Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 754: Chapter 754: Million Immortal Crystals, Sky-Shocking Dragon (Third Update)

Not only that, but Gao Xinghai also removed the restrictive spell above the private box.

“It’s the City Lord of Profound Thunder City!” someone exclaimed.

Gao Xinghai gave a slight smile and nodded politely to the people around him.

“Ladies and gentlemen, this item is of great importance to me, so if it’s not urgently needed, would you kindly step aside and let me have it?”

Upon hearing his request, silence fell among several private boxes.

Firstly, the four hundred thousand Immortal Crystals bid had already surpassed what many could afford.

Furthermore, as Gao Xinghai was the City Lord of Profound Thunder City, effectively the local authority, many could only helplessly give up since he appeared so determined to obtain the item.

Thus, silence pervaded the entire room.

Gao Xinghai felt a secret thrill of joy in his heart.

Four hundred thousand Immortal Crystals was indeed expensive!

But what was being purchased could bring hundreds of years of glory and prosperity to Profound Thunder City!

As long as his daughter could become a disciple of Zhanhong Building, and he managed to establish a good relationship with Xue Liuli, the status of Profound Thunder City would be as solid as a rock.

Gao Xinghai made a suggestive glance towards Bai Qing’er, who was far away on the high platform.

Bai Qing’er pondered for a moment before preparing to finalize the sale with a hammer strike.

Before the start of the auction, Gao Xinghai had spoken to her, asking for some favor during this event.

Although Bai Qing’er didn’t think too highly of Gao Xinghai,

the auction was taking place in Profound Thunder City after all, and it was only proper to give him some face.

Moreover, the bid of four hundred thousand Immortal Crystals was acceptable, so Bai Qing’er decided to do him this convenient favor.

But just as she was about to raise the small hammer,

a voice tinged with unrestrained arrogance emerged from a private box on the second floor.

“I bid one million Immortal Crystals!”

Boom.

Everyone was stunned by this astronomical bid, and the entire place fell into silence, both upstairs and downstairs.

“Who is it?” Gao Xinghai’s face turned ashen with surprise and anger.

One does not simply bid like that, casually raising by six hundred thousand; this was clearly a direct challenge to him.

Bai Qing’er also couldn’t help but be startled by the bid. Who was making that offer?

“It’s me!”

Accompanying that voice, which carried a mixture of jest and arrogance, the restrictive spell on the private box was lifted.

The crowd saw an extremely handsome young man lounging on a spacious and comfortable couch, his face bearing a wicked smile as he gazed at Gao Xinghai.

Around the young man were several barely-clad beauties, barely covering their essential parts.

And there were concubines carefully peeling Spirit Fruit for the man, holding a jade plate.

This man, from his clothes to his lifestyle, was the epitome of opulence and luxury.

Many people did not recognize who this man was.

But Bai Qing’er did.

Bai Qing’er’s body shook slightly, then she respectfully took a step forward and offered a deep bow.

“It turns out to be Young Proprietor Lü Jinglong of Jile Hall, my respects!”

Lü Jinglong, the Young Proprietor of Jile Hall!

Hearing this name, everyone present was petrified.

Gao Xinghai felt a shudder run through him, and his expression turned exceedingly ugly.

He was certainly aware of Jile Hall.

In fact, in the entire Central Region of Guiyi, there were very few who had not heard of Jile Hall.

Because the items Chaotian Hall dealt in were Immortal Crystals.

In the entire Guiyi Central Region, and even in several other regions, Chaotian Hall monopolized a large portion of the Immortal Crystals circulation, with branches scattered all over the world.

Such a vast business naturally made Chaotian Hall extremely wealthy.

Some even speculated that not even the famous Auction Association or the Elixir Dao Association could withstand the immense wealth of Chaotian Hall.

And this Lü Jinglong was the eldest son of the Lü Family of Chaotian Hall.

It was said that his Cultivation Level was high and mighty, but he was an arrogant and enchanting person, a very troublesome existence.

Unexpectedly, he also came to the auction today.

If someone else had declared a bid of one million Immortal Crystals, others might have had their doubts, but no one doubted when Lü Jinglong said it.

Because he indeed could afford it.

Even for Chaotian Hall, one million Immortal Crystals was but a small sum.

This was exactly why Gao Xinghai’s face looked so ugly.

At this moment, Lü Jinglong grinned at Bai Qing’er, “Bai Qing’er, long time no see. You’ve become even more beautiful! Tsk, tsk, you’re like a ripe fruit about to fall from the tree!”

A flicker of annoyance flashed in the depths of Bai Qing’er’s eyes, but her facial expression remained unchanged, and she laughed coquettishly, “Young Lü, you must be joking. Which of the beauties at your side isn’t a stunning beauty? How could you take notice of my humble self?”

Lü Jinglong licked his lips, “Sometimes a change of taste is good!”

At these words, Bai Qing’er’s expression stiffened, her face turning from pale to flushed.

If someone else has spoken to her in such a manner, Bai Qing’er would have killed them in anger long ago.

Despite her flirtatious appearance, as the heiress of Jile Hall, she was extremely selective about men.

Yet facing Lü Jinglong’s teasing words, she could only suppress her rage.

Because this eldest son, she simply could not afford to provoke.

Seeing her reaction, Lü Jinglong burst into laughter, then turned to look at Gao Xinghai and said indifferently, “City Lord Gao, if you desire this item, then you should compete with me on the price. If you win, naturally, it will be yours!”

Saying this, Lü Jinglong leaned back on the cushion, biting into a Spirit Fruit brought to his mouth by a concubine, his face full of mockery as he looked over at Gao Xinghai.

Gao Xinghai’s face was extremely unsightly; that was a million Immortal Crystals, which he could not bring out no matter what. Hence, he forced a smile, “I didn’t expect Young Lü to actually grace my humble Profound Thunder City with his presence, it’s truly a neglectful welcome…”

Lü Jinglong waved his hand impatiently, “Cut the nonsense. I know what you want this item for. I am only asking if you are going to bid any further. If not, then I am sorry, but this item will be mine!”

Gao Xinghai was left speechless by the retort.

Meanwhile, Lü Jinglong faintly heard a restrained snort of anger coming from a neighboring private room.

This made the smile on Lü Jinglong’s face grow even thicker as he said lightly, “Xue Liuli, at this point, are you still unwilling to show yourself?”

Boom!

The barriers of another private room were lifted, revealing Xue Liuli’s figure.

The crowd stirred into commotion.

“It’s actually Xue Liuli from the Tianzong Zhanhong Building, the current true disciple! She actually came as well!”

“This Young Lü is not someone easy to deal with either. There’s going to be quite a show!”

She raised her eyebrows slightly and spoke with a stern face, “Lü Jinglong, what exactly are you trying to do?”

Lü Jinglong chuckled, assessing Xue Liuli with an amused look and then spoke, “Nothing much. I just want to tell you that the item you are so set on obtaining now belongs to me!”

Xue Liuli’s expression turned even colder, with an overwhelming Sword Intent beginning to permeate the air.

But she could not take action.

Because auctions naturally went to the highest bidder, and taking action would mean breaking the rules.

Moreover, the power of the Lü Family of Chaotian Hall was not inferior to that of the Zhanhong Building. If she recklessly acted, it would certainly bring huge trouble.

Upon seeing this, Lü Jinglong burst into laughter again and then turned to Bai Qing’er, “Bai Qing’er, please proceed!”

Bai Qing’er let out a sigh of relief; whatever the case, as long as the two did not start fighting now, it was an advantage. The higher the final price bid, the better for her.

Thus, she stepped forward, ready to bring down the hammer.

Just at that moment, a faint voice came, “I will take this item!”
