The young woman who ran up to the stage was actually the person who did the assessments. She was sent by Butler Wang-Dai-Su to tell Wang-Lin-Chan that there were more goods for the auction today. And Wang-Dai-Su was curious and startled at the same time when she knew what the last set of goods was…

"Please forgive me for the incident earlier." Wang-Lin-Chan rushed to apologize to the guests in the auction room. However, no one in the room wanted to be angry at her because they seemed to be under her spell…

"Please don't worry, Lady Wang-Lin-Chan. Just seeing you already makes me happy," said one of the young men in the front row, giving Wang-Lin-Chan a sweet look…

"That's right! It's not your fault. As long as you are up there, you can't be wrong."

The rich male guests started to compliment Wang-Lin-Chan because of their fascination with her beauty. However, the rich female guests were not pleased to see that. There were some of them in the room because the auction house allowed all genders to attend today's auction…

"Tsk! She's just a regular-looking girl!" said the woman in the big body, looking at Wang-Lin-Chan in a demeaning way…

"You should look at yourself before talking about her like that, chubby!"

"You!"

All the guys started to call the big-bodied woman's name. It made her so angry that she developed bulging veins, but she could not say anything back. That was because she was not as pretty as Wang-Lin-Chan…

"Alright! Respectable guests! Let the auction begin!"

When Wang-Lin-Chan finished the sentence, a young man came out with a tray. He then put it on the table that was prepared to hold the goods in front of the woman…

Rustle!

Wang-Lin-Chan took out the cover, and on the table, the guests saw a medium-sized bottle. Then she said…

"The first item that we're going to present to you is…third-level medicine. It is a thousand-jin physical-strengthening medicine. It was made by the Bright-Sky Medicine Sect. The medicine helps boost the body's strength by a thousand jin within just half a shichen. The bottle holds four pills, and the price starts at one thousand monster crystal coins."

"The third-level body-strengthening medicine? Great! I'll bid for them!"

"The medicines made by the Bright-Sky Medicine Sect!?"

A thousand and five hundred!

Two thousand!

Three thousand and five hundred!

Seven thousand!!

The bid for third-level medicine continued excitingly. The bidders wanted the medicine because it was made by the notable Bright-Sky Medicine Sect, which was in the capital city. Everybody was well aware that the medicines by the sect were tremendously efficient. They normally commercialized their first and second-level medicines.

Some of the third and upper levels could be found at drug stores, but they could be extremely expensive…

Twenty thousand!!

Twenty-five thousand!

"Will anyone give a higher price than twenty-five thousand monster crystal coins!?" Wang-Lin-Chan could not hold a smile when she saw that the bidder gave such a high price for the medicine. The more expensive the medicine got, the more the auction house gained…

In one of the private rooms on the second floor…

"Never thought that the price of the third-level body-strengthening medicine could be this high. If I knew that it would be this high, I would have brought more," a middle-aged woman, who looked younger than her age, said while staring at the bidders downstairs…

"Well, you are the one who told me that the medicine would not be that popular, so you wanted me to take that much to the auction." Another woman, who sat next to the middle-aged woman, rushed to talk after the middle-aged woman finished her sentence…

"Tsk! How dare you mock me like that?" The middle-aged woman was upset when the fifteen-year-old girl teased her…

"Hahaha! Don't get upset, please! I just wanted to tease you. That's all. Let's bring more next time, alright, Ji-Mei?" a middle-aged man in a brown cloak said with a warm smile…

"That's right, Master. I just teased her because of love." The fifteen-year-old girl rushed to agree with her master…

"Don't do that, Senior! You always help her when she gets that way. And you should respect me more because I'm your master!" said the middle-aged woman, making a sulking face…

"Hahaha!"

"Come on! I'll treat you to a beautiful dress after the auction is done," the middle-aged man said with a big smile…

"Did you mean it? You have to really do as you said!" The middle-aged woman changed from sulking to smiling after hearing the middle-aged man…

"Of course."

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"The first item was bid on by gentleman number forty-three at twenty-seven thousand monster crystal coins. At the end of the event, please pay at the counter at the entrance, sir. Alright! Let's move on to the next item!"

The next item was presented right after the first one was bid. They were just regular herbal plants, but what made them special was their ages. They were more than ten years old. The Bright-Sky Medicine Sect bid all of them in one go…

More and more goods like weapons, armor, and monster parts were presented to the bidders after the second item was bid by the sect. Those were low-level to mid-level goods, so the bidding processes went quickly. The people from other big sects, parties, and clans had remained quiet since the beginning of the auction.

The Bright-Sky Medicine Sect was the only one to bid for herbal plants, monster skins, and other ingredients for medicine making…

Zheng-Fu had not tried to bid for anything. He was just sitting quietly because he was not interested in those things. They were practically nothing to him. He thought that what he had was much more precious and useful than those things. However, he was waiting to see the Two-Thousand-Year Ginseng and the high-level fighting technique manual…

Zheng-Fu wanted the fighting manual so he could work on it to improve it. However, the problem was that he did not have any money at all. Besides, he did not know how much he would get from the four Spiritual Qi energy stones. So, he had to wait and not bid on just anything…

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the time everyone has been waiting for. From now on in the auction today, all the goods that you'll experience are the high-level ones."

Rustle! Rustle! Rustle!

When Wang-Lin-Chan started to introduce the next phase of the auction, about ten grown men soared out of the back of the auction house. They came with all kinds of weapons in their hands. Once landed, they started to circulate the stage and projected the Qi energy shield to cover the stage. These men were at either the fifth or sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

They were deemed to be a group of very strong men…

"What is happening!?"

The guests were shattered when they saw the strong men soaring out to guard the stage. Some of the guests were not startled by them because they had been to this kind of auction before. They knew that it was completely normal that the auction house would have strong men to protect the precious goods in an auction…

When Wang-Lin-Chan saw that the guests were scared, she said, "We hope you understand that we, the Purple Dragon Auction House, have to arrange security to protect the precious goods that we're about to present to you." Wang-Lin-Chan's voice almost crushed the hearts of the male guests in the room…

"Of course!"

The male guests started to calm down after they heard the explanation from Wang-Lin-Chan. They went back to anticipating the next item because it would be very expensive. And they were the reason the important people attended the auction today…

"Then let's start the auction of the special things we have for you today!"

Thud!

When Wang-Lin-Chan finished the sentence, a cute female staff came out of the curtain with a tray in her hands. There was a red cloth over the tray. The cute girl put the tray on the table in front of Wang-Lin-Chan and went back in. Then Wang-Lin-Chan did not wait to uncover the tray…

Rustle!

"That's…the Fiery Qilin Stick!?"

After the guests saw what was on the tray, they started to talk about what they saw. Everyone's eyes widened. It looked like they could pop out of their sockets. The people from the significant clans and sects felt the thirst to bid for the thing in the tray…

"That's right! This is the Fiery Qilin Stick. As you all know, the stick has only been produced once in many hundreds of years. And it can be found only in the Cave of the Fiery Qilin Monster. And the cave was full of fiery hot lava. The Fiery Qilin Stick is perfect for martial artists who have the Spirit of Fire as their hidden power.

It will work efficiently if it is boiled. Or it can be absorbed too after being used in making high-level medicine."

Wang-Lin-Chan explained the properties and benefits of the Fiery Qilin Stick. She was pretty experienced and natural at her job. Even Zheng-Fu had to compliment her as he was listening to her. He learned about the Fiery Qilin Stick from the manual. So, he knew the best way to use it for the best results…

"The starting price for this Fiery Qilin Stick is ten thousand monster crystal coins!"

"What! Ten thousand monster crystal coins!?"

The guests were shocked because they did not expect to hear that the starting price of the Fiery Qilin Stick would be that low. But when they could get their minds back, they started to shout their bids…

"Twenty thousand monster crystal coins!"

"Thirty-five thousand monster crystal coins!"

"Fifty thousand monster crystal coins!"

"A hundred thousand monster crystal coins!"

Within a wink, the price of the Fiery Qilin Stick soared up to one hundred monster crystal coins. The people in the auction room started to feel the heat of furious bidding. The Bright-Sky Medicine Sect seemed to be the most furious bidder because the Fiery Qilin Stick was one of the most significant ingredients in making high-level medicine…

"A hundred and twenty thousand monster crystal coins!"

"The Bright-Sky Medicine Sect is giving the highest bid. Does anyone want to give a higher price?"

Wang-Lin-Chan asked when the bidding seemed to slow down. She knew that the price was very high, so ordinary people would not be able to continue the bids. Only the big clans, sects, and parties would be able to do so…

"Sigh! The price went up so high so quickly. From ten thousand to a hundred thousand monster crystal coins within no time. What will happen if they bring out the next item?"

"Yeah! Those big clans, sects, and parties possess a lot of resources. How can we fight with them?"

Two men, who wore expensive outfits, chatted with grim looks. They could not bid against the VIPs in the room. However, they did not feel bad or anything because they were well aware of their financial status. They were rich but not as rich as those from the big clans…
