This night, the Zhanhu Army was almost annihilated.
Mu Zhengrong and his three Grandmasters were all severely injured.
If this incident were to spread, it would shock the entire Great Yan Kingdom.
The dignified Lord of a city was bullied so miserably.
Time passed like a white steed fleeting past a crack, and it was Saturday.
On this day, Qin Hanchu and others arrived in Quancheng by helicopter.
Besides Wan Tong accompanying him closely, Old Ghost and others also followed in secret.
Quancheng was Mu Zhengrong's territory, so they could not be careless.
At noon, the two entered the hotel where the venue was located.
On the way to the venue, Qin Hanchu saw many martial artists.
The strength of these martial artists was quite good.
The weakest was at the Eighth Rank realm.
Upon arriving at the venue, Qin Hanchu and his companion found seats at random.
Not long after sitting down, Qin Hanchu saw Kong Zhanyun leading Yun Niang and Yu Ling'er in.
Although he saw them, Qin Hanchu did not greet them.
As time passed, more and more martial artists entered.
"Jin Longxing is also here," Wan Tong said, looking towards the entrance.
Turning his head, he saw Jin Longxing following behind an old man.
This old man was the Jin family ancestor, Jin Aoyun.
"This old man is very strong, he should be the Jin family ancestor," Qin Hanchu said.
"Could it be that he's here for you?" Wan Tong asked.
Qin Hanchu nodded, "It's possible."
He shifted his gaze and did not bother Jin Longxing and the other man for the moment.
Half an hour later, the auction officially began.
"Welcome everyone to today's auction. I won't waste any more time and will get straight to it."
With the auctioneer's announcement, the auction officially commenced.
The first item was a sword gleaming with silver light.
According to the auctioneer's description, this sword was forged from meteorite iron from beyond the heavens and was incredibly sharp.
For martial artists, this sword was quite attractive.
A few minutes later, the sword was sold for thirty million, marking a small climax for the auction.
Qin Hanchu was not interested in these items, so he did not participate.
"Next, let's welcome the second auction item."
"This is a wild Blood Ganoderma. According to professional appraisers, it has a medicinal age of two hundred years."
"In today's society, wild medicinal materials are extremely rare, and a two-hundred-year-old Blood Ganoderma is even rarer."
"The starting bid is five million, and each bid must not be less than one hundred thousand. You may now bid."
The auctioneer said with a smile as the second item was presented.
"Five million three hundred thousand!"
"Five million four hundred thousand!"
This Blood Ganoderma was very beneficial for martial artists below the Ninth Rank.
Therefore, many martial artists participated in the bidding war.
Wan Tong looked at Qin Hanchu and asked, "Do you want to bid for it?"
Qin Hanchu nodded, "Yes, it can be used for Hailu and the others."
With Qin Hanchu's permission, Wan Tong began to compete.
Finally, Wan Tong won the Blood Ganoderma for seven million.
The previous items were merely appetizers, so people were not concerned about their ownership.
With the appearance of the third auction item, everyone's eyes lit up.
"The next auction item is a hundred-year-old Dragon Marrow Grass!"
"Dragon Marrow Grass is one of the top ten divine herbs and has the miraculous effect of cleansing the marrow and strengthening the body."
"If a peak Ninth Rank martial artist consumes it, there is an eighty percent chance of reaching the Grandmaster realm."
"Even a Grandmaster has a certain chance of breaking through."
"The starting bid is ten million, and each increment must not be less than one million."
The auctioneer stated.
"This item, my Shen family of Bamin Prefecture wants it. Please give us some face!" As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, Shen Jiuxiao proudly stood up and said.
Shen Jiuxiao's words caused quite a stir in the audience.
Many people looked at Shen Jiuxiao with surprise.
Of course, some people looked at him with disdain.
Qin Hanchu looked at Wan Tong and asked, "Sister Wan Tong, is this Shen family very powerful?"
"The Shen family is the foremost family in Bamin Prefecture, with a Grandmaster residing in the clan."
"However, this Grandmaster is already at the end of his life."
"If the Shen family does not produce a new Grandmaster, the title of the foremost family of Bamin Prefecture might change hands."
Wan Tong replied.
Qin Hanchu nodded, "I must have the Dragon Marrow Grass."
Wan Tong nodded, "Understood."
"Thirty million!" Wan Tong directly increased the bid by twenty million.
Upon hearing this, Shen Jiuxiao's gaze turned ice-cold as he looked at Wan Tong.
"Miss, are you not giving my Shen family any face?" Shen Jiuxiao said in a deep voice.
"An auction is not a place to sell face. If you have money, bid; if you don't, shut up," Qin Hanchu said.
"That's right. Is the Shen family out of money? Resorting to bullying?" A young man with dyed yellow hair laughed from not far away.
"Wang Zhong, do you want to die?" Shen Jiuxiao said angrily.
"An auction only deals with money. If you want to resolve conflicts, please leave the venue," the auctioneer said with a smile. "If you cause trouble in the venue, do not blame our Yanding Chamber of Commerce for its lack of hospitality."
Although the Yanding Chamber of Commerce was not a top domestic conglomerate, this chamber of commerce had a strong background.
Rumor had it that the founder of the Yanding Chamber of Commerce was a prominent figure in the military.
Even though the Shen family was powerful, they did not dare to confront the Yanding Chamber of Commerce.
"Ancestor, that's Qin Hanchu!" Jin Longxing straightened his body as soon as he heard Qin Hanchu's voice.
Jin Aoyun glanced at Qin Hanchu and then said, "I'll talk to him after the auction is over."
"Understood," Jin Longxing said respectfully.
"Forty million!" Jin Aoyun's purpose for coming here was also this Dragon Marrow Grass.
"Forty-five million!" Shen Jiuxiao said angrily.
"Fifty million!" At this moment, a middle-aged man raised his hand and said.
"One billion!" Qin Hanchu said calmly.
Hiss!
Qin Hanchu's opening bid caused a sensation throughout the entire venue!
No one expected Qin Hanchu to be so overbearing, raising the price directly to one billion!
Because of Qin Hanchu's bid, many people didn't even have a chance to bid.
"Find out who this brat is for me!" Although the Shen family was the foremost family in Bamin Prefecture, they did not have much liquid capital.
Moreover, Shen Jiuxiao was just a junior in the clan and did not have the authority to use much of the family's funds.
Qin Hanchu's bid also made Jin Aoyun frown.
This price had exceeded his expectations.
"Eleven billion!" Just as everyone was silent, a middle-aged woman spoke.
"Fifteen billion!" Qin Hanchu said calmly.
The middle-aged woman looked at Qin Hanchu and said coldly, "Young handsome man, so wealthy and powerful?"
"You can continue bidding; it's a fair competition," Qin Hanchu said with a smile.
The middle-aged woman snorted and stopped bidding.
"Congratulations to this gentleman for acquiring the Dragon Marrow Grass." After three rounds of bidding, the auctioneer made the final decision, and this Dragon Marrow Grass was successfully purchased by Qin Hanchu.
"That middle-aged woman just now was Nangong Cailing of the Nangong family from Nanwan Prefecture!" Wan Tong whispered as the next item had not yet been presented.
Qin Hanchu nodded slightly, indicating he understood.
At the same time, Nangong Cailing was also telling her attendants, "Investigate this person's identity."
