Chapter 3130: Chapter 3125: Sixteen Kings_1
Not daring to delay, he immediately started calculating with all his heart and soul.
After about a dozen breaths’ worth of time, Lei Jie tremblingly said, "Senior, these things can probably be sold for two hundred million Taiyuan Pills."
Hearing this, both Ling Shuang and Chunyue couldn’t help but gasp in cold air, their eyes widening in shock.
Although they knew that Yang Chen’s status was extraordinary, they never expected that he would casually trade a huge amount of Taiyuan Pills.
They were very clear that even ordinary Boundaryless cultivators didn’t have this much wealth, let alone easily trade so many Spirit Stones.
What was the identity and strength of Yang Chen?
Lei Jie also wore a smile, extremely respectful as he asked, "Senior Yang Chen, would you like to take them now or wait until after the auction is over?"
"Let’s wait until after the auction is over." Yang Chen wasn’t in a hurry. It wouldn’t be too late to get the remaining Taiyuan Pills after the auction.
Lei Jie immediately led the way: "In that case, Senior, please come and rest at the Cui Xuan Pavilion first. The auction will be in half a month, and you can rest here for that time."
Yang Chen nodded, having no objections to this.
The scenery in Cui Xuan Pavilion was quite good. Cultivating here for half a month would pass in the blink of an eye.
And so, Yang Chen settled down in the Cui Xuan Pavilion temporarily.
Half a month was like an instant for cultivators.
As Yang Chen cultivated here, it felt like he had only closed his eyes briefly. By the time he opened them, half a month had passed, and the number of people at the auction had increased significantly.
Not everyone was like him, with the qualification to stay and cultivate in the Cui Xuan Pavilion. Most people could only sit downstairs.
Looking around, Yang Chen could see many cultivators among them.
Among them, there were quite a few Boundaryless cultivators with noble identities like him, who were also arranged in elegant rooms similar to his.
When most of the cultivators had arrived and the time was coming to an end, the auction officially began.
Yang Chen didn’t pay much attention to the auction process. He knew about the treasures being auctioned, but he was only interested in the Danyang Red Snowflower.
Just like that, he patiently waited.
There were a few enticing items at the auction that caused the cultivators to scramble and continue increasing the prices.
However, Yang Chen ignored them all, leaving Chunyue and Ling Shuang in the dark about his target.
In less than half a day, the auction finally reached its climactic stage.
This caused the calm and composed Yang Chen’s eyes to reveal a touch of excitement.
"Next, we have the first finale treasure of our auction. This treasure is called Danyang Red Snowflower, which everyone is aware of. As alchemy material, it is a top choice, extremely rare. Our Chamber of Commerce has spent a huge price to obtain it. The starting price is 10 million, with each increase in price no less than 1 million."
The host of the auction was the familiar Lei Jie. With just one sentence, the auction reached its climax.
"The Danyang Red Snowflower is a great item. As alchemy material, it is truly all-around."
"Hehe, as an Alchemist, I must compete for this Danyang Red Snowflower. I bid 15 million Spirit Stones."
"Haha, Master He, do you think you can get the Danyang Red Snowflower for just 15 million Spirit Stones? That’s naive. I bid 20 million."
"Master Ming, are you trying to compete with me?"
These cultivators argued incessantly, making it difficult to determine a winner.
Yang Chen, however, just watched from the sidelines, not in a hurry to make a move.
The price continued to soar from the initial 10 million, quickly rising to 25 million, 30 million, and 40 million!
When the price reached 40 million, the number of people continuing to increase bids finally dwindled. At this moment, a seemingly gentle voice tinged with a hint of coldness spoke up softly.
"This Danyang Red Snowflower, this seat wants it. Fifty million!"
When the conversation ended and the price reached 50 million, the noise at the scene gradually subsided.
"It’s Yanhe Celestial!"
"Why would Yanhe Celestial come to this kind of auction?"
"It seems he came specifically for this Danyang Red Snowflower."
"This... "
For a moment, the scene quieted down. The intimidating presence of Yanhe Celestial was undoubtedly astonishing. It seemed that just by speaking, nobody else was willing to raise the price and compete with him.
Of course, Yang Chen could also see that Yanhe Celestial had quite a reputation, but he had plans for the Danyang Red Snowflower and wouldn’t easily give in. He calmly said, "Ling Shuang, Chunyue, you may increase the price. Just call for 55 million."
"Young Master, are you sure you want to increase the price?" Chunyue asked in surprise.
Yang Chen rubbed his eyebrows, "Is there any problem?"
"This Yanhe Celestial is backed by the Lord of Dusk." Chunyue bit her lip, her eyes showing a hint of fear when mentioning the Lord of Dusk.
"And then?" Yang Chen’s expression was gentle, with a slight smile.
Seeing this, Chunyue and Ling Shuang were dumbfounded. But they soon remembered that Yang Chen was unaware of these matters.
Ling Shuang bit her lip and explained, "Young Master, do you know about the three Heavenly Kings and sixteen Earthly Kings within the Divine Night Sect’s Hundred Cities? The three Heavenly Kings are secondary members of the Divine Night Sect, and their cultivation levels are all outstanding among the Heaven-separated Realm. They are considered half-members of the Divine Night Sect, while the sixteen Earthly Kings are the sixteen strongest Heaven-separated Realm cultivators selected from among loose cultivators. These sixteen, although not considered members of the Divine Night Sect, practically control the size of a hundred cities and are known as the local tyrants under the Divine Night Sect."
"The Lord of Dusk is one of the sixteen Earthly Kings," Chunyue followed, the implication clearer than ever.
They were worried that Yang Chen wouldn’t be able to provoke the Lord of Dusk.
Yang Chen rubbed his eyebrows and revealed a hint of a helpless smile.
He appreciated the kindness Ling Shuang and Chunyue showed, but unfortunately, the Lord of Dusk was not someone he needed to fear.
"You two don’t have to worry about these things. Just bid," Yang Chen waved his sleeve.
Hearing that Yang Chen still wanted to increase the price, both Ling Shuang and Chunyue were dumbfounded. However, since Yang Chen had said as much, they had no objections and opened their mouths to call out the prices.
"Fifty-five million!"
Just when everyone thought that the dust had settled and the Danyang Red Snowflower was about to fall into Yanhe Celestial’s hands, Ling Shuang and Chunyue’s bid of 55 million Spirit Stones, caused everyone to show expressions of astonishment.
