Earth Martial Saint!

"She... is the Wind Saint?"

Inside the VIP box on the top floor, Xia Yan finally came to her senses after a moment of shock. She looked at the girl with ethereal beauty, delicate features, and lively eyes with blue pupils and said in disbelief.

This girl was none other than Meng Yunjie, the Wind Saint with a illustrious reputation that resounded throughout the entire Azure Blue World!

At this moment, Meng Yunjie, whose identity had been revealed by the Azure Thunder Saint Dong Lei Zhen, finally displayed the demeanor of a Saint Realm expert.

With a flick of her flowing sleeves, a gentle breeze swept through the auction hall. She then looked up at Meng Yunsheng stood on the balcony with a strange expression, and said in a clear, cold voice, "Xiao Meng, what are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and announce the auction results!"

"Oh, right, it's time to announce it."

Meng Yunsheng snapped out of his daze and quickly said, "In this auction, Her Majesty Wind Saint offered the highest price. From now on, the Thunderbolt Spear belongs to her."

Upon hearing this, Wind Saint Meng Yunjie's face immediately darkened.

What do you mean by calling her an old lady?

She has only lived for a few centuries, which is considered very young among Saint Realm experts!

She's still a young girl!

She looked at Meng Yunsheng on the balcony and said in an icy tone, "Xiao Meng, I am not an unreasonable person. You may rephrase your words."

Meng Yunsheng: "..."

Meng Yunsheng really wanted to complain: You are so old, my grandfather is your nephew, but why do you still like to act young?

Of course, Meng Yunsheng dared not say these words aloud.

Under the coercion of this powerful Saint Realm expert with a girlish heart, Meng Yunsheng naturally bowed his head in submission. He reorganized his words insincerely and said, "In this auction, the beautiful and youthful Wind Saint sister offered the highest bid. From now on, the Thunderbolt Spear belongs to her."

"Hmph, sister?"

Meng Yunjie was still somewhat dissatisfied; the title "sister" made her feel too old.

"Fine, Xiao Meng isn't thick-skinned enough, she probably won't be able to bring herself to call me 'little sister'."

Muttering to herself, Meng Yunjie finally forgave her great-nephew.

"Alright, Xiao Meng, let's continue."

Meng Yunjie sat down lazily, picked up her wine glass, took a sip of fruit wine, and savored the fresh and natural taste.

Upon hearing his aunt's words, Meng Yunsheng dared not delay. With a glance, a beautiful maidservant carrying a silver tray walked gracefully up to the balcony.

On the silver plate, a Bronze Small Sword lay quietly, its mottled marks revealing the passage of time.

This Bronze Small Sword doesn't seem to have any special aura, yet it exudes an ancient and mysterious feeling, and faintly, it seems to possess a majestic and domineering aura!

Inside the VIP box on the top floor, Xia Yan looked at Yun Xin Yue and Shang Buyu beside her with a serious expression and said, "Sisters, no matter how much resources it takes, we must bid for this Bronze Small Sword."

"Sister Xia, please rest assured, although the Shang Family may not be strong enough, their resources are definitely second to none."

Shang Buyu said quite seriously.

Yun Xin Yue nodded obediently and said, "Mhm."

At this moment, countless eyes in the auction hall were focused on this Bronze Small Sword.

Although no one knows what this Bronze Small Sword is used for based on the available information, that doesn't stop the powerful figures from various factions from making some guesses.

Some people believe that this Bronze Small Sword is a divine artifact that has not yet been activated.

Some believe that this Bronze Small Sword is a key to unlocking a certain place in the Thunder Emperor Relic.

Some people speculate that this Bronze Small Sword contains Martial Mystical Power techniques and secrets.

Of course, these are all just speculations, and most people don't believe them, because this Bronze Small Sword has no energy fluctuations at all and is easily damaged. It can be scratched with an ordinary iron weapon.

In fact, most people present believed that this Bronze Small Sword was likely just an ornament in the Thunder Emperor Relic, or even simply a child's toy.

After all, the Thunder Emperor Relic was the Void Thunder Palace, a top-tier power that flourished during the mythological, ancient, and prehistoric periods.

It's quite normal for the disciples and elders of the Void Thunder Palace to have their own wives and children and to make some bronze toys.

"Gentlemen, the origin of this Bronze Small Sword is very mysterious. So far, three Saint Realm experts have examined it one after another, but none of them have found anything unusual."

Meng Yunsheng didn't waste any words and said directly, "The starting price for this Bronze Small Sword is one Essence Qi Crystal. Bidding will begin now!"

After Meng Yunsheng finished speaking, no one made a bid for a while, and the atmosphere in the auction room became somewhat awkward.

It's not that the powerful figures present didn't know the value of something; very few people were willing to take the risk of bidding on an item they had no idea what it was.

Moreover, the starting bid for this Bronze Small Sword is as high as 100 Essence Qi Crystal. Objectively speaking, it would be unwise to bid on it based solely on a guess.

After all, one Essence Qi Crystal is enough to cultivate many Great Martial Masters, and may even nurture a Martial Grandmaster. How could it be wasted on an unknown bronze object?

The powerful figures present were not fools, and their thought processes were similar, so after a while, no one made a bid.

Seeing this, Meng Yunsheng on the balcony sighed inwardly, feeling utterly helpless.

From the very beginning, Meng Yunsheng knew very well that this Bronze Small Sword, whose origin and function were unknown, would definitely be the most difficult item to sell among all the auction items.

Therefore, after pondering for a moment, Meng Yunsheng prepared to use his eloquence to try to arouse the interest of some powerful individuals.

Of course, if that still doesn't work, then the only option is to send a telepathic message to my great-aunt Wind Saint Meng Yunjie, and ask her to help me bid on this Bronze Small Sword; otherwise, it would be too embarrassing.

However, just as Meng Yunsheng was about to speak, a clear, cold female voice suddenly rang out:

"This princess will contribute one Essence Qi Crystal!"

Meng Yunsheng was startled, then looked up and saw a woman with exquisite features, a graceful figure, and a heroic air looking at him from the VIP box on the top floor. She had a pair of very noble golden eyes.

"It was her..."

Meng Yunsheng was somewhat astonished. This eldest princess of the Mystic Xia Imperial Family had never formally bid in the auction before, except for once when she made a bid to spite the Holy Church of Light during the auction of the Radiant Energy Gathering Furnace.

Meng Yunsheng originally thought that the princess had come to broaden her horizons, but he never expected that the item she wanted to bid on was this mysterious Bronze Small Sword.

This made Meng Yunsheng realize that this Bronze Small Sword might not be so simple.

At this moment, everyone's gaze was focused on the eldest princess of the Mystic Xia Imperial Family.

"Xia Yan, the eldest princess of the Mystic Xia Imperial Family? Why would she bid for this Bronze Small Sword?"

"Could it be that the Bronze Small Sword is some kind of rare and precious object?"

"The Mystic Xia Imperial Family has a long history and it's normal that they possess information that other forces don't..."

The voices of many powerful figures resounded throughout the arena, mostly filled with doubt and speculation about the Bronze Small Sword.

Inside the VIP box on the top floor, the Azure Thunder Saint Dong Lei Zhen narrowed his eyes like a fox, glancing indifferently at Xia Yan, his eyes flashing.

"Her Princess Hall has offered 100 Essence Qi Crystal. Is there anyone else bidding?"

After glancing at Xia Yan, Meng Yunsheng on the balcony withdrew his gaze, then looked around the room and said.

The many powerful figures present remained silent for a moment before someone finally spoke up:

"An Essence Qi Crystal!"

A long-haired man stood up, his face arrogant.

The man was of average appearance, wearing a flowing robe with patterns, and his whole body shimmered with light, creating a very impressive special effect.

"That's Xu Zongzhi, the young sect master of the Flowing Cloud Sect."

"Although Xu Zongzhi's strength is only at the level of Great Martial Master, he is skilled in alchemy and is an Elixir Grandmaster who enjoys a great reputation in the southern region of the Eastern Luo Continent."

Among those present were many with keen eyesight, and someone immediately recognized Xu Zongzhi's identity, prompting exclamations of surprise.

As soon as Xu Zongzhi made his bid, some powerful individuals who had long suspected the Bronze Small Sword but had some doubts also began to bid.

In a short period of time, the price of this Bronze Small Sword has risen to 190 million yuan worth of Essence Qi Crystal.

This shows that some people are truly despicable.

No one bid when Xia Yan did not make a bid.

After Xia Yan made her bid, these people felt that since even the eldest princess of the Mystic Xia Imperial Family was interested in this Bronze Small Sword, the item must contain some kind of mystery, so they also joined in the bidding.

However, Xia Yan quickly realized what was happening, so she remained silent after initially making her bid.

This left those present somewhat unsure of what to do.

Could it be that the eldest princess of the Mystic Xia Imperial Family made the bid simply because she was bored, rather than because the Bronze Small Sword contained some kind of mystery?

Thinking of this, many powerful individuals lost their motivation, and the number of bidders quickly decreased. Finally, when the price of the Bronze Small Sword reached 350 million Essence Qi Crystal, the atmosphere became somewhat subdued.

At this moment, the highest bidder was Xu Zongzhi, the young sect master of the Flowing Cloud Sect.

"Essence Qi Crystal 370 million yuan!"

Suddenly, a calm, aged voice rang out. An old man stroked his beard, squinted his old eyes, and spoke.

This old man was the elder of the Shang Family, a Martial Grandmaster, and Shang Daoming.

It was no longer convenient for Xia Yan and the others to place a bid, otherwise it would have made the price of the Bronze Small Sword even more ferocious, and might even have attracted top-tier forces to participate in the bidding.

Therefore, the task of bidding for this Bronze Small Sword was entrusted to Shang Buyu's clansmen.

The price of 370 million Essence Qi Crystal caused a low murmur of surprise.

The many powerful figures present found it quite unbelievable that a Bronze Small Sword of unknown use had been fought over to this extent.

The expression of Xu Zongzhi, the young sect leader of the Flowing Cloud Sect, also became solemn.

After all, 370 million Essence Qi Crystal is a huge resource for the Flowing Cloud Sect, and it cannot be treated recklessly.

In reality, the overall strength of the Flowing Cloud Sect is not very strong. The strongest person in the sect is only at the Martial Grandmaster level. If it weren't for Xu Zongzhi being a Grandmaster of Alchemy who frequently receives large sums of resources, they probably wouldn't be able to produce so many Essence Qi Crystal.

Xu Zongzhi pondered for a moment, then sighed inwardly, waved his sleeve, and sat down, no longer arguing over the Bronze Small Sword.

Seeing Xu Zongzhi give up, Xia Yan and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If the other party had continued to compete, the price of the Bronze Small Sword would have been driven up to a very high level.

At that time, the Bronze Small Sword will inevitably spark renewed speculation and may even attract bidding from top powers.

"730 million Essence Qi Crystal!"

However, just as Xu Zongzhi chose to give up and Xia Yan and the others breathed a sigh of relief, a calm yet imposing voice suddenly rang out, immediately causing an uproar among those present.

Countless gazes suddenly rose and looked in the direction of the voice, their expressions immediately becoming quite interesting.

Because the one who made the bid was none other than the Azure Thunder Saint, Dong Lei Zhen!

At this moment, Dong Lei Zhen was standing outside the VIP box, looking down at the entire room with an indifferent expression. He then turned his gaze to Xia Yan and said indifferently, "Miss Xia, the old man who just made the bid, is he one of your men?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned.

What's going on?

The eldest princess of the Mystic Xia Imperial Family did not bid herself, but instead had an old man under her command bid, clearly intending to acquire the Bronze Small Sword without attracting attention.

In other words, that Bronze Small Sword must contain a great deal of mystery!

The many powerful figures present immediately became interested in bidding!

"Dong Lei Zhen!!"

Xia Yan's golden eyes were now filled with deep anger and cold light.

Dong Lei Zhen's malice towards them was quite obvious.

However, Xia Yan was, after all, one of the most outstanding direct descendants of the Mystic Xia Imperial Family. She suppressed her anger, calmly glanced at Dong Lei Zhen, and then said indifferently, "Azure Thunder Saint, your words are rather difficult to understand. I don't know who that old man is either, and I would like to ask you!"

"Oh, really?"

Dong Lei Zhen coldly said, "This Saint will continue bidding: 930 million Essence Qi Crystal."

The moment these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room instantly turned icy.

Dong Lei Zhen's ruthless and taciturn nature, along with his direct bidding up, has exceeded the normal bidding process.

This is more like a provocation.

Everyone present felt that this Azure Thunder Saint might have some grudge against the Mystic Xia Imperial Family, which was why he did this.

Xia Yan's pretty face was icy cold, her jade hands clenched into fists, and the energy fluctuations from her entire body burst forth, clearly indicating that she was already furious.

"That Dong Lei Zhen is really annoying!"

Shang Buyu said in a cold voice.

Although they could produce the 930 million Essence Qi Crystal, Dong Lei Zhen was clearly targeting them.

Even if they continue bidding, Dong Lei Zhen will likely place an order, and at that point, the price of this Bronze Small Sword will rise to an unimaginable level!

"Does Dong Lei Zhen really think we're pushovers?"

Even Yun Xin Yue, who has such a good temper, is somewhat annoyed now.

Her husband is Creation Martial Saint, so what is a mere Azure Thunder Saint?

Xia Yan clenched her fists, suppressing her anger, and without further ado, directly offered. "Nine Hundred and Seventy Million Essence Qi Crystals!"
