Myriad Treasures Pavilion Auction, Poor Su Family?

Su He spoke with authority, leaving the group of juniors no room to argue before directly driving them out.

Aside from the Great Elders and the clan head, no one else knew that the Su Family was not lacking resources at all. Even the direct-line juniors among them were unaware.

Su Yunqian's eldest son was named Su Yuze. Among the younger generation, he was the strongest person aside from Su Chen, having already reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Su Yuze said with a resolute expression, "Since the lineage values us so highly, we shouldn't refuse. We'll cultivate diligently, and once we grow stronger in the future, we can repay the lineage."

Hearing Su Yuze say this, they no longer said anything more.

The cultivation resources of the Su Family's direct line had increased dramatically, but this had no effect on the collateral line. They still received exactly what they were supposed to receive.

The direct line was the core of the Su Family. They would always be members of the Su Family.

The collateral line was different. They could be members of the Su Family, or they could not.

Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

This was the largest merchant association in the entirety of Bright Moon City. It possessed treasures ranging from the lowest grade to the highest, and even quite a few items at the Nascent Soul Stage level.

If you had a need for something of an even higher grade, as long as you paid a deposit in advance, they could also transfer it to you from a more advanced branch.

Su Chen had followed Su Yunqian here to attend today's auction.

"Void Refinement stage!"

Su Chen's eyes remained calm. With just one glance, he knew that a Void Refinement stage expert was stationed within Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

"As expected of Myriad Treasures Pavilion. It really has many experts. They actually sent a Void Refinement stage expert to guard a branch."

Since today was Myriad Treasures Pavilion's auction, all the major and minor forces in Bright Moon City had gathered there, making the pavilion exceptionally lively. This was an appeal that no other merchant association could possess.

Myriad Treasures Pavilion held an auction once every year. Each time, there were countless treasures, far surpassing those of any other merchant association in Bright Moon City.

This was also the fundamental reason it could become the leader in Bright Moon City.

"Isn't that the Su Family? They actually dare to attend Myriad Treasures Pavilion's auction. Can you afford anything here?"

Li Feichi stood in the distance, his face filled with indifference as he spoke with open mockery.

Although the Li Family and Su Family had been at odds to some extent before, they had never fought openly. But ever since Li Qiu had been killed by Su Chen, the Li Family and Su Family had become sworn enemies.

Su Yunqian's eyes were indifferent. "What the hell does it have to do with you?"

After saying that, he led Su Chen into Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

Li Feichi immediately trembled with rage, his eyes filled with killing intent.

"Su Yunqian, let's see how much longer you can keep jumping around."

The Su Family's arrival immediately attracted quite a few people.

"The Su Family actually came to participate in Myriad Treasures Pavilion's auction. Didn't they say they're so poor now that they can barely keep body and soul together?"

"Exactly. I also heard that the Su Family even closed its shops, and that the resources distributed within the clan last month were cut in half. Where could they possibly get spirit stones for the auction?"

"I heard this auction has a treasure like Spirit Essence Jade Liquid. Based on its previous price, that thing will fetch at least a hundred million spirit stones. The Su Family couldn't possibly afford it, right?"

Murmurs suddenly rang out. Everyone knew that the Su Family had very few spirit stones.

When the people from the Four Great Families saw members of the Su Family arrive, they immediately could not resist mocking them.

"The Su Family? They're nothing but paupers, yet they want to compete for Spirit Essence Jade Liquid. What a fool's dream."

Outsiders might not understand the Su Family's situation very well and merely be repeating hearsay, but the Four Great Families knew it extremely clearly. The Su Family was currently in truly dire straits.

It would already be impressive if they could produce a million spirit stones.

The mocking voices continued to ring out. Su Yunqian showed little reaction, but Su Chen was somewhat displeased.

Damn it, you like running your mouths, huh?

This time, my Su Family will buy everything outright.

He had already decided that no matter what the item was, he would buy it directly.

Soon, almost everyone had taken their seats.

Myriad Treasures Pavilion's auction was not open to just anyone. It used an invitation system, and only those who had been invited could enter. Thus, nearly everyone present was a cultivator or force in Bright Moon City that had reached the Core Formation stage or above.

Those below the Core Formation stage could only follow their elders inside.

An elderly man in his sixties slowly stepped onto the auction platform. He wore a smile. "Everyone, this old man is Zhu Li, the steward of Myriad Treasures Pavilion. We're all old acquaintances, so I imagine you all recognize me."

"This auction will be presided over by this old man. During the process, I ask everyone to behave themselves and refrain from disrupting the auction's order."

As he spoke, an incomparably powerful aura spread from his body, causing everyone in the hall to tremble inwardly.

Void Refinement stage!

Zhu Li continued smiling. "All right, this old man won't waste any more time. Let's begin auctioning the items directly."

As his voice fell, he raised his hand and waved it. Three round pills appeared on the stone platform beside him.

"The first item is a third-grade pill, the Infant Transformation Pill. Its effect is to greatly increase the probability of forming a Nascent Soul. The starting price for one pill is five hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones."

Many people attending Myriad Treasures Pavilion's auction for the first time wore shocked expressions. The opening item was already a treasure like the third-grade Infant Transformation Pill. As expected of Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

Su Yunqian's expression was calm. Although the Infant Transformation Pill was precious, it could not be considered a rare treasure in Bright Moon City. As long as one was willing to pay spirit stones, it was basically possible to buy one.

"Five hundred and ten thousand spirit stones."

"Five hundred and thirty thousand spirit stones."

"..."

The bids continued to rise, soon reaching eight hundred thousand spirit stones. This was also the normal price for an Infant Transformation Pill.

"Eight hundred thousand spirit stones. Does anyone wish to bid higher?"

Zhu Li looked around with a faint smile. Seeing that no one spoke again, he continued:

"Eight hundred thousand once, eight hundred thousand twice..."

"I'll pay one million!"

Su Chen's calm voice rang out. Su Yunqian immediately turned his head to look at him, his eyes filled with confusion. Haven't you already formed your Nascent Soul?

But when he remembered that Su Chen still had ten billion low-grade spirit stones on him, Su Yunqian turned his head back again and stopped paying attention.

Su Chen was now outrageously rich. Spending a million seemed to be no problem at all.

The auction fell silent. Everyone stared wide-eyed at Su Chen, especially the person who had bid eight hundred thousand. His expression was especially speechless.

Does your Su Family even lack this kind of pill?

Li Feichi laughed loudly. "As expected of the Su Family. You really are unique, even fighting to buy this kind of trash pill."

The Great Elder of the Yuan Family, Yuan Qi, also chimed in. "Perhaps this Infant Transformation Pill is the only thing the Su Family can afford."

"Hahaha."

Mocking laughter continued to ring out from within the auction hall. However, the people laughing at the Su Family were basically all members of the Four Great Families. Even if the others wanted to laugh, they did not dare show it openly.

No matter how poor the Su Family was, its strength was still there. It was not a force they could afford to provoke.

Zhu Li continued, "One million once... twice... three times. Sold."

"Congratulations to Young Clan Leader Su Chen on purchasing three Infant Transformation Pills."

"Next, we'll auction the second item, the fourth-grade Myriad Spirit Pill. The starting price is three million low-grade spirit stones."
