Sun Na’s eyes wandered the quiet audience. She knew many would find her words boastful or perhaps total nonsense.
But she did not care. That was the truth.
The Thousand Wealth Chamber was growing at an alarming rate that these arrogant and self-entitled people would not be able to fathom.
Thus, today’s auction was just to tell the world. Unlike any other chamber, they were different.
She cleared her throat and continued. "For today’s auction, we’re only going to sell one item."
What!
Everyone was stunned.
Just one item?
That’s ridiculous!
Instantly, low chatters erupted in the room as everyone voiced their annoyance.
Why would they make such a huge fanfare if they were going to auction one item?
This is nonsense!
Did the chamber take them for fools, wasting their ti?
The Governor mansion’s chief maid creased her brow, and a slow frown crept up her face. Even without speaking, everyone could see the dissatisfaction on her face.
She ca to represent the Governor, yet the chamber was taking her for a joke.
If this was not blatant disrespect, what was it?
"Woman, did you make a mistake or what?" an elder from the Nine Mountain Sect shouted.
"Are you playing with us? I don’t care which hidden power you ca from. I won’t allow anyone to look down on my sect."
Everyone nodded and an elder from the Artifact Refining Hall added. "This is nonsense. We should have destroyed the chamber in the first place. They have nothing to offer."
"They are frauds. This so-called legendary artifact is just a ruse to get our attention," the He clan master mocked.
On the podium, Sun Na watched and listened to the negative comnts without any change in her expression.
After a minute, she asked coldly, "Are you done?"
Silence!
Everyone was stunned at her bold question. This was the first ti they’d witnessed such an overbearing auctioneer.
Many auction houses would try their best to get on their good side just to get a portion of their wealth.
But the auctioneer and the Thousand Wealth Chamber didn’t seem to regard them at all. It was as if their wealth ant nothing to them.
"How dare you talk to us like that?" the Nine Mountain Sect elder shouted, getting on his feet as a powerful aura emanated from his body.
"Do you want your chamber to be destroyed?"
Others might fear the two Peak Core Refining warriors, but he did not.
He only needed to send a ssage to the sect, and the sect would send a Half-Step Golden Core realm expert to turn this place into a ruin.
Feeling his aura, the various leaders had a thoughtful expression as they looked at Sun Na.
"This is getting interesting," the Golden Pavilion leader smiled.
The Artifact Refining Hall and other occupation halls gloated at her and the Thousand Wealth Chamber’s misfortune.
The powerful clan masters were quiet, looking at how things unfolded.
The Jade River Exchange elder did not have any change in his expression. As for the Broken Moon Consortium, slight confusion etched on their face.
"Miss, can you understand what is going on?" a middle-aged woman asked through voice transmission.
"I don’t know. But we’re about to find out," the Young Miss responded, her gaze on the calm and indifferent auctioneer.
Since the auctioneer mounted the podium, her every action was pride and provocation.
Why would she do that?
Did she believe their chamber was powerful enough to go against all these powerful forces in the room?
She couldn’t wrap her head around her stupid actions.
On the podium, Sun Na looked at the Nine Mountain Sect elder and sneered. "I guess the Nine Mountain Sect does not want to partake in this auction."
"Is there anyone who wants to follow the Nine Mountain Sect? You can join now and be blacklisted from our chamber."
Her voice was not loud, but they could feel her confidence. This was not baseless confidence—it stemd from sothing powerful.
Everyone held their breath, and deafening silence perated the air. Even though they were provoked, their curiosity got the better of them.
They all wanted to see this legendary item that gave this ordinary chamber the confidence to go against them.
"Do you—"
"Since no one wants to join the Nine Mountain Sect," Sun Na interrupted the Nine Mountain Sect elder.
"Now, let’s continue."
"You!"
All the Nine Mountain Sect elders and disciples were furious. This was the first ti they were being looked down on in the Southern Region.
"Please don’t disturb the auction. You’ve been blacklisted, and if you can’t accept that, you can leave," Sun Na said sharply.
Listening to her words, everyone realized she was not joking. Their chamber had really blacklisted the Nine Mountain Sect.
Huh!
The impact of the implication was too great. This was the Nine Mountain Sect—a force that had ruled the region for centuries.
This was unprecedented.
While the audience was grappling with the reality of what had just happened, Sun Na continued as if it were nothing.
"As I said, we’re only auctioning one item but with different grades: the Common Grade, the Standard Grade, and the Noble Grade."
"Now, let tell you about the artifact," she said. Her words captured everyone’s attention.
Even the Nine Mountain Sect, who were boiling and ready to turn the chamber upside down, were quiet.
"I introduce to you the Lightning Wind Carriage," she announced.
Beside the auction room, a massive door was opened, and a massive carriage rode in.
The auction room was quiet and heavy. All eyes were on the two beasts pulling the carriage. These were no ordinary beasts; they were Tier-3 beasts.
What was a Tier-3 beast? It ant they were equivalent to Golden Core experts.
How is this possible?
How could they ta two Tier-3 beasts?
Everyone already knew the answer. To ta a Tier-3 beast, you need a powerful Golden Core expert to subdue them.
Huh!
The realization sent a cold shiver down their spine. Now, everyone realized why the Thousand Wealth Chamber did not give them face.
With such an expert, why would they bootlick them?
Apart from that, these beasts could aid them in battle. How powerful would they be?
Silence!
Everyone held their breath, their hearts pounding heavily against their chests.
The Nine Mountain Sect elders and disciples were quiet as they slowly took their seats.
Feeling their shock and trepidation, Sun Na smiled and deepened with pride. This was the tip of the iceberg.
Clearing her throat, she brought the stunned audience out of their shock.
"I wouldn’t talk more about the beasts as for those that do not know. These beasts are Jade Fang Lizards. Apart from their speed, which only a few beasts could rival, they are known for their terrain adaptiveness."
"They could adapt to any terrain, making them versatile. But that is just the beginning..." she said slowly, but everyone was listening with rapt attention.
All their previous haughtiness and mockery had vanished into thin air.
"We wouldn’t call this a rare artifact if it only depended on the Jade Fang Lizards. Let’s talk about the artifact—the carriage," she pointed at the carriage made from precious wood.
"The carriage is unlike any other carriage you’ve ever seen. Riding the carriage, you won’t feel any discomfort from long traveling."
"Our refiner has developed a special artifact that absorbs all the shock from the road. You won’t feel any discomfort whatsoever."
"Apart from that, inside was laid with complicated runes where you can adjust the carriage’s temperature. You can make it extrely cold or hot based on your preference."
"For those that love to cultivate, there is a special room with a Spirit Gathering Array and Spirit Resonance Array."
"Many might know the Spirit Resonance Array. Let explain much better. With the Spirit Resonance Array, it will assist your cultivation technique’s circulation.
For example, if you only complete one circulation in five minutes, with the Spirit Resonance Array, you will do it in half that ti."
Everyone inside the room was stunned. Their eyes widened as they couldn’t believe their ears.
A formation that could halve their cultivation ti?
They found it impossible to believe, but looking at the long carriage, their hearts raced.
This is what they need.
"Impressive, right?" Sun Na asked with a prideful smile. "But that’s not all."
"Let’s talk about security. The carriage is covered in a defensive rune. The defensive rune can defend against the attack of any interdiate Core Refining warrior as if it were nothing."
"To break the shield, it will take three attacks from a Peak Core Refining warrior. But here is the fun..."
Everyone looked at her, their breath quickened. This was beyond anything they’d ever seen.
"Can a Peak Core Refining warrior’s speed match a Tier-3 beast’s speed?" she asked.
Everyone knew the answer. How could a Peak Core Refining warrior match Tier-3 speed? It’s impossible.
"As you know, it is impossible. Therefore, when you’re inside this carriage, only a Golden Core expert could ever think of attacking you."
"Inside the carriage, the seat can unfold into a makeshift bed for a long journey. With the carriage, you can move through the continent without any worry of bandits or attacks while also enjoying yourself."
"So, are you ready for the bidding?" A bright smile crept up her lips. "Rember, this is just the Common Grade."
Common Grade!
Heavens!
If this was the lowest grade, what about the two other grades?
Now, they all understood why the chamber was confident these were rare artifacts which had never appeared in the region before.
With the Jade Fang Lizard alone, they would have emptied their pockets to buy it.
Adding the various abilities of the carriage, the carriage was so powerful that anyone below the Golden Core realm would not want to miss it.
"The starting price is one hundred million middle-grade spirit stones and an increased bid by ten thousand."
"Bidding starts!"
