"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." The young man from the Golden Lion Protection Sect contemplated whether he should continue to bid against Zheng-Fu. That was because the Fire Fighting Technique Manual was from the ancient period. He did not know if he could make sense of it. The manual was very old and came in an ancient language, which made it hard to understand…

"Does anyone else want to give a higher bid than twenty million monster crystal coins?" Wang-Lin-Chan shouted to intentionally urge the young man from the Golden Lion Protection Sect to make his move. However, at that very moment, he was trying to make a decision…

*It's up to twenty million monster crystal coins now. If the two active bidders still want to play, the price could get to thirty million monster crystal coins. Father said that the price for the fighting skills manual could be raised by as much as fifteen million monster crystal coins from its starting price. That's the real value of it.

The price could be higher, but it's an ancient fighting skill, so no one could really make the most of it. Even our Elders cannot make sense of a lot of what's in the book.*

"Are they going to make any more offers? If not, then I'm going home!"

"Yeah! Hey, beautiful lady! Please start counting if there's no one willing to give the manual a higher price!"

The people in the auction house started to complain when the host left the auction unmoved for far too long. They demanded Wang-Lin-Chan to count, so everyone could go home because they thought that the fighting skills manual was the last item of the day…

"Alright, ladies and gentlemen! I'm going to count then!" Wang-Lin-Chan was called back from her thoughts when she was thinking about the idea of a higher price for the fighting skills manual. And for that, she let out a shy smile…

"If no one else wants to bid for the fighting skills manual, I'll start to count then!"

"Twenty million monster crystal coins, going once…"

"Twenty million monster crystal coins, going twice…"

"Why aren't you making a bid against that young man, Young Master? Are you giving up!?" Pyon-Go got all jittery. His heart was beating fast when he saw that his Young Master had not made any more bids for the fighting manual. He did not understand why his Young Master had the heart to let that high-level fighting skills manual go…

"I'll explain to you later my decision not to make any more bids for that fighting skills manual. Just don't worry about it. We'll get that manual in the end," the young man said with a cunning smile on the corner of his lips…

"What!?"

Pyon-Go exclaimed after hearing the answer. Then, all of a sudden, he started to let out a cunning smile as well. But his smile was the worst version of all cunning smiles. If anyone saw him now, they would know that the man was definitely thinking about doing something tremendously vile…

"Twenty million monster crystal coins! Sold!"

"Congratulations to that young man who won the bid for the first rank of high-level of the Fire Fighting Technique Manual. Please don't forget to pay for the goods that you won. And you all know well that you'll be punished if you don't pay and collect your items at this auction house." Wang-Lin-Chan threatened the bidders in a calm manner, which made her look more adorable than scary…

"Finally! This must be one of the longest auctions I've ever been to. My buttocks started to get numb from sitting for far too long. Well, let's go back home to our wives, guys!" The audience started to get up and prepare to leave the auction house. However, they were stopped by the voice of Wang-Lin-Chan…

"I know you guys think that the fighting manual is the last item for today's special event. But that's not it, ladies and gentlemen. Our auction house just happened to have the opportunity to present to you very valuable items that we just received right before the auction started. I have to warn you that you might get a heart attack when you get a glimpse of them.

So, I'd recommend that you leave the room if you think you're not ready to witness them."

Wang-Lin-Chan stopped the audience as they were about to leave the room with her charming smile, which practically disrupted the breathing of the male audience. However, everyone got back to themselves very quickly because they were curious about the valuable items that Wang-Lin-Chan was talking about. They wondered why she had to warn them before seeing the items…

"What are the items, Lady Wang-Lin-Chan? Why do we need to be strong enough to see them? But I'm already strong, so please show us! Hahaha!"

"Yeah! My heart is strong and big too! If you don't believe it, please come check it out!"

The guys in the auction room started to mention how strong their hearts were in many ways to tease Wang-Lin-Chan. The guests in the VIP room upstairs, at the same time, looked at the men downstairs with a demeaning attitude. However, they did not feel like they needed to do anything to stop that…

"Alright! Alright! Please calm down! I guarantee that you guys will see them in a minute. But before that, we need to set up a security system to prevent any unexpected incident that would risk the safety of the items. You see, they're very special.

The items that you'll see next are a lot more special than any of the items that we brought to you today."

"A lot more special than those items!?"

"What would be more special than those already special items?" The Elders from the influential sects on the second floor started to talk about the upcoming special items. They wondered what those items would be…

Rustle!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

All of a sudden, the auction house lowered the pre-installed cages to protect Wang-Lin-Chan. There were three layers of them. Each layer was guarded by ten martial artists who were in their Nascent Soul stage. The closest layer to Wang-Lin-Chan was guarded by the strongest martial artists in the auction house. They were as strong as the Elders of the influential sects that came for the auction…

"Do they need to protect the items that seriously?" The Young Master of the Golden Lion Protection Sect let out a question while crinkling his eyebrows out of surprise. He was appalled by the sudden appearance of those strong martial artists that the Purple Dragon Auction House had prepared for protection…

The young man never realized that the auction house would have so many great martial artists waiting to take action. He was not the only one who felt that level of surprise. Those Elders from the influential sects did not expect to see so many high-level martial artists on the stage either. Their sudden appearances, inevitably, created chaos in the auction room instantly…
