As Senior Diao's voice fell, everyone looked towards the booth where the Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance was located, and a wave of booing sounded in the hall.

"A fourth-grade inferior inner armor is not worth 1,200,000 second-grade Yuan stones, yet Zhouyan spent 9 million second-grade Yuan stones."

"Indeed, he was obviously played by Luo Feng. If it were me, I'd be so angry I'd vomit blood."

"9 million second-grade Yuan stones could buy a top-notch fifth-grade inner armor. No matter how much money you have, you shouldn't spend it like this."

In the booth, Yang Wanyi's rosy lips curved into a slight smile. She said to Luo Feng, "So you were deliberately raising the price against Zhouyan. How did you know he would definitely continue bidding?"

Elder Qian also looked curiously at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng touched his nose and smiled, "I guessed."

"I really can't do anything about you." Yang Wanyi shook her head rather helplessly.

Luo Feng's words were half true and half false. Zhouyan was arrogant, and seeing the other party constantly bidding against him, he deliberately raised the price to anger Zhouyan. When people get agitated, they do rash things.

However, Luo Feng wasn't sure when Zhouyan would give up. Even if he lost, he would only miss tens of thousands of second-grade Yuan stones, a loss he could bear. Now, it seemed his luck wasn't bad; Zhouyan was easier to bait than expected.

The fourth-grade inferior inner armor, the Sky Wolf Cloud Armor, was soon sent to the Heavenly Position Business Line's booth.

Pa!

Gritting his teeth, Zhouyan paid the Yuan stones. Once the beautiful attendant left, he slammed a palm on the Sky Wolf Cloud Armor, causing ripples in the air visible to the naked eye.

"Damn it, if I don't kill this man one day, I'll never be satisfied!"

With a livid face, Zhouyan's throat emitted a beast-like roar, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.

The loss of Yuan stones was secondary. Being repeatedly suppressed by Luo Feng, and now being played with, spending 9 million second-grade Yuan stones on a fourth-grade inferior inner armor, was the greatest humiliation of his life. If possible, he wanted to kill Luo Feng right then and there.

Senior Diao couldn't care less about these things. At every auction, there's always some unexpected event, with some worthless items auctioned to high prices, while some valuable treasures might remain unnoticed, ending in an unsold state.

Quickly composing himself, Senior Diao nodded towards the Jade Platform. Soon, a graceful young woman carrying a gold-inlaid wooden tray walked forward.

The auction proceeded with the treasures being presented one by one. The martial artists in the hall enthusiastically bid, competing for the items they desired. Although the atmosphere wasn't as frantic as with the Sky Wolf Cloud Armor and the Five Elements Pills, it was still quite heated.

It was time for the appraisal meeting's treasure to take the stage again.

"The thirty-second auction item, a third-grade storage ring, the Washing Dragon Ring. The space inside this Washing Dragon Ring is twenty times that of a second-grade storage ring. With such a ring, traveling the martial world would undoubtedly be more convenient. Moreover, this Washing Dragon Ring is forged from Deep Black Ironstone from the ten-thousand-meter abyss of the North Sea, which can slightly enhance a martial artist's Yuan Qi quality."

As he spoke, Senior Diao took the Washing Dragon Ring from the gold-inlaid wooden tray and placed it on his palm, channeling Protective Gang Energy.

Hum!

In an instant, a trace of black flowing light ran across the surface of the pitch-black dragon-shaped ring, combining with Senior Diao's Protective Gang Energy, making it even more focused, and spreading a sense of heaviness.

"Good stuff! It can actually enhance the quality of a martial artist's Yuan Qi." In the audience, a middle-aged martial artist in yellow exclaimed, his eyes gleaming.

Staring at the ring, Luo Feng felt a stir in his heart. A third-grade storage ring was already extremely rare, and to think this Washing Dragon Ring could further enhance a martial artist's Yuan Qi. Having cultivated the Divine Dragon Nine Changes, his Yuan Qi quality was already superior to martial artists of the same level. Obtaining this Washing Dragon Ring would undoubtedly make him even stronger.

Yang Wanyi withdrew her gaze from the Washing Dragon Ring and looked at Luo Feng, saying, "This Washing Dragon Ring might slightly enhance a martial artist's Yuan Qi, so True Yuan Realm martial artists will likely compete for it."

Luo Feng nodded and responded, "No problem, this Washing Dragon Ring will definitely be mine."

"So confident?" Yang Wanyi slightly raised her elegant eyebrows, her bright eyes revealing a hint of surprise, while Elder Qian's gaze also showed some shock.

Having just purchased the Five Elements Pills, spending 1,250,000 second-grade Yuan stones, they couldn't comprehend where Luo Feng got so much wealth from. Even if he plundered a Demon Sect stronghold, the wealth shouldn't be this astonishing.

Luo Feng just smiled without replying.

"The Washing Dragon Ring, starting price 650,000 second-grade Yuan stones, with each increment no less than 10,000 second-grade Yuan stones. Bidding starts now."

Witnessing the eager eyes of the audience, a satisfied smile appeared on Senior Diao's face as he announced the start of the auction.

"660,000 second-grade Yuan stones!"

"680,000."

"700,000!"

As soon as the words fell, wealthy martial artists immediately placed their bids, all of them having Five Spirit Rotations or higher cultivation levels.

Soon, the bidding for the Washing Dragon Ring exceeded 700,000 second-grade Yuan stones.

"800,000 second-grade Yuan stones!"

In the spacious Business Alliance Hall, a deep voice echoed continuously. Once the voice spoke, most people felt an inexplicable pressure, as if a huge stone was pressing on their chest.

With this price, the hall fell into a brief silence. 800,000 second-grade Yuan stones was no small amount, putting considerable pressure on most Spiritual Rotation Realm martial artists.

Moreover, many were wary of the identity of this bidder. Judging by the voice, the speaker was likely a True Yuan Realm powerhouse. Competing in wealth with a True Yuan Realm powerhouse, how could one prevail?

"A True Yuan Realm martial artist has made a move," Yang Wanyi slightly frowned and said to Luo Feng.

Luo Feng nodded, about to place a bid.

"850,000 second-grade Yuan stones!"

At this moment, from across the booth, Zhouyan's voice suddenly rang out.

Having lost the Five Elements Pills, he didn't want to lose the Washing Dragon Ring too. Although this might not quell the Crown Prince's anger, it was better than having no treasure at all.

Luo Feng was a little surprised that Zhouyan didn't involve himself previously but was now participating in the bidding.

He knew that both the Five Elements Pills and the Washing Dragon Ring were treasures of the Heavenly Position Business Line. To bid on your own treasures in this manner was truly puzzling.

However, having come to the Big Market City with the aim of acquiring a third-grade storage ring, he naturally wouldn't give up and declared,

"880,000 second-grade Yuan stones."

This time, Luo Feng was cautious, only raising the bid by 20,000 second-grade Yuan stones.

"Hmm, Luo Feng has made a move again. Just how many Yuan stones does he have?"

"How many Yuan stones could he possibly have, it should all be Yang Wanyi's wealth." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Tsk tsk, being able to back such a massive tree as the Dayang Commerce Alliance is really good. Why don't I have such luck…"

"Both Luo Feng and Zhouyan have made their moves. I wonder if this time the Washing Dragon Ring's auction price will break the Five Elements Pills' record."

In the Massive Cauldron Commerce Alliance booth, Han Xuan's gaze was a bit strange. He could now mobilize at most 2-3 million second-grade Yuan stones, and the Dayang Commerce Alliance had just suffered a major disaster. By rights, they shouldn't be able to mobilize so much Yuan stone.

In a corner of the audience, the middle-aged martial artist in yellow furrowed his brow upon hearing Luo Feng's voice. After thinking for a moment, he spoke,

"Nine hundred thousand second-grade Yuan Stones."

"Damn it, it seems Luo Feng is intentionally opposing me!"

Zhouyan's expression was not pleasant. Every time there was a bid, Luo Feng would participate. He didn't believe it was all a coincidence.

"Could he be trying to toy with me again?"

His cold eyes flickered, and Zhouyan placed another bid: "Nine hundred and twenty thousand second-grade Yuan Stones."

The Five Elements Pills were lost, and he could not afford to miss out on the Washing Dragon Ring.

Without a second thought, Luo Feng raised the bid again: "Nine hundred and fifty thousand second-grade Yuan Stones."

"These two madmen... fine, I'm out."

On the other side, a middle-aged martial artist in yellow shook his head and gave up on the bidding.

He had a third-grade storage ring but was attracted to the Washing Dragon Ring's ability to enhance a martial artist's Yuan Qi. However, spending nearly a million second-grade Yuan Stones seemed too costly.

Moreover, judging by the earlier competition for the Five Elements Pills, continuing to bid seemed like an endless pit.

Zhouyan's face turned gloomy as he glanced at the opposite box and shouted loudly: "Nine hundred and sixty thousand second-grade Yuan Stones. Luo Feng, if you can bid higher, the Washing Dragon Ring is yours."

He suspected that Luo Feng was still toying with him and wasn't sincerely trying to win the Washing Dragon Ring, providing him a chance to win the bid.

Luo Feng didn't know of Zhouyan's schemes, and even if he did, he wouldn't care. He just wanted to obtain the Washing Dragon Ring, not worried about the price, unless the bid exceeded three million second-grade Yuan Stones, his limit.

"Nine hundred and eighty thousand second-grade Yuan Stones." Without hesitation, Luo Feng increased the bid by another twenty thousand second-grade Yuan Stones.

"Damn it!"

Zhouyan's face turned dark. He turned to the black-robed elder beside him and said, "Elder Qi Yuan, hand over all your Yuan Stones."

Elder Qi Yuan furrowed his brows slightly and said, "Other than the fifty thousand second-grade Yuan Stones earlier, I only have six thousand second-grade Yuan Stones left."

After taking the remaining forty thousand second-grade Yuan Stones from Elder Qi Yuan, Zhouyan pooled all his Yuan Stones and shouted: "One million and ten thousand second-grade Yuan Stones!"

"An instant raise of one hundred and twenty thousand second-grade Yuan Stones, it seems Zhouyan is determined to win the Washing Dragon Ring."

"Strange, the Washing Dragon Ring is a treasure from the Heavenly Position Business Line. Why is he doing this?"

"Who knows whose hands the Washing Dragon Ring will fall into."

Almost as Zhouyan's voice rang out, Luo Feng's voice echoed in the hall: "One million and twelve thousand second-grade Yuan Stones."

Without rushing, Luo Feng raised the bid again by two thousand second-grade Yuan Stones.

Yang Wanyi glanced at Luo Feng, biting her red lips. Including the bid for the Five Elements Pills at one hundred and twenty-five thousand second-grade Yuan Stones, Luo Feng had spent two hundred and thirty-seven thousand second-grade Yuan Stones today, a sum of wealth most True Yuan Realm martial artists would find hard to amass.

"How is it possible? How could he have so many Yuan Stones!"

Zhouyan fell back heavily into the beast skin soft chair, his face turning ashen. He had no extra Yuan Stones left.

In the end, the third-grade storage ring, the Washing Dragon Ring, went to Luo Feng for the price of one million and twelve thousand.

This surprised many, as the Washing Dragon Ring was of higher quality than the Five Elements Pills. It looked like Zhouyan was determined to get it. Many thought this bid might break today's record, but it was unexpected for everyone.

Soon, a graceful maid delivered the Washing Dragon Ring to the box.

After paying the Yuan Stones, Luo Feng received the Washing Dragon Ring.

The entire ring was jet black with faint flowing patterns on its surface, resembling a black river. In its center, a majestic black dragon flickered as if rising and falling within the black river, exuding an ancient and grand design.

"This ring suits you very well. Try it on, my husband," Yang Wanyi surveyed the Washing Dragon Ring and smiled.

Luo Feng put the ring on his hand. An ancient aura flowed through his fingers and merged with his Yuan Qi, giving him the sudden illusion of the ring becoming one with him.

His soul power probed within, revealing a spacious plaza in his mind, nearly a hundred meters wide and long. He couldn't help but think: Not bad, this space can hold ten houses. No more worries about lack of storage space in the future.

A stream of auction items was brought on stage. Two hours later, ten of the twelve treasures at the appraisal event had been auctioned off.

It was time for the eleventh appraisal item. Senior Diao cleared his throat and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, up next is the grand finale of this auction."

"The finale should be the Yan Body Break Mountain Power. As a profound-level top-tier cultivation technique, it certainly deserves to be the finale of the auction."

"Senior Diao, hurry and announce the price. How much is the Yan Body Break Mountain Power?" someone eagerly shouted.

"Indeed, I came here for the Yan Body Break Mountain Power."

The hall was in an uproar.

Hearing the commotion, Yang Wanyi smiled at Luo Feng, "Looks like the Yan Body Break Mountain Power will fetch a good price, hopefully surpassing the Five Elements Pills."

Luo Feng nodded, equally expectant. Having spent a lot of Yuan Stones this time, they hoped the Yan Body Break Mountain Power with the Thousand Fierce Ten Thousand Poison Liquor would make up for it.

Seeing the anticipation on everyone's faces, Senior Diao smiled slightly and suddenly looked toward Luo Feng's side and said:

"Yang Wanyi, I propose to auction the Yan Body Break Mountain Power together with the Thousand Fierce Ten Thousand Poison Liquor. What do you think?"

"Yan Body Break Mountain Power and Thousand Fierce Ten Thousand Poison Liquor together!"

Boom!

Upon hearing this, the entire Business Alliance Hall erupted.

The Yan Body Break Mountain Power is a profound-level top-tier tempering cultivation technique, while the Thousand Fierce Ten Thousand Poison Liquor holds unimaginable benefits for body-strengthening martial artists. Possessing either of them is a rare achievement for any body-strengthening martial artist, and auctioning both together would undoubtedly elevate anyone's strength to a new level.

The decision rendered everyone in a daze, and even some non-body-strengthening experts began to breathe rapidly.

"My husband, how about agreeing to this proposal? It should fetch a satisfactory price," Yang Wanyi looked at Luo Feng and suggested.

Luo Feng nodded, "Alright."

With Yan Body Break Mountain Power and Thousand Fierce Ten Thousand Poison Liquor being auctioned together, he eagerly anticipated how high the bid could go.

"Alright, we agree," Yang Wanyi replied to Senior Diao.

Senior Diao smiled, then began:

"Now, let's start the final auction of this event. Profound-level top-tier tempering cultivation technique Yan Body Break Mountain Power, along with sixth-grade spiritual medicine Thousand Fierce Ten Thousand Poison Liquor. There's no need to elaborate on the advantages of the profound-level cultivation technique. The Thousand Fierce Ten Thousand Poison Liquor is a secret brew of the Wild Tribe, capable of purging impurities from a martial artist's body and refining their physique, offering unimaginable benefits to body-strengthening martial artists. Rumor has it that the Thousand Fierce Ten Thousand Poison Liquor can help body-strengthening martial artists more easily reach the 'Spirit and Flesh Unity' realm."

"Starting bid for Yan Body Break Mountain Power and Thousand Fierce Ten Thousand Poison Liquor: two million second-grade Yuan Stones. Each subsequent increase must be no less than three thousand second-grade Yuan Stones. Interested parties, please place your bids."

Senior Diao's eyes flickered with excitement, and his tone was fervent.
