Protect Our Chief

"Indeed, fair bidding, based on one’s abilities." Someone from the Chuyun Liu Family’s private box spoke up, "Patriarch Shouzhe, although we have some rapport, I still cannot miss out on this item."

"Our New City Yuwen Family also wants this item, everyone should rely on their own abilities and not hold grudges." The decidedly "distant" New City Yuwen Family also spoke.

Wang Shouzhe’s lips curled into a slight smile.

Speaking first to seize the high ground was necessary. In this way, the ensuing bidding would be seen as them disregarding the Wang Family’s face, rather than the Wang Family disregarding theirs.

Just a little crafty thought, Wang Shouzhe did it to avoid unnecessary troubles.

Of course, if anyone truly lacked tact, the Wang Family wouldn’t fear making enemies.

"One hundred fifteen thousand."

"One hundred twenty thousand."

"One hundred forty thousand."

"One hundred eighty thousand, I need this item greatly for my brother to apprentice under Master Dan Ding," Wang Shouzhe loudly declared, "If you want to compete, my limit is three hundred thousand, whoever surpasses this price, I will concede."

Three hundred thousand?

Inside the private boxes, there was a burst of exclamations and discussions.

This price already far exceeded the normal price of Earth Mother Spirit Liquid by more than double. Similarly, it transcended their psychological limits.

The few foreign noble families were momentarily plunged into silence.

The Wang Family’s displayed wealth was somewhat frightening~

This newly rising Celestial Human Family is so wealthy?

Wang Shouzhe’s words undoubtedly sent a signal to them. Either surpass three hundred thousand to acquire this item or cease now. If they helped Hundred Treasures Pavilion to raise the price to three hundred thousand for the Wang Family, it would surely invite the Wang Family’s resentment.

All noble families would weigh the pros and cons. After all, their greatest wish was for their family to endure and continue endlessly; if they constantly offended others like a mad dog, they would eventually suffer a major setback.

"I, the Chuyun Liu Family, will give face to the Wang Family, no longer competing. I’ll think of other ways." The Patriarch of Chuyun Liu Family was the first to relent.

In the Academy, his son Liu Yunlang was trailing after Wang Luqiu eagerly; he could not ignore this point.

"Forget it, our Yuwen Family only came to try our luck. Since fate does not favor us, we shall cease."

"Haha, what fortitude and foundation from the Wang Family." From the Langyou Sun Family’s private box also came a hearty laugh, "We cannot afford to surpass three hundred thousand. Patriarch Shouzhe, do visit us at the Sun Family with Ancestor Longyan one day."

No one’s money comes swept up by the wind. This price, elsewhere, can buy two lots of Earth Mother Spirit Liquid. There’s no sense clashing with the Wang Family here.

The more ancient the noble family, the more numerous the descendants, and the more diverse the expenses. They will have their own estimation and consideration for anything.

"Eighteen thousand, sold. Congratulations to the Changning Wang Family for acquiring one bottle of ’Earth Mother Spirit Liquid.’" The auctioneer elder’s face was somewhat dark.

This time, due to the special demand for Earth Mother Spirit Liquid, he originally estimated it could be auctioned for a price above twenty thousand.

Yet, the Wang Family intervened abruptly, and it was sold for merely eighteen thousand.

This risky play was really fierce. Moreover, the Wang Family snatched it at a price over the market rate by three thousand, playing dangerously, leaving him stifled at the throat, neither erupting nor refraining, truly choking him.

"Thank you all for yielding," Wang Shouzhe loudly announced, "Next, except for the Purple Thunder Treasure Sword, the Wang Family will not bid on anything else. Whatever any family desires, let us bid fairly, relying purely on Qian Gold to speak, let there be no animosity."

This tone... so fierce!

However, it also indicates sufficient confidence.

Afterward, a few lower-grade magical treasures were auctioned off, then it was time for the highlight of this auction — Purple Thunder Treasure Sword.

This time, the auctioneer elder stated in advance: "Everyone, our Hundred Treasures Pavilion also has to eat; please bid as you must but refrain from speaking unnecessarily. Otherwise, the Hundred Treasures Pavilion will revoke your future auction qualifications."

With his warning issued.

All families bid more cautiously and dared not spew any "nonsense" again, lest they end up on a blacklist and face inconvenience.

After a fierce tug-of-war back and forth, ultimately, Wang Shouzhe acquired the middle-grade magical treasure, Purple Thunder Treasure Sword, for the price of fifty-nine thousand Qian Gold.

After today, the Wang Family, previously not low-rated within the Six Southern Guards, saw their renown and appraisal among Celestial Human Families rise once more.

With both an offensive and defensive top-grade magical treasure in hand, Ancestor Longyan’s combat power was now quite terrifying; give her a few years to solidify her cultivation, and she could spar with even average Celestial Human Realm Middle Stage individuals.

Unfortunately, what they didn’t know was that they continued to underestimate Ancestor Longyan.

Except for a few allies, most Celestial Human Families had no clue about Ancestor Longyan’s depths.

As early as the Spirit Platform Realm, she had already attained the Fourth Layer Bloodline Spirit Body, and now after advancing to the Celestial Human Realm, she had already awakened the Fifth Layer Bloodline!

Give her some time to consolidate, and forget average Celestial Human Realm Middle Stage opponents, she might even be able to contend with Faang You’an.
