Chapter 78: Auction

  Zhou Kai's aggressive bidding surprised everyone, people thought this kid was going to cause trouble, but looking at Zhou Kai's serious and solemn expression, as well as the unfamiliar boy beside him, they couldn't help but feel suspicious.

  "This week, Kai really intends to bid a high price for these three drops of Soul Cleansing Dew? It seems he's not joking around. This is truly bizarre." Many people have grown accustomed to the poor behavior of these six young men, often acting like rascals, but now that they're being serious, it's left everyone stunned and unable to react in time.

  "Bastard, doesn't my word count?! Ninety thousand gold coins are nothing, just consider it a gift for meeting the boss!" Zhou Kai shouted loudly, and seeing some people's suspicion, he suddenly became angry.

  Qin Wu Yao calmly smiled and said: "Young Master Zhou Kai is generous and open-minded, how dare I doubt him?"

  Everyone shrinks their heads, no one dares to offend this little rascal of the six calamities.

  Zhou Yufeng and Zhou Xuanying both smiled wryly and shook their heads, with Zhou Yufeng saying: "Look at this, they've spoiled these kids into what kind of state? This is still Yaxuan, yet they still don't know how to be low-key."

  "Truly astonishing, Zhou Kai is such a frugal child, yet he dares to buy such an expensive item for Wang Shi, it's really beyond my expectation."

  Zhou Yufeng knew that Zhou Xuanying deliberately shifted the topic, and under duress said: "How is Wang Shi's soul power?"

  "It won't take long, just give him another year and a half and that's it." Zhou Xuanming said absolutely.

  Zhou Yufeng was somewhat astonished, reaching the Mortal Realm with his soul meant he could now contend against a strong Jīngzhū! And how could a seventeen or eighteen year old strong Jīngzhū not shock people, this innate talent was monstrous!

  Zhou Yufeng didn't know why Zhou Xuanyu was so certain, but he looked forward to Wang Shi's performance more and more.

  "Maybe he can go very far!"

  ……….

  "Could it be that the young man they claimed to be their elder was actually cultivating his spiritual power?" Many people thought of this and looked at Wang Shi with surprise, wanting to see through him.

  "Let me try this person's soul power." There are some people who can condense their soul power, to put it simply, as long as they have a soul and practice, they can barely condense out a thread of soul power.

  "Huh?" Wang Shi suddenly felt several weak soul forces attacking him, and he couldn't help but frown, letting out a cold snort. A soul force twice as strong was released!

  In the silent and invisible space, it swept away, shattering their probing soul power in an instant!

  "Ah, what a powerful soul force! How is this possible?" The voices of astonishment rose one after another, those people's faces turned pale, with an expression of disbelief, but the soul force made it impossible for them to get close.

  "But still hasn't entered the legendary Mortal Realm." Some experienced individuals said, but their eyes were filled with apprehension and fear.

  "No wonder Wang Shi dared to oppose the young master of the Li family, it turns out he has some capital!" Some people who knew about the incident that occurred at the Ling family mansion a few days ago suddenly realized.

  "What? He's against the Li family?"

  "Yes, it was just a few days ago that this person severely beat Lian Yantao, leaving him half-paralyzed!"

  "Come on, brother, speak clearly!" Many people chimed in.

  ……….

  The whole venue was soon whispering, Wang Shi's reputation spread from one person to ten, and then from ten to a hundred, gradually becoming well-known.

  In this process, Lijia's face was gloomy, and from time to time, he looked at Wang Shi with anger and resentment, which was absolutely a stain on the Lijia family.

  Although Zhou Li knew about Wang Shi's ferocity, he had only heard about it. Now that he saw the tip of Wang Shi's soul power, he was shocked!

  "This King Shi is not simple at all." Zhou Li sighed in his heart.

  Yu Canglan was also stunned, shaking his head somewhat helplessly and apologetically said to Wang Shi: "It's actually Canglan who is blind, forgive me, little brother Wang Shi!" Although Yu Canglan had not underestimated Wang Shi before, he was extremely polite and lacked sincerity. As for Wang Shi, it was just a matter of courtesy.

  Wang Shi shook his head and said, "The young master of the city doesn't need to take it so seriously, it's also strange that I didn't show off my real skills."

  Yao Canglan saw Wang Shi giving him a step down, and was somewhat moved to say: "Wang Shi little brother, if you don't mind, just call me Big Brother Canglan, hehe."

  Wang Shi said, "Then I'll just have to obey, Brother Cang Lan. From now on, you can just call me Wang Shi." Wang Shi also sensed that Cang Lan's attitude towards him was gradually changing, which was something he was happy to see. In a big city like this, it was always good to make more connections, and even more so with the young master of the city.

  "Boss, we've decided on the three bottles of Soul Cleansing Dew. The six of us will split the cost evenly and consider it a gift to you." Zhou Chen and the others discussed it among themselves and came up with this result.

  Wang Shi was taken aback. This money should have been his own expense, but now these people were actually willing to pay him! He couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart.

  Zhou Qian also turned pale and said: "The limelight of our six little rascals can't be monopolized by Ke Zi alone."

  "It doesn't matter, I still have some savings."

  But Xiao Pangzi said with some pain: "Boss, I've had to skip going to Xinghua Building several times for you, ah, my delicious food!"

  Zhou Xuan suddenly slapped a round slap on Xiao Pangzi's round occipital bone and said: "You little guy is looking for a fight, isn't it!"

  "Ah yo."

  ……….

  "Hehe, I think most of you have come this time to see the finale item of Ya Xuan's collection!" Qin Wu Yao continued, then walked up to a stone table in the middle with black cloth covering it. Countless pairs of eyes were fixed on the black cloth, as if trying to penetrate it and take a peek at the secrets within.

  "I think everyone knows what the final item is, it's the treasure vase!" Qin Wuyao gently lifted the black cloth and said excitedly, her cheeks flushing red.

  The whole scene fell silent at once, and even breathing became heavy.

  All that can be seen is a thick and dense spiritual energy emanating from the platform, and upon closer inspection, it appears to be a gourd bottle the size of a palm, made of an unusual material that is neither jade nor gold, nor wood nor silver, with a glaze-like color, looking extremely delicate and intricate, small and exquisite, seemingly transparent.

  "This is the Treasure Vase, a high-grade spiritual artifact at the human level, capable of absorbing and refining all things, and can break through any attack. Of course, this is not possible now, everyone knows that if a spiritual artifact reaches the human level, it has the possibility of advancing in rank with repeated tempering. All of this is not impossible!" Qin Wuyao said temptingly, her big eyes flashing coquettishly.

  Hehe!

  This treasure bottle is not an attacking spirit tool, but a defensive spirit tool with great potential! Even the Zhou family, which already has a human-grade mid-level Longqing Sword, covets this defensive spirit tool!

  "This vase has a starting price of one million, and everyone can start bidding now? Each bid cannot be lower than the previous one by less than ten thousand!" Qin Wuyao announced very succinctly.

  One million! This is already the highest price this time!

  The entire venue fell silent, looking at the three major forces. Now, everyone present could only watch the show, and no one dared to bid against them!

  "Haha, if no one wants to be the first, then I'll do it. 15 million!" Lü Quán said, his eyes burning with excitement. The Lü family was in dire need of a human-grade spirit artifact, as they didn't have a single one. This time, they had to get it no matter what!

  "Two million!" Zhou Yufeng said unwillingly, and the bidding price rose by 500,000 yuan again!

  "Hum, 30 million!" Li Quan shouted loudly.

  "Four million!" The city master finally spoke up, saying calmly.

  "Five hundred thousand, heh heh, don't try to snatch it from me, this time I must get that treasure bottle!" Li Quan said with a shake of his head.

  "Heh heh, then let's have some fun with the Lian family." Zhou Xuanming said coldly. The two families were sworn enemies anyway, so there was no need to put on a good face for them.

  "Six million!"

  "Seven million!" Lü Quán's face was very gloomy, knowing that the Zhou family would set the price too high!

  Wow

  The whole scene was in an uproar, and the price shot up like a rocket, soaring rapidly. Before long, the price had already reached seven million!

  "It's indeed a major power of Qingcang City! Each and every one of them is wealthy and arrogant, this is something our small family can't compare to!"

  "Just watch it carefully then."

  …….

  Many people were amazed that the bidding had reached a sky-high price! Even some small families didn't have that much savings, for example, the Ling family. So, Ling Yu Xi was stunned as she watched from the side, where had she ever seen such a sky-high price?

  Just as Zhou Xuanming was about to raise his price, a hoarse voice drifted over:

  "One billion!"

  The whole scene fell silent in an instant!
