Spirit Essence Jade Liquid, and You Call the Su Family Paupers?

"Next up for auction is the second item, a fourth-grade Myriad Spirit Pill. The starting bid is three million Lower-Grade Spirit Stones."

Myriad Spirit Pill!

The people from the Four Great Families all looked solemn. This auction actually had a pill like this.

The effects of the Myriad Spirit Pill were actually quite simple. It could directly help someone in the Nascent Soul Realm break through a minor realm, and remained effective until Nascent Soul Perfection.

Even in Bright Moon City, this kind of pill was a priceless treasure that was impossible to buy. No one had expected the second item at this auction to be a Myriad Spirit Pill.

According to the rules of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, fifteen items were auctioned every year, and each one was better than the last. Since the second item was already a Myriad Spirit Pill, the later items would certainly be even better.

The Four Great Families withdrew their gazes and decided to save their Spirit Stones for later.

Especially the Spirit Essence Jade Liquid. All four families wanted to obtain it.

"Three million five hundred thousand Spirit Stones."

A Nascent Soul Realm cultivator spoke up, and bids immediately rose one after another throughout the venue.

"Three million six hundred thousand Spirit Stones."

"Three million nine hundred thousand Spirit Stones."

"..."

The price slowly climbed, while the bidding grew more and more sparse. In the end, it stopped at six million Spirit Stones.

Zhu Li called out, "Six million, once..."

"Six million five hundred thousand."

Su Chen's indifferent voice rang out. Everyone present immediately turned to look at him, their eyes filled with confusion.

What was going on?

Hadn't they said that the Su Family barely had any Spirit Stones left? How could they still spend six and a half million to buy a Myriad Spirit Pill?

Li Feichi's eyes narrowed as he said sarcastically, "This is the Myriad Treasures Pavilion auction. You can't just shout out any price you please. Can the Su Family afford six million five hundred thousand Spirit Stones right now?"

In his view, there was no way the Su Family could produce that many Spirit Stones.

Although the Myriad Treasures Pavilion did not participate in conflicts between the various factions, it still understood the situation in Bright Moon City.

Zhu Li said solemnly, "Young friend, bidding is no laughing matter. The consequences of making a random bid are severe."

Without a word, Su Chen directly tossed over a Space Ring.

Zhu Li accepted it and examined it briefly. His stern face immediately broke into a smile.

"Six million five hundred thousand, once... twice... sold."

"Young Clan Leader Su, once the auction ends, the pill will be delivered to you immediately."

People in business cared least about saving face. Their expressions changed like chameleons, shifting whenever they pleased.

Su Chen nodded indifferently, then cast a slightly mocking look at Li Feichi. He said nothing, but his eyes were filled with contempt.

Yet that very attitude made Li Feichi grit his teeth in hatred.

Su Chen!

Sooner or later, I'll kill you and avenge Li Qiu.

Li Feichi's eyes were filled with confusion. How could the Su Family possibly still have so many Spirit Stones?

Several more items were auctioned afterward. Nearly all of them were at the Nascent Soul Realm level, but without exception, Su Chen bought every one. He even paid for them on the spot each time, leaving everyone completely dumbfounded.

Hadn't they said the Su Family was dirt-poor?

He had spent nearly forty million Spirit Stones in this short while. Even the Wang Family wouldn't dare squander money so extravagantly, would they?

Wang Ming's eyes were filled with coldness. He had an ominous feeling.

"What exactly is going on!?"

The Wang Family steward beside him immediately said, "Master, it doesn't make sense. The information sent by our people inside the Su Family is certain. The Su Family has at most one million Lower-Grade Spirit Stones right now. It's impossible for them to have this many more."

"Besides, those people have worked with us for some time. There's no way they would betray us."

Wang Ming's expression darkened. He recalled the information that person had given him some time ago. It seemed that something had changed within the Su Family.

"Keep watching. I don't believe Su Chen can afford everything."

At the venue.

Zhu Li raised his hand and waved. Four flags of different colors appeared on the stone platform, each containing immense energy.

He once again announced loudly, "The thirteenth item is a Mysterious Grade Intermediate formation, the Four Symbols Array. It can attack and defend. Most importantly, this formation has been inscribed within the flags, making it easy to carry. However, activating it each time requires a large amount of Spiritual Energy."

"The starting bid is ten million Lower-Grade Spirit Stones."

The venue immediately fell silent. Although the Four Symbols Array was excellent, its price was also extremely high.

Everyone turned their gazes toward the five great families. Now that a Mysterious Grade Intermediate treasure had appeared, the items that followed would probably no longer be within their power to compete for. They could only watch the show.

Li Feichi said indifferently, "Eleven million Spirit Stones."

The Li Family's strength was inferior to that of the Wang Family and Yuan Family. They probably had little chance of obtaining the Spirit Essence Jade Liquid this time, so he might as well buy something useful.

After he made his bid, the venue fell silent, and no one continued bidding.

Clearly, the other great families also felt that there was no need to compete for this item.

"Twelve million."

Su Chen's lazy voice rang out.

Li Feichi immediately turned to look at him, his eyes blazing with fury. "Su Chen!"

He was utterly baffled. How could the Su Family possibly still have so many Spirit Stones?

"I bid thirteen million Spirit Stones!"

Su Chen spoke again. "Twenty million Spirit Stones."

Hiss!

Upon hearing Su Chen's bid, many people in the venue immediately sucked in a cold breath. He had raised the price by seven million in one go. Such ferocious bidding had never appeared before.

Everyone had been trying to save wherever possible, increasing their bids little by little.

Just how many Spirit Stones did the Su Family have to withstand Su Chen's reckless bidding?

Li Feichi hated him so much that his teeth ached. He truly wanted to hack Su Chen to death immediately, but this was the territory of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, and he didn't dare to act recklessly.

Twenty million Spirit Stones had exceeded his expectations for the Four Symbols Array. He snorted coldly and said nothing more.

Let's see how much money your Su Family has left!

He didn't believe Su Chen could keep acting this arrogantly and buy every single item.

Su Chen directly tossed over a Space Ring. After Zhu Li inspected it, he once again laughed and announced, "Congratulations to Young Clan Leader Su on purchasing the Four Symbols Array."

Seeing this, Su Yunqian couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Chen'er, even if you have Spirit Stones, you can't spend them like this."

Su Chen said calmly, "Second Uncle, they're just a few Spirit Stones. I was planning to spend ten billion, but I haven't even used a tenth of that yet. The people of Bright Moon City are truly too poor. They haven't put any pressure on me at all."

The corners of Su Yunqian's mouth twitched. He truly was a well-fed man who didn't know the hunger of the starving.

Do you know what ten billion Spirit Stones even means?

Under the Su Family's previous business operations, even if they earned five million Spirit Stones a year, they would have to save for two hundred years without eating or drinking to accumulate ten billion Spirit Stones.

And after accounting for the Su Family's expenses, they could save only one or two million Spirit Stones a year. It would take nearly a thousand years to accumulate ten billion Spirit Stones.

Zhu Li took out another item. It was an exquisite porcelain bottle, and faint essence energy emanated from within.

"Everyone, I'm sure you all know about the fourteenth treasure coming up."

"Spirit Essence Jade Liquid. It can help a cultivator at Nascent Soul Perfection break through to the Nascent Soul Stage without any barrier, and it has no side effects."

Here it comes!

The eyes of everyone in the venue burned with excitement. Su Yunqian was no exception. This was precisely why the Su Family had come to the auction.

Of course, this was also what the other great families wanted to buy.

However, the Spirit Essence Jade Liquid was only ranked fourteenth. Wouldn't that mean the final treasure was even more precious than it?

Zhu Li said calmly, "The starting bid is seventy million Lower-Grade Spirit Stones."
