Myriad Daos of the Heaven

Chapter 347: Chapter 345: Let Me Snatch the Heart of the Ocean for You

Hex Feng had thought he could be arrogant and steal the show!

But his opponent had immediately raised the bid by ten thousand Seventh Grade Spirit Stones, putting him under pressure.

In fact, many of the Noble Young Masters in the second-floor private rooms had fallen silent.

The other party was bidding as if Seventh Grade Spirit Stones were just rocks on the side of the road, calling out numbers with casual ease.

Even they lacked such brazen extravagance.

In truth, Jiang Jichen really didn’t think much of these Seventh Grade Spirit Stones.

He had scammed all of these Seventh Grade Spirit Stones, and besides, the amount of Spiritual Objects he usually consumed was astonishing.

If he were to use them for his cultivation, this amount of Spirit Stones wouldn’t even be enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.

Besides, the Heart of the Ocean was something Qingya liked.

And Qingya had once saved his life.

So, the price was irrelevant. All that mattered was that Qingya liked it.

Such were Jiang Jichen’s thoughts. Very simple.

Of course, slapping those young masters in the face along the way was also a guaranteed source of pleasure.

If Young Master Shan, Hex Feng, and the others knew what Jiang Jichen was thinking, they would probably lose all will to continue bidding.

"Forty-one thousand Seventh Grade Spirit Stones!"

Hex Feng’s voice finally rang out, trembling slightly.

These were Seventh Grade Spirit Stones, after all!

Hex Feng himself had only managed to scrape together a few hundred Seventh Grade Spirit Stones, yet here he was, bidding forty-one thousand.

His heart felt like it was about to give out!

Before, he’d thought that bidding for Young Master Shan was a matter of great prestige.

Now, he only felt humiliated. His opponent was raising the bid by tens of thousands, while he was only going up by one thousand at a time.

His opponent was absolutely crushing them, leaving them no room to breathe.

"Fifty thousand Seventh Grade Spirit Stones!"

Sure enough, the moment Hex Feng’s bid was made, his opponent countered with an effortlessly calm reply.

The entire venue fell silent. The only sounds were the bids from the two, and the Auctioneer occasionally asking if there were any other offers.

The Auctioneer, meanwhile, was trembling with excitement.

He had never imagined that a single Heart of the Ocean could be auctioned at such a heaven-defying price. It was an absolutely unprecedented record.

Moreover, the bidding seemed far from over.

In his private room, Young Master Shan felt like he was being viciously slapped in the face. This was no longer about Spirit Stones; it was about his honor.

He abruptly stood up and coldly projected his voice, "One hundred thousand Seventh Grade Spirit Stones!"

Young Master Shan had personally entered the bidding. As expected, his move was extraordinary, shocking everyone present.

One hundred thousand Seventh Grade Spirit Stones!

All for a single Heart of the Ocean!

Everyone was stunned. Even the Auctioneer was frozen in place, feeling as if his heart was about to stop beating.

"Heh... Three hundred thousand Seventh Grade Spirit Stones!"

But just as Young Master Shan’s voice faded, and just as the crowd was about to process their shock, they were immediately stunned into a stupor by the next bid.

And what was the meaning behind that "heh"?

Was it contempt? Disdain? Or was he laughing at Young Master Shan for not knowing his own limits?

Everyone naturally assumed the latter.

That mysterious youth at the Grandmaster Realm actually dared to challenge Young Master Shan, refusing to be intimidated.

Not only that, but he dared to mock him, look down on him, and laugh at him for overreaching.

Many were shocked, sensing the tense atmosphere of a storm about to break.

At that moment, Young Master Shan was on the verge of exploding in his private room. He felt this was the greatest humiliation he had ever suffered.

’That guy... is absolutely doing this on purpose!’

Anyone who wasn’t blind could see it.

Otherwise, why would the bid, which had been rising in increments of ten thousand, suddenly jump by two hundred thousand the moment Young Master Shan himself spoke?

And on top of that, there was that "heh"!

"He’s dead meat! He’s dead meat...!"

Young Master Shan’s eyes were bloodshot.

Beside him, the Half-step Spirit Infant Realm servant’s expression was grim. He was calmer, however, and was about to advise Young Master Shan to give up.

After all, they had only brought four hundred thousand Seventh Grade Spirit Stones with them.

Even for someone like Young Master Shan, the amount of Seventh Grade Spirit Stones he could use was limited. Four hundred thousand was his annual limit, a rule set by his family.

Spending three hundred thousand on a single Heart of the Ocean was absolute madness.

Many people were thinking the same thing.

But before the old Half-step Spirit Infant Realm servant could speak, Young Master Shan had already roared in a frenzy, "Four hundred thousand Seventh Grade Spirit Stones! You piece of trash, what gives you the right to compete with me?"

Young Master Shan’s roar echoed endlessly throughout the grand auction hall.

Everyone present was so shocked they nearly leaped out of their seats.

The Auctioneer even pinched his own thigh to see if he was dreaming.

For a long moment, there was complete silence. All eyes were fixed on Jiang Jichen’s private room, as if waiting for him to counter with another bid.

"Dumb ass."

But then, a faint voice drifted from the private room.

This...

Everyone was left speechless by that single phrase!

Many were so stunned by such a reply they could have mistaken the speaker for a Celestial Human.

Those two simple words said it all.

It was a devastating blow to Young Master Shan, with an impact one could only imagine.

Young Master Shan would soon become the laughingstock of all Yunshui City.

Just like that infamous yellow-haired brat, the delinquent youth Duan Feng!

Young Master Shan, for his part, was stunned for a moment.

’He... he actually didn’t counter-bid.’

Then, reality hit him, and in that instant, he was about to explode with rage.

But just then, the Auctioneer’s trembling, excited voice echoed through the auction hall.

"This Heart of the Ocean—the most beautiful, most brilliant, most peerless treasure in the world—is sold for the unprecedented price of four hundred thousand Seventh Grade Spirit Stones! It belongs to our wise and noble Young Master Shan!"

Though meant as praise, the words were incredibly jarring to Young Master Shan’s ears.

It was as if they were mocking him for being a real... dumb ass.

"ARGH! You brat, you dare to set me up? You’re courting death!"

Young Master Shan roared!

Just then, a serving girl brought the Heart of the Ocean up to his room.

The Half-step Spirit Infant Realm servant had no choice but to pay the Spirit Stones.

Not even the Seven Great Families or the Three Major Sects would dare default on a debt in Yunshui City.

Young Master Shan couldn’t take his anger out on the auction house, but his heart was filled with boundless killing intent for the brat in the other room.

Jiang Jichen, perfectly composed in his private room, let his proud voice drift out, "This is a public place. Surely you wouldn’t dare attack me here?"

Young Master Shan replied coldly, "You think I can’t touch you just because we’re in a public place? That just shows how naive and childish you are!"

With that, Young Master Shan... attacked!

BOOM!

He thrust out a palm, and the two private rooms beside him exploded. Suddenly, Jiang Jichen, Qingya, and everyone from Young Master Shan’s group were exposed to the crowd.

Before anyone could react, Young Master Shan flicked his wrist, casting the light of a Secret Artifact that instantly enveloped Jiang Jichen, Qingya, and his own entourage.

VMMMM!

The next moment, all of them were teleported to the empty space above the center of the auction hall!

And beneath their feet, a Martial Arts Stage materialized!

"A single-use, portable Martial Arts Stage!"

Someone cried out in alarm. No one had expected Young Master Shan to be so extravagant as to use such an incredible Secret Artifact.

But what Jiang Jichen and Qingya didn’t expect was that among Young Master Shan’s group was a large crowd of familiar faces.

Hex Yao and the others from Celestial Pearl Country were also stunned for a moment when they saw Qingya.

At this, it was Jiang Jichen who spoke calmly to Qingya, "On a Martial Arts Stage, there are no rules against fighting to the death. Excellent. Just wait, I’ll go snatch that Heart of the Ocean for you!"
