The renowned dan-maker, Shi Yue, slowly regained his composure as he pondered the situation. "You're absolutely right," he concurred with a nod. "His extravagant spending speaks volumes. However, it's worth noting that the supreme dan beads are the centerpiece of this auction. If he fails to secure even a single bead, despite acquiring numerous other precious items, it could be considered a significant loss for him. Given the substantial sums he has already spent on prior items, he could easily outbid any…

Guan Wan-Shan's voice resonated through the hall as he introduced the next item, a mysterious and enigmatic stone known as the Cosmic Hades. He decided not to delve into redundant details, as he assumed most attendees were already familiar with this peculiar item. The stone had been stored in their archives for hundreds of years, during which countless attempts had failed to unlock its true value and uses. Therefore, he declared that there would be no starting price for this item and invited bids to…

The auction hall erupted into a cacophony of astonished voices. "Who on earth is this eccentric?" someone exclaimed. "Does he even understand how an auction works? He must be a wealthy madman!" Another voice chimed in, "Well, if this lunatic has set his sights on something, none of us can hope to outbid him. He's richer than Croesus! What can we do?" "Can we really stop him from spending his own fortune?" a third voice pondered. Ordinarily, when noble clans found themselves facing such a…

His eyes narrowed as he glanced up at the balcony where the bidding war was unfolding, his countenance clouded by a mixture of disappointment and veiled anger. For Mu Zi-He, this auction was a golden opportunity to secure the legendary Crystal Lotus, a precious relic he had earmarked for his soon-to-be-born grandson. In his…

With Guan Wan-Shan taking center stage, he promptly declared the commencement of the auction. As anticipated, the audience responded with pleasure, casting appreciative glances in his direction. This was a salesroom that had a deep understanding of the art of conducting business. "The first item up for auction," Guan Wan-Shan announced with a wave of his hand, "is a Jade Ruyi!" His gesture prompted a girl to step forward, bearing the Jade Ruyi on a cushion. Guan Wan-Shan continued, "This is a…

The man in black had aimed to leap higher than Cha-Eun Xiao, seeking a vantage point from which to launch a ferocious attack. However, Cha-Eun Xiao had detected the man's intentions and acted more swiftly than anticipated. Now, it was Cha-Eun Xiao who occupied the superior position. With no retreat possible for either combatant, their hands clashed instantaneously. A deafening "Bang!" echoed through the vicinity, and golden radiance erupted, dazzling those nearby and temporarily blinding them. The…

In the spacious salesroom, an assembly of distinguished figures had gathered. Four groups represented the royal families, fifteen groups hailed from martial clans, and the eight noble clans each had their own contingent present. Additionally, several active sects were in attendance, but what truly astonished the crowd was the presence of fifteen secretive sects, which rarely participated in public events. Nearly four hundred individuals had come to partake in this auction, and each held a lofty status…

Master Feng, in reality, was Cha-Eun Xiao in clever disguise. Once more, the Xiao Monarch had transformed his appearance, this time adopting the persona of Feng Zhi-Ling. With casual grace, he entered the salesroom, positioning himself against the second-floor handrail, gazing down at the crowd. His demeanor exuded an air of self-assured grandeur, earning him perplexed looks from those around him. However, he remained aloof, paying no heed to their curiosity. Master Guan Wan-Shan, the salesroom's…

"They didn't even have the chance to strike back. Every single one of them! The Cha Clan has already contacted the government. They have informed the officers that they encountered assassins, and the eight deceased bodies were sent to the guardian's department of the capital..." The shocking news hung in the air, and the room was filled with disbelief. The elderly man at the table couldn't contain his astonishment and anger. He slammed the table hard, rising to his feet. "Unbelievable!" The others…

Wan-Er furrowed her brow, mulling over her observations. "There might be a small oversight in my previous assessment," she admitted. "This individual may not be as formidable as we initially presumed. If he were truly that powerful, he wouldn't have left a trace on the grass. However, if he isn't as strong, it's disconcerting that our adversary possesses such unwavering determination." Her companions grasped the nuanced implication—strength was often synonymous with unwavering resolve. Consequently,…
