Chapter 760: Chapter 760: Lan Mingwei

"Whoosh—"

As Mei Xian’er finished speaking, a low murmur of surprise could not help but ripple through the crowd once more.

Although everyone knew that a Heavenly Destiny Flower did not guarantee an Eighth Grade Tribulation Relief Pill, without a Heavenly Destiny Flower, the Tribulation Relief Pill would be impossible to come by.

Therefore, despite being aware of Mei Xian’er’s intentions just now, they couldn’t help but get excited by her lead.

Seeing that she had successfully fired up everyone’s emotions, Mei Xian’er finally continued with a smile:

"Ladies and gentlemen, we will now begin the auction of the Heavenly Destiny Flower. The starting bid is five hundred High Grade Spirit Veins, with each subsequent bid increase being no less than fifty High Grade Spirit Veins."

"Six hundred High Grade Spirit Veins!"

"Eight hundred High Grade Spirit Veins!"

"One thousand High Grade Spirit Veins!"

...

No sooner had Mei Xian’er’s voice faded, a series of bids echoed continuously throughout the venue.

In just a few breaths’ time, the price of the Heavenly Destiny Flower had shot up to one thousand High Grade Spirit Veins.

And still, the price of the Heavenly Destiny Flower continued to climb at a ferociously rapid pace.

After all, no one present was a fool; everyone knew that whoever secured this Heavenly Destiny Flower might, in the future, possess an Eighth Grade Tribulation Relief Pill.

And with an Eighth Grade Tribulation Relief Pill, the so-called wounds from the End of Dharma Heavenly Tribulation would no longer need to be a concern.

This was undoubtedly beneficial, both for oneself and for one’s entire Sect.

So, after a continuous flurry of bidding, the price of the Heavenly Destiny Flower directly reached the sum of three thousand High Grade Spirit Veins.

Keep in mind that three thousand High Grade Spirit Veins could already buy a fairly ordinary Mid Grade Dao Artifact.

But looking around at the crowd, it seemed there was no intention to stop competing for the Heavenly Destiny Flower, as many people were still actively bidding.

"Five thousand High Grade Spirit Veins! Ladies and gentlemen, we, Qinghai Immortal Island, will take this Heavenly Destiny Flower. I hope you can give me, Lan Mingwei, this face."

Just then, from a private box marked with the number "seven" in the southeast corner of the auction hall, the slightly arrogant voice of a young man suddenly rang out.

Many people, upon hearing this voice, were initially unable to fully grasp who it was that dared speak with such boldness at a Wantong Commerce auction.

However, as soon as they heard the man introduce himself as Lan Mingwei, some of their expressions immediately changed.

For that Lan Mingwei was none other than the son of the current Island Master of Qinghai Immortal Island, and the younger brother of Lan Hai Fairy, who was rumored to be wedded to the Third Prince of the Dragon God Heavenly Palace.

Merely by virtue of his identity as the son of Qinghai Immortal Island’s Island Master, Lan Mingwei had already given many people a reason to be wary.

Now that his sister, Lan Hai Fairy, had also become the daughter-in-law of the Dragon God Heavenly Palace, the combination of the two connections made him even less of an individual to offend lightly.

For a moment, the entire auction hall fell into a brief silence.

Even the smile on Mei Xian’er’s face became somewhat stiff at this instant.

Although Wantong Commerce’s strength meant they did not genuinely fear either Qinghai Immortal Island or the Dragon God Heavenly Palace.

But Wantong Commerce would never initiate enmity with two elite powers over just a single Heavenly Destiny Flower.

As the bidding in the hall suddenly halted, Mei Xian’er slowly regained her composure after a brief irritation.

She then forced a smile and continued to address the crowd below,

"Five thousand High Grade Spirit Veins, Mister Lan Mingwei of Qinghai Immortal Island has bid five thousand High Grade Spirit Veins. Is there anyone willing to offer a higher bid?"

As she spoke, Mei Xian’er deliberately paused for a moment, but seeing that there was still no one else bidding, she sighed softly to herself and continued,

"If that’s the case, then five thousand High Grade Spirit Veins once, five thousand High Grade Spirit Veins twice..."

Inside Booth No. 7, Lan Mingwei, while embracing a beautiful female cultivator’s slender waist, looked proudly towards a middle-aged man beside him.

"Alchemist Zhao, see? Didn’t I tell you? As long as I reveal my identity, whether it’s the other bidders or Wantong Commerce, no one will fail to give me, Lan Mingwei, the respect due to me.

A mere Heavenly Destiny Flower -- isn’t it just something I can take with a mere wave of my hand if I, Lan Mingwei, want it?"

Hearing Lan Mingwei’s self-satisfied remarks, the middle-aged man referred to as Alchemist Zhao immediately showed a flattering smile and hastily nodded in agreement,

"Absolutely, Mr. Lan, you’re absolutely right. Who do they think they are compared to you? How could they possibly compete with you? But that Heavenly Destiny Flower..."

At this, Alchemist Zhao purposely put on a look of eager anticipation.

Seeing this, Lan Mingwei burst into laughter and with a wave of his hand said, "No problem, I’ll secure that Heavenly Destiny Flower to give to you.

But don’t forget, Alchemist Zhao, when the time comes, if you can produce the Eighth Grade Tribulation Relief Pill, you must give me a fifty-percent share. This is also what my father wishes..."

Before Lan Mingwei could finish speaking, Alchemist Zhao promptly nodded and assured, "Please rest assured, Mr. Lan. Although I, Zhao Gonghua, am only an Eighth Grade Alchemist, I’m fairly confident in crafting the Eighth Grade Tribulation Relief Pill. Just wait for my good news, Mr. Lan."

"Mm, nothing could be better."

Lan Mingwei nodded, and just as he was about to say more to Zhao Gonghua, Mei Xian’er was about to bring down the auction hammer when a very calm voice suddenly rang out at that moment.

"Six thousand High Grade Spirit Veins!"

"Whoosh—"

As this voice sounded, it was like a boulder thrown into a serene lake, instantly stirring up a wave of commotion.

The faces of most of the people showed a trace of surprise at this moment.

They had not expected someone to vie for the Heavenly Destiny Flower after Lan Mingwei had announced his claim and expressed his intent to take it.

Lan Mingwei’s face was filled with astonishment; he seemed somewhat unable to believe his own ears, wondering if he had heard wrong?

But seeing Zhao Gonghua’s equally shocked expression, Lan Mingwei immediately realized he had not misheard but that indeed someone was contesting him in the bidding.

After snapping back to reality, Lan Mingwei immediately felt he had lost face in front of Zhao Gonghua, and his previous series of actions seemed like those of a clown boasting empty words.

This caused his expression to turn fierce in an instant, and he said through clenched teeth, "Damn it! Who is it? Who dares to have such audacity, to compete with me, Lan Mingwei, for an item!"

However, Mei Xian’er on the auction stage was feeling the exact opposite of Lan Mingwei; she was positively elated.

Having thought that after Lan Mingwei made such a declaration, there would be no more bids, to her surprise, there was a sudden turn of events just as she was about to finalize the auction.

She now looked at the crowd below with a beaming smile, and couldn’t help repeating,

"Six thousand High Grade Spirit Veins now. Does anyone wish to bid higher? If not, then six thousand High Grade Spirit Veins once, six thousand High Grade Spirit Veins twice..."
