The price was so high that it put people in the room in awe. No one expected that Zheng-Fu would win this auction for the set of armor. Most of them thought that he was sent by the auction house to hike the price of the goods. However, they knew now that Zheng-Fu was not sent to do that. He really came to bid…

"Does anyone want to give this set of armor a higher bid?" Wang-Lin-Chan continued to play her role even though she knew that the price had reached its highest point…

"Do you still have to ask us, Lady Wang-Lin-Chan? Who would be able to compete with that price!?"

"Yeah! It's eleven million monster crystal coins!"

"Tee-hee!"

Wang-Lin-Chan could only let out a shy smile after the guests on the ground floor made comments on her question. But she thought that she was only doing her job…

"If no one wants to make any more bids, then I'll count."

……….?

"One!"

"Two!"

"Three!"

"Congratulations to the gentleman! You won this set of armor, sir! If you please, you can pay for the goods and take them now, or you can wait until the auction is over. Ladies and gentlemen! You've seen three high-level items so far. We still have another three more.

So, let's not waste any more time and continue on. The next high-level item for you is Two-Thousand-Year Ginseng. It is an exceptionally rare item that we have prepared for you today. And I don't think I have to tell you how great ginseng is. The starting price for this ginseng is two hundred thousand monster crystal coins!"

"Wow! The Two-Thousand-Year Ginseng! The Bright-Sky Medicine Sect wouldn't let anyone have it because it is one of the fine ingredients for making high-rank medicines."

"Of course! The Bright-Sky Medicine Sect came to today's auction for this ginseng. But the influential clans, sects, and parties also want it. And do you think that person will bid for it too?"

When the man finished the sentence, everyone turned to look at Zheng-Fu. They all knew who 'that person' was. However, Zheng-Fu did not show if he wanted the ginseng or not. So, no one knew what he was thinking…

"Everyone! We, the Bright-Sky Medicine Sect, would like to tell you that we don't mind if anyone wants to bid for the ginseng. And we would like to make the first bid at seven hundred thousand monster crystal coins!"

The young woman from the Bright-Sky Medicine Sect informed everyone that they had all the right to bid against them, so no one could say that the sect was unfair to others…

The announcement prompted everyone in the auction room to let out smiles, but no one on the ground floor wished to bid against the sect. They knew that the Bright-Sky Medicine Sect was hard to compete with because they were the largest medicine manufacturer in the city. They were actually the largest medicine manufacturer in the country.

That was because most of their commercial medicines were much better than others, even the lower-level ones…

"You're too humble, Elder Wan-Nan-Qing. Who would dare to bid against you? We, the Heaven and Earth Daoshi Sect, would like to refuse to bid for the Two-Thousand-Year Ginseng," a middle-aged man, who was in a Daoshi robe in the Heaven and Earth Daoshi Sect room, said while smiling at Wan-Nan-Qing…

"We, the Golden Lion Protection Sect, don't need the ginseng, so we wouldn't bid for it either," said Elder Dwin-Zu-Zang of the Golden Lion Protection Sect…

"Our sect wouldn't bid for it either!"

"We neither!"

After the Heaven and Earth Daoshi Sect announced their wish to not bid for the Two-Thousand-Year Ginseng, other sects began to agree to do so. Only the Star-Killer Sword Party, the Dragon Halberd Sect, and the Office of the Royal Guardians remained silent about it. However, they did not show any interest in the ginseng either…

Come to think about it, the latter three were the powerful elites, so they tended to feel like they did not have to tell anyone about their wishes like the rest of the auction room. They were not intimidated by the Bright-Sky Medicine Sect. That was because they already had the alchemists from the Alchemist Association working for them.

Besides, the Bright-Sky Medicine Sect was under the control of the Alchemist Association, even though they were the giant in medicine making…

Sigh!

As things turned that way, Wang-Lin-Chan let out a big sigh because she could see that the auction off of the Two-Thousand-Year Ginseng would end in the way that she did not want it to be. So, she did not try to get upset about it. The only thing she could do was wait for the mysterious man on the ground floor to bid against the Bright-Sky Medicine Sect.

However, the guy seemed to show no interest in the ginseng…

*Should I bid for it? Maybe not. It seems like the Bright-Sky Medicine Sect needs ginseng. If I don't bid for it, I might be able to ask for their help in the future.* Zheng-Fu thought about the good future that he could have with the Bright-Sky Medicine Sect. So, he wanted to impress them by thinking about not bidding for the ginseng. He did not want to cause any trouble for himself…

"I don't want to bid for the ginseng either."

"What!?"

It was the first time that Zheng-Fu spoke to the people in the auction room, aside from offering the bids. That caused everyone to turn their heads toward him out of surprise. All of a sudden, he told everyone that he did not wish to bid for the high-level goods. And that even made them quite startled…

"That young man could actually make sense!" The Elder of the Bright-Sky Medicine Sect, who was angry at Zheng-Fu earlier, said with a big smile when he heard that Zheng-Fu did not want to bid against his sect…

"I didn't expect him to give up the ginseng that easily. Or is he messing around with us?" Another Elder of the Sect said out of curiosity…

"It's good that he doesn't wish to have the ginseng. Why do you have to think too much about it? Besides, I believe that he's not messing with us," said Wan-Nan-Qing, while fixing her gaze on Zheng-Fu with the utmost interest. Since the start of the auction, she felt that there was something special about him that was hard to explain, even to herself…

Wang-Lin-Chan, on the other hand, was desperate when Zheng-Fu said that. He was her last hope of helping hike the ginseng price, but he did not wish to bid for it. So, she had to try to say that…

"Does anyone want to offer a higher price for the Two-Thousand-Year Ginseng?"

……….?

No one said anything…

Sigh!

"Then I'll have to start counting. One… Two… Three!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"The auction for the Two-Thousand-Year Ginseng is done. The Bright-Sky Medicine Sect won the bid for it at seven hundred thousand monster crystal coins. And the next high-level item that we have for you to bid on is the fifth-rank medicine. It is a high level of Golden-Core medicine. It's brought to you by the Bright-Sky Medicine Sect!"

The fifth rank of the high level of Golden-Core medicine!?

"So, what they said is true. The Bright-Sky Medicine Sect recently came up with a new medicine formula and successfully made medicine out of it. I didn't know that it was the fifth rank of the high level of Golden-Core medicine!"

"This medicine from the Bright-Sky Medicine Sect helps martial artists break through from the mid-level to the next level of the Golden Core stage. For example, if a martial artist who is at the sixth level of the Golden Core stage takes this pill, he will be able to break through to the seventh or eighth level of the stage.

It depends on the talent of the martial artist whether he will move up by one or two levels."

"Wow!"

As Wang-Lin-Chan explained the quality of the fifth-ranked pill, the people in the auction room and the big clans and sects were mesmerized by the pill. They all wanted to get the pill because it would help them save a lot of resources. The progress of getting from one level to the next needed a lot of money to make it happen.

The fifth-rank pill would save them a tremendous amount of Qi energy cultivation time. And the pill might send them up by two levels at once…

"Look at those people! They're drooling over the pill. Hahaha!"

"Of course! Anyone would drool over it. It's one of the most attractive things for martial artists. However, the quality of the pill is not that efficient, as the host said because it's only the first model. So, the efficiency shouldn't be ten out of ten."

"Right! But it is still a fifth-rank pill because it helps a martial artist move from one level to the next."

The three Elders in the Bright-Sky Medicine Sect room quietly discussed the fifth-rank pill that their sect made. They knew that it did not work completely as Wang-Lin-Chan claimed. They intended to debut the pill at today's auction before they actually launched it to the market…

"And the starting price of the fifth-rank pill that helps breakthrough to the next level of the high level of the Golden Core stage is five hundred thousand monster crystal coins!"

"What!? Five hundred thousand monster crystal coins!?"

"The price is extremely high, but I think it's worth it. The real price should be at least almost a million monster crystal coins."

"Yeah! If the quality of the pill is as she said, the starting price can't be one or two hundred thousand crystal coins!"

The starting price of the fifth-rank pill put everyone in awe. But when they really thought about it, its price should be about the amount of money they had to pay for the Qi energy stones for the same result. They might even have to spend more money on the Qi energy stones…

"The Raging Sword Sect would like to offer eight hundred thousand monster crystal coins!"

"One million monster crystal coins!"

A bidder offered a higher bid for the pill right after the Raging Sword Sect finished the offering. And the bidder was the Office of the Royal Guardians…

"Take it easy, guys! It's just the beginning of the auction. Do you guys need to put it all in? Please slow down. Sigh! But if you wish to do that, the Golden Lion Protection Sect would do the same thing.

So, we are offering a million five hundred thousand monster crystal coins!"

"What! A million five hundred thousand monster crystal coins!? Is that what you want to do? Fine! Don't think that you're the only one who could do that. We, the Rainy Cloud Sect, want to offer two million monster crystal coins!"

"Whoa!"

"Didn't think that the Rainy Cloud Sect still have more money left! I thought that you ran out after you bid for that high-level sword. Hahaha. If everyone plays it this way, I'll play it too. But I'll just offer only two million and ninety-nine thousand monster crystal coins!"

"What do you think you're doing, Lao-Chuan-Di? What kind of a bid was that?" Pyon-Go could not help but curse Lao-Chuan-Di when he raised the price a little bit less than a hundred thousand monster crystal coins…

"Hahaha! I have the right to raise any amount of the price as I wish. It has nothing to do with what you think. This is an auction. They don't have the rules for offering the bidding price as long as it's higher than the previous bid," Lao-Chuan-Di said with a huge smile and looked at Pyon-Go as if he wanted to tease him. Pyon-Go was shaken by the words and got extremely angry almost instantly…

"Come on, Pyon-Go! Why did you have to get mad? Hahaha!"
