"One hundred million low-grade Saint Crystals!"
Before everyone could recover, a voice boomed from a private box, starting with a bid of one hundred million low-grade Saint Crystals, nearly causing everyone to drop their jaws.
The one who spoke was none other than Ye Xuan himself!
"Is that... Ye Xuan?"
Elder Li heard the voice and his gaze shifted. His lips twitched. Good heavens, he was ruthless, bidding against himself.
Many forces in the auction hall cursed inwardly. Damn it, this wasn't how you played. Did they even give them a chance to just bid? This was too wicked!
"One hundred million low-grade Saint Crystals, plus ten spiritual herbs of eight hundred thousand years!"
"One hundred ten million, plus ten spiritual herbs of eight hundred thousand years!"
"One hundred twenty million..."
It was clear that with Ye Xuan's price inflation, Feng Chen and others, who were initially stunned, resumed their fervent bidding. In the end, two "Po Chen Pills" were finally auctioned off for one hundred thirty million low-grade Saint Crystals, plus twenty spiritual herbs of a million years.
This could be described as an unprecedented sky-high price!
Gulp.
Gulp, gulp.
In the private box, Feng Chen and the others stared at the auction stage in disbelief. Good heavens, what had they heard? Master had made another huge profit.
On the other side, Su Junyue heard Ye Xuan's voice and her expression became peculiar. "That voice is right... the Alliance Leader has indeed come to Taixuan Holy City."
Bidding against himself, this move was truly... pioneering.
Su Junyue's understanding of her Alliance Leader had reached a new level. However, it also indicated that the Alliance Leader was genuinely in great need of resources, otherwise, he wouldn't have acted this way.
Thinking thus, Su Junyue pondered for a moment. "It seems... it's time to repay the Alliance Leader again."
"Good!"
After Elder Li successfully bid for the last two "Po Chen Pills," the staff had already brought out another auction item. Furthermore, the two individuals carrying it, despite having the strength of an eighth-tier Immortal Lord, were still struggling. This scene immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please behold!"
As he spoke, Elder Li pulled open the red silk cloth, revealing a glass cage reinforced with profound talismans.
Everyone, "!!!!!!"
When everyone saw the item within, they were all stunned. "This is... an ant!?"
That's right!
Everyone's eyes fell upon an ant the size of a fist. However, its aura was clearly weak, indicating it had suffered a serious injury.
"This item is extremely dangerous. To capture it back then, our Four Seas Chamber of Commerce had several Star-level experts heavily injured. However, due to the ant's shell being as hard as iron, we were completely unable to ascertain its origin, hence we are auctioning it off."
"The starting bid is one million low-grade Saint Crystals!"
Hmm.
As Elder Li finished speaking, everyone's gaze immediately turned back to the ant in the glass cage. An ant worth one million low-grade Saint Crystals, which had even injured Star-level experts.
However, this ant seemed rather useless.
"Master, quickly, bid for this ant!"
The elf-like clone beside Ye Xuan, upon seeing the ant on the auction stage, immediately urged Ye Xuan. "Don't worry about anything else, this ant is no simple creature. We must bid for it, no matter what."
"Oh."
Just as Ye Xuan was about to speak upon hearing his elf clone's words, an expert from the Holy Tiger Sect had already bid, "One million low-grade Saint Crystals, our Holy Tiger Sect wants it."
Elder Li heard the Holy Tiger Sect's bid and his brows furrowed. This Holy Tiger Sect was truly audacious, speaking so brazenly at an auction. Did this Holy Tiger Sect truly consider itself equivalent to a Super Ascended Saint Kingdom or one of the Four Hegemons?
"Five million!"
As soon as the Holy Tiger Sect's voice fell, another voice emerged, clearly Ye Xuan bidding.
Whoosh~~
With this bid, everyone's attention immediately fell on Ye Xuan's private box. The sudden voice caused Old Ancestor Lei Hu of the Holy Tiger Sect to falter, his face turning even more ashen.
Indeed, this bid came at the most inconvenient time.
As soon as he had uttered his 'warning,' that person had spoken. Was this intentional?
Even if he didn't think so, how would the surrounding people perceive it? How could their Holy Tiger Sect maintain its standing among the various kingdoms and command respect?
Therefore, no matter what, this auction item absolutely could not be obtained by that brat.
"Ten million!"
Old Ancestor Lei Hu of the Holy Tiger Sect's face darkened, and he immediately placed a bid. However, he did not know who the person causing him to lose face was.
The conflict for the Holy Tiger Sect was thus evident, and their fate had begun its countdown.
However, Old Ancestor Lei Hu was completely unaware of all this.
"Fifty million."
A calm voice echoed from the private box. With the introduction from the elf clone, Ye Xuan had also learned the identity of the little creature in the glass cage.
Heavenly Horned Ant!
That's right, that little creature was none other than the Heavenly Horned Ant, one of the Ten Fiends, albeit a legendary existence.
"Heavenly Horned Ant, it sounds quite formidable."
Ye Xuan smiled slightly, but Feng Chen and the others were dumbfounded. Good heavens.
Was Master insane?
Spending fifty million low-grade Saint Crystals to bid for that ant without hesitation.
But... what did his master want with this ant?
"Sixty million."
Crack~
In the Holy Tiger Sect's private box on the other side, the teacup in Old Ancestor Lei Hu of the Holy Tiger Sect's hand shattered, his fury soaring to the heavens. That guy... how dare he!
"Seeking death, you bastard!!"
More than ten people in the Holy Tiger Sect's private box stared menacingly at the bidding area.
"One hundred million."
As soon as Old Ancestor Lei Hu finished speaking, Ye Xuan's voice echoed again. This time, however, it directly soared to one hundred million low-grade Saint Crystals, an exorbitant sum.
"Scoundrel!"
Old Ancestor Lei Hu of the Holy Tiger Sect's anger escalated. However, the sliver of rationality remaining told him that now was not the time for impulsiveness. At least not within the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce branch, otherwise, he would absolutely not be able to leave alive.
After all, if he offended the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, no one could protect him.
"Old Ancestor, please calm down."
Just then, it was clear that this sum was already becoming a burden for them. After all, they had made several bids earlier, and their resources were evidently quite strained.
"Everything will be dealt with after the auction ends. Then... there will be plenty of time to deal with that brat."
"Yes, Old Ancestor. This is the territory of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce branch. If we truly offend them, it will not be worth the loss."
Listening to their words, Old Ancestor Lei Hu's expression shifted, eventually becoming resolute. However, his gaze towards Ye Xuan's private box was filled with murderous intent. "Since that's the case, let that brat live a little longer."
"When the auction ends, it will be that brat's death day!!!"
