Chapter 2377: Chapter 2381: Approaching Fan Buzhuo
The auction hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone turned to look at Jiang Chen.
Indeed, this kid is just at the mid Divine Infant Realm, and there doesn’t seem to be any strong person with him. Can he really produce two million Inferior Spirit Stones?
Jiang Chen glanced behind Tan Ming. Behind Tan Ming stood an elder with a sinister expression, staring intently at Jiang Chen.
"Whether I’m bidding randomly is none of your concern, sir. If you want to continue bidding, then do so, otherwise, keep your mouth shut and don’t disrupt the order of the auction!"
Jiang Chen gave the elder a faint glance, then turned to Zhang Qiushan.
"What an arrogant young man!"
The sinister elder spoke coldly, glaring at Jiang Chen and then turning to Zhang Qiushan: "President Zhang, I request to have his spirit stones checked to prevent any disorder from random bidding."
Zhang Qiushan was slightly taken aback. Such a request was reasonable, though few people actually made it as it often offended others. Clearly, Jiang Chen’s mid Divine Infant Realm strength wasn’t particularly intimidating.
Whoosh!
Before Zhang Qiushan could speak, a dazzling white glow appeared above Jiang Chen, where there were over a million Inferior Spirit Stones and over a thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones, totaling exactly two million Inferior Spirit Stones.
"Wow, who is this kid?"
"Is he from a major power? How does he carry so many spirit stones with him?"
"A mere mid Divine Infant Realm dares to carry so many spirit stones on him, isn’t he afraid of being robbed?"
"Truly bold!"
The dazzling glow of the spirit stones caused the crowd to gasp in amazement.
Such a large fortune appearing in the hands of a mid Divine Infant Realm cultivator was indeed shocking.
Some people glanced at the large number of spirit stones above Jiang Chen’s head with a flicker of greed in their eyes. However, as Jiang Chen took out the spirit stones, two faint pressures enveloped the whole venue, making those with ulterior motives give up on the idea of robbery. Still, Jiang Chen’s appearance was imprinted deeply in their minds.
The person who could produce so many spirit stones for the auction must have many treasures in his space ring as well, right?
"Young man, may I ask for your name?"
Tan Ming twitched the corner of his eye, clasping his fists towards Jiang Chen, clearly taking him for a young heir of a prominent family out for training.
"President Zhang, is there a need to register for the auction?"
Jiang Chen ignored Tan Ming and asked Zhang Qiushan instead.
"Of course not."
Zhang Qiushan smiled faintly and softly called out, "This young man has bid two million, are there any higher offers?"
Hearing this, Tan Ming hesitated. His goal, like Mu Wanqiu, wasn’t this Five Elements Emperor Slayer Array. However, seeing such a battle array before him and unable to obtain it, he felt somewhat unwilling.
"Two million one hundred thousand!"
At this moment, a voice rang out.
The crowd was startled, turning to look. Who dared to bid at this time?
At this moment, the door of room number one was also opened, and a bewitching woman stood at the doorway.
"It’s the White Fox Fairy from the Fox Immortal Sect!"
"Indeed, someone from the Fox Immortal Sect is making a move. That’s the top sect in the Qinghe Realm, second only to the Domain Lord’s Mansion. I didn’t expect them to come!"
"I heard the White Fox Fairy of the Fox Immortal Sect is a War Array Master. It seems she is bidding for herself!"
"The Fox Immortal Sect is involved. That Divine Infant kid should back off now, right? After all, the Fox Immortal Sect is not the same as the Qingwang Residence; this is a top local sect with a Saint within!"
The appearance of that enchanting woman instantly ignited the atmosphere in the venue, with countless hot gazes fixed on her, unable to look away.
The woman wore a nearly transparent gauze dress, her voluptuous figure faintly visible, her chest pushing the gauze upwards, with an exquisite face adorned with infinite allure, giving off a captivating and enthralling vibe.
With the White Fox Fairy’s bid, Tan Ming fell silent, not wanting to provoke the Fox Immortal Sect.
Jiang Chen’s expression changed slightly, frowning gently as he gave the White Fox Fairy a glance, retracting the spirit stones above and rising to walk towards Fan Buzhuo and Mu Wanqiu. He was making more enemies by the day and needed some protective power.
The crowd watched Jiang Chen’s actions, eager to see what he intended to do.
"Two million two hundred thousand."
As he walked, Jiang Chen placed another bid.
"He’s bidding again!"
"Wow, even with the White Fox Fairy stepping in, he dares to bid?"
"This guy is incredibly audacious, but what’s he planning to do?"
"Is he looking to ally with Mu Wanqiu’s group?"
Seeing Jiang Chen approach Fan Buzhuo and Mu Wanqiu, the crowd began speculating.
"Hee hee hee, young man, I’m a War Array Master. Can’t you let me have this?"
A refreshing laugh sounded as the White Fox Fairy threw a flirtatious glance at Jiang Chen.
This glance caused the hearts of those watching her to race.
"I apologize!"
Jiang Chen clasped his fists towards the White Fox Fairy.
The White Fox Fairy was slightly stunned, with an unexpected look in her eyes, clearly not anticipating Jiang Chen would refuse her so bluntly.
Tan Ming smirked smugly at the corner of his mouth. Kid, daring to offend the Fox Immortal Sect in the Qinghe Realm, you’re unbelievably bold. I’ll be waiting to see how you meet your end!
"Then I guess I’ll have to contend with you, young man."
The White Fox Fairy was not annoyed, lightly laughing as she called out, "Two million three hundred thousand."
"The White Fox Fairy has bid again!"
"Does the boy dare to bid again? If he does, he’ll truly offend the Fox Immortal Sect!"
"The White Fox Fairy is beautiful and kind. She might not hold it against him!"
"That’s not certain. Don’t underestimate how much a War Array Master values battle arrays and diagrams!"
The crowd once again murmured amongst themselves in low voices.
"Two million four hundred thousand!"
A voice shouted as Jiang Chen placed another bid.
After bidding, Jiang Chen turned and looked at Fan Buzhuo in front of him, speaking softly, "Are you Fan Buzhuo?"
"Yes, do you have any business with me?"
Fan Buzhuo looked at Jiang Chen curiously. Although everyone believed Jiang Chen intended to seek their protection, he had a vague feeling that Jiang Chen had another reason for finding him.
Jiang Chen grinned and chuckled, "Someone asked me to bring you a message. They said, ’If you don’t come back soon, don’t ever return.’"
Fan Buzhuo was slightly stunned. Whatever he thought of made his eyes change, glancing up and down at Jiang Chen before curling his lips, "That old scoundrel turned finding me into a new student assessment task? What is that old guy thinking?"
Jiang Chen chuckled lightly, seemingly having guessed correctly!
