Berserk God of War

Chapter 943: Chapter 943: Senior, Please Check

When Hua Meixi saw this ancient cauldron, she murmured with some confusion: ”Huh, I feel like I’ve seen this ancient cauldron somewhere before.”

She thought about it carefully, but still couldn’t remember.

”The show is finally about to begin, hahaha.” Yang Li also stared at the ancient cauldron, emitting a strange laughter.

She deliberately spoke loud enough for the three at the next table, including Hua Meixi, to hear, but the three of them still didn’t know why she was laughing and thought the ancient cauldron was a heavyweight treasure, promising an extraordinary battle.

In the dim corridors of the venue, Yang Yi and Sikong Jing showed no change in their expressions but were also waiting for the show to take the stage.

Finally, after the venue quieted down, Zhong Pu introduced, ”This Cloud Gathering Beast Ancient Furnace is one of the important treasures in the early stages of this auction. The ancient cauldron itself has great collectible value, and inside it also contains the lower Emperor-grade ’Cloud Gathering Technique.’

As soon as this was said, the whole venue was in an uproar...

Some people who had seen the list of auction items had already attached great importance to this item.

Others, who hadn’t seen it, upon hearing there’s a lower Emperor-grade cultivation technique, their eyes shone with longing.

To most people on the Central Plains, an Emperor-grade cultivation technique is something they desire but cannot attain, much like Lu Ju’s Energy Gathering Manor is a middle Spirit-grade power, yet he hasn’t even seen a lower Emperor-grade cultivation technique.

After it quieted down a bit, Zhong Pu continued the introduction...

”Inside, besides the ’Cloud Gathering Technique,’ it also contains the fierce beast aura of the Cloud Gathering Beast, which might lead to further insights.”

”And let’s share a little story: the Cloud Gathering Beast Ancient Furnace was stolen before the auction. It was the Sky Wolf Team who retrieved it before the auction started, so we must thank the Sky Wolf Team!”

As Zhong Pu said this, the corner of his mouth slightly curled up; the higher he praises you now, the harder you’ll fall later.

”I remembered, Sikong Jing was holding this ancient cauldron at our manor during the day, not sure what he was doing.” Inside the auction hall, Hua Meixi suddenly thought of something and gently said to Yao Yuzhi.

Yao Yuzhi didn’t take it to heart either, only then realizing that the Sky Wolf Team’s mission was to retrieve the ancient cauldron.

At this point, Zhong Pu announced heavily, ”The starting bid for the Cloud Gathering Beast Ancient Furnace is two million Ming King Crystals.”

As soon as this was said, the whole venue gasped; two million Ming King Crystals isn’t something an average person can produce.

At this moment, Hua Meixi couldn’t help but look towards Sikong Jing’s direction, curling the corner of her mouth slightly and said: ”Ah Yin, now you know how terrifyingly priced things on the Central Plains are, Sikong Jing can’t afford it.”

Gongyang Ying swallowed hard, completely speechless.

She is the granddaughter of the State Preceptor of the East Plain Northern Land War Soul Dynasty and has a much stronger concept of Ming King Crystals compared to Sikong Jing. Two million Ming King Crystals would represent a year’s tax revenue for the War Soul Dynasty!

However, Hanluan City is large, and it’s the central trading area of the Central Plains East, with plenty of wealthy people.

Instantly, bidding began and prices soared all the way to six million Ming King Crystals, but it didn’t stop. At this price, with sporadic bids, it reached eight million Ming King Crystals.

Finally, it settled at this price, won by an elder in black clothes.

Upon seeing this elder, the corner of Zhong Pu’s mouth pulled into a cold smile.

”Sure enough, it was won by Old Teng Lun.”

”Everything was within Zhong Yang’s expectations. As soon as Old Teng gets the Cloud Gathering Beast Ancient Furnace, he’ll realize it’s fake.”

Zhong Pu thought to himself; this time Zhong Yang chose the Cloud Gathering Beast Ancient Furnace as the stolen auction item not by randomness.

Firstly, it was to disgrace Lu Ju, who practices the Cloud Gathering Fragment Technique; he will surely undertake the ancient cauldron.

Secondly, the Cloud Gathering Beast Ancient Furnace will surely be won by Old Teng Lun, as the latter is very eager to obtain it.

A few days ago, when the auction item list was announced, he declared to acquire it at all costs.

More importantly, Old Teng Lun is a treasure appraiser, and once he gets hold of it, he’ll discover it’s a forgery, allowing him to apprehend and punish the Sky Wolf Team on the spot.

In front of all the auction attendees, he’d suppress the Sky Wolf Team completely.

Thinking of this, Zhong Pu laughed aloud, ”Congratulations Senior Teng on obtaining the Cloud Gathering Beast Ancient Furnace. Since it’s a heavyweight auction item, could Senior Teng please step onto the stage for an in-person transaction and exhibition of the ancient furnace?”

As soon as this was said, everyone in the venue looked toward Teng Lun.

In such a large-scale auction, sometimes there are such side events, inviting auction purchasers to present the treasure on stage, but this requires the bidder’s consent. Some do not wish to be overly exposed in front of people.

Some don’t even want their name or face known, lest they be coveted by others.

But Teng Lun holds a high status in Hanluan City, backed by powerful forces, thus he isn’t afraid of identity exposure.

”No problem.”

Indeed, Teng Lun revealed a proud and joyful smile and walked straight towards the auction platform.

Zhong Pu, meanwhile, laughed wildly inside; Zhong Yang’s judgement truly predicted everything, Old Teng Lun indeed agreed to step onto the stage.

At the same time, Zhong Yang stood by the side door of the auction stage, also smiling; surely the Sky Wolf Team members are now nervous to death? They must be praying fervently that Old Teng Lun doesn’t discover it.

But given the latter’s ability, he will surely find out...

As Teng Lun’s footsteps echoed, Yang Li looked again at Hua Meixi and Yao Yuzhi’s direction, jesting: ”Someone’s in for a bad time.”

This statement finally caught Yao Yuzhi’s attention.

After a brief silence, Yao Yuzhi suddenly asked: ”Yang Li, what do you mean with your cryptic remarks?”

Yang Li, seeing Yao Yuzhi responding, finally laughed ”hehe”, raised her eyebrows and said: ”Yao Yuzhi, I’ve heard the ancient cauldron that the Sky Wolf Team retrieved is counterfeit, and if it is... someone will be in big trouble.”

Upon hearing this, Yao Yuzhi’s body trembled, stared incredulously at Yang Li.

At this moment, Wan Tonghui jumped into the conversation: ”I’ve also heard that the Sky Wolf Team couldn’t find the genuine product, so they brought a forgery to make up the count. Others might be temporarily fooled, but Old Teng Lun is not easily deceived. Our East Dominator Branch might lose face.”

Of course, they wouldn’t mention this is Li Feng’s plot, merely claiming they’ve heard rumors.

However, Yao Yuzhi isn’t an ordinary person.

She immediately sensed the scent of conspiracy, her face slightly paling as she looked towards Yang Yi and Sikong Jing in the dark corridor. If Yin Li and Wan Tonghui said was true, the trouble would be huge.

Regardless of whether it’s a conspiracy or otherwise, Yang Yi and Sikong Jing won’t evade responsibility.

But now, even Yao Yuzhi can’t make any response measures because Old Teng Lun is already on the stage.

At this moment, Gongyang Ying’s face had turned pale, extremely tense.

At the same time, in the dark corridor, Yang Yi asked: ”Brother Sikong, are you nervous?”

Sikong Jing shook his head, smiled and said: ”I have confidence!”

With his words, Teng Lun had already reached in front of the Cloud Gathering Beast Ancient Furnace, Zhong Pu shouted loudly: ”Senior Teng, please check.”
