At the same time.
The moment Gongzhi Yang heard that voice...
The look in his eyes darkened completely, as though water might drip from them.
However.
For the sake of the sect's future support, Gongzhi Yang had no choice but to endure the pain and continue bidding.
"This Lord offers twenty-seven Grade-A rare treasures, one [Three-Star Crystal Essence], one [Phoenix Fire Primordial Wood Heart], one [Azure Sky Divine Wood Heart], one piece of [Crimson Fire Immortal Copper], one piece of [Frost Nine-Yin Mystic Iron], one [Sun-Casting Divine Crystal Stone], one piece of [Grand Unity Refined Gold], one [Mystic Ice Dragon Soul]...
"And fifty Grade-B rare treasures."
Upon hearing this.
Behind the black gauze hanging from his conical hat, a faint smile curved Cheng Buzheng's lips.

Gongzhi Yang's bid this time was equivalent to adding only one more type of Grade-A rare treasure.
It was utterly unlike his earlier manner of throwing money around with grand generosity.

Gongzhi Yang did not have much room left to raise the price.

Such cultivation methods, divine abilities, and secret arts with no traceable origin whatsoever would absolutely make many powerful cultivators believe that he had obtained the inheritance of some mighty sect.
When that time came, things would not be so simple as they were
