Not long after, a white-haired elder walked onto the auction main stage!

"This elder is known as Elder Xi, the chief steward of the Purple Gold Auction House, and usually he hosts the more important auctions!"

Nangong Xi said. She had accompanied her family before, so she was naturally familiar.

"Hello everyone, nice to see you again."

That Elder Xi said with a cheerful smile, giving off a very friendly vibe!

"Since everyone is quite familiar already, let's not waste time. Now, we will proceed with the auction of the first treasure!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a server from the auction house walked over holding a tray, covered with a layer of red cloth!

"This first treasure is a Ghost Level Middle Grade Blade Technique, starting bid at 100,000 Spirit Stones, with increments of 5,000 Spirit Stones for each raise!"

Elder Xi said with a smile:

"Let's start the bidding now!"

"Is it starting just like that?"

Su Chen noticed that the process was so simple, with no identity verification or asset verification, and asked somewhat surprised:

"Doesn't the Purple Gold Auction House worry about someone causing trouble with random bids, and then being unable to pay?"

"Who would dare?"

Nangong Xi said naturally:

"The strength of the Purple Gold Auction House is quite formidable. No one would want to offend it! It's said the royal family is connected to the Purple Gold Auction House. Of course, whether this is true or not, I don't know!"

"However, I've never heard of anyone daring to intentionally cause trouble at the Purple Gold Auction House!"

Su Chen nodded at this, no wonder the Purple Gold Auction House is so arrogant. Its strength and background are exceptionally impressive!

Indeed, if one does not have some skills, how could they achieve such status in the Imperial City?!

"One hundred and five thousand!"

As soon as Elder Xi finished speaking, someone immediately placed a bid!

"One hundred and ten thousand!"

Then, another voice rang out!

...

Soon, the Ghost Level Middle Grade Blade Technique had been bid up to 140,000!

Yet Su Chen did not make the slightest move, still sitting there whispering something to Nangong Xi!

This is just an appetizer; he really was not interested!

"I hope there is a treasure today that catches my eye!"

Su Chen thought to himself.

"One hundred fifty thousand!"

At this moment, someone directly shouted, raising the bid by ten thousand at once!

After a while, seeing no one continue to raise the bid, Elder Xi said with a smiling face:

"One hundred fifty thousand once, is there a higher bid?"

"One hundred fifty thousand twice!"

"Last chance, is anyone else bidding!"

Some of the previous bidders shook their heads—a Ghost Level Middle Grade Blade Technique, 150,000 Spirit Stones at most, any more wouldn't be worth it!

If it were other cultivation techniques or special martial techniques, that would be different!

"Alright, one hundred fifty thousand three times! Sold!"

As Elder Xi finished speaking, the Ghost Level Middle Grade Blade Technique was handed over to that person!

Likewise, he handed over the Spirit Notes he was holding!

Su Chen found it a bit novel because, on the Earth plane, no matter the place or type of auction, you always pay first before receiving the goods!

However, the Purple Gold Auction House does it differently, cash and goods are exchanged immediately after the auction concludes!

"Next, the second treasure!"

After the first auction concluded, someone had already brought up the second auction item, still covered with a thick red cloth!

Elder Xi unveiled it, revealing a sword!

But the most striking feature of this sword was its beauty—extremely beautiful, the entire body shimmering in a rich golden hue!

As soon as this sword appeared, it immediately caught the attention of many women, including Nangong Xi!

Women naturally love beauty, regardless of where they are, it's intrinsic!

"This sword is named Red Cloud Sword, also Ghost Level Middle Grade, with a starting bid of 150,000 and increments of 10,000 for each raise!"

Seeing the eager eyes of the women, Elder Xi said with a cheerful smile.

Actually, considering the sword's rank, it wouldn't normally reach this price, around 120,000 would be fair!

But because it was particularly favored by women, they forcibly raised it by 30,000!

"One hundred and sixty thousand!"

Before Elder Xi finished his words, a woman eagerly placed a bid!

"One hundred seventy thousand!"

"I'll bid one hundred eighty thousand!"

"Two hundred thousand!"

"Two hundred ten thousand!"

...

Indeed, the women's battle was far fiercer than the men's, breaking twenty thousand in the blink of an eye!

Nangong Xi originally wanted to bid as well, but considering the limited Spirit Stones she had, she gave up!

What if there's a better treasure later?

The crowd's earlier guess was indeed correct; Nangong Xi brought a total of sixty thousand Spirit Stones this time, her family could not resist and gave her that amount!

It's not that the Nangong Clan couldn't afford it, but Nangong Xi's age and cultivation level meant that giving her too much might cause trouble!

The family's thoughts were that this auction wasn't really intended for acquiring treasures, just to let her have some fun!

"Three hundred thousand!"

At this moment, a voice rang out!

It instantly attracted everyone's attention—one reason being the bold price increase, others were raising by 10,000 at most 20,000!

This person, on the other hand, raised the bid by nearly 100,000 at once!

The other reason was because this was a man's voice, while all prior bids had been from women!

So as soon as this voice emerged, many looked toward the man, realizing it was the man accompanying Nangong Xi!

Not long before, it was him who stirred quite a commotion at the auction entrance!

Even Elder Xi couldn't help glancing a couple of times!

"Su Chen, why are you bidding for this sword? Are you planning to gift it?"

Nangong Xi asked, as this sword was clearly more suited for women!

"Indeed!"

Su Chen nodded with a smile.

"Oh!"

Nangong Xi quickly thought of a key question, after all, does Su Chen have money?

By the looks of him, he didn't seem like someone who could produce 300,000 Spirit Stones!

"Three hundred fifty thousand!"

At this moment, another voice rang out!

Honestly, when Su Chen bid 300,000, it had already knocked out the majority of the women bidding earlier, after all, it was their money!

A higher price can be accepted, but much higher, then logic starts to set in!

However, the emergence of this voice sparked interest among many!

The bid came from Shen Yuan!

The events at the door earlier, passed by word of mouth, had reached nearly everyone in the hall!

At this moment, it was finally the first head-to-head confrontation!

They wanted to see, who would be humiliated!

Of course, they felt there was no suspense!

How could this young man compare with Young Master Shen?!

But at this moment, Su Chen gently raised his hand:

"Five hundred thousand!"

As his words fell, it deeply shocked everyone!

This young man bid without regard to the rules!

First he increased by ninety thousand, then directly by one hundred fifty thousand!

How can others compete like this?!

The point is, does this young man have that much?

But that is the Purple Gold Auction House's concern, not theirs!
