"With this amount of money, should I build a city myself? No, it's better to build a country, ha ha ha!" Zheng-Fu muttered softly and showed a slightly joyful expression without caring about anyone. But it made the people who were watching him pay attention to his actions.

"What is he smiling at?"

A middle-aged man wearing a yellow robe spoke in a very low tone when he saw the strange expression of Zheng-Fu. But his voice, no matter how undertoned, could not escape Zheng-Fu's deity ears. When he realized that the middle-aged man was looking at him, Zheng-Fu hurriedly changed to a calm expression as before, not showing any further gestures.

'What? He changed his expression again. Is this boy insane or... or does he know?' A thought about Zheng-Fu's changing expression flashed in. But he shook that thought aside. How could it be that Zheng-Fu knew he was looking?

Moreover, with the stage of power that he thought he had higher than Zheng-Fu, it was absolutely impossible for Zheng-Fu to realize.

"Huuuughh... I'm so happy that I forgot someone is watching me."

Zheng-Fu let out a long sigh and blamed himself for being too happy and forgetting that someone was watching him. But even if the other saw it, what would it be? Anyway, that man did not know why he was happy. At most, it just made him wonder.

After the last wooden box was opened to reveal the fire-elemental spiritual stone within, the fire spirit cultivators' eyes suddenly widened with trembling in desire. But no matter how much they wanted, the money in their pockets did not satisfy their needs at all. And even if they could bid, they still had to think about what would happen after taking it out.

Because if the person who could auction it was just an ordinary person, then he would definitely be hunted down. And that was why no one dared bid on it if he was not cool enough. But if the large families or the large sects had taken possession, they did not need to fear. After all, these groups of people have their own forces. If anyone thought to snatch it away, they would have to prepare for war.

But there were still exceptions. No matter how powerful a person was, if he met a thief or a skilled hunter, he would also lose his right to survive. Because such people usually work without leaving any traces. Before being followed, they must have fled far away.

"Alright, it's better to start bidding on the last elemental spirit stone. The starting price is the same. Let's start the auction!"

Bang!!!

Five hundred million monster crystal coins!

Just as Wang-Lin-Chan opened the auction, the Third Prince's bidding suddenly sounded out loud. And the Third Prince even bid five hundred million right from the start.

"Damn it! I won't surrender, even if it's you, Third Prince! Raging Sword Sect likes to propose a price increase of five hundred fifty million monster crystal coins." Pac-Du-Gu raised the bid sign immediately.

"Old Pac, are you still thinking of taking it?"

"Of course, even if the fire-elemental stone is no use to me, it isn't useless to the genius youths of my sect!"

"It's true, just like Old Pac said. So, I'll take it too! Dragon Halberd Sect likes to propose a price increase of six hundred million monster crystal coins!"

Huh...!?

Suddenly, another old man's voice sounded from the auction room of the Dragon Halberd Sect. And when everyone turned to look at the source of the sound, the three famous elders' faces were dazed, and their brows furrowed tightly.

"Is that Elder Lao-Tian-Zheng of the Dragon Halberd Sect, who got the title 'Ten Thousand Kills Halberd'?"

"Ten Thousand Kills Halberd!?"

"Yes! I've heard that he can kill ten thousand barbarian soldiers with a single flick of his trusty weapon, the halberd. And every time he flicked his halberd, there would always be a death like this. So, he received this title!"

"It's just like this!"

In the auction room of the Royal Guardian Sect...

"I pay homage to Elder Lao-Tian-Zheng... Didn't think you were also coming." Zhang-Jing-Jing, seeing who the other person was, stood up, clasped his hands together, and bowed slightly to greet that man before smiling and sitting down.

"Ah...! Elder Zhang-Jing-Jing, I heard that at the Purple Dragon Auction House, some great items were being auctioned, so I rushed over. But I almost can't arrive on time. Fortunately, I'm in time for the last moment." Lao-Tian-Zheng smiled and replied with a polite and friendly answer.

"Ha ha ha! I'm glad you arrived in time. Right now, the last elemental spiritual stone is left. And it is also a fire-elemental stone that matches your element perfectly." Zhang-Jing-Jing hurriedly replied and gave him full praise. But it sounded more like flattery.

"I feel like the two of you are getting along well!" An old woman sitting on the other side of the Bright-Sky Medicine Sect's room interjected with a sly smile.

"Oh... That's Elder Gim-Mei. You do come too? Long time no see; are you still doing fine? The medicine that you concocted that time, I still remember and will never forget it." Lao-Tian-Zheng turned to Gim-Mei with a smile at the corner of his mouth. But whoever looked at it knew that the two were clearly talking sarcastically to each other.

Tch!!!

"Alright, is there anyone else to give more, sir?" Wang-Lin-Chan continued to do her duty when she saw that the saliva war was about to happen again.

"I increased it to six hundred fifty million monster crystal coins." The Third Prince held up the sign again.

"I increased it to six hundred seventy million monster crystal coins." Pac-Du-Gu held up the sign while gritting his teeth, raising the bid.

"Elder Pac-Du-Gu, if you can't, it's better not to force. Otherwise, you'll be in trouble! I bid seven hundred million monster crystal coins." Lao-Tian-Zheng turned to look at Pac-Du-Gu, whose face was so distorted with anger that it almost caught fire. Then said the words to add more fuel to make the opponent get more upset.

"You!! Good, I won't give up on anyone today. I b... Oops!!!"

But before Pac-Du-Gu could shout out his bid, the elders and disciples of his sect raised their hands to cover his mouth, causing him to halt and fall down.

And when he became conscious, preparing to turn around to curse and punish them, one of the disciples handed him a letter. When he opened and read it, his face suddenly turned pale before he got up and walked out of the room immediately.

"So, where are you going? Not bidding anymore?" When Zhang-Jing-Jing saw Pac-Du-Gu was about to leave, he shouted and asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Wherever I go, it's up to me. Just you wait, I'll get it back. Wait for the showdown between the sects. I will put your sect to shame!"

Bang!!!

When finished speaking, he immediately walked away without waiting for the other to speak or argue anymore. Not because he surrendered, but because he had a reason to return to the sect urgently. So, he had to cut off his anger.

"Where is that old going in such a hurry?" Zhang-Jing-Jing spoke out of curiosity when he saw that the opponent had rushed out, ignoring his provocation at all.

"Will anyone else bid a higher price, please?"

Seven hundred fifty million monster crystal coins!!!

The Third Prince, who was sitting below, held the bid sign again. This time, he bid over his limit. Missing the previous two stones still left him with a lot of money left. So, he thought of dumping it for the last stone. Because if he got it, it would greatly increase the stage of his closest henchman.

"The Third Prince!?"

Lao-Tian-Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw that the Third Prince offered an additional price. He was reluctant to compete in a bid with the Third Prince because his sect and the Royal Guardian Sect were both sects that served the royal family, and the Third Prince was also one of the royal family. Moreover, he was a contender to become the next king.

"Elder Lao-Tian-Zheng, don't worry. This is an auction, so it depends on the amount, not the position. You can bid at full capacity." When The Third Prince saw Lao-Tian-Zheng's worried expression, he immediately knew what the old man was thinking. So, he spoke to ease his concerns, telling him to bid fully.

He himself did not like how his title as a prince made another person feel uncomfortable, either.

"I am grateful to the Third Prince. If so, I'm not being considerate anymore. The Dragon Halberd Sect raises the price to eight hundred million monster crystal coins." Lao-Tian-Zheng immediately raised his bid upon hearing the Third Prince's permission. Anyway, he did not really think to fight the price but just increased the price so as not to lose face.

Eight hundred forty million monster crystal coins!!!

"Ah… I'd like to surrender… I can't fight the price anymore. This last fire-elemental spiritual stone already belongs to the Third Prince." Lao-Tian-Zheng took this chance to immediately surrender. Even if his words were just lies, who would have known that he really gave up because of the price?

"Huuuughh... Well, it's alright, I understand!" The Third Prince let out a long sigh of sadness because he knew that the other one had intended to surrender to him.

"Is there anyone else who would like to bid more, sir?" Wang-Lin-Chan heard the words of surrender from the old man, Lao-Tian-Zheng,'s mouth, so she knew what had happened. But she continued to perform her duty, although she knew that no one dared bid more.

!!.........silent..........!!

"No one has bid more, so I will start counting!? One... two... three...!!!"

Yay!!! Yay!!! Yay!!!

"Congratulations, Your Highness, the Third Prince. You win the auction in this final round. And now all the auction items have been auctioned off. So, today's auction is over now. I'd like to thank all the attendees for trusting our auction house as always. And to the winner of the auction in various rounds, please make your payment as well.

Have a safe journey back home, sir."

"Huuuughh... It's finally over, the auction. It's all day today, from morning till evening!"

"That's right. How many chapters has this auction been? I sit and read until my ass is all wet before it's over!!!"

"The auction is over. Let's go get some rice whisky. Drinks are on me."

"May I have some sour pickles, too? I like it!!!"

Ha ha ha!!!

The supporting characters were all complaining in various ways. But they did not regret coming to the auction today because coming this time caused them to see advanced-stage weapons and armour as well as high-stage skills. And they also saw the large elemental spiritual stones.

"Well, I'd better go get my money! Money, here comes your Papa!!!" When the auction was over, Zheng-Fu suddenly stood up as well, with a joyful muttering in his throat, before walking away with a large crowd of supporting characters to go out and get his money and also pay for the items he auctioned.
