After Big Black Cat's bid of 500,000 Spirit Stones was announced, the outside fell silent; no one else continued to bid.

Ye Yun's eyes twinkled, a faint, mocking smile playing on his lips as he calmly sipped his Immortal Tea, his demeanor unhurried.

"500,000, going once."

The woman's voice rang out. After about thirty seconds, seeing no one follow up, she continued, "500,000, going twice."

The surroundings remained silent; no one else bid.

In one room, the Store Manager's face was grim. He fumed, "What on earth is Old Li doing? I asked him to arrange for people to secretly push up the price. Didn't he hear my instructions?"

Beside the Store Manager stood a woman dressed in black, her attire embroidered with a small Xuan bird pattern. Her face cold, she said, "I'll go take a look."

With that, the woman in black turned and left the room. When she appeared in a certain private room, she found it empty.

Strange? Where did they go?

The woman in black's expression changed. She turned and walked out, finding the old man at the entrance of the auction house.

"Where is the person you arranged for Private Room 15? Why are they missing?" The woman in black grabbed the old man's clothes and snarled fiercely.

"Missing? How could that be? I clearly arranged for Little Dongzi..." The old man, greatly alarmed, hurriedly explained.

"You come with me."

The woman in black dragged the old man swiftly to the private room. Seeing the empty room, the old man was so astonished his jaw nearly hit the floor.

Where did they go? He had clearly made all the arrangements.

"You useless oaf, only good for messing things up!"

A figure flashed, and the Store Manager appeared in the private room, his face dark. He struck out with a palm, instantly turning the old man into a mist of blood.

The Store Manager looked at the woman in black and said, "You do it."

"1,000,000."

The woman in black opened her mouth and called out a price of 1,000,000.

Upon hearing this price, all the cultivators in the surrounding private rooms were shocked and looked at each other in dismay.

Although the Heavenly Moon Order was precious, fetching 1,000,000 Spirit Stones was the highest price in history. In the last few thousand years, it had never reached the 1,000,000 mark.

Who would have thought such a wealthy cultivator would appear in Private Room 15?

"Damn it! Someone actually followed the bid, and they doubled it!"

At this point, Big Black Cat shot up as if his rear had been scalded, itching to rush out and pick a fight.

Cat Baby quickly grabbed him. "Big Brother, don't be impulsive," he quickly comforted in a low voice.

"Master, should I continue bidding? Or should I rush out and snatch the Heavenly Moon Order?" Big Black Cat asked anxiously.

"Snatch what? Do you think your Master lacks Spirit Stones?" Ye Yun laughed heartily and took another sip of tea.

"I understand, Master." Big Black Cat smiled and quickly refilled Ye Yun's cup with hot water.

"1,100,000."

Big Black Cat shouted out another number.

"1,200,000."

From Private Room 15, the woman's voice echoed once again.

The Store Manager standing nearby, however, wore an excited expression. The cultivator who possesses the Dragon Spirit Pill is indeed wealthy and extravagant. Even after reaching 1,000,000, he can still raise the price.

"1,300,000," Big Black Cat gritted his teeth and yelled.

"1,500,000," the woman in Private Room 15 called out.

"1,700,000."

"1,900,000."

"2,000,000."

Big Black Cat, in one go, raised the price to 2,000,000.

Cat Baby looked outside and thought naively, "The other side is too aggressive, aren't they? The Heavenly Moon Order has never exceeded one million. This time it actually reached two million, double the previous highest! Which faction do they belong to?"

"Store Manager, should we continue bidding?" the woman in black asked.

"That's about enough. If we continue, we might scare them off..." the Store Manager said thoughtfully. "It's best to quit while ahead."

Two million Spirit Stones was already an impossibly high price.

The woman nodded. Their private room made no further bids.

The auctioneer outside called the price three more times. Seeing no one exceed 2,000,000, she finally brought the hammer down, officially declaring the Heavenly Moon Order sold.

A young woman carrying a tray entered Ye Yun's private room. "Esteemed guest, this is your Heavenly Moon Order. Please pay two million Spirit Stones or an item of equivalent value in exchange..." the young woman said with a smile.

Seeing how incredibly handsome the white-robed man before her was, her heart couldn't help but flutter. She had never seen such a good-looking man in her life; he radiated an indescribable charm that had her captivated from the first glimpse. But she also knew her place. She was just an auction house attendant; it wasn't her place to have such fantasies.

"Let's use Dragon Spirit Pills for payment," Ye Yun said calmly. "Ask how many Spirit Stones my mortgaged Dragon Spirit Pill is worth. I'll cover the rest."

The young woman, unsure of the price, quickly excused herself to find the Store Manager.

After a moment, the Store Manager entered with her. "Sir, your Dragon Spirit Pill is of excellent quality, worth 50,000 Spirit Stones," the Store Manager said with a smile.

"Is this price fair?" Ye Yun looked at Big Black Cat.

"Master, this price is quite reasonable..." Big Black Cat nodded.

"Alright. These are the remaining Dragon Spirit Pills..." With a wave of his hand, Ye Yun produced nineteen Emperor Level Dragon Spirit Pills.

Seeing so many Dragon Spirit Pills appear before him, the Store Manager's eyes lit up with a fervent glow. He accepted them with both hands.

At the same time, the young woman beside him, holding the tray, presented the Heavenly Moon Order to Ye Yun.

Ye Yun took the Heavenly Moon Order. This Heavenly Moon Order was crafted from bronze and engraved with numerous runes. These runes formed a minor Formation, possessing the Power of Spatial Teleportation.

Ye Yun's gaze flickered twice. He found the Heavenly Moon Order to be crudely made; it clearly wasn't authentic. His gaze swept into the distance, settling on the Heavenly Moon Dynasty. He quickly located several genuine Heavenly Moon Orders. After glancing at them and comparing them to the Heavenly Moon Order in his hand, he realized the one he held was a fake.

"As expected of a black market," Ye Yun suddenly said with a smile. "One can't even buy a genuine Heavenly Moon Order here..."

The Store Manager's expression changed slightly. He quickly clasped his hands and said earnestly, "Sir, you mustn't speak recklessly! This Heavenly Moon Order is absolutely genuine. If you don't believe it, once the Heavenly Moon Secret Region opens, you can enter with this token..."

"One can enter," Ye Yun smiled. "But I'm afraid one would be teleported out in less than three days. Your establishment truly is a rip-off..."

"Aha! So it's a rip-off joint!" Big Black Cat, face contorted with rage, rushed forward. "Watch me beat you to death, you rotten old bastard!" He struck out with his palm.

SLAP! SLAP!

Two crisp sounds echoed. The Store Manager's left and right cheeks immediately swelled up.

My body... The Store Manager was shocked to find that, at this moment, his body was immobilized, completely unable to move. Otherwise, with his cultivation base at the Destiny Realm Third Layer, he could have easily dodged the slaps from the black-robed young man opposite him.
