"Older Jia, we must purchase this Heaven-class treasure at all costs!" Xuan Wuhuan said to the old man beside him with a serious expression.

“I agree with Young Miss. Although it might become expensive very quickly, Heaven-class treasures don't appear often in this world, and this one seems to be of high quality as well.”

"Du Hi, this treasure …"

“Of course, we will try and bargain! Although we may not win, we cannot just sit here and do nothing while there is such a treasure in front of us!” Du Hai spoke with a regretful face.

Although the Du Family had decent wealth, compared to the other distinguished guests in the VIP room, their wealth was insignificant. However, even if there was the slightest chance they could purchase a Heaven grade treasure, they would definitely give it a try.

The VIP room quickly became chaotic, and everyone there looked at the Heavenly Frost Dagger with lustful eyes.

Even if they had to use all their money and replace the food on their dining table with water for the next ten years, they felt that everything would be in vain if they obtained the treasure.

After the anticipation inside the auction house reached its maximum, Madam Chang spread her hands and spoke with a wide smile, "Then without further ado, let the bidding for this peak quality Heavenly Frost Dagger begin with 10 million gold!"

Although the price was outrageous, the people in the auction house started bidding like animals.

“11 million gold!”

"11.5 million gold!"

"13 million gold!"

Within minutes, the minimum price for the Heavenly Frost Dagger increased to 21 million gold.

"21 million gold ..." Yuan listened to the offer with a puzzled face, seemingly in disbelief.

He could not even imagine what he could do with that much wealth.

“25 million gold!” Xuan Wuhuan suddenly shouted.

The sudden high bid by Xuan Wuhuan slowed down the speed of the bidding briefly, but after a while, it returned to normal.

When the bidding reached 30 million gold, the pace eventually slowed permanently, as few individuals were able to make so much money.

“30.5 million!”

Of course, Xuan Wuhan, whose family belonged to the business circle, was one of these wealthy people.

“31 million!”

“31.5 million!”

After a few minutes of bidding from the same three people, a new voice suddenly echoed.

"40 million gold."

However, that fellow had never been in the VIP room since the beginning, and the people there wondered when this fellow had arrived.

“I-That's Qi Jiguang from Heaven and Earth Palace! What is he doing in this place ?! ” Someone there exclaims after realizing his identity.

"What?! Sky and Earth Palace ?! ” Although most people there were unfamiliar with the name Qi Jiguang, they all gasped in shock after hearing the name ‘Heaven and Bumi’ Palace.

“That man is at the top of the Spirit Grandmaster. He was considered a peak expert in the Lower Heaven. ” Xiao Hua muttered to Yuan, who seemed to be confused by the profound aura surrounding this Qi Jiguang.

"I wonder what it's like to fight someone as strong as him .." Yuan said in a low voice.

Xiao Hua looked at him with raised eyebrows. “As expected of a battle junkie. In this entire room, you might be the only one who thought of such a thing, Brother Yuan. But at your current cultivation, you won't even last a single second against a single finger from it. You will die instantly.”

"Hmm?"

When Qi Jiguang noticed the two of them staring at him, she also looked back.

Although there was nothing extraordinary about Yuan, he could feel an invisible yet formidable aura coming from Xiao Hua.

‘That little girl .. I can't see her cultivation base, but she is without a doubt an expert like me.’ Qi Jiguang thought to himself.

While his presence piqued his interest, he did not want to involve himself with other experts at his level for no good reason, as it could lead to unnecessary confrontation.

Many moments had passed since Qi Jiguang bid 40 million gold for the Heavenly Frost Dagger without anyone else trying to defeat him.

‘Sial! Why would someone like him have to appear here today?!’ Xuan Wuhuan cried inwardly. While he had the ability to continue bidding, he did not want to fight against someone from the Heaven and Earth Palace and inadvertently offended him, as it would destroy his family and business.

“Because there seems to be no more bidders, this bid for a Heaven-class treasure will be over! Congratulations to the honored guest for winning this wonderful treasure!” Madam Chang clapped her hands with a smile all over her face, as she had just obtained 4 million gold from this transaction alone.

After the auction ended, Xuan Wuhan said to Yuan, “If you need anything, meet me in Spring City. You can show anyone the medal I've given you, and they'll take you to me. I'm hoping to see you again later, Yuan. ”

The Du Brothers glanced at Yuan with narrowed eyes for a moment before leaving the place.

A while later, Na Ying approached them after the auction ended and said, "Honored guests, follow me to claim your sale."

Yuan nodded and began to follow him to the private room at the top of the auction house.

"Mrs Chang will be here in a while with your earnings, please relax in the meantime." Na Ying said to them as he poured them a cup of spiritual tea.

«You have gotten the following effects from consuming Phoenix Blossom Tea»

«Increase Qi Absorption Rate by 10% over 12 hours»

«Soul Strength +500 permanently»

Yuan obtained some stats after drinking tea.
