42: Say one more word and I'll break your legs!

The auction officially began.

A woman with a slender figure and an exceptional temperament slowly walked to the center of the auction stage!

The crowd below immediately became noisy. It seemed this auction was truly extraordinary, as Jin Ya'er was personally hosting it!

Jin Ya'er was the most famous auctioneer at the Xuan Tian Auction, and items auctioned by her often sold for a little bit more than those auctioned by others.

Perhaps this was the charm of a beautiful woman.

"Welcome everyone to the Xuan Tian Auction. I am Jin Ya'er, and I will be personally hosting today's auction."

As soon as Jin Ya'er spoke, Lu Hao felt a sense of pleasure. Her voice was as moving as heavenly music; it was no wonder she could be a gold-medal auctioneer.

"There are 153 lots in this auction. Without further ado, I present the first item: a ten-thousand-year Dragon Snake Grass! The starting bid is 100,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones, and each increment must be no less than 5,000."

"What? The first item is actually a ten-thousand-year Dragon Snake Grass!"

"This Dragon Snake Grass is one of the essential medicinal ingredients for refining Golden Light Pills. Even thousand-year ones are rare, let alone a ten-thousand-year one."

"110,000!"

"120,000!"

Everyone began to bid one after another.

"150,000!" A voice came from above—it was the person inside the white Spirit Stone box!

"155,000!"

"160,000," that same voice chimed in again.

The bidders below began to hesitate; clearly, the real value of this herb was around this much.

The bidding speed slowed down and finally settled at 170,000.

The first item being of such high quality made the atmosphere of the entire auction even more enthusiastic!

"Next is the second lot, a Profound Rank Advanced Magic Treasure, the Myriad Dharma Wheel. This treasure has the effect of trapping enemies. Anyone below the Nascent Soul Stage, once trapped by it, will not be able to break free for a while. The starting bid is 250,000 Spirit Stones, and each increment cannot be less than 10,000!"

"A Profound Rank Advanced Magic Treasure! I happen to be lacking an enemy-trapping Magic Treasure. I want this treasure; I bid 300,000!"

"Tsk, you want to buy a Profound Rank Advanced Magic Treasure for a mere 300,000? What are you thinking? I bid 350,000!"

"I bid 400,000!"

"420,000!"

At this moment, another airy voice came from above:

"I bid 500,000. I quite like this Magic Treasure; I hope everyone will give me some Face."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue fell silent for a moment. People revealed indignant expressions, and even the people from the auction house looked very unpleasant!

Because he relied on his father's cultivation and status, every auction he would come and bid on some not-so-valuable items, but the key was that he wouldn't pay—he just took them for free!

Every time, the Xuan Tian Auction didn't fuss about this matter.

There was no other way; who told his father to be a Soul Transformation Cultivator...

The president of this Xuan Tian Auction couldn't defeat his father, so he could only make slight concessions.

Lu Hao immediately recognized that this was the person he had met at the entrance earlier who had mocked him.

He was currently worrying about having nowhere to spend his Spirit Stones!

"600,000."

Lu Hao said indifferently.

"Hmm?"

The person above was clearly stunned for a moment. Apparently, he hadn't expected someone to refuse to give him Face, and immediately, a nameless fire surged into his heart!

He opened the door of the box and looked down.

"I wonder which Fellow Daoist made that bid? Did you not hear what I just said?"

Lu Hao also looked up, activating his Heavenly Eye of Unveiling!

【Guang Xiangming, son of the Grand Elder of the Tianhao Sect, Foundation Establishment Perfection, currently in a Bottleneck period.】

Someone at the Foundation Establishment Stage was actually so arrogant; Lu Hao was speechless. He was afraid that in the future, he wouldn't even know how he died.

"710,000!"

Guang Xiangming said, suppressing his anger. To him, Face was more important than anything. Since he had said he liked it, he had to buy it!

"1,000,000."

Lu Hao said again.

The whole venue was shocked. Which big shot was this? To lavishly throw away 1,000,000 for a Profound Rank Advanced Magic Treasure! This was close to the price of two such treasures!

"So it was you!"

As soon as Lu Hao spoke, the person above locked his gaze on him. His eyes were filled with coldness.

"At that time, you couldn't even pay the entrance fee, yet you have 1,000,000 Spirit Stones? How absurd! Staff, why don't you hurry up and kick him out!"

"Whether I have Spirit Stones or not is not up to you to dictate. Say one more word, and I will break your legs!"

Lu Hao also said coldly.

Seeing this, Mu Xunyun, who was beside Lu Hao, kept pulling on Lu Hao's sleeve and whispered:

"Brother Lu, do not get angry with him. This person is used to being overbearing. If you provoke him like this, he will take revenge on you in the future!"

"Thank you for the concern, Mu Xunyun. Rest assured."

"1,100,000!"

"2,000,000!"

As soon as Lu Hao said this, the entire three-level venue was in an uproar. Everyone was guessing Lu Hao's identity; to actually spend 2,000,000 to buy a Profound Rank Advanced item!

This could have bought a Profound Rank Ultimate Magic Treasure! Even those in the boxes above paid a little attention.

Which family's prodigal son was here to squander wealth again?

Guang Xiangming above had a flushed Face, his expression as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit!

Although his father was usually very indulgent with him, he wouldn't be indulgent to the point of spending 2,000,000 to auction a Profound Rank Advanced Magic Treasure!

If his father found out, he would surely be scolded, so he could only hold back this anger and close the door of the box.

After closing the box door, Guang Xiangming cursed directly:

"Damn brat, to humiliate me like this. Elder Wang, help me investigate the background of this brat. After we leave this auction house, I want him to kneel before me and beg for mercy, and then I will crush his bones inch by inch! Let's see how hard his bones are!!"

Hearing this voice, Lu Hao condensed a strand of Origin Qi and instantly shot it towards that box.

"Ah!!!"

As soon as Guang Xiangming finished cursing, a scream was heard from him.

Everyone looked towards Lu Hao, but saw him sitting there calmly, without any movement of having attacked.

Lu Hao was a Void Refining powerhouse; no one present could detect his attack.

"I said, if you say one more word, I will break your legs!"

A voice that only Guang Xiangming could hear rang out in his mind.

Guang Xiangming was instantly covered in cold sweat, which quickly soaked his entire clothes.

Even the bodyguards beside him didn't know what had happened.

The auction had just begun, and seeing such a scene, the crowd's interest was even higher.

As the auction proceeded, people kept laughing heartily because they had successfully auctioned the items they wanted.

There were also people constantly cursing because they didn't have enough Spirit Stones!

If it weren't for the fact that the president of the auction was in the Soul Transformation Stage, many people would likely have started fighting on the spot!

"Next is the 52nd lot, an Earth Rank Low Grade Magic Treasure, the Profound Light Divine Sword! This precious sword is extremely sharp and was produced in the Tian Yuan Secret Realm. It is said that anyone below the Nascent Soul Stage can be slain with a single strike! The starting bid is 5,000,000 Spirit Stones, and each increment cannot be less than 100,000!"

As soon as Jin Ya'er finished speaking, Mu Xunyun, who was sitting next to Lu Hao, became instantly excited and stood up directly!

He was a Sword Cultivator, and he was currently lacking a handy sword, so for this auction, he had brought all his assets to fight for a chance.

"6,000,000!"

Mu Xunyun shouted impatiently.

"I bid 7,000,000!"

"7,500,000!"

"7,800,000!"

Hearing the bids from the people around him, Mu Xunyun also felt a bit hopeless; he was too poor!

This time, he had brought all the assets he had and those his brother had left him, which was only a little over 8,000,000. It was clearly very difficult to compete for this treasure.

However, he still didn't give up and braced himself to shout:

"9,000,000!"

He intended to sell his own items to continue bidding.

But a voice from above made him despair.

"I bid 10,000,000."
