Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 741 - Auction
"Apologize to you? Are you even worthy?" Qinchuan glanced at Ming Qi and the others disdainfully.
As he spoke, Qinchuan walked toward the room. This place was protected by extremely strong prohibition laws, so even emperor-level strong people wouldn't dare to use their power at will.
He naturally didn't need to engage in a war of words with them here.
If the other party knew what was good for them, the matter could be dropped; if not, once the auction was over and they left the great hall, they would naturally suffer the consequences.
"You...how dare you, you scoundrel, to talk back to this princess!"
This Spirit Clan woman was none other than the youngest daughter of the current Spirit Clan chieftain, named Xue Luo.
The little princess trembled with rage, a far cry from her previous composure, quite resembling a bristling little sprite as she shouted at an elder standing next to Qinchuan: "Elder You, kick this despicable human brat out!"
Without even looking at the crowd, Qinchuan whispered, "Huo'er, Kaitian, the auction is about to start. Let's go!"
After that, he entered the private room directly, leaving Ming Qi, the little princess, Elder You, and the rest looking at each other in dismay.
"Er, little princess, you know the rules..." If the clan chieftain personally intervened, Elder You naturally wouldn't dare to disobey.
But when the little princess gave orders, it wasn't as effective. Elder You wasn't willing to offend an emperor realm strong person just for the little princess.
After all, Qinchuan and his people had not violated any rules within the auction house; even if the clan chieftain had been there, he wouldn't have carelessly thrown anyone out.
"Xue'er, don't be upset. Once the auction is over, I will personally take his life."
Ming Qi comforted her from the side.
Then, he took a hateful look at the private room Qinchuan had entered before heading into the adjoining room.
"Young master, you were too impulsive just now. Do you know that the person just now was Young Master Ming Qi, the seventh son of the Yin Clan chieftain, and that woman was the little princess of our Spirit Clan?"
Inside the private room, a Spirit Clan woman spoke softly to Qinchuan and his group.
She was a maid of this private room and had witnessed the conflict between Qinchuan's party and Ming Qi's group.
"Young Master Ming Qi and the little princess have already settled on a marriage alliance. By provoking both of them, you are simultaneously provoking both the Spirit Clan and the Yin Clan."
"It doesn't matter!"
Qinchuan waved his hand, unconcerned by the maid's warning.
He then continued, "By the way, if it's convenient for you, could you deliver a message to your clan chieftain from me?"
"The chieftain is high above, not someone a mere maid like me can see at will," the maid said softly, her voice ethereal.
"If you want to see our chieftain, you should first approach the manager of our auction house; he is the only one qualified to meet with the chieftain. However, I heard the chieftain has gone to Huan Yin City of the Yin Clan these days and hasn't returned yet."
"If that's the case, never mind then."
Qinchuan was here for the Green Lotus Jade Marrow.
The Green Lotus Jade Marrow was being offered by the Spirit Clan, and he had some connections with the clan. Initially, he wanted to go directly to the Spirit Clan chieftain to have him intervene and directly acquire the Green Lotus Jade Marrow.
However, since the chieftain wasn't present, he couldn't be bothered to put much effort into it; he would simply rely on his own abilities to secure it. free𝑤ebnovel.com
"Young master, you know our chieftain? The chieftain is extremely fond of the little princess, and our clan has a close relationship with the Yin Clan. If you hope to resolve the current trouble through the chieftain, I'm afraid it might be difficult," the maid said from behind Qinchuan and his group, waiting quietly for the auction to start, as she laughed, thinking that Qinchuan was seeking the chieftain to solve the current crisis.
"I don't know him," Qinchuan shook his head, but then added, "But he should know me."
Qinchuan didn't know whether the leader of the Spirit Clan had changed, which is why he said so.
"The young master jests," replied the maid. "Other than maintaining good relations with the Yin Clan, our clan leader hardly interacts with the Human Race. How could he possibly know the young master?"
The little maid didn't believe Qinchuan's words.
Qinchuan didn't bother to explain.
The great hall was abuzz with voices.
At that moment, a Spirit Clan woman with fluttering wings flew up to the Spirit Jade stage and announced, "Please quiet down, everyone. The auction is about to begin."
Whether it was the people in the great hall or those in private rooms, the noise quickly subsided as all eyes focused on the stage, full of anticipation for the auction.
Soon, the auction officially began.
"The first item for auction is a Netherworld Flower with a lifespan of one hundred thousand years!"
On the auction stage, a beautiful auctioneer lifted a jade box in her hand, revealing a stunningly delicate blood-red flower inside the translucent, sparkling box.
"What! A Netherworld Flower?!"
"This Netherworld Flower is a product of the Underworld and is greatly beneficial to cultivators of Yin Attribute Techniques. It may even allow those below the Sublime Saint Realm to break through an entire realm," the beautiful auctioneer described the Netherworld Flower's effects.
True to a Spirit Clan auction, the first treasure was this precious. Many cultivators of Yin Attribute Techniques stood up, their eyes intensely fixated on the Netherworld Flower, their hearts undulating with desire.
It should be noted that simply consuming the Netherworld Flower offered a certain chance of breaking through a realm level. If one could find a high-level alchemist to refine it into an elixir, it would guarantee a level advancement, and there was even a chance to improve by two minor realms.
Moreover, this was all on the premise of not harming one's foundation and potential. If one was reckless with their foundation and potential, the room for improvement was even greater, so how could these people not be moved?
"I bid one million Mysterious Crystals!"
"One million Mysterious Crystals to buy this medicine is a daydream; I bid two million Mysterious Crystals," retorted an old man's voice out of nowhere, doubling the starting price.
But in the next moment, a woman's voice chimed in, "Five million Mysterious Crystals!"
"I bid seven million!"
...
In the auction, there were at least tens of thousands of cultivators practicing Yin Attribute Techniques. The bidding was continuous, quickly driving the price of the Netherworld Flower to an astronomical figure.
In the end, the Netherworld Flower was won by that old man who had spoken first, and the final price astonishingly reached ninety million Mysterious Crystals.
Having been stuck at the Great Saint Late Stage for countless years, and seeing that his life was nearing its end with no hope of breakthrough, he decided to spend a great amount of money on this flower to refine a pill and forcefully break through to the Sublime Saint Realm.
"The second item for auction is also a type of Spiritual Medicine, known as the Blazing Herb, harvested from the heart of the endless Flame Marsh." On the stage, the woman once again presented a jade box, which contained a divine plant engulfed in flames.
"This divine plant has effects similar to the Netherworld Flower, and even surpasses it in age and the potency of Essence Qi it contains, promising even greater benefits to Fire Element practitioners."
"Amazing items indeed! Worthy of the Spirit Clan!" The cultivators of other Attributes had watched with envy as the Yin Attribute practitioners vied for the Netherworld Flower.
Now that the Blazing Herb was up for auction, myriad Fire Attribute cultivators immediately perked up.
"Ten million Mysterious Crystals!" Having witnessed the frenzy over the Netherworld Flower, the starting bid for the Blazing Herb began at ten million.
This cultivator had just called out a bid of ten million Mysterious Crystals.
The next moment, a calm voice suddenly rose from above everyone's heads.
"Ten thousand Purple Mysterious Crystals!"
