161: Chapter 161 Good Brother

Sky Box Two suddenly exploded with a high bid of five million.

The entire auction house was thrown into a complete frenzy.

"Good heavens!"

"Finally, someone dares to challenge that wealthy ancestor in Sky Box One!"

"What do you know? Do you know who's sitting in Sky Box Two?"

"That's someone from a top-tier giant of the Central Continent, the Taichu Holy Land!"

"Hiss—Taichu Holy Land? No wonder they're so bold."

The people in the general seating area looked excited.

One by one, they craned their necks, anticipating this clash between top-tier powers.

At this moment.

Inside Sky Box Two.

A young man wearing a white robe with gold thread was reclining on a soft couch.

Two scantily clad maidens were kneeling on the floor, massaging his legs from both sides.

His Face was cold and sullen, his brow revealing the arrogance and insolence of one who had long held a high position.

This person was the Saint of the Taichu Holy Land, Xiao Zhe.

Under five hundred years old, his cultivation had already reached the Early Void Refinement Stage.

He was a bona fide top Prodigy of the Central Continent.

Beside him was an old man, Zhao Wuji, an inner sect Elder of the Taichu Holy Land.

His Half-step Body Integration Stage cultivation was unfathomable.

"This ten-thousand-year soul nourishing wood, this Saint will have it."

Xiao Zhe crossed his legs, his tone full of disdain.

He had recently obtained a Top-Grade Void Refinement Magical Artifact.

He was worried that the artifact spirit inside was too weak to unleash its full power.

The ten-thousand-year soul nourishing wood was perfect for nourishing an artifact spirit.

As for who was in the neighboring Sky Box One, he didn't care at all.

In this Central Continent, aside from those few Immortal Families and Dynasty imperial families, no one dared to deny the Taichu Holy Land Face.

...

Inside Sky Box One.

"Pah."

Hearing someone next door daring to snatch his item,

Cao Kun spat a grape seed into the jade plate beside him.

"Where did this stray dog come from? Quite a loud voice! What if he scares my Linglong?"

Yu Linglong cooperatively shrank into his embrace, coquettishly fanning the flames:

"Exactly, Master, that voice is so noisy, it's making me upset~"

Cao Kun sneered and spoke directly into the amplification formation,

"Ten million High-Grade Spirit Stones!"

Inside Sky Box Two, Xiao Zhe's Face darkened.

"A thing that doesn't know when it's being given Face."

Xiao Zhe pushed away the maidens massaging his legs, walked to the crystal wall, and shouted coldly into the Formation:

"Fifteen million!"

"Twenty million," Cao Kun's voice followed immediately, without the slightest pause.

"Thirty million!"

When Xiao Zhe shouted out the sky-high price of thirty million in a somewhat uncontrolled manner,

the entire auction house fell silent.

Everyone was stunned by this terrifying increment, their scalps tingling.

This is freaking throwing Spirit Stones like they're just rocks!

Inside Cao Kun's Dantian Purple Mansion.

Listening to the price outside soaring higher and higher,

Feng Jiuyou, who had been acting coy, became completely anxious.

It was already thirty million High-Grade Spirit Stones!

What if Cao Kun thought it was too expensive and suddenly stopped buying?

"Cao Kun!"

Feng Jiuyou's beautiful soul body floated back and forth anxiously above the Chaos Qi.

"Don't worry about how much he bids! Buy it!"

"Good brother~"

She once again used a high-pitched, feminine voice for the transmission, her tone urgent.

"Good brother~ Hurry and raise the bid~"

"Use Spirit Stones to crush that blind dog on the other side!"

Cao Kun responded unhurriedly in his mind:

"What's the rush?"

"Didn't you hear how arrogant that kid next door is?"

"What if I raise the bid and he gets angry? I'm most afraid of causing trouble."

Feng Jiuyou was so angry she almost dissipated on the spot.

You're afraid of causing trouble?

Why weren't you afraid when you trapped and killed tens of thousands from the Righteous Path alliance in Hehuan Province?

Why weren't you afraid when you kicked the Xuantian Sect Young Lord to death?

Now you're playing the coward with me?!

"Cao Kun! You bastard!"

Feng Jiuyou cursed loudly in the Purple Mansion, but immediately realized she was asking for a favor and had to have a proper attitude.

"Good brother, I beg you..."

"As long as you help me buy it, in the future... whatever you want, Jiuyou will comply~"

Hearing her call him 'good brother' over and over made Cao Kun feel refreshed.

Even his pores seemed to open up.

"Fine, since my good sister is being so well-behaved."

"Then today I'll show you what it means to be filthy rich."

It just so happened that Cao Kun didn't want to waste time with the pauper next door anymore.

He cleared his throat, pressed the jade of the amplification formation, and lightly spat out a number.

"Five hundred thousand..."

Huh?

The Cultivators in the entire hall were stunned.

Five hundred thousand? Why was the bid getting lower?

Before anyone could react, Cao Kun nonchalantly added the second half of the sentence.

"Top-Grade Spirit Stones!"

"I'll take this wood."

Boom!

The entire auction house completely exploded.

Five hundred thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones!

According to the exchange rate in the cultivation world, one Top-Grade Spirit Stone was equal to one hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones.

Five hundred thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones, that was a full fifty million High-Grade Spirit Stones!

Moreover, the Spiritual Qi contained in Top-Grade Spirit Stones was extremely pure.

No one would ever actually exchange them for High-Grade Spirit Stones; their practical value was even higher!

The Cultivators below clicked their tongues in secret.

"Crazy! Absolutely crazy!"

"Using five hundred thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones to buy a piece of soul-nourishing wood?"

"Which Immortal Family did this spendthrift escape from!"

“Just how rich is the person in Sky Box One...”

"It's simply inhumane wealth!"

Sky Box Two.

"This is too much!"

Xiao Zhe's spiritual power surged wildly around him, a murderous intent appearing in his eyes.

Fifty million High-Grade Spirit Stones for a broken piece of wood?

This was no longer an auction; this was slapping his Face in public!

This person was intentionally making things difficult for him!

"I bid..."

Xiao Zhe had lost his reason and was about to shout another bid to fight Cao Kun to the end.

"Enough, Zhe'er."

A withered palm pressed down on Xiao Zhe's shoulder.

Xiao Zhe turned his head, his Face full of resentment:

"Are we just going to let him shit on our heads like this?"

Zhao Wuji sneered and withdrew his hand.

"The Spirit Stones we brought this time are for competing for that final grand finale divine item. We absolutely cannot waste money on this wood."

"Since this kid is a fool with too much money, let him buy it for us first."

He lowered his voice, his tone chillingly cold.

"When the auction ends and we're out of the Treasure Pavilion's sphere of influence, I will personally kill him."

"At that time, that soul-nourishing wood, along with the massive amount of Spirit Stones on him, won't they all be ours?"

This was how the Taichu Holy Land always acted.

If they couldn't buy it, they snatched it.

If they couldn't snatch it, they killed for it.

A strong fist was the ultimate rule!

Hearing this, the anger on Xiao Zhe's Face gradually faded.

He decisively gave up the bidding.

"Elder Zhao is right! Let him keep it for this Saint for a while."

On the display stage.

Pei Qinglan waited for ten breaths, and seeing no movement from Box Two, she immediately struck the gavel.

"Five hundred thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones, sold! Congratulations to the esteemed guest in Sky Box One!"

Inside the Purple Mansion,

Feng Jiuyou breathed a long sigh of relief.

Although the process was extremely humiliating, the goal was finally achieved.

"Next up is the highlight of tonight."

As soon as Pei Qinglan finished speaking,

the lights in the venue suddenly dimmed.

Only a single spotlight remained, shining on the very center of the auction stage.

Everyone instinctively held their breath.

A murderous, ancient, and vast aura slowly spread from the center of the venue.

Cao Kun could feel it deep within his Purple Mansion.

The chaos remnant sword, which had been floating above the chaos ocean and quietly breathing in Chaos Qi,

seemed to be subjected to some fatal attraction, letting out a clear sword chime!

Black Sword Qi surged within the Purple Mansion.

If Cao Kun hadn't forcibly suppressed it, this sword would have likely burst out of his body and flown toward the stage!

"chaos fragment!"

Cao Kun's eyes lit up startlingly.

Searching far and wide only to find it effortlessly!

He had actually encountered the third fragment of the chaos divine sword here!

On the stage.

Pei Qinglan flipped her wrist.

A palm-sized, pitch-black, and extremely irregular fragment floated above her palm.

The surface of the fragment had no luster whatsoever.

There wasn't even any Spiritual Qi fluctuation.

It looked just like a piece of scrap iron knocked off some rusty iron pot.
