Dragon God Supreme

Chapter 261: Chapter 261 Auction Chapter 261: Chapter 261 Auction At present, the Earth Heart Sacred Lotus indeed is the most suitable treasure for Feng Wuchen’s cultivation.

The Earth Heart Sacred Lotus possesses vast and pure energy, which makes it the fastest way to improve one’s cultivation level at Feng Wuchen’s current stage.

In the Tianyuan Realm, it’s extremely difficult to enhance one’s cultivation level. Without sufficiently powerful energy to assist, solely relying on the absorption of nature’s spiritual energy makes it hard to advance one’s cultivation.

Even for a genius, without the help of heavenly treasures and Elixirs, it’s difficult to elevate their cultivation level.

The so-called genius still depends on heavenly treasures to cultivate.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed, and the Jiuzhou auction had already gathered the higher-ups of the five major powers of Jiuzhou as well as many powerful figures. Divine Pill City was teeming with people, and the auction hall was packed to the brim.

Each private room at the auction was filled with powerhouses from the major forces of Jiuzhou.

Among them, in the third-floor private rooms, the elites of the five major forces of Jiuzhou had already taken their seats, quietly waiting for the auction to begin.

The many private rooms on the second floor were also all occupied, and the auction hall was buzzing with noise.

So many people were here not only for the treasures, but even more so for Mu Caiyi.

Mu Caiyi was the goddess in the hearts of countless men. Even if they couldn’t win her love, just a smile from the beauty was worth it.

“Young Master, why haven’t Feng Wuchen and the others come yet?” In one of the second-floor private rooms, a guard asked with both worry and fear.

“How would I know?” Jiang Kui scolded, his face also showing fear.

“Young Master, is he really Feng Wuchen, the number one genius of the Yanhuo Empire?” the guard asked again with fear.

“How would I know?” Jiang Kui scolded once more, glaring fiercely at the guard.

As one of the five major families of Divine Pill City, the Jiang family naturally had received the news, and Jiang Kui quickly thought of the two people he had encountered at the auction.

Realizing Feng Wuchen’s identity, Jiang Kui was filled with intense regret for having invited Feng Wuchen to join them, as it was akin to being with a murderous demon.

To carry out his own scheme, Jiang Kui had booked another private room.

Jiang Kui’s original sordid thoughts vanished in an instant; he didn’t dare even think about them, unless he no longer valued his life.

Jiang Kui felt secretly grateful that the news had spread fast enough; otherwise, not even Yama could have saved him.

With Feng Wuchen’s terrifying strength, he didn’t consider the Jiang family worth noticing.

All Jiang Kui wanted now was to keep his distance from Feng Wuchen, but since he had agreed to help Feng Wuchen, he didn’t dare go back on his word, only able to wait with a heart full of fear.

Having learned of Feng Wuchen’s identity and his fearsome power, Jiang Kui dared not provoke him.

Of course, deep down, Jiang Kui still harbored a sliver of hope since the place was filled with strong figures from the major forces of Jiuzhou, and there were also Feng Wuchen’s enemies!

Some Time later, as Jiang Kui, who had been watching the entrance from the private room, suddenly saw Feng Wuchen and Ling Xiaoxiao appear, his body first trembled and then he hurriedly ran out of the private room.

Feng Wuchen and Ling Xiaoxiao were among the last batch of people to enter the auction. Anyone who came after them was stopped outside because the hall was already full.

Feng Wuchen, wearing a broad-brimmed hat, had also retracted the aura of his Soul Power and therefore remained unrecognized.

“Brother Feng, Fairy, this way, please.” As soon as Feng Wuchen and Ling Xiaoxiao arrived, Jiang Kui stepped forward with a polite invitation, leading them straight to the private room.

Jiang Kui was extremely respectful in his manner, and his previous contempt for Feng Wuchen had long since dissipated.

Feng Wuchen wearing the broad-brimmed hat was the last to enter. The powerful figures of various major forces present didn’t recognize him; in fact, they didn’t even see Feng Wuchen.

In the private room, Jiang Kui looked at Feng Wuchen with fear and saluted with a fist, saying, “Previously unaware of Brother Feng’s status, I have offended you in some ways. I hope you will not take it to heart.”

Feng Wuchen took off his hat and asked with a smile, “Now that you know my identity, aren’t you afraid that associating with me will invite deadly trouble?”

Hearing this, Jiang Kui hurriedly said, “If I don’t talk, and Brother Feng doesn’t talk, who would know?”

“Considering you have this private room, I will keep your secret,” Feng Wuchen spoke indifferently.

“Thank you very much,” Jiang Kui hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

Throughout, Jiang Kui dared not even glance at Ling Xiaoxiao, and he harbored no ill intentions whatsoever.

In the noisy auction hall, as Mu Caiyi stepped onto the auction platform, the entire place abruptly fell silent. All eyes were fixed on her enticingly graceful figure.

Below her flaming red cheongsam, glimpses of her slender legs sparked wild thoughts, making many men almost drool, their gaze fixed either on Mu Caiyi’s impressive cleavage or the glimpses of her legs.

To the eyes of the crowd, Mu Caiyi had long been accustomed, no displeasure on her stunning face, but rather, she bore a smile that was both bewitching and moving.

“Brother Feng, Mu Caiyi is famously beautiful. Don’t let her ordinary cultivation level fool you; she has Tianyuan Realm practitioners secretly protecting her. No one in Jiuzhou dares to touch her,” Jiang Kui smiled, his gaze unreservedly fixating on Mu Caiyi, not even blinking.

“She is indeed very beautiful,” Ling Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but praise.

Jiang Kui quickly flattered, “The Fairy’s beauty is no less than hers.”

The beauty of Ling Xiaoxiao was indeed comparable to that of Mu Caiyi. The two could be said to be equally matched, differing only in that one was sultry and mature, while the other was youthful and vibrant.

Feng Wuchen did not express an opinion and remained silent.

Mu Caiyi’s unparalleled beauty was known to everyone in Jiuzhou, regarded as one of the four great beauties of Jiuzhou.

“The auction begins.” From a third-floor private room, the voice of Chu Changkong was heard.

On the auction stage, Mu Caiyi said with a light laugh, “Little girl Mu Caiyi here; I believe many of you recognize me. This auction features sixty-eight treasures, each incredibly precious. Don’t miss out on the one you fancy.”

As she finished speaking, Mu Caiyi’s delicate hands flipped, and a treasure appeared out of thin air.

“The first item is a Profound Grade mid-tier Cultivation Technique, a Fire Attribute Technique, which is quite rare. The starting bid is five million Gold Coins, and each subsequent bid must be no less than one hundred thousand Gold Coins,” Mu Caiyi said with a light laugh, cradling the scroll in her palm.

A Profound Grade mid-tier Cultivation Technique, even throughout Jiuzhou, was considered a formidable technique, and for practitioners with Fire Attribute True Yuan, their cultivation speed would significantly increase.

In the great hall, the crowd was already excited; to the average cultivator, a Profound Grade technique was an extremely powerful asset.

“Six million!” No sooner had Mu Caiyi’s words fallen than someone shouted a bid immediately.

“Six million two hundred thousand Gold Coins!”

“Six million five hundred thousand!”

One after another, the bids came in a rapid succession, making the auction extremely lively. Everyone was bidding frantically, as if to win a smile from the beauty.

There were no bids coming from the second and third floor’s private rooms; obviously, those occupants were not interested.

Feng Wuchen acted as though he hadn’t heard, instead covertly assessing the strengths of the five major powers present.

The strongest were undoubtedly Nangong’s family and the Fenglan Sect. Xiao Family, Zangling Valley, and Xiewang Sect had comparable strengths to each other.

“The aura of Murong Tian,” Feng Wuchen frowned slightly as he sensed Murong Tian’s unique and evil aura, indicating that Murong Tian had returned to Jiuzhou from the Yanhuo Empire.

This news undoubtedly eased Feng Wuchen’s mind somewhat; at least Murong Tian would not strike against the Feng family.

“Murong Tian’s aura has also grown much stronger, not far from the fifth tier of the Tianyuan Realm,” Feng Wuchen murmured with a frown, feeling somewhat apprehensive about Murong Tian’s strength.

Besides, Feng Wuchen had other enemies, including Huangfu Tianba and the powerful figures from Zangling Valley.

This trip to the auction was fraught with danger. If not careful, Feng Wuchen could very well die there.

Despite the danger, Feng Wuchen showed no change in expression, maintaining an air of calm acceptance of the situation.

As time passed, treasures were auctioned off one by one, and the atmosphere in the hall reached a boiling point. Each item’s price was an enormous figure, stunning and exhilarating the crowd.

The later the treasures, the higher their prices, soaring to staggeringly huge numbers beyond imagination.

During this time, some powers from the second floor also joined in the bidding, with many precious Elixirs and martial arts techniques being won by them.

However, the five major powers had yet to participate in the bidding, seemingly only interested in the Earth Heart Sacred Lotus, and indifferent to the other treasures.

“It seems the five major powers are all here for the Earth Heart Sacred Lotus, but to whom it will go will indeed depend on each one’s ability,” Mu Caiyi said with a light laugh, before bringing out the next item.

A delicate Storage Ring appeared in Mu Caiyi’s hand, emanating a powerful aura–it was a high-grade treasure!

Hoisting the Storage Ring aloft, Mu Caiyi smiled and said, “The sixty-sixth item, a high-grade treasure Storage Ring. This Storage Ring is no ordinary item. Besides containing an immense storage space, it also possesses formidable defensive power, — capabilities not found in ordinary Storage Rings. Those interested should definitely not miss out.”

“The starting bid is fifty million Gold Coins! Each subsequent bid must be no less than one million Gold Coins,” Mu Caiyi continued.

“Old man bids sixty million!” An elderly voice from a second-floor private room was the first to bid.

“Seventy million!”

“Eighty million!”

“One hundred million!”

The private rooms on the second floor erupted in intense bidding, leaving the people in the great hall stunned and shocked.

For high-priced treasures like this, they simply didn’t have the resources to compete–the price had already far exceeded their means.

High-grade Storage Rings are indeed rare, and the addition of defensive abilities made this treasure attractive even to the major powers.

“Three hundred million!” Sure enough, from Xiao Family’s private room came the voice of Xiao Ran.

As soon as Xiao Ran spoke, he instantly added two hundred million, suppressing everyone else.

The entire venue fell into silence in an instant, and the voices from the various competitive second-floor private rooms ceased as well.

The resolve of the Xiao Family struck everyone with awe and as something unattainable, and those powers in the second-floor private rooms–even though they very much wanted the item–did not dare to bid further, not wanting to offend the Xiao Family.

Auctioneer Mu Caiyi was also somewhat astounded. She had seen plenty of Gold Coins before, but the audacity to increase by two hundred million in one go was something she encountered for the first time in her many auctions.

The other four major powers were also quite surprised as they looked towards the Xiao Family’s private room.

“I apologize, gentlemen. My son just happens to need such a treasure, I hope you can grant us this favor,” Xiao Ran said with a light smile as he walked to the window of his private room, addressing the crowd.

“Since the Xiao Family Head has spoken, we too must stand down,” the Family Head of the Song Family said with a calm smile from the second-floor Song Family’s private booth.

“The Storage Ring is indeed a fine treasure, and three hundred million Gold Coins truly is a fair price. I had considered buying it myself, but since the Xiao Family Head has spoken first, I shall not vie for love with a drawn sword,” the Sect Master of the Xiewang Sect said with a light smile.

“Thank you all,” Xiao Ran said politely with a fist salute.

But just when Xiao Ran thought he had secured the bid, and Mu Caiyi was about to make the announcement, a faint voice transmitted through the room.

“Five hundred million!”
