As time went by, more and more people came to the auction.

It was quite quiet before, but now it is a bit noisy.

When there are a lot of people, all kinds of things are likely to happen, such as... conflicts.

In a short period of time, there have been several waves of conflicts, and some people even resorted to violence.

But the conflict was soon suppressed.

The rules of the Longteng Auction do not allow violence.

What's more, there are many law enforcement officers on the scene today.

They also can't just sit there and watch and see too much trouble happen.

"There is no dark energy...it seems that the weakest ones are in the middle and late stages of transformation energy."

In the box on the second floor, Xiao Chen released his spiritual awareness, sensing everything downstairs.

In order to avoid being discovered, his spiritual sense was very weak, and he would immediately move away if he felt any pressure from others.

"Super strong men like Zhao Cangqiong didn't come... No, that's not right..."

Xiao Chen's consciousness extended outward, and he suddenly felt a vague pressure spreading from afar.

It was very faint. If he hadn't practiced the 'Chaos Technique' and his soul power was far beyond his realm, he would definitely not have been able to detect it.

"There are super strong people here, but they are hiding in the dark... Yes, since they suspect the Holy Heaven Sect, they must be worried that the Holy Heaven Sect will come to the auction to cause trouble, so they can't help but make preparations."

Xiao Chen had a guess and laughed secretly. Was he just scaring himself?

In order to avoid being discovered, he stopped investigating and withdrew his spiritual sense.

"That young man in white robe seems to be quite strong."

Zhao Yuanji looked down with fighting spirit in his eyes.

"Wait and ask where you are from, so we can have a sparring match."

"You are probably no match for him."

Zhao Ritian shook his head.

"Leave out the 'should'."

Xiao Chen looked at Zhao Yuanji and added.

“…”

Zhao Yuanji was speechless. Are you so sure?

"A strong man is coming."

Suddenly, Xiao Chen's eyes fell on one place.

Everyone stopped talking and looked over. Anyone that Xiao Chen called a 'strong man' must be very strong.

I saw a few people appear on the auction table below.

The leader was tall and slender, and looked quite elegant.

"who is he?"

Xiao Chen noticed that Manager Chen was standing behind him.

"Li Xiunian, the person in charge of Longteng Chamber of Commerce here..."

Zhao Yuanji introduced.

"I heard that he is going to leave Sifang City. The next step should be to enter the core position of Longteng Chamber of Commerce."

"Oh? In other words, one of the big bosses of the Longteng Chamber of Commerce?"

Xiao Chen's eyes flashed.

“I guess so.”

Zhao Yuanji nodded.

"Brother Chen, let's...let's keep a low profile."

Wang Pingbei looked at Xiao Chen, fearing that he would go up and rob Li Xiunian.

“I’ve always kept a low profile.”

Xiao Chen glanced at Wang Pingbei and knew what he meant.

However, Zhao Ritian and the others were a little confused. What was going on?

Low profile?

Could it be that Xiao Chen knew Li Xiunian?

It shouldn't be.

Or does Xiao Chen know a big shot in the Longteng Chamber of Commerce who is much more powerful than Li Xiunian?

Li Xiunian, who was standing on the auction stage, naturally also saw Xiao Chen and others on the second floor.

Manager Chen had already told him, and he knew everything.

He always treats people with mysterious and powerful origins with the intention of "making friends".

How can you hold a high position if you can't be good at dealing with people?

Especially, in a place like the Chamber of Commerce.

Li Xiunian smiled and nodded, then looked at Zhao Yuanji and... Zhao Ritian.

This young man is Zhao Cangqiong's younger brother?

Xiao Chen nodded in response. His first impression of Li Xiunian was not bad... In the mother world, he was definitely a handsome middle-aged uncle.

Men may not feel anything for it, but girls...all like this.

Handsome but not greasy, and most importantly... rich.

Li Xiunian is not only handsome and rich, but also very powerful.

With the appearance of Li Xiunian, the originally noisy scene gradually quieted down.

All eyes fell on Li Xiunian.

Some people know him, some don’t, but even if they don’t, they can feel his status and power.

"Welcome everyone to the Longteng Auction..."

Li Xiunian smiled and said a few polite words.

"I believe everyone has been looking forward to today's auction for a long time...I am the same."

A few minutes later, Li Xiunian, along with Manager Chen and others, walked down from the auction stage.

An old man appeared on the auction table.

He is the auctioneer, and he is in charge of today's auction.

What Xiao Chen didn't expect was that after Li Xiunian stepped down from the auction table, he walked towards the second floor.

The people on the first floor were also a little surprised, and even more curious about Xiao Chen's identity.

"Gongsun, this guy can't be really of great origin, right? Otherwise, why would Li Xiunian go up there?"

A young man whispered.

Li Xiunian is definitely one of the big shots in Sifang City.

Even they had to be polite to such an important figure, if not respectful.

Gongsun Liang's face was gloomy: "Great background? No matter how great the background is, can it be as great as Shanhai Tower?"

"Mr. Liang is right."

The lackey immediately started to flatter him.

"When Young Master Liang punishes someone, he never considers their background... No matter how great their background is, it is not as great as Young Master Liang's."

“…”

Several young masters couldn't stand the flattery anymore.

What are you bragging about?

Do you really think Gongsun Liang is the young master of Shanhai Tower?

However, they grumbled in their hearts but did not dare to show it on their faces.

"President Li."

Zhao Yuanji was also a little surprised that Li Xiunian came up.

Logically speaking, Li Xiunian would only come up to greet him personally when someone like his grandfather arrived.

Now... he is here, and Li Xiunian is coming up too?

Isn't this too much of a courtesy?

Could it be that I, Xiao Ji, am also a big shot?

For a moment, Zhao Yuanji felt a little elated.

"Um."

Li Xiunian smiled and nodded.

"I just came back from the City Lord's Mansion..."

"Ah? Oh, my grandpa and the others won't come in the morning?"

Zhao Yuanji asked hurriedly.

"I guess he won't come."

After Li Xiunian finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Ritian.

"I heard City Lord Zhao mention it before, and today I finally got to see it."

"Haha, my third brother definitely didn't say anything good about me."

Zhao Ritian smiled and was quite polite.

After a few pleasantries, Li Xiunian's gaze fell on Xiao Chen.

"Mr. Chen, welcome to Sifang City..."

"Meet President Li."

Xiao Chen bowed.

“Haha, Young Master Chen, you’re too polite… Although I’ve never heard of Sanjie Mountain, it must be extraordinary to be able to cultivate a genius like Young Master Chen.”

Li Xiunian was not at all arrogant and chatted with Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen responded calmly with a smile on his face, neither humble nor arrogant.

"You didn't come up here for me?"

Looking at Li Xiunian chatting and laughing with Xiao Chen, Zhao Ritian and Zhao Yuanji both had this thought in their minds.

"I have a lot of things to do, so I'll go do them first. We'll talk after the auction is over."

A few minutes later, Li Xiunian smiled.

"good."

Xiao Chen nodded and watched Li Xiunian leave.

Manager Chen also had a smile on his face. He gestured to Xiao Chen and followed Li Xiunian downstairs.

Xiao Chen seemed to be thinking about something. Manager Chen should have played a significant role in Li Xiunian's coming up.

"Brother Chen, could it be that...he suspects something?"

Wang Pingbei leaned close to Xiao Chen's ear and said worriedly.

He really couldn't understand why Li Xiunian came up.

Just because they were in the gabled room?

It's impossible.

There might be a possibility for the Tian and Di brands.

Since Manager Chen has a quota, Li Xiunian won’t pay much attention to it.

"Not really. There are many young experts here. It's impossible for them to only focus on us..."

Xiao Chen shook his head.

"Don't think too much, it was all done by the Holy Heaven Sect."

"Ah? Yes, they were all done by the Holy Heaven Sect."

Wang Pingbei calmed down immediately after thinking about it.

"Brother Chen, do you have any items you want to auction?"

Zhao Ritian asked casually.

"Haha, not sure yet, just joining in the fun."

Xiao Chen smiled and drank a sip of tea.

"I hope there will be something that interests me... Alas, the materials for refining equipment are sometimes too difficult to obtain."

Zhao Ritian sighed.

"It's hard to be a weapon refiner."

“…”

Zhao Yuanji looked at Zhao Ritian and asked, "Are you showing off?"

Who doesn't know that weapon refiners have a high status?

But thinking about it again, those useless things refined by Zhao Ritian, I feel that...it's not difficult for you to get by, and you shouldn't do that.

While they were talking, the auction began.

The scene fell silent, with almost everyone staring at the auction table.

The first lot will not be too expensive, but not too cheap either.

"First lot."

The old man at the auction table didn't say much. After a few simple words, he asked someone to bring up the first item.

It is a big stone, weighing at least two or three hundred kilograms.

The stone is white and quite round.

"What the hell is this?"

"Spirit Stone? Impossible."

"It should be some special stone."

“…”

When everyone started discussing it, most of them didn't know each other.

"Antarctic jade."

Zhao Ritian on the second floor, however, eyes lit up.

"Antarctic jade? What is that?"

Xiao Chen and his friends asked curiously.

Without waiting for Zhao Ritian to explain, he listened to the old man's introduction.

"This stone is called Antarctic Jade. It comes from the southernmost land. It is icy cold but does not hurt people. The most amazing thing is that it can keep you warm in winter..."

“Warm in winter and cool in summer?”

Xiao Chen understood.

"Well, Antarctic jade is warm in the winter and cool in the summer."

Zhao Ritian nodded.

"I didn't expect that Longteng Chamber of Commerce actually has Antarctic jade..."

"Brother Zhao is interested?"

Seeing this, Xiao Chen asked.

"Yes, I want to take it."

Zhao Ritian grinned.

"Didn't my chair explode? I plan to use Antarctic jade to refine another one... Just think about it, it will keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer."

“…”

Xiao Chen was speechless. What the hell, used to make a toilet?

But you know what, it’s really suitable for keeping warm in winter and cool in summer, and your butt won’t be frozen!

"Starting price: three hundred spirit stones."

The old man has already stated the starting price.

"Each increase in price must not be less than fifty spirit stones."

"Three hundred and five."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, someone made an offer.

"Four hundred."

"Four hundred and five."

"five hundred."

In the blink of an eye, the price of Antarctic jade reached five hundred, which could be considered a "good start".

"Brother Zhao, why don't you make an offer?"

Xiao Chen asked.

"Don't you want to?"

"No hurry, let them report first."

Zhao Ritian shook his head.

"Seven hundred. Is there any higher?"

Soon, the price reached seven hundred, the old man asked.

The scene was quiet and no one made any more bids.

Just as the person who offered seven hundred smiled, Zhao Ritian spoke lightly.

"one thousand!"
