As soon as Zheng-Fu's pressure was released, all the skilful cultivators in this auction hall received it, except for his people and Xiao-Jiang's people, who were not affected. Even the Third Prince also felt it.

Augh!!!!!

"Huh… What kind of pressure is this? Why is it so intense!?" The middle-aged man from the Serpent Dragon Sect had a pale face and spat out a mouthful of blood as he was suppressed by Zheng-Fu's pressure. Even though he had already sent out his energy to resist, he was still unable to resist.

The people from the major clans and other main sects were also not different. They were all under this pressure that they could hardly move.

Flop!!!

But suddenly, all the pressure disappeared. Everyone could return to their balance once more. But their faces still looked pale. And there were a lot of beads of sweat flowing out anyway.

Gulp!!!

When everything started to calm down again, no one made any sound of conversation. There was only silence, and the sound of swallowing saliva could be heard by everyone while their eyes stared at Zheng-Fu in disbelief.

"Hope everyone understands that these spiritual stones really belong to my master. And there's one more thing I would like to tell you. Today there will be ten sets of spiritual stones like this one. Or, in other words, it's all forty pieces of them. I hope you will enjoy bidding, sir.

And from now on, let me entrust the duties to Sister Xiao-Jiang," Zheng-Fu said in a smooth tone as if nothing had happened before, with a smile on the corner of his mouth. Of course, what he had done had a reason. Then he handed over the duties to Xiao-Jiang.

Ah... Um!!!

"Well… So it is, as you all heard from Brother Zheng-Fu. Then let's start bidding on the spiritual stones first. The first stone that we're going to auction is the fire elemental spiritual stone in the red box!" Xiao-Jiang hurriedly regained her senses, after Zheng-Fu handed over the duties to her once again and stared at her with a smile.

However, even though the people in the hall came back from the fear of the pressure just now, some of them were still unconscious. Some even froze and stood there stunned. Some fainted because they could not stand it. But all the leaders of the main sects, the big clans, and the big party all had their sanity back. Although there was still a lot of shock and doubt, no one dared to ask anything.

"The starting price of this fire elemental spiritual stone is 50,000,000 monster crystal coins!"

"50,000,000 monster crystal coins!!!?"

"50,000,000 monster crystal coins!!!"

"Oh, the price is such high!?"

"Of course, it's an elemental spiritual stone. It isn't a mid-level Qi energy stone that would only cost a few hundred thousand coins."

"Will we have a chance to win the auction if it goes like this!?"

Some of the bidders in the normal seats immediately exclaimed in shock upon hearing the starting price of the first spiritual stone since this was the first time they had seen and participated in the auction. But the big sects did not show any reaction.

It was because the price was appropriate. Although it was smaller than that which was auctioned in the capital city, it was still worth it. The highest price for one stone like this could be between three and four hundred million.

In the auction room of the City Lord...

"Master Lao-Ying-Ba, do you know his master?" As soon as the Third Prince heard that Zheng-Fu had a master, he could not help but ask out of curiosity.

"I apologize, Your Highness. I also don't know who Master Zheng-Fu's master is. I haven't seen him either?" Lao-Ying-Ba replied truthfully because he was still not sure if what Zheng-Fu said was true or not. If this was true, he had never met the master, as he said, either.

"Is that so? Hmm... How amazing. The pressure power just now was greater than my elder brother Lu-Song-Xi's energy. We can call him a genius of geniuses. Just his energy level is such high like this, how high will his master's be?" the Third Prince muttered with great curiosity and suspicion about Zheng-Fu.

In the auction room of the Star-Killer Sword Party...

"This energy level is comparable to that of the leader of the party... No, it might even be higher. This needs to be reported to the leader!"

"Don't report yet; just wait for us to return to the party, then we'll report!"

"Why?"

"Don't you think that if he has such a high level of cultivation, he won't hear what we're reporting?"

"Ah... Really!"

"Now we should pay more attention to the auction!"

Alright...

"Star-Killer Sword Party bid the price of 250,000,000 monster crystal coins!"

In the auction room of the Bright-Sky Medicine Party...

"Those guys from the Star-Killer Sword Party begin bidding. We, too, should offer some fighting bids. Not just thinking about that child!"

"That's right... But no matter what, we need to find a way to talk to him for the bright future of our Bright-Sky Medicine Sect!"

Um...

"Bright-Sky Medicine Sect would like to bid an increase of 280,000,000 monster crystal coins!"

"Golden Lion Protection Sect proposes an increase to 290,000,000 monster crystal coins!"

"Dragon Halberd Sect offers an increase to 300,000,000 monster crystal coins!"

"Raging Sword Sect offers an increase to 305,000,000 monster crystal coins!"

"Frenzy River Sect offers an increase to 310,000,000 monster crystal coins!"

"Three Peaks Monastery Party proposes an increase of 330,000,000 monster crystal coins!"

Huh...!?

Three Peaks Monastery Party!?

"Is that the Lama from the northern peaks?"

"Didn't think they were also participating in this auction?"

The sound of suspicion arose immediately when everyone heard the voices of the people from the Three Peaks Monastery Party. It was because this party was another big sect that was famous for hand-to-hand martial arts with staff and cudgel. All the disciples of the party had to be ordained to become lamas first before they could join the party. They were also known as the Chinese Lamas.

The reason why everyone was suspicious was that the Three Peaks Monastery Party rarely descended from the hill. If the supplies or various appliances were not exhausted, there was very little chance of seeing them. But when the country was at war, they never stayed still in silence, but came down to help fight every time.

Sometimes they also sent their disciples down to various monasteries scattered throughout the country, but the main monastery was located at the top of three contiguous peaks in the north. That was the origin of the name of the party.

After the Three Peaks Monastery Party made a bid, no one else bid to fight because the price had reached its top point. Besides, no one raised the price, probably because there were still many elemental spirit stones.

Bang! Bang! Bang!!!

"Since there is no one offering a further bid, I'll close the auction in this round. The Three Peaks Monastery Party is the winner of this auction, with a price of 330,000,000 monster crystal coins!" Xiao-Jiang immediately announced the end of the auction because this was an order that she had received from Zheng-Fu.

"Alright, let's start the next auction. The starting price of the next elemental spirit stone is 50,000,000 monster crystal coins, the same as the first one!"

"Three Peaks Monastery Party bid 330,000,000 monster crystal coins!"

Huh...?

As soon as Xiao-Jiang began to open the price, the Three Peaks Monastery Party immediately bid the same amount as the previous round, which was a high bid from the beginning and equal to the closing price of the previous item, causing the people who were about to open their mouths to bid had to shut up.

They turned their heads to look at the silver-level special auction room where the members of the Three Peaks Monastery Party were sitting.

"Damn it! What are these stinking lamas doing!? Won't let anyone get one at all?"

"That's right, bidding a high price from the beginning like this, why don't they just take it all alone?!"

Then the loud chatter immediately rang out as everyone regained their senses because this kind of auction was no longer called an auction. It should be called a deliberate purchase.

Ahem!!!

"Everyone, I don't care who bids high or low. The one who offers more, that person is the winner. If you don't have the ability to offer, you'd better shut up!" Suddenly, Zheng-Fu's voice sounded again, bringing back the consciousness of the people who had caused the chaos.

Gulp!!!

Of course, his voice made all those who were chatting loudly go silent. They had already realized what would happen next if they disobeyed him and still argued. They definitely did not want that, so they shut their mouths up.

"Is anyone going to give more than 330,000,000 monster crystal coins? If there is not, I'm going to start the countdown." Xiao-Jiang began to do her duty immediately after seeing that the people had calmed down.

"Bright-Sky Medicine Sect would like to bid an increase of 340,000,000 monster crystal coins!" Suddenly, a middle-aged man from the Bright-Sky Medicine Sect immediately raised a bid to fight because the spirit stone that was being auctioned was a water elemental, which was very suitable for the people of his sect.

350,000,000 monster crystal coins!

Huh...?

But before the middle-aged man's voice from the Bright-Sky Medicine Sect ended, an even higher bid suddenly rang out from the Three Peaks Monastery Party's room without any hesitation.

"Damn it, are they even interested in the water element? I think they are more focused on wind and fire."

"I don't know... But a few years ago, I heard a rumour that they had excavated the ancient remains in the cave beneath their peak. And they acquired new skills which involved using the four elements: earth, water, wind, and fire in battle!"

"So that's why they want to win these four rounds of bidding."

"Maybe that's true, and maybe not. Because that's just a rumour!"

"Bright-Sky Medicine Sect would like to propose an increase to 355,000,000 monster crystal coins!"

360,000,000 monster crystal coins!

As soon as the price increased, the Three Peaks Monastery Party immediately increased it as well. That caused everyone to start believing in the rumour and thinking that was the reason they were willing to pay for the four elemental spiritual stones. But who knew what they were really thinking?

Of course, no one knew, besides a bald middle-aged man wearing a lama robe and a knitted hat on his head with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Looks like the rumour must be true. Look, they actually paid for the four elemental spirit stones!"

"But I think…"

"Bright-Sky Medicine Sect would like to increase the price to 365,000,000 monster crystal coins!" And the middle-aged man from the Bright-Sky Medicine Sect also would not give up this stone. But with the high price increase, plus there were still many pieces of stone left, he thought that if the other party continued to fight the price, he would have to let go of this one.

369,000,000 monster crystal coins!!

And it was exactly as he thought. As soon as he raised his bid, the other party immediately bid back. He had to give up on this stone; otherwise, he would probably lose money in vain.
