Masked Man.

To be able to produce so many High Grade Origin Stones, he was definitely no simple character.

"I am also very interested in this Dao of Yin and Yang."

The Black-Masked Man's slightly raspy voice sounded.

"Then Your Excellency is not going to give my Shangji Sect this Face."

Qiu Zhe threatened again.

"Fellow Daoist from the Shangji Sect, this is a second warning. If there is another time, you will lose your eligibility to bid."

Manager Huang Xing warned him again.

At the same time, the aura of an Other Shore Realm expert appeared in the private box where Qiu Zhe was, causing the expressions of the two to turn pale.

"Four thousand six hundred pieces."

The Black-Masked Man continued to bid.

He told Qiu Zhe and the other through his actions that he didn't care about the Shangji Sect's threat.
