Chapter 265: Chapter 265 Intense Competition Chapter 265: Chapter 265 Intense Competition “Feng Wuchen, you’re merely a Fourth Rank Alchemist, what gives you the right to call the Tianyuan Pill refined by a Shen Dan Master trash elixir?”

“If you have the ability, try refining a Tianyuan Pill yourself. If you can’t, then shut your foul mouth and await death!”

“Insulting a Shen Dan Master is unforgivable!”

Strong figures from Divine Pill City and many alchemists present kept shouting angrily.

With the Shen Dan Master holding an esteemed position, everyone strenuously supported him.

Looking at the crowd’s reaction, Feng Wuchen shook his head and spoke no more.

“Offending so many people, this little bastard is certainly doomed today!” Xiao Qingshan said through gritted teeth.

Xiao Tianchen growled with clenched teeth, “We absolutely cannot let this little bastard leave alive!”

Having openly insulted the Xiao family, how could Xiao Tianchen possibly let Feng Wuchen off easily?

The Feng and Xiao families had already severed ties and held no affection for one another, their relationship now turned into deadly enmity.

Looking at the Zangling Valley elders, with their fierce and terrifying faces, all remained silent, offering no response–it seemed they had tacitly consented.

But, whether they admitted it or not, their determination to kill Feng Wuchen would not change.

Beiming River also would not let Feng Wuchen go.

There were too many strong figures present who wanted Feng Wuchen dead.

“Silence!” Seeing the chaos in the hall, Chu Changkong suddenly shouted, “If anyone has any matters, I ask that you wait until the auction is over to deal with them. There’s one last treasure that won’t take up too much of everyone’s time.”

With Chu Changkong speaking, the whole hall fell silent.

As an Honored Elder Delegate of the auction, the Shen Dan Master naturally understood the rules of the event and had to suppress the raging fire and murderous intent within him.

“Brother Feng, there’s no use in saying more. As long as we have strength, they’ll all have to submit obediently,” Ling Xiaoxiao said from the side.

“I simply said what I had to say,” Feng Wuchen said with a slight smile. “Very well, let them witness what alchemy is, what a real Fifth Grade Elixir is, in a little while.”

“Feng Wuchen, don’t even think about escaping,” Beiming River said coldly.

Feng Wuchen let out a faint cold laugh, gave no reply, and entered the private box with Ling Xiaoxiao once more.

Inside the box, Jiang Kui felt like dying; the matter had blown out of proportion, and he wished he could leave the private box immediately, but he didn’t have the guts to do so.

The guard fared even worse, collapsing into unconsciousness from fright.

The entire hall quieted down, and the smell of gunpowder gradually dissipated, but a terrifying murderous aura still pervaded the space.

This was undoubtedly the most horrifying auction in the history of Jiuzhou.

“The last treasure, the Earth Heart Sacred Lotus, can greatly help Tianyuan Realm powerhouses enhance their cultivation. The starting bid is two billion Gold Coins! Each bid must be no less than one hundred million!” Mu Caiyi announced with a hint of panic, devoid of her previous seductive smile.

The murderous aura filling the hall was too terrifying, and it would be strange if Mu Caiyi weren’t panicked–it was her first time encountering such a frightening scene after hosting so many auctions.

The Earth Heart Sacred Lotus was a treasure greatly coveted by the five major forces, and after waiting for so long, it was finally here.

But due to the frightening murderous aura, everyone was shocked into silence, none daring to speak.

“Two and a half billion!” declared the Sect Master of Fenglan Sect, starting the bidding.

“Three billion!” Xiao Ran entered the bidding.

“Four billion,” said the Sect Master of Xiehun Sect, increasing the bid by ten billion without further ado.

All five major forces understood that the initial price was just a warm-up, and any bid was acceptable; the price would continue to rise at a terrifying speed.

“Six billion!” Beiming River said coldly, his fierce gaze fixed on Feng Wuchen’s private box.

The price increased very quickly, these were truly astronomical numbers.

“Eight billion!” The Fenglan Sect’s Sect Master bid calmly, seemingly indifferent to the cost of these Gold Coins.

“Ten billion!” Xiao Ran bid indifferently. With the Xiao family’s deep reserves, they could still sustain it.

The price hike of the Earth Heart Sacred Lotus exceeded the expectations of the five major forces, revealing just how sought after it was, given the intense competition.

People in the second-floor private boxes and in the hall listened to the five major forces’ bids, the terrifying astronomical numbers nearly scaring them senseless.

They simply didn’t have the capacity to compete.

Many were curious as to why Feng Wuchen had not bid. Wasn’t he a Tianyuan Realm powerhouse? Such a treasure was surely irresistible to him.

Feng Wuchen had not bid because he was waiting for the right moment to take action; bidding now was meaningless.

In less than five minutes, the price of the Earth Heart Sacred Lotus had exceeded the exorbitant sum of twenty billion Gold Coins. What was initially a fearful expression on everyone’s faces had now turned to shock, as they were frightened into forgetting the terrifying murderous aura in the hall by the astronomical numbers.

“Gulp…”

Aside from the intense bidding of the five major forces, the only sound in the entire hall was people swallowing their saliva.

However, when the bidding price reached twenty-five billion, the pace of the bidding noticeably slowed.

“Twenty-five point five billion!” Xiao Ran frowned slightly, clearly indicating the Xiao family was nearing its limit.

“Only an increase of five billion? It seems the Family Head Xiao can’t hold on much longer,” the Xiehun Sect’s Sect Master said with a smile. “Twenty-seven billion!”

“Twenty-eight billion!” muttered the patriarch of the Beiming clan, his expression grave.

After the ancestor of Beiming bid, the whole room fell into brief silence.

No one bid again.

“It seems that everyone’s estimate for the Earth Heart Sacred Lotus is around thirty billion. My sect also brought exactly thirty billion,” the Sect Master of the Fenglan Sect slowly began with a smile, “I’ll go all out, thirty billion.”

“Unfortunately for you, our sect brought a little extra,” the Sect Master of the Xiehun Sect said with a slight smirk, “Thirty-one billion.”

“Alas, there’s nothing I can do,” sighed the Sect Master of the Fenglan Sect, giving up the competition as the price had exceeded his limit.

“Beiming ancestor, would you care to bid higher?” the Sect Master of the Xiehun Sect asked with a smile, looking towards Beiming’s ancestor.

The ancestor of Beiming frowned deeply without speaking or bidding, clearly having reached his limit as well.

Zangling Valley had just spent twenty-eight billion on the Tianyuan Pill and now lacked sufficient Gold Coins to bid for the Earth Heart Sacred Lotus, otherwise they might have been able to outbid the Xiewang Sect.

“Damn it! If it weren’t for Feng Wuchen! We would have had at least another seven billion Gold Coins! Enough to outbid the Sect Master of Xiehun!” Xiao Ran cursed angrily.

Xiao Tianchen clenched his face in agonizing anger, seething with rage.

Feng Wuchen’s deliberate prior difficulties caused the Xiao family to lose their last chance to bid.

“It seems the Family Head of the Xiao family also can’t hold on!” the Sect Master of the Xiehun Sect looked towards the Xiao family, his face beaming with a brilliant smile, feeling more and more triumphant inside.

No one bidding meant that the Earth Heart Sacred Lotus would end up belonging to the Sect Master of Xiehun.

The crowd inwardly envied the Sect Master of Xiehun to the extreme, as such a precious and rare treasure was about to fall into his hands.

“Looks like the Sect Master of Xiehun is also at his limit, isn’t he?” said the Family Head of the Nangong family with a slow, amused voice, after a long pause without any bids.

At this, the Sect Master of Xiehun’s expression shifted ever so slightly. He had thought the Nangong family had given up after not bidding for a while.

The Sect Master of Xiehun angrily thought to himself, “This old bastard actually had a trick up his sleeve!”

When the Nangong Family Head spoke up, all eyes shifted to him.

“Thirty-five billion!” The Nangong Family Head announced his bid, raising it by forty billion Gold Coins!

“Thirty-five billion!” The Sect Master of Xiehun’s face turned pale, as the number was far beyond what he could afford.

Such an astronomical figure was sure to be unsurpassed!

“This is outrageous!” the Sect Master of Xiehun scowled, watching the Earth Heart Sacred Lotus almost within his reach getting snatched away by the Nangong family.

The Sect Master of the Fenglan Sect and other powerhouses regretfully shook their heads, wishing they had prepared more Gold Coins, as then owning the Earth Heart Sacred Lotus might have been possible.

“Sect Master of Xiehun, would you care to bid higher?” came the Family Head of the Nangong’s faintly smiling voice.

“Hmph!” the Sect Master of Xiehun snorted angrily, without speaking or bidding.

The terror of the thirty-five billion bid exceeded the quantity of Gold Coins brought by all the great forces, and even if Zangling Valley hadn’t spent the twenty-eight billion to buy the Tianyuan Pill, they would not have had enough to compete with the Nangong family.

“Does anyone else care to bid? If not, the Earth Heart Sacred Lotus will belong to my Nangong family,” the Family Head of the Nangong looked towards Zangling Valley and other powers as he spoke with a smile.

The confident words of the Nangong Family Head showed he was not afraid of further bids, indicating the Nangong family had brought more than just thirty-five billion Gold Coins!

The whole room was silent, and no one spoke; the Nangong family’s bid was already the highest.

Seeing that no one else was bidding, Mu Caiyi on the auction stage said, “If no one else bids, the Earth Heart Sacred Lotus will belong to the Nangong famil–”

“Family Head Nangong, how many more Gold Coins do you have?” Before Mu Caiyi could finish announcing, the voice of Feng Wuchen suddenly came from a private room.

Upon hearing this, the Nangong Family Head’s expression remained unchanged as he calmly smiled and said, “Feng Wuchen, you want to get involved too? If you desire the treasure, feel free to name your price.”

The Nangong Family Head was not in the least intimidated by Feng Wuchen bidding, clearly very confident in the number of Gold Coins he had on hand.

Murong Tian’s eyebrows knitted slightly, and he scoffed, “You want to compete for the Earth Heart Sacred Lotus with us? Feng Wuchen, how many Gold Coins can your Storage Ring hold? Let alone three hundred and fifty billion, your Feng family can’t even produce a hundred billion, can they?”

Murong Tian’s contempt was more than evident.

Honestly, Feng Wuchen indeed did not have a hundred billion, and even if the Feng family sold everything, they couldn’t produce it, much less an amount greater than three hundred and fifty billion.

“The Family Head Nangong seems very confident, so I will not hold back,” Feng Wuchen said with a faint smile: “Five hundred billion!”

Five hundred billion!

Feng Wuchen had actually offered five hundred billion right off the bat, one hundred and fifty billion more than the Nangong family!

“Sss…”

At Feng Wuchen’s words, everyone in the hall gasped in shock, taking in a breath of cold air.

“Five… five hundred billion!” All the people in the hall were scared stiff, paralysed by the terrifying astronomical figure.

“Is this kid joking?” even the Shen Dan Master’s face froze in shock.

“Feng Wuchen actually opened with five hundred billion!” Xiao Ran was completely dumbstruck.

The Sect Master of Xiehun, the Sect Master of the Fenglan Sect, the ancestor of Beiming, and other strong forces were all stunned!

Five hundred billion Gold Coins, an amount none of their foundations could produce, and absolutely out of reach for a small family like the Feng family.

Family Head Nangong was unsettled; five hundred billion Gold Coins were well beyond the limit of what the Nangong family could bear.

Murong Tian was also completely taken aback by the number.

“Family Head Nangong, I still have five hundred billion; you go ahead and bid. I can bid casually. No matter how much you raise it by, I’ll add one hundred billion!” came the calm voice of Feng Wuchen from the private room.
