"Please be patient, everyone. The next item will be here shortly," the auctioneer said with a slight smile, unhurriedly.

Amidst the eager anticipation of the crowd, the next item was finally brought out, but it was covered with red gauze, making it impossible to discern what was inside.

"What kind of treasure is this? Why can't we see it? It's all so mysterious," many spectators in the audience said, puzzled.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please be patient. As the saying goes, haste makes waste. Let me explain first," the auctioneer said calmly.

He then began to explain the origin of this treasure.

"This is a large cauldron that can change size at will. Its current shape is only its most original form; it can be expanded or shrunk at will. This cauldron is a magical artifact; the higher a person's cultivation level, the more power they can unleash its full potential. Moreover, this cauldron is extremely hard, possessing an indestructible body. Legend has it that it was left behind in the mortal world during the ancient war. It is a rare and unique item, the only one of its kind. This is a treasure from the ancient times. If you are interested, don't miss it!" The auctioneer explained eloquently and fluently.

"Stop talking nonsense. You've been talking for so long, but we haven't even seen the actual product. Isn't that just rubbish? Hurry up and show us what it is!" Many onlookers began to urge impatiently.

Urged on by the crowd, the auctioneer slowly tore off the red gauze, revealing its true appearance little by little.

"Wow, as expected of an ancient divine object, it looks different. It flashes and emits a dazzling light."

"It looks different. It's covered with golden ancient characters, like little tadpoles, which I can't understand at all."

"To be fortunate enough to encounter a divine object from the ancient times is truly an extraordinary blessing, and it is extremely rare."

…………

All the onlookers present started discussing it animatedly, creating a very lively scene.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let me add something. This cauldron can not only be used as a magic tool, but also for refining pills and making a fire when you have nothing to do. It's very practical. Those who like it should not miss it. Alright, bidding can now begin." The auctioneer smiled and continued to explain.

As soon as he finished speaking, people started bidding.

"I'll offer 100,000 top-grade spirit stones!"

"I'll offer 300,000 top-grade spirit stones!!"

"I'll offer 600,000 top-grade spirit stones!"

…………

"I'll offer one million top-grade spirit stones!"

"I'll offer two million top-grade spirit stones!"

"I'll offer three million top-grade spirit stones!"

"I'll offer five million top-grade spirit stones!"

"I'll offer eight million top-grade spirit stones!"

The crowd was scrambling fiercely, but Gu Changqing remained calm and composed, as if it had nothing to do with him.

To be honest, he wasn't interested in this large cauldron. His system space was filled with countless treasures, and this cauldron didn't catch his eye.

"Husband, what do you think of this cauldron? Do you want it?" Jiang Qingcheng asked with a slight smile.

"I think it's alright, do you want it?" Gu Changqing said casually with a faint smile.

"No, I was just asking casually," Jiang Qingcheng said gently.

"But I think this cauldron is pretty good, though my budget isn't enough, otherwise I'd like to give it a try!" Jiang Chen seemed very interested, but unfortunately, he didn't have enough budget, so he had to give up.

The reason he didn't have enough budget was because the wedding required a lot of spirit stones, and he didn't dare to spend them recklessly for fear of not having enough. If it weren't for this, he would have done whatever he wanted long ago.

Actually, he had considered borrowing some spirit stones from his sister and brother-in-law to bid for the large cauldron, but he didn't think it was appropriate, so he gave up the idea.

"If you like it, how about I take a picture and give it to you? I don't think I've given you anything yet, so consider it a wedding gift!" Gu Changqing said with a slight smile, without hesitation.

"This... I'm afraid it's not a good idea, brother-in-law. It would cost a lot of spirit stones to acquire this item," Jiang Chen said with a smile, though he seemed a little uncertain.

"What your brother-in-law has in abundance is spirit stones. Today I'm going to make it clear that you can bid on anything you like, and I'll pay for it. Consider it a wedding gift from your sister and me." Gu Changqing chuckled and said very readily.

"Sister...brother-in-law..., are you telling the truth? You're not lying to me, are you?" Jiang Chen was shocked, his mouth was tied in knots, and he could hardly speak. He asked again in great surprise.

"When has your brother-in-law ever lied to you? Since he's said so, what are you still unsure about? Just take pictures of whatever you like," Jiang Qingcheng smiled helplessly, kindly reminding Jiang Chen.

"Thank you so much, brother-in-law! You're so good to me, even better than my sister! I'm so happy and lucky! I love you to death, brother-in-law!" Jiang Chen said excitedly, babbling incoherently.

Just then, the auctioneer announced, "Is there anyone else bidding ten million spirit stones? If not, the prize belongs to this spectator."

"Ten million once!"

"Ten million twice!"

"Ten million three hundred million...!"

"Wait a minute, I'll bid eleven million spirit stones." Jiang Chen interrupted the auctioneer, smiled slightly, and said confidently.

Everyone in the audience was extremely surprised, never expecting such a dramatic scene to unfold at this moment; it was truly thrilling.

"Young man, this isn't a game, it's not just talk. It requires a lot of spirit stones. I see you're not very old, you probably don't have that many, so don't cause any trouble. This cauldron is rightfully mine." The middle-aged man in the black robe said disdainfully, believing that the young man in front of him was just causing trouble.

"You can't judge a book by its cover, and you can't measure the sea with a bucket. How do you know I don't have the ability? I, Jiang Chen, am not a three-year-old child. Of course, I know the rules of the auction house. If you don't believe me, come and compete. We'll see the result in a moment." Jiang Chen smiled instead of getting angry and said very calmly, showing a bit of Gu Changqing's temperament.

"I refuse to believe you're stronger than me. I'll offer twelve million spirit stones," the middle-aged man in black sneered, his face full of disdain.

"I'll offer fifteen million!" Jiang Chen smiled slightly and said directly.

"I'll offer sixteen million!" the middle-aged man in black shouted, not to be outdone, though he seemed to be in some pain.

The reason he felt the pinch was because he felt that this thing would eventually belong to him. He could have gotten it for eleven million spirit stones, but this unexpected troublemaker ruined it. He would definitely have to pay a lot more spirit stones. Just thinking about it made him feel like a sucker. It would be a lie to say that he didn't feel the pinch.

"I'll offer eighteen million!" Jiang Chen smiled slightly and continued.

The man in black frowned, caught in a dilemma. The price was outrageously high, and he was starting to not want it anymore, but it wouldn't look good if he refused.

So, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll offer nineteen million spirit stones!"

"I'll offer twenty million!" Jiang Chen smiled slightly and said without hesitation.

He taunted the man in black, as if to say, "Go ahead and do it if you dare."

The man in black's momentum waned considerably. He was now powerless even if he wanted to. His budget was running low, and if he spent it all, he didn't know if he would even have enough for the trip home.
