Chapter 3621: Fourth Leader Zhong
The crowd in the auction house was not surprised that Han Li Gang, the second elder of the 10,000 Devils Sect, yielded. After all, Han Li Gang was no match for Murong Sui Feng.
Although Han Li Gang was also an advanced King of G.o.ds, he was only slightly stronger than an ordinary King of G.o.ds. How could he compare to Murong Sui Feng who was close to becoming a Lord of G.o.ds?
The crowd was more surprised that the members of the 10,000 Devils Sect attended the auction.
“I can’t believe the 10,000 Devils Sect that are rivals with the Hidden Fog Sect came to Skywind City as well!”
“That’s right! Skywind City is one of the cities under the Hidden Fog Sect’s control, after all. Aren’t the members of the 10,000 Devils Sect afraid they won’t be able to leave alive after entering the city?”
“Despite their conflicts, the Hidden Fog Sect won’t rashly move against the 10,000 Devils Sect. After all, it’s not to their advantage to start a war with the 10,000 Devils Sect for no good reason…”
“Nevertheless, the fact that the 10,000 Devils Sect took the risk to come to Skywind City only proves how coveted the Six G.o.ds Profound Shadow Technique is!”
The conflict between Murong Siu Feng and Han Li Gang was just a trivial matter. Hence, it did not take long for the crowd to return their attention to the stage.
At this time, the first item was finally brought out for bidding.
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first item up for bidding,” Zhou Yun said with a smile as she brought out a bottle of pills, “The three pills in this bottle are known as the Primary Divine Pill, Secondary Divine Pill, and Tertiary Divine Pill respectively. The effects aren’t that extraordinary if ingested separately. However, if they’re ingested together, it’s able to boost one’s cultivation tremendously. Not only that, but they’re even more beneficial if one has high-grade cultivation methods. For example, an emperor-grade cultivation technique coupled with the three pills can help someone who has just attained G.o.dhood break through and become an intermediate G.o.d in just a short time. With a supreme cultivation method, a rudimentary G.o.d can even become an advanced G.o.d after ingesting the three pills. However, even without extraordinary cultivation methods, the pills will still greatly boost one’s cultivation. The pills are also a very suitable gift for the younger generation.”
The eyes of the people present, including the Kings of G.o.ds, lit up as soon as they heard Zhou Yu’s words.
“The Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Divine Pills are hard to refine and have a low success rate. Even a king-rank force would have a tough time obtaining all three pills. This is a great opportunity for you to obtain all three divine pills. The starting bid for these three pills is 3,000 taels of divine rocks. Every increment has to be at least 1,000 tales of divine rocks,” Zhou said as she raised the bottle of pills in her hand.
As soon as Zhou Yu’s voice fell, someone cried out, “3,000 taels of divine rocks!”
Before Zhou Yu could speak again, another person called out, “4,000 taels of divine rocks!”
After a breath, someone called out, “5,000 taels of divine rocks!”
5,000 taels of divine rocks were about the price of the divine rocks. They were rather costly due to their rarity. Apart from that, they were also in high demand. After all, to these people, it was much more difficult to obtain high-grade cultivation methods to help with their breakthroughs. For this reason, how could they not want the pills that could help raise their cultivation bases?
“This gentleman here has offered 5,000 taels of divine rocks for the divine pills. Is there anyone who still wants to bid for them? To the guests on the first floor, it’s still not too late for you to bid on these pills,” Zhou Yun asked before she said, “5,000 taels of divine rocks, going once…”
The three divine pills would be sold at 5,000 taels of divine rocks if no one bid for it after the count of three.
The crowd raised their heads to look at the windows on the first floor.
At this moment, a high-pitch voice rang out from one of the rooms on the first floor.
“6,000 taels of divine rocks!”
It did not take long for the crowd to identify the owner of the voice.
“That’s the Fourth Leader of the Zhong clan!”
The Zhong clan was a king-rank clan comparable to the Zhou clan in Skywind City. It was easy for people to identify Zhong Si, the Fourth Leader of the Zhong clan since he was in charge of managing the restaurants under the Zhong clan located in the Zhong Clan’s trading zone. He frequently appeared in the restaurants so many people recognized his voice immediately.
At this moment, Zhong Si said, “It seems like many people recognized my voice. I feel flattered. I hope the gentleman who bid for the pills previously will let me have the pills. My useless son needs them, after all.”
Upon hearing Zhong Si’s words, Zhou Yu furrowed her brows and said, “Fourth Leader Zhong, are you trying to provoke the Zhou clan? It’s against the rules to make such a request during an auction. Would the Zhong clan allow this kind of behavior during their auctions?”
Zhou Yun, naturally, knew that Zhong Si’s words would intimidate people, causing them to stop bidding for the divine pills. Most of the people with higher status than Zhong Si, naturally would not bid for these divine pills while those who were interested would not bid for it in fear of offending the Zhong clan. The Zhong clan aside, Zhong Si was an extraordinary advanced G.o.d, and his comprehension of the law was the deepest among his peers in the Zhong clan.
Zhong Si laughed before he said, “Elder Zhou Yun, you misunderstand me. I don’t intend to violate the rules of the auction. I only spoke earlier because I was surprised people could recognize my voice.” After a brief pause, he said, ‘Gentleman, please disregard my earlier words. Everyone who’s interested in the divine pills, please continue to bid for them. I’m a fair person, after all. Are you satisfied, Elder Zhou Yun?”
Despite his words, Zhong Si’s expression and tone were frosty. Everyone could sense the threat hidden behind his words.
“You!” Zhou Yun was furious. However, before she could say more, a youthful voice rang from one of the rooms.
“7,000 taels of divine rocks!”
The smile on the face of Zhong s.h.i.+, who was in room six, vanished immediately. He smacked the table, destroying it. He said in a low voice so only those in the room could hear him, “Who has the audacity to act against my wishes?”
“Fourth Leader, the voice seemed to have come from room nine,” an old man standing behind Zhong Si said in a low voice as he stepped forward.
“Room nine?” Zhong Si’s eyes glinted coldly as he asked, “I supposed those in room nine aren’t from any lord-rank forces, right?”
“No. The members of lord-rank forces occupied room one to room five,” the old man replied.
“Very good,” Zhong Si said with a nod, “They’re really bold.”
After a moment, Zhong Si called out in an icy voice, “8,000 taels of divine rocks!”
As soon as Zhong Si’s voice fell, a commotion broke out among the crowd again.
“It seems like Fourth Leader Zhong Si is furious…”
“I wonder who’s in room nine. Even if Fourth Leader manages to obtain the pills, he likely won’t let the person who bid against him go.”
“Whoever’s in room nine must be crazy for bidding against Fourth Leader Zhong Si!”
While the crowd was busy discussing among themselves again, they kept looking at the window of room nine as well.
“10,000 taels of divine rocks!” Duan Ling Tian decisively raised the price by two times. He did not pay any attention to Zhong Si, at all..
