Chapter 470: Chapter 217: Got It (Requesting Monthly Pass)

"Profound Sun Finger, a Superior Grade Great Grandmaster Martial Arts, starting bid one million Silver Taels, each increase must not be less than one hundred thousand. The bidding starts now!" Shen Changqing announced.

One breath.

Two breaths.

...

After ten breaths, no one had placed a bid.

A moment later, a voice finally called out, "Two million Silver Taels!"

Instantly, the calm of the scene was shattered. The two million Silver Tael bid lasted only for a few breaths before being overridden by another.

"Two million five hundred thousand Silver Taels!"

"Two million six hundred thousand Silver Taels!"

...

"Three million three hundred thousand Silver Taels!"

"Three million four hundred thousand Silver Taels!"

The previous record of three million two hundred thousand Silver Taels set by the Star Plucking Hand was soon broken, and the price kept soaring.

Listening to the bids, Shen Changqing was very pleased. He had deliberately demonstrated the power of the Profound Sun Finger to make others understand just how formidable a Superior Grade Great Grandmaster Martial Arts truly was. Otherwise, it would be difficult to fetch a high price with just the words ’Superior Grade Great Grandmaster Martial Arts’ alone. Only by truly witnessing its power could it sell for an exorbitant price.

Clearly, Shen Changqing’s approach was correct. In a short period, the price had already surpassed four million Silver Taels, heading directly towards five million.

He was almost certain. The final transaction price of the Profound Sun Finger will not be less than six million Silver Taels.

Time passed. The price of the Profound Sun Finger soared beyond six million Silver Taels, climbing towards seven million. The might of that single finger demonstration had deeply impressed everyone.

If I were to obtain the Profound Sun Finger, even without the power of a Great Grandmaster, using this Martial Arts within the Grandmaster Realm would be enough to claim the title of invincible, many thought.

Therefore, for many factions, the Profound Sun Finger was a must-have. Not to mention, this Martial Arts was highly effective against Demon Evil.

Demon Evil ran rampant. It wasn’t just Great Qin that suffered from their existence; many Sect Forces also encountered attacks from Demon Evil. Facing powerful Demon Evil, having a Martial Arts that could counter them was a crucial means of survival.

"The bid is now eight million!" someone called out.

Shen Changqing remained expressionless on the surface, but he couldn’t help feeling a bit excited. The price of the Profound Sun Finger was worth several Lower Quality Great Grandmaster Martial Arts. Even with a final deal at eight million, I’ve made a huge profit. With eight million Silver Taels, if I let the Yuanyang Auction House slowly purchase Demon Evil, the number gathered will undoubtedly be substantial. The Slaughter Value obtained would then be more than six or seven times the previous amount. That would be equivalent to four or five thousand Slaughter Value. Merging a Profound Sun Finger only consumed a few dozen points of Slaughter Value at most. To exchange a few dozen points for a few thousand... Talk about a windfall profit. This is it!

Shen Changqing knew that now, with his strength as a Great Grandmaster, I’ve thoroughly opened another shortcut for rapid enhancement on my panel. In the past, if my strength wasn’t enough, even if I controlled a large fortune, I might not have been able to keep it. But now, with the status of a Great Grandmaster, all such concerns are no longer an issue. With this trend continuing, I can always exchange Martial Arts for a large amount of Slaughter Value. This will allow me to continuously advance my Realm and achieve truly immense returns. The only issue is the pace of purchasing.

Shen Changqing suppressed the excitement in his heart.

Money can buy Demon Evil, but not all at once. Demon Evil are still scarce on the market, and purchasing them isn’t easy. Therein lies a problem of time. However, I can wait. As long as it can improve my strength, what is there that I can’t wait for?

"Great General, the Silver Taels we brought are now insufficient!" a person from Dayue said in a low voice inside the private box.

Hearing this, Wang Xiao’s eyebrows furrowed. "How much Silver do we have left now?" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"After bidding for two Lower Quality Great Grandmaster Martial Arts and one top-tier Grandmaster Martial Arts, we’ve spent a total of six million two hundred thousand Silver Taels. We now have only eight million eight hundred thousand left," the person replied respectfully.

Eight million eight hundred thousand, plus the original six million two hundred thousand, meant Dayue had mobilized a total of fifteen million Silver Taels to bid for Great Grandmaster Martial Arts. However, even so, it was not nearly enough.

Wang Xiao hadn’t expected the silver to run out so quickly; he hadn’t thought too much about it when the bidding started. Now, tallying up the expenses, it seems we’re really falling short, he realized.

Listening to the bids around him, Wang Xiao said in a deep voice, "Have someone from Yuanyang Auction House come in."

"Yes!" The person stood up and opened the door to the private box, where someone was already waiting. "The Great General invites you in."

After this was said, the person from Yuanyang Auction House stepped inside and, upon seeing Wang Xiao, bowed respectfully. "Chen Feng, Appraiser from Yuanyang Auction House, greets Great General Wang!"

"Bring out the item," Wang Xiao said indifferently. The person beside him immediately took out a jade box and placed it on the table.

Once the jade box was out, he looked towards Chen Feng. "Take a look, how much is this worth?"

Hearing this, Chen Feng hurried forward, opened the jade box, and saw its contents. His expression flickered for a moment. After a short while, he closed the jade box.

"The Clear Moon Spirit Fruit is a treasure for enhancing Spiritual Power. It’s said that after a Martial Artist consumes it, their Spiritual Power can be greatly increased. If consumed by a Martial Artist in the late Grandmaster Realm, there’s a high probability they will directly advance to the Grandmaster Peak Realm. In terms of silver, it’s valued at five million taels!"

Five million taels!

Wang Xiao nodded slightly and then made his bid directly. "I offer five million taels, plus one Clear Moon Spirit Fruit!"

Clear Moon Spirit Fruit?

Upon hearing this, many people in the private boxes were perplexed. The name was very unfamiliar to them. Only a very few had heard of the Clear Moon Spirit Fruit’s reputation and were quite shocked.

Beiming Wang’s eyes darkened slightly. Dayue is really going all out, actually offering a Clear Moon Spirit Fruit! The Clear Moon Spirit Fruit is a priceless treasure. Anything that can help a Martial Artist advance to the Grandmaster Peak is an invaluable treasure. Although it’s not a guaranteed success, one can’t dismiss its value. Now, Wang Xiao has actually put forth such a treasure in his bid for the Profound Sun Finger; he’s clearly determined to win it.

His chest heaved. Beiming Wang instructed the person beside him, "Let Yuanyang Auction House’s Appraiser come in!"

"Yes!"

As Wang Xiao made his bid, the auction hall fell silent. The reason no one else bid was that they didn’t know the value of the Clear Moon Spirit Fruit. Without knowing its value, they couldn’t counter-bid.

Not only were the others puzzled, but even Shen Changqing himself was perplexed.

At that moment, someone from Yuanyang Auction House stepped forward and whispered a few words in Shen Changqing’s ear, and he suddenly understood.

Indeed, anything that could elevate a Martial Artist from the late Grandmaster Realm to the Grandmaster Peak is a treasure. If I consumed it myself, it would likely be quite effective.

Waving his hand to dismiss the person, Shen Changqing then declared loudly, "The Clear Moon Spirit Fruit is valued at five million taels, so that bid counts as ten million taels. Does anyone wish to bid higher?"

Silence. No one made an offer. Ten million Silver Taels had already reached an unprecedented peak. Even the staff of Yuanyang Auction House had never experienced such a high bid.

Seeing this, he began the countdown. "Ten million taels, going once!"

"Ten million taels, going t—"

"I offer five million taels, plus two Exquisite Awakening Fruits!" a voice interrupted Shen Changqing.

Shortly thereafter, the same person from before came forward and quietly explained what the Exquisite Awakening Fruit was and the price of such a treasure.

After a moment, Shen Changqing announced, "One Exquisite Awakening Fruit is valued at three million Silver Taels; two are valued at six million taels. So that bid totals eleven million taels. Does anyone wish to raise the price?"

BANG!!

A heavy palm slammed down, and Wang Xiao could no longer maintain his smile. "Beiming Wang, well done indeed!"

The price has become excessively high, Wang Xiao thought, but I feel reluctant to give up just like that.

"Seven million taels plus one Clear Moon Spirit Fruit!" Wang Xiao bid.

"Seven million taels plus two Exquisite Awakening Fruits!" came the counter-bid.

"Eight million eight hundred thousand taels, plus one Clear Moon Spirit Fruit!" Wang Xiao shouted, no longer bothering to mince words, directly calling out his current highest possible offer. If Great Liang still wanted to compete, then he could only temporarily give up on this Martial Arts. Nearly fourteen million Silver Taels, just to contend for a Superior Grade Great Grandmaster Martial Arts, was already a substantial overvaluation.

But now, beyond the Martial Arts itself, this was also a matter of pride.

What came next, whether Beiming Wang raised his bid or not, would suit Wang Xiao’s subsequent plans. If he doesn’t raise the bid, the Martial Arts will be mine. If he raises it, then Beiming Wang won’t have much financial strength left to compete with me for other Martial Arts. I believe that even though Great Liang’s national power is stronger than Dayue’s, they couldn’t have brought too much silver this time. Spending over ten million taels on the Profound Sun Finger, combined with previous expenditures, has nearly reached their limit. Even if there is any surplus, it wouldn’t be too much.

After a brief silence, a voice shattered Wang Xiao’s last hope. "Eight million taels plus two Exquisite Awakening Fruits."

As the words fell, Wang Xiao let out a long breath, a mix of relief and resignation.

Since Great Liang is also determined to obtain this Martial Arts, I have no choice but to give up.

With Wang Xiao relinquishing his bid, no one else could compete with Great Liang. After all, only the Imperial Court could produce such an amount of silver; not even the Supreme Sects possessed such financial backing. Therefore, in the end, the contest had narrowed down to just Wang Xiao and Beiming Wang.

Now that Wang Xiao had withdrawn, the winner was naturally Beiming Wang.

Following the end of the countdown and the announcement of the Martial Arts’ new owner, Beiming Wang, in his private box, lifted his teacup and drained it in one gulp.

"It’s mine!" he exclaimed, a faint smile on his face. There was joy in having suppressed Dayue and delight in acquiring the Profound Sun Finger.

Although I paid a heavy price, considering the power of this Martial Arts, all the expenditure was worth it, Beiming Wang felt.
