"This is a swordsmanship manual, called 'Clear Wind and Bright Moon Swordsmanship'. Its tier is Earth Level Low. The sword shadows dance, as elegant and refined as the clear wind and bright moon. The starting price is three hundred pieces of Violent Dragon Pills, with each bid no less than ten pieces. Now the auction begins."

Nangong Hong glanced at the crowd below and spoke.

"It's actually an Earth Tier sword manual. This is quite a rare treasure. I must buy it."

"I bid three hundred and fifty pieces."

"Three hundred and eighty pieces..."

"..."

After Nangong Hong's words fell, the bidding sounds from the crowd emerged. However, the starting price of three hundred pieces of Violent Dragon Pills was already quite high, so the competitors were mostly some powerful third-rate Ancient Martial Arts forces and a few Loose Cultivators.

"Qin Yang, can you get this swordsmanship manual? Our Celestial Sword Pavilion mainly cultivates sword skills, but our foundation is weak. Only the Hundred-step Flying Sword is commendable."

Bi Luoyue hesitated for a moment, her beautiful eyes turned to Qin Yang beside her, and she asked.

"Hmm, don't worry, I'm also the Honorary Pavilion Master of the Celestial Sword Pavilion."

Qin Yang nodded, saying that he would certainly do things beneficial for the Sect's development.

Now that the Ice Spirit Flower was in hand, all that was left was to bid on the Spirit Jade. If there were any other enticing items, he would also bid on them.

"One thousand pieces."

Qin Yang raised his number card, directly increasing the price that had just surged to five hundred pieces of Violent Dragon Pills to one thousand pieces.

Hearing the bid of one thousand pieces, the crowd turned and looked back, seeing that it was Qin Yang.

"Damn, this wealthy youth has made a move again."

"He's got money, already dropped a thousand pieces..."

"..."

Everyone showed various expressions, and for a moment, no one bid further.

Finally, this Earth Level Low martial skill manual 'Clear Wind and Bright Moon Swordsmanship' was taken by Qin Yang for a price of one thousand pieces of Violent Dragon Pills.

"Star Meteorite Iron, Snowflake Palm Technique, Celestial Heart Grass, Flood Dragon Rope..."

As the auction progressed, more and more good items appeared, and the prices soared. Just the starting price had already broken through the threshold of one thousand Violent Dragon Pills.

At this moment, on the auction stage, a woman in a white dress held a short, fire-red bamboo in her jade-like hand. The bamboo wasn't long, about one foot, akin to a short sword's length. The bamboo body emitted strands of crystal-clear and gentle firelight.

"Next up is this auction item, called Fire Profound Bamboo, which was collected near a Fire Secret Realm. Ancient Martial Artists with fire attributes, if they obtain this Fire Profound Bamboo, can increase their combat power by at least thirty percent. The starting price is one thousand three hundred pieces of Violent Dragon Pills, with each bid no less than fifty pieces. The auction begins!"

Nangong Hong announced.

"One thousand five hundred pieces."

"I bid one thousand six hundred pieces..."

"..."

The auction was already halfway through, and among those seated in the auction hall, only about ten sects and families had such substantial capital.

And at this time, the authorities sitting in the VIP pavilion on the second floor also began to make their moves.

"Zilan, you didn't bring a suitable weapon with you when you came out, right? I'll bid on this Fire Profound Bamboo for you."

Qin Yang's gaze focused, glancing at the Fire Profound Bamboo, then turned to Zilan and said.

He could sense the abundant fire element within the Fire Profound Bamboo. If it grew for several hundred or even thousands of years, it might develop a trace of spirituality, becoming a Spiritual Treasure that Cultivators could use.

"Hee hee, you're so good to me, Qin Yang, but there's no need. The final price for this Fire Profound Bamboo might not be cheap. It's my fault for not bringing enough Elixirs when I ran out."

A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Zilan's lips, then she shook her head and said.

"Don't forget, after converting the small Primordial Spirit Pills to Violent Dragon Pills, I have more than forty thousand pieces."

Qin Yang said with a laugh, and then joined the bidding for the Fire Profound Bamboo.

The price of the Fire Profound Bamboo steadily climbed, quickly reaching three thousand pieces, but after three thousand pieces, fewer people continued bidding.

Ultimately, this Fire Profound Bamboo was auctioned off by Qin Yang for the price of four thousand pieces of Violent Dragon Pills.

"Dragon Beard Grass, Golden Silkworm Armor, Longevity Fruit..."

The auction items that followed were even more precious, with starting prices rising from over one thousand pieces of Violent Dragon Pills to two thousand, three thousand, and even an astonishing four thousand pieces.

The auction venue had almost become a battleground for the second-rate forces in the VIP pavilion, with very few Ancient Martial Artists seated in the auction hall making any bids. After all, not everyone could easily come up with thousands of pieces of Violent Dragon Pills.

Among the forces Qin Yang knew, the Ximen Clan's Ximen Feihua generously purchased some Heart Methods and Martial Skills, as these could become part of the family's heritage and be passed down.

Mu Shuiyuan from Hundred Beasts Valley bid on some precious Spirit Herbs and Spirit Fruit, nine times out of ten to feed some top-level Demon Beasts in the valley.

During this process, Qin Yang also deliberately inflated the prices a few times to compensate for the nearly tenfold price Mu Shuiyuan had paid for the Ice Spirit Flower, giving it back to her in double.

"Damn, this bastard."

Mu Shuiyuan gritted her silver teeth lightly, her beautiful eyes glaring at Qin Yang several times with anger.

The Blood Eagle Sect and the Celestial Dragon Sect, these two top-tier forces, remained calm. During this period, the Blood Eagle Sect only made a move once, purchasing a Blood Bone Sword for a high price of seven thousand pieces of Violent Dragon Pills, while the Celestial Dragon Sect did not make any bids and just watched the others' bidding war.

However, Qin Yang could sense that these two top-tier forces seemed to be waiting for something.

"Everyone, next, we will auction off the final three highlight items of this auction. May I present the first highlight treasure."

Nangong Hong said with a smile to everyone, making it clear that he was quite confident about these three highlight treasures.

As he finished speaking, a woman in a white dress walked onto the auction stage carrying a Jade Disc with a red cloth covering it.

"Please behold the first highlight item."

Nangong Hong smiled and then uncovered the red cloth.

On the Jade Disc, an icy and translucent rhombus-shaped Crystal Core appeared in everyone's view.

The Crystal Core was about the size of a baby's fist, ice-white and flawless, constantly emitting a chilling aura, coating the surface of the Jade Disc with a thin layer of white frost.

"This is a Crystal Core of an Ice Bear King. In its life, the Ice Bear King's power was equivalent to that of a Late Stage Earth Tier human expert, slain by a Celestial Tier master. It is extremely precious."

Nangong Hong introduced it with a smile.

"Miss, I did not expect that this auction would have a Demon Beast Crystal Core for auction, and it's of the ice element, perfectly suitable for the Celestial Pool Snow Leopard."

In VIP room number three, an elderly woman in a moon white robe said to Mu Shuiyuan.

"Mm."

Mu Shuiyuan's beautiful eyes sharpened as she nodded, a hint of delight emerged on her serene and pretty face.

If her Celestial Pool Snow Leopard could consume this Ice Bear King's Crystal Core, breaking through to the Late Stage Profound Tier would be no problem at all, and within three months, it was hopeful to advance to Earth Tier.

However, just as she set her mind on acquiring this Crystal Core, Mu Shuiyuan noticed the teasing smile on Qin Yang's lips.
