"Come on, Elder Pyon-Go. It's an auction, not a boxing stadium. There's no point in getting mad. Nevertheless, the price of that fifth-rank pill can't exceed three million monster crystal coins. So, I think we should take a risk on it. What do you think about that?"

"Are you saying that we should offer three million monster crystal coins for the pill?"

He nodded.

"Are you crazy, Master Zhou-Qin-Hu? What if the pill is not that expensive? Do you think that it'll be worth the money?"

"Worth the money? Of course. It would be worth three million monster crystal coins. Think about it. How many Qi energy stones would we need to move from the sixth to the seventh level of the Golden Core stage? And how many more do we need if we want to move to the eighth level?

That pill alone would send us from the sixth to the eighth level in one go. Do you still think that it's not worth it?" Elder Zhou-Qin-Hu explained to Pyon-Go how the pill would be worth three million monster crystal coins…

"Ah! I didn't think of that. I guess I let my anger at you take me away from rationality. What you said was completely rational. So, let's do it!" When Pyon-Go agreed with Zhou-Qin-Hu, he immediately raised the bidding tag…

"Three million monster crystal coins!"

"What!?"

"Are they serious or crazy!? That is too much. The real price of the pill should be about 2 million something. It should not be over two million three hundred thousand monster crystal coins!" Zheng-Fu exclaimed in amazement when Pyon-Go offered that high price for the pill…

"The pill should not cost more than two million three hundred thousand monster crystal coins? Why is he so confident about the price?" The middle-aged man next to Zheng-Fu also exclaimed after he heard what Zheng-Fu thought about the price of the pill. So, he turned to ask him…

"It's not hard to see. The reason why the price should be about two million three hundred thousand million monster crystal coins was that the pill is not the complete version of it. So, its efficiency should be about seven out of ten portions.

And the person who takes the pill will only improve their energy by one level." Zheng-Fu turned to answer the middle-aged man with a calm face as if he was telling a story…

"Not the complete version? How do you know that it's not the complete version?" The middle-aged man asked how Zheng-Fu knew about the pill…

"I just know about it, alright? But I can't tell you how. And I don't expect you to have to believe me." Zheng-Fu did not want to answer the question, so he tried to stop the conversation. Then he turned back to the stage…

"I see. If what you said is right, then it's not going to be worth it for the Raging Sword Sect to pay that much." Not only was the middle-aged man not angry at Zheng-Fu for ignoring his question, but he also admired Zheng-Fu and believed him…

Wang-Lin-Chan was extremely happy with the price because the Bright-Sky Medicine Sect actually set the price of the pill at 2.3 million monster crystal coins. It was exactly the price that Zheng-Fu had told the middle-aged man. She was pleased that the pill made seven hundred thousand more monster crystal coins than expected. It could compensate for the loss in the previous auction…

"Does anyone want to give it a higher price? If not, then I'll start to count."

"Three million, going once…"

"Three million, going twice…"

"And the fifth-rank pill is sold for three million monster crystal coins!"

"Congratulations to the Raging Sword Sect for winning the bid for the fifth-rank pill. It is the pill that helps improve to the higher level of the Golden Core stage. And it is sold for three million monster crystal coins!"

"Hahaha! The Raging Sword Sect is indeed raging for the pill. It's too bad that we had only one pill; otherwise, we would have made more money from today's auction," Zhong-Xi-Dang said in a good mood for being able to sell the fifth-rank pill at a higher price than expected…

"Well, it's nice that we gained much more than we expected. But I'm afraid that they will come back and haunt us when they don't benefit from the pill as they expected." Dan-Chu-Dong said with worry…

"Let's not worry about that. They can't do anything to us because the pill can help them improve by one level. Besides, the lady host explained that it also depends on the talent of the person who takes the pill and whether they can improve by two levels. If they come to us, we will use that explanation to tell them off," Wan-Nan-Qing said with a light smile.

She was extremely charming and seductive, especially with that bosom of hers…

"Well… You're right!"

After the two Elders listened to Wan-Nan-Qing, they felt enlightened and let out joyful smiles. The worry that they had was completely gone. They were both pleased that she came to the auction with them today…

"Alright, ladies and gentlemen! Let's move on to the last high-level goods that we put on the schedule. And the item is the first rank of high-level of the Inferno Flame Fighting Manual."

Rustle!

Wang-Lin-Chan said while uncovering the fighting manual. What the guests saw in front of them was a carved wooden stand that held a fighting manual. It was a red manual that emitted heat from within…

"We found this Inferno Flame Fighting Manual in the remains of an ancient building that was many thousand years old. There were many higher-level monsters guarding the manual in the building. Our men almost lost their lives when they went in and got this manual for us. After an examination, we found out that the manual is the first rank of a high-level fighting technique."

Wang-Lin-Chan explained the Inferno Flame fighting manual with pride because it was found and brought to the auction by the auction house itself. They did not want to keep it to themselves because the technique was old, and it was hard to master. So, they decided to sell it instead…

"The starting price of this fighting manual is one million monster crystal coins!"

"One million monster crystal coins!"

"The starting price makes me get goosebumps. But then again, it is a high-level fighting technique. So, it's hard to find. And they found it in the remains of an ancient building that is more than a thousand years old too. It must be a very powerful fighting technique."

"Yeah. If I have a lot of money, I'll definitely bid for it!"

"What do you think would happen if you won the bid? Aren't you afraid that someone might steal it from you afterward?"

"What!?"

Two men, who were not far from Zheng-Fu, excitedly chatted about wanting to bid for the Inferno Flame fighting manual. They knew that they would not be able to win it in a bid. And even though they could have it, they would not be able to save it because someone would come to steal it. To survive in the world, they knew that they needed to be strong; otherwise, death would come to them easily…

"Two million monster crystal coins!" The minute the auction for the Inferno Flame fighting manual started, the Dragon Halberd Sect made the first bid instantly…

"Three million monster crystal coins! We, the Star-Killer Sword Party, offer the bid at 3 million monster crystal coins!"

"Didn't know that the Star-Killer Sword Party would be interested in a fighting skill that's not a sword-fighting skill either."

"Tsk! Even though our party focuses on sword-fighting skills, it doesn't mean that we're not interested in other kinds of fighting skills as well. But enough about us, Master Xiao-Zhong! Do you still have enough money to bid on this fighting manual?" Zhao-Pu, the Elder of Star-Killer Sword Party, said to Elder Xiao-Zhong of the Rainy Cloud Sect in a mocking tone…

"You!"

Xiao-Zhong could only curse at Zhao-Pu quietly because his sect had brought only five million monster crystal coins. They had already spent two million three hundred thousand on the high-level sword earlier. So, they did not have enough to bid for the Inferno Flame fighting manual…

"A fighting manual from an ancient building? It looks like an ancient fighting technique. If I win it for the clan, we'll become much stronger." Zheng-Fu mumbled while staring at the manual with sparkling eyes, out of the need to get it. However, even though he thought that it would be great to have it, he did not want to bid for it yet because he did not want to look bad in front of others…

"Three million two hundred thousand monster crystal coins!"

"Three million five hundred thousand monster crystal coins!"

"Four million monster crystal coins!"

"Four million seven hundred thousand million monster crystal coins!"

The auction for the Inferno Flame fighting manual continued heatedly. It was more exciting than a boxing fight. No one wanted to give the manual to anyone. Three sects and one party had been bidding against each other for the past half hour…

"Seven million seven hundred thousand monster crystal coins!"

"Seven million nine hundred thousand monster crystal coins!"

"Eight million monster crystal coins!"

"I don't think you have any more money to make the next bid, Master Dwin-Zu-Zang. So, you should give in. Hahaha!" Elder Dong-Dong of the Star-Killer Sword Sect said when he saw Dwin-Zu-Zang's facial expression. He knew from the sweat on Dwin-Zu-Zang's forehead that the man's sect had almost reached its budget limit…

These sects, parties, and clans actually had much more money than they had brought to the auction. But it would take them a long time to get back and get the money. By the time they got back, the auction would have finished…

"Tsk! It seems like you don't know anything about us. Our sect has no money problems. You should know that!"

"Is that so? Then I guess your sect wouldn't mind donating some of your money to poor kids?"

"You!"

The argument between Elder Dwin-Zu-Zang and Elder Dong-Dong did not startle anyone because they normally argue with one another. They could fight this way no matter how big or small the auction was. Whenever they met, they had to tease one another…

"Does anyone want to offer a higher bid than the Star-Killer Sword Party? If not, then I'll start to count."

Wang-Lin-Chan could not stand the two Elders and their arguments, so she cut in to call everyone back to the auction. Once everyone heard her, they got back to bidding for the Inferno Flame fighting technique. The Royal Guardian Sect was the first to continue the bid…

"The Royal Guardian Sect would like to offer a bid of eight million four hundred thousand monster crystal coins!"

"The Dragon Halberd Sect would like to bid on eight million seven hundred thousand monster crystal coins!"

"The Heaven and Earth Daoshi Sect would like to offer eight million eight hundred thousand monster crystal coins for the fighting manual!"

"Do they still have more money to bid with? I guess we'll have to offer a very high price for the fighting manual now, so they can't bid against us. The Star-Killer Sect would like to offer a bid of…"

"Ten million monster crystal coins!"

"What!?"

All of a sudden, someone made a bid before Zhao-Pu finished his bid. It made the man gasp and turn to the one who had made the bid right before him instantly. And he was about to offer ten million monster crystal coins too…

"It's that kid!"

When Zhao-Pu turned to look at the person who had made that bid, he saw Zheng-Fu showing the bidding tag and was about to put it down. He developed bulging veins all over his face instantly. He was extremely satisfied when Zheng-Fu bid against the Raging Sword Sect and others earlier. However, he felt differently when Zheng-Fu bid against him now…

"Darn it!"
