Sacred Radiance Stone—Crazy, Treating Money Like Dirt!

Qian Renxue forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart and pulled Jiang Nanchen into the room.

After thinking it over, Jiang Nanchen decided to keep quiet.

A few words had already angered Qian Renxue.

After lurking in Heaven Dou City for so long, her patience should have been top-notch.

At that moment, a woman in a red qipao with a voluptuous figure walked out at the center of the auction house.

"Welcome, everyone. I'm today's host, and I'll be introducing the first auction item: a storage soul tool!"

As soon as she finished speaking, another delicate-looking woman walked up carrying a tray. She pulled away the red cloth covering it, revealing the storage soul tool. It was a beautiful belt worn around the waist, adorned with several gemstones.

"The starting price is one hundred gold soul coins!"

Before long, quite a few voices began calling out bids below.

"Two hundred!"

"Five hundred!"

One bid after another followed.

Qian Renxue raised a brow and smiled. "Do you want it?"

"No. It's too flashy. I prefer a more low-key style—bracers, necklaces, rings, something like that."

Jiang Nanchen answered with utmost seriousness.

Bracers would be fine.

But a waist-worn storage soul tool like this? Forget it. Mainly because of those gemstones.

It was as if it feared no one would know you were a nouveau riche.

"Are you ordering from a menu?"

"You sure have a lot of demands!"

Qian Renxue rolled her eyes.

"You asked. I had to answer."

Jiang Nanchen lay down.

"Besides, the storage soul tool will be paid for by Brother Crown Prince. Hehe, I don't think Brother Crown Prince would want people to know that I'm living in your residence but don't even have a useful storage soul tool when I go out, right?"

Qian Renxue gave a cold snort without answering, though inwardly, she was utterly speechless at Jiang Nanchen.

He really knew how to talk. How could he be so shameless?

Calling him shameless was basically calling herself shameless, wasn't it?

Mostly because this was her younger self, Qian Renxue chose to endure it.

There was nothing she could do. If she wanted to hit Jiang Nanchen, she first had to truly bring herself to be ruthless.

Otherwise, how could she possibly strike him?

She turned her attention back to the auction.

The first item was bought by a noble.

The second item immediately after that was a thousand-year soul bone. Qian Renxue perked up, her eyes shining. "Nanchen! Do you want a thousand-year soul bone?"

Jiang Nanchen did not even open his eyes.

"No. A thousand-year soul bone is useless. I want a hundred-thousand-year soul bone!"

When he absorbed soul bones in the future, they would definitely have to start at the hundred-thousand-year level. Besides, once a soul bone was absorbed, it could not be replaced.

To Qian Renxue, Jiang Nanchen simply sounded like he was bragging. A hundred-thousand-year soul bone?

She had not even absorbed a soul bone yet, and she needed six hundred-thousand-year soul bones. Where was she supposed to find six soul bones that started at the hundred-thousand-year level?

Besides, where were there so many hundred-thousand-year soul beasts suitable for Jiang Nanchen?

Who couldn't brag? Next time, I'll say I'm about to become a god.

In the end, Qian Renxue decided that Jiang Nanchen was just a child who did not understand how precious hundred-thousand-year soul beasts were, so she chose not to hold it against him.

When she looked back at the auction, the thousand-year soul bone had already been bid up from its starting price to ten thousand gold soul coins. Still, after giving it some thought, she felt that a thousand-year soul bone truly did not suit Jiang Nanchen. At the very least, it had to be ten thousand years old.

Otherwise, it would lower Jiang Nanchen's status—and hers as well. If he was going to follow her, then ten-thousand-year soul bones were the minimum.

If they did not have any, she would ask Grandfather for them later. Spirit Hall definitely had some.

And if she could not get them, she would ask one of her other grandfathers. After all, she had been raised under the watchful care of seven grandfathers.

Before long, the thousand-year soul bone was bought by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had been passed down for a thousand years. Its foundation was profound and its wealth immense; calling it rich enough to rival a nation was no exaggeration.

The wealth accumulated over generations was no joke.

The items that followed were clothes made by excellent tailors, jewelry, and several weapons.

When the final auction item was brought out, a faint golden glow still shone through even beneath the red cloth.

Qian Renxue sensed that the object beneath the cloth was extraordinary and was just about to wake Jiang Nanchen.

But when she turned her head to look—

Jiang Nanchen was already sitting upright, his eyes gleaming as he stared at the item.

"Good stuff. Brother Crown Prince, win it for me."

Qian Renxue's mouth twitched. Her face darkened, and she even felt a trace of disgust.

You little brat, you really have no shame.

"Don't worry. Leave it to me."

Qian Renxue nodded with a smile.

The hostess lifted the red cloth, and dazzling golden light flickered through the dark auction hall.

Jiang Nanchen looked over. On the tray lay a fist-sized, milky-white stone. Its surface bore naturally formed golden patterns, as though sunlight had been sealed inside it.

"Everyone, the final auction item of today is the Sacred Radiance Stone, from Bright Sacred Cliff in the far west of the continent. We do not know its exact use, but it is undoubtedly a treasure suited for light-attribute soul masters."

"The starting price is five thousand gold soul coins!"

The moment the hostess finished speaking—

Numerous bidders immediately called out.

"Ten thousand gold soul coins!"

"Thirty thousand gold soul coins!"

Many nobles wanted to win it, but suddenly, someone in the crowd called out.

"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, one hundred thousand gold soul coins!"

Everyone froze and looked over. The refined middle-aged man in the private room was Ning Fengzhi.

Since Ning Fengzhi had joined the bidding, they naturally did not dare compete with him. More importantly, they did not have the financial means.

If they truly contested it, not only would they fail to obtain the item in the end, they might also be remembered by Ning Fengzhi. If he decided to suppress them, the losses would outweigh any gain.

Just as everyone thought no one else would bid—

A voice came from another private room.

"Two hundred thousand gold soul coins!"

The voice carried a hint of childishness, lacking the calm and steady air of an adult.

"Who was that?"

"Sounds like a child!"

Everyone looked over. Behind the glass of that private room stood a youth whose short golden hair and handsome face made him look exceptionally striking.

Everyone assumed he was the child of some noble family, while Qian Renxue, seated on the sofa behind the glass, happened to be out of sight.

"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, four hundred thousand gold soul coins!"

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect raised the price again.

Inside the private room, Jiang Nanchen was about to raise the bid to one million when Qian Renxue immediately stopped him and covered his mouth.

"Shut up! Who raises prices like that? One million? Are you crazy?!"

Qian Renxue was numb.

Before she could even bid, Jiang Nanchen had called out a price for her.

She had originally wanted to let him join in for fun.

She had not expected this little brat Jiang Nanchen to treat money as if it were nothing.

"I'll do it!"

Qian Renxue glared at Jiang Nanchen, then called out, "Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, five hundred thousand gold soul coins!"

When everyone heard that it was Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, they all fell silent. No wonder the bids had risen like that—it was Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.

Ning Fengzhi did not raise the price again either.

He had intended to buy it as a treasure for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's treasury.

Since Crown Prince Xue Qinghe wanted it, there was no need for him to keep bidding, especially since Xue Qinghe was his student.

"Five hundred thousand, going once! Five hundred thousand, going twice! Five hundred thousand, going three times!"

"Sold! Congratulations, Your Highness!"

The hostess brought down the hammer.

"Please proceed to the VIP room to complete the transaction."

Inside the private room, Qian Renxue knocked Jiang Nanchen on the head.

"Let's go."
