Three days later, it was time to apply.

Fang Han put on a clean green robe, hung up Flowing Wind Sword, picked up a suitcase containing a huge sum of money, and got up to go out.

Take the carriage provided by the hotel and drive Fang Han to the city center according to the address on the invitation letter.

A vast and magnificent five-story pavilion comes into view.

The pavilion is made of mahogany and colored glaze, with cornices and carved beams. On the lintel hangs a huge gold lettering Plaque--"Hundred Treasures Pavilion".

At this moment, there was already a lot of traffic in front of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, and all kinds of gorgeous carriages filled the open space in front of the door.

There was an endless stream of warriors and wealthy businessmen dressed in Brocade Robe colors and with extraordinary auras. Under the guidance of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion waiters, they entered the hall in an orderly manner.

Fang Han showed the purple and gold invitation letter, and a middle-aged man who looked like a manager immediately had a smile on his face and respectfully led him into the building, along the soft carpeted stairs, straight to the second floor.

The second floor is completely different from the hustle and bustle below. It is divided into several independent boxes, and the environment is quiet and elegant.

Fang Han was introduced to a private room named "Autumn Leaves".

The private room is luxuriously furnished, the tables and chairs are all made of precious wood, and the incense burner burns the calming Sandalwood Incense.

On the outside is a huge skylight, from which you can clearly see the auction table below.

Exquisite tea snacks and seasonal fresh fruits have been prepared on the table.

"Fang True Disciple, if you need anything, just ring the bell rope on the wall. There is Maid outside the door, ready for orders at any time."

The steward bowed and said.

"Thank you." Fang Han nodded slightly.

The steward respectfully retired and gently closed the door.

Fang Han walked to the skylight and looked down.

The auction hall was packed with seats and the crowds were buzzing.

Various auras are intertwined, including some tyrannical ones. It is obvious that this auction has attracted many experts.

His eyes swept across the crowd below, and he also caught a glimpse of the vague figures behind several other box windows.

Those who can enter this box must either have a distinguished status, have strong financial resources, or both.

Fang Han sat down on the chair by the window and waited quietly for the auction to begin.

At the time of application, a clear bell rang throughout the auction house.

The lights in the hall dimmed slightly, and only the auction stage shone brightly.

The bells were ringing, and the hustle and bustle in the auction hall gradually subsided, and all eyes invariably focused on the auction stage where the light gathered.

A slim and beautiful figure slowly walked out from behind the scenes, instantly attracting the attention of everyone.

It is Lan Yuexin.

Today she changed into a more formal moonlight-colored dress, with the hem of the skirt embroidered with silver threads with complicated cloud patterns.

The radiance shone as she walked, making her skin become more radiant and whiter, and her face was incomparably beautiful.

"Welcome all distinguished guests to the Hundred Treasures Pavilion Golden Brilliance City auction. The little girl Lan Yuexin will be the host of this auction."

Lan Yuexin stood in front of the stage, his voice clear and sweet, like beads falling on a jade plate, clearly spreading to every corner of the hall, instantly suppressing the last trace of noise.

"Without further ado, so as not to waste your precious time, the auction begins now! Please take a look at the first lot, a pot of Meditation Grass from outside the county."

"Just place it in the room and it will continue to produce a calming effect. Whether it is given as a gift or for personal use, it is a rare herb... The starting price is 100,000."

Her words were concise, but she had a convincing charm. She raised her beautiful hands lightly, and a Maid wearing a cheongsam came up with a tray in hand.

In the tray, there is a pot of blue plant.

"120,000."

"140,000."

"150,000."

The auction officially begins.

The auction hosted by Lan Yuexin had a great typhoon. The introduction of each item was accurate, the words were humorous yet professional, and he was good at stimulating the atmosphere.

Whenever the bidding becomes dull, her few well-timed words of encouragement or ridicule can rekindle the enthusiasm of the bidders.

There were many warriors and wealthy businessmen present. Perhaps they came here for the few items in the finale, but under her guidance, they couldn't help but become interested in some items that they didn't pay much attention to at first.

The atmosphere at the scene was lively, with biddings coming one after another. Weapons, soft armor, Danyao, medicinal materials, and even some rare and rare treasures were all sold at good prices.

Fang Han sat in the box and watched quietly, not in a hurry to take action.

Although the auction items shown above are all considered to be high-quality products, they are not of high value to him today.

His goal is clear, and it should be used for high-value physical objects Recharge, preferably something that seems useful to him, so as not to appear abnormal.

Time passed quietly and the auction was halfway through.

"The next lot is a 300-year-old wild ginseng!"

Lan Yuexin uncovered the red silk, revealing a jade box about a foot long.

Inside the box, a ginseng with beards, a shape resembling a human figure, and a pale golden body lies quietly, exuding a strong medicinal fragrance.

"This ginseng was born on the top of the extremely cold snow-capped mountains. It has absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon for three hundred years. Its medicinal properties are mild and mellow. It is a holy medicine for healing injuries, prolonging life, strengthening the body and strengthening the body. The base price is 300,000 taels, and each increase in price must not be less than 10,000 taels!"

"Three hundred and fifty thousand!"

"Four hundred thousand!"

The bidding is quite fierce. Although the 300-year-old wild ginseng cannot kill human flesh and bones like Millennium Ginseng, it is enough to save people's lives at critical moments.

It is extremely attractive to any warrior or force.

"1.1 million."

Fang Han's eyes moved slightly. This thing is worth a lot of money, and it is the kind of thing that he seems to be able to use.

When he raised the price to 1.1 million, the bidding began to become sparse.

After all, 1.1 million is equivalent to 550,000 tons of silver, which is no small amount.

"1.3 million."

In the end, Fang Han bought this 300-year-old wild ginseng for 1.3 million yuan.

Not long after, another auction item caught Fang Han's attention.

"Calming Jade. If worn on the body, it has the effect of clearing the mind and concentrating the mind and assisting in enlightenment."

"It is very helpful when practicing internal skills and understanding martial arts. The base price is three hundred thousand taels..."

This is a piece of beautiful jade that is about the size of a palm, white in color and warm to the touch, exuding a faint cool connotation.

"One million and one hundred thousand."

Fang Han bid again, and after several rounds of bidding, he finally bought the jade for 1.1 million taels.

He took photos of these two things, and they were both reasonable.

Three-hundred-year-old ginseng is a life-saving thing, and Calming Jade assists in cultivation, which are urgently needed by warriors. Although the price is high, with his status as the genius True Disciple, he can completely afford it and does not arouse suspicion.

The auction continues with climax after another.

Finally, when another final item was sold at a high price, Lan Yuexin's beautiful eyes swept across the audience, the smile on his face was slightly reduced, and there was a hint of solemnity.

"Next, is the final highlight of this auction--"

Her words succeeded in whetting everyone's appetite, and the whole auction house could hear the drop of a needle.

Two Guards with heavy breaths carried a huge Cold Jade box onto the stage. The moment the box lid opened, a hot and majestic blood with a wild atmosphere suddenly filled the air.

Inside the jade box, cushioned with soft red velvet, a fist-sized, red-gold fruit with natural cloud patterns on its surface, shaped like a heart, was placed quietly.

The fruit seemed to have red-gold liquid flowing under the light, emitting heart-stopping energy fluctuations.

"Vajra Fruit!"

Lan Yuexin's voice carries a yearning emotion.

"This fruit originates from Vajra Bodhi Tree of Vajra Temple. It takes ninety years to ripen. It contains immeasurable blood energy and body-tempering essence. It is a supreme treasure medicine!"

"Taking it can change the muscles and cleanse the marrow, greatly strengthen the body, consolidate the foundation of martial arts, and obtain a powerful body comparable to Horizontal Training martial arts. The base price is three million taels, and each increase in price must not be less than one hundred thousand taels!"

"Now, start bidding!"

"Three and a half million!"

"Four million!"

"Four, three million!"

The price soared like a rocket, exceeding the five million mark in an instant.

Those who participated in the bidding were mainly VIPs in several boxes on the second floor. Everyone in the hall had long been reduced to spectators.

Fang Han did not bid immediately. He glanced at several box windows where bidding sounds could be heard.

When his eyes passed over a box diagonally opposite, his pupils shrank slightly.

Behind the window of the box, a figure could be vaguely seen.

This figure is wearing a Nether Pavilion disciple uniform with strange dark flame patterns embroidered on the cuffs and hem. The only difference from the ordinary Nether Pavilion disciple clothing is that the other party's clothing is made of silver silk, and the patterns are more complex and delicate.

It is Nether Pavilion True Disciple. The identity of the other party is obviously Nether Pavilion True Disciple, and it is not an ordinary True Disciple.

Even from a distance, he could feel a vague but extremely dangerous aura from his body, like a dormant poisonous snake, cold and biting.

"Prodigy Ranking level True Disciple..."

Fang Han felt awe-struck in his heart.

The person who can give him such a sense of danger is definitely Nether Pavilion True Disciple ranked Prodigy Ranking.

It's just that he has just entered the Tianjiao List and has not had much contact with the true disciples of this level. He doesn't know which one of the nine geniuses in Netherworld Pavilion is the true successor.

Reminiscent of Shen You who was carrying a huge sum of money but was killed by himself.

An idea came to mind, Shen You might have come to send money to True Disciple, a fellow disciple, but the money was not delivered and the person died.

Bidding continues.

"Five and a half million!"

An old voice came from the "A" box.

"Six million!"

Nether Pavilion True Disciple spoke, his voice hoarse and low, with an unmistakable coldness.

"Six million three hundred thousand."

Fang Han finally bid.

"Six and a half million!"

Box A follows up.

"Seven million!"

Nether Pavilion True Disciple has increased the price again, which is very impressive.

This price made Box A silent.

The entire auction house was silent. Seven million taels was a sky-high price!

Lan Yuexin's beautiful eyes moved and looked towards the "Autumn Leaves" box where Fang Han was:

"Seven million taels, Shadowveil The VIP in the box bids seven million taels, is there anything higher?"

"Seven million and one million." Fang Han said calmly.

"Seven million three hundred thousand!"

Nether Pavilion True Disciple followed immediately, with a trace of impatience in his tone.

"Seven and a half million."

Fang Han increased the price again, and currently has more than 10 million in banknotes in his hand, which makes him appear calm and unhurried.

Shadowveil In the box, the young man wearing True Disciple uniform with silver patterns, his face instantly turned gloomy.

His name is Yin Huang, and he is ranked 81st on Prodigy Ranking.

This time, he came to Golden Brilliance City for Vajra Fruit, hoping to use this to push a powerful body-refining secret technique to a higher level.

Unexpectedly, the more than four million yuan escorted by Shen You that was supposed to be delivered before the auction failed to arrive smoothly.

As a result, he had to raise additional funds, but the time was too short and he was in a hurry and failed to raise enough funds.
