Auction (6)

The sudden raise to three million gold for the floor price silenced the auction hall, as people instinctively turned their heads towards the gentleman from Xiling who had just arrived in the southwestern corner.
Ji Fu was clad in a black short tunic, sitting independent and composed, looking at the purple sandalwood box on the auction stage, as if urging Xiao Zheng to strike the hammer down.
On the stage, Xiao Zheng stared at his friend's sudden bid in surprise. He realized that the gem in his hand might be a treasure.
For Xiao Zheng, the greatest gain from this journey wasn't the rare treasures he'd gathered from various regions but meeting Ji Fu in Beimang by sheer coincidence.
The Ji Clan's ferocity was brought to its full display in the war-ravaged land of Beimang, yet even the powerful Ji Clan faced the dilemma of shortage of food and clothing in such a harsh environment.
That's why Xiao Zheng formed a plan. He persuaded Ji Fu and brought him to the prosperous city of Xiling, hoping Ji Fu could convince his clan to relocate there.
If the Xiao Family could ally with the Ji Clan, they might stand a chance against the Tang Mi and the rest, and he would no longer have to cautiously plot the development of the Xiao Family. They would have a chance to contend.
in Xiao Zheng's eyes, Ji Fu was always someone who could maintain an objective and calm demeanor towards everything. Even coming suddenly from the poor and dangerous Beimang to the prosperous city like Xiling, his state o mind remained clear and unmoved.
However, after his bid of three million gold, Xiao Zheng knew that although Ji Fu still appeared indifferent on the surface, his urgency was undeniable.
This indicated that the item in the purple sandalwood box must be a priceless treasure; otherwise, it wouldn't have caused Ji Fu, who was usually calm and cold, to become so flustered.
"My discernment isn't good enough!" Xiao Zheng could only mock himself in his mind. Reluctantly glancing at the purple sandalwood box in his hand, he declared loudly, "Young Master Ji bids three million gold. Is there anyone who would like to bid higher than three million gold? If not...."
"Five million!"
A deep voice interrupted Xiao Zheng's words, coming from the VIP room on the second floor, sparking an uproar amongst the crowd.
ji Fu's composed expression faltered when he heard this bid. He turned his head and saw two young men standing at the railing on the second floor.
One of them was tall and straight with a pair of seductive peach blossom eyes. The other one, a teenager about fifteen or sixteen years old, was shorter but possessed a serious demeanor that commanded respect.
Thinking of the scene where they spent a fortune for the Ten Kilometer Mysteries Jade, Ji Fu's heart sank. Competing with the rich in a bidding war was indeed the most despairing thing.
However, considering that they didn't even recognize the Ten Kilometer Mysteries Jade, they would know even less about the Boundary Breaking Stone. He should be able to secure the Boundary Breaking Stone with his own resources in Xiling, so Ji Fu raised the bid again, calling out: "Ten million." This time the crowd in the auction hall was truly shocked. The glowing gem had skyrocketed to ten million after two bids. Even though they didn't know the bidder from Beimang, they did recognize Tang Luo and Old Master Xu on the second floor.
One of them was the most distinguished genius in Xiling, and the other one was a respected member of a sainthood family. Even the slowest person in the hall could tell that the gem in the box must be a rare divine object that everyone was unacquainted with.
Meanwhile, Old Master Xu and Tang Luo looked at each other, filled with curiosity towards this sudden bidder.
"Do many people know about the Boundary Breaking Stone?" Tang Luo asked
in a low voice.
Old Master Xu shook his head gravely, replying: "Only some ancient sects and sainthood families do."
"That's... interesting," said Tang Luo, the corners of his mouth curling into a smile. He then bid: "Ten million and ten thousand." The bid of an extra ten thousand was not to take a dig at Ji Fu, but to use this time to clarify some things.
-What's inside the treasure vault of the Han Family? We don't want to spend a fortune only to end up with trash," Tang Luo joked to Old Master Xu.
It's fine to spend some money, but after spending a billion on the treasure vault and then ending up with items only worth nine hundred million, they' be in real trouble.
Old Master Xu, whose mind was focused on the transaction of the Boundary Breaking Stone, couldn't catch the humor in Tang Luo's words. He hastily said, "Rest assured, all the items in the Minor Spiritual Realm treasure vault of the sacred lands are of substantial value. In addition to the fundamental techniques of our sect, there are various secret techniques, divine weapons, Divine Armors, divine medicines... all of which can help us turn the tide.
Definitely not a loss!"
Tang Luo gasped, "Are the sacred lands so rich?"
The large clans would always keep something in reserve, but these were usually techniques or wealth. Why wouldn't they use those divine weapons, Divine Armors, and divine medicines that could immediately enhance their combat power within their clan?
While Tang Luo was surprised, Ji Fu had already raised the bid to twenty million!
"Twenty million and ten thousand." Tang Luo added an extra ten thousand almost immediately after Ji Fu finished speaking, then turned back and continued questioning, "How are we going to divide this treasure vault.
"just like that?" Old Master Xu was taken aback. He was surprised.

"If not, then how?" Tang Luo curled his lips, naturally transitioning into a state of negotiating business, "Of course, there's no need to mention
the techniques and nd secrets, justm make a copy for us. As for the other riches and spiritual treasures, we need to establish a proportion for the division, right?" "It's not that simple!” Looking at Tang Luo's demeanor, Old Master Xu felt wronged, as if Tang
Luo had already taken the treasure vault into his pocket, "The right of distribution is not in your hands nor mine!" "Hmm? What do you mean?" Tang Luo asked, furrowing his brow. The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!

-Do you think that just having the Boundary Breaking Stone gets you the treasure vault? We don't evem know where the entrance to Han Family's Minor Spiritual Realm is. Where are you going to open the vault?" Old Master Xu spread his hands, with a helpless look on his face. The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!

Tang Luo was taken aback and said incredulously, "Then what's the use of us buying this Boundary Breaking Stone? To use it as a light bulb at home?" 'No, no," Old Master Xu
hurriedly explained. The XClan has researchers on Spiritual Realms. As long as the Boundary Breaking Stone is given to them, they can sense the approximate location of the corresponding Spiritual Realm based on the unique rhythm of the stone's
glow. Then, they can gradua ly narrow down the search and eventually find the Minor Spiritual Realm!" While he was explaining, Ji Fu had raised his bid by another four million nine hundred ninety-nine thousand, "Twenty-five million! The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!
"Twenty-five million and ten thousand.
It was an instantaneous response, again.
After bidding, Tang Luo furrowed his brows and asked, "How long will it take to
find the Minor Spiritual Realm?"
"Probably two or three years," Old Master Xu said somewhat dispiritedly. These Minor Spiritual Realms were no different from fortuitous encounters but obtaining them required fulfilling certain conditions, and the treasure a to be turned over to
the clan.
Even though he could get a share, the lion's share would have to go to the Xu Clan. That's the price of leveraging the power of the clan to acquire resources. Even if he was the representative of the current generation, no exceptions could be made......
