Hearing the white-robed elder’s words, the middle-aged man referred to as Junior Brother Yao immediately nodded in agreement.
“Indeed, the Xu family’s behavior is too unsightly.
As a dignified Soul Formation family, they still engage in these disgraceful acts, shaming all of us in the Soul Formation Holy Lands.”
As he spoke, a playful smirk appeared on Junior Brother Yao’s face.
“This time, I’m really curious to see how that young Xu family member will handle the situation.”
Meanwhile, the Xu family cultivator on the auction stage, left with no choice, reluctantly turned his gaze towards the hooked-nose man.
Torn between being suspected of collusion and disobeying his family ancestor’s instructions, he chose the latter.
The hooked-nose man quickly understood the Xu family cultivator’s silent message.
As soon as he caught the Xu family cultivator’s glance, he turned his gaze towards Jiang Chengxuan’s group, his face showing a cold sneer.
He suddenly said, “I’m determined to get this item. I’ll bid 1.1 million high-grade spirit stones!”
Although his words did not contain explicit threats, everyone present was no fool.
They could clearly hear the underlying message: whoever dares to compete with him for the Refinement Stone would face a relentless feud.
Unfortunately for him, both Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan seemed to take his words as mere bluster.
At this moment, not even the ancestor of the Xu family Holy Land would be able to take back the Mystic Color Stone they had put up for auction.
Jiang Chengxuan, with an air of nonchalance, slowly raised five fingers towards the stage.
“Five hundred million top-grade spirit stones!”
BOOM!
The entire auction hall was now truly abuzz.
Spending five billion spirit stones on an unknown Refinement Stone seemed incredibly wasteful.
Even the white-robed elder and Junior Brother Yao in the private booth were taken aback.
“Interesting.”
The white-robed elder said with a smile on his face.
“I wonder which family he belongs to. But this time, the Xu family is really in trouble.”
Indeed.
At this moment, the Xu family cultivator could no longer maintain his composure. His expression was extremely ugly.
However, on such an occasion, he had no choice but to try his best to suppress his emotions.
He turned his head towards the hooked-nose man, his eyes clearly signaling him to continue bidding.
The hooked-nose man felt a chill down his spine.
What was going on with the guy who was bidding against him?
At this point, couldn’t he tell?
He was really going to offend the Xu family.
“Six… six hundred million top-grade spirit stones.”
Left with no choice, the hooked-nose man had to keep bidding against his will.
“One hundred million top-grade spirit stones!”
However, what changed the expressions of both the hooked-nose man and the Xu family cultivator was Jiang Chengxuan’s continued calm bidding.
It was as if what he was shouting now was not 10 million high-grade spirit stones that were comparable to a billion spirit stones, but only 1,000 ordinary spirit stones.
This made the hooked-nose man hesitant to continue this dangerous game.
Fortunately, at this moment, a voice transmission entered the ears of him and the Xu family cultivators on the auction stage.
It made their tense nerves instantly relax.
In a luxurious private room, a young man full of arrogance suddenly smashed a jade cup in his hand.
This person, Xu Hailong, was the leader of the Xu family’s delegation and a peak Nascent Soul cultivator.
In addition, he also had an identity that made all the Xu family members envious.
He was a direct descendant of the Xu family’s ancestor, though separated by many generations.
His exceptional talent in cultivation had earned him the special attention and nurturing of the ancestor himself.
When he was at Foundation Establishment, his ancestor valued him and brought him along to nurture him.
Now, Xu Hailong had become the leader of the new generation of the Xu family.
The transmission message to the hooked-nose man and the Xu family cultivator came from Xu Hailong.
Now, with a cold and furious expression, he turned to an elder beside him and ordered sharply, “Find out the identities of those people! Unless they plan to stay in Moonlight City for the rest of their lives, I want them dead in the streets the moment they leave!”
“Yes!”
Hearing Xu Hailong’s order, the old man immediately bowed and accepted the order. Soon, his figure disappeared from the private room.
Simultaneously, at the auction site, Jiang Chengxuan finally acquired the Mystic Color Stone after no further bids were placed.
Despite the Xu family’s notorious disregard for rules, they were not so bold as to blatantly break auction rules in front of so many witnesses, especially those from the other three holy lands.
The other three holy lands would definitely not allow them to do that.
Holding the Mystic Color Stone, Jiang Chengxuan felt a sense of anticipation.
Although he knew it was unlikely, the appearance of the Mystic Color Stone gave him hope that the Celestial Flight Crystal might also show up. After all, there is no harm in hoping.
