As for the side of the Serpent Dragon Sect at this moment, they still did not show any expression or bid against the Bright-Sky Medicine Sect in any way. They were waiting for an answer from their sect on what to do. The middle-aged man was unable to do anything right now.

"Is anyone going to give more than 100,000,000 monster crystal coins? If not, I'll start…"

110,000,000 monster crystal coins!!!

"The Star-Killer Sword Party would like to bid at 110,000,000 monster crystal coins!" Suddenly, the bidding voice sounded again. It did not come from the Serpent Dragon Sect, but from the Star-Killer Sword Party that had been sitting silently throughout the auction.

"Oh… Didn't think the Star-Killer Sword Party would also be interested in this bottle of antidote," Zhong-Xi-Dang, the Elder of the Bright-Sky Medicine Sect, asked with slight suspicion, seeing the Star-Killer Sword Party had made a bid just now.

"Ha ha ha! Our party just wants to join in on the fun. I hope Master Zhong-Xi-Dang doesn't think too much. This is just an auction," said the Elder of the Star-Killer Sword Party with a slightly satisfied expression on his face.

"Huh, it's up to you guys. What can I say? Well, this is just an auction. Whoever has more money can get the items. That's all. I hope you guys have enough money.

Bright-Sky Medicine Sect would like to offer 120,000,000 monster crystal coins!!!" Zhong-Xi-Dang said back with a sneering face and a little nag.

Tsk!!!

130,000,000 monster crystal coins!!!

140,000,000 monster crystal coins!!!

150,000,000 monster crystal coins!!!

Both sides continued to raise prices fiercely. There were some clans and sects that had participated in this auction as well because this bottle of antidote was like a very precious commodity. It was no different from a small spiritual stone.

In the auction room of the Serpent Dragon Sect...

"By the way, are you telling us not to attend the auction for that bottle of the potion!?" the middle-aged man cried out loudly, responding to communicate stone in shock at the answer he received. This conversation was heard only by him and the other person who used the communication stone.

"That's right, we won't be participating in this round of the auction. But we'll snatch it after the auction is over. But if we're unable to snatch it, then destroy it. That's enough," the voice from the communication stone user on the other side replied again about the plan to steal the antidote without participating in the auction.

"That's right!!! Why can't I figure it out? If so, I'll do as Grand Master commands. When the auction is over, after leaving the city, we'll take action immediately," the middle-aged man accepted the order with a smile on his lips.

270,000,000 monster crystal coins!!!

Finally, the auction ended, and the winner of this round was the Bright-Sky Medicine Sect, who won at a price of 270,000,000 monster crystal coins. As for the Star-Killer Sword Party, they did not have a look of distress at all. On the other hand, they even had happy expressions on their faces.

That was because they made the Bright-Sky Medicine Sect spend more than two hundred million monster crystal coins. This would reduce the chances of winning the elemental spirit stones auction even further. So, they did not feel anything when they could not win the auction in this round.

"Congratulations to Bright-Sky Medicine Sect for winning the auction in this round. Then let's start the next auction." When Xiao-Jiang finished the announcement, a young woman walked out, holding a wooden box the size of a human arm and placing it at the podium as before, then walked back.

Flap!!!

"The next item is a high-level sabre, made from extremely durable Fire Magma ore. It is extremely sharp, making it able to cut a lower-level weapon in a single cut. Not only that, but this sabre also merged the Monster Spirit of an intermediate level of the Nascent Soul stage fire-elemental monster beast. That's the Magma Eel Monster as well."

Whirl!!!

Gkee... gkee... gkee... gkee!!!

Wow!!!!!

The aura of the sabre that was released was so intense that one could even feel it. Not only the aura but also the sound of the Magma Eel Monster Beast roaring after the box was opened and revealed the sabre.

Zheng-Fu obtained this sabre from the dimensional space within the Aquatic Dragon sword that he had previously entered. It was inside one of the dimensional rings he had picked up. But he wanted to make Xiao-Jiang's auction party even more famous, so he had to bring it to the auction this time.

Of course, he would also bring other valuable items that he had acquired to be part of the auction because it would help build credibility and attract attraction from everyone who came to bid here. Another reason was to earn additional income for the development of the nation—no! to develop his clan and In-See City as he had planned.

But even then, Zheng-Fu had no intention of bringing great items to the auction. Otherwise, their clan would be in a bad situation because no matter how much money they had, they could not buy precious items. Well, unless they built them by themselves. Or else, go find them at the ancient ruins guarded by the high-level monster beasts.

"Declare the price, Miss Xiao!!!" This time, it was the sound of the Star-Killer Sword Party who spoke first, excitedly, seeing the sabre that Xiao-Jiang brought out because they already had a liking for sabres. When there was such a great sabre, they could not miss it.

"Yes, yes, yes!!!"

"Calm down first, sir. Before we start the auction, I'd like to clarify a little bit about this sabre. Otherwise, the person who bid could blame us. And what I'm going to tell you is, this sabre has a soul of its own. If you want to own it, you must defeat it first. If unable to do so, then that person might be possessed by this sword and possibly even die."

"Ha ha ha! That matter is not a problem for our Star-Killer Sword Party, Miss Xiao-Jiang. You can set the price now. Anyway, our party will get this sabre," Zhong-Nan-Jia said confidently that his party would definitely be a bidder.

"Tsk! These big sects really like to act confident!"

"That's right, who would dare to fight the price!?"

"No matter what anyone says, this is an auction, not a martial arts manoeuvre to measure manpower or energy level. This is measured by money, money, just money!!!"

"If everyone would like to say that, that's fine. So, I'll set the price of this sabre at 50,000,000 monster crystal coins!"

Ah!!!

As soon as the price was announced, the clamoring ceased unexpectedly because its starting price was several times higher than the previous one. And the price that Xiao-Jiang announced, Zheng-Fu was the one who told her to set it at this price.

He had already calculated that this price was considered the best. Since the higher the price, the more reliable the product would be. When combined with the excellent narration, everyone had to pay to get it for sure.

70,000,000 monster crystal coins!

75,000,000 monster crystal coins!

80,000,000 monster crystal coins!

100,000,000 monster crystal coins!

The silence lasted only for a breath, then the sound of an additional bid rang out. Of course, many wealthy people do their best. It also seemed that no one would give in to anyone. Even Zhong-Nan-Jia had a dazed look on his face, wondering why so many people were bidding against his party.

"The Star-Killer Sword Party offers to add up to..."

150,000,000 monster crystal coins!

170,000,000 monster crystal coins!

180,000,000 monster crystal coins!

But before Zhong-Nan-Jia could bid, the sounds of the additional bids interrupted him. Those who bid against him were both general participants and the large sects surrounding him. In other words, they were all people he knew and was familiar with. Those people did not care about him or his party at all.

"The Star-Killer Sword Party bid at a price of 200,000,000 monster crystal coins!" Seeing that no one thought of giving in to his party, Zhong-Nan-Jia immediately offered a bid.

"The Office of the Royal Guardians offers a price of 220,000,000 monster crystal coins!!!"

240,000,000 monster crystal coins!

250,000,000 monster crystal coins!

Bidding continued to be fierce and continued to increase without showing signs of stopping. The Star-Killer Sword Party was leading the auction this time because when someone bid more, they would also offer an additional price. One of the people who bid against him was Zhong-Xi-Dang, for he wanted to recoup the Star-Killer Sword Party that had manipulated the potion price earlier.

Gnash!!!

3... 3... 370,000,000 monster crystal coins!!!

Wow!

"Seems like the Star-Killer Sword Party has reached its saturation point?"

"I think so. They still have to reserve money for the auction of the elemental spirit stones!!"

"But I think this sabre is worth as much as an elemental spirit stone because it's regarded as a high-end weapon that's very durable and sharp. Plus, it's also merged with a monster spirit."

"But don't forget that it isn't that anyone who wants to use this sabre can use it!"

"That's right. I forgot that it has its own soul and consciousness!"

At Zheng-Fu's Auction Room...

"Kid, why did you put such a precious sabre on the auction list?" Elder Yan, who had been watching for a long time, could not help but wonder why Zheng-Fu put such a magical sabre on the auction list.

"I just wanted to make the auction more colourful and exciting." Zheng-Fu turned to Elder Yan with a smile.

"Huh, are you crazy? Just because of that reason, you even give such a good thing to someone else?" Elder Yan heard Zheng-Fu's answer, shouting scoldingly. He felt very sorry for Zheng-Fu's thoughts.

"Come on, it's just one sabre. I still have a lot of stuff like that. Don't be too serious!"

Hah!!!

"What did you say? Can you say it again?"

"I said that I…still...have...a…lot....of...stuff...like...this!!!!! Is it clear, Elder Yan, who has bad ears!?"

You...you!!!

Huh...!

Elder Yan frowned. His face turned dark green in anger at seeing the expression mocking him and hearing Zheng-Fu's words just now. But he could not do anything about Zheng-Fu, other than sitting quietly, frowning like that as usual.

Back on the auction stage...

"Is anyone going to give more than 370,000,000 monster crystal coins?" Xiao-Jiang saw that no one had bid more. So, she asked loudly again before turning to look at Zheng-Fu to ask for an answer for a countdown to the closing of this auction round.

Um…um…um!!!

"Then I'll start the countdown now if no one gives more...than..."

380,000,000 monster crystal coins!!!

Hah...?

But suddenly, the sound of an additional bid rang out again. And when everyone looked at the source of the sound, they found that the person who bid to fight was the Third Prince, from the room of the City Lord himself.

"I, Third Prince, would like to propose an increase of 380,000,000 monster crystal coins!" The Third Prince held up a price tag as he bid. At the corner of his mouth, there was a slight smile, along with a distant gaze in the direction of Zheng-Fu.

Bang!!!

"Bullshit! What is this? Previously, he did not show any signs of participating in this round. And now he bids at the last moment. Do...doing this is clearly such a bluff!" Zhong-Nan-Jia instantly got hot-headed and shouted in a rage, seeing the Third Prince bid against him in the final turn that he was almost a winner.
