The noble lady was not angry, and patiently replied, "Fifty billion can allow you to eat chocolate for a lifetime."

Tongtong shook her head directly and said, "Then I won’t buy it. I’ll ask Master to buy me more chocolate. I can soon learn the array map she got for me."

"You mustn’t regret it then, and you must tell your Master that it’s your decision not to take it."

"Okay!" Tongtong nodded obediently.

With that, the noble lady looked up at Liu Zixuan and the young man, saying, "Then we’re withdrawing." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

The young man smiled smugly at Liu Zixuan, "Brother, are you still continuing?"

"This... is indeed a sky-high price item, but because of its value, I should strive to obtain it!" Liu Zixuan smiled and said, "If no one else continues to bid higher, then this Star Map and Star Constellation Scripture will be mine!"

"You!" The young man thought, the fifty billion was definitely a terrifying astronomical figure within those vast sects and families, even those with commercial chains might not dare to easily put up this fifty billion.

Thinking that with Jade Maiden Sect withdrawing, Liu Zixuan would also retreat in the face of difficulties, but never expected him to ignore this astronomical price and still proceed to bid higher!

Flushing red, he unwillingly asked, "Do you have fifty billion?"

"If I didn’t have it, I wouldn’t bid this way. Moreover, if I didn’t, the Ghost Market would certainly not spare me, then this treasure would still be yours." Liu Zixuan shrugged his shoulders and looked at the beautiful Wen Shan, "Can it be announced now?"

Wen Shan, the beauty, was just stunned moments ago. This wasn’t even the grand finale item yet, but it reached a sky-high price of fifty billion. After collecting herself for a moment, she picked up the gavel and hit the gong, "This auction item has been won by this gentleman. Due to the large amount, please remain for a moment after the auction concludes!"

"Alright!" Liu Zixuan smiled and sat back down.

The young man shot Liu Zixuan a deep look, imprinting his clothing and appearance in his memory, planning to see Liu Zixuan’s true face when they left, to find out who was capable of coming up with such a sky-high price.

"Imposing, truly imposing, fifty billion!" Tiger counted on his fingers, "Forget fifty billion, even five billion is enough for me to be extravagant for a lifetime!"

"Honestly, even for someone like me who doesn’t care about money, fifty billion seems ridiculously excessive." Jiang Yunxuan followed with a mutter.

Liu Zixuan grinned, "For people like us, what’s the use of money in daily life, huh? Naturally, it’s to be used for something useful."

Fifty billion, for Liu Zixuan, isn’t too much to say but also isn’t too little.

Even the profits from creating beautiful lingerie couldn’t sustain Liu Zixuan’s extravagance. Moreover, he now has more people around him, which means the expenses will be significant, and spending this money might leave him poor for a while.

However, Liu Zixuan firmly believes that as he becomes stronger, wealth... will become easier to obtain.

At this point, Wen Shan, the beauty, cleared her throat and stood in the center of the auction stage again, smiling at everyone, "As everyone knows, the Mandarin Duck Pavilion’s rules classify auction items into four levels. The most ordinary level is replaced with plain colorless flowers, while the intermediate auction items are replaced with rose flowers, and top-tier auction items are replaced with peony flowers."

Upon hearing this, Liu Zixuan frowned slightly, "Listening to the beauty’s words, it seems the grand finale this time surpasses the existence of peony flowers!"

"What could be more impressive than top-tier items then?" Tiger asked.

"Yin Yang Flower, also known as Mandala!"

During the auction at the Mandarin Duck Pavilion in the Ghost Market in Ghost Wood City, Zhou Nian explained to Liu Zixuan that most items in the Mandarin Duck Pavilion are of the rose and peony flower levels, occasionally there are colorless flowers.

However, the least frequent ones are of the Yin Yang Flower level, the top-tier auction items!

As Liu Zixuan expected, just after he finished speaking, Wen Shan, the beauty, smiled and announced, "This time, the grand finale auction item of the Ghost Market surpasses the peony flower and is at the Mandala level, a top-tier auction item making its appearance for the first time in nearly a hundred years!"

This statement caused an uproar among the audience.

The first top-tier auction item in nearly a hundred years!

This is something many Martial Artists may never have the chance to witness in their lifetime!

Some Martial Artists knew, while others didn’t know what the auction item was, but just the word "top-tier" was enough to arouse everyone’s curiosity. Even if they couldn’t obtain it, it would still be worthwhile just to feast their eyes on it.

Jiang Yunxuan fixated his gaze ahead, "What amazing treasure could drive people so crazy!"

Liu Zixuan smiled mysteriously but didn’t speak.

"Please present today’s grand finale auction item!" Wen Shan, the beauty, said, while two other beauties came out carrying a golden tray, next to which a golden flower was placed, showing off the mystical allure of the Mandala flower!

"Some Martial Artists present may already know that a martial arts tournament held once every sixty years is going to take place after the festival, and today’s auction item is related to the tournament!"

Wen Shan, the beauty, took out a token from the golden tray and displayed it to everyone, "This token is called the Guiding Order, and I presume I don’t need to explain what it does!"

"Of course, we know!"

"This is akin to the Heaven-Ascending Stone; even if one loses in the martial arts tournament, possessing such a token offers a chance to receive the Hidden Sect family’s blessings and thereby attempt to break through to the Emperor Realm!"

"Hurry up and auction it!"

Amidst the crowd’s clamor, Liu Zixuan simply explained to Tiger and others the upcoming martial arts tournament held once every sixty years.

Tiger’s eyes sparkled as he solemnly said, "Emperor Realm, it’s Emperor Realm."

Everyone could see, Tiger was very keen on that token! Because his realm was lower, and he didn’t have the insight like Liu Zixuan and others, this token might be his only choice to attempt reaching the Emperor Realm.

Jiang Yunxuan patted his shoulder, "Don’t worry, I’ll help you grab that token in a while."

"Just let it go, there’s only one, it should go to Brother Xuan or you first." Tiger forced a smile and said.

Liu Zixuan shook his head, "I don’t need this."

"I don’t need it either; when I break through to the Peak of the Imperial Realm, my family will help me strive for the Emperor Realm, so everyone should help you grab it in a while!" Jiang Yunxuan said with a smile.

Tiger hesitated for a moment, "Then I have to thank you all!"

"Not only is the starting price of top-tier auction items high, but the bidding price is high as well, and there is an additional rule, which is that you can use treasures of considerable value to barter." Wen Shan, the beauty, repeated the rules, then shouted loudly, "The starting price is ten billion! The minimum bid increase is not less than three hundred million! The auction begins!"
