Chapter 390: Chapter 390

How many people dreamt of dining alone with Meng Die? If anyone were ever personally invited by Meng Die, they would be ecstatic.

However, what Meng Die found unbelievable was that her invitation had been rejected by Ding Fan.

At that moment, Meng Die looked at Ding Fan, her lips slightly curling upwards. "Mr. Ding, are you afraid I might eat you up?" she teased.

"Tonight, Mr. Ding is accompanying me; he has no time to dine with you," Mu Zi retorted, clinging to Ding Fan's arm as she spoke to Meng Die.

Meng Die smiled at Mu Zi and said, "Since Mr. Ding is so busy, then let's forget the meal. The president of our auction house wants to meet with Mr. Ding tomorrow morning. I hope you won't be late."

Having said that, Meng Die winked at Ding Fan and then pushed open the door to his room and walked out.

Watching Meng Die leave, Mu Zi made faces, but Ding Fan fell into deep thought.

The auction house was profound in its resources, and they were hardly like the Yanjing Auction House, which would invite him to supply them with pills. So why did the president of this auction house want to meet him?

"Mr. Ding, you have a message," said a staff member inside the room, pointing at an unread message on the computer screen to Ding Fan.

Mu Zi immediately went over, took the mouse, and clicked on the message.

Tomorrow, 10:30 AM, Autumn Leaf Villa in the west of the city.

Ding Fan read the message, assuming this must be where the auction house's president wanted to meet him tomorrow.

Being able to organize such a massive auction and gather all the ancient martial experts in Longxi, the auction house was indeed extraordinary.

Ding Fan wondered why the president of such a well-established auction house wanted to meet him. Was it because his pills were extraordinary? Was it because the other party knew he had slain Qi Yuanzheng? Or was there some other reason?

Ding Fan thought it over for a long time but couldn't figure it out. Eventually, he stopped thinking about it. Pondering endlessly was just a waste of time.

After a short while, the last day of the auction officially began.

The number of people at the auction venue today was more than doubled compared to usual days. On the last day of each auction, a treasure always went on sale. Many came just for that ultimate treasure.

After a burst of stirring music, Meng Die appeared at the very center of the auction stage wearing a beautiful purple dress.

Meng Die was already beautiful, and in this purple evening gown, which revealed her long, fair legs and partially exposed bust, she not only looked seductive and elegant but also more noble and dignified.

As Meng Die took her place on the auction stage, a warm round of applause broke out from the audience, and some even whistled at her beauty.

Seated beside Ding Fan, Mu Zi glanced at him and murmured, as if speaking to him, "This woman is clearly a fairy, a fairy skilled at ensnaring men!"

Ding Fan chuckled inwardly, but his face remained pensive.

Wu Die gracefully made her way to the center of the auction stage.

The music quieted down, and the applause and cheers also subsided, only then did Wu Die smile and picked up the microphone.

Wu Die's face rarely showed any other expression; no matter when, people seemed always to see her smiling.

"Today is the last day of the auction, and everyone probably knows that at the end of each auction, a treasure is up for grabs, and I believe you all came for that treasure..."

As Wu Die spoke, her captivating eyes swept around, her lips curling into a smile as she said, "I can reveal a bit about today's final treasure—it will definitely dazzle everyone and make your trip worthwhile..."

Wu Die's ability to manage the crowd was as strong as ever; her simple words heightened everyone's expectations for the night's final treasure.

"...So, the first item for sale tonight is a Qing Dynasty porcelain vase..." After a brief introduction, Wu Die swiftly moved on to the main subject.

The first item was an antique, and Ding Fan had no interest in antiques; he merely watched on the side.

The auction progressed, and there was hardly anything that truly captivated Ding Fan. The items on sale were mainly antiques and paintings, and the bidding was not fierce; a slight increase on the bid price was usually enough to secure an item.

The auction continued until the halfway point when finally, an item piqued Ding Fan's interest.

"...Next, I present to you a treasure, a Fifth Grade Pill, the Primordial Chaos Pill..."

Fifth Grade Pills! Thıs content belongs to 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚~𝙣𝙚𝙩

As Wu Die spoke, the entire venue was shocked. Fifth Grade Pills were treasures among treasures. It was rare to even see Second Grade Pills, let alone Fifth Grade ones.

At that moment, not just the people outside in the venue, but even Ding Fan was wide-eyed in astonishment.

Although Ding Fan had refined Fourth Grade pills before, that was entirely with the help of Zizi's Nine Luminaries Fire and the newly purchased Ancient Cauldron. It was also a fluke that he had managed to refine them.

Simply put, out of a hundred attempts, he might successfully produce about ten or so. As for Fifth Grade Pills, they were beyond Ding Fan's reach.

He might need to reach the Eighth Level Qi Practitioner before attempting the refinement of Fifth Grade Pills.

But now someone was actually selling Fifth Grade pills!

What did that imply? Fifth Grade pills were already mid-level pills. It was not just on Earth where these were rarely seen, but even in the Cultivation World, they weren't something one could encounter at will.

Ding Fan's Divine Sense swept out, and after some investigation, he could tell that those pills were indeed Fifth Grade pills.

Could it be that there was still someone on Earth capable of refining Fifth Grade pills?!

Indeed, every world had its own powerful beings!

The entire atmosphere of the scene had become very intense due to the appearance of these Fifth Grade pills, since they were not something one could just stumble upon.

"The auctioning method for the Primordial Chaos Pill starts at a low price of fifteen billion!" Wu Die declared confidently to the audience.

Fifteen billion! The venue was in uproar once again!

In this auction, money seemed to be no object at all, with every treasure starting from tens of millions to billions!

"Donghe Sect offers twenty billion!" Just as Wu Die finished speaking, someone from the supreme private room had already made a bid.

A five billion increase with just one sentence caused a stir among the attendees!

Ding Fan had some memory of this Donghe Sect; they had previously competed with Qi Yuanzheng for the Fourth Grade Foundation Building Pills.

At that time, Donghe Sect had snatched the Fourth Grade Foundation Building Pill directly from Qi Yuanzheng's hands for twenty billion. Today, they were once again splurging twenty billion to buy this Fifth Grade Primordial Chaos Pill!

Ding Fan could not help but cast a sidelong glance; Donghe Sect indeed had some strength.

"I offer twenty-one billion!" At this point, more bids started coming.

Fifth Grade pills were treasures; swallowing one could significantly elevate one's level! Such treasures naturally invite covetous glances.

"Even a fierce god like Qi Yuanzheng daren't act arrogantly in front of me, yet this ignorant youngster dares to bid recklessly! We, Donghe Sect, have decided on this Primordial Chaos Pill. If anyone competes with us, they will be considered our enemy! Donghe Sect offers twenty-two billion!"

From the supreme guest seats, Donghe Sect made another bid.

The words spoken by Donghe Sect had certainly quieted the room.

Previously, the Evil Supreme had dominated this auction with incredible force, only yesterday, Donghe Sect snatched the Fourth Grade pill from Qi Yuanzheng.

Many thought that Qi Yuanzheng might single-handedly destroy Donghe Sect.

However, today at the auction, the people from Donghe Sect were present, but Qi Yuanzheng was nowhere to be seen. What did this imply?

Given Qi Yuanzheng's character of holding grudges, it was absolutely impossible for him to let the people of Donghe Sect go. With the presence of Donghe Sect here, it could only mean one thing: Qi Yuanzheng had been severely injured by Donghe Sect, or directly killed!

For a moment, those who were eagerly bidding fell silent.

Someone like Qi Yuanzheng, who could slaughter five Earth Level Experts, was pressed down by Donghe Sect; what chances did they stand, when even Qi Yuanzheng couldn't surpass them?

Donghe Sect was evidently a more powerful existence than Qi Yuanzheng!

While others were fearful, Ding Fan scoffed coldly from the distinguished guest seat.

Donghe Sect truly knew no shame.

Just last night, it was he who had killed Qi Yuanzheng, yet Donghe Sect was claiming it as their deed.

At that moment, a term came to Ding Fan's mind.

"I offer twenty-three billion!" Ding Fan made his bid directly!

This Fifth Grade Primordial Chaos Pill was extremely important to Ding Fan right now. Perhaps, swallowing it could allow him to advance directly to the Seventh Level of Qi Cultivation, so this treasure was a must-have for him!

Because the microphone in the Supreme Guest Seats was processed with a special sound effect, it was impossible for those present to discern who was speaking. This also provided a level of privacy protection for the supreme guests!

This was also the reason why Cheng Bufan and his group were unaware of the enmity between Ding Fan and Qi Yuanzheng.

Twenty-three billion! And there was still someone placing higher bids.

The attendees were visibly moved.

Donghe Sect had just declared, whoever competed with them would be their enemy. It appeared that someone had just openly challenged Donghe Sect!

"It seems there really is someone who isn't afraid to die!" From the Donghe Sect's location in the supreme guest seats, another voice came...
