Chapter 383: Chapter 383

Ding Fan at this moment dared not to be too ostentatious, although his cultivation had reached the Sixth Level of Qi cultivation, he still had difficulty dealing with Earth Level Fifth Grade experts, not to mention Qi Yuanzheng, who was at the Peak of Earth Level.

Back when he battled with Myriad Ghosts Holy Monarch, if he hadn't had his Flying Sword, Ding Fan would have probably died long ago.

Qi Yuanzheng's Divine Sense swept through the VIP section once, then withdrew his telekinetic power, and sat in silence without another word. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝘯𝘦𝘵

Qi Yuanzheng was indeed an impressive figure. Just last night he killed five Earth Level Experts single-handedly. Although Qi Yuanzheng kept silent now, his aura still put pressure on everyone around him.

About half an hour after Ding Fan entered, the auction resumed.

Today, the hostess Wu Die dressed even more stunningly, wearing a bright red cheongsam that sketched out her beautiful and tall figure, making it extremely eye-catching.

Underneath the cheongsam, a pair of shapely and seemingly endless legs drew the adoring gazes of many, who found it hard to look away.

In the face of such a woman, many had the same thought.

If they could ride her just once, it would be incredibly pleasurable. Even if they died immediately after getting off Wu Die, it would be worth it.

Wu Die obviously had a sophisticated command of the situation. She cast a glance around the audience, then with a charming smile, she teased, "It's been a night apart, I wonder if you've missed me... "

Wu Die's smile bloomed like a flower. Coupled with her provocative speech, the entire venue heated up even before the auction officially started.

After joking with a few people close to the stage, Wu Die's smile faded. "Ladies and gentlemen, the second day of our auction begins now!"

As Wu Die finished speaking, an exciting piece of music started up, pushing the mood that Wu Die had laid out to a small climax.

The crowd responded with a thunderous applause like the roar of the sea.

Ding Fan watched all this silently. He held Wu Die in high regard – her meticulous thinking, seasoned handling of affairs, decent cultivation, and outstanding appearance made her an impressive talent.

As the applause died down, Wu Die's clear and melodious voice came through the microphone once more, reaching every corner of the venue.

"Today marks the second day of our auction, and now I'll announce the first item to be auctioned..." Wu Die paused deliberately.

The audience couldn't help but show interest in what was to be auctioned next...

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Wu Die continued, "The first item is Spiritstone Essence!"

After Wu Die spoke, the Spiritstone Essence was brought up to the side.

Ding Fan had once obtained Spiritstone Essence, and that was truly a treasure. It was thanks to the Spiritstone Essence that he broke through so rapidly.

Later, at an auction in Yanjing, Ding Fan traded his Spiritstone Essence for another treasure.

Now, Ding Fan used his Divine Sense to scan the Spiritstone Essence, and it seemed that it was less than one-fifth the size of his original piece.

The Spiritual Energy emitted by the Spiritstone Essence was also very thin.

Wu Die on the stage continued, "The bidding for this Spiritstone Essence will be in cash only, as requested by the seller. The starting bid: eighty million!"

Ding Fan shook his head, thinking the Grade Level of the Spiritstone Essence was too low and the price too high. It was a poor deal, and he decided to pass on this auction.

Some interested buyers went on stage to inspect the Spiritstone Essence, but of those, only one made a bid.

Paying eighty million for a Spiritstone Essence with such scant Spiritual Energy was indeed too much of a loss...

In the end, the Spiritstone Essence was sold for eighty-one million.

The items that followed in the auction weren't of any use to Ding Fan; they were just some ores, Cultivation Techniques, and some common Magic Artifacts.

Ding Fan showed no interest in these items. As the auction reached its midpoint, Ding Fan simply closed his eyes, adopting a serene and self-contented demeanor.

"Next up for auction is a third-grade Pill, the Rising Spirit Pill, which has been appraised! Its main effect is to greatly enhance cultivation... As per the seller's wishes, the starting bid is one hundred million!" Wu Die announced to the audience.

Boom... The somewhat quiet auction hall once again buzzed with excitement.

A third-grade Pill was such a rarity, and this was the first time it appeared in such an auction.

No one present doubted the auction house's appraisal, as they would not be operating on such a large scale without a solid reputation.

"It's Brother Fan's treasure..." Mu Zi uttered, his eyes wide with surprise.

Yesterday, Ding Fan sold three Pills for three billion, and Mu Zi was curious to see how much this third-grade Pill from Ding Fan would fetch.

Su Maner perked up upon hearing that it was a consigned item from Ding Fan.

"I bid one hundred and fifty million!" As soon as Wu Die finished speaking, someone shouted out a bid promptly.

The bid instantly raised by fifty million, causing a stir among the crowd.

The bidder, a man in his forties with a resolute face and a burly physique, had sun-kissed skin and an fierce look about him, clearly not an easy person to deal with.

"I bid one hundred and eighty million!"

"Two billion five hundred million!"

Soon, the price of Ding Fan's Rising Spirit Pill soared as if aboard a rocket, shooting upwards. In less than a minute, the Rising Spirit Pill, originally priced at one billion, skyrocketed to three billion.

In the VIP seating, Su Maner was dumbfounded.

Su Maner had seen high stakes before, after all, she was the CEO of the Dongcheng Qin Corporation.

But three billion was an astronomical number. To think that Dongcheng's annual revenue wasn't even that high, and yet Ding Fan had earned three billion in a single transaction.

A major company couldn't even outearn a single individual...

Mu Zi, although she had somewhat grown accustomed to being shocked by Ding Fan, couldn't help but stare wide-eyed at this moment.

Three billion... that was a whole three billion! She had never seen earning money appear so easy to someone.

And clearly, three billion was not the final price for the Rising Spirit Pill. Bids continued from both sides, and in short order, the price of the Rising Spirit Pill had already reached four and a half billion.

Just when the crowd was still eager to bid, a robust and powerful voice suddenly called out.

"I, Qi Yuanzheng... bid five billion!"

His voice struck like thunder on a clear day. Qi Yuanzheng's words, like a bucket of cold water, extinguished the previously lively atmosphere of the auction.

Although many were desperate to obtain the Rising Spirit Pill, as desirable as it was, would they still be alive to use it after acquiring it?

Last night, Qi Yuanzheng had single-handedly slain five Earth Level Experts. That was the pace of decimating an entire Sect. Who among those present would want to make an enemy of such a formidable person?

Qi Yuanzheng stood there, still wearing his Straw-hat, while everyone else fell into silence.

Ding Fan glanced at Qi Yuanzheng outside the VIP seating.

Qi Yuanzheng certainly was domineering. Had he not forcibly stepped forward, the price of the Rising Spirit Pill would likely have far exceeded five billion.

However, Ding Fan was satisfied with the price as well. Five billion was not far from what he had expected in his mind.

But through this incident, Ding Fan had gained a new level of understanding of Qi Yuanzheng.

Qi Yuanzheng was a man of meticulous thought. He hadn't stood up and dominated the auction when the bidding for the Rising Spirit Pill began.

It was only when the pill had reached five billion that Qi Yuanzheng stood up.

If Qi Yuanzheng had truly bought the Rising Spirit Pill for one billion, not to mention others, the backers of the auction house would not have agreed. Qi Yuanzheng was formidable, but given Ding Fan's understanding of the Qiankun Auction House over the past two days, Qi Yuanzheng wouldn't dare to offend the auction house.

If Qi Yuanzheng had forcibly taken the Rising Spirit Pill, he would no doubt have conflicted with the Qiankun Auction House.

Secondly, even if by some fluke the Qiankun Auction House didn't go after Qi Yuanzheng, there was no guarantee that others, dissatisfied, wouldn't band together to cause him trouble.

Qi Yuanzheng could fight. Alone, he could defeat five Earth Level Experts, but what about ten? Or twenty?

Qi Yuanzheng didn't want to become the target of all, so he only stood up for the Rising Spirit Pill when the price was appropriate.

His action balanced many people's thoughts.

Qi Yuanzheng was not one to resort to brute force alone.

"Five billion... a third grade Rising Spirit Pill for five billion, anyone else wishing to bid higher..." At this moment, Wu Die on the stage began the final call.

Who now would dare to bid? The Rising Spirit Pill was good, but being alive was even better.

Seeing that no one was bidding anymore, Wu Die began the countdown. She called out three times, and no one bid.

Only then did Wu Die strike the wooden mallet, finalizing the sale of the Rising Spirit Pill to Qi Yuanzheng's hands.

Meanwhile, Ding Fan's computer chimed with a notification.

The beautiful staff member serving in the private room turned to Ding Fan and said respectfully, "Sir, four billion has been transferred to your card... Please check it!" she told Ding Fan as she bowed slightly.

Ding Fan glanced at the screen of the computer, and indeed, his online banking account showed an increase by four billion.

Mu Zi and Su Maner were both astounded by the turn of events.

The auction house's commission was indeed steep; one transaction and they took a billion. In these three days, how much money would the auction house make!

"The next item for auction is a type of Spirit Grass, this Spirit Grass is called Comforting Grass!" Wu Die announced on the stage just then.
