"Respecting, Young Master!"

The people in the Golden Lion Protection Sect's VIP room cupped their fists and bowed to greet the young man whose hands were covering Pyon-Go's mouth. The young man was actually the sect's Young Master. He was the genius of the sect and the oldest son of the sect's leader…

Rustle!

"Respecting, Young Master! We thought that you wouldn't come here today." Pyon-Go rushed to turn and bow to his Young Master while expressing surprise at seeing him at the auction house…

"Well, that's because you had someone go back to the sect to get more money for the auction. So, I had to come here and give you that money myself. I suspect that you must aim to bid for something very valuable; otherwise, you wouldn't send someone back for more money.

And it seems like what you're bidding is quite interesting." The young man replied while tilting his head to stare at the object on the stage. There, he saw a roll of parchment that looked like a fighting skills manual. Then he let out a light smile and tilted his head back to look at Pyon-Go…

Ugh!

"Well…"

"You don't need to explain. I'll take it from here." When the young man finished the sentence, he walked up to the seat where Pyon-Go was sitting. Then he grabbed the bidding tag so he could do the bidding himself…

"Isn't that the eldest son of the leader of the Golden Lion Protection Sect? I thought he wouldn't come to today's auction," Dan-Su-Dong said after the unexpected appearance of the Young Master of the Golden Lion Protection Sect in their VIP room…

"I heard that he's one of the most likely to win candidates in this year's martial arts competition! It's amazing that he could break through to the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage at this young age. He's like one of the most talented martial artists out there. But I guess there are some more like him in all those sects in the city as well."

Wan-Nan-Qing said while looking at the young man admiringly. She saw that anyone who got to the Nascent Soul stage under the age of twenty was something very special. However, she also thought that it was not easy at all to go from being a beginner to the mid-level of the stage.

She would know that well because she was experiencing the hardship of moving to the mid-level of the Nascent Soul stage at the moment. But she was also well aware that spending most of her time on alchemy was the very reason for it. Alchemy slowed the progress in her energy cultivation. Martial artists who really dedicated their time and energy to the cultivation would not face the same problem…

The Elders from the influential sects and clans were not the only ones startled by the sudden appearance of the young man. All the girls in the auction house started to let out big smiles too. It was extremely exciting for them to see him there. The girls had been hearing all the good things about him that he was a promising martial artist and a good, gentle man…

Tsk!

"What a show-off!"

Since most people had their admirers and haters, the young man was not different from others. All the male martial artists at the auction house also projected grudging gazes at him, which was the total opposite of the girls. However, those men knew well that they could not compete with him. They did not even dare to say anything bad about him because their energy levels were clearly lower than his.

Besides, his wealth and charm were completely unbeatable…

Not long after the appearance of the Young Master of the Golden Lion Protection Sect, the auction process resumed. The first sect to start the bid was the Royal Guardian Sect. They offered a higher bid than Zheng-Fu, which was set at sixteen million monster crystal coins."

"Sixteen million two hundred thousand crystal coins!"

"Sixteen million four hundred thousand crystal coins!"

"Sixteen million seven hundred thousand crystal coins!"

"Sixteen million nine hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine crystal coins!"

"What kind of a price offer was that? Was he trying to mess with our psyches!?" Pyon-Go started to curse Zheng-Fu again once he heard the bidding price. He did not have to guess that it was the other bidder. To him, Zheng-Fu could only be the person who would come up with that style of bidding. Nothing made him furious like the way Zheng-Fu bid…

"That was a unique way to bid! He didn't offer the round-numbered price but intentionally withheld one monster crystal coin to leave the price at that exact amount. It's like he's playing, and I like that." The young man admired the way Zheng-Fu bid for the fighting skills manual…

Rustle!

"Golden Lion Protection Sect would like to offer seventeen million monster crystal coins!" The young man raised the bidding tag to make an offer after staying quiet for a while. He had not tried to make any bids until now because he wanted to see the situation first…

"Seventeen million one hundred eleven thousand one hundred eleven monster crystal coins!"

As soon as the Young Master of the Golden Lion Protection Sect finished bidding, Zheng-Fu made another bid. This time he played with number one instead. That forced everybody to look at him because they thought that Zheng-Fu was strange…

"What!? Another strange offer? And this time it's number one? Hahaha! That's fun! Let me try that too.

Golden Lion Protection Sect would like to offer the price at seventeen million seven hundred seventy-seven thousand seven hundred seventy-seven monster crystal coins." The young man found that Zheng-Fu's way of bidding was very entertaining, so he imitated the bidding style by playing with the number seven instead.

After offering the price, he turned to smile at Zheng-Fu and waited to see how much Zheng-Fu would offer in the next bid…

"Is he trying to play with me? But I won't let him!"

"Twenty million monster crystal coins!"

"Twenty million monster crystal coins!?"

"What in the world!? Does he really have that much money? That's twenty million monster crystal coins he just offered. So, does that mean the young man is a millionaire? But how come he has no assistants with him?"

Ever since the auction began, the bidding war continued fiercely and excitingly. The bidders did not want to be easy on one another. However, Zheng-Fu could manage to be the most striking one among all of them. That was because he mysteriously appeared at the auction house out of nowhere. No one knew who he was. And the bids that he had been making were extremely competitive.

And up until now, Zheng-Fu had spent about thirty million monster crystal coins at the auction…

However, Zheng-Fu tried to keep in mind that he would not be able to do any more bids because he did not have any money with him. He just expected that he would gain somewhat more than thirty million monster crystal coins from selling the Spiritual Qi energy stones later. So, he believed that he would be able to pay for what he had won in the bid…

"Twenty million monster crystal coins? That's a very high price. What do I do now? Even though I can afford a higher bid, would the fighting manual be worth it, though? The auction house said that they could only understand less than half of it by far. And also, each portion is completely difficult to learn."
