"Hmph! Nine hundred thousand taels." Nangong Ziyan suddenly stood up, looking as if Baili Yuechan had robbed her.
"Nine hundred thousand taels." At this moment, a loud commotion began to rise from the crowd.
Now, even Tian Haoze looked at Nangong Ziyan with some confusion.
Bei Ming Haotian sat there calmly, and now he completely understood what Yan'er meant.
"Nine hundred thousand taels?" Baili Yuechan raised her eyebrows. Is it really worth spending nine hundred thousand taels to buy a Heavenly Extreme Pill Furnace Flame?
"Sister Chan, the Alchemy Furnace Flame has a very beautiful legend, and it is named after this legend. It has great commemorative value, and it is small and exquisite. If it is snatched away by the people of the South Sea Glazed Palace, then..."
Baili Jun'ao didn't finish his sentence; he knew Baili Yuechan understood his meaning.
Upon hearing this, Baili Yuechan glanced lightly at Baili Jun'ao. Indeed, if they lost to a mere South Sea Glazed Palace at this small auction, wouldn't it be a disgrace to their Qihe Dynasty? With Baili Jun'ao's encouragement, Baili Yuechan made up her mind. For the mighty Qihe Dynasty, a mere one million taels of silver was nothing. In this way, she could not only bring glory to the Qihe Dynasty but also hold her head high in front of Beiming Haotian. Her status as Baili Yuechan was unparalleled among all women in the world.
"One million taels," Baili Yuechan shouted again without hesitation.
Nangong Ziyan smiled triumphantly; this was exactly the result she wanted.
Bei Ming Haotian looked at Nangong Ziyan tenderly, as long as she was happy, he would let her do whatever she wanted.
"One million taels." Tian Haoze's lips twitched involuntarily. Yan'er's move had made their Cloud Mist Palace quite a profit.
Now, no one was surprised anymore. Many people understood that the one million taels was a done deal.
“One million taels per time.” Gao Lang narrowed his eyes. If he still couldn’t see through the trick at this point, then he wouldn’t be qualified to be the president of the Cloud Mist Palace.
The entire room fell silent; no one uttered a sound.
"One million taels, the second time."
Gao Lang called out slowly and deliberately.
Still no one spoke. Then, Nangong Ziyan looked at Baili Yuechan with a reluctant expression.
Baili Yuechan smiled smugly, looking at Nangong Ziyan with an arrogant gaze that evoked resentment, followed by a flash of disdain and contempt.
Nangong Ziyan didn't care, since she had already achieved her goal.
"One million taels for the third time."
Still, no one is raising the price.
"Alright! This alchemy furnace flame is priced at one million taels. Miss, please prepare your silver notes. The alchemy furnace flame will be presented shortly."
Nangong Ziyan raised an eyebrow and glanced at Beiming Haotian, her meaning clear: she was obviously playing Baili Yuechan for a fool.
Bei Ming Haotian gave a wicked smile, a smile filled with endless tolerance and doting.
Xiao Nian shook her head. The princess had fallen for Nangong Ziyan's trap. As the saying goes, the onlooker sees most of the game. Many people present could see that Nangong Ziyan was doing it on purpose. One million taels was enough for their expenses in various places for two years. Right now, they needed the money. The princess was really... But even though she realized that Nangong Ziyan was doing it on purpose, Xiao Nian didn't dare to say a word in front of Baili Yuechan. That would only bring trouble upon herself.
Dongfang Yifei was the last to react, but by the time he did, it was too late to warn Baili Yuechan.
At this moment, the two men sitting at the back smiled as they looked at Nangong Ziyan's back in front of them.
"Brother, do you think Yan'er did it on purpose? I know best how many silver notes she had on her, and it wasn't even enough to cover the bottom price."
The man said in a low voice.
The two men were Nangong Ruichen and Nangong Jingqi. They would come to the auction in the Netherworld Continent every year, but they rarely participated in the bidding. They mostly came to learn from the experience. They never expected to see their sister participating in the bidding this time.
"Do you even need to tell me? Anyone with eyes can see that. But what I find strange is, why would Baili Yuechan be willing to take the bait?"
"Brother, can't you see this? Women are all driven by vanity. Unlike our Yan'er! Yan'er is good in the kitchen and elegant in the living room. She's smart, cute, and kind-hearted. We've traveled to so many places and seen all kinds of people! But our Yan'er is the most lovable."
"If I put the two of you together, it'll surely make your father faint with anger." Nangong Ruichen glanced at Nangong Jingqi with annoyance. When the two siblings were together, they had nothing but a belly full of mischievous ideas...
"Brother, no matter how smart, capable, or gifted a person is, if they don't know how to live, how meaningless is that! I..."
"Shut up. These words weren't spoken by you, but by Yan'er. If we follow your logic, are those mediocre people someone who has lived their whole lives without ever figuring out how to live? The world is so chaotic these days, you'd better think carefully." Nangong Ruichen warned sternly. He didn't want to see Jingqi and Yan'er get hurt; they were his beloved family. Only when they were well could he be well.
Soon after the alchemy furnace flames were handed over, the third treasure was brought out.
At this moment, everyone held their breath. This third treasure, as anyone who had been to Cloud Mist Palace knew, was the most precious treasure of the day.
Gao Lang carefully lifted the red cloth.
"Everyone, this is the most expensive treasure that Cloud Mist Palace auctions off every year. It's a soul-restoring potion that can bring the dead back to life. It was personally refined by Master Tian Nanxing, and its efficacy is evident to all."
