The Morning Light Business League's auction was jointly organized by all the branches of the Morning Light Business League in the Dongling Region.
The Morning Light Business League's branch managed by Zhao Tianfang was obviously one of them.
Because of the Thunderflame Battle Physique, Long Chen was a little afraid of them. However, with Liu Lan supporting him, he had nothing to be afraid of.
Even if the sky collapsed, the Lingwu family would be there to hold it up.
The scale of the auction was extremely huge. Over ten thousand people had gathered in the huge plaza. In the middle of the plaza, there was a platform with lights converging on it. The platform's floor was completely made of Godly Jade. It was obvious how great the Morning Light Business League was.
On the plaza, there were close to two hundred private rooms. Long Chen and Liu Lan were currently in one of them. Although the room wasn't big, it was extremely exquisite.
With Liu Lan's status, it was very normal for her to be able to get a private room like this.
This woman, who was rumored to be his woman, was in such a narrow space with him. The alluring fragrance from her body continuously flowed into Long Chen's nose, causing him to feel a little uncomfortable.
If it wasn't for the previous incident, he might have enjoyed it very much. However, at this moment, a large part of his heart was filled with hatred and anger towards Liu Lan. This caused him to lose interest in the beautiful woman beside him.
His unnatural behavior made Liu Lan think that he was restless.
"What's the rush …"
Liu Lan looked at her with interest. She then stretched her body. Under the thin black veil, there was a faint luster of flesh, which was extremely alluring.
"If you can achieve the goal that I've set for you, everything I have will be yours, hehe …"
She laughed hysterically. Long Chen, who had transformed into Liu Xiahui, turned his head and looked at the platform in the middle of the plaza. At this moment, this place was the brightest in the entire place, and it was also the focus of the auction.
At this moment, a beautiful woman walked to the center of the platform. Her beautiful eyes scanned the surroundings, before her alluring voice slowly sounded out.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Morning Light Business League. We've been preparing for this auction for nearly two months. We've prepared all sorts of rare items that will definitely satisfy you. I hereby announce the official start of this auction!"
"The rules of the auction are, of course, to the highest bidder. However, if you are able to provide an item of equal value, the Morning Light Business League welcomes it very much. However, the exact price of the item will still be determined by the Morning Light Business League."
Although her strength was not high, her mental fortitude was very strong. Her voice was sweet and pleasant, giving people a very comfortable enjoyment. She was indeed the most suitable person to host this kind of auction.
Liu Lan originally wanted to tease Long Chen a little to liven up the atmosphere. However, Long Chen didn't know how to respond to her. She directly looked down and said, "This time around, I'm here to find something for you to rely on to participate in the selection. If there's anything you like, feel free to tell me."
"I have my own money, there's no need for you to worry."
Long Chen was still thinking of teaching Liu Lan an unforgettable lesson in the future. If he were to use her money now, he wouldn't be able to live with himself if he were to make a move on her in the future.
Although he was sitting together with Liu Lan and could even occasionally exchange a few ambiguous words, that was only because he wasn't Liu Lan's opponent. Last time, Liu Lan had used him like that. If he had the capital, the first person he would beat up would be her.
Liu Lan was slightly surprised that Long Chen said such unyielding words. However, she was very clear about Long Chen's background. For Long Chen to say such words in front of her, it was unavoidable that it was a little ridiculous.
"I'm not in the mood to fight with you. I came here especially for you. Don't think too much about it. At the very least, in the eyes of outsiders, you're my man. If you lose too miserably, I won't have the face to see others. I'm only paying for you to protect my own face." Liu Lan said.
"I've said it before. If I want something, I will obtain it myself." Long Chen's tone was indifferent.
Seeing that Long Chen didn't know what was good for him, Liu Lan felt a little unhappy in her heart. However, she was indeed the one who went overboard first. Hence, she could only ridicule him, "You're really good at bragging. In an auction of this level, I really want to see how you can obtain it yourself."
She was very clear about how much money Long Chen had in his pockets. This was the highest level auction in the entire Eastern Spirit Region. The starting bid of the items here was more or less a thousand Divine Jades.
If Long Chen had this much wealth, the sun would probably rise from the west.
As they conversed, time slowly passed. In the blink of an eye, two items had already been auctioned. The first item was a mid-grade Profound Ranked Divine Weapon. It was won by someone for a high price of fifty thousand Divine Jades. The second item was also sold for a high price of thirty thousand Divine Jades.
The first items of this auction were all expensive. Long Chen knew about this rule.
The wealth of an early-stage Earth Core warrior was usually around a hundred thousand Divine Jades. Any random item in this auction could make an early-stage Earth Core warrior go bankrupt.
This was also the reason why Liu Lan was so sure that Long Chen was just bragging.
"Don't you dare make false bids. If you don't have enough money, you won't be able to walk out of this Morning Light Business League. Although this is just a branch of the Morning Light Business League, there are many Heavenly Core warriors here. If that happens, I won't be able to save you."
Seeing that Long Chen was still being stubborn and didn't want to admit defeat, Liu Lan decided to tell him this.
Long Chen just stared at the scene of the auction, he didn't answer her.
Looking at Long Chen's stubborn expression, Liu Lan shook her head and thought to herself, "This guy is so childish. He's already grown up, but he's still being angry with me. The reason I came here is to get something for him. If I keep being angry with him, I'll have come here for nothing. I need to think of a way."
After a while, Liu Lan's eyes lit up. She asked, "Long Chen, how many contribution points do you have now?"
"361, why?"
Long Chen didn't understand why this guy suddenly asked such a question.
"I don't want to be angry with you. If you want to get something good for yourself, I won't force you. But, I know exactly how many Divine Jades you have in your pocket. How about this, you use one contribution point to exchange for ten Divine Jades, and I'll give you four thousand Divine Jades in total. What do you think?"
This way, he wouldn't be living off her, and Long Chen could accept it. Therefore, he nodded his head.
In the end, after seeing the first few items, Long Chen felt that something good would appear here. It was the key to him participating in the inner clan selection, and it would be best if he could obtain it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the next item is the Seven-Colored Glazed Iron. Compared to ordinary Glazed Iron, the quality of this iron is ten times better.
If there's a blacksmith forging it, it'll basically be able to forge at least two mid-grade Profound Rank weapons. If the blacksmith is skilled enough, forging a high-grade Profound Rank weapon isn't impossible!
The starting price is ten thousand Divine Jades!
Each increment must be no less than five hundred Divine Jades! "
Under the instigation of the beautiful woman, a small explosion broke out in this auction.
"I bid twelve thousand Divine Jades!"
"I bid thirteen thousand Divine Jades!"
"Fifteen thousand Divine Jades!"
"Twenty thousand Divine Jades!"
Because the Seven-Colored Glazed Iron was extremely precious, it could even be used to forge a high-grade Profound Rank weapon. Therefore, the auction was extremely heated, and the price kept rising. Soon, it was close to sixty thousand Divine Jades.
Long Chen wasn't interested in this item. However, during the bidding, Liu Lan noticed a familiar person in the private room next to him. This person also participated in the bidding, and he was quite generous. Each increment was a few thousand Divine Jades. Finally, the Seven-Colored Glazed Iron was bought by him for seventy thousand Divine Jades.
"It's him?
I didn't expect him to come to this auction. "Liu Lan was a little surprised when she heard his voice.
"Who is it?" Long Chen asked.
"The first seed of the inner clan selection, the guy who's now known as the top genius of the outer clan, Jin Sheng En from the Jin Clan.
I've seen him fight before, and he's indeed extraordinary. I'm sure his real combat strength has reached the Advanced Earth Core realm. "
"Jin Sheng En, Advanced Earth Core realm?"
Long Chen was speechless. This kid was too heaven-defying.
Long Chen had always been improving, but he also understood that there would always be someone better than him.
In his eyes, Chu Yunxi was already a genius that was hard to reach, and this Jin Sheng En was even more terrifying.
His combat strength was already equivalent to the Advanced Earth Core realm.
"Do you know what's so special about him?" Long Chen was very curious about this.
It was because he had the Dragon Soul Transformation and the Thunder Flame Battle Body that he was able to kill people who were stronger than him.
"The most talented thing about Jin Sheng En is that he has successfully cultivated a high-grade Profound Rank body tempering skill – Golden Battle Body!
The Golden Battle Body is the best body tempering skill of the Jin Clan. Currently, not many people in the Jin Clan have successfully cultivated it, and Jin Sheng En is only at the Initial Earth Core realm. Don't you think it's amazing? "
Long Chen's current trump card was that he was stronger than ordinary people, and this Jin Sheng En had actually cultivated a high-grade Profound Rank body tempering skill, which was more powerful than Long Chen. In terms of True Qi, he was even more powerful than Long Chen.
After listening to Liu Lan's description, and remembering that this monster was right beside him, Long Chen was completely convinced.
"What's wrong? Now you know how cruel the inner clan selection is, right?"
Liu Lan looked at him, her eyes filled with pride.
"It's still too early to say who will be the winner."
Long Chen knew that no matter what, for Yang Lingqing, for himself, he could not be afraid. No matter how strong the enemy was, he had to endure it and fight again!
"Hehe …" Liu Lan covered her mouth and laughed. "Stop bragging. Let me tell you one more thing, this Jin Sheng En and Chu Yunxi are good brothers. If you meet him, even if you don't die, you'll probably lose a layer of skin …"
Long Chen's forehead was filled with black lines.
"What's wrong with this world?
Why are all the geniuses grouped together? I've only offended one, but I've already offended a few others?
And each one is stronger than the last? "
Apart from speechlessness, there was nothing else he could say.
Liu Lan had said this because she wanted Long Chen to understand the difficulty of the selection, so that he would listen to her obediently and she would pay for it. Now that she had gotten what she wanted, she was in a good mood.
"Next, I'll announce the next auction item. It's the Thunder Flame Crystal!"
