Competing for Spirit Essence Jade Liquid, the Bewildered Crowd, So the Su Family Was This Rich!?

"Eighty million Spirit Stones."

Yuan Hao was the first to speak, his calm voice echoing through the auction hall.

Upon hearing this bid, quite a few people in the venue sucked in a cold breath. He had raised it by ten million in one go.

Su Chen asked, "Second Uncle, I remember the last batch of Spirit Essence Jade Liquid sold for two hundred and seventy million Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, right?"

Su Yunqian had just been about to call out a bid, but upon hearing this, he still answered, "That's right. Why do you ask?"

Having confirmed the price, Su Chen raised his hand directly. "Three hundred million Spirit Stones."

Boom!

The moment those words came out, everyone in the venue was shaken to the core. They stared at Su Chen in utter disbelief.

Three hundred million Spirit Stones!

This price was thirty million Spirit Stones higher than the last sale price for Spirit Essence Jade Liquid.

The Su Family was actually this rich!?

Who the hell had been spreading rumors that the Su Family were paupers? Drag them out and beat them to death with rods.

Could a pauper casually fork out three hundred million Spirit Stones?

Wang Ming and Yuan Hao abruptly rose to their feet, staring at Su Chen with shock written all over their faces. The He Family Head, who had just been about to bid ninety million Spirit Stones, was instantly dumbfounded.

Hm?

What had just happened?

Three hundred million Spirit Stones was simply too outrageous. Even Wang Ming had not expected it.

Su Yunqian stood frozen in place. Fine, fine, fine. So this was how you played when you had Spirit Stones?

He was someone who had lived through hard times and had always been frugal when spending Spirit Stones. Yet he did not stop Su Chen from bidding so extravagantly. Su Chen was spending his own Spirit Stones; he could do whatever he pleased.

Zhu Li was also slightly stunned. He had never expected Su Chen to bid so fiercely in a single breath. Still, he was a man who had seen the world, and he quickly recovered.

"Young Clan Leader Su has bid three hundred million Spirit Stones. Is anyone willing to go higher?"

Wang Ming's eyes were icy cold. He had never imagined that the Su Family still possessed so many Spirit Stones.

Damn it!

No wonder they had directly shut down their shops. They had been brimming with confidence; even without opening their shops, they could last for a long time.

He had miscalculated!

Wang Ming quickly composed himself and called out loudly, "Three hundred and ten million."

He gave a cold snort. The Wang Family lacked nothing less than Spirit Stones. No matter how rich the Su Family was, they could never contend with the Wang Family.

Today, he would let the Su Family witness what true wealth looked like.

Su Chen cast Wang Ming an indifferent glance, then raised his hand and bid, "Four hundred million Spirit Stones."

Wang Ming froze instantly. He stiffly turned his head and stared at Su Chen in disbelief.

He had raised it by ninety million in one go!?

Four hundred million Spirit Stones had already exceeded the value of the Spirit Essence Jade Liquid. Still, this item had a price but no market, so paying a little extra was normal—but four hundred million Spirit Stones was far too expensive, wasn't it?

As they listened to Su Chen's bid, the entire venue fell deathly silent.

Four hundred million!

This was simply too terrifying.

Su Chen, meanwhile, spoke with breezy calm. "Family Head Wang, are you still raising the bid?"

Wang Ming's expression darkened. Four hundred million was obviously far too high, but the Wang Family still had considerable Spirit Stone reserves. After thinking it over, he still spoke.

"Su Chen, don't get too smug. How could the Spirit Stones of my Wang Family be compared to those of your Su Family?"

"Four hundred and ten million Spirit Stones."

Li Feichi sneered as well. "Who are you trying to impress? Let's see how long you can keep up this act. Bidding so much at once—you must be nearing your limit, right?"

Clearly, in his view, Su Chen's method of making huge bids in one go showed that he lacked confidence and wanted to use this to frighten the Wang Family.

Upon hearing this, confidence returned to Wang Ming's face.

The Wang Family had been entrenched in Bright Moon City for so long. Even if the Su Family still had some reserves, their foundation could never be deeper than that of the Wang Family.

Su Chen gave a cold laugh and slowly said, "Five hundred million Spirit Stones."

The smiles on Wang Ming and Li Feichi's faces instantly froze.

The Su Family could still raise the bid? Just how many Spirit Stones did they have left!?

Wang Ming suddenly felt that his economic sanctions against the Su Family were nothing more than a joke. With the Su Family's funds being this abundant, would they fear his sanctions?

Still unwilling to give up, Wang Ming said, "Five hundred and—"

"Six hundred million Spirit Stones!"

Before Wang Ming could finish, Su Chen's voice directly drowned out his words.

Wang Ming's raised hand stiffened in midair. Lowering it was not an option, and continuing to bid was not an option either.

Six hundred million Spirit Stones—it was simply far too expensive.

After speaking, Su Chen added in a disdainful tone, "Family Head Wang has plenty of Spirit Stones. Why not keep raising it?"

What he had the most of was Spirit Stones. Half a month ago, he had received Spirit Stones from a check-in reward—thirty million Immortal Crystals in total.

According to the grades of Spirit Stones, they were divided into lower-grade, mid-grade, upper-grade, top-grade, Saint Crystals, and Immortal Crystals. Beyond that, he did not know.

The exchange ratio between every grade was one hundred. One Immortal Crystal was equivalent to ten billion Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

And thirty million Immortal Crystals... it was simply unimaginable.

What was more, even Su Chen's current Low-grade Spirit Roots were counted in "jing." He could not spend them all even if he tried.

As Su Chen's voice rang out, the venue once again sank into dead silence.

Wang Ming's eyelids could not help twitching wildly. The Wang Family steward beside him wore a face full of disbelief as he shouted angrily, "How could your Su Family possibly have so many Spirit Stones? I don't believe it! Steward Zhu, I suspect the Su Family is making random bids!"

He was not the only one. Everyone present refused to believe that the Su Family could produce so many Spirit Stones.

It was too terrifying, okay?

He had raised the bid by a hundred million in one go.

Six hundred million Spirit Stones was enough to buy two portions of Spirit Essence Jade Liquid!

Su Chen said blandly, "As long as it is confirmed to be mine, I will pay the Spirit Stones on the spot."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Li immediately said coldly to the Wang Family steward, "Please do not disrupt the normal order of the auction."

The Myriad Treasures Pavilion was a merchant guild, so naturally it had to protect the more valuable customer.

Besides, Su Chen had been exceedingly cooperative every time, directly paying him the Spirit Stones on the spot.

The Wang Family steward fell silent at once, but he still could not accept that the Su Family could produce so many Spirit Stones.

Wang Ming's eyes were filled with coldness. He did not continue bidding. Instead, he transmitted his voice to the Wang Family steward beside him. "Send word to those people. Move against the Su Family immediately. This time, my Wang Family will go all out and wipe out the Su Family completely."

Su Chen clearly still had Spirit Stones, so there was no point in bidding further. Six hundred million Spirit Stones far exceeded the inherent value of the Spirit Essence Jade Liquid.

He also could not accept the Su Family growing stronger again. They had to immediately begin the plan to exterminate the Su Family. Otherwise, if the Su Family gained another Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, and Su Chen broke through as well, handling the Su Family would become difficult.

The Wang Family steward's expression changed sharply upon hearing this. He respectfully nodded, then left the Myriad Treasures Pavilion at once.

Wang Ming, meanwhile, silently looked toward the members of the other three great families. The four exchanged glances with perfect tacit understanding, their eyes filled with coldness and killing intent.

After Zhu Li asked several times and confirmed that no one would raise the bid, the Spirit Essence Jade Liquid went to the Su Family.

And Su Chen directly paid the six hundred million Spirit Stones on the spot.

Looking at the mountain-like piles of Lower-Grade Spirit Stones inside the storage ring, Zhu Li could not help sucking in a cold breath. His face was full of excitement. This year's performance figures had hope of skyrocketing.

As a steward, Zhu Li naturally received a commission as well. The more goods he sold, the higher his commission would be.

Zhu Li waved his hand again, and a pill appeared on the stone platform beside him.

"Next is the finale of this auction... a sixth-grade pill, the Dragon Transformation Pill."

What!?

Wang Ming abruptly rose to his feet, staring in disbelief at the pill covered in dragon patterns atop the stone platform. The finale was actually a Dragon Transformation Pill.

This pill was similar to the Myriad Spirit Pill, but it was far more powerful. It could directly increase the cultivation of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, and only a high-level sixth-grade alchemist could refine it.

Greed immediately surged into his eyes. The Su Family had spent so many Spirit Stones on the Spirit Essence Jade Liquid just now; surely they did not have any left to purchase this Dragon Transformation Pill?

With the Wang Family's abundant assets, they could completely crush the other three great families.

If he could obtain this Dragon Transformation Pill, it would not be too bad.

A confident smile returned to Wang Ming's face.
