"Six hundred million gold coins for the flower." Huang Xianyu decided to bid again because he didn’t want the Origin Elental Flower to fall into Xie Jun’s hands.
On the other hand, Liu Xun and Wang Jishan decided to give up on obtaining the Origin Elental Flower because the price was already too high, which was not worth the benefits.
Xue Jing thought for a mont before raising her bid for the Origin Elental Flower, mainly because she needed the flower to increase her ice elent level. "Six hundred and fifty million gold coins for the flower."
Xie Jun looked at the two won and snorted, but he then looked at Feng Shen, who was thinking about whether to increase his bid or not. "Hey, old man! You should get lost if you don’t have enough gold coins!"
"Hmm?" Feng Shen looked at Xie Jun without saying anything, but he inwardly laughed bitterly after Tang Xiao’s clone spoke to him via voice transmission. "One billion gold coins for the flower."
The atmosphere at the auction venue beca quiet as everyone turned their attention to Fang Shen, especially after he made his bid for the Origin Elental Flower. They knew the Feng Clan was quite wealthy, but they weren’t wealthy enough to buy an item worth one billion gold coins.
Like the other auction participants, Feng Xiaofang and Yan Huoling were shocked by Feng Shen’s bid for the Origin Elental Flower because he was bidding for Tang Xiao’s clone. The Tang Clan was a second-grade clan, so it was not wealthy enough to waste one billion gold coins, and he shouldn’t have that many.
Xuan Xi looked at Feng Shen in shock, but she was pleased in her heart because her auction house would gain a lot of profit if they succeeded in auctioning the Origin Elental Flower for one billion gold coins. ’The Feng Clan is indeed rich, but I think he has bid too high. Originally, I thought that the flower would sell for six hundred million gold coins maximum, but the price has now reached one billion.’
Feng Shen could only laugh in his heart as he saw the gazes of all the cultivators present at the auction, and he looked at Tang Xiao’s clone, who was sitting leisurely without any burden behind him. ’Where did this brat get so many gold coins? I’m sure he didn’t get them from Old Tang, and he must have gotten them from soone else.’
"Hey, what—"
"Do you doubt my ability to pay the price of that flower, Xie Jun?" Feng Shen narrowed his eyes at the male heretic. "If you can’t spend more than one billion gold coins, you can leave this place right now. I’m sure no one will bid for that interest again, and I can pay it in front of you if you want to know my financial capabilities."
Xuan Xi looked at the other cultivators, but Huang Xianyu, Xue Jing, and the others decided not to say anything and returned to their rooms. She saw that Xie Jun also didn’t say anything and didn’t bid higher for the Origin Elental Flower, so she imdiately announced the winner. "Sold for one billion gold coins to Senior Feng Shen."
A woman floated to the front of the VIP room and handed the Origin Elental Flower to Feng Shen, who paid one billion gold coins. Once again, everyone’s attention was drawn to his VIP room, and they wondered where he had obtained so many gold coins to buy a single item.
Xuan Xi imdiately took out the next item, which was a sword. "This is the Falling Rain Sword, and it’s ranked Unique. The starting price for this sword is fifty million gold coins, with the next bid being five million. Let’s begin."
The cultivators from the first-grade clans did not bid for the sword, but those from the second-grade clans scrambled to bid for it.

Feng Shen returned to the room and sat beside Tang Xiao’s clone, but he didn’t imdiately hand over the Origin Elental Flower to him, mainly because the senses of the cultivators present in the auction house were focused on their room.
Xie Shun, who was hiding outside the auction house, was also observing them with his senses. If Feng Shen handed the Origin Elental Flower to Tang Xiao’s clone, all the cultivators would think of snatching it from him, which would cause him a lot of trouble. "I’ll give the flower to you later when we’re far away from this auction house, so these people won’t chase after you to snatch it from you."
"I know." Tang Xiao’s clone was interested in the Falling Rain Sword, but he imdiately canceled his intention because he already had the Atropos Glory, which could transform into various types of weapons according to his wishes. Tang Yin and Xing Xing also have their own weapons, and there were various types of weapons with higher ranks in the treasure vault.
Feng Shen himself had seen the Atropos Glory when he accompanied Tang Xiao’s clone to train in the forest, and his weapon was superior to the Falling Rain Sword. It could change shape into various kinds of weapons, so he wasn’t surprised that he wasn’t interested in the sword.
The Falling Rain Sword was eventually sold to Xiao Luo of the Xiao Clan, and he purchased it for 80 million gold coins. Afterward, Xuan Xi auctioned off several other items, but Tang Xiao’s clone was not interested in them, and they were bought by people from the second-rate clans.
Ti passed quickly, and many items were sold at auction. Xuan Xi then took out a fruit with seven colors, which was the Seven Color Glazed Berry.
Tang Xiao’s clone rubbed his chin as he looked at the Seven Color Glazed Berry. ’What are the benefits of that fruit, Xiao Ai?’
[Master, I don’t have much information about the lower realms, and I couldn’t find any details regarding the Seven Color Glazed Berry in my database. However, the fruit seems to be useful for alchemy, so you can try to bid for the fruit if you want it, and we can find another solution to utilize the fruit.]
’Let’s wait for the price and the bidders first.’
[Alright.]
.
.
.
Huang Xianyu, who had been waiting for the fruit to appear, imdiately ran to the balcony. "What’s the auction price for the Seven Color Glazed Berry, Miss Xuan?"
"Senior Xianyu! The owner of this Seven Color Glazed Berry told that the starting price is one hundred million gold coins, and you can bid in incrents of ten million." Xuan Xi casually answered.
Huang Xianyu nodded in understanding. "I’ll bid one hundred and ten million gold coins for the fruit."
"Yes." Xuan Xi looked at the others. "Are there any other bidders for this Seven-Color Glazed Berry?"
"One hundred and twenty million gold coins." Huang Xianyu frowned and looked towards the Feng Clan’s VIP room, where Yan Huoling was already standing on the balcony in front of the room. "Xianyu, I also need this Seven-Color Glazed Berry to concoct my pill. Since no other cultivators are interested in this fruit, the two of us will compete for it."
Huang Xianyu clenched her fists as she stared at Yan Huoling, but competition with the Feng Clan for the Seven-Color Glazed Berry was inevitable, especially since both clans focused on alchemy. "One hundred and thirty million gold coins."
"One hundred and forty million gold coins."
"One hundred and fifty million gold coins."
.
.
.
Inside the room, Tang Xiao’s clone laughed as he listened to the two won continue to raise their price, but they raised it by ten million gold coins. "The auction for the fruit looks like it’s going to take a long ti to determine the winner, Senior Feng."
"Hahaha." Feng Shen laughed and looked at the two won. "You may not have heard of them, but all cultivators on Earth II know that Huang Xianyu and Yan Huoling have disliked each other since they were very young, and their relationship only worsened after their master chose the forr as his successor."
Tang Xiao’s clone turned to him. "What happened between them in the past?"
"Haish." Feng Shen exhaled softly. "They actually learned alchemy from the sa master, and they were both equally talented in that field. Unfortunately, Yan Huoling ca from the second-grade Yan Clan, so their master prioritized Huang Xianyu because her Huang Clan was a first-grade clan, and they were one of the strongest clans in this place. Their master had a favorable relationship with Huang Tianming, so he focused more on his daughter, and he taught her more than Huoling."
Tang Xiao’s clone could only shake his head. "Both ordinary humans and cultivators are the sa, and they both need connections to secure their future."
"Isn’t that as it should be?" Feng Shen looked at the two won who were still continuing to increase their bid for the Seven-Color Glazed Berry. "Fortunately, Yan Huoling t Feng Xiaofang and married him, and their marriage raised the status of the Yan Clan. Although they didn’t imdiately beco a first-grade clan, their conditions beca much better than in the past. Moreover, they are both skilled alchemists, and they have been of trendous help to both clans’ continued rise. Besides, Huang Xianyu married a non-alchemist, and her husband was busier with his personal affairs and cultivation."
Tang Xiao’s clone nodded in understanding and asked another question. "What about Feng Yao? Is she also a skilled alchemist like her parents?"
