Yun Yun Joins The Bid

Ya Fei maintained her charming smile, seeing the crowd's eager faces, she believed that they were more than ready to start bidding.

Sitting on the fourth floor, Li Xiao casually draped his arm over Lian Xue, gently pressing her head down to his groin while watching the auction unfold.

Lian Xue blushed but didn't stop her lord's actions.

"How much do you think this weapon will fetch?" Li Xiao asked gently.

Lian Xue cleared her throat, wiping the corners of her mouth, "From my perspective, this Golden Force Sword which originally a High-grade Earth-class weapon should fetch at least ten million gold coins, especially with the peak rank eight magical beast core embedded in it. Even alchemists will find it highly valuable."

Li Xiao nodded in agreement. The magical beast core alone was worth a hefty sum of money. Despite its reduced value over time, it still held immense potential, especially for alchemists.

He put down his teacup and picked up a book from the table, smiling, "Let's use this as the final auction item."

In the main hall on the first floor, Ya Fei's voice rang out, "Are you all ready? The auction begins now."

"The Golden Force Sword, a Low-grade Earth-class weapon. Starting bid is three million gold coins, with each increase not less than thirty thousand gold coins. Please proceed."

As soon as she finished speaking, the hall erupted with bids, fervent and intense.

"Three million five hundred thousand gold coins!"

"I bid four million!"

"Five million gold coins!"

A thing of a mundane world like money held little value to these powerful individuals. Now that they could buy such a high-level weapon with money, they of course wouldn't pass up this opportunity.

If they could obtain this Golden Force Sword, their strength would be significantly improved and it wasn't impossible for them to even challenge someone in a higher realm than them. This definitely would boost their confidence.

"This weapon is mine! Let's see who dares to outbid me!" roared Yuan Yi, the leader of the Eight Gates, asserting that the Golden Force Sword belonged to him and warning others against competing.

"Ten million gold coins!"

The bid was already double the previous high, causing those Dou Kings who were hoping to try their luck to step back. Ten million gold coins were beyond their expectations, making it impossible for them to continue bidding.

The crowd sighed, acknowledging that competing with the Black-Corner Region's elites was futile. Their resources were vast, and Yuan Yi, being a Dou Emperor and the owner of an auction house, had significant financial strength.

"What a pity. Another treasure goes to the wealthy and powerful. Why can't we win anything?"

"Don't worry, there are sure to be more valuable items. This auction is far superior to the previous ones. If we can win even one item, it will be worth it."

However, they might have forgotten one crucial fact: if they couldn't afford this item, the next ones would likely be even more expensive.

Yuan Yi's declaration had sparked the competitive flame among the crowd.

"You think you can have everything because you're from the Eight Gates Sect? Let's see about that," said the Emperor of the Yun Empire, Chu Yun Que, with a cold smile.

He had also set his eyes on this weapon and wouldn't let it slip through his fingers. Money was merely an external possession; as a peak Dou Emperor, he wasn't afraid of the Eight Gates's power.

If it were Alchemist Emperor Han Feng, perhaps Chu Yun Que would reconsider. After all, Han Feng was a sixth-grade alchemist, and offending him wasn't wise. Chu Yun Que might even want Han Feng to help him refine some pills in the future.

"Brother Yuan, your eagerness isn't a good thing. Others will take advantage of this opportunity to squeeze you dry. Don't forget our main purpose here."

Han Feng's eyes glimmered with coldness. The main purpose of bringing a few people was to join hands in the auction. If Yuan Yi continued his reckless behavior, he would have to be dealt with.

Yuan Yi's face turned red with anger. As a two-star Dou Emperor, obtaining this Golden Adamantine Sword would elevate his power to that of a peak Dou Emperor, nullifying Han Feng's threats.

But Han Feng seemed to have anticipated his thoughts, directly reminding him not to continue bidding, or else he would be considered an enemy.

"Hahaha, didn't expect Brother Yuan to be so fond of this. Let's join the fun too," Mister Golden and Mister Silver spoked in unison, "Twenty-five million gold coins."

With these two old men joining, Yuan Yi was completely suppressed. He knew he couldn't compete with them.

Chu Yun Que looked grave. He had heard of the renowned Mister Golden and Mister Silver. Together, they could rival a Dou Ancestor. How could he, a Dou Emperor, stand a chance?

 Mister Golden and Mister Silver grinned, determined to get this weapon.

"Sect Master, should we bid? This Golden Force Sword is perfect for you. I sensed the magical beast core's aura; it's very compatible with your techniques. If we obtain it, your power will rise to another level," whispered Elder Yun Leng, seeking Yun Yun's opinion.

Her weapon was only a mid-grade Black-class weapon. Compared to an Earth-class weapon, the difference was like day and night.

After seriously pondering Yun Leng's suggestion for a while, eventually Yun Yun decided to give it a try.

"Twenty-eight million gold coins."

As various factions fiercely confronted each other, the Misty Cloud Sect broke the stalemate.

Chu Yun Que, Golden and Silver Twins, Han Feng, and others all turned their eyes to the beautiful Yun Yun.

Mister Gold and Mister Silver sneered, "Lass, you're Misty Cloud Sect Master Yun Yun, right? I advise you to stay out of this, or your Misty Cloud Sect will suffer the consequences."

"No need for your concern," Yun Yun retorted, showcasing her strength and determination. Leading her sect to become the strongest required a firm mindset, not swayed by a few harsh words.

"Hmph, ignorant woman," snorted the twins. However, they couldn't help but leer at Yun Yun's figure, her fair skin, stunning looks, and captivating eyes. Even these old men couldn't resist the urge to taste her allure.
