In the box, Jiang Chen and Murong Yuan were having a great time talking to each other.
Master Chu Yun had a sense of humor, and he was knowledgeable and experienced. It was fun to talk to him.
Although it was only the two of them, they didn’t feel embarrassed. There weren’t any awkward silences, either.
Suddenly, they sensed an aggressive energy approaching the door.
As soon as they sensed it, the door was opened by force. Mo Jianfei was standing there with a distressed look on his face.

Jianfei…

He strode over without giving Murong Yuan any chance to speak and pulled her towards the door.
He hadn’t glanced at Jiang Chen for one second during the whole process, nor had he spoken to the latter.

Hehe.

Jiang Chen wasn’t surprised. Anyway, he had achieved his goal. He found the events interesting.
Outside the auction hall, Mo Jianfei put his fiancée down on the roof of the chamber of commerce.
Under the moon, Murong Yuan gazed at her fiancé’s face, cold, but still handsome.

I won’t allow you to flirt with other men,
Mo Jianfei said in a low voice. He seemed serious, his look both firm and gentle.
Mu Rongyuan was in a daze, but somehow she felt happy. A smile appeared on her face. She threw herself into his arms and said tenderly,
All right. All right. It was father’s orders. You know that. You get jealous so easily.

A powerful energy interrupted the sweet couple.

Daughter, what happened?
Murong Xiong landed on the roof and asked, confused.
Not until then did Murong Yuan recall her father was still waiting to hear what had happened. She panicked and didn’t know how to answer him.
Mo Jianfei was very direct. He told her father exactly what had happened.
Pah!
Murong Xiong approached from some distance away and punched him, making Mo Jianfei kneel down.

Jianfei!

Murong Yuan ran to him and said,
Father, Jianfei did it for my sake. How could you punch him?


Mo Jianfei, you’re marrying into the Murongs. You should act for the Murongs’ benefit.

You intended to protect my daughter, your fiancée. That’s all right. I don’t have a problem with it, but you went about it in such a stupid way.

You could’ve just found an excuse and left directly. Although the master wouldn’t have been happy with that, he couldn’t do anything to you.

But you left and broke the door getting back in! Where did you get the guts to do that? You even needed my daughter to pay for your darn sword!
Murong Xiong ignored his daughter and swore ruthlessly.
With his identity and strength, talent was not important at all.
Mo Jianfei lowered his head in shame. The last sentence had especially hurt his self-esteem.
He thought to himself that the Murongs hadn’t even blinked at the 3,600 million, so 100 million was surely not a big deal to them.

Now I’ll have to apologize to him in person. Was that what you wanted to see?
Murong Xiong asked.
Murong Yuan came to herself from the blind admiration. She said in a low voice,
Jianfei, just apologize to my father.


Why was I wrong?
Mo Jianfei stood up, shouted, and left unexpectedly.

Hum.
Murong Xiong was very unsatisfied.

Father!


I wasn’t happy with you two being together from the beginning. It’s true that his master is a great Venerable, but that great Venerable is starting a school with almost 300 apprentices and many more reputed apprentices.


But Jianfei has potential!
said Murong Yuan.

Daughter! Potential, talent, these are nothing to mention at all. Only wealth matters.

You don’t have a great talent, but our family made you a Reaching Heaven State easily, didn’t they?

The fortune and opportunity that poor talented people get by risking their lives are nothing compared to the wealth of the Murongs!

Murong Yuan didn’t speak, since she actually agreed.

All right. You did a great thing for the Murongs today. Go home and take a good rest,
said Murong Xiong.
In the auction hall, the penultimate item was being auctioned.
It was a treasured sword.

It was cast by Master Wu Ya from the Casting Deity Peak, a class-five treasured weapon.

It was easy to authenticate a treasured weapon. It didn’t require anyone to go onto the stage to check. All swordsmen present could feel the sword’s power.
And it was from the Casting Deity Peak. All the swordsmen were shocked.
After intense bidding, the winning bid was 800 million upper-grade yuan stones.
Neither the last nor the first item had reached even half of the price of the Heaven Pulse Elixirs.
Lin Rong was proud.
By that time, people were leaving the auction hall.
The last auction item didn’t garner much attention, either. It was a small, willow-leaf-shaped bottle that fit in one’s hand. It was ivory, with no trace of impurities. Except for that, there was nothing special about it.

This jade bottle, according to the staff who brought it to the chamber of commerce, is from a relic. The chamber of commerce invited many masters to authenticate it, but all we know is that it isn’t average. As for what it’s for, we have no idea.

Not until recently did we learn that it was a half spiritual weapon.

Yin Shuang sounded tired, but she was trying her best to smile.

Half spiritual weapon?
Some didn’t understand what that meant.

There is a certain way to make a half spiritual weapon work.

For example, formation disks won’t work without a formation master’s techniques.

It’s the same with this jade bottle, but unfortunately, we don’t know the way to manipulate it nor its use.

However, this bottle is made from very special materials. Neither water nor fire can destroy it. It’s as hard as iron. Even if it was broken, it could amend itself automatically. That’s why we’re auctioning it here.

So, those who are interested in it should bid for it. Maybe one day, we’ll learn its use. It might turn out to be a treasure.

After Yin Shuang’s explanation, the audience tumbled to the realization.
The jade bottle was cheap, but there were only a few bidders. Except for big, powerful groups, average people didn’t have the energy to engage themselves in collecting valuable items.
In the deity-grade box, Jiang Chen took a deep breath to calm down from the shock. He said without showing any emotion,
Steward Lin, please bid for me.


Yeah?

So far, Master Chu Yun had only bid on the practice sword. Except for that, he hadn’t seen anything he was interested in.

Master, do you perhaps know what the jade bottle is for?
Lin Rong asked while pressing the button.
Then he realized how inappropriate it was for him to ask the question. He shouldn’t have asked.
The chamber of commerce didn’t really know the value of the jade bottle. They had assessed its value based on its material. If Master Chu Yun knew something about it, it would mean he was taking advantage of the chamber of commerce.
Jiang Chen didn’t answer him, and Lin Rong didn’t insist.
Others were surprised to see Master Chu Yun bidding. At the same time, they were wondering the same thing as Lin Rong.
After some reasonable bids, the price had soared to more than ten million.
Not many people wanted to buy an apparently useless object. And since Master Chu Yun was bidding, they all gave up.
In the end, Jiang Chen won the jade bottle for eleven million.
What a surprise to find this treasure in an auction!
Jiang Chen was smiling silently. Of course, he knew what the jade bottle was for.
If he was right, it was worth hundreds of billions of yuan stones.
