Chen Changqing and Rujie were taken aback, unaware that an invitation was required to enter the auction house.

At this moment, Hua Xing casually waved his hand, and an ancient purple-gold Token immediately fell into the manager's hand.

"Ah?"

The steward looked at the Token in his hand, his hands trembling uncontrollably.

To everyone's surprise, the old man actually possessed VIP Token from the Nine Provinces Auction House.

It's important to know that the Nine Provinces Auction House doesn't issue many of these VIP Tokens; there aren't many in the entire Nine Provinces Continent.

Holding this VIP Token makes one an extremely respected guest of Nine Provinces Auction House, and one will enjoy the highest level of hospitality at any Nine Provinces Auction House auction!

"Coo coo..."

After observing for a while, the manager couldn't help but swallow hard.

He knew very well that these people in front of him, who held VIP Tokens from the Nine Provinces Auction House, must have extraordinary identities and backgrounds.

Do we still need to invite them?

Hua Xing asked casually.

Upon hearing this, the manager quickly snapped out of his daze, his face instantly plastered with a smile, and he became extremely respectful.

"You were laughing so blindly just now; you didn't even know who your distinguished guests were."

"Please follow me. The Heaven No. 1 private room is ready."

With that, the manager respectfully led Chen Changqing and the other two into the Heaven No. 1 room.

The private room was elegantly decorated, and the aroma of Spirit Tea filled the air.

Directly in front is a one-way glass window, offering a panoramic view of the entire auction hall.

"Distinguished guests, is there anything else you require?"

The steward inquired.

Hua Xing waved his hand and spoke indifferently:

"You can leave now! This is none of your business."

"Yes."

The steward bowed in agreement and then withdrew.

After the steward left, Hua Xing glanced at Chen Changqing and Rujie, and said indifferently:

"Please sit down!"

The auction is about to begin.

"To participate in the bidding, press the red button next to your seat."

Having said that, Hua Xing sat down.

Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing and Rujie exchanged glances, then, without any hesitation, sat down to the side.

At this moment, the auction hall was packed with people, and the atmosphere was bustling with noise.

A short while later, a melodious tune began to play, and the lights in the entire venue dimmed slightly.

Then, a soft beam of light shone on the center of the booth.

Amidst the interplay of light and shadow, a young woman dressed in a deep purple off-shoulder dress slowly walked onto the stage.

The young woman's hair was styled in a high bun, revealing a section of her fair and slender neck.

Her eyes held a hint of a smile and a touch of languor; her gaze was as gentle as rippling spring water.

Her red lips parted slightly, a smile appearing before she spoke.

It possesses a mature charm that is captivating.

Besides, the young woman didn't deliberately flaunt her beauty, but her graceful figure and the myriad charms she unintentionally revealed captivated the gazes of all the men present.

"What a charming young woman!"

Inside the Heaven No. 1 box, Rujie unconsciously exclaimed in admiration, his throat bobbing as he swallowed.

Seeing this, Chen Changqing shook his head and sighed helplessly.

At the same time, the beautiful young woman had walked to the front of the stage, glanced around, and said:

Welcome, distinguished guests, to Nine Provinces Auction House.

"I am Su Yao, the chief auctioneer of this branch venue!"

At this point, Su Yao smiled sweetly, her charm captivating and alluring.

After a pause, she changed the subject and continued:

"I imagine all of you distinguished guests are eagerly awaiting your return."

"Next up is the first item in today's auction."

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Yao gently raised her hand.

Then, a maidservant carrying a jade plate walked onto the display stand.

The jade plate was covered with a specially made red silk.

Su Yao walked to the maid's side, raised her jade-like hand, and directly lifted the silk.

Upon seeing this, everyone quickly looked over.

Upon closer inspection, they saw a single pill contained within the jade plate.

The pill was about the size of a longan, entirely crimson, with cloud-like patterns swirling around its surface.

Then, Su Yao began to introduce:

"Gentlemen, this pill is called the Nine-Turn Red Flame Pill!"

"It was the chief alchemist of my Nine Provinces Auction House who collected eighty-one kinds of fire- spirit medicine, including the Geocentric Fire Lotus and the Millennial Vermilion Fruit, and it took a very long time to successfully refine it."

"For Cultivators below the Spirit Transformation, consuming this will increase their chances of breaking through a bottleneck by 30%!"

"Besides this, this pill can also refine Spiritual Power and purify Fire Element Divine Abilities!"

"Starting bid: 50,000 High-grade Spirit Stones; each bid must increase by at least 1,000."

As soon as Su Yao finished speaking, a commotion broke out in the audience.

Soon, the bidding began in waves:

I'll offer 55,000!

Sixty thousand!

I'll offer 70,000!

"..."

After a bidding war, the Nine-Turn Red Flame Pill was finally sold for 200,000 High-grade Spirit Stones.

Su Yao smiled gently and clapped her hands lightly.

Next, the second item was presented.

This object is a long sword with a deep blue color throughout, and its blade seems to have flowing waves, making it quite extraordinary.

"The second item up for auction is the Azure Sea Tide-Rising Sword!"

"Rank: High-grade Spirit Treasure."

"This sword was forged from Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Iron sourced from beneath the Ten Thousand Zhang Sea Eye, and crafted by the master swordsmith of my auction house."

"On the day it was completed, it triggered an unusual tsunami."

"In addition, this Azure Sea Tide-Rising Sword possesses its own tidal field, which can draw upon the surrounding water vapor to form an endless sword tide when used against an enemy, possessing immense power!"

Starting bid: 150,000 High-grade Spirit Stones!

As soon as the Azure Sea Tide-Rising Sword was drawn, it immediately attracted the envy of many sword cultivators present.

"Sixteen thousand!"

I'll offer 170,000!

"190,000!!"

"This sword is compatible with my Cultivation Method. I hope you will all give me the honor; I will offer two hundred thousand."

"Hmph! At the auction, Spirit Stones are the deciding factor! I bid 220,000!"

"..."

The bidding was fierce, with numerous Cultivators continuously bidding.

The auction price for the Azure Sea Tide-Rising Sword is also rising rapidly.

Ultimately, the sword was acquired by a mysterious buyer in a VIP box for 600,000 High-grade Spirit Stones.

And so, the auction continued.

Under Su Yao's direction, one item after another was auctioned off.

There's the "Black Tortoise Spirit Shield," capable of withstanding a full-force attack from a Spirit Transformation Cultivator; Jade Slip containing the bizarre Movement Method "Shadow Phantom Body"; and Millennial Blood Lingzhi that prolongs life...

Each item that appeared on the auction stage caused quite a stir.

At this moment, inside the Heaven No. 1 box.

Chen Changqing remained unmoved.

Although the items that were previously auctioned were all quite good.

But it was of no use to him.

He calmly sipped his Spirit Tea, showing no intention of bidding at all.

After all, Chen Changqing possessed Duobao, including three Immortal Artifacts.

These items were simply not to his liking.

Compared to Chen Changqing's composure, Rujie, standing to the side, seemed somewhat unsettled.

Several times I wanted to press the button to bid, but alas, I was short of money.

Seeing Chen Changqing's calm expression, Hua Xing knew that her future grandson-in-law had very high standards, and these things were indeed of no appeal to him.
