Although the items had the same value, Ma Zheng's products were more sought-after.

Besides, the discovery of new treasures on the 3rd and 5th towers' auction lots added even more allure to the event!

They were far more competitive than the 6 billion-dollar report heard from the 5th tower!

Truly remarkable!

The 5th tower, hearing what came from the 3rd tower's side, could no longer sit still. A shadowy voice emerged with a mocking tone: "Haha, Ao Dama Mansion's treasures valued at 50,000 units? All the same, what supreme treasures do you have to offer? If it's not the scarlet threads that are vital for Blackstone Star, we wouldn't even consider such a trade at this cost."

Rather intriguing, isn't it?

Hearing Yang Chuan's words, everyone in the auction hall seemed insignificant in the moment.

Because since the beginning of the auction, while fierce bidding had taken place between some towers, neither the 1st nor the 2nd tower had joined the fray.

In the 1st tower, the barefooted occupant was not only the master of Blackstone City, but also the driving force behind its commerce. Hence, their non-participation in the auction was expected.

However, the 2nd tower, occupied by Yang Chuan, refraining from bidding was indeed conspicuous!

And now, with attention drawn to the 3rd and 5th towers, what could Yang Chuan's sudden interest in the 3rd tower signify?

Could it be that Ma Zheng sought to acquire the treasures of Heavenly Pool Castle from the 3rd tower?

The voice from the 3rd tower erupted in anger: "Your Excellency, what is the meaning of this? Are you mocking me?"

"Mocking?" John, speaking calmly, replied, "I am merely interested in your supreme treasures. In other words, I may be able to assist you."

"Assist me?"

Before the individual from the 3rd tower could respond, a jade bottle had already flown out from the 2nd tower and landed directly in the 3rd.

"Five items from the response group! Exchange all your supreme treasures for them!" Yang Chuan replied with an air of serenity.

The crowd collectively gasped.

Response group items?

And there were five of them?

They now recalled that a mid-tier item from the first round of the auction had fetched close to 2 billion units!

Yet Yang Chuan was now offering these "response group" items—five of them—far eclipsing the previously declared 6 billion valuation of the 5th tower!

It was even more astonishing, as Yang Tian had never explicitly mentioned his wealth in the past, though he was clearly a decadent magnate who had dismissed earlier lots without interest.

The expressions of the previous high rollers, Fu Qingming and the younger Pu Cheng, were both comical and incredulous as they watched this unfold.

Because they knew that Yang Chuan had casually handed over a single bottle moments earlier, and now he was offering these five with a demeanor that made it seem trivial!

The occupants of the 3rd tower were visibly shaken by Yang Chuan's considerable offer.

But above all, they were even more bewildered by the possibility of his hand reaching the 3rd tower once more… Eventually, they hesitated before venturing: "Truly… Would Yin Yang allow us to accept such items?"

"Do they satisfy you?" Yang Tian asked the opposing party coldly.

"Satisfied! Very satisfied!"

The voice trembling from the 3rd tower resounded as the Universe Realm objects vaulted from Yang Chuan's hand descended into their possession.

"These five treasures, valued together with the previously-discussed Heavenly Horse-grade products, are still insufficient. Yet portions of it will be delivered to Youlan City. The family at Youlan will surely repay this favor!"

What kind of family is this?

Upon hearing this, everyone below was utterly taken aback!

A family supported by such ascertained wealth was clearly extraordinary—and more significantly, this family seemed leagues above the likes of Liu's Blackstone lineage in terms of cultivation resources!

Every one of their horses was mid-grade!

Their alchemical specialists had already reached heights unrivaled, and their legacy rivaled the most distant, revered names like Zongye!

It was no wonder this family's Spiritual Horse refinement arts were held in such high regard!

Of course, others watching knew this, even as Yang Chuan remained indifferent and seemingly unbothered by it all.

After conferring this legacy to the younger Jian Kun, Yang Chuan promptly called forth one of Kunpeng's feathers before nonchalantly discarding other items from his Universe Realm.

At this moment, within the 3rd tower housing this notable family, a voice rose again: "Our three Yin Yang items solidify mental stability, yet their selection and cessation remain enigmatic and futile."

Three grains of treasure?

Hearing these words, everyone seemed paralyzed with shock, momentarily halting further investments.

The misapprehension of measuring a family's greatness by units of 50,000 was clear: Ao Dama Mansion's wealth and supreme treasures were evidently incomparable to their cultivation prowess!

Yet now, after Yang Chuan offered to trade five of these illustrious items, they could secure three for the National Church Union, earning unparalleled authority!

However, the Yin Yang response to such treasures spoke volumes of the shifting dynamics in auction worth around supreme and unparalleled items alike.

Such supreme items were heralded for their rarity, prominently displayed items indicative of forming medicinal wonders from the Devil's Group!

Nonetheless, the calm and confident Yin Yang voice declared: "These can be absorbed firsthand!"

What then of the units many Yuan Xin treasures might increase in their raw worth or potency?

Even if…

"Altogether, they command several hundred million US dollars. This… This single auction casts a painful wound upon my soul."

Leaving the Red Sea region, Liu Hai lamented openly.

For Heavenly Horse-level elites rooted atop Blackstone City, Moon Mountain's masters ranked as astonishingly adept, yet even their finest horses rarely exceeded thousands in price.

To witness sums in the billions was an utter revelation for Liu Hai.

However, frequent attendees of such auctions, like Bush, did not seem as shaken as Liu Hai.

At this juncture, Pu Cheng, trailing closely behind Yang Chuan, kept a constant, scrutinizing gaze upon him.

Previously, due to Yang Chuan's possession of advanced refining machines, Pu Cheng had sought to merely shadow him.

But starting today, no matter what price had to be paid, Fu Qing swore to follow Yang Chuan. Whether as a student—or even a servant!

Why so boldly—might one inquire?

At an earlier auction in Yang Chuan's presence, bidding factions murmured: "Are all these lost items mere commodities?" Yang Chuan's mastery tested not only through theoretical teachings, but through sheer prowess.

Such wealth demonstrated that all seasons, all market battles, fell squarely under Yang Chuan's family's dominance!

Though Fu Qingming refrained from expressing it outright, inwardly, he surmised Yang Chuan was nearing the heights of the Ma Realm!

At such a juncture, Yang Chuan's verdant aura was as if untouched by dust, both mystical and intriguing!

Fu Cheng, amidst such reflections, abruptly noticed Yang Chuan had stopped in his tracks.

It was Lan'er who inquired with hesitance, "My lord, what's wrong?"

"Show yourself!" Yang Chuan stated calmly.

Show yourself?

This proclamation instantly clouded the air with uncertainty, baffling even Fu Qingming.

Had someone unbeknownst been following them?

With this thought, the two immediately turned around.

In the distance, an eerie gust of wind stirred as three shadowy figures gradually emerged from it.

These three men were unmistakably extraordinary, with one dressed in flamboyantly garish attire and bearing an elongated, handsome face.

He stood flanked by two others, clearly his subordinates.

As this striking figure materialized, his previously handsome visage twisted into a sardonic smile, laughter dripping with derision as he sneered: "Hahaha, so the new runt tagged along as expected! Just stepping out of acclimatization yet already tracking down my prey?!"

Hearing this, Liu Hai and Qingqing's expressions shifted immediately!

They didn't know who this strikingly peculiar man was, but from his words, there was no doubt—he harbored malicious intent toward Yang Chuan!

Swiftly, Liu Hai stepped forth, shouting, "Who are you?! What do you want?!"

"Who am I?"

The man named Jun Lan suddenly spoke in a disconcerting tone that transformed into an indistinct mutter. "Who do you think I am?"

The eerie voice ignited Fu Qingming's memory as Liu Hai muttered uncertainly, "Could it be... No, wait a moment—that dismal shadowed voice from the 5th tower earlier?"

Previously at the 3rd tower, when my family's Yin Yang treasures were up for bidding and Yang Chuan dealt a finishing declaration, this voice had loomed...

But neither Liu Hai nor Fu Qingming then paid it much heed!

Such was the nature of auctions—to mask one's identity for protection. Without this safeguard, who would dare acquire supreme treasures without risking pursuit?

Otherwise, who would dare attend the illustrious barefoot auction of commerce?
