C157 Humiliating the Lee Family
Wang Hao used the Golden Pupil to find Ling Wenyu's seat. He was in the third VIP room, separated from Wang Hao by two rooms.
Someone knocked on the door. Hu Hansan opened the door and saw a beautiful welcoming lady.
The lady bowed respectfully to the two of them and handed them a roster.
"Esteemed guests, this is the list of items for tonight's auction. Please take a look."
After the woman left, Wang Hao opened the roster and took a look. There were a total of ten items. There were Profound Artifacts, martial skills, and other precious treasures, but none of them could enter his eyes.
"Strange, why didn't the items that we were auctioning appear on the roster?"
Hearing Wang Hao's question, Hu Hansan explained, "Sir, I've heard that this Gilded Auction only auctioned thirteen treasures each time, and this roster only revealed the items from the first ten rounds."
"The items that we are auctioning start at three million. They are already qualified to enter the second three rounds."
Wang Hao became interested, "This means that there are two other items that are worth the same as the items we are auctioning. This is good. Otherwise, these ten pieces of scrap metal would be meaningless."
Hu Hansan blushed with shame. Among the items that were being auctioned tonight, the highest starting price was six hundred thousand spirit stones.
"Sir, you have indeed seen a lot of things. A treasure with a starting price of 600,000 spirit stones is nothing to you!"
Wang Hao said with a smile, "Do you have any interest in it?"
Hu Hansan smiled and was a little embarrassed.
"You do things for me. I have to give you some benefits, but it doesn't matter."
Hu Hansan was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Sir, I want this Profound Artifact."
Wang Hao glanced at the name list again. The Profound Artifact Hu Hansan was talking about was a Profound Rank Grade Three weapon. The starting price was 200,000 stones.
Wang Hao could use a lower price to buy a better and cheaper Profound Artifact for Hu Hansan. But he did not do that. He wanted Hu Hansan to follow him loyally. The big stick and carrot were indispensable.
"Just watch the bidding. I'll cultivate for a while. When the last three rounds start, shout to wake me up."
Hu Hansan quickly agreed. Wang Hao sat cross-legged on the ground and started circulating the Nine Dragon Spell.
Wang Hao had deliberately suppressed the abnormal phenomenon produced by the circulation of the Nine Dragon Spell, but it still scared Hu Hansan so much that his jaw almost dropped.
The natural Yuan energy crazily rushed into the room. Hu Hansan forcefully swallowed his saliva and exclaimed in his heart, "Sir is indeed worthy of being the son of a true wealthy family. I have never heard of such a powerful technique!"
The Essence Energy Undulation created by Wang Hao's cultivation was so powerful that even the people in the other nine VIP rooms noticed it. Ling Wenyu, who was in VIP room three, frowned.
He asked an elder beside him, "Elder Li, who is cultivating in the auction house?"
The old man who was called Elder Li by Ling Wenyu responded, "It should be someone in private room number six."
"In all these years, at most nine VIP rooms have been opened in the auction house. When did the tenth person in Ice Sealed City who is qualified to come to the second floor appear?"
"Old Li, go and investigate."
After Elder Lee left, he quickly returned, "Second young master, it's Hu Hansan from South City."
"Hu Hansan?" Ling Wenyu was stunned for a moment. "Why have I never heard of this name?"
Elder Lee explained, "Hu Hansan was originally a Hall Master from a low-class hall in South City. I don't know where he found a powerful man who unified all the powers in South City ten days ago."
"Is the powerful man he found called Xue Jian?"
"Second young master, that's right!"
Ling Wenyu's face revealed a trace of displeasure. There were four districts in Ice Sealed City, north, south, east and west. The east was the headquarters of Ling family. The two cities in the northwest had already surrendered to Ling family. Only South City thought that their forces were complicated and had yet to unify.
Previously, all the energy of Ling family was focused on weakening the Three Major Sects and destroying Snow Sword Sect. Ling Wenyu sent a housekeeper named Huang Hui to handle this matter. He didn't expect that Huang Hui's leg would be broken in South City.
Huang Hui told Ling Wenyu that it was done by a man named Xue Jian. Ling Wenyu didn't take it to heart at that time, but he didn't expect to see him here.
"Old Li, could it be that you have sensed the realm of Xue Jian?"
Elder Lee nodded, "He deliberately suppressed the energy waves produced by his cultivation, so I can't judge it too accurately. If I'm not wrong, his realm should be between the Profound Martial Stage Level Six to the seventh level."
Ling Wenyu sneered, "A seventh level Profound Martial Stage wants to dominate the Ice Sealed City? He has really underestimated the Ling family!"
Elder Lee said, "Second young master, after the auction, do you want me to make a trip to the South City?"
"Alright! It's time for the Ling family to unify the Ice Sealed City!"
...
The auction had begun. The appearance of every treasure would cause a commotion in the hall, and the sound of bidding could be heard without an end.
However, all of this had nothing to do with Wang Hao. At this moment, he was completely immersed in his cultivation. The foundation of his cultivation, which was caused by consuming the Experience Potion, had been completely resolved by Wang Hao!
"I can break through to the Earth Martial Stage now!"
Wang Hao was incomparably excited. The experience gained from comprehending the Sword Dao could finally be put to use.
Just as Wang Hao was about to complete his breakthrough, he suddenly gave up on this idea. Ling Wenyu was here. If he broke through now, he would definitely not be able to hide it from him.
"Earth Martial Stage martial artists are too eye-catching. Now is not the time for me to break through!"
Wang Hao suppressed his desire to break through and opened his eyes. He saw Hu Hansan holding the treasured saber on the roster with an excited expression.
"Did you take it?"
Hearing Wang Hao's voice, Hu Hansan hurriedly put away the excited expression on his face.
"Master, you woke up at the right time. It is the tenth auction now," ___ said.
Wang Hao walked to the window and looked at the hall on the first floor. He saw Fat Master, who had appraised the beast skin, holding a porcelain bottle and explaining excitedly.
"Dear guests, the small porcelain bottle in Fat Master's hand has an extraordinary item."
Fat Master deliberately kept them in suspense and immediately caused dissatisfaction among the people.
"Fat Master, tell me if you have anything good. I came to the auction this time, but I didn't spend a single primeval stone!"
"That's right! The name list says that the item for the tenth round of the auction is Medicine Pill. As long as this Medicine Pill is good enough, don't care how much money it costs, I'll buy it all! That's right! The name list says that the item for the tenth round of the auction is Medicine Pill. As long as this Medicine Pill is good enough, I'll buy it all!"
"Tsk, even if you want to buy it, you have to ask us for our opinions. Those who can sit here are people who don't lack money. Don't show off your meager primeval stones!"
...
Seeing that the guest's enthusiasm had been roused, Fat Master slowly announced, "The bottle is not filled with Medicine Pill, but a bottle of water."
"A bottle of water?"
Fat Master's explanation stunned everyone. Who would spend a lot of money to buy a bottle of water if they had nothing better to do?
Furthermore, it was clearly stated in the roster that the items for the tenth round were priced at 600,000 spirit stones!
Wang Hao was also a little surprised, "A bottle of water that is worth 600,000 spirit stones?"
Fat Master's appetite was whetted, "This bottle of water is very different from ordinary water."
As he spoke, Fat Master opened the bottle cap. He opened the bottle cap and looked down. The water immediately spilled out of the bottle, but what surprised everyone was that the water did not land on the ground, but instead floated in the air.
"Rootless water!"
Someone exclaimed in the hall. Everyone was shocked by what they heard.
"Rootless Water... the rootless Water that is said to be able to create the strongest soul armament?!"
"I heard that rootless Water is extremely light. It will never fall to the ground. This should be true!"
"No wonder a small bottle of water is worth six hundred thousand spirit stones. This Rootless Water is an extremely precious item, I want it!"
"You want it? You also need to see if the people on the second floor agree or not. Don't forget, from the auction onwards, the people on the second floor have not spoken."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent. 600,000 Primary Stones was already a very high price for them, but for the person on the second floor, it was only a small amount.
"Rootless Water, the starting bid is 600,000 Primary Stones!"
Right after Fat Master finished speaking, the first bid sounded from the second floor.
"1 million spirit stones!"
The people in the hall on the first floor took a deep breath. The first bid had already reached one million. They had completely lost the desire to compete.
"One million one hundred thousand Primary Stones."
The voice of the bid continued to ring from the second floor.
"One million three hundred thousand Primary Stones." A third voice was heard, "Everyone, the Lee family has been looking for the Rootless Water for a long time. If you are not in urgent need of it, please give us some face."
As soon as these words were spoken, no one else increased the bid. The Lee family's influence in Ice Sealed City was not weak, and they had a good relationship with the Ling family. Although the Rootless Water was a precious item, it was not so precious that it could save the Lee family's face.
Fat Master frowned slightly. The price of the Rootless Water was purposely lowered by the auction house, so that more people could participate in the auction and raise the price. The Lee family's way of doing things had broken the rules.
However, those who came were guests, let alone the people of the Lee family. Fat Master could only bear with it.
Although he didn't think that anyone would risk offending the Lee family and bid again, Fat Master still had enough time to announce the result.
Five breaths later, Fat Master felt some regret in his heart. He opened his mouth and prepared to announce the ownership of the rootless water.
At this moment, a voice suddenly resounded throughout the entire auction house.
"1.2 million stones!"
This voice startled everyone. Even Fat Master thought that he had misheard it.
"He really dares to ignore the Lee family?"
Fat Master hurriedly looked towards the source of the sound. The price was from private room number six.
"The guest in VIP room number six bid 1.2 million stones. Is there any higher bid? !”
In the entire auction house, only Fat Master's voice echoed. Everyone was staring at the VIP room where the Lee family was located.
After a long time, a voice finally broke the silence.
"Friend, your voice sounds a little unfamiliar to me."
Everyone knew that the representative of Lee family was furious. At the same time, they were also curious about which force was in the sixth box.
"The Hall Master of Black Tiger Hall, Hu Hansan too!"
After announcing his name, Hu Hansan felt his heart beating faster. He had never thought of giving face to the Lee family before today.
However, he had no choice but to do so. After the Rootless Water appeared, Wang Hao's facial expression changed!
Hu Hansan immediately understood that the master needed him!
Hu Hansan gritted his teeth, "The things that the Lord needs, even the Lee family must snatch them! In any case, we have already offended the Ling family. Plus the Lee family, what's the big deal!"
"Black Tiger Hall? Alright! I, the Lee family, will remember this!"
Hu Hansan threw caution to the wind, "So what if it's the Lee family?! This is an auction house, if you want rootless water, then you have to fight it out with your wallet! "
