Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Chapter 710: The Secret Auction at the Nine Heavens Maneuver Arena (3)


Flap!!!

"This is your inscribed jade, Young Master! Please pay and receive the item!" The moment the auction ended, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared beside Zheng-Fu. He handed him the red wooden box that the middle-aged man standing in the arena had previously held, along with charging the auction price in exchange for the wooden box in his hands.

"These are sixty lumps of high-level Purple Heaven Crystals!" Zheng-Fu took out a cloth bag containing sixty lumps of high-level Purple Heaven Crystals and handed it to the man. He then took the red wooden box and opened it to examine the jade inside before storing it in his dimensional ring.

"Thank you, Young Master, for trusting us!" The middle-aged man took the cloth bag from Zheng-Fu, checked the number of high-level Purple Heaven Crystals, and then politely thanked Zheng-Fu. Afterward, he vanished from the spot all at once.

"Congratulations, Brother, for obtaining this jade with the advanced Deity Soul stage skill inscribed!" Ye-Liu congratulated Zheng-Fu for winning the auction this time, his expression showing slight bewilderment at Zheng-Fu's wealth.

Even Lan-Qing-Qi was shocked and curious about who Zheng-Fu really was. Judging by his ordinary clothes, he did not seem like a rich man. At the very least, the money he had previously won was still in unexchanged bills, meaning it could not yet be used as real money.

"Ah, thank you, Brother!" Zheng-Fu smiled and thanked the young man.

Tch!

"To spend a lot of money on something that you don't know if it will actually work or not is foolish. Normally, the price of this item would only be five million crystals because it has not yet been verified if it's actually usable!" A disgruntled and mocking voice suddenly sounded, and it was definitely Qing-Qi speaking.

"I just lost six million Purple Heaven Crystals—not much at all. Even more than this, I'd happily pay. The lost crystals are worth it in exchange for this advanced Deity Soul stage skill. Even if it hasn't been checked, I believe that in the future, I'll definitely make it work!" Zheng-Fu immediately retorted to the young woman with an indifferent expression regarding the money he had spent.

Huh!

"Come on, you two! The next round of auctions is about to begin. Better pay attention to it!" Ye-Liu hurriedly interjected again to stop Zheng-Fu and his elder sister from arguing. He felt an unspeakable headache over his elder sister being here and constantly clashing with someone she had just met.

"I'm absolutely interested in the auction. It's more interesting than...!" Zheng-Fu understood Ye-Liu's feelings and stopped paying attention to Qing-Qi.

"Me too! If possible, I wish it would be just you and me here. Just the two of us is enough, Ye-Liu!" Qing-Qi still tried to suppress her emotions but did not hesitate to add something a little ironic at the end.

"Brother Ye-Liu, I must apologize to you and Elder Sister for the inconvenience. I'll excuse myself to sit somewhere else. It'll be more comfortable for all of us!" Zheng-Fu, tired of arguing with the young woman, decided to move to another seat.

"Brother!"

Both Ye-Liu and Qing-Qi had startled expressions on their faces, especially Qing-Qi. She was shocked and upset that Zheng-Fu had done this. She had not expected him to dare to walk away from her. However, she could not stop or forbid him, so she could only curse him in her mind. This incident caught everyone's attention.

Sigh!

"I really don't understand you, Elder Sister. What's wrong with you today? Normally, I've seen you seduce men. But why do you look dissatisfied with Brother Zheng-Fu today?" The young man could not help but ask his elder sister, unable to understand her behavior.

"Why are you asking so many questions, huh? If you keep asking, I won't give you any more money to spend—just wait and see! And you mustn't talk about that kid either, understand!?" Qing-Qi did not want to talk about Zheng-Fu, as she felt provoked and embarrassed.

"Err… Mm! I won't say any more, Elder Sister. Then please bid on a heavenly weapon for me!" The young man knew well when to speak and when to remain silent. So, he refrained from mentioning Zheng-Fu again and instead turned to the topic of the Heavenly Weapon, the highlight of the event, because he wanted it and had to rely on his elder sister to buy it for him.

"Buy the Heavenly Sword for you? Don't you know how high its price is? At most, the Purple Heaven Crystals we can use are only twenty million lumps of low-level ones. If the price of that weapon is higher than that, we can't afford it. I think you'd better find something else!" The young woman widened her eyes at the young man, her younger brother, before speaking bluntly and explaining how many crystals she could use. If the weapon's price exceeded the limit of what could be used, everything would be over.

"Oh! Elder Sister is a big gambling table manager; the income you've earned is not small. Purchasing a weapon for thirty or forty million shouldn't be too difficult for you..."

Pow!!!

Ouch!!!

"You do have some nerve to say it's not difficult! That's the clan's money. I'm only in charge of taking care of it instead of our Third Uncle. It's not my money, and it's not my business! If you want to earn that much money, then you have to be helpful, not just drinking and playing around day by day like this!" Before Ye-Liu could finish speaking, Qing-Qi's hand had already knocked the young man's head and warned him.

"I know, Elder Sister! Sigh!"

Back to the maneuver area...

After the auction of the first item was completed, the next item was immediately brought onto the stage. This item required a man to lift it onto the stage. It seemed to be fairly large.

"Come on, everyone! Let's move on to the next piece. The next item we'll auction is the 'Kirin and Twin Dragons Medicine Cauldron.' This cauldron is also from an ancient ruin in the outside world. It is said to be over ten thousand years old. But even after ten thousand years, the aroma of herbs and medicines still lingers. If you don't believe me, I'll open the lid so everyone can experience it!"

When the middle-aged man removed the cloak, it revealed a three-legged cauldron. It had a kirin carving on the lid and two dragons on the cauldron. It looked very mysterious and powerful. However, what was more striking was not its shape or appearance but the herbal fragrance that radiated from within the cauldron after the middle-aged man opened its lid.

Flop! Waft!

"What kind of herbal scent is this? So fragrant and pure!?"

"Just a slight inhalation gives a feeling of comfort to the whole body. This must definitely be a Deity stage expert apothecary's cauldron!"

"Huh? A cauldron of a Deity stage expert apothecary? Oh! There's a high possibility that this cauldron has been around for ten thousand years. It definitely deserves to be a cauldron of a Deity stage expert apothecary!"

"If I get it and give it to our clan's apothecaries, their skills will surely rise to many levels! And by that time, our clan will have high-level pills to use!"

Many of the auction participants shared the same opinion. The reason they needed this cauldron was that it would help their apothecaries develop their skills further by absorbing the aura and intentions hidden in the cauldron.

"In order not to waste time, let me open the auction for this cauldron at the price of 5,000,000 Purple Heaven Crystals!"

5,200,000 Purple Heaven Crystals!

5,300,000 Purple Heaven Crystals!

5,500,000 Purple Heaven Crystals!

5,800,000 Purple Heaven Crystals!

6,500,000 Purple Heaven Crystals!

7,000,000 Purple Heaven Crystals!

In the blink of an eye, after the auction price was set, the bidding continued rapidly. Now the price of the cauldron had reached seven million Purple Heaven Crystals, and it seemed the price would continue to rise.

"This cauldron is interesting! If I could use it to concoct medicine, I might be able to make higher-level medicine than I've ever made!" Zheng-Fu was also interested in the cauldron. He thought he would wait for the price to rise to its highest point before joining the auction.

10,000,000 Purple Heaven Crystals!

10,500,000 Purple Heaven Crystals!

10,550,000 Purple Heaven Crystals!

10,600,000 Purple Heaven Crystals!

13,000,000 Purple Heaven Crystals!

Huh!?

While the bids began to slowly increase, one young man's leap-forward bid sounded. This person looked very familiar to Zheng-Fu; he was actually the Second Young Master of the Heavenly Floating Cloud Tiger Clan, Bei-Chuan.

"Are those Second Young Master Bei-Chuan and his elder brother, Bei-Dong-Hong, from the Heavenly Floating Cloud Tiger Clan? And the person sitting next to them is the Second Elder, the clan's ultimate apothecary!"

"This time, the Heavenly Floating Cloud Tiger Clan will definitely fight without limits. If Master Elder of Apothecary himself came like this, he wouldn't have missed it!"

"But I guess the other side won't give up either. Look, the great, skilled apothecary from the Heavenly Forest Force is also here; this is sure to be fun!"

Huh?

15,000,000 Purple Heaven Crystals!

"15,000,000 Purple Heaven Crystals by Master Chou-Bing from the Heavenly Forest Force. Can anyone offer a higher price, sir?" When the middle-aged man in the arena saw that the middle-aged man from the Heavenly Forest Force had offered a higher price, he did not delay and immediately announced the new price to encourage the Second Elder from the Heavenly Floating Cloud Tiger Clan to quickly bid more.

"You, Chou-Bing! It's you again? This time, I won't lose this cauldron to you like I did in the last auction of ten-thousand-year herbs!" The Second Elder from the Heavenly Floating Cloud Tiger Clan showed a displeased and angry expression upon seeing Chou-Bing offer a higher price.

"This matter cannot be judged by words alone, Lei-Shu! It all depends on who has the deepest pockets. If you don't want to lose face like last time, then offer a higher price than what I offered. Only then will you be the winner!" Chou-Bing replied with a very satisfied smirk. Because the Heavenly Forest Force was famous for its medicine concoction, most of their income came primarily from the sale of divine medicine and herbs.

"All right! Then I'd like to offer an additional price of... 20,000,000 Purple Heaven Crystals!"

Huh!?!
