Chapter 267: Chapter 267: Who Will Compete?

While Qin Chuan was idly chatting with Murong Mingyue, another two auction items were successfully sold at an enormous price surpassing two hundred million.

And the closing price of each auction item was higher than that of the previous one.

"Following this trend, the final price of the marquee auction item might even reach sixty hundred million!"

Murong Mingyue said with an unmistakable sense of wonder.

As she spoke, she stole a glance at Qin Chuan only to see his expression remain calm, devoid of any joy at the prospect of obtaining sixty hundred million.

"For ordinary people, sixty hundred million for a life is too expensive, but for those standing at the pinnacle of Shen Zhou’s major clans, not to mention sixty hundred million, even a hundred hundred million would be well worth it if it could save the life of a key family member," she added.

Murong Mingyue further explained.

At first, she was quite worried about Qin Chuan, but after seeing his composure, her worries had long since vanished.

She had a feeling that as long as it was something Qin Chuan promised, he would definitely achieve it.

Qin Chuan revealed a faint smile as light as a cloud on a breeze.

In the eyes of ordinary people, sixty hundred million might seem like a lot, but for a top-notch power, whether it’s sixty dollars or sixty hundred million, it’s just a string of numbers.

If he wished, he could easily become the world’s richest person.

But that was meaningless to him.

As time ticked by, the auction proceeded smoothly, and a series of rare items were sold one after another.

One auction item fetched a higher price than the last, and the ancient jade currently up for bidding had already reached thirty hundred million, an astounding figure.

"Thirty-two hundred million, once!"

"Thirty-two hundred million, twice!"

"Thirty-two hundred million, three times!"

"Sold!"

"Bang!"

With the gavel coming down hard, the ancient jade was successfully sold for an astonishing thirty-two hundred million.

At this moment, the cylindrical platform in front of the auction seats began to rise slowly again, revealing a palm-sized piece of ancient wood in a glass display case.

When Qin Chuan saw this piece of wood, his pupils contracted sharply, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Murong Mingyue began, "Qin Chuan, this is the Ksitigarbha Sacred Tree. Is there a problem?"

Noticing the change in Qin Chuan’s emotions, she casually asked a question.

Qin Chuan replied in a deep voice, "This is not an ordinary Ksitigarbha Sacred Tree, but the Ksitigarbha Heaven God Sacred Tree!"

"The Ksitigarbha Heaven God Sacred Tree?"

Murong Mingyue asked with a puzzled face, "What’s the difference with an extra ’Heaven’ in the name?"

Qin Chuan stared intently at the Ksitigarbha Heaven God Sacred Tree inside the glass display, saying excitedly, "The difference of a single word means a world of difference in its effects!"

Just those words were enough to make Murong Mingyue’s breath quicken.

If the ordinary Ksitigarbha Sacred Tree already drove countless top-notch martialists mad, then the even more effective Ksitigarbha Heaven God Sacred Tree would surely make those top-notch martialists lose their minds, wouldn’t it?

"Mingyue, as long as you help me obtain this piece of Ksitigarbha Heaven God Sacred Tree, I will give you ten Evergreen Pills, ten Marrow-Cleansing Pills, and ten Dragon Tiger Pills!"

"Additionally, consider me in your debt for a favor!"

Qin Chuan suddenly turned to Murong Mingyue with an excited expression.

Murong Mingyue was stunned; whether it be the Evergreen Pill, Marrow-Cleansing Pill, or the Dragon Tiger Pill, any one of them could drive countless martialists wild.

Now, Qin Chuan was willing to part with so many top-tier elixirs just to obtain the Ksitigarbha Heaven God Sacred Tree.

But that wasn’t even the main point; the main point was that Qin Chuan was also willing to owe her a favor.

For the Murong Family, money was just a number, but a favor from an exceptional genius skilled in both medicine and the martial path was truly priceless.

After being dazed for a moment, Murong Mingyue hurriedly assured, "Don’t worry, I will definitely help you secure the Ksitigarbha Heaven God Sacred Tree!"

Just as Murong Mingyue’s words fell, the platform raising the Ksitigarbha Heaven God Sacred Tree had already completely risen from the ground.

"The next item up for auction is an extremely rare heavenly material and earthly treasure, known as the Ksitigarbha Sacred Tree! The benefits it will bring to a martialist need no further explanation from me."

The beautiful auctioneer did not provide much introduction and immediately said, "The bidding for the Ksitigarbha Sacred Tree starts at two billion! The auction begins!"

Clearly, both Premium Auction House and the owner of the Ksitigarbha Sacred Tree were unaware that this was the invaluable Ksitigarbha Heaven God Sacred Tree.

"Forty billion!"

Right as the beautiful auctioneer announced the start of the bidding, someone immediately raised the bid by twenty billion.

"Forty-one billion!"

"Forty-five billion!"

...

"Fifty-five billion!"

People from the major powers were bidding frantically, each raising the bid by several billion each time.

Within just two minutes, the starting bid of two billion for the Ksitigarbha Heaven God Sacred Tree had been raised to fifty-five billion.

Even if it were to be sold for fifty-five billion, this price would have already broken the historical record for the highest price at Premium Auction House.

However, the bidding didn’t stop there; the people from the Nine Gates of Yandu continued to bid.

"Sixty billion!"

A robust voice emanated from a VIP room not too far away, "I, Jiang Chenlong, want this Ksitigarbha Sacred Tree, so please afford me this courtesy."

As his voice fell, the window of the Jiang Family’s VIP room on the second floor opened, and a middle-aged face appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Obviously, he was Jiang Chenlong who had just bid sixty billion.

Jiang Chenlong cupped his hands towards the VIP rooms of the various Nine Gates gatherings around him.

Qin Chuan felt a very robust aura emanating from him, an aura that had reached the Energizing Skill Peak level.

This was somewhat unexpected to Qin Chuan; since he had regained part of his memories and strength, it was his first time seeing a martialist of over forty years of age who had reached the peak of the Energizing Skill.

Clearly, Jiang Chenlong had a well-known reputation among the Nine Gates of Yandu, and once he bid sixty billion, several other bidders gave up.

"Since Brother Jiang desires the Ksitigarbha Sacred Tree, the Mu Family will step down!"

"With Brother Jiang’s martial talent, if he can acquire this Ksitigarbha Sacred Tree, his cultivation should be able to advance even further. The Liu Family will also give up!"

"A treasure like the Ksitigarbha Sacred Tree is only worthy of someone like Brother Jiang to possess. The Lin Family gives up!"

...

"The Lu Family gives up!"

Following the Lu Family’s withdrawal, only the Murong Family among the Nine Gates of Yandu had not made a statement yet.

However, the Murong Family didn’t need to express any stance, after all, Premium Auction House was owned by the Murong Family; if they wanted the Ksitigarbha Sacred Tree, they would not have allowed it to appear in the auction in the first place.

The corners of Jiang Chenlong’s mouth lifted slightly, and he cupped his hands all around once again, saying with a smile, "In that case, I would like to thank you all!"

"Haha, Brother Jiang, you’re too kind!"

"Brother Jiang, there’s no need to be polite!"

...

The people of the Nine Gates of Yandu politely spoke up one after another.

Murong Mingyue’s expression immediately soured, and she turned to Qin Chuan and said, "Jiang Chenlong is the heir-apparent of the Jiang Family and also the most talented martial artist of this generation among Yandu’s Nine Gates."

"He is extremely domineering in his actions. Since he has claimed the Ksitigarbha Sacred Tree, no one dares to compete with him."

Qin Chuan’s lips curled into a sarcastic smile; it was indeed the case that when the cat’s away, the mice will play.

At the age of ten, he had already been able to beat Energizing Skill Peak Realm Martialists with his fists and feet.

Jiang Chenlong looked towards the beautiful auctioneer and said with a smile, "Beautiful lady, may I assume you can announce the result now?"

Only then did the beautiful auctioneer come back to her senses, raising the auction hammer in her hand to strike it down.

"One hundred billion!"

Just at that moment, a loud and resounding voice shocked the entire audience!
