Chapter 283: Chapter 283

Zhao Letian was very satisfied with the final price of the first Life Extension Pill.

However, this Life Extension Pill ended up in the hands of his rival, Murong Qian, which slightly depressed him.

But then again, if it weren't for Murong Qian's participation, the first Life Extension Pill might not have fetched such a high price.

After the auction of the first Life Extension Pill ended, the host immediately introduced the subsequent auction items.

Although all the items that came up later were rare treasures usually not seen, they paled in comparison to the Life Extension Pill and rarely fetched more than a million Mid-Grade Essence Stones.

"Next, we have an auction item that rarely appears in auctions, and I believe many esteemed guests will be interested in it."

On the stage, the White-robed Elder smiled and surveyed the crowd as a flash of light appeared in his hand and immediately beside him appeared twenty or thirty white demon wolves, each over ten meters long, with the largest one even surpassing twenty meters, extremely massive.

"Is the auction item really a demon beast, a Sect Martial Realm demon wolf?"

"All these demon wolves are at the Initial Stage of the Sect Martial Realm, with the leading Wolf King possessing the power of the third level of the Sect Martial Realm."

"Unfortunately, this kind of Snow Wolf is just a common demon beast from the northern icy plains, and the highest cultivation level they can reach is only the third level of the Sect Martial Realm in their lifetime. They have no cultivation value and are quite redundant to most powerful practitioners in the Sect Martial Realm, tasteless like chicken ribs, and at best can only be purchased to be given to the younger generations for protection."

The crowd in the venue discussed animatedly, but there were not many who wanted to participate in the auction, especially the more powerful practitioners who showed no interest.

"It's actually a pack of wolves, and they are all Sect Martial Realm demon wolves."

Zhao Letian's eyes lit up with eagerness.

He was very interested in this pack of demon wolves because he had many enemies. He could generally handle those in the True Martial Realm, but he was not yet capable of dealing with those in the Sect Martial Realm and urgently needed some means of protection.

If he could purchase this pack of demon wolves, at the least, he wouldn't have to worry too much about facing someone at the Initial Stage of the Sect Martial Realm, and he could even have a chance against those at the Middle Stage of the Sect Martial Realm.

As for cultivation value, he did not care at all.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as you have seen, this is a complete pack of Snow Wolves, thirty in all, all at the Sect Martial Realm, led by a wolf king with the prowess of the third level of Sect Martial Realm. Their overall combat strength is very formidable. Perhaps it may not be necessary for some of you, but it could be bought as a gift for family juniors for protection. Alright, without further ado, the starting bid is five hundred thousand Mid-Grade Essence Stones, with each increment no less than ten thousand Mid-Grade Essence Stones. Esteemed guests, please begin."

The White-robed Elder announced loudly.

"Fifty-five hundred and fifty thousand."

"Fifty-six thousand."

"Fifty-eight thousand."

As soon as the White-robed Elder finished speaking, bids began to rise successively.

In the entire auction venue, with tens of thousands of attendees, although interested parties were few, there were still quite a number of participants bidding.

"Six hundred and ten thousand, this pack of Snow Wolves must belong to the Bai Family, I hope fellow guests will offer some face." Text acquired from M|V|LEMP&YR.

A middle-aged man in a white robe declared.

The crowd reacted, and many immediately chose to give up.

The Bai Family was a powerful force in the Royal Capital, and ordinary people dared not offend them easily.

"Brother Bai, you think you can secure this pack of Snow Wolves for six hundred and ten thousand? That's too naive. Rong offers seven hundred thousand."

A corpulent man in a golden robe declared.

"Seven hundred thousand?"

Many frowned immediately and chose to abandon their bids as this price was beyond their expectations.

"Fat Rong, are you really looking to contest with Bai?"

The man in the white robe darkened in expression.

The financial power of the Bai Family was not as immense as the Rong Family, and if people from the Rong Family got involved, he had no chance.

"Let's skip the nonsense. If you want to bid, keep going, otherwise, this pack of Snow Wolves will belong to the Rong Family."

The man in the golden robe sneered coldly, disdainfully saying,

"Hmph, Rong Fatty. You're ruthless. I, Bai, will remember this."

The man in the white robe snorted coldly and ultimately chose to give up.

"So what if you remember? Do you think I, Rong, would be afraid of you? Can the results be announced now?"

The man in the golden robe smirked contemptuously, then looked towards the White-robed Elder on the stage and said,

"700,000 Mid-Grade Essence Stones, is there anyone offering higher?"

The White-robed Elder looked around at the crowd expectantly,

Although 700,000 Mid-Grade Essence Stones was already quite a sum, it still fell short of his expectations. If it sold at this price, this round of the auction would be considered a failure.

"10,000 High Grade Essence Stones."

Just then, from the private room on the second floor, Murong Qian's voice could be heard.

The man in the golden robe looked up at Murong Qian's private room and cursed silently in frustration.

Now that Murong Qian had made a bid, the Rong Family would have no chance at acquiring the Snow Wolf pack; after all, they were nothing compared to the House of the Southern Protector.

Likewise, hearing Murong Qian's bid, those in the crowd who were still hopeful finally gave up completely.

10,000 High Grade Essence Stones, equivalent to 1,000,000 Mid-Grade Essence Stones, far exceeded most people's expectations.

"10,000 High Grade Essence Stones, is there a higher bid?"

The White-robed Elder was pleased and continued to ask.

He was well aware that among those present, many concealed their wealth. If they wished, offering a price exceeding 10,000 High Grade Essence Stones would be no issue at all.

"11,000 High Grade Essence Stones."

Zhao Letian, sitting in a secluded corner, spoke calmly.

"12,000 High Grade Essence Stones."

Murong Qian raised the bid without hesitation; anything she took an interest in, she had to obtain.

"12,001 High Grade Essence Stones."

Zhao Letian did not hesitate and immediately followed; he was equally determined to get what he wanted.

Murong Qian countered again, her tone now carrying a hint of anger.

"13,001 High Grade Essence Stones."

Zhao Letian continued to bid, feeling slightly annoyed as well. If not for Murong Qian's interference, he might have been able to save many Primordial Stones.

Murong Qian was truly angered, her voice becoming ice-cold.

"15,001 High Grade Essence Stones."

Zhao Letian said indifferently.

"Who exactly are you? How dare you oppose the Commandery Princess of the House of the Southern Protector? Do you wish to die?"

Inside the private room, Murong Qian stood up, glaring fixedly at Zhao Letian below and asked coldly.

It wasn't that she couldn't offer a higher price, but she was annoyed by Zhao Letian's persistence.

"Getting angry from embarrassment? The Commandery Princess of the House of the Southern Protector, it turns out you have such little tolerance. You truly disgrace the House of the Southern Protector. If you want to bid, then bid; otherwise, roll back where you came from and stop embarrassing yourself here."

Zhao Letian said coldly, unafraid of Murong Qian.
