"You filthy Xia Family! Won't you leave us alone?" the Mo Family patriarch roared with rage.
"Haha, calm down, you two. Don't bring disgrace to the name of the three great families of Cloud City," another old voice echoed close to them.
"Hmph." The two others replied with a scoff.
"Hmmm… aren't those the bastards who slaughtered my so-called family?" Jack muttered with a slight frown.
Ding!
Some fresh mission from this mighty system!
Dare to kill my so called family and steal me dry ? Courting death!
first mission : don't let them take a shit from this auction
Reward : all the spirit stones you lost will be replicated by 10x times.
Second mission : steal them dry ! Humiliate them ! Kill their heirs ! Before ultimately crushing their supposed great family into nothingness
Reward : two minor realm breakthrough cards + ??
"Hoho… now this is something interesting
," Jack muttered as a predatory smile took over his handsome face after he heard the system pleasant voice.
The bidding continued, but after some time, the three families and those in the silver seating area stopped bidding as the price had exceeded their limits for a low grade item. The bidding had reached more than half a million low-grade spirit stones, with only the VIP rooms still shouting.
Half a million low spirit stones! I hope those juniors will give the Heavenly Mountain Sect some face," an old man's voice echoed with an oppressive aura.
"Hahaha, old fart! Your sect doesn't deserve a bit of respect. 550,000 from the Silver Sword Sect!"
You!" The elder of the Heavenly Mountain Sect roared as he clenched his fists so hard that his hands started to bleed. Of course, such pain was nothing to a grandmaster cultivator.
He regained his composure immediately and continued to bid against the old fart of their rival sect, as well as some other old farts from other kingdoms. The Heavenly Moon Kingdom was ruled by three sects—the Heavenly Mountain Sect, Silver Sword Sect, and Azure Sky Sect—and the royal family, which was the strongest.
The scale of power between the three sects was nearly equal, with each having three King-level cultivators as guardians of their own sect.
As the bidding was increasing at a rapid pace and the murmurs were getting louder and louder, a mechanical voice suddenly echoed in Jack's head.
Ding!
Mission triggered!
Being the host of this omnipotent system, and an insignificant mortal dares to take what is yours? Insolent!!
Buy any item you want and face-slap some old farts!
Reward: Low-grade spirit stones × multiplier.
"Haha, then I won't be polite anymore," Jack said with a faint smile as the price neared one million low spirit stones.
"950,000 from the Azure Sky Sect!"
"970,000 from the Ling Family!"
"1,000,000 from the Jiang Family!"
After the price reached one million low spirit stones, the bidding stopped completely. Even though an item that could increase elemental affinity was very rare, it was still only a low third-grade treasure.
Mei Lingxue raised her voice in excitement. "The gentleman has paid one million! Any more bids?" she called out, her tone excited—after all, she would take a share of the profit.
"Hahaha! 1,100,000 from the Long Family!"
"Hmph… those bastards," the Jiang Family's old man murmured to himself with some annoyance. His Jiang Family was the absolute ruler of the Heavenly Moon Kingdom, having six King Realm cultivators including himself.
As for the Long Family, it was the royal family of the Stormviel Kingdom. Their power was very close to that of the Jiang Family, and since their borders were nearby, battles would erupt from time to time.
"1,200,000 from the Jiang Family!"
"Haha, don't try, old fart! 1,300,000 from the mighty Long Family!"
"Mighty, my ass! 1,400,000 from the Jiang Family!"
"How dare you???" The old man from the Long Family unleashed his oppressive aura, his eyes filled with venomous anger.
The old Jiang man didn't back down as he released his aura in response.
"Hahaha, come here, old ass!"
"Silence!" Suddenly, an aura stronger than both of theirs combined forced them to their knees, making them cough up some blood.
One had to know that the two who were forced into the ground were ancestors of their own kingdom, each at the 6th level of the King Realm.
To make them this pitiful could only mean one thing — their opponent was at least at the 7th level of the King Realm, making him a late-stage King cultivator.
After the impact of the old man's aura had cleared, Mei Lingxue continued the auction as if nothing had happened.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have to remind you once again that using your cultivation here is forbidden."she said with a slightly threating tone.
"The bidding has reached 1.4 million low-grade spirit stones. Any more bidders?"
After a few seconds of silence, she began to count, "One… two… thr—"
"2 million low-grade spirit stones!"
The murmurs of the people in the lower areas grew louder and louder. "Holy shit, who is this young master?"
shouted another. "Did he steal a kingdom?"
Yelled someone else. "Bidding two million for a low-grade item— is he a retard?"
But the most shocked of all the people present was, without a doubt, Xu Lianhua. "Jack… you…" She couldn't even find the words to speak.
All the people in the VIP rooms grew interested, asking their followers to investigate the unknown youth who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"Investigate him now!!" Such orders echoed throughout the VIP rooms. But Alas, unfortunately for them, the auction kept the identities of VIP room customers a secret unless they chose to reveal themselves.
Mei Lingxue's excited voice echoed through the auction house. "The gentleman of VIP Room 14 has paid 2 million low-grade spirit stones! Any more bidders?"
she asked, already knowing the answer would be an absolute no. Such a treasure was estimated to sell for 1 million low-grade spirit stones, but thanks to this rich young master, the profit had increased greatly.
