On the day of the auction, the streets of Tianbao City were deserted, and countless cultivators gathered at the magnificent Tianbao Pavilion auction house in the center of the city.
When Gu Changqing appeared, the entire noisy entrance suddenly became quiet.
He was dressed in white, spotless, with a face as handsome as a god, and an indescribable dignity and indifference surrounding him.
Behind him, Gu Fan was like a silent iron tower, his aura as deep as the abyss. Just standing there made the surrounding monks feel a suffocating pressure.
Several equally impressive followers followed closely behind.
Without any notification, the manager of Tianbao Pavilion had already been waiting respectfully by the side and personally led Gu Changqing and his party to the top floor of the auction house, which had the best view and was the most secretive and luxurious exclusive box.
Countless eyes gathered together, with awe, curiosity, jealousy, and so on.
"It's the young master of the Gu family! He's here too!"
"Hiss... What a strong aura! Who is that person next to him? He seems even more terrifying than some of the sect elders!"
"The young master of the Gu family is here in person. It looks like there will be some valuable treasures revealed at this auction!"
There was a low murmur of discussion, but no one dared to make a noise.
Gu Changqing ignored this and walked straight into the box, sitting down casually on the soft couch by the window, his eyes calmly cast at the venue below which was gradually filling up.
It was as if all this had nothing to do with him.
At this moment, several figures also sat down in an ordinary box on the other side.
Leading the group was an old man with a gaunt face and sharp eyes. He was Elder Fu from the Tianfu Sect who was in charge of the affairs here.
Beside him sat several disciples of the sect who looked quite impressive.
Surrounded by these people, a young man with a pale face and sinister eyes was staring at the direction of the box where Gu Changqing was.
It’s Ye Chen!
His fists were clenched tightly in his sleeves, his nails almost digging into his palms, and his chest was filled with overwhelming hatred and humiliation!
Gu Changqing!
It's him again!
The ghost is still there!
Elder Fu seemed to sense Ye Chen's emotional fluctuations and whispered soothingly, "Ye Chen, calm down. You have the sect's support today. Even if the Gu family's child has a powerful background, he may not be able to dominate here."
Having said that, a hint of solemnity flashed across Elder Fu's eyes.
Gu Changqing's high-profile appearance added a touch of uncertainty to his original plan.
The auction will begin soon.
One after another, rare treasures were presented on the exhibition stand, shining brightly and causing exclamations from the audience.
Magical instruments, elixirs, techniques, materials... a dazzling array of them.
Gu Changqing leaned lazily all the time, occasionally glancing at the system screen.
"Ding! [Star Iron Essence] detected, a refining material that will play a key role in a certain natal magic weapon of Ye Chen, the son of destiny."
"Ding! [Soul-Nourishing Saliva] detected. A low-level spiritual medicine that can be used to repair damage to the soul. It's one of the auxiliary ingredients Yao Chenzi uses to refine a key elixir."
Regarding these scattered little things, Gu Changqing simply gave instructions to the followers behind him.
"Go, take a picture of that piece of iron."
"Take that saliva-like thing too."
The followers obeyed the order respectfully and made a direct offer.
Often, after just one price increase, no one dares to compete anymore.
The reputation of the Gu family, coupled with Gu Changqing's nonchalant attitude, made many cultivators who were originally interested choose to give up wisely.
Ye Chen, Elder Fu and the others saw this and their expressions became even uglier.
Finally, when the auction was halfway through, a highlight item was slowly pushed up.
It was a spiritual herb that was emerald green all over, emitting a bright and precious light and exuding a rich breath of life.
"Everyone! This is the [Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass]! The legendary supreme medicine that can bring the dead back to life! Starting price, 10 million high-grade spirit stones!" The auctioneer's voice trembled with excitement.
The audience immediately exploded!
"Nine-turn Resurrection Grass! It's actually such a magical item!"
"It is said that this grass only grows in the Nine Netherworld, and it is rare to see it once in ten thousand years!"
Ye Chen's breathing suddenly became rapid!
Elder Fu's eyes lit up!
This was one of their main goals! Not only did this item have a miraculous effect on Ye Chen's previous injuries, it was also the key to a certain secret technique of the Tianfu Sect!
"We must take it down no matter what!" Elder Fu said in a deep voice, his tone filled with unquestionable determination.
"Eleven million!" Elder Fu was the first to quote.
"Thirteen million!" Immediately, powerful forces from other boxes followed suit.
The price continued to rise and soon broke through the 30 million mark.
Elder Fu's forehead was slightly sweaty, but he still gritted his teeth and continued: "Thirty-five million!"
This is almost all the liquid resources they brought this time.
The scene was quiet for a while, as the price was beyond the affordability of many people.
A hint of joy flashed in Elder Fu's eyes, thinking that victory was in his grasp.
Just then.
A lazy and clear voice came faintly from the top box.
"One hundred million."
!!!
The entire auction hall fell into silence in an instant!
Everyone suddenly looked up and looked towards the box where Gu Changqing was, their eyes full of disbelief!
One hundred million?!
Directly increase from 35 million to 100 million high-grade spirit stones? !
Is this crazy?!
The joy on Elder Fu's face froze in an instant, then turned to ashen, and finally turned into uncontrollable anger!
"Gu Changqing! What do you mean?!" He couldn't help but growl.
Ye Chen was so angry that he was shaking all over, his eyes were red, and he wanted to rush up and tear Gu Changqing into pieces!
This isn't an auction at all, it's a blatant humiliation! It's like throwing money in someone's face!
