After that person displayed their true value, everyone fell silent.
The Auctioneer then said, "This is the territory of the Chongxiao faction. Absolutely no one is allowed to use their sect's influence to pressure others regarding the Auction. I am warning the three of you now; if you continue like this, I will disable your cultivation and throw you out!"
Although the words were quite forceful, Zhan Lingfeng noticed that the three individuals had stopped speaking.
"Alright, let's continue with the Auction. Someone just bid one million five hundred thousand; is there anyone else who wants to bid?"
"One million six hundred thousand," Li Fei bid.
"One million seven hundred thousand," Wei Tao also placed a bid.
"Two million," Zhu Fei raised the price again.
At this moment, Zhan Lingfeng realized that no one else was bidding. Perhaps they were intimidated by his threat, leaving only the three of them to compete.
The price continued to rise, and when it reached three million two hundred thousand, Zhu Fei loudly declared, "If you bid again, I won't want it anymore."
Zhan Lingfeng was unsure about the situation of these sect disciples in terms of medicinal knowledge; he could only watch their bidding.
As soon as Zhu Fei made this statement, the other two fell silent. Clearly, they also felt that this price was about right.
Only then did Zhu Fei smile and look at the Auctioneer, saying, "No one is going to bid higher than me for this He Shou Wu, right?"
The Auctioneer's expression darkened. She knew that if these people hadn't revealed their sects, the price might have gone even higher. However, she could only follow the procedure and said, "This gentleman has bid three million two hundred thousand. If there are no further bids, this He Shou Wu will belong to him."
"Three million two hundred thousand for the first time!"
"Three million two hundred thousand for the second time!"
As she was about to drop the hammer, suddenly, Zhan Lingfeng said, "Three million three hundred thousand."
With Zhan Lingfeng's bid, the entire venue fell silent, and everyone's gaze turned to him.
"You!"
Zhu Fei pointed at Zhan Lingfeng, his eyes blazing with fury.
Zhan Lingfeng did not look at him but instead focused on the stage.
The auctioneer was now excited, creating an atmosphere in an attempt to get Zhu Fei to raise his bid again.
However, Zhu Fei did not continue to bid.
After Zhan Lingfeng made the payment, He Shou Wu was once again in Zhan Lingfeng's hands.
At this moment, Zhan Lingfeng felt a surge of joy; once he acquired another herb over fifty years old, he would be able to use the power of the medicinal liquid to enter the Mingjing Layer in one go.
After several items that Zhan Lingfeng found uninteresting were auctioned off, the auctioneer announced, "Now we have the second herb of over fifty years for tonight. The herb is a Tianshan Snow Lotus Seed. Everyone is welcome to come and take a look."
After everyone had inspected it, the auctioneer said, "Alright, after appraisal, this Tianshan Snow Lotus Seed has at least fifty years of medicinal age. The starting price is five hundred thousand."
Indeed, aged herbs are quite special; those that are useful for cultivators are even more valuable.
Zhan Lingfeng also marveled at the rarity of such herbs.
"One million!"
The voice of Zhu Fei came again.
Zhan Lingfeng smiled bitterly, knowing that he couldn't offend Zhu Fei today. He had no idea what kind of strength that sect of his possessed.
However, for Zhan Lingfeng, the Mountain Snow Lotus Seed was something he had to obtain. With this item, he could reach a new level. Once he entered the Mingjing Layer, would he still fear those sects?
This time, he did not see those two people fighting him. Zhu Fei displayed a murderous aura, emanating a powerful force that intimidated some people.
Although he did not mention his sect again, after some people privately inquired about it, they fell silent.
The person from Dark Gathering Peak on the stage slightly furrowed his brows but felt somewhat helpless and didn't know what to say. He merely shifted his gaze to Zhan Lingfeng.
At this moment, Zhu Fei's gaze also turned to Zhan Lingfeng. He knew that the only one daring to bid was likely this person.
Sure enough, Zhan Lingfeng said, "One million one hundred thousand."
"You; one million three hundred thousand!"
"Two million!"
Zhan Lingfeng directly raised the bid to two million. Since he had already offended him, he wasn't afraid anymore.
After glaring at Zhan Lingfeng for a while, Zhu Fei stood up and walked out.
At this time, the Female Auctioneer encouraged the crowd again, but when she saw no one else bidding, she had no choice but to drop the hammer.
Having obtained two medicinal herbs and an additional short sword, Zhan Lingfeng was already satisfied with today's auction and got up to go pay.
Once Zhan Lingfeng entered the payment area, a middle-aged man smiled and said, "Thank you for your support today, sir. We understand that you do not have communication equipment yet, so here is the latest model of a mobile phone as a gift for you. We have also arranged an exclusive phone card for you, which will send you information about any auctions in the future."
Saying this, he continued with a smile, "This is our VIP card; whenever you come here in the future, there will be someone to pick you up."
Thinking about the possibility of purchasing medicinal materials in the future, Zhan Lingfeng said, "Please inform me about any medicinal materials over a hundred years old. Also, let me know if there are any special items for auction."
"Understood!"
After a moment's thought, Zhan Lingfeng took out several bottles and said, "I also have a few medicinal liquids here; please help me auction them."
The middle-aged man was somewhat surprised. Originally, he intended to repay Zhan Lingfeng for his assistance, but he didn't expect him to have medicinal liquids for auction as well. He quickly asked, "What special effects do your medicinal liquids have?"
"I have two types of medicinal liquids: one is called Muscle Recovery Solution and the other is Healing Liquid. Both are made from precious medicinal materials, with the lowest age of the ingredients being fifty years. To give you an example, today at the Herb Market, I saved an elderly man who had been knocked down using these two medicinal liquids. With your influence, I believe you can find out more about his situation. Each type of liquid starts at one million; of course, you can set a higher price if you wish. The money from the auction will be deposited into my account after deducting expenses."
Zhan Lingfeng felt confident now; once he entered the Mingjing Layer, he would have more means at his disposal.
"Rest assured, sir. It will be a pleasant cooperation."
After signing a contract, Zhan Lingfeng left through another exit under guidance.
Zhan Lingfeng was curious about what kind of results this cooperation would yield; he increasingly needed such connections.
After Zhan Lingfeng left, the middle-aged man from Dark Gathering Peak arrived and said to his subordinates upon hearing about Zhan Lingfeng's request for auctioning the medicinal liquids, "Immediately investigate the condition of that injured person. I want detailed information!"
