Inside the auction hall.
After the people from the Dan Pavilion were driven away by Mu Jinyu.
The atmosphere on site still seed tense and heavy, whether it was those sitting in chairs participating in the auction or the staff standing by, no one dared to speak.
Even their breathing beca careful, as if they were afraid of disturbing Mu Jinyu.
The host on stage, however, was quite adept at reading the room. Seeing that Mu Jinyu's anger had subsided considerably after Chu Xuan and others had left, and he had taken his seat again.
He waited a mont, and seeing Mu Jinyu's expression slowly becoming sowhat impatient, suddenly had an idea and quickly spoke up, "Lot number thirteen, the bid is thirty units of Spiritual dicine, thirty units for the first ti!"
He knew that Mu Jinyu was not planning to stay any longer and was ready to end this farce early.
And it seed that no one else present at the auction had both the capacity and the courage to continue bidding against Mu Jinyu, so he decided to settle things quickly and then start the auction for the Alchemy Furnace.
Suddenly, Mu Jinyu spoke coldly, "Who said it was thirty units?"
"Err?…"
The host was stunned by Mu Jinyu's words.
Then he thought, indeed!
The reason Mu Jinyu had bid up to thirty units of Spiritual dicine was entirely because the Dan Pavilion's people were competing with him, but now, those people from the Dan Pavilion had proven that they actually didn't even qualify to participate in the bidding.
Their earlier actions were simply provoking Mu Jinyu and maliciously bidding, which could not be counted at all.
"Err, so… twenty-two units of Spiritual dicine for the first ti?"
After coming to his senses, the host cautiously said.
This ti Mu Jinyu did not react.
The host then took a long breath of relief, knowing that he was accepting the price.
And he wasn't planning to create trouble, then force their auction house to compensate him with this Alchemy Technique!
Understanding Mu Jinyu's attitude, the host was no longer that tense, and continued to speak:
"Twenty-two units of Spiritual dicine for the second ti!"
"Twenty-two units of Spiritual dicine for the third ti!"
"Bang!"
The host smiled and said, "Congratulations to sir number thirteen, for successfully acquiring our finale ancient to at the price of twenty-two units of Spiritual dicine!"
"Clap clap clap!"
Loud applause suddenly filled the venue.
Although there were only a few dozen people on site, at that mont they produced the applause of hundreds.
They dared not give anything less than enthusiastic applause!
Moreover, since Mu Jinyu had ousted the people from the Dan Pavilion, this drama had indeed been spectacular, beyond their expectations, and worth such applause.
Backstage.
The Luo Family were watching, and although they felt a bit upset that the Alchemy Technique, which had originally reached thirty units of Third-level Top-grade Spiritual dicine, had fallen back to twenty-two units,
more than anything, they felt relieved.
Relieved that Mu Jinyu hadn't made a big scene, forcing them to compensate him with the Alchemy Technique!
And seeing Mu Jinyu oust the Dan Pavilion's people also felt extrely satisfying!
Even if it ant losing eight units of Third-level Top-grade Spiritual dicine, it didn't feel so hard to accept anymore.
Moreover, if it hadn't been for Mu Jinyu stepping in, they would only have ended up with those eight units of Spiritual dicine after letting the Dan Pavilion's people continue to bid.
No matter how one looked at it, the current situation was more advantageous!
In the auction hall.
With Mu Jinyu completing the transaction, obtaining the Alchemy Technique.
The auction was officially drawing to a close.
"The item now up for auction, is our grand finale piece, a legendary Alchemy Furnace, its na is 'Shennong Cauldron', with a starting bid of twenty units of Third-level Top-grade Spiritual dicine!"
The host spoke, and several dozen staff mbers then hoisted a gigantic furnace onto the stage, presenting it to the audience below.
This was the very Alchemy Furnace that had been discovered alongside the art of Alchemy.
The audience watching this spectacle couldn't help but find it sowhat comical.
This Alchemy Furnace, initially reserved by the people of Dan Pavilion as a re formality, now had no representatives from Dan Pavilion below. Thus, it had beco an item reserved by Mu Jinyu.
No one dared to bid against him!
Mu Jinyu watched as the furnace was laboriously carried onto the stage by a dozen strong n, and a touch of admiration flashed in his eyes.
It was indeed a very fine Alchemy Furnace.
If he knew the art of Alchemy but lacked an Alchemy Furnace, he estimated it would take at least three to five years to commission a suitable one from Huaxia's famous craftsn. Now, he had saved himself that step!
"Twenty-two Spiritual dicines!"
After glancing at the "Shennong Cauldron" a few tis, Mu Jinyu shouted his bid without hesitation.
No one responded.
The stagehand also knew the Shennong Cauldron would basically belong to Mu Jinyu, so he said nothing further, announcing, "Twenty-two Spiritual dicines for the first ti!"
"Twenty-two Spiritual dicines for the second ti!"
"Twenty-two Spiritual dicines for the third ti!"
"Bang!"
The host brought down the gavel, saying, "Congratulations to bidder number thirteen, for successfully purchasing the Shennong Cauldron at the price of twenty-two Spiritual dicines!"
"Clap clap clap!"
The audience began to applaud.
Mu Jinyu's face broke into a smile as he stood up, leading Wen Rou backstage to explain the situation and arrange for the transportation of the Shennong Cauldron to the base of Yinlong Mountain.
Yao Liangbi and Yao Bilian saw that Mu Jinyu and his company were preparing to leave, so they wanted to follow and offer their congratulations and farewells.
Fu Qiuyu noticed this and imdiately grabbed them, putting on a stern face and scolded, "Old Yao, what are you doing? You're planning to follow them?"
"Yes, Mr. Mu purchasing the art of Alchemy and the Alchemy Furnace is a good thing. By befriending him, we might have a chance to observe the art of Alchemy in the future," Yao Liangbi explained.
Fu Qiuyu scoffed, "Old Yao, you are really naively foolish. Do you really think he was impressive at the auction just now and that he can continue to be impressive?"
"Hm?" Yao Liangbi was stunned. "Alliance Hierarch, what are you implying?"
Fu Qiuyu said, "What do you think made the people from Dan Pavilion leave so easily just now?"
Yao Liangbi's expression faltered, and his heart leaped, speculating, "Their God Realm experts are already on their way?"
Fu Qiuyu scoffed coldly, "Of course. Do you not understand what the people of Dan Pavilion are like? How could they possibly hand over what they want so easily? That young man told them to get lost, and they left so openly because they believe they can ultimately get the Alchemy Furnace back in their hands, saving the Spiritual dicines they would have spent at the auction."
Before Yao Liangbi could respond, Yao Bilian hurriedly said, "Grandfather, should we go and warn Lord... Mr. Mu?"
She wasn't without resentnt towards Mu Jinyu, but she was worried about her grandfather potentially being affected by Mu Jinyu's Blood Curse Technique. If sothing were to happen to Mu Jinyu, and it implicated their Yao Family, what would they do? Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
Yao Liangbi shared her concerns, saying, "Hmm, let's go and remind Mr. Mu to leave quickly!"
"Foolish!"
Seeing their reactions, Fu Qiuyu was infuriated, saying, "I've told you so much because I want you to avoid seeking death. If you are intent on dying, you can go hang yourself, but don't do it in the na of our dicine Alliance or hang around that young fellow, bringing trouble upon our dicine Alliance!"
...
Mu Jinyu was unaware of the argunts taking place at the venue.
After providing the auction house managers with the address backstage, and arranging for Mu Hongchen's people to help with the transportation to avoid any mishaps, he headed towards the exit.
"Hmm?!"
As soon as he stepped out of the auction house, Mu Jinyu detected a hostile presence eyeing him.
With a sneer, he took Wen Rou by the hand and deliberately walked towards a secluded alleyway.
As they approached the enclosed end of the alley,
a sneering laugh suddenly erupted.
"Heh heh heh, lad, you're quite aware, aren't you? Coming here on your own to die. Hand over the art of Alchemy, the Shennong Cauldron, and those dozens of Spiritual dicines, and today, we'll leave your entire body intact!"
