Extreme Almightiest Young Master-Chapter 2016 - 1998: The Auction现场

Now Qin Kun couldn’t believe his ears. He had a general idea of the family’s situation. He originally thought bringing out three hundred thousand would already be a big deal, but he didn’t expect they actually brought out five hundred thousand. This really exceeded his expectations!

This number was astronomical. It’s important to know that even an average Sect couldn’t gather such a sum. The Qin Family accumulated this over more than a thousand years. If he estimated correctly, this should be all of the Qin Family’s capital. So, he was really shocked at that moment, not expecting the family would go to such lengths for Fang Yan!

"Young master, you heard right, five hundred thousand Spirit Stones... there really isn’t anything left in the family..." Qin Li still felt Qin Kun thought it was too little and quickly explained.

"Great! Great Elder, go back and tell the Family Head, say this was done beautifully!" Qin Kun confirmed he hadn’t misheard and immediately spoke cheerfully. With these five hundred thousand Spirit Stones, plus the ones gathered by the Wu Family, it should be enough for Boss to use in the auction.

Upon hearing that the Qin Family gathered five hundred thousand Spirit Stones, Wu Shan’s face immediately turned very displeased. He knew this was definitely an astronomical figure and looked at Wu Fang to ask, "Great Elder, how much did our Wu Family gather?"

His tone was very anxious because if the Qin Family’s amount was more than the Wu Family’s, where would that leave his pride, and what would Boss think? Wu Fang, upon hearing Wu Shan’s inquiry, immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said to Wu Fang, "Young master, our Wu Family has gathered five hundred and thirty thousand Spirit Stones."

He was truly relieved now. He hadn’t known how much the Qin Family gathered before, so he was uncertain. Now that he knew, he could finally relax. However, he was also grateful; luckily, the family sold some not-so-important Dharma Treasures, otherwise, they wouldn’t have gathered more Spirit Stones than the Qin Family, which would have been embarrassing for the Wu Family.

"Good, very good!" Wu Shan was extremely excited after hearing Wu Fang’s reply. He immediately took the bag holding the Spirit Stones from Wu Fang and turned to Qin Kun, saying, "Let’s quickly go find Boss!"

"...Okay!" Qin Kun originally thought they would surpass the Wu Family, but it turned out they still fell short by thirty thousand. But now that things were like this, there was nothing he could do but agree. He then left with Wu Shan to find Fang Yan, and the auction was about to start; he didn’t want to delay Fang Yan’s matters.

As Qin Kun and Wu Shan left the room, Qin Li and Wu Fang glanced at each other and finally laughed. The two of them already had a good relationship, and this time they were both working for Fang Yan. Although the amount differed by thirty thousand, they both believed Fang Yan would see their sincerity, and that was enough.

"Wow, I didn’t expect the Qin Family to gather five hundred thousand, how close!"

"Our Family Head guessed your family would do this, pushed to the brink, but still short by thirty thousand."

"You don’t understand; our Wu Family took out some very precious Dharma Treasures to sell to gather this amount, otherwise, we definitely wouldn’t have reached five hundred thousand!"

"Haha, our Qin Family is the same, but with both of our families doing this, we should be able to help Fang Yan, right?"

"I think so, as long as it doesn’t delay Fang Yan’s matters, it’s fine."

"Let’s go, let’s have a drink."

"Just right, I’m tired too..."

...

Qin Li and Wu Fang laughed as they left together. Both of them were very happy. Two families gathering a million Spirit Stones was something unimaginable in ordinary times. However, they didn’t care about the Spirit Stones; they cared about whether Fang Yan would successfully acquire what he wanted. So, instead of rushing back to their families, they found a tavern, drinking while awaiting news from the auction.

On the other side, Qin Kun and Wu Shan ran to Fang Yan’s room and saw Fang Yan sitting and drinking tea. They immediately dashed to Fang Yan’s side.

"Boss, our Qin Family gathered five hundred thousand Spirit Stones!"

"Boss, our Wu Family gathered five hundred and thirty thousand Spirit Stones!"

Qin Kun and Wu Shan both spoke at the same time, truly too happy to collect these million Spirit Stones, which should be enough to purchase what Boss needed.

Fang Yan was taken aback upon hearing Qin Kun and Wu Shan’s words. He hadn’t expected the Qin and Wu families to gather such an amount. But according to his own estimates, this indeed comprised all the capital of both families. Thinking about how these families had taken out all they had, Fang Yan was a bit moved.

But he quickly understood the Qin and Wu families’ intentions, shook his head with a smile, and said, "Once this is over, I should find some time to meet your Family Heads." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Sure, no problem!"

"No problem here either!"

When the two heard Fang Yan say this, smiles appeared on their faces. They felt that spending a million Spirit Stones was really worth it. Fang Yan wanting to meet the Family Heads meant what? How could they not guess? It meant the Qin and Wu families had completely attached themselves to Fang Yan, which was truly great news for both Prominent Families!

Seeing the two so happy, Fang Yan waved his hand and said to them, "Let’s go to the auction!"

The three of them left together, heading to the auction house. Upon arriving, Fang Yan asked for a private room directly to make things easier. The rule was that only a private room could be used for bidding on items over fifty thousand Spirit Stones. Since the auctioned items were certainly above this price, he didn’t hold back at all.

With the guidance of the staff, the three of them went into a private room, looking at the whole auction venue.

The auction house wasn’t very large, with only two floors, resembling a stage. However, the ground floor was all seating, and there was a row of about a dozen private rooms upstairs. The auction hadn’t started yet, so the three of them sat in the private room, chatting.

"Boss, what exactly are you bidding on? Can you tell us now?"

"Yeah, Boss, we’re really curious!"

Qin Kun and Wu Shan looked at Fang Yan, asking curiously. Up to now, they couldn’t guess what Boss was bidding on. They’ve already seen the auction list, and truly couldn’t figure out what Fang Yan had his eye on.

"You’ll know when the time comes." Fang Yan looked at them without directly answering and said with a smile.

Instantly, Qin Kun and Wu Shan were speechless. They didn’t expect Fang Yan still wouldn’t tell them, making them even more interested in Fang Yan’s target. The two picked up the auction list and started discussing and guessing Fang Yan’s intentions.

"This one?"

"Doesn’t seem like it. What’s Boss need elixir for!"

"This one?"

"Also doesn’t seem like it. Boss has the Heaven Defying Blade, he shouldn’t need a Dharma Treasure."

"This one?"

"What even is this thing? Nobody knows. Didn’t you see there weren’t any appraisals? How could Boss want this!"

...

But after going through it all, they still couldn’t guess Fang Yan’s intentions. Anyway, with nothing else to do, the two of them ran off to the side to continue their research.

What they didn’t know was that Fang Yan was standing by the window of the private room, and had already communicated the relevant content using Divine Sense with Li Xing. Moreover, Li Xing was also in the private room on the second floor. ...

An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the auction was starting in earnest.

A female auctioneer in her thirties with a curvy figure walked up to the stage. She first bowed to everyone, then said, "Hello everyone, I’m Wanrong, the auctioneer for this event. I hope everyone can acquire the items they desire today. Let’s skip the chit-chat and proceed directly to the first item for auction!"

As soon as her words fell, she lifted the red cloth covering a table on the stage. Instantly, a cold gleam appeared, and even a faint murderous aura surrounded the weapon. At this point, Wanrong picked up the weapon and addressed everyone.

"This is the first item up for auction, its specific name is unknown. The owner acquired it from a very special place, and the auction house has verified it as an exceptional Dharma Treasure. I believe most of you are aware of this. If handled well, this weapon could absolutely become a deadly instrument, with boundless power! The starting bid is two thousand Spirit Stones, with each increase not less than one hundred Spirit Stones."

Auctioneer Wanrong’s voice was captivating, and her voluptuous figure kept many people staring with wide eyes. The allure of a mature woman cannot be compared to a naive young girl. Listening to Wanrong’s words, the men present had their eyes turning red, and some even started gulping, showcasing Wanrong’s exaggerated allure!

Even Qin Kun and Wu Shan in the private room were staring wide-eyed. Being novices, they found it really hard to resist such feminine allure, their eyes scanning Wanrong up and down, wishing they could strip Wanrong of her clothes with their gaze...

The auction house’s owner is remarkable!

Watching this, Fang Yan made this assessment in his mind. Being able to seize the attention of these cultivators is not something just anyone can do, and finding such a stunning woman to serve as auctioneer is a feat beyond ordinary intelligence! He was now curious about who the auction house’s owner was, to come up with such a method to captivate bidders.

With his discerning eye, he could easily tell that most people in the auction house were there to see the female auctioneer, with only a few genuinely interested in bidding. But even so, it’s already more than enough. Such business acumen ensures everyone comes to auction here, illustrating how well the auction house was thriving.

However, that was just a fleeting thought for him. He didn’t really care about such things, so at this moment, Fang Yan was too lazy to look and instead communicated with Li Xing via Divine Sense.

"Senior brother, don’t rush to bid on that item later, wait for my command."

"Alright, no problem. Just curious, what do you want that thing for?"

"You’ll know once the auction is over. By the way, senior brother, how many Spirit Stones have you prepared?"

"You gave me just under two million, and I have more than four million myself. Should be enough for that item, right?"

"You’ve got more than four million Spirit Stones?"

"Is it strange? I’ve traveled extensively in the Cultivation World, accumulating more than four million Spirit Stones is quite normal..."

...

The two casually chatted, passing the time while discussing auction-related matters. Meanwhile, bidding had already commenced in the auction hall...
