Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

In the subsequent bidding, the fat cultivator's momentum was fierce, almost becoming his own private session.

However, some cultivators were unwilling to show weakness and competed with him, but as time passed, fewer and fewer people dared to bid.

In the end, only three people remained persisting, one of whom was the fat cultivator.

The bidding grew increasingly fierce; within just a few breaths, the price soared from 110,000 to 180,000, and finally the other two were defeated due to insufficient funds, with the spirit worm successfully taken by the fat cultivator.

You must know, this was not low-grade spirit stones, but middle-grade spirit stones.

Just a mere worm, yet it fetched such a price—simply outrageous.

Xu Zhangqing stared wide-eyed and couldn't help but ask: "Where did this worm come from?"

Yu Shi shook his head: "It's my first time here too; I'm not very clear about it."

Su Jinli thoughtfully said: "It seems many people came for it!"

The three understood clearly: for this spirit worm to fetch 180,000, there were only two possibilities.

One: the fat cultivator is a fool.

Two: its hidden value far exceeds 180,000.

Judging by the surrounding people's eager reaction, the second possibility is more likely.

Moreover, after this battle, the fat cultivator's status invisibly surpassed everyone beside him, and everyone looked at him with varied expressions.

Some with greed.

Some with surprise.

Some with awe.

Seeing the spirit worm successfully sold at 180,000, Wan Niang immediately beamed: "Congratulations to this esteemed guest on obtaining your beloved item."

Next, we present the sixth auction item: Thousand-year Dragon Saliva Incense sealed in a jade bottle.

She lifted the brocade cloth; inside the jade bottle, a wisp of pale gold light flickered in and out of sight, and it faintly emitted a special scent.

Somewhat fragrant, yet somewhat foul-smelling, appearing very complex.

Regardless of whether anyone was interested, Wan Niang patiently introduced it: "This item can serve as a medicinal guide for high-grade pills, and can also nourish the spirit of high-grade magic tools."

Starting bid: 10,000 middle-grade spirit stones; each bid increase not less than 2,000.

Xu Zhangqing glanced at the jade bottle, not interested in the Thousand-year Dragon Saliva Incense, arms crossed watching the excitement.

Indeed, he did know alchemy and artifact refining.

But with the metal and fire spirit roots separated, it definitely wouldn't be as easy as before.

What's more, he already had better "Yellow Qi," so he didn't need this thing even more.

In fact, not only him, many people were not interested in the Thousand-year Dragon Saliva Incense.

After a long while, someone in the corner tentatively called out: "12,000!"

After waiting a while, stubbornly no one followed up.

Xu Zhangqing looked at Yu Shi beside him: "You don't want it?"

The latter shook his head: "This thing, I have plenty in my storage waist belt."

Upon hearing this, not only was Xu Zhangqing stunned, but even Su Jinli rolled her eyes.

Of course, neither of them doubted this fellow was bragging; after all, he was the Imperial Dynasty Crown Prince.

After a while, once the Thousand-year Dragon Saliva Incense broke through 16,000, no one bid anymore, and it was finally successfully taken by the first cultivator.

Immediately following the Dragon Saliva Incense, Wan Niang presented a translucent jade tablet: "The seventh item, Water Mirror Jade."

It can record images, and with spiritual power activation it can play them back—a good thing for recording.

The jade tablet glowed with clear radiance, overall smaller than a palm.

In the middle was a sunken circle, seemingly for placing spirit stones.

The starting bid of 15,000 had just been announced when someone immediately shouted: "17,000!"

"19,000!"

"21,000!"

"23,000!"

Although several cultivators wanted this thing, they were all very cautious.

And every bid was capped at the bottom line of 2,000.

Su Jinli, seeing it was about the same, spoke in her clear, cold voice: "30,000!"

The bid increase directly overwhelmed the entire venue; the venue instantly fell silent, with no one responding.

Wan Niang chuckled softly: "30,000, sold!"

Xu Zhangqing and Yu Shi watched Su Jinli pay the spirit stones crisply and decisively, once again refreshing their understanding of her wealth.

Perhaps due to consecutive cold scenes, Wan Niang soon brought out the eighth auction item.

The Spirit-Suppressing Cauldron missing a tripod leg.

This thing can both refine pills and refine artifacts; cultivators with fire and metal spirit roots would definitely be interested.

Unfortunately it was incomplete; even the bronze cauldron body was full of cracks, with only the intact beast-head pattern emitting faint spiritual light.

Just as Xu Zhangqing thought no one would bid, unexpectedly, this thing actually attracted competition from many people.

The starting bid was 30,000 middle-grade spirit stones, and it quickly reached 70,000.

Although fewer people were participating, the price kept rising.

Xu Zhangqing exclaimed, "What an eye-opener today—a worm being fought over, a broken Spirit-Suppressing Cauldron, and yet so many people want it."

Su Jinli and Yu Shi were equally astonished, even carrying a hint of suspicion.

Overall, this Fifth Layer Auction was not simple.

Many things here seemed to be especially valued by certain powers or Xiuxian Zhe.

They were even willing to spend a large amount of spirit stones for it.

It was a pity that they were outsiders and had just arrived here, not knowing the actual situation.

They could only watch the people around them bidding madly, yet had no way to do anything.

In the end, this obviously broken Spirit-Suppressing Cauldron stubbornly sold for a "sky-high price" of 150,000.

And the person who got it was none other than the fat Xiuxian Zhe who had snatched the spirit worm earlier.

Unexpectedly, he made a move again, and spent another 150,000 middle-grade spirit stones at once.

Xu Zhangqing nudged Yu Shi with his elbow, teasing with a slightly playful expression: "I wonder how this person's net worth compares to yours?"

In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, this fat Xiuxian Zhe stubbornly spent over 300,000 middle-grade spirit stones.

And he looked like he had plenty of backing.

He would probably make another move later; he was definitely no ordinary person.

As for this, Yu Shi remained silent—not because he didn't want to speak, but because he didn't know what to say.

Although he was indeed the Imperial Dynasty Crown Prince, an existence who possessed a treasury.

But there are always people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens.

Who knew if this fat Xiuxian Zhe was a member of some top-tier power.

What's more, among those who could come up to the Fifth Layer, there were no easy ones to deal with.

……

……

After a while, Wan Niang came before everyone holding a black wood box with both hands, her expression more solemn than before: "Next is the finale auction item, the Dragon-Tiger Talisman Classic Fragment!"

The moment the box was opened, spiritual light burst out from within.

Half were dragon-shaped spiritual runes.

Half were tiger-shaped spiritual runes.

Before everyone's eyes, it actually evolved into the phenomenon of dragons and tigers fighting.

Perhaps because the fragment didn't have much energy, the spiritual light soon became weak, the dragon and tiger becoming increasingly illusory, that mysterious feeling gradually disappearing.

At this time, Wan Niang introduced: "It contains diagrams of seven lost talisman arts such as Thunder Summoning and Demon Hunting, starting bid 120,000 middle-grade spirit stones, minimum bid increase 10,000!"

"130,000!"

"150,000!"

"180,000!"

Almost instantly, the entire Fifth Layer was filled with bidding voices.

Those who had been silent until now all joined in, causing the price to skyrocket.

Not long after, it directly broke the high price of 200,000, and continued to grow, showing no sign of stopping.

Although this was only a fragment and overall incomplete.

But it was after all something from the Dragon-Tiger Immortal Sect, its value could not even be measured by spirit stones.

Xu Zhangqing had not spoken all along, still considering whether to join in.

But seeing this "jumping tens of thousands every few seconds" momentum, even 400,000 or 500,000 might not be enough to win it.

To be honest, it wasn't because he was reluctant to spend money, but because he felt something was off.

His intuition told him there was a problem here, and a big one.

Yu Shi secretly sent a voice transmission: "I can lend you 100,000."

Xu Zhangqing shook his head, decisively sending a voice transmission to both of them: "No, we won't bid; as soon as the auction ends, we leave immediately!"
