Chapter 624: The Legacy of the Supreme! The Key to the Secret Realm!

"5.5 million!"

"6 million!"

"6.3 million!"

"......"

The grand lobby of the Highton Hotel.

In her cage, Elena's face was pale, yet the bidding price for her kept soaring.

Xu Jingming, seated, frowned at Eva's sudden outburst and asked:

"Why buy her?"

"She has a great treasure!"

Eva's excited voice rang out, "But whether it's truly the thing I think it is, I'll only know after close contact."

A great treasure?

Eva was a rare intelligent lifeform, her database rivaling an ocean of data.

If she said it was a great treasure, it was almost certainly true.

So Xu Jingming didn't hesitate—he swiftly entered his bid:

"7 million!"

"Huh?"

Ling Shuang glanced at Xu Jingming with mild surprise.

But remembering he was in the prime of his vitality, her red lips parted slightly—then closed without a word.

"7.3 million!"

"7.4 million!"

"7.6 million!"

"......"

Though all these people were psychics, they had long lost the drive to cultivate further.

No need to buy cultivation resources—all their earnings went straight to indulgence.

Each one was loaded.

Xu Jingming's 7-million bid vanished instantly, drowned out by higher offers without pause.

"Seat 11, 10 million!"

As the price was still climbing past 8 million, this sudden leap of 2 million silenced the entire hall.

"That's old Sam."

"Sh*t! How much has this old bastard stolen from the Silver Moon Guild?"

"Forget it. Can't compete with him."

"......"

Seat 11 belonged to Sam, the Silver Moon Guild's purchasing supervisor—the same man who had made the first bid.

At his seat now:

Besides the four cat-girls he'd already bought, three or four more girls had been added.

A mix of plump and slender, each with a distinct style.

Seeing Sam had bid, most in the hall abandoned any thought of bidding further.

Ten million Star Credits was already an extremely high price.

Even the Princess of the Westland Kingdom wasn't worth this much.

More importantly, no one wanted to cross this man.

Sam himself was only fifth-rank, but he was guarded by two sixth-rank peak bodyguards.

Most here were only fourth- or fifth-rank.

"Ten million once!"

"Any higher? This Elena's auxiliary psychic ability is said to extend lifespan."

"Ten million twice!"

Mike's face beamed as he kept talking.

Though ten million Star Credits was already excellent,

he continued emphasizing Elena's advantages, hoping to push the price higher.

"Seat 23, 15 million!"

Just as everyone assumed Elena would sell at this price, another new bid rang out:

"15 million! Any higher?" Mike's eyes lit up, shouting immediately.

Sam, seated, frowned and bid again: "20 million!"

But the moment he bid, the system's announcement sounded again: "30 million!"

"30 million Star Credits! Who is this guy, so rich?"

"Seat 23—let me see."

"Whoa! What an exquisite woman! Her face, her figure—unbelievable!"

"......"

Dozens of eyes turned toward Xu Jingming's direction.

When they saw Ling Shuang in her black evening gown, everyone's breath caught.

Their gazes burned with heat.

Sam, rising angrily from his sofa to glare over, was also momentarily stunned.

His anger vanished instantly; his eyes narrowed as he shouted at Xu Jingming:

"Sixth-rank mid-level psychic—no wonder you dare compete with me."

"But you don't know I'm the Silver Moon Guild's supervisor!"

"Outside this hotel, I have two sixth-rank peak bodyguards!"

"One word from me, and they'll storm in and make sure you never see tomorrow's sun!"

After this threat, his tone softened:

"Still, I'm a kind man."

"Once the ceremony begins, if you willingly bring your woman and Elena over to me—"

"I'll let you walk away unharmed."

After speaking, he sat down contentedly without waiting for Xu Jingming's response.

He believed that under the threat of the Silver Moon Guild and two sixth-rank peak psychics, this man would make the wisest choice.

"Kind, huh? I'll show you what true kindness is later!"

Xu Jingming's face turned icy; his gaze at Sam was already that of a dead man.

"30 million once!"

"30 million twice!"

"30 million thrice! Sold!"

"Congratulations to the gentleman in Seat 23—you've successfully purchased Elena!"

Normally, Elena would fetch around 10 million Star Credits at best.

30 million Star Credits was an unparalleled high price!

Clearly, Mike was ecstatic.

Amid his shrill voice, the gavel came down.

Elena, still wearing her electronic shackles in the cage, was led out by attendants to stand before Xu Jingming.

"Sir, this is the item you purchased for 30 million Star Credits."

He handed over a card reader.

"Ling Teacher, my bank account doesn't have enough—could you cover it for me?"

Xu Jingming's bank account held less than 300 million Great Xia Coins—less than 30 million Star Credits after conversion.

Ling Shuang said nothing—she simply pulled out her own bank card.

The men beside them stared, dumbfounded.

Eating soft rice like a tough guy!

Damn! You can actually do this?

"May the God of Desire be with you."

The attendant, pleased to see the bank transfer confirmed, bowed with a religious gesture and handed over a controller:

"This is the controller for Elena's electronic shackles. It has three settings, allowing you to adjust the intensity of the electric shocks."

"The final button deactivates the shackles entirely."

"We strongly advise you not to press the last button until after final conditioning."

After giving these instructions, the attendant bowed respectfully and withdrew.

Xu Jingming instinctively looked at Elena.

She truly was beautiful—the Westland Princess—and her figure was exquisitely proportioned.

Due to prolonged flight, she looked exhausted and frail.

Precisely because of this, it more effectively stirs a man's protective instinct.

But to Xu Jingming, who had Ling Shuang by his side, it held not the slightest appeal.

What truly interested him was the great treasure Eva had mentioned.

"I've brought the person—where's this great treasure? Confirm it quickly," Xu Jingming asked inwardly.

"Already confirmed. Did you see the bracelet on her wrist? That's the great treasure!"

A thrilled voice came from Yi Wa.

Xu Jingming turned his gaze and indeed saw a jade-green bracelet on Ailian's right wrist.

Yet the bracelet appeared extremely plain, even lacking any protective talisman's energy ripple—as if it were merely an ordinary object.

Xu Jingming was about to ask when Yi Wa continued:

"Do you remember the stone the ninth-rank cultivator used to open the Qingfeng Secret Realm a month ago?"

"This bracelet is the same—it's also a relic of a supreme being from the Second Era, capable of opening a secret realm!"
