Seeing the smile on Qin Yang's lips, Mu Shuiyuan immediately understood what scheme Qin Yang was up to.

"Damn it, Granny, I bet this kid is going to drive up the price of the Ice Bear King's core again in a bit."

Mu Shuiyuan gritted her silver teeth, a touch of thin anger appearing on her pretty face.

Now, she even regretted slightly the initial decision to drive up the price of the Ice Spirit Flower alongside Qin Yang. Several times before, when she was bidding for Spirit Medicine, this guy intervened, making her pay an extra five or six thousand Violent Dragon Pills.

The elderly woman beside her had a slightly somber expression, glanced at Qin Yang, and said, "Miss, if the price is too high, it's better to temporarily give up. It's just a small third-rate Ancient Martial Sect. Once we leave Danfeng City, this old lady will take it from them."

"Hmm, alright, Granny."

Mu Shuiyuan mused for a moment, then nodded.

"This Ice Bear King's core starts at eight thousand Violent Dragon Pills, and each increment must not be less than one hundred Violent Dragon Pills. I declare the bidding starts!"

Nangong Hong glanced around the second-floor VIP pavilion at several major forces and smiled.

After Nangong Hong's words fell, there was a brief silence on the scene, and for a moment, no one spoke up to bid.

After all, such a massive amount almost equaled all that a regular third-rate Ancient Martial Sect could offer.

The Ice Bear King's core is best given to an Ice Demonic Beast, but among the Ancient Martial Sects present, few have Ice Demonic Beasts. Even if they do, the beast's strength must at least be at the Profound Tier, otherwise, consuming this Earth Tier Late Stage Ice Bear King's core could lead to an explosion and death.

Therefore, these numerous restrictions caused a temporary silence, making the auction hall quite quiet.

The person most eager to acquire it, Mu Shuiyuan, seemed to have anticipated this situation, but she did not speak first.

The silence at the scene made Nangong Hong on the auction stage frown slightly. The fact that the Ice Bear King's core could be one of the finale treasures speaks volumes about its preciousness. Unexpectedly, it led to a brief lull.

"Hehe, since no one is bidding, how about I throw a stone to attract jade? I bid ten thousand Violent Dragon Pills."

Qin Yang lightly tapped the chair with two fingers, smiled gently, and said.

"Alright, this young brother bids ten thousand Violent Dragon Pills. Is there a higher offer?"

Seeing that someone finally bid, Nangong Hong revealed a smile.

"This guy really did intervene."

Mu Shuiyuan's beautiful eyes cooled a bit, glanced at Qin Yang, then gently exhaled; arguing with this guy could really make her furious.

"This Ice Bear King's core is rare indeed. If any Ice Demonic Beast consumes this core, its power will greatly increase. This is a one-time opportunity, don't miss it lightly."

Nangong Hong addressed the crowd, recounting the Ice Bear King's core's worth, his gaze sweeping over the Celestial Pool Snow Leopard dangling from Mu Shuiyuan's dress, knowing that the people from the Hundred Beasts Valley were bound to make a move.

"Eleven thousand."

Mu Shuiyuan bit her silver teeth again, immediately quoting a price.

"Thirteen thousand."

As soon as her words fell, Qin Yang cheerfully interjected.

"Fifteen thousand."

Mu Shuiyuan's slender and long jade fingers clenched gently, her pretty face cold, glancing at Qin Yang, implicating that if he bid again, she would stop.

"The young lady from VIP Box No. 3 bids fifteen thousand Violent Dragon Pills. Is there a higher price?"

Nangong Hong said loudly, his gaze deliberately roving among the VIP box inhabitants, as only these second-tier Ancient Martial forces could afford such a high price, finally landing back on Qin Yang.

"Ten thousand..."

Qin Yang had just started saying "ten thousand" when a deep voice came from a VIP box.

"Eighteen thousand!"

Hearing this bid, Qin Yang looked up, his eyes landing on VIP Box No. 2, from which came the voice, specifically from someone from the Blood Eagle Sect.

Qin Yang shrugged, then stopped bidding; the Hundred Beasts Valley was not lacking strength, and he didn't want to push Mu Shuiyuan too hard. He was happy watching the spectacle unfold.

"Granny, it's surprising that Xue Wuchuan from the Blood Eagle Sect is also interested in the Ice Bear King's core."

Mu Shuiyuan's beautiful eyes idly glanced at the middle-aged man in the deep red robe, her delicate brows gently knit, speaking to the elderly woman beside her.

"Hmm, Miss, we should bid up to twenty thousand Violent Dragon Pills at most. If it doesn't work out, we'll have to give up."

The elderly woman beside Mu Shuiyuan mused for a while and said.

Although the Blood Eagle Sect's strength has significantly dwindled over the last year, a dead camel is still bigger than a horse. If they fail to win the Ice Bear King's core, grabbing it later wouldn't be realistic either, so if they don't get it at the auction, they likely have to let it go.

"I understand, Granny."

Mu Shuiyuan nodded, then immediately quoted a new figure: "Eighteen thousand eight hundred."

"Nineteen thousand."

Wearing a deep red robe, Xue Wuchuan said in a low voice.

"Nineteen thousand five hundred!"

Mu Shuiyuan bit her silver teeth again, raising the price by five hundred, bringing the Ice Bear King's core to an astounding nineteen thousand five hundred.

Xue Wuchuan's face darkened, about to speak, only to be stopped by the elder in blood-red clothes beside him.

"Wuchuan, let it go, don't forget the primary purpose of our trip here: to secure the Spirit Jade and the final climax item." The elder in blood-red clothes said in a grave tone.

Xue Wuchuan thought for a moment, then almost imperceptibly nodded. Currently, the Blood Eagle Sect's strength has waned significantly; otherwise, capturing all three of the finale items shouldn't be difficult at all.

"If no one bids higher, then I declare that the Ice Bear King's core goes to the young lady in VIP Box No. 3."

Nangong Hong loudly announced, quite satisfied with this price.

"Next, please welcome the second finale treasure."

As Nangong Hong's words fell, the white-garbed woman earlier took the Ice Bear King's core offstage, and four burly men carried up a silver stand, on which an object covered with a red cloth and considerably large was placed.

Upon seeing the object on the silver stand, Qin Yang's pupils shrank instantly, having an inkling in his heart.

The red cloth was lifted, revealing a crystal-clear jade stone, about half the size of a small bed, appearing in everyone's view, the jade stone entirely lustrous white, emanating the unique chilly aura of jade.

"Spirit Jade?!"

Excitement welled up in Qin Yang's eyes; he had seen this massive piece of Spirit Jade on the promotional flyer, but witnessing it firsthand still stirred quite a bit of excitement within him.

With such a large piece of Spirit Jade, when he cultivates a Spirit Field, cutting off a portion, grinding it into powder, and sprinkling it into the field's soil could accelerate the growth of Spirit Fruits and Spirit Grass seeds.

Another part could have an Array Rune inscribed on it and buried beneath a Spirit Gathering Array to enhance the array's absorption rate of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, fostering the Spirit Gathering Grass's growth.
