Su Chen was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Didn't the people below say that Xu Hua was the most powerful weapon refiner in the Human Domain?"
Ye Ningshuang shook her head slightly, "I admit that Master Xu's weapon-refining skills are very impressive, but there are actually people who are even more skilled than him. It's just that that person never competes for such empty fame, so very few people in the entire Human Domain know about him."
Su Chen became slightly interested. "Who is that person?"
Ye Ningshuang stuck out her pink tongue. "I won't tell you. I'll tell you when you make me really happy."
Su Chen felt helpless. "Didn't you say before that I could just spend half a month with you? Why did you change the terms again?"
Ye Ningshuang snorted softly, "What? Is it not allowed?"
Su Chen smiled wryly, "Alright, alright."
Ye Ningshuang's lips curled up. "Isn't that settled then? Let's continue watching the auction."
On the other hand, the final price of that sword was set at 100,000 top-grade immortal crystals. This was no small sum; most rogue Rogue Cultivator couldn't afford it, and even those who could would feel the Rogue Cultivator.
Only powerful forces could afford to spend so many top-grade immortal crystals without feeling the pinch, and the owner who won the bid for this sword was indeed from a powerful force. However, since the person was in a private room, their face could not be seen, and their identity could not be guessed.
After that, Miss Yafu auctioned off five more items, each one better than the last, each one surprising the audience.
While the items were astonishing, the prices were also incredibly astonishing. For example, the fifth item sold for a million top-grade immortal crystals, and those who could afford such a large quantity of immortal crystals were naturally the people in the private rooms.
As for the people at the auction, they didn't manage to bid on a single item. The reason was simple: they were poor. They were Rogue Cultivator, and they didn't have many immortal crystals to begin with. If they used all their possessions to bid on goods, they probably wouldn't even be able to afford food.
Furthermore, even if they manage to win the bid, they can't hold onto it. Once they leave the Jiade Auction, they'll definitely be followed, and a whole bunch of people will try to snatch it away. How can they possibly defend themselves then?
Therefore, although some of the Rogue Cultivator in the arena could afford to pay a price, they dared not bid unless they had a powerful backer. But if they had a powerful backer, they wouldn't be Rogue Cultivator in the first place.
Su Chen sized up Yafu and asked, "Do you know this Miss Yafu?"
Ye Ningshuang glanced at Su Chen, "Why are you so concerned about her?"
Su Chen smiled and said, "I'm just curious about her identity."
Ye Ningshuang rolled her eyes, then shook her head and said, "I don't know, but we can ask Xiaoman."
She called softly, " Xiaoman."
Creak~
The door opened and Xiaoman came out. She didn't leave, but stayed outside the door. The reason she wasn't inside was because she was afraid of disturbing Su Chen and Ye Ningshuang.
Xiaoman approached Ye Ningshuang and smiled, " Miss Ye, what can I do for you?"
Ye Ningshuang pointed at Yafu and asked, "Do you know who this Miss Yafu is?"
Xiaoman glanced at Yafu, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, saying, "I know."
Ye Ningshuang asked, "Could you tell us about it?"
"This..."
Xiaoman looked troubled. " Miss Yafu instructed us not to reveal her identity, or the consequences would be severe."
Su Chen smiled slightly, "We're just curious, that's all. If you can't tell us, then don't. It's alright."
The voice was very gentle, making Xiaoman's heart pound wildly. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "If you want to know, I can tell you, but please don't tell anyone else."
Ye Ningshuang's eye twitched, somewhat speechless.
Su Chen smiled and said, "Thank you."
A Hong Yun crept onto Xiaoman's face, then she shook her head and said, "It's nothing."
She looked at Yafu on the stage, " Miss Yafu is actually the daughter of the president of our Jiade Auction."
"Oh?"
Ye Ningshuang was filled with surprise. She hadn't expected that Yafu's identity was so important—the daughter of the president of Jiade Auction, that was quite extraordinary.
Xiaoman continued, " Miss Yafu is actually here to test us, and incidentally, she'll be serving as the auctioneer for this event."
She stopped there.
Ye Ningshuang said, "Thank you."
Xiaoman shook her head and said, "It's nothing. Is there anything else?"
Ye Ningshuang looked at Su Chen.
Su Chen glanced at the items being auctioned and then said, "Your items at Jiade's auction are so valuable, doesn't anyone dare to rob us outright?"
Xiaoman smiled and said, "No one dares to, because the president of our Jiade Auction is Immortal Emperor. If anyone dares to snatch it, the president will not let them off."
Su Chen laughed, "No wonder Jiade Auction the number one auction house in the Human Domain. Alright, we're all done, you can go back to your work."
Xiaoman nodded and then left the private room.
After Xiaoman left, Ye Ningshuang asked, "Did you notice something?"
Su Chen smiled and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Ye Ningshuang said, "This is the first time I've seen you so curious about someone's identity. I don't believe it if there's no reason. You... you wouldn't actually have taken a liking to Yafu, would you?"
Su Chen shook his head and said, "How could that be? Having you is enough for me."
Ye Ningshuang blushed, feeling a warm glow in her heart.
Su Chen looked at Yafu and then asked, "Do you know what realm she is?"
Ye Ningshuang was taken aback, then frowned and said, "Judging from her aura, she seems to be at the Immortal Saint Realm."
Su Chen shook his head and said, "That's not right."
Ye Ningshuang was stunned. "She was hiding her strength?"
Su Chen nodded and said, "Yes, her true strength is at the Immortal Sovereign Realm."
"What!"
Ye Ningshuang's pupils widened. "Are you sure you're not joking?"
Su Chen shook his head and said, "No, she is indeed at the Immortal Sovereign Realm, but her aura is still unstable. She must have just broken through recently."
Ye Ningshuang looked at Yafu in shock, "If she really is at the Immortal Sovereign Realm, that's incredibly powerful."
Su Chen nodded and said, "Your talent for cultivation is indeed quite good. If you work harder, you might be able to break through to that realm."
Ye Ningshuang raised an eyebrow and asked, "Above the Immortal Emperor?"
Su Chen said, "Hmm."
Ye Ningshuang asked doubtfully, "I admit that her talent for cultivation is extraordinary, but it's probably impossible for her to break through to that realm, right? After all, the Heavenly Dao wouldn't allow it."
Su Chen calmly said, "This world is about to descend into chaos. Countless geniuses and prodigies will be born, and powerful individuals will break through to that realm."
"The world is going to be in chaos? Countless geniuses and prodigies will be born? Some powerful individuals will break through to that realm? What are you talking about? I don't understand." Ye Ningshuang was somewhat confused.
Su Chen smiled slightly, "I was just talking nonsense, and you actually believed me?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Ningshuang said speechlessly, "Is this interesting?"
Su Chen smiled and said, "I think it's quite interesting."
Ye Ningshuang scoffed, "I can't be bothered with you."
She turned her head to look at the auction, ignoring Su Chen.
