90: Chapter 90: Yan Dongcheng is crippled

Next, the ninth auction item was brought onto the auction stage.

It was also a top-tier mortal weapon, but unfortunately, it was not a sword, but a saber.

Chen Hu instantly lost interest.

In the end, this top-tier mortal weapon was taken by someone for the price of 1,400 taels.

Then, the tenth auction item was brought onto the stage.

According to the auctioneer's introduction, this was an incomplete Earth-grade lower-tier Cultivation Technique.

It could only be used to Cultivate to the Late-stage Tendon Refining.

Even so, this Cultivation Technique possessed significant value.

After all, the tempering method of a Earth-grade Cultivation Technique could not be compared to those below the Earth-grade.

The starting bid for this Cultivation Technique was 30,000 taels, and each increment could not be less than 3,000 taels.

Chen Hu was also not interested in this.

He was currently practicing a Heaven Grade Cultivation Technique; a mere incomplete Earth-grade Cultivation Technique was not worth his attention.

Soon, the price of this incomplete Cultivation Technique soared to 54,000 taels.

Yet there were still seven or eight people bidding.

In the end, this Cultivation Technique was taken by a man in VIP Room No. 7 for the price of 188,000 taels.

At this moment. Inside another private box.

Young Master Yan Dongcheng was in a very bad mood, his Face so gloomy it was almost dripping water.

Because a moment ago, his cousin Nangong Hongyan did not give him, her cousin, any Face at all and had actually left directly.

"Knock, knock!" A knock on the door sounded.

"Come in!"

The middle-aged guard pushed the door open and entered, reporting cautiously: "Young Master, that person's identity has been investigated clearly; he is the deputy leader of the Fierce Tiger Gang, a third-rate Gang in the outer city!"

"What?"

Young Master Yan Dongcheng felt very surprised and sneered: "My cousin is truly debasing herself, running off to associate with a low-class Gang hoodlum. It is absolutely infuriating. You go and keep a close watch on that brat. Once he leaves the auction house, take him for this Young Master, then find a place to lock him up. This Young Master wants to vent his anger on him!"

Nangong Hongyan had left without giving him Face, and since he could not vent his anger on Nangong Hongyan, he could only take it out on this Gang member.

The auction was still continuing. Unknowingly, fifteen items had already been auctioned off.

Now, the auctioneer was introducing the sixteenth auction item.

This time, the auction item was a Xuan Grade lower-tier movement Martial Skill.

Chen Hu, who possessed a Xuan Grade high-tier movement Martial Skill, naturally would not be tempted.

In the end, this Martial Skill was sold for the price of 160,000 taels.

When the seventeenth auction item was brought up, Chen Hu perked up.

Because this auction item was a spiritual fruit.

According to the auctioneer's introduction, this spiritual fruit was called the Spirit Accumulation Fruit. After consuming it, one could enhance the power of the Divine Soul.

Upon seeing this Spirit Accumulation Fruit, Luo Ningshuang's eyes became burning with desire, but immediately dimmed again.

Because this Spirit Accumulation Fruit was simply too expensive; the starting bid was 100,000 taels.

As the Chief of the Zhenwu Division, she could come into contact with many secrets that ordinary Martial Artists could not touch.

One of these secrets was that the stronger a Martial Artist's Divine Soul was, the easier it was to achieve a Breakthrough.

"The starting bid for the Spirit Accumulation Fruit is 100,000 taels, and each increment must not be less than 10,000 taels!"

Chen Hu, who had originally been somewhat interested, immediately lost interest upon hearing this asking price.

If he were just an ordinary Martial Artist, he would have liked to compete for it.

But he already possessed methods to Cultivate the Divine Soul, so why waste a large sum of money to compete for a spiritual fruit that would not help him much?

Because he had probed it with his Spiritual Sense, the medicinal power contained within this Spirit Accumulation Fruit was limited. If his Divine Soul were at the first Realm, after consuming it, he should be able to break through one or two Realms.

But his Divine Soul had already reached the third Realm, the Condensation Realm; after consuming it, the effect achieved would be truly very limited.

It would only be slightly better than the effect of one soul nourishing pill.

Therefore, spending hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to buy it was absolutely not worth it.

Of course, Chen Hu did not think much of it. There were plenty of people who did.

Therefore, the price of the Spirit Accumulation Fruit soared all the way, quickly breaking through 200,000 taels.

Even after reaching 200,000 taels, there were still five people competing for the Spirit Accumulation Fruit.

One of them was that cousin of Nangong Hongyan.

Finally, when the price reached 300,000 taels, only two people were bidding.

One was Nangong Hongyan's cousin, and the other was also a VIP in a private box.

As for who it was exactly, Chen Hu did not know.

In the end, the price of the Spirit Accumulation Fruit was settled at 350,000 taels, and the one who took the Spirit Accumulation Fruit was none other than Nangong Hongyan's cousin.

After the auction of the Spirit Accumulation Fruit ended. This auction officially came to a close.

Chen Hu did not linger either. He left the auction house directly.

But just after walking a short distance. He discovered that someone was following him.

A sweep of his Spiritual Sense revealed it was those two Late-stage Tendon Refining guards of Nangong Hongyan's cousin.

Instantly, Chen Hu's eyes turned cold.

He had not sought out trouble with them, yet they dared to come looking for him on their own initiative. Since that was the case, he would not be polite.

He took out a loyalty card. He used it twice in succession.

He saw two rays of light, invisible to others, fall into the bodies of the two.

Then, the thoughts of the two were twisted.

Next, Chen Hu transmitted his voice to them: "Go, cripple your original master. After crippling him, run as far as you can!"

After receiving Chen Hu's order. The two turned around decisively and returned to the auction house.

Meanwhile, inside a room in the auction house. Young Master Yan Dongcheng was admiring the Spirit Accumulation Fruit inside the jade box.

He had two purposes for coming to Linjiang Prefecture this time: one was to discuss the marriage with his cousin Nangong Hongyan, and the second was to take this Spirit Accumulation Fruit.

His Family background was extraordinary. But unfortunately, his talent was a bit poor.

His original talent was barely ranked, only Yellow Grade lower-tier.

Later, in order to improve his talent, his mother had exhausted all means, and only then barely managed to raise his talent to Xuan Grade lower-tier.

Since his talent could not be improved further, his mother had to think of other methods.

Upon learning that the Nangong Family would be auctioning a Spirit Accumulation Fruit, she had him make the trip personally, so that while taking the Spirit Accumulation Fruit, he could also deepen his relationship with Nangong Hongyan.

Unfortunately, Nangong Hongyan was not interested in him.

Mainly because his reputation was too poor; it had spread all the way from Lingzhou City to Linjiang Prefecture.

The two middle-aged guards arrived at the room where Young Master Yan Dongcheng was without any obstruction.

"Back so soon? Is the matter done?" Young Master Yan Dongcheng asked.

"Young Master, this subordinate has an important matter to report!" One of the guards said, feigning mystery, and approached Young Master Yan Dongcheng.

Regarding this, Young Master Yan Dongcheng did not have any suspicion. After all, these two guards had been raised by the Family since childhood and were very loyal.

"Speak quickly, what is it!" Young Master Yan Dongcheng closed the box and asked with interest.

Just at this moment. The approaching guard suddenly attacked, punching Young Master Yan Dongcheng's Dantian. The other guard rushed over, following up with an attack, but it was a kick aimed at Young Master Yan Dongcheng's crotch.

"Pfft!" The first guard attacked with full force, directly smashing Young Master Yan Dongcheng's Dantian with one punch.

Following closely was another "pfft" sound, as the other guard had also succeeded.

Having suffered secondary damage, Young Master Yan Dongcheng immediately let out an extremely shrill scream.

"Go!" The two middle-aged guards exchanged a glance and decisively bolted out of the room.

Not long after they left. The Nangong Family guards burst into the room, and upon seeing Young Master Yan Dongcheng's miserable state, they all turned pale.

"Who did this?" After a while, the person in charge of the auction, Nangong Xing, arrived and asked in a cold tone.

He was also a direct descendant of the Nangong Family, so he knew Young Master Yan Dongcheng's identity.

Young Master Yan Dongcheng had been crippled on their Nangong Family's territory; if they did not give the Yan Family an explanation, the relationship between the two families would likely be unable to be maintained.
