Chapter 376: Chapter 376 Fairy Flower_1

The auction doors hadn’t even opened yet, but people were already waiting at the entrance.

Although everyone had a number for the auction and didn’t need to compete for seats, the auction was quite attractive to ancient martial arts practitioners. Hence, everyone got there early.

"Damn, there’s Cold Face."

Suddenly, a commotion erupted from the crowd as everyone’s gaze was drawn towards a middle-aged man who looked no more than fifty.

The man was casually dressed in black, with a slightly plump figure and a noticeable belly. However, his look was calm, giving an impression of being ordinary Sans any striking features.

"This is the number one among the loose cultivators?"

Zhang Xian’s gaze was also fixed on Cold Face. After scanning him with spiritual sense, Zhang Xian too felt a bit surprised. The top among loose cultivators indeed had a profound inner strength.

"Yes, that’s Cold Face."

Jun Wuhen nodded, saying, "But, don’t be deceived by his appearance. He might seem ordinary, but when it comes to fighting, he’s like a fierce beast."

Zhang Xian chuckled, drawing back his gaze, not paying special attention to Cold Face like the others.

As far as Zhang Xian was concerned, even if Cold Face was strong, he was still an ancient martial arts practitioner.

Now that he had obtained the pill furnace, once he refined the Ascension Pills and broke through the Tier Six Celestial Body Refinement Realm, his strength would exponentially increase.

By then, he would send Innate masters running at the sight of him unless he was dealing with abnormally powerful entities. He felt that Cold Face hadn’t reached that stage yet.

Perhaps, the Innate masters from some ancient sects would make him a bit apprehensive. After all, these sects had a long heritage with powerful techniques that these loose cultivators couldn’t compare to.

"Click..."

Suddenly, the auction doors opened.

Once this happened, those present stopped talking and started walking slowly towards the entrance.

As ancient martial artists, they were respected individuals everywhere they went. They wouldn’t rush and crowd like common folk, instead, they would enter in an orderly fashion.

Zhang Xian, laughing, lifted his foot and walked towards the entrance.

Jun Wuhen grabbed Zhang Xian, saying, "Brother Zhang, what are you doing?"

Zhang Xian replied, "Going inside."

Qiu Yun’s mouth twitched uncontrollably as he said, "Zhang Xian, look at Cold Face. He just went in directly. Why are you waiting in line? Aren’t you showing off your VIP card?"

"Damn, I forgot about that."

Stunned, Zhang Xian quickly turned around and walked towards the VIP entrance.

Upon reaching the entrance and spotting Jiao Long and the others, he stopped in his tracks and chuckling said, "Yo, Ni Qiu, are you guys lining up here?"

"Uh..."

Jiao Long’s mouth twitched as he responded, "Are you trying to say, you don’t have to wait in line?"

"Hehe, I really don’t need to wait in line," Zhang Xian laughed, and together with Qiu Yun and Jun Wuhen, walked towards the VIP entrance.

Seeing this, Jiao Long’s eyes widened.

What was that guy thinking? Why did he go to the VIP entrance? Did he think he was someone powerful like Cold Face? Or did he not know that it was a VIP entrance?

"Haha... Can that guy act any more arrogant?"

Xie Wuming laughed heartily, saying, "He dared to use the VIP entrance. Even I, a layman, know that getting a VIP card for this auction is not easy."

Jiao Long chuckled coldly, showing disdain for Zhang Xian’s actions. Was he looking for trouble?

However, the smile on Jiao Long’s face quickly stiffened as Zhang Xian did indeed enter.

"Bloody hell... What’s going on?" Wu Que’s eyes widened in shock.

He usually didn’t talk much, nor did he use vulgar language. But today, he was stunned. How did Zhang Xian get a VIP card? This was not logical!

They all knew that these VIP cards had a unique number and couldn’t be borrowed. Moreover, these cards couldn’t be obtained through connections, no matter how powerful your backing, the card would only go to the powerful.

"How is this possible?"

’How could he have a VIP card?’ Jiao Long asked in disbelief.

The others were also stunned when Zhang Xian entered through the VIP entrance. It was understandable for Cold Face to do so, but how did that youngster do it? How was someone his age able to get a VIP card?

"Uh..."

People outside were shocked, but the ones inside were equally surprised.

After Cold Face casually walked into the VIP entrance, he was taken aback to see a youngster also entering with a VIP card, making him freeze in his tracks.

Zhang Xian didn’t pay attention to Cold Face, and directly walked forward.

Jun Wuhen and Qiu Yun weren’t as arrogant as Zhang Xian. Upon entering, they nodded at Cold Face before proceeding.

"Ha ha..."

Cold Face suddenly laughed loudly, saying, "Kid, you’re interesting. It has made me curious how someone your age obtained a VIP card!"

Zhang Xian chuckled, "Nothing much to it, I am just lucky."

"Ha ha, sometimes..."

Cold Face walked up to Zhang Xian, saying, "Luck is also a kind of strength."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xian nodded. Last time, Jun Wuhen had mentioned that the reason why Cold Face was so powerful was because he had had a special chance.

Of course, even without this chance, he himself would not have been this powerful. Despite his master being very strong and could kill Cold Face as if chopping vegetables, he was not that powerful.

The strength he possessed in his twenties was entirely due to receiving an imposing heritage.

And that, too, was a kind of luck.

In his master’s words, he was destined to become a godlike being.

Soon, led by a beautiful lady in a cheongsam, Zhang Xian and the others entered the auction venue and sat in the specially arranged VIP seats in the first row.

The regular seats were close together, but the VIP seats were sofas with tea tables, and there were quite a few snacks and drinks on them. The treatment was a whole different concept from the regular seats.

Zhang Xian didn’t sit with Cold Face but chose the seat on the far end. Cold Face sat in the middle.

Gradually, others started coming in too.

Jiao Long and the others, whether by bad luck or not, ended up sitting right behind Zhang Xian.

"Yo! Ni Qiu."

Zhang Xian turned his head, broke into a grin, and said, "You guys came in pretty fast! I thought it would be a while before you got in!"

"You..." Jiao Long was so angry his face turned green.

Xie Wuming, among others, felt the same way. He couldn’t figure out how this guy had a VIP card.

Jun Wuhen and Qiu Yun, sitting next to Zhang Xian, turned their heads to look at Xie Wuming and the others, their smiles eerie. As enemies, they certainly weren’t friendly. After all, they were bound to fight sooner or later.

"Here, have a drink."

Zhang Xian picked up a bottle of drink and said, "Sitting for a long time will make you thirsty."

Jiao Long and the others had green faces and did not respond to Zhang Xian. This bastard was pretty arrogant sitting in the VIP seats, huh?

"Alas.... a dog bites Lu Dongbin, not recognizing a good person," Zhang Xian said when he saw that no one took his offer. He shook his head ruefully and added, "Some people just have no manners."

"You..."

Jiao Long was furious, wishing he could charge up and finish Zhang Xian off now.

However, this guy had some sway in the auction, Jiao Long dared not show off. Several Innate-level experts had close relationships with the auction.

Being a businessman, Zhang Xian had a broad network and naturally had a lot of friends to help.

Soon, the auction began.

As per tradition, there was always an opening speech before the actual bidding, which was an immutable rule.

The first item to be auctioned was a martial arts manual, which wasn’t particularly rare.

The second was a Soft Sword, a popular weapon among martial artists because of its portability. This sword was reputedly very flexible, and the initial price was set at one million.

Compared to the dagger sold at the trade fair yesterday, this Soft Sword might not be as sharp, but considering other factors, it was superior.

At the trade fair, the one who bought the dagger overpaid, not reaching a high price of two million.

As the auction proceeded, Zhang Xian became somewhat disheartened after watching for a while.

He found what was treasured by Ancient Martial Arts Practitioners useless to him. Sitting here, he felt terribly out of place.

But soon, a medicinal herb caught his attention.

The Immortal’s Flower, an ingredient for concocting various elixirs. Among them, the Beauty-Preserving Elixir is the most famous.

Having promised Duan Hong before, he had to keep her youth unchanged. As soon as he saw the Fairy Flower, he was suddenly interested. Although the Beauty-Preserving Elixir could not preserve youth forever, fifty years should suffice.

Who knows what will happen in fifty years? Would he have concocted an even better Elixir of Beauty Preservation?

He had to get this for the next fifty years.

"This Fairy Flower, starting bid is two million, with each increase not less than 100,000. Anyone interested should act now," said the auctioneer, laughing after introducing the Fairy Flower.

Instantly, there was a new round of bidding below.

2.3 million, 2.8 million, 3 million, 3.5 million...

The price was escalating steadily.

It seemed that this Fairy Flower was very popular.

"Seven million."

Suddenly, Cold Face, who was sitting at the bottom and had been silent, instantly raised the price to seven million.

Once this price was called, the sound below obviously decreased. Perhaps folks felt that buying this Fairy Flower for seven million was not worthwhile, or perhaps no one dared to compete with Cold Face.

"Seven million once."

"Seven million twice."

The auctioneer asked from above, "Any further bids? If not, then this Fairy Flower belongs to someone else."

"Eight million." Zhang Xian called the price.

A man possessing several women, he had always felt some guilt in his heart, inexplicably. Although he was a cultivator, he did not think he was that different from others.

However, many times, the decisions people make often deviate significantly from their initial thoughts, doing things you know aren’t right.

Now, what he had to do was to make up for it as much as possible, to make his women happy. Preserving their youth was his first step. He must get this Immortal’s Flower.

Jun Wuhen and Qiu Yun were stunned for a moment, then they asked in unison, "Why do you want this Fairy Flower?"

Zhang Xian said, "This is useful to me."

Jun Wuhen said, "Er, it shouldn’t be that important, right? Cold Face seems interested in this Fairy Flower, and if you compete with him, you might get into trouble."

Zhang Xian said, "I must get this Fairy Flower. I won’t back down, no matter who comes."

Seeing the firm look on Zhang Xian’s face, Jun Wuhen and Qiu Yun didn’t know what else to say. Zhang Xian could do Alchemy, and this Fairy Flower might indeed be useful.

Cold Face glanced at Zhang Xian, frowned, and asked, "Brother, are you also interested in this Fairy Flower? This thing doesn’t seem to be of much use to ordinary people, right?"
