Chu Xinghe Dropped a Rock on His Own Foot

The Golden Crow Auction was held as scheduled.

But Chu Xinghe said he had no expectations at all.

Not only was Chu Xinghe not looking forward to it, but the other sects were not so much looking forward to it either. The previous alliance against the Vast Heaven Sect was disbanded on the spot after Jin Wuyu's explanation.

Zheng Yu even personally visited Xinghe to say, "Senior Brother Xinghe, I didn't mean to target you before. It was all arranged by the sect. Please don't mind, Senior Brother Xinghe."

Chu Xinghe's eyes welled up with tears... Do I mind that you guys teamed up? What I mind is that you disbanded...

What happened to our agreement to fight against the Vast Heaven Sect? How can we fight them if you disband so easily?

Even if we don't fight over the Formless Heart Sutra, we can at least fight for face!

Can you guys just jump in and demand the highest price? Don't worry, no matter how high you ask, your Senior Brother Xinghe will definitely offer a higher price in the end. I promise you won't lose money...

Isn't it a wonderful memory that we joined forces to create an all-time high price?

The Golden Crow Auction attracted countless powerful figures from all corners of the world, and the bidding was fierce, with round after round of auctions.

Chu Xinghe, sitting with the Grand Elder in VIP room number one, was attacking like crazy.

Basically, Chu Xinghe is known for his quick and expensive moves on anything that seems useless!

Throughout the entire auction, Chu Xinghe single-handedly purchased more than twenty items, spending nearly a million spirit stones!

Looking at the Grand Elder calmly sipping his tea, Chu Xinghe felt helpless. This amount of spirit stones was hardly worth his attention, let alone the Grand Elder's.

Moreover, looking at the completely motionless Misfortune Compass, Chu Xinghe seriously doubted that the things he had photographed could even be considered as causing losses to the sect.

Finally, the auction reached its grand finale. When the Formless Heart Sutra brought out, Chu Xinghe witnessed firsthand what peak sales performance truly meant.

Jin Wuyu appeared as an ordinary auctioneer and, without warning, introduced the origins of the Formless Heart Sutra.

The origin of the Formless Heart Sutra this time is slightly different from the one I introduced to the expert last time.

In this public explanation, the Heart Sutra of Formless Heart Sutra described as follows: Ritian, an Ancient God star fell from the sky. This star, carrying the inheritance of the Ancient God, accidentally landed in a desolate ancient land. At that time, the world changed and the sun and moon reversed. Subsequently, countless warriors embarked on the road to find it.

After countless warriors fought and competed relentlessly, one warrior finally obtained it. This warrior also made rapid progress with the Formless Heart Sutra just a few years.

Countless years later, this supreme being shattered the void and departed, leaving behind this Formless Heart Sutra. His descendants originally intended to preserve it so that it could continue to flourish.

But the will of the Ancient God suddenly descended, telling the descendants of the warrior that they were no longer qualified to possess the Formless Heart Sutra.

The Formless Heart Sutra only for those who possess both virtue and wealth, and only the Future supreme king is qualified to possess it. Therefore, the descendants of the warrior sent the Formless Heart Sutra to the Golden Crow Auction House, hoping to find a person with both virtue and wealth to become the next legend!

So, family members, what are you waiting for? The last legend has turned the page, and the next legend is yours to write. The Formless Heart Sutra, the choice of the strong!

Chu Xinghe was completely numb after hearing Jin Wuyu's introduction.

Look at how excited everyone is outside the VIP room! Plus, Jin Wuyu went on to explain in detail the 20% indiscriminate bonus of the Formless Heart Sutra and the obviously deceptive buff that allows them to cultivate to the ultimate level. Right now, everyone is so excited they're practically peeing their pants.

Each one of them seemed eager to stand up and declare that they were the next legend.

Now Chu Xinghe truly understood why Jin Wuyu had held an introductory meeting in advance. Otherwise, whether the family members could create a legend was uncertain, but Jin Wuyu's family members would definitely be gone tomorrow.

After all, such an outrageous introduction is fine if it fools the family members, but fooling the big shots? Jin Wuyu isn't that brave.

Seeing the excitement of his family, Jin Wuyu immediately announced the bottom price for the Formless Heart Sutra.

Only 100,000 spirit stones!

On the spot! Countless family members' passion turned to ice...

100,000? What happened to our family? The starting price is already 100,000? Are they family or enemies?

"Two hundred thousand..." A voice came from the VIP room next door, and the one who called out the price seemed to be Zheng Yu.

"Five hundred thousand..." Other VIP rooms also started bidding. The family members all sat down, because they soon realized that it didn't seem to have much to do with them... The next legend would have to be written by those people in the VIP rooms.

When the price soared to two million, many families were green with envy.

As expected of a powerful figure capable of continuing the legend, truly possessing both virtue and wealth!

Just as the price began to slowly rise from the two million mark, a voice came from VIP room number one.

"Ten million!"

Whoosh... The entire auction house erupted in chaos.

Ten million? How to put that number? Let alone the major companies, even the bottom few of the top ten could probably scrape together that much if they sold everything they owned, right?

All eyes turned to VIP Room Number One. Everyone knew who was sitting there better than anyone else.

Vast Heaven Sect! The one who just bid was Chu Xinghe!

As expected of Chu Xinghe... You're the one to continue the legend of the next powerful figure.

The bid of ten million caused an uproar at the auction house. Not only the auction house, but even the Grand Elder was stunned.

Xinghe... It's not that we can't afford ten million, but they only bid two million just now. You would have been generous enough to bid five million, but going straight for ten million is really outrageous, isn't it?

The Grand Elder had actually calculated that if you were to say it was the complete version of the Formless Heart Sutra, it wouldn't be impossible for it to fetch more than ten million, or even several times that amount.

The combined forces of those families in Martial Emperor City are no joke.

But this incomplete version? Wouldn't three to five million be enough?

Xinghe, your price is truly outrageous!

But the Grand Elder suddenly realized that things were not so simple. Xinghe was always a child who sought victory through steady progress and never acted without a purpose.

Every seemingly whimsical action he takes invariably brings tremendous benefits to the sect in the end.

Could it be that... Xinghe has a way to complete the Formless Heart Sutra, and he paid such a high price for it?

That's how it's supposed to be!

Yesterday, Xinghe deliberately said such outrageous things just to mislead everyone, even me.

I think Xinghe's words are a bit unreliable.

Therefore, if Xinghe were to purchase at such a high price at this moment, it would definitely be seen as a shill by the other sects.

Therefore, no one would even consider that the Xinghe could complete the Formless Heart Sutra Form.

Xinghe has quietly taken control of the entire situation.

Indeed, they had the upper hand. After the price of ten million was announced, the room remained silent for a full minute without any bids, until Jin Wuyu congratulated VIP Room No. 1 on winning the Formless Heart Sutra, at which point the room became lively again.

But Chu Xinghe's eyes were already filled with tears... Well... isn't it rumored that most auction houses have their own shills?

When I bid ten million just now, shouldn't your shills have jumped out and bid fifteen million to fight me to the death?

Then I prepared 20 million, but what does it mean that your shills aren't responding at all?

Does Golden Crow Auction House employ shills?

There must be one... but even the shill has never heard of such an outrageous price. Jin Wuyu had instructed the shill to stop at over three million, otherwise it would be troublesome if it was overpriced.

So when faced with Chu Xinghe's exorbitant demand of ten million, the shill simply stated that it had nothing to do with them.

Let's lie flat and watch Chu Xinghe take us flying.

Chu Xinghe purchased the extremely incomplete version of the Formless Heart Sutra for ten million, and all the sects were practically laughing their heads off.

"Chu Xinghe has shot himself in the foot."

"Hmph... I felt something was off yesterday. Chu Xinghe kept praising the Formless Heart Sutra. Could it be that the Vast Heaven Sect and the Jin Clan have some shady dealings? Today, it seems that's indeed the case."

"This bullshit 'Formless Heart Sutra' is worth at most three to five million, ten million? Chu Xinghe is still young, he's too green to be a shill."

"Now that the performance has gone wrong, Chu Xinghe can only swallow the bitter pill himself."

Zheng Yu listened to the discussion with a bewildered expression, though he shared similar thoughts with everyone else.

But... Senior Brother Xinghe is always so reliable, would he really make such a basic mistake? Or is it...?

Suddenly, Zheng Yu's expression changed drastically because Zheng Yu remembered something that few outsiders knew: Senior Brother Xinghe had once instructed the Thunder Palace in cultivating the Thunderclap Art. At the time, everyone said that Senior Brother Xinghe was wrong, but in the end, it was discovered that Senior Brother Xinghe's Thunderclap Art was the true Thunderclap Art.

Therefore... the outside world has no idea that Senior Brother Xinghe actually possesses a terrifying ability in comprehending cultivation techniques.

While this series of outrageous actions may seem like Senior Brother Xinghe as a shill, in reality, everyone was caught in Senior Brother Xinghe's trap.

Senior Brother Xinghe single-handedly made everyone believe that he was deliberately raising the price, when in fact he was stopping everyone from bidding. This time, Senior Brother Xinghe was looking down on all living beings from the fifth floor.

Zheng Yu sighed at this moment, realizing that Senior Brother Xinghe was truly unpredictable. But even if he figured it out, it wouldn't make a difference. Even if he took action, the financial resources of Martial Emperor City would definitely not be able to compete with those of the Vast Heaven Sect. Even if he won... no one in Martial Emperor City could complete the Formless Heart Sutra.

So, Senior Brother Xinghe even included himself in this calculation. Even if he figured it out, it wouldn't matter. I, Zheng Yu, can only live in Senior Brother Xinghe's shadow.

Zheng Yu was furious as she watched the people around her shouting that Chu Xinghe was a shill.

You're all still yelling... You have absolutely no idea what happened... Senior Brother Xinghe is completely overwhelmed by this win.

Senior Brother Xinghe will soon show you that completing the Formless Heart Sutra a piece of cake for him. The Vast Heaven Sect has made a killing this time.

Ten million, huh... You laugh at Senior Brother Xinghe for being a sucker, but Senior Brother Xinghe laughs at you for knowing nothing!

Zheng Yu shook his head and sighed silently. "Although I see through everything, I am powerless to change it. This is fate."

Chu Xinghe was indeed smiling at this moment, because when Jin Wuyu handed him the Formless Heart Sutra and took ten million spirit stones from him, the Misfortune Compass... finally started spinning!

This time it's not turning upside down, it's turning right-side up.

Although this victory didn't meet our highest expectations, we still won, and with the Misfortune Compass turning positive, the backlash from bad luck has finally ended.

Although I bought a Shameless Heart Sutra for ten million, I, Chu Xinghe, will protect the entire sect and drive away all misfortune for everyone!

When I get back and have someone try it out, I'll find that this Shameless Heart Sutra is completely impossible to repair. I'll just throw this thing away, a double loss, perfect! Now, floor the accelerator, remove the brakes! I'm taking off!

My world is only filled with joy and sorrow, not separation and reunion, and certainly no brakes! Charge!
