"… 20,000,000 Purple Heaven Crystals!"

Huh!?!

But before Lei-Shu could offer once more, the sound of someone making an offer interrupted him. The price was raised by five million more than before. The person who offered this additional price was Zheng-Fu. He thought that this price of twenty million would definitely win everyone over.

"That kid again?"

"He's a Sky Thunder-Heavenly Star Clan guy, isn't he? Why does he separate and sit alone like that? How much did he bid just now?"

"That kid is really brave for daring to bid against Master Lei-Shu!"

"Even though I don't know who the kid is, I admire his courage!"

"Is that Brother Zheng-Fu? Does he dare to auction an item at such a high price? Actually, it's because he already has so much money that he didn't even think of borrowing it from us. Elder Sister, do you think... Huh, Elder Sister, what's wrong with you? Why is your face red like that!?" As Ye-Liu was praising Zheng-Fu, he turned to ask his elder sister's opinion. However, what he saw was Qing-Qi's face visibly flushed, and at this moment, she was sitting trembling.

"I'm fine! I'm just feeling sick!" Qing-Qi blushed and shivered because she had not expected Zheng-Fu to have that much money. She had thought Zheng-Fu would definitely borrow some money from her. But who would have thought that Zheng-Fu would have so much more money than she imagined? How could she not feel very embarrassed?

"20,000,000 Purple Heaven Crystals from that Young Master. Is there anyone who will offer more than this?" The middle-aged man in the middle of the arena did not care who the bidder was. What mattered to him was the money from the auction, so he immediately announced the price offered by Zheng-Fu.

Zheng-Fu's high offer made the two middle-aged men who were competing frown. However, Lei-Shu reacted more strongly than Chou-Bing because he was an indomitable person. The fact that Zheng-Fu was someone with an unknown background made him feel he could not back down.

"Who is that crazy kid? Where did he come from? Didn't he know that the elders were auctioning?" Lei-Shu said with displeasure, acting as if he would deal with Zheng-Fu.

"Is that the outer disciple of the main academy?" Bei-Chuan suddenly turned around and saw that the young man bidding was the outer disciple he had met at the Treatise Tower Manor the last time, and also the person he was looking for.

"You know him, Bei-Chuan?" Lei-Shu immediately turned to Bei-Chuan when he saw that Bei-Chuan acted like he knew Zheng-Fu.

"I'm not familiar with him. I've only met him once at the academy. And he's also the person I'm looking for right now!" Bei-Chuan immediately replied to the Second Elder.

"Second Uncle, let me deal with that kid. Just an ant—I only have to move my hand once, and it's dead!" The young man sitting next to Bei-Chuan spoke with a cold expression, releasing psychic killing intent. To him, Zheng-Fu was insignificant.

"No! There are too many people here. Also, the auction has rules; we can't break them. Otherwise, we won't be allowed to join the auction!" Although Lei-Shu felt dissatisfied, he could not do anything because it was against the rules to fight here. The more people wanted to bid on the auction, the stricter the rules became.

"Then, after the auction is over, I can order him to hand over the cauldron to us. If he refuses, I will kill him and take the cauldron!" The cold-faced young man also showed contempt as he declared he would deal with Zheng-Fu after the auction.

"Very good! But you must not make it a big deal because if this matter becomes known to others, our clan will lose its reputation. All right, I won't bid anymore. I'll let that kid and Chou-Bing have a bidding match. If that kid wins the cauldron, it's ours. But if Chou-Bing wins, we lose!" Lei-Shu slowly suppressed his emotions and began to regain his composure.

Although Zheng-Fu did not hear what the three of them said, he could feel the psychic killing intent filled with dissatisfaction directed at him. He also clearly saw Bei-Chuan's face and remembered Jiang-Long's warning that Bei-Chuan wanted him.

At the Heavenly Forest Force's seats...

"Elder Chou-Bing, are we going to bid more, sir?" A young man sitting beside Chou-Bing asked.

"No! This is already the highest price. If we increase the price even higher, that kid will probably raise it again. Well, its price could go several million crystals higher, but I feel sorry for that kid. Because if he wins the auction this time, he will likely face a disaster!" Chou-Bing refused to bid further since the price had reached the highest point he could accept. Although the cauldron was valuable, there was no guarantee it would improve his medicine-concocting skills, so he thought it better to let it go.

"Yes, sir, Master Elder!"

"20,000,000 Purple Heaven Crystals! Anyone else would like to offer a higher price? If not, I'll close the auction for this round…"

Bang!!!

"Let's end the auction of this item. The winner is that Young Master!" The middle-aged man closed the auction for this item because many other items were waiting to be auctioned.

"That kid actually won the auction. Like this, I think something must happen to him!"

"Of course, didn't you see the expression of the Second Elder of the Heavenly Floating Cloud Tiger Clan?"

"Yes! But it seems like the Heavenly Forest Force doesn't think much of it. Or do they not need a ten-thousand-year-old cauldron?"

"In this matter, we have no right to know. If you want to know, then go ask them yourself. Why ask me!?"

After the auction was over, the middle-aged man who had previously brought the auctioned item to Zheng-Fu appeared again and handed a dimensional ring to Zheng-Fu. Zheng-Fu then transferred the cauldron inside that dimensional ring to his own dimensional ring and transferred 20,000,000 lumps of low-level Purple Heaven Crystals in return.

"Thank you, Young Master, for using our service!" When the middle-aged man checked the dimensional ring and confirmed that he had received the full number of crystals, he politely thanked Zheng-Fu once more before leaving.

"All right, everyone. Next will be the third auction item. It's a tenth-level divine pill, the 'Sacred World Divine Pill,' that will greatly increase the energy level of the cultivator. By consuming it, a cultivator below the initial Heavenly Golden Core stage will rise to become an advanced Heavenly Star stage cultivator. The formula for creating this kind of divine pill has been lost to the world for more than ten thousand years. But today, we have discovered this kind of pill again."

The next item brought up for auction was the Sacred World Divine Pill. It was a divine pill that could help a cultivator greatly increase their level, especially those below the Deity Soul stage. Its effectiveness and results depended on the energy level of the user. However, the Sacred World Divine Pill was a single pill, possibly the last of its kind in the world, as the formula for concocting it had been lost for tens of thousands of years. Only high-stage apothecaries could study and attempt to recreate it.

Of course, Master Lei-Shu and Master Chou-Bing would definitely not stay idle. Even though the Heavenly Weapon was much more interesting, it could not compare to this tenth-level pill. Fame and money would flow to them incessantly if either of them could study and recreate it. They would undoubtedly give their all in this round of the auction.

"For this Sacred World Divine Pill, we will start the auction price at 5,000,000 Purple Heaven Crystals! Please add 500,000 crystals per bid!"

30,000,000 Purple Heaven Crystals!

Huh?

"Thirty... thirty... thirty million? Who! Who bid!?"

"That... that young man again! He bid again!"

"Who is he, and where did he come from? He has already paid out over fifty million crystals!"

"If so, his background must be extraordinary. Or does he belong to some sectmasters?"

"How is it possible? There's no way any sectmaster would participate in an auction like this. It's even more impossible that they would be interested in something as normal as this. But if it's the elders within the academy, it may be possible!"

When everyone saw that the person who had placed the bid was Zheng-Fu, loud noises and a lot of chatter erupted.

Bang!

"Damn it! Who the hell is this kid? He dares to beat me to the punch twice in a row! I guess I'll have to show him my powers a little bit!" Lei-Shu went crazy when he saw that Zheng-Fu offered thirty million right off the bat. He had already thought he would be the first to offer, but he was hesitating about how much to bid. Before he could make his move, Zheng-Fu shouted his bid, leaving Lei-Shu furious and wanting to kill him.

"Come on, Lei-Shu! If you can't fight, then give up. But I'll never give up, I'd like to raise the price to 35,000,000 Purple Heaven Crystals!" Chou-Bing interrupted after hearing Lei-Shu's words. He knew Lei-Shu was boiling over, so he taunted him further, provoking him with satisfaction. Then he offered a higher bid.

Tch!

"You, Chou-Bing, you sly snake! Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Huh! Huh! I'll let you compete with that kid to the fullest. Then we'll see if the one who laughs last laughs loudest!" Instead of getting more agitated, Lei-Shu surprisingly calmed down. However, Lei-Shu's calmness was not due to admitting defeat; it was because he already had a plan in mind.
