"One million?"
When the white-clothed youth shouted out this price, the entire auction house went into an uproar. This price had clearly far exceeded the estimation of this "Spiritual Array Seed".
Their gazes shifted between the white-clothed youth and Mu Chen's group. When they saw the former's wolf-like gaze on Su Xuan and the other two girls, they understood what was going on.
Most of the people present had spent some time in the White Dragon Hillock. Naturally, they knew of White Dragon City's Young City Lord Bai Dong's lecherous nature. Over the years, who knew how many girls he'd defiled. From the looks of it, it was obvious that he'd taken a fancy to these three unfamiliar girls and was deliberately causing trouble.
Mu Chen's brows slightly furrowed. He never thought that what should've been a smooth auction would be disrupted by this guy. He didn't have a lot of money on hand. If they were to compete, he obviously wouldn't be able to compete.
When the white-clothed youth saw Mu Chen's frown, he grinned, looking completely like a hedonistic son of a wealthy family.
Su Ling 'er frowned. She was angered by the youth's complacent appearance. A mere Young City Lord of White Dragon City dared to put on an act in front of her.
"One million and five hundred thousand," Su Ling 'er coldly said.
The auction house once again burst into an uproar. Quite a number of people watched this scene with interest. From the looks of it, this delicate and pretty young lady was not someone to be trifled with.
The people from the Heavenly Dipper Sword Faction and the Earthen Way Sect turned their heads and looked at Mu Chen's group in astonishment. Shortly after, the middle-aged man from the Heavenly Dipper Sword Faction and the skinny old man from the Earthen Way Sect focused their gazes on Su Xuan, who was wearing a white dress.
From the looks of it, they'd clearly sensed her strength.
A trace of bewilderment flashed across their eyes. This girl was so young, but she was so strong?
These youngsters.
They weren't simple.
The white-clothed youth was also stunned. The surrounding people were looking at him with anticipation, which made his eyes darken. In White Dragon City, no one dared to go against him like this.
"Two million." He glanced at Su Ling 'er darkly.
He said.
"Two million five hundred thousand."
Su Ling 'er immediately increased the price. Her beautiful eyes were filled with ridicule. At this moment, the white-robed young man was put on the spot.
"You!" The white-clothed youth was furious. Just as he was about to shout, the grey-clothed elder pressed his shoulder.
"Young City Lord, there's no need to cause too much trouble. These people are not ordinary people. The girl in the white dress is very strong.
Even this old man couldn't defeat him.
Forget it this time.
Our goal isn't this' Spirit Array Seed '. Don't complicate matters, or else we won't be able to explain ourselves to the City Lord. "The grey-robed old man opened his turbid eyes.
He said.
The white-clothed young man's face turned green and red when he heard this.
He did not expect to lose face in front of so many people this time. However, he did not dare to ignore the old man's words. He could only nod and glare fiercely at Mu Chen's group before withdrawing his gaze.
"Hmph, a mere young master of the White Dragon City dares to be so arrogant in front of the young lady?" Su Ling 'er snorted when she saw that the young man in white was pushed back.
"That price is a bit high."
Mu Chen smiled helplessly. The information on the 'Spirit Array Seed' wasn't complete. Spending two million and five hundred thousand spirit coins to buy it was a bit wasteful.
"Who told him to have dirty eyes?"
Su Ling 'er pouted, then smiled. "I'll give you the Spirit Array Seed. I'm not a Spirit Array Master, so it's useless to me."
"Then many thanks. I don't have the money right now, but I'll pay you back later."
Mu Chen wasn't pretentious. He was interested in the Spirit Array Seed, but he felt like he owed her a favor this time.
Su Ling 'er rolled her eyes at him. "Who wants you to pay me back? We're companions now. It's only natural that we help each other."
"Ling 'er is right. This Spirit Array Seed isn't ordinary. If you can study it thoroughly, it might be of great help to us."
Su Xuan smiled gently. Her gentle smile moved the hearts of many around them. A girl like her was truly outstanding. No wonder even Bai Dong couldn't resist.
Mu Chen nodded with a smile, but didn't say anything else.
The auction continued. However, after the "Spiritual Array Seed", Mu Chen did not find anything else that moved his heart. This caused him to feel slightly disappointed. Furthermore, the three great forces in front of him did not bid for anything. They clearly had an extremely strong motive. Furthermore, from the looks of it, they should be aiming for something similar.
The auction gradually came to an end, while the atmosphere became increasingly fiery. On the auction stage, Bi Sheng's face was full of smiles. He glanced at the three large factions in front of him without anyone noticing. Soon after, he slowly took out an item from his sleeve.
When the item appeared, Mu Chen could feel the eyes of the people from the three great powers flash with light. Even the grey-robed elder, who'd been sitting motionlessly next to the white-clothed youth, stared intently at the item.
Mu Chen followed their gazes and saw a jade pillar about two inches long appear in Bi Sheng's hand. The pillar was engraved with the image of a soaring white dragon. The dragon coiled around the jade pillar, and a vague figure could be seen sitting cross-legged at the head of the dragon.
Buzz!
The moment this white dragon jade pillar appeared, a buzzing sound erupted from it. Amidst the dazzling light, a low and deep dragon roar resounded. An indescribable pressure rippled out like a wave of water.
That oppressive feeling quickly filled the entire auction house. Instantly, the faces of countless people paled as they felt the Spiritual Energy in their bodies stop circulating. That oppressive feeling made them feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.
"What's that?!"
"What a terrifying pressure!"
“”
Various cries of surprise rang out one after another. Everyone was somewhat shocked as they looked towards the White Dragon Jade Pillar. Was this the trump card of this auction?
"What's that?"
Su Ling 'er also looked over curiously. Finally, an item that surprised her had appeared in this auction.
"This Spiritual Energy pressure …" Su Xuan's beautiful eyes narrowed as she looked at the white jade dragon pillar. "I'm afraid it was left behind by a Sovereign expert."
"A Sovereign?!"
Hearing this, Mu Chen, Guo Xiong, and Li Qing's hearts trembled. An item left behind by a Sovereign?
Such a miraculous treasure actually appeared here?
"Hehe, everyone, this white jade dragon pillar was unearthed from the depths of the White Dragon Hillock some time ago. After our appraisal, it's very likely that this white jade dragon pillar was left behind by the White Dragon Sovereign, who fell in the White Dragon Hillock several hundred years ago." Bi Sheng carefully held the white jade dragon pillar with both hands.
"The White Dragon Sovereign?!"
The auction house was in an uproar. Countless eyes turned red. Everyone knew that although countless experts had fallen in the White Dragon Hillock, the most famous of them all was the White Dragon Sovereign. Back then, the White Dragon Sovereign was an extremely powerful existence in the entire Northern Heavens Continent. However, after his fall, no one had managed to obtain his inheritance. Had it finally been discovered?
An item left behind by a Sovereign expert was enough to make them go crazy.
"Recently, there have been strange occurrences in the depths of the White Dragon Hillock. I'm sure everyone knows that this is a sign that a Spirit Treasury is about to appear. Moreover, it coincides with the appearance of this white jade dragon pillar. Therefore, I'm afraid that this Spirit Treasury is most likely left behind by the White Dragon Sovereign."
Bi Sheng threw out another huge bomb, causing the atmosphere in the auction house to explode. Countless people's breaths grew heavy.
Naturally, the strange occurrences in the depths of the White Dragon Hillock had been noticed by many people. Although they knew that a Spirit Treasury was about to appear, most of them only treated it as an ordinary Spirit Treasury and didn't pay much attention to it. They only thought that if it appeared, they'd try to obtain the treasure. After all, Spirit Treasures had appeared in the White Dragon Hillock many times over the years, but most of them were ordinary Spirit Treasures. However, from the looks of it, this Spirit Treasury was most likely left behind by the White Dragon Sovereign. Didn't that mean it was a Sovereign Spirit Treasury?
A Spirit Treasury of that level was vastly different from an ordinary one. It was enough to cause a commotion in the White Dragon Hillock.
Hearing the commotion around them, Mu Chen and the rest looked at each other in dismay.
"Wasn't it supposed to be a Total Heaven Spirit Treasury?
How did it become a Sovereign Spirit Treasury? "Guo Xiong asked in astonishment.
Su Xuan furrowed her brows. "It seems that our information was wrong. This is going to be troublesome. If it was only a Total Heaven Spirit Treasury, then we should be able to smoothly obtain it. But if it's a Sovereign Spirit Treasury, then I'm afraid it'll attract a lot of experts. Even the three great factions will go all out to fight for it. When that happens, a great battle will be unavoidable."
Although they weren't weak, they were still a bit weak. It would be troublesome for the five of them to face off against these powerful local tyrants. Moreover, there were many powerful adventurer groups in the White Dragon Hillock. None of them were easy to deal with.
"It might not necessarily be a Sovereign Spirit Treasury, right?
Maybe that fatty just said that on purpose to get a high price, "Su Ling 'er muttered.
"That's possible."
Su Xuan nodded slightly, then raised her head to look at the White Dragon Jade Pillar on the auction stage. "Let's wait and see."
Guo Xiong and the others nodded. This was the only thing they could do for now.
Mu Chen also focused on the White Dragon Jade Pillar on the auction stage. When he saw the nervous gazes of the three great factions, he felt that Bi Sheng's information was most likely true. The Spirit Treasury that had appeared in the White Dragon Hillock this time might really have been left behind by the White Dragon Sovereign.
"There's going to be some twists and turns in this mission."
