"Everyone, the next item up for auction is a silk robe, a high-grade sixth-rank magic artifact capable of withstanding a full-force attack from soone at the half-step to Creation Realm."
On the auction stage, the voluptuous auctioneer began her introduction.
Afterward, a maid dressed in the silk robe relaxed her body without adopting any defensive asures.
Imdiately, an elder from the Bright Moon Comrce Guild on the other side of the stage gathered his strength and struck the woman with a palm.
"Boom—"
The powerful palm wind landed on the woman, yet she remained unscathed, and the spiritual power completely dissipated.
The audience was shocked, witnessing the elder of the Bright Moon Comrce Guild at the half-step to Creation Realm unable to break through the vestnt robe.
The auction hall was buzzing with discussions as everyone took a keen interest in the robe.
Lin Chen squinted his eyes, longing for the silk robe. Having it would undoubtedly add another life-saving asure.
Although Lin Chen possessed countless cultivation techniques, martial arts skills, talisman inscriptions, and elixirs, his collection of protective magic artifacts was exceedingly rare.
"Everyone, feel free to bid; the starting price for this silk robe is ten thousand top-grade spirit stones, with each incrent not less than one thousand top-grade spirit stones."
The auctioneer spoke with a smiling face.
The lively discussion in the hall instantly quieted down; though many were interested in the robe, they were reluctant to bid such a high price.
Ten thousand top-grade spirit stones, equating to ten million high-grade spirit stones, was an astronomical number for most.
However, everyone understood that defensive magical treasures are rare, and despite the high price tag, soone would definitely purchase it.
"Ten thousand top-grade spirit stones!"
"Ten thousand and one thousand top-grade spirit stones!"
"Ten thousand and five thousand top-grade spirit stones!"
"..."
As expected, once the auctioneer’s words fell, the bidding comnced. In no ti, the price soared to fifty thousand top-grade spirit stones, five tis the starting bid.
Beyond fifty thousand, so people sighed and withdrew from the competition, as surpassing fifty thousand top-grade spirit stones exceeded the financial limits of many superpowers.
They deed the robe extraordinary but felt its value shouldn’t surpass fifty thousand top-grade spirit stones.
"Sixty thousand top-grade spirit stones!"
The bidding continued until suddenly a cold voice called out from one of the Earth Character boxes.
The crowd was amazed, wondering who could be so generous, suddenly raising the price to sixty thousand.
They looked over, realizing it was Tang Tianpeng. As one of the young masters of Tian Que City’s Four Great Families, his wealth was undoubtedly exceptional.
After Tang Tianpeng bid, so ceased competing, unable or unwilling to offend him due to their financial inferiority.
At this point, Tang Tianpeng looked around and saw no one raising their bids, a smug expression surfacing on his face.
With this robe, he would gain more confidence in the Four Great Families’ joint competition a month later.
"Sixty thousand and one thousand top-grade spirit stones!"
However, just as Tang Tianpeng believed the robe was his, a voice suddenly rang out, increasing the bid by a thousand.
Upon hearing this, everyone’s heads turned towards the source of the voice.
They saw that the voice erged from the one and only Heaven Character box, and faces quickly changed color.
Soone was attending the auction from within the Heaven Character box.
It was known that even the leaders of the Four Great Families might not possess the qualification to sit within the Heaven Character box.
At this mont, Su Yun opened the window of the Heaven Character box, directing a cold smile at Tang Tianpeng.
It was not that Su Yun loved attracting attention, but he had obtained permission from Lin Chen.
At this mont, the crowd noticed Su Yun inside the Heaven Character box. He had held a reputation for years as a wastrel, causing everyone to be montarily stunned.
However, when they continued to gaze at the Heaven Character box and saw the person behind Su Yun, they imdiately understood that the young man was the true owner of the box.
The crowd began speculating about Lin Chen’s background and identity, wondering who he might be.
"Seventy thousand!"
At this mont, Tang Tianpeng was utterly provoked by Lin Chen’s bid; his previous bid was intended to declare to everyone that he, Young Master Tang, definitely wanted the silk robe.
However, Lin Chen’s bid delivered a slap in the face.
Tang Tianpeng’s pride couldn’t bear it, thinking that halting bidding now would be akin to admitting he wasn’t as good as Lin Chen.
Nevertheless, after his previous clash with Lin Chen, Tang Tianpeng had sought others to investigate Lin Chen’s background.
Although Tang Tianpeng hadn’t uncovered Lin Chen’s background, he did find so information about Yu Weilian.
Yu Weilian arrived in Central State a few months ago, finally winding up in Tian Que City.
Yet, upon reaching Tian Que City, Yu Weilian wandered like a rustic entering town, faced setbacks, and was even bullied until Yang Minghui rescued her.
Therefore, Tang Tianpeng speculated that Yu Weilian’s familiar acquaintance with Lin Chen suggested they originated from the sa place.
Thus, Lin Chen pretended to be mysterious before everyone, the whole scenario with Chairman Deng was rely a trick.
"Seventy thousand and one thousand top-grade spirit stones!"
After Tang Tianpeng’s bid, Lin Chen promptly raised the bid again, but only slightly.
This instantly infuriated Tang Tianpeng, seeing it as clear provocation from Lin Chen.
"Ninety thousand!"
Tang Tianpeng gritted his teeth, declaring he didn’t believe Lin Chen possessed so much money.
"One hundred thousand!"
However, just as Tang Tianpeng thought Lin Chen couldn’t possibly have the spirit stones, Lin Chen bid again.
Although Lin Chen surrendered half of his treasures and spirit stones from the Void Continent to the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, the re spirit stones Lin Chen produced at random could definitely crush Tang Tianpeng to death.
Competing in spirit stones with Lin Chen, he could bankrupt Tang Tianpeng.
