Murong Qian felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart as he saw everyone fall silent after he made his bid. It was the satisfaction of his vanity being fulfilled.
Purple Spirit Cloud, noticing the silence, was about to slam the table to make a decision when a hoarse voice suddenly rang out:
"I bid six hundred thousand Mysterious Origin Stone!"
Immediately, the hall erupted in an uproar. Clearly, no one had expected that someone would actually dare to provoke Murong Qian.
Everyone's gaze then turned to the two figures in black robes in the corner, as one of them had just made the bid.
Although it was unclear who exactly had called out, everyone understood that the two were clearly working together. Therefore, it became less important who had made the bid.
Some people even began to silently mourn for the two black-robed individuals.
Meanwhile, the bidder Aotian was inwardly lamenting; he wouldn't have dared to confront Murong Qian in Azure Wind City unless absolutely necessary. After all, this was his territory. It was unwise to go against him here.
The main reason for Aotian's concern was that when Purple Spirit Cloud took out that Fragmented Map, the one he had obtained from the Soul Elder's ruins also trembled slightly.
Since learning from Soul Elder that his Fragmented Map came from ancient times, Aotian had been unusually attentive to it.
However, no matter how much he studied it, he could not uncover its secrets. In the end, Aotian could only bury it deep within his Storage Ring.
What he did not expect was that upon seeing the Fragmented Map in Purple Spirit Cloud's hands at this Purple Gold Chamber, the one in his Storage Ring would tremble slightly.
Though it was just a brief moment, Aotian felt it clearly. This was also the first abnormal reaction from the Fragmented Map in such a long time.
Therefore, Aotian decided to auction off the Fragmented Map at all costs. After all, it was certain that the Fragmented Map had been passed down since ancient times.
The artifacts from ancient times were enough for Aotian to risk exposing his identity and offending Murong Qian, even to the point of offending the Azure Cloud Sect.
However, Aotian was not blinded by greed; he understood that if his identity were truly exposed, it would be difficult for him to leave the influence of the Azure Cloud Sect unscathed.
Thus, he used the Transformation Technique to alter his voice, making it hoarse. This way, Murong Qian would not recognize him.
Sure enough, after Murong Qian's gaze lingered on Aotian and Niu Geng for a moment, his brows furrowed slightly, clearly pondering their identities.
On the high platform, Purple Spirit Cloud noticed Aotian calling out a bid to Murong Qian and a glimmer of interest flashed in her eyes.
As the chief auctioneer of the Purple Gold Chamber, she was well aware of what the Azure Cloud Sect represented in Azure Wind City and throughout northern Fengyun Nation.
But now someone dared to bid despite the risk of offending the Azure Cloud Sect, which naturally surprised her. She then looked with great interest at Aotian sitting in the corner.
"Ha ha, I didn't expect this friend to disregard my face in front of Murong Qian. I will remember this. I bid 800,000 Mysterious Origin Stones," Murong Qian said, staring intently at Aotian as if trying to see through him.
Unfortunately for him, he failed. Aotian was completely wrapped in a black robe and wore a Black Cloak on his head; how could Murong Qian see through him?
"One million Mysterious Origin Stones!" Aotian's voice was as calm as plain water, showing no sign of disturbance due to Murong Qian's words.
Hearing Aotian continue to raise his bid, Murong Qian's expression darkened instantly, his eyes flashing with cold light. He then snorted coldly and ceased bidding.
Of course, this did not mean that Murong Qian's financial resources were inferior to Aotian's.
On the contrary, as a Candidate for Sect Leader of the Azure Cloud Sect, Murong Qian's status must be extremely prestigious. However, Murong Qian is not a fool; he knows very well that although the Fragmented Map may be an ancient artifact, it is still just a Fragmented Map and is not worth millions of Mysterious Origin Stones.
Moreover, there are even better items to come. If he were to waste Mysterious Origin Stones here, it would be quite unwise. Especially since the final item is crucial; the Sect Leader has repeatedly instructed him to ensure that the last item is secured.
Thinking of the Sect Leader's methods, Murong Qian couldn't help but shudder and made up his mind to obtain that final item. Otherwise, he could very well be eliminated from the ranks of Candidates for Sect Leader.
After a fierce internal struggle, Murong Qian decided not to continue bidding and instead quietly noted the two figures in black robes sitting in the corner.
Once the auction ends, I will let you know that the influence of the Azure Cloud Sect does not allow you to act recklessly here!
The crowd noticed that Murong Qian had stopped bidding and found it somewhat strange but did not dwell on it. As for the Fragmented Map, spending millions of Mysterious Origin Stones on an unknown Ancient Map seemed rather unwise.
Thus, the Fragmented Map was ultimately auctioned off to Aotian.
When Purple Spirit Cloud finally announced that the Fragmented Map belonged to him, Aotian let out a heavy sigh of relief.
With two Fragmented Maps now in hand, he wondered if he could uncover the secrets of the Fragmented Maps.
Thinking about this made Aotian feel somewhat excited. However, he did not show it too obviously to avoid raising suspicion.
One Fragmented Map might not be worth millions of Mysterious Origin Stones, but two Fragmented Maps could drive some martial artists crazy.
Subsequently, rare and precious items continued to appear in Purple Spirit Cloud's hands. The prices kept rising as they flowed into the hands of those present.
After more than ten auction items had passed, Aotian remained calm and composed in his seat without placing any bids.
First, I do not want to become a target. Second, although these auction items are precious, they do not significantly help Aotian.
"The next item for auction is the Third-Grade Pill Triple Pill!"
With the words of Purple Spirit Cloud, the atmosphere in the venue was completely ignited. All the martial artists looked at Purple Spirit Cloud with fiery eyes.
For most of the martial artists present, it is likely that the Triple Pill is their ultimate goal for coming here, and now, has the pill finally appeared?
Purple Spirit Cloud smiled slightly at the crowd's eager expressions and slowly took out a pill from behind.
The pill was a luminous white color, and a vast and rich spiritual energy surged out from it, rushing towards everyone.
As everyone took a slight breath, they felt refreshed. Looking at the luminous white pill, their eyes became even more fervent.
Just the fragrance emanating from the pill was enough to invigorate people; how terrifying would its effects be if consumed?
No wonder it is called the Triple Pill, capable of enhancing an Innate Martial Artist's cultivation threefold; it seems this is no empty claim.
"I believe everyone understands the effects of the Triple Pill. The starting bid is two million Mysterious Origin Stones, with each bid increasing by no less than one hundred thousand Mysterious Origin Stones. Bidding starts now!"
Upon hearing Purple Spirit Cloud's words, a wave of gasps filled the hall.
Just the starting price alone made nearly eight-tenths of the martial artists in the hall look dejected, sighing inwardly that they were fated to be without this pill...
Of course, there were also some martial artists who looked excited, as if they had already obtained the Triple Pill.
"Two Million!"
"Two Million Two Hundred Thousand!"
"Two Million Three Hundred Thousand!"
...
In the hall, a group of excited martial artists kept shouting, and the price of the Triple Pill kept rising.
"Three Million Xuan Yuan Stones!"
A calm voice rang out, and everyone's gaze once again fixed on Murong Qian.
Because this price was called out by Murong Qian.
The name "Murong Qian" seemed to carry immense deterrent power, causing the previously enthusiastic martial artists to deflate like punctured balloons, no longer daring to call out bids.
Most of the martial artists in the hall focused their attention on Aotian, as he was the only one who dared to bid against Murong Qian since the auction began.
Aotian also noticed that everyone's gaze was on him. After a brief moment of surprise, he understood the situation. These people were afraid of Murong Qian's "intimidation" and hoped he could challenge Murong Qian's authority.
Understanding this, Aotian lived up to expectations and called out a price:
"Three Million Five Hundred Thousand!"
Aotian traveled a long way to the northern part of Fengyun Nation for this Triple Pill. Now that the elixir was within reach, he couldn't let it slip away.
Murong Qian's anger flared when he heard Aotian raise the price again, and his face instantly turned a shade of dark red.
If it weren't for the Purple Gold Chamber's strict rule against fighting in the marketplace, Murong Qian would have likely attacked Pride of the World by now.
"Four million!"
Murong Qian gritted his teeth as he shouted.
"Four and a half million!"
Aotian's voice remained calm and steady, showing no signs of fluctuation.
"Five million!"
Murong Qian's handsome face twisted in anger, appearing quite ferocious.
At this moment, it was clear to everyone that Murong Qian was like a volcano that had been suppressed for too long, ready to erupt at any moment. The longer he held back, the more powerful the explosion would likely be.
"Five and a half million!"
To Aotian, the Mysterious Origin Stone seemed like an insignificant number; he stated the price with an unchanging tone.
Murong Qian took two deep breaths to suppress his rising fury. Then he sat back in his chair, ignoring everything around him, clearly deciding not to continue bidding. However, the coldness in his eyes became increasingly alarming.
"Damn bastard, I originally planned to auction off the Triple Pill for Aoling to use, to pull her and her master to my side. But you dared to ruin my plans; since that's the case, your life is now reserved for me." Murong Qian's heart was filled with murderous intent.
Although Murong Qian wanted to continue bidding, he reluctantly had to hold back in order to ensure that the final item would fall into his hands.
Seeing that Murong Qian had stopped bidding, Aotian finally let out a heavy sigh of relief. Despite appearing so relaxed while calling out bids, Aotian's heart was also bleeding.
Five million five hundred thousand Mysterious Origin Stones was no small amount, and he certainly didn't have that many Mysterious Origin Stones on him. It seemed he would have to exchange martial arts for it later...
In the end, the Triple Pill was sold for the high price of five million five hundred thousand and ended up in Aotian's possession.
"Next, we will proceed with the auction of the final item of this auction..."
