Chapter 769: Chapter 779: Spiritual Land Map!

Guan Shenghai had not expected to encounter the person who severed his finger here; indeed, it’s true that enemies often cross paths.

He immediately turned to Chen Long at his side, "Brother Dragon, that man is over there!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Long’s pupils lit up on the spot, "Are you talking about the person who bullied you?"

"Yes, it’s him!" Guan Shenghai said through clenched teeth, his teeth clacking from the force of his bite.

"Alright, I’ll go teach him a lesson right now!" Chen Long said. But before he took a step, he realized something was off and turned his head to look at Guan Shenghai, "Wait, the people who can appear here should all be tycoons or overloads of a place. Are you sure it was that person who hurt your finger?"

"I’m positive, it was him who hurt my finger. Brother Dragon, don’t worry, I know about his background. He’s just a small guild hall owner in Xuanjing City with assets worth only tens of millions!" Guan Shenghai said.

"Are you sure?" Chen Long was still somewhat incredulous.

"A hundred percent certain, there’s no mistake. I saw it with my own eyes, and if he is here now, he must have tagged along with someone else to get in!" Guan Shenghai said.

"Fine, rest assured, I will handle this for you. He severed one of your fingers; I’ll teach him a very big lesson!" Chen Long said.

"Thank you, Brother Dragon!" Guan Shenghai said hurriedly, then looked at Tang Zhong, his eyes filled with venomous spite.

Just as Chen Long was about to move, a woman appeared on the central platform. Dressed in Kunlun attire, she seemed extraordinarily ethereal. Upon her arrival, the whole venue erupted in shouts.

Indeed, the woman was stunning, also a disciple of Kunlun.

The woman smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats, the auction is about to begin!"

Then everyone present ceased their casual movements.

Upon seeing this, Chen Long stopped in his tracks, "Brother, let’s wait until the auction is over before I help you settle the score with that man, alright? After all, this is Kunlun; he won’t be able to escape!"

"Thanks, Brother Chen!" Guan Shenghai nodded.

Afterward, he glared at Tang Zhong with a meaning-laden look, signaling a warning for him to watch out.

At this time, people all around had settled into their seats.

A careful look at the surrounding people would reveal that they were all top-tier figures in their respective industries in Xuan Country.

Now, the woman continued, "Since everyone is seated, let us wait for the auction to start. However, I would like to mention the rules here. In the Kunlun Heavenly Marketplace auction, you may bid, but you must not create a disturbance. Of course, if two guests are interested in the same item, feel free to bid against each other. Here, it’s a matter of who has more money. But if anyone intends on engaging in destructive behavior, then, well, please don’t blame us Kunlun for being impolite!"

In Kunlun, anyone who causes destruction is an enemy of all Kunlun people.

The people around certainly didn’t dare to provoke Kunlun.

"Alright, with the rules out of the way, I now declare the auction started!" the woman said.

With a wave of her jade hand.

"Bring up the auction item!"

A Kunlun female disciple then walked out from backstage, bearing a tray covered with a red cloth, which she handed over to the woman before leaving.

The auctioneer received the tray and removed the red cloth from it.

Suddenly, a corroded sword appeared on it.

All eyes turned to the object as the anticipation was at its peak, but when they saw a corroded sword beneath the red cloth, everyone was stunned.

"This is what’s up for auction? It doesn’t seem any better than the stuff sold at the stalls before!"

"Yeah, what can you even do with such a worthless sword?"

"It seems this auction is all bark and no bite!"

Many were thinking of leaving, having come for their first auction hoping to see the world, only to encounter this.

But Tang Zhong, looking at the sword, not only had his pupils dilate— that corroded sword was by no means ordinary. Despite its corrosion, it was nearly as sharp as a Tang Sword, truly terrifying. Indeed, the auction lived up to its reputation.

Those who understood could perceive the sword’s fierceness, and those who didn’t simply treated it as a spectacle.

The woman holding the rusty sword said, "This sword has been passed down from the Zhou Dynasty. It’s extremely old, but its sharpness has surpassed many swords. The starting bid is one hundred million!"

As her words fell,

people began shouting their bids.

"One hundred and ten million!"

"I’ll add twenty million more!"

They vied with each other anxiously.

Tang Zhong didn’t need a sword, or else he might have considered making a bid.

At this moment, two men in black suits narrowed their eyes, as if brewing something.

Meanwhile, Guan Shenghai was shocked, a broken sword with a starting bid of one hundred million— that was insane. These people were crazy, and he didn’t forget to glance back at Tang Zhong, noticing that Tang had no intention of bidding, prompting a sneer from Guan.

Soon, the sword was auctioned off to a man for a whopping three hundred million. The buyer, an international tycoon and someone who understood a bit of martial arts, was also obsessed with martial arts. Unfortunately, he had no aptitude for it, so he wanted to buy some antique weaponry to see if it could inspire his own path in martial arts.

Shortly after, the second treasure was put up for auction.

It was an elixir.

A genuine elixir, whose fragrance diffused around as the red cloth was unveiled.

Elixirs were all the rage during Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s time, who sought immortality and enlisted the help of alchemists. As time progressed, so did elixirs. In Xuan Country, there are many families of alchemists who produce elixirs. The one up for auction today does not confer longevity, but it can heal injuries and diseases, and treat the physical body!

After the effects were announced, the entire venue erupted into a bidding frenzy, with the majority being wealthy buyers, all hoping to live a little longer for they feared death the most.

In the end, it sold for two hundred million!

Guan Shenghai originally wanted to purchase the elixir to heal his finger, but the price left him petrified. This place was truly mad; buying something here was indeed extremely difficult!

Subsequent auctions presented many items, and every item was guaranteed a buyer, all selling for high prices.

Guan Shenghai kept his eyes on Tang Zhong. He noticed that no matter how intense the auction got, Tang didn’t move an inch, leading Guan to conclude that Tang was just like him, present to see the sights, and such a person was not worth worrying about. After the auction, he planned to take Chen Long and fleece Tang.

But what he couldn’t imagine was that Tang Zhong was simply biding his time due to the lack of appealing items. If that were the case, there was no need to waste any more time.

Just as Tang was contemplating, a voice suddenly reached his ears, "We are now auctioning a map. The consignor says it’s a treasure map, but we found it could very well be a Spiritual Land!"
