Chapter 296: The Super Auction Begins

"Have you heard? Not long ago, a Divine Rank Wind Spirit Clan descended upon Dongfang City!"

"Of course I've heard about such a big event. It's said Cao Zuo and Ji Yuan died on the spot. How tragic!"

"Yes, but Dongfang City actually survived in the end, and aside from Cao Zuo and Ji Yuan, not many people died!"

"I know that too. It's truly unbelievable. That Wind Spirit Clan crossed through a Space-Time Fissure, killed two Martial Emperors, and then just left!"

"Hmph, you guys don't know the whole story, do you? Although that Wind Spirit Clan Martial God only killed two Martial Emperors, it left behind a large number of A-Rank and S-Rank Fierce Beasts!"

"A-Rank and S-Rank? Wouldn't those be at the Martial King and Martial Emperor levels? With those beasts, how could Dongfang City possibly have been spared?"

"That's because a Martial Venerable Rank expert named Su Lang happened to pass by Dongfang City. He turned the tide and saved the city!"

"Martial Venerable Su Lang!? How come I've never heard of this person's name?"

"I haven't either. But according to the information I received, this person is likely a newly Advanced Martial Venerable expert."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Because this Su Lang was previously locked in a fierce struggle with Cao Zuo and the Ji Family. Almost everyone in Dongfang City knew about this matter."

"I see. When he was fighting those two, he must have been at the Martial Emperor level. He must have had a Breakthrough on the spot, which allowed him to slay the beasts left by the Wind Spirit Martial God and rescue Dongfang City from disaster!"

"Exactly. This Su Lang is truly formidable, saving an entire major city single-handedly!"

"By the way, did you know? Both the Martial Artist Alliance and the Hidden Family, the Jin Family, are looking for this Martial Venerable!"

"It's easy to guess why the Martial Artist Alliance is looking for this Su Lang. But the Jin Family… they actually sent people too? What are they trying to do?"

"Heh, the Jin Family, one of the three great Hidden Families, has been quite active recently. They don't act like a Hidden Family at all. Look at the other two families; they don't get involved in anything except Beast Tides."

"That's true. I wonder why the Jin Family is acting this way."

"You guys, be careful. Walls have ears. If the Jin Family holds a grudge, you won't even have a chance to beg for mercy."

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore…"

The people conversing all showed wary expressions and immediately changed the subject.

On the other side, Su Lang also withdrew his attention.

"The Martial Artist Alliance is looking for me. I hope Ren Tianfeng keeps his mouth shut, otherwise trouble will come knocking."

"And that Jin Family… The Ji Family is their subordinate Family. Them sending people to find me most likely means they come with ill intentions."

"As one of the Hidden Families, they should be pretty strong. But if they provoke me… heh…"

While pondering this, Su Lang turned his gaze towards the auction platform below.

By now, all eligible bidders had finished entering the venue.

A beautiful hostess in a sexy, form-fitting dress had also taken her place on the auction stage.

The hostess had a curvaceous figure and was quite pretty.

Su Lang's eyes roamed over the beautiful hostess, appreciating the view with great interest.

"Distinguished guests, welcome to this auction!"

The beautiful hostess opened her crimson lips, her sweet, delicate voice capable of making one's bones go soft!

"I suppose you all don't want to hear me ramble on."

"Next, we will begin the auction of the first item — 75,000 perfect quality 8th-tier elixirs, Kaiyang Turtle Marrow Pills!"

Accompanying the hostess's excited voice, a staff member brought the elixirs onto the stage.

A huge tray held countless Medicinal Pills!

The bidders below were instantly stunned by this sight, and even the high-level Martial Artists seated in the upper tiers were no exception.

8th-tier elixirs might not sound like a big deal.

But perfect quality elixirs, and in a quantity reaching seventy-five thousand… that's simply mind-boggling!

These are perfect quality elixirs! They are usually incredibly rare, yet so many have appeared now!

"These 75,000 perfect quality Kaiyang Turtle Marrow Pills will be divided into 100 groups."

The beautiful hostess announced the rules. "All one hundred groups will be auctioned simultaneously. Everyone can bid on any group they choose!"

Once the rules were announced, the crowd erupted in cheers, especially the Martial Artists in the lower tiers.

8th-tier elixirs are just right for them, but if all seventy thousand plus were auctioned together, they could never afford them.

But divided into one hundred groups, the pressure is much lighter.

"The starting bid for each group is 300 High-Grade Spirit Stones."

At this moment, the beautiful hostess said in a voice that stirred the soul, "Now, let the bidding begin!!"

And the instant her words fell, countless voices rose to place bids!
