When it was confirmed that the item had been awarded to the first buyer, Yue Qianchou was taken aback. Why was there no one bidding? After a moment's thought, he understood. Spirit Transformation stage expert was indeed very powerful. He could intimidate the entire Cultivation World without even showing his face. He needed to work harder!

After paying 4,600 supreme-grade Spirit Stones, Yue Qianchou returned to his seat and waited with the others for the Wu family to remove the defenses of the auction house. Then everyone left, some going backstage to retrieve their items, which were naturally the treasures they had paid for.

Backstage, Wu Sihai stared at the pile of glittering purple supreme-grade Spirit Stones on the table and said helplessly, "Put away the supreme-grade Spirit Stones! Prepare the other Spirit Stone to settle the account with the seller!"

"Patriarch!" Wu Lei walked over and said with a wry smile, "It's probably not possible to collect them all. The warehouse is short of more than ten million high-grade Spirit Stones Spirit Stone other kinds. I'm afraid we'll have to use some supreme-grade Spirit Stones to settle the accounts with the sellers."

"Such a big difference?" Wu Sihai was surprised and frowned, "Can we immediately transfer Spirit Stone from other free auction houses?"

Wu Lei shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that won't work. The turnover of Spirit Stone in the free auction house is quite fast, and it's difficult to transfer so much money at once. Even if we could, if we transfer more than ten million high-grade Spirit Stones over here now, I'm afraid they would stop first. I'm afraid the sellers who are preparing to bid will not agree to us not using Spirit Stone as collateral."

"I see!" Wu Sihai paced back and forth in thought, then stopped in front of the pile of supreme-grade Spirit Stones, nodded and said, "Bring out two thousand supreme-grade Spirit Stones and come with me to the front desk for the auction."

"Ah!" Wu Lei was startled and quickly dissuaded him, "Patriarch, this is not right! The number one buyer just paid us with supreme-grade Spirit Stones, and you're putting them up for auction now? Isn't that a bit too much... Besides, if these supreme-grade Spirit Stones are put into circulation, it will inevitably cause a stir in the entire Cultivation World!"

"It's alright. If the number one buyer has any objections, let him come to me, and I'll handle it. As for whether the Cultivation World is shaken or not, what does that have to do with our Wu family? Our Four Great Families don't want to compete for the title of number one in the world," Wu Sihai said with a smile. He knew the number one buyer's background and was naturally aware of the situation.

Seeing that the patriarch was determined to do so, Wu Lei had nothing to say. He said "Yes" and instructed people to divide the two thousand supreme-grade Spirit Stones into four trays, cover them with red cloth, and the four disciples carried them out with Wu Sihai.

Wu Sihai stepped to the front of the stage, cupped his hands to the crowd, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, given that the last four items were sold as a set, according to the usual practice of ten auctions in previous years, only seven have been completed this year. In order not to break the rule, my Wu family has specially taken out some rare items acquired recently and divided them into four parts for auction to make up for the three missing auctions. I hope you will understand!"

Everyone looked curiously at the four trays covered with red cloth. Many people scanned them with their Divine Sense. Although they couldn't find what was inside, they were still shocked by the rich Spiritual Qi under the red cloth. What rare items could they be? Everyone looked at the number one buyer in the front row and sighed inwardly. If it were something really good, they were afraid that once he opened his mouth, no one would dare to bid.

Yue Qianchou was also very puzzled. What could possibly have such a strong Spiritual Qi?

Wu Sihai glanced down, discerning something from everyone's expressions. He smiled slightly, thinking, "Don't worry, everyone. The number one buyer of this item will definitely not interfere. I don't believe he would use supreme-grade Spirit Stones to buy supreme-grade Spirit Stones." He then waved to the four disciples beside him and said, "Open it!"

Four disciples respectfully accepted the order and uncovered the red cloth covering the four trays placed side by side on the table, revealing a striking, shimmering purple object. The crowd below was filled with confusion. What were these things? Their shapes somewhat resembled Spirit Stone.

Yue Qianchou, who was leaning back in his chair, sat up abruptly. How could he not recognize someone else? These were clearly the supreme-grade Spirit Stones he had brought out! The Wu family was actually auctioning off the supreme-grade Spirit Stones that he had paid for? Holy crap! Yue Qianchou's mouth was agape enough to fit an egg.

"Could this be the legendary supreme-grade Spirit Stones?" someone in the audience suddenly exclaimed. The words immediately triggered a great reaction, with everyone discussing it and expressing their doubts. "Is it really supreme-grade Spirit Stones...? No... so supreme-grade Spirit Stones really do exist..."

"Not bad!" Wu Sihai glanced at Yue Qianchou and said with a smile, "Everyone saw it correctly, these are indeed the legendary supreme-grade Spirit Stones, absolutely genuine. There are a total of two thousand supreme-grade Spirit Stones here, everyone! Is this really considered a rare item?"

The audience fell silent again. What good is it if the first buyer opens their mouth and we're done for? Didn't you see they were sitting up straight, just waiting?

Wu Sihai smiled slightly and gave Yue Qianchou a perfunctory bow, saying, "Buyer No. 1, do you think it's better to bid on these two thousand supreme-grade Spirit Stones, which are divided into four trays, all at once, or in four separate bids?"

Yue Qianchou's face twitched uncontrollably beneath the black cloth. "Damn old fox! He took advantage of me and now he wants me to say something!" Thinking about how he had disrupted the auction, he paused and replied, "Even supreme-grade Spirit Stones are still Spirit Stone. I have no interest in Spirit Stone. You can bid however you want, but I'm not buying them. Don't drag me into this."

Upon hearing this, everyone shook their heads and sighed. Not even interested in Spirit Stone? What a rich man! But they were also relieved. If he didn't interfere, they still had hope.

"Oh!" Wu Sihai nodded and happily asked everyone, "What are your opinions? My Wu family has no objection to filming separately or together."

"They're all Spirit Stone, why bother dividing them? Let's just bid on them all together! What do you say, Dongfang Changao?" Chou Wuyuan stood up and shouted. Since the number one buyer wasn't interfering, he had no more worries.

Dongfang Changao said expressionlessly, "As long as everyone has no objections, I have no objections either!"

"Does anyone have any objections?" Chou Wuyuan silent. Fu Xian Island wasn't objecting, how could they dare to voice their opinions?

Seeing that no one was speaking, Chou Wuyuan nodded and shouted, "Brother Wu, since no one has any objections, let's take the picture together!"

"Alright! Then I won't waste any more time!" Wu Sihai pointed to the items on the table and announced loudly to the crowd below, "As everyone knows, according to the old sayings, one high-grade Spirit Stones- supreme-grade Spirit Stones is worth ten thousand high-grade spirit stones. There are a total of two thousand supreme-grade Spirit Stones here. If we auction them together, the starting price is twenty million high-grade Spirit Stones. The highest bidder wins, and the minimum increment... must not be less than one million! Everyone, call your bids!"

"Buzz..." The crowd immediately became lively. That terrifying guy number one said he wouldn't interfere, so what did everyone have to worry about? Twenty-one million... twenty-two million... the price soared.

"Damn it! It's so corrupt, you old fox..." Yue Qianchou gritted his teeth in the audience, cursing Wu Sihai's ancestors repeatedly in his mind.

Suddenly, Dongfang Changao 'Chou Wuyuan voice transmission reached Dongfang Chang'ao's ear. "Dongfang, this supreme-grade Spirit Stones is indeed a good thing, but as the first buyer said, a supreme-grade Spirit Stones is still Spirit Stone. If the price is too high, it won't benefit us either. Our two families have the strongest financial resources here, so it will probably end up in our hands. In my opinion, we don't need to fight to the death and let that old fox Wu Sihai benefit from it. After the price reaches a certain point and no one bids anymore, why don't we let one of us take it? Then we can split the price evenly, with each of us paying 1,000 yuan for the supreme-grade Spirit Stones. What do you think?"

Dongfang Changao replied telepathically, "Not a bad idea. But what if you take it and then deny it afterwards?"

"That's easy. As long as you agree, I'll swear a solemn oath!" Chou Wuyuan transmitted his voice. Dongfang Changao simply replied with a single word, "Okay." With the former swearing a solemn oath, the righteous and the demonic quickly reached an agreement.
