Invincible Over the World
Chapter 144 - 144 144 Auctioning Earth Core Lotion

144: Chapter 144: Auctioning Earth Core Lotion 144: Chapter 144: Auctioning Earth Core Lotion Huang Xiaolong’s eyes also brightened when he heard that the Earth Core Lotion was next to be auctioned.

They were finally going to auction the Earth Core Lotion!

Looking down, Huang Xiaolong saw a Steward bringing a jade bottle onto the auction stage with a solemn face, which the auctioneer received with equal seriousness.

The jade bottle was green as emerald, vibrant with life.

The auctioneer placed the jade bottle on the stage, surveyed the crowd below, and said, “Everyone should already be aware of the miraculous effects of the Earth Core Lotion, so I won’t go into detail.

This jade bottle is crafted from top-grade Jade Heart, and it is filled with Earth Core Lotion.

With the Earth Core Lotion inside it, no matter how long it’s stored, not a bit of its medicinal power will be lost.

This bottle contains a total of six drops!”

Six drops!

The crowd was once again abuzz.

Huang Xiaolong was also shocked.

Initially, he thought that the auction would at most have two drops of Earth Core Lotion, since Heaven and Earth Strange Objects like this were rarely seen even in such small amounts.

It could take ten thousand or even tens of thousands of years for a single drop of Earth Core Lotion to form.

“The starting bid for this jade bottle of Earth Core Lotion is three million!” Subsequently, the auctioneer announced a figure that shocked all the factions present.

Three million!

If it were up to the Huang Family Manor of Huang Xiaolong’s past, even selling the entire manor would not amass three million!

Some of the smaller forces that had original intentions to bid for the Earth Core Lotion felt as if they had been drenched in a cold ice shower, their whole bodies chilling from head to toe, and they abandoned the thought of bidding.

“Three million one hundred thousand!” However, shortly after the auctioneer’s voice fell, a voice rang out from a VIP Room.

Huang Xiaolong looked over; it was VIP Room No.9, and the voice sounded vaguely familiar.

“It’s Yang Zheng’s voice!” Fei Hou said.

Yang Zheng’s voice!

Huang Xiaolong realized why it sounded familiar; he hadn’t been able to identify it as Yang Zheng at first, but Fei Hou had.

Yang Zheng, so did that mean Yang An, Yang Dong, and the other members of the Yang Family were in VIP Room No.9?

“Three million five hundred thousand!” It was then that VIP Room No.11 called out.

Huang Xiaolong abruptly looked towards VIP Room No.11, King Ning!

The voice was none other than that of King Ning, the Clan Leader of the Ningwu Family.

Following that, the voice from VIP Room No.12 rose, “Three million six hundred thousand!”

It was the voice of Yu Chen from the Great Sword Sect!

Huang Xiaolong sneered.

Earlier, King Ning, Yu Chen, Yang Zheng, and the others had remained silent, but now that the Earth Core Lotion was being auctioned, they had all revealed themselves at last!

However, King Ning and others surely knew that Huang Xiaolong was in VIP Room No.5 from when he bid for the Nanli Sword previously.

“Five million!” As Yu Chen’s voice from the Great Sword Sect fell, Huang Xiaolong boldly stretched out his fingers, declaring his bid.

Five million!

His voice reverberated, echoing long in the air above the auction hall, buzzing in everyone’s ears.

“Five million!”

“Who is in VIP Room No.5?”

“It seems to be Huang Xiaolong!”

Everyone was greatly surprised, stirring up a commotion.

Inside VIP Room No.11, King Ning sat on the sofa, smirking coldly, “Huang Xiaogou really is full of wealth, casually calling out five million.” As he spoke, he declared, “Six million!” After saying that, he looked provocatively towards Huang Xiaolong in VIP Room No.5.

“Six million one hundred thousand!”

The speaker was neither Huang Xiaolong nor Yang Zheng or Yu Chen, but from VIP Room No.2.

King Ning was taken aback.

“Six million three hundred and thirty thousand!” shouted VIP Room No.1.

“Six million four hundred thousand!”

“Six million seven hundred thousand!”

Following that, the bidding voices rose one after another, and soon, the price was raised to seven million.

Some of the smaller forces below, hearing the continuous bidding voices from the VIP rooms, were trembling with fear.

Six million, seven million—these were amounts beyond their imagination.

“Seven million one hundred thousand!” Yu Chen from the Great Sword Sect called out again.

“Ten million!” Suddenly, Huang Xiaolong’s voice, like a thunderclap, shook every corner of the auction house.

Ten million!

Some of the smaller forces’ family patriarchs were so frightened they almost fell from their seats, all wearing expressions of shock, including Yu Chen, King Ning, Yang Zheng, and others.

The auctioneer on the auction stage was also stunned, unable to react for a moment.

Ten million, a staggering number.

Ten million Gold Coins, if piled up, would without exaggeration form a huge Golden Mountain.

The auction house remained noisy for a long time.

After a while, the crowd was still in shock.

“VIP Room No.5 bids ten million, does anyone else wish to bid?!” the auctioneer’s voice rang out, calming the crowd somewhat.

But just when everyone thought no one would offer a higher price, suddenly a voice sounded, “Eleven million!”

Everyone was stunned.

Eleven million!

Was there still someone bidding?!

Everyone turned to look at the source of the voice, VIP Room No.11—King Ning of the Ningwu Family!

Huang Xiaolong sneered at the corner of his mouth as he heard King Ning speak.

It seemed the Blue Cloud Pavilion was also present.

Only a Chamber of Commerce like the Blue Cloud Pavilion would be willing to spend over ten million in a bid!

Although the Ningwu Family was also a super family in the Violent Dragon Kingdom, King Ning wouldn’t possibly be willing to spend over ten million to compete with him.

“Twenty million!” Just as everyone was shocked by King Ning’s eleven million, suddenly, Huang Xiaolong spoke again,

Twenty million, like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, left everyone’s ears ringing and minds buzzing, as the number echoed over and over again in their heads—twenty million!

The auctioneer stood there with the gavel, frozen.

Yu Chen from the Great Sword Sect stood there, stunned.

Yang Zheng, Yang Dong, and Yang An all stood there, dumbfounded.

In VIP Room No.11, a gaunt old man sitting beside King Ning, with a flare of cold light in his eyes, spoke coldly, “Twenty million for the Earth Core Lotion, that Huang kid really has guts.

No wonder even you’re afraid of him!”

King Ning’s face was somewhat embarrassed, but he did not retort.

He looked at the gaunt old man dressed in Blue Cloud Pavilion attire with a hint of fear in his eyes.

“That kid must be crazy!

Spending twenty million to bid for Earth Core Lotion!” In VIP Room No.9, Yang Zheng sneered coldly.

The Earth Core Lotion, though a Heaven and Earth Strange Object, was only greatly beneficial to those below Innate experts.

To Innate experts, its usefulness was small, so everyone, including Yang Zheng, felt that it wasn’t worth spending twenty million.

The auction house was abuzz with shock and discussion among the various powers.

In the end, amidst the shock and discussion of the crowd, Huang Xiaolong won the Earth Core Lotion for twenty million.

After Huang Xiaolong paid the twenty million Gold Coins, the Steward of the auction personally delivered the Earth Core Lotion to Huang Xiaolong’s VIP room.

Holding the Jade Heart Green Bottle in hand, Huang Xiaolong felt a surge of joy—with the Earth Core Lotion finally won.

In the eyes of others, spending twenty million for the Earth Core Lotion might not be worth it, but now, what Huang Xiaolong’s Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce was least short of was money.

In Huang Xiaolong’s eyes, the twenty million was well-spent.

With this Earth Core Lotion, he was absolutely confident he could break through to the Late Stage Peak of the Tenth Order by the end-of-year grade competition.

After the auction of the Earth Core Lotion, the auction continued with the bidding for an Earth-grade advanced cultivation method.

Although the Earth-grade advanced cultivation method was also rare, the final price it fetched paled in comparison to that of the Earth Core Lotion.
