Chapter 2842: This Kid Is No Problem

Several people protected A Jiu in the middle, shouting all the way as they walked toward the front of the crowd.

"Excuse me, make way, Young Master Chen wants to bid."

"Fellow Daoist, please step aside for a moment."

Although the scene was crowded with people, with the help of several individuals A Jiu still managed to reach the front of the crowd.

Someone also recognized A Jiu's identity, knowing he was the mysterious young master who had successfully won the top bid at the Eight Immortals Pavilion earlier.

For those with background and wealth, the crowd was also willing to make way.

After all, there were so many people present, most of whom were just there to join the fun.

Many people knew their own limits; with just that bit of wealth they possessed, success was essentially impossible, so only a handful of people were capable of bidding.

Ye Zhangqing was also only auctioning off a table of spirit stones; frankly, the odds were too slim.

As for those capable of participating in the bidding, the crowd would naturally give them a path; this was hardly a big deal.

Walking all the way to the front of the crowd, the Qi Family Elder Ancestor saw Chen Jiu and also cast his gaze upon him.

As for this kid, the Qi Family Elder Ancestor had a deep impression, but even now he still hadn't uncovered what this kid's background really was.

In the Immortal Realm, there is no major clan with the surname Chen; as for Beyond the Heavens, he also looked into it, but the difficulty was too great, so he still had no definite information for the time being.

However, no matter how you say it, being able to produce 1,100,000 immortal crystals to buy that table of food certainly meant he was no ordinary person.

Not only the Qi Family Elder Ancestor, but at this moment even Tianlin on the high platform noticed A Jiu.

A flash of odd color crossed his eyes, and he thought, This kid has come again.

Regarding A Jiu, Tianlin and Ye Zhangqing had chatted before, and their conclusion was that this person was strange.

In the Immortal Realm and Beyond the Heavens, there is no such figure; it's as if he suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

If there's nothing fishy behind this, then that would truly be strange.

However, these matters need not worry them; the Heavenly Palace will handle them on its own.

Moreover, Ye Zhangqing also said that the Heavenly Palace Celestial Official had already begun to suspect him.

Given the Heavenly Palace's abilities, it shouldn't take long before they can investigate him thoroughly.

But who would have thought, isn't the Heavenly Palace already investigating this kid? How did he end up showing up here?

Could it be that the Heavenly Palace hasn't taken any action yet?

After the alarm clock indulged in random thoughts, Tianlin didn't cause any extra trouble; seeing that the time was about right, he immediately spoke up to signal the start of the auction.

The bidders were still just those few people; others didn't even place a bid.

Anyway, there was hardly any chance left, so they simply stopped making fools of themselves.

The price kept climbing, quickly reaching one million immortal crystals.

At that table in the Eight Immortals Pavilion the day before yesterday, they had snapped it up for 1,100,000 immortal crystals; this time, the price will surely only go higher.

Surprisingly, Chen Jiu never placed a bid, which made many people suspicious.

Naturally the most anxious were the few youths around him; at this moment the leader, wearing an embarrassed smile, asked.

"Young Master Chen, it's at one million immortal crystals."

"I know."

Hearing that, Chen Jiu's complexion turned grim, and he replied irritably.

Today he really had something to do; he had made plans yesterday, but as soon as he stepped out today, he encountered this situation.

No, the Human Race must be toxic; it's as if they somehow knew his plan in advance, making him feel awful.

Since entering the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens of the Human Race, every time A Jiu just made a plan, it would be sabotaged for no reason.

On the surface that indeed looks like a coincidence, but A Jiu feels that maybe these coincidences are just too many.

Faced with the Qi Family Elder Ancestor and a few others around him constantly bidding, A Jiu also felt torn inside.

First, he really had something to do and had made plans; second, he simply didn't have that many immortal crystals on him.

When he came, he brought two million immortal crystals, thinking it would be more than enough; how could it possibly be spent like this?

But who would have thought, the Human Race's interior is basically a bottomless pit—one meal can consume 1,100,000 immortal crystals; if he weren't in the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens, who could believe it?

Since he didn't have enough money, he naturally didn't dare to bid recklessly; but at this moment, the taste of what he had eaten earlier surged uncontrollably into his mind.

Just recalling that fragrance directly made A Jiu unable to stop drooling.

Especially now, in the midst of the auction, if he could win, he would be able to enjoy that table of divine delicacies.

Once that thought arose, it instantly became uncontrollable; no matter how hard A Jiu tried not to think about it, his mind was just a tangled mess.

Furthermore, the youth beside him spoke up again, making A Jiu feel even worse.

"I fucking don't want to bid."

Gritting his teeth, he thought about it, but the words that came out of his mouth were somehow twisted by fate.

"Can I use treasures to offset the price?"

"Huh???"

As soon as those words left his mouth, even A Jiu himself wanted to kill himself—he's a professional, how could he say something like this at such a crucial moment? It's wrong.

It was completely an unconscious slip of the tongue; hearing it, the people around didn't find it too strange, as bidding with objects is not uncommon at Human Race auctions.

However, bidding with objects basically means the final price will be lower than market value; that's also the rule.

As long as Tianlin has no objection, the others naturally have none either; A Jiu can use treasures to offset, and they can naturally do so as well.

Upon hearing that, Tianlin glanced at A Jiu, fell silent for a moment, then nodded and said.

"Yes."

Using treasures to offset is naturally no problem; he might even pick up something good, and besides, the value of those treasures is entirely up to him to decide—whatever he says it is, that's what it is.

Seeing Tianlin nod, A Jiu sighed helplessly, "Look at how this matter is being handled."

Meanwhile, in the courtyard, Ye Zhangqing, whose divine sense had been enveloping the surroundings, naturally also noticed A Jiu's side.

At that moment, the Heavenly Palace Celestial Official who had been there the day before happened to be present, and Ye Zhangqing casually asked a question.

"Senior, have you investigated this person? He doesn't look like someone with background, yet he has so many immortal crystals on him; it's likely problematic."

"This was just a casual remark; Ye Zhangqing didn't intend to intervene, after all this is the Heavenly Palace's duty, and moreover, for such a small matter, the Heavenly Palace has no reason not to handle it."

"However, as his words fell, the Heavenly Palace Celestial Official's answer left Ye Zhangqing stunned."

"Seeing that the official remained calm, without the slightest hesitation, he directly replied."

"We've already investigated thoroughly; this kid is fine."

"No problem?"

He looked dubiously at the official and casually asked again.

"Then where did all those immortal crystals on him come from?"

Since there's no problem, the source of those immortal crystals must have been investigated, and indeed it was; the official quickly replied.

"We've found out; it's an inheritance left by his father."

"Then his family........."

"He was just an ordinary cultivator from the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens; he left the city a few years ago and never returned, and then this kid inherited the family property."

Huh???

Upon hearing that, Ye Zhangqing stared blankly at the official, 'You call this no problem?'
