"Bright-Sky Medicine Sect would like to withdraw from this round of auctions!!!" Seeing the other party's bid to fight back, Zhong-Xi-Dang immediately withdrew because it was not worth it.

"Ah! Bright-Sky Medicine Sect withdraws. So, who's going to manipulate the price higher?"

"Who would dare drive the price up? If someone has done so and the Three Peaks Monastery Party won't bid more, doesn't that mean one must tear his wallet to spend money? It's three hundred million, not three hundred coins to pay!!!"

"Ha ha ha, that's right!"

"Would anyone give a higher price, sir? If there is no more, I'm going to count down for this auction?"

............?..............

"So, it is 369 million, the first time... 369 million, the second time... and 3... 3... 369 million, the third time! Congratulations to the Three Peaks Monastery Party for being the winner of this auction for 369,000,000 monster crystal coins!"

"Now two pieces have passed. We still have thirty-eight stones left together. After the other two pieces have been bid on, we'll bid in sets in the next round. Or, that is, all four elements in one round. And we'll do this alternately until the end!"

Huh...?

"Auctioning for a set?"

"Will the price not be too high? What about the people who only need one stone?"

"She said that she'll alternate between separate and collective auctions until they run out. Don't you hear!?"

"Oh, sorry, I forgot!"

"Then let's continue the auction, sir!" Xiao-Jiang immediately resumed bidding…

"Tsk! I can't believe they have more money for bids. Just the last two pieces together are already six hundred and nearly seven hundred million coins!?"

"Yes! I guess they don't have that much money!"

69,000,000 monster crystal coins!

87,000,000 monster crystal coins!

125,000,000 monster crystal coins!

199,000,000 monster crystal coins!

252,000,000 monster crystal coins!

After Xiao-Jiang started the auction, everyone furiously held up the price signs immediately, except for the main sects that had not raised their own auction signs because they wanted the others to join in for fun in this round and the next. After all, there were still several elemental spiritual stones left.

325,000,000 monster crystal coins!

Finally, the auction ended for 325,000,000 monster crystal coins. The winner of this round was still a member of the Three Peaks Monastery Party, as usual. Then the auction of the last elemental spiritual stone in this set began. It ended up costing 337,000,000 monster crystal coins, with the winner still being the Three Peaks Monastery Party as before.

After the end of the auction in the first round, the next round was a set auction. Of course, its price was higher than one piece at a time. And this kind of auction had both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage was that it was easy and quick to sell. The disadvantage was the price that would have been offered. That was because if there was cooperation to not fight the price, the price would be very low. But of course, to prevent such a thing from happening, its starting price was set quite high.

And the starting price for this set of elemental spirit stones was 600,000,000 monster crystal coins.

But no matter how high its starting price was, people were still scrambling to bid because elemental spiritual stones were not items that were easy to find. They were different from money that anyone could earn whenever they wanted. Therefore, the high price did not hinder their purchase at all. It also made them fight more fiercely than before.

As for the planner of all these, who stood out in the middle of the stage dignifiedly and venerable, beneath his calm face was a grin that was so wide that his mouth would tear apart. Not only would he get a lot of money, but he also made every one of the major clans and sects aware of the power of his clan.

This kind of action was to shoot two chameleons with one slingshot. Gosh! No, it was to kill two birds with one stone with little to no effort. But he had to prepare for the consequences that had to follow because this continent did not have only Blueland. But there were also stronger countries than Blueland. As well as having many talented people who were superior to him.

Two shichens had passed...

The auction of the elemental spiritual stones had finally come to its last period. Only the last set of four stones was left, and this last set had an extremely fierce bid.

1,325,000,000 monster crystal coins!

1,500,000,000 monster crystal coins!

1,525,000,000 monster crystal coins!

1,599,000,000 monster crystal coins!

1,650,000,000 monster crystal coins!

"1,650,000,000 monster crystal coins! I won't give it up. My Raging Sword Sect has to get it!"

"Tsk! Are you daydreaming? With that amount of money, your sect would never get it. We, the Office of the Royal Guardians, would like to offer a price of 1,675,000,000 monster crystal coins!"

Fatuous!!!

"Hey, hey! Why did you forget about us? Our Bright-Sky Medicine Sect would like to get it too. We offer an additional price of 1,690,000,000 monster crystal coins!"

1,700,000,000 monster crystal coins!

Huh...?

"Who's that bidding against the big sects and big parties?"

Suddenly, more bids sounded from a mysterious man in black robes sitting in the centre of the auctioneer in the common auction chair. The voice that bid against them was that of a man who did not look very old. To guess his age, he would definitely be no more than in his thirties.

"Who is that bastard? Dare to bid against us!?" an elder from the Raging Sword Sect said in a very displeased tone, staring at the mysterious man who offered more as if to eat his flesh.

"This guy's skills are extraordinary. Looks like his power level is not inferior to mine." Zheng-Fu also stared at the mysterious man as he surveyed the other party while that guy was hiding his identity. But even then, it could not escape Zheng-Fu's scrutiny.

"Is that kid able to check my energy level? No! Improbable. I've covered it up with an advanced secret technique. It's unlikely that the child will be able to check my energy level. Even an advanced Immortal stage cultivator found it difficult to verify my level.

I guess I think too much," the mysterious man thought to himself with a strange feeling because, at this moment, he could sense that he was being seriously examined by Zheng-Fu.

"Alright, is there anyone else giving more than that young man, sir? If not, then I'll start to countdown?"

..............?.............

Because of the high price of 1,700,000,000 monster crystal coins, everyone felt a little hesitant. When divided, each piece was worth 425,000,000 monster crystal coins, which was higher than in the previous rounds. However, the spiritual stones of this round were much larger than the previous ones as well. Therefore, this price seemed appropriate.

But that still caused quite a bit of embarrassment and hesitation for the major sects and big sects. The maximum amount of money they brought was only 1,700–1,750 million monster crystal coins. Of course, they might be able to continue to fight the price, but the journey back to their sects was dangerous and the distances were extremely long.

The remaining amount must be kept for the purchase of supplies and necessary belongings for the journey, even if there were less than a million monster crystal coins left.

"One… one… one thousand… phew!"

"If no one offers any further, let me countdown!?"

"Alright, sir, 1,700,000,000 monster crystal coins, the first time... 1,700,000,000 monster crystal coins, the second time... 1… 1… 1,700,000,000 monster crystal coins, the thir... thir... third time!!!"

Yay!!! Yay!!! Yay!!!

Fweet fweew!!! Fweet fweew!!!

The cheers of congratulations and cursing sounded at the same time when Xiao-Jiang announced the three countdowns since the auction had finally ended. The winner of this round was a mysterious man who appeared out of nowhere until the last second.

"Now, today's auction is over. I, Xiao-Jiang, the owner of this In-See Napa Auction House, would like to thank all of you very much for having the honour to come and bid with us. And I hope next time you all come to bid with us again!" Xiao-Jiang said with a broad smile and a seductive expression to make the young male bidders salivate for the finale.

Wow!!!

Yay! Yay! Yay!

"Of course, I'll definitely come again, Beautiful Miss Xiao!"

"I'll come as well. I'll come every time there is an auction!"

"Me too, I'll come too!!!"

"Tsk!!! These bastard men, whenever seeing a beautiful woman, like to show off!!!"

"That's right. Like to act and say things like that. You guys, on the other hand, ignore us... Even though we are such beautiful!!"

"Yes, yes, yes."

"Oh my... All you goddesses, ghosts, and nymphs! No one of you even looks at yourselves... One is short, one is black, and the other is as flat as a plank. You still have the audacity to criticize others!!!?"

"Yes, yes, yes! The audacity to insult others while failing to look at yourself!"

"Ya… ya… you guys! You don't know beautiful things!!!"

Ahem!

"Everyone, please stay calm. Before we part today, Young Master Zheng-Fu would like to discuss something with you all. But if anyone doesn't want to listen, you can go back. We didn't forbid you. Thank you, sir." Xiao-Jiang immediately coughed softly, announcing loudly to silence the noisy chatter, and then told them about Zheng-Fu's desire to talk with them.

Huh...?

"This isn't about us. Let's go back!"

Screech!!!

"That's right… It must be a matter of martial cultivators. We're merchants, not involved in any way. Let's go back!!"

Screech!!! Screech!!!

Of course, many people got up and left the auction room because they thought that what Zheng-Fu was going to say was not related to them being merchants or wealthy general people. They, therefore, chose to leave rather than stay and listen.

But many people were still waiting to listen because there were also people who liked to know about other people's matters as it was a form of entertainment. As for the clans or sects of martial arts cultivators and large parties, everyone was waiting, including the mysterious man. He was also very interested in Zheng-Fu, so he chose to stay and wait to hear what Zheng-Fu had to say.

Five minutes had passed. After all the people who did not want to listen went out, only those who wanted to listen were in the auction hall.

Ahem!!!

"First of all, I have to apologize to everyone for asking you to stay and listen to me, and thank you all for listening as well," Zheng-Fu said in a low voice but lurked with formidable energy.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. We don't have much time!!!" an elder from the Raging Sword Sect spoke first, with a hasty expression.

"That's right, Young Master Tian-Tang Zheng-Fu... What does Young Master want to say to us?" And was followed by the Office of the Royal Guardians before the other sects asked curiously and with suspicion as well.

"What I want to say to all of you is not a big deal. I just want to talk about people from the Cult of the Savage Evil."

The Cult of the Savage Evil!!?

As soon as Zheng-Fu spoke the words "the Cult of the Savage Evil," the faces of everyone in the auction hall changed. Many people were well aware of the story of this cult. But some people did not know much. This caused everyone to have a lot of doubts about what Zheng-Fu wanted to say.
