Tianzi Box

This day, Zhong Qing arrived at the auction house early!

When Zhong Qing took out the VIP card Du Yanling had given him, the auction house deacon was truly startled.

Although Du Yanling was only in charge of their lower-level venue, she could only give out one such exclusive VIP card in her lifetime.

If it wasn't for someone extraordinary, why would Du Yanling give it away?

Furthermore, they had heard rumors that someone in Du Yanling's venue had recently exchanged what was suspected to be a King-Grade treasure for other items. It was likely this person in front of them, almost certainly.

Instantly, the eyes of the tall serving maids responsible for reception changed as they looked at Zhong Qing.

The deacon quickly reported Zhong Qing's arrival to the higher-ups.

A moment later, a message came back from the higher-ups.

“Take him to Sky-Grade Private Room One!”

“Sky-Grade Private Room One?”

The deacon was surprised but dared not question it. He quickly led Zhong Qing upstairs and then into the Sky-Grade Private Room.

The entire auction house had four major private rooms.

They were named Sky, Earth, Profound, and Yellow.

Sky-Grade was the most honored, and Earth-Grade was second!

Only extremely important guests were allowed in.

Looking at the entire Peng City, those qualified to enter the four major private rooms were few and far between.

Entering it allowed one to overlook the entire auction hall.

Zhong Qing was quite satisfied with the auction house's arrangements.

He sat in the private room, sipping tea and narrowing his eyes, quietly waiting for the auction to officially begin.

As time passed, more and more people poured in.

The appearance of a young man in brocade robes attracted much attention.

He had a slender build and was dressed in luxurious attire!

His face was slightly gloomy and melancholic.

“Young Lord Sun, you've arrived!”

“Your seat has been prepared, please come in quickly!”

A deacon beside him said fawningly.

This scene surprised many.

“Who is this? To make the auction house deacon fawn over him and accompany him?”

“You don't even know him? You must be from out of town!”

“This person is Sun Yu, the only son of the Hao Han Sect Master.”

“You know about the Hao Han Sect, right? That's a first-rate Sect, and the entire Peng City is under their jurisdiction.”

“Hiss, this background is truly Heaven-Defying!”

Some people were dumbfounded.

A first-rate Sect might not seem like much in front of Zhong Qing.

Even a Holy Land was just ordinary to him.

But looking at the entire Eastern Domain, the Five Great Holy Lands were transcendent.

The remaining major first-rate Sects were already behemoths dominating their own regions and reigning supreme.

While everyone was discussing, Sun Yu had already been led by the deacon to Earth-Grade Private Room Two!

This made him frown deeply.

In the past, every time he came to the auction house, Sky-Grade Private Room One was his exclusive seat.

What did it mean to bring him to Private Room Two this time?

However, he quickly reconsidered.

In the past, besides him, the four major private rooms were usually empty.

Occasionally sitting in another private room wouldn't hurt.

He wouldn't quibble over such a small matter!

Not long after Sun Yu sat down,

After an impassioned opening speech by the auctioneer, the auction officially began.

The first item to appear was a Fifth-Grade Medicinal Pill!

The auction house, backed by the strongest Alchemist in the Eastern Domain,

Medicinal Pills were practically a specialty of the auction house.

A Fifth-Grade Medicinal Pill, in the eyes of many low-level Cultivators, was already a rare and precious treasure, hard to come by.

Instantly, many people began bidding on it.

After some competition, the Medicinal Pill was finally acquired by a Loose Cultivator who put up his entire fortune!

Following the successful auction of the first item,

Various rare and exotic treasures were then smoothly brought to the auction table.

Under the auctioneer's introduction and promotion, the crowd below began to shout and raise their bids.

The atmosphere was quite lively.

The Transaction price was gradually rising.

“The next item to be auctioned is a top-tier spiritual item, the lei ling fruit!”

“The lei ling fruit grows in the Thunder Mountain Range!”

“It contains the power of thunder. If consumed directly, it can enhance one's Physique, improve one's bone structure, and even has a certain chance to improve one's Aptitude.”

“Not only that, but it can also be used to refine Medicinal Pills, serving as a main ingredient for many Advanced Medicinal Pills.”

“The starting price is one hundred thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, with each bid not less than ten thousand!”

As the auctioneer's voice fell,

A wave of uproar and exclamations immediately rose from below.

Not only because of its Heaven-Defying functions but also because of its exorbitant price.

One must know that cultivation Aptitude is naturally determined.

To improve it by even a tiny bit is an extremely difficult task.

Just the fact that the lei ling fruit has a chance to improve Aptitude is enough to make countless people envious.

However, its high value deterred many.

What was the concept of one hundred thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones?

In this world, Spirit Stones are the common currency for transactions among Cultivators.

One High-Grade Spirit Stone can be exchanged for one hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, and one Mid-Grade Spirit Stone can be exchanged for one hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

One hundred thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones; many third-rate cultivation Sects would go bankrupt and still not be able to produce such a huge sum.

Only second-rate Sects, with the combined strength of their entire Sect, might be able to produce so many Spirit Stones.

The treasure was good!

But ninety-nine percent of the people could only watch and sigh.

Besides envy, jealousy, and red eyes, there was nothing they could do.

In Earth-Grade Private Room Two.

Sun Yu's face was excited.

“After waiting so long, I finally found a treasure that catches my eye.”

His cultivation had recently reached a Bottleneck.

If he could improve his Aptitude, a cultivation Breakthrough would naturally follow.

He was determined to get the lei ling fruit.

“This Young Lord fancies the lei ling fruit. Two hundred thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.”

As this price was announced,

The scene instantly vibrated.

“Who is this?”

“He directly doubled the price with his bid, so overbearing?”

“Listening to the voice, it seems to be coming from Earth-Grade Private Room Two.”

The bid of two hundred thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones caused an uproar among the crowd, who all speculated about the identity of the voice's owner.

“Hmph.”

“You clearly don't frequent the Peng City auction house.”

At this moment, someone couldn't help but say, “In this Peng City, when the Hao Han Sect speaks, no one dares to speak second. There isn't even anyone on par with the Hao Han Sect. Although there are four major private rooms on the top floor, only people from the Hao Han Sect have ever been there.”

“So, who else could that voice be but the Young Lord of the Hao Han Sect?”

However, as that person spoke,

He also mumbled to himself.

Usually, Sun Yu was in Sky-Grade Private Room One, so why was he suddenly in an Earth-Grade Private Room today?

Of course, his explanation brought a few more moments of clarity and understanding to the astonished eyes.

A first-rate Sect, truly a first-rate Sect!

Just as Sun Yu thought the lei ling fruit was already his,

“Two hundred fifty thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones!”

One sentence instantly drew the attention of the entire venue!

“Who?”

“It sounds like the voice came from Sky-Grade Private Room One?”

Someone said uncertainly.
