Chapter 851: Chapter 851: Offense

The person who made the bid this time was none other than the strongest among the young generation of Bodhi Hall, Qu Yuanliang.

"One million and nine hundred thousand!"

"Two million!"

However, following Qu Yuanliang’s offer, other talented youths continued to raise the bid, pushing the price to two million in the blink of an eye, twice the final transaction price of the Spirit-transforming Needle.

At this moment, the other Martial Artists around were stunned and shocked. The spirited bidding war unfolding before their eyes was undoubtedly a contest between the wealthy.

Two million Top Grade Spirit Stones was a fortune some Martial Artists on the first floor would struggle to amass in their lifetime, yet these talented youths were easily throwing such an enormous wealth into the bidding.

"Two million and five hundred thousand!"

Ma Hui, somewhat unwilling to give up, raised the price again.

However, two million and five hundred thousand Top Grade Spirit Stones were already the limit for him. Despite having a profound background, he felt powerless facing such an expensive magic treasure.

It was known that this Silver Scale Mystical Armor was just a Heavenly Level High Grade magical treasure, and it might not usually sell for such a high price.

Faced with Ma Hui’s new offer, Qu Yuanliang did not hesitate to step up again.

"Three million!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, may I ask for your favor to let me have this Mystic Robe."

Qu Yuanliang’s gaze swept over the crowd in the many private rooms, then he calmly spoke.

After hesitating for a moment, Ma Hui finally sat back down in his seat, no longer raising the bid. Other powers’ talented youths also refrained from bidding.

After all, Qu Yuanliang had already spoken, and three million was an astronomical price for a Heavenly Level High Grade Vestment robe.

The crowd lacked the financial power to continue bidding, and even if they went all out, they might not win the robe, and could even possibly offend Qu Yuanliang of Bodhi Hall, which was an extremely unwise move.

After all, once the auction was over, they all were to enter the Divine Fire Secret Realm.

When the time came, they might encounter all sorts of dangers, and if they offended Qu Yuanliang now, they would likely have to be wary of Bodhi Hall’s disciples twenty days later when entering the Divine Fire Secret Realm.

Seeing that no one else was bidding, Qu Yuanliang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he could finally secure the robe without issue.

"Three million and five hundred thousand!"

However, just when Qu Yuanliang thought he had the situation under control, a new bid suddenly came from another private room, directly raising the price to three million and five hundred thousand!

This move made all the Martial Artists present inhale sharply. Even the shapely auction maid on the stage couldn’t help but reveal a look of surprise.

Everyone turned their heads to see that the bidder was merely a youth at the Fifth Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm.

"Young master, was that bid just now made by you?"

"Are you sure you want to bid three million and five hundred thousand Top Grade Spirit Stones for this Mystic Robe?"

The curvaceous woman fixed her gaze on Lin Chen, inquiring. She secretly pondered, hoping that Lin Chen hadn’t made a mistake, thinking that the auction was for High Grade Spirit Stones.

"What? Are you questioning my financial power?"

Lin Chen’s gaze flickered slightly, as he replied somewhat displeased.

"Not at all, it was my mistake to speak out of turn."

Upon hearing Lin Chen’s confident response, the shapely woman promptly apologized.

She realized the grave mistake she had made, judging by appearances and thinking that Lin Chen, just because he was young, couldn’t have such substantial wealth.

If Lin Chen really was a wealthy heir, offending him could be a big trouble.

"Kid, do you know who I am?"

"How dare you compete with me for this robe, are you sure you’ve thought this through?"

Qu Yuanliang’s gaze was now icy cold as he recognized Lin Chen as a member of the Formation Sect.

As a disciple of Bodhi Hall, Qu Yuanliang didn’t have much regard for Formation Sect.

He glared at Lin Chen, his eyes not hiding the murderous intent.

However, Lin Chen appeared unconcerned with Qu Yuanliang’s threatening gaze.

This was Bright Moon Commerce Guild, and no matter how dissatisfied Qu Yuanliang was, he wouldn’t dare take action against Lin Chen here.

"What? Does Bright Moon Commerce Guild have such a rule? If someone takes a liking to a magic treasure, no one else is allowed to bid?"

Lin Chen spoke calmly, turning his gaze to the auction maid below.

Upon hearing this, the auction maid Xiaoyu frowned and turned her gaze towards Qu Yuanliang.

"Young Master Qu, this is the Bright Moon Commerce Guild, please abide by our rules here."

Xiaoyu looked at Qu Yuanliang, her tone firm.

Despite Qu Yuanliang’s powerful background, it wasn’t much compared to the Bright Moon Commerce Guild.

He dared to openly threaten Lin Chen at the Bright Moon Commerce Guild; if it weren’t for the guild’s preference to focus on business and avoid complications, Qu Yuanliang might have already been punished.

Hearing Xiaoyu’s words, Qu Yuanliang immediately cupped his fists and nodded in agreement.

Faced with Bright Moon Commerce Guild, he could only swallow his anger.

After all, Bright Moon Commerce Guild held a pivotal position in the Central Region, and with the Mysterious Heaven Continent divided into Nine Domains, Bright Moon Commerce Guild had a solid footing in every domain.

Qu Yuanliang naturally did not dare to quarrel too much with the guild.

He coldly stared at Lin Chen, storing this grudge in his heart, planning to seek revenge on Lin Chen after entering the Divine Flame Secret Realm.

"This kid dares to offend Qu Yuanliang; he’s done for now."

"Yes, among the young generation of the entire Divine Flame Alliance, only Ji Wuye from the Spirit Sword Sect is slightly better than Qu Yuanliang."

"That’s right, unless this kid doesn’t enter the Divine Flame Secret Realm, he will definitely suffer Qu Yuanliang’s retribution within the Secret Realm and is unlikely to come out alive."

The surrounding people watched Lin Chen, shaking their heads privately, as if they had already foreseen his fate.

"Heh, such a foolish fellow. It seems I don’t need to make a move myself; someone will deal with you in the Secret Realm."

Gong Siyuan sneered coldly, his gaze landing on Lin Chen, contemplating inwardly.

He had originally planned to strike at Lin Chen in the Secret Realm but had been cautious of Qin Batian. Now it seemed he perhaps wouldn’t need to take action himself.
