Jiang Xiaobai completely ignored Wenwen’s cold snort and instead was quietly talking with Gu Ning. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Soon, more and more people entered the auction hall in earnest, all drawn by the treasures that the ancient family had painstakingly brought forth for this occasion.

Particularly, there were rumors of some extraordinary treasure this time.

Many were eagerly eyeing the auction stage, and some people became too impatient, constantly clamoring for the start of the auction.

Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, Gu Leng didn’t waste any time and kicked off the auction.

“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the auction organized by my ancient family. Those who have come here must also be here for those treasures, and I will not waste your time further,”

“I declare, the auction, starts now!”

As Gu Leng’s voice fell, the entire venue fell silent, and everyone’s eyes were fixed on the auction stage.

The auction was officiated by Gu Leng himself. With a wave of his hand, someone brought over a large box.

When the box was opened, various tools were revealed inside, such as hammers and pliers, which looked like tools for making treasures.

However, these objects had clearly seen some years, with varying degrees of wear and tear on each.

Upon seeing these, the crowd collectively took a sharp, cold breath.

“Goodness, the ancient family really dug deep for this auction, didn’t they?”

“Bringing something like this out, even Liuguang Villa couldn’t get this treasure from the ancient family despite the steep price they were willing to pay!”

“The ancient family must be feeling the pinch this time, these are the tools of Master Fan Tian, the most formidable weapon smith from a thousand years ago. These tools not only greatly assist in weapon smithing but are also extremely valuable collectables!”

The audience was stunned the moment they saw these objects on the stage.

These might not be particularly valuable to common people, but for weapon smithing forces and masters, these were considered treasures among treasures.

More valuable than life itself!

This is only the first auction item. What exactly does the ancient family want to do?

Everyone was shocked by the magnitude of the ancient family’s move and couldn’t recover their senses until Gu Leng announced the starting bid of thirty million top-grade spirit stones.

And the first to bid, naturally, was someone from Liuguang Villa!

They had known in advance about this auction and that the ancient family would auction off these tools. This was specifically mentioned by Gu Leng when he notified them.

This time, in order to raise funds, the ancient family had carefully investigated the needs of all forces and informed them of all the items that would be up for auction, and then inserted plants in the crowd to drive up the prices.

The ancient family understood clearly that once these people saw such treasures, they would inevitably bid at any cost to secure them.

A slight increase in price, they wouldn’t mind.

Just like with the box of smithing tools now, after Gu Leng stated the price, the people from Liuguang Villa straightaway bid one hundred million top-grade spirit stones!

Everyone couldn’t help but take a sharp intake of breath, realizing that Liuguang Villa was hell-bent on securing the item.

Everyone knew that Liuguang Villa was the most renowned weapon smithing force in the entire Northern State, with immense influence, equivalent to the Medicine King Sect among pill refining forces, and highly respected by everyone.

After all, who doesn’t want a good weapon!

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes narrowed slightly.

If all the auction items were like this, his plan could hardly be realized.

Like now, these smithing tools were useless to him, and increasing the price at this point would only earn him the enmity of Liuguang Villa.

After all, money was money, no matter whose it was.

They could bid one hundred million top-grade spirit stones, firstly, to deter others, and secondly, to give face to the ancient family, paying a bit more money.

The current one hundred million top-grade spirit stones compared to the price they negotiated with the ancient family before, was nothing.

But if they didn’t scrape off some profit from it, the ancient family would really look bad.

After everyone quieted down a few seconds later, there was a shout from the back of the crowd.

“One hundred and one million top-grade spirit stones!”

This was the shill the ancient family had planted to drive up the price.

Everyone understood what was happening, and Liuguang Villa also understood, so they immediately raised the price to two hundred million top-grade spirit stones.

Everyone was excited. Could the first auction item really reach such a high price?

What about the following ones?

On the stage, Gu Leng nodded when he heard the price. It was within the ancient family’s expectations.

Indeed, letting the shill continue to bid could earn them more, but it would certainly offend Liuguang Villa.

Therefore, Gu Leng made a prompt decision and brought down the hammer.

“Sold, congratulations to Liuguang Villa for getting the first auction item. Congratulations!”

Gu Leng laughed.

The person from Liuguang Villa also heaved a sigh of relief and gave Gu Leng a grateful look.

With the great success of the first auction item, the prices of the subsequent items were even more shocking.

The items being auctioned were also incredibly unique: treasures, martial techniques, special materials, unique spiritual medicines, and more, providing a dazzling array.

The entire auction hall was filled with fiery passion.

It’s worth mentioning that Jiang Xiaobai started to bid from the sixth item – a valuable hairpin.

It was of top-grade quality and contained some special effects that could enhance one’s cultivation, especially beneficial for those past the Dividing the gods stage. This treasure had a greater effect, stabilizing a cultivator’s spirit.

This object was just perfectly useful for Ao Yan.

Jiang Xiaobai snatched the treasured hairpin from everyone’s hands with an astonishing price.

The people of the Medicine King Sect and others changed their expressions as they looked at Jiang Xiaobai.

Wenwen was surprised and said, “Have you gone mad? Although this hairpin is of good quality and has good effects, is it worth fifty million top-grade spirit stones?”

Jiang Xiaobai responded with an indifferent attitude and gestured with his hand, “I have plenty of money, what’s this amount to me?”

“You…”

Wenwen felt like he had something to say but couldn’t articulate it.

He could only snort silently in his heart at Jiang Xiaobai’s ostentatious display of wealth.

For the other items that followed, as Jiang Xiaobai had predicted, they were not all specifically targeted at other forces, so Jiang Xiaobai no longer hesitated and started implementing his plan.

In a word, whatever he could get, he took.

If it was useful to him, no matter what astronomical price was quoted, he would secure it.

After all, the spirit stones he gave to the ancient family were fake, so he didn’t feel the slightest pain.

However, such behaviour left everyone present in shock.

Was this the legendary tactics of the hedonistic son of a terrifyingly powerful force, the Void Prince?

He simply doesn’t treat money as money!

Amidst the gasps of the crowd, Gu Leng on the stage was almost bursting with laughter.
