Starting From Douluo, Glory is Invincible

Chapter 1463 The Xiaoyao family’s final counterattack and the conspiracy at the auction

As an imperial princess, she is extremely noble, but she has to be cautious in front of Osmilan. Osmilan, what the name represents, is the Ulis family, the main economic controller of the empire. If the Xiaoyao family's wealth is like a torrential river, then the Ulis family is a giant with unparalleled wealth. Its financial strength is enough to shock the entire empire.

What is even more terrifying is that although Osmilan is young, his vicious and tyrannical methods are far beyond ordinary people's imagination. He played tricks as easily as a child playing house, using all possible means. Some people even said that if Osmilan could put down his hobby of collecting, even if he wanted to dominate the entire Golden Wind Empire, it would not be impossible.

 However, for such an extreme character, every move he makes is full of unpredictability. No one knows what amazing move he will make next. This mysterious and dangerous temperament makes him stand out among many nobles and celebrities.

At this moment, the person who made the quotation was Osmilan. He didn't know when he came down from the VIP room and lay lazily in the VIP chair. His expression was casual and his behavior revealed an air of frivolity. If someone who didn't know about it saw it, they might mistakenly think that he was a libertine or a gangster.

 But here, Nanding Auction House gathers all the nobles and celebrities of the upper class. Who would not know the successor of one of the four major families in the empire? Osmilan's appearance undoubtedly shocked many people present.

 The expressions on their faces began to change, and whispers began to rise and fall. So many nobles and celebrities gathered together, and each person's words formed a huge wave of sound that seemed to drown the entire auction house.

Seeing the situation, the auctioneer couldn't control it. He immediately waved the auction hammer in his hand and hit it hard!

“One hundred thousand gold, the first time!” the auctioneer’s voice echoed throughout the auction house, “Is there any higher price than this?”

 As he asked this question, the whole place suddenly became silent. Everyone was shocked by the price. Even those nobles and celebrities who came from wealthy families couldn't help but look shocked at this moment. One hundred thousand gold, this is not a small amount, even for them, it is enough to deter many people.

However, this price was quoted by Osmilan easily, as if it was just a number he threw out casually. His expression was still casual, and there was a playful light in his eyes, as if he was provoking everyone present.

 After a brief silence, everyone began to whisper and discuss. They were all speculating about the hidden meaning behind this price, and why Osmilan paid so generously.

 Some people began to make secret calculations, trying to figure out Osmilan's thoughts. They knew that although this young man seemed frivolous and careless on the surface, he was actually very scheming and had his own purpose and plan in every step he took.

But at this moment, Osmilan didn't seem to care about everyone's comments and speculations. He was still lying in the VIP chair, squinting his eyes, as if enjoying the storm he had caused. There was a meaningful smile hanging on the corner of his mouth, making it impossible to understand his true inner thoughts.

 As time went by, the atmosphere in the auction house became increasingly tense. Everyone is waiting for the next offer to come in and see if anyone can break the deadlock and compete with Osmilan.

However, to everyone’s surprise, no one dared to bid again in the following time. They were all intimidated by Osmilan's momentum and were unwilling to touch his edge easily.

 Finally, when the auctioneer swung the auction hammer again, the entire audience became silent. Everyone knows that this lot has been successfully bought by Osmilan for a high price of one hundred thousand gold.

Osmilan was sitting in a spacious and luxurious box, with a soft and comfortable chair back behind him, exuding a sense of confidence and laziness. His eyes swept around inadvertently, and finally stopped at Lin Fan at the entrance of the side door. Lin Fan stood there. Although he did not exude any strong aura, he made Osmilan feel an unusual sense of presence.

Just after observing for a moment, Osmilan discovered the indescribable tacit understanding and connection between Lin Fan and Suzaku. He secretly thought to himself that this combination was definitely not simple. Lin Fan seemed to be hiding many unknown secrets, and Suzaku's attitude towards him seemed quite special.

Thinking of this, a hint of cunning flashed in Osmilan's eyes. He has always liked to play with power and is good at seizing opportunities in various situations. Now, this seemingly ordinary Lin Fan actually aroused a strong interest in him. He decided to take this opportunity to play an interesting game with Xiaoyao Dogou.

"Brother Xiaoyao, forget it." Jin Fei persuaded from the side, her expression was a little depressed, "That guy, even if the father comes forward in person, he may not let go."

As a royal princess, Jin Fei is usually spoiled and pampered, but she has never suffered such a setback. She knew very well how difficult Lin Fan was, and she also understood that it would not be easy to win Suzaku from him. However, Xiaoyao Goutou is an extremely proud and competitive person. How could he tolerate being embarrassed in front of a little Lin Fan?

"No!" Xiaoyao Goutou said through gritted teeth, his eyes flashing with anger, "What your Highness the Princess wants, I, Xiaoyao Goutou, must help her get, even if I try my best!"

 After saying that, he took a deep breath and raised the sign again to quote: "Twenty thousand!"

As soon as this number was exported, a low cry suddenly sounded throughout the auction venue. Many people began to whisper and discuss whether the price was worth it. However, for Xiaoyao Goutou, this is not only to get Suzaku, but also to save his own face.

When Osmilan saw this, he just smiled contemptuously. He looked at Xiaoyao Dogou playfully, as if he were looking at a clown. Then, he raised the sign again in an understatement: "One hundred and fifty thousand."

This price made Xiaoyao Goutou feel unprecedented pressure. He understood that Osmilan was deliberately provoking him and wanted to see how far he could go. But how could he give up so easily? This is not only about his face, but also about his commitment to Princess Jin Fei.

“One hundred and eighty thousand!” Xiaoyao Goutou gritted his teeth and quoted again.

However, Osmilan seemed not satisfied with the price. He snapped his fingers gently, without even raising his eyelids: "Two hundred thousand."

This price was like a heavy hammer, hitting Xiaoyao Goutou's heart hard. He seemed to have been hit in the head, and his whole body became a little dazed. This price has far exceeded his budget and has even touched the Xiaoyao family's bottom line. He knew that if he continued to quote, he might attract criticism from the family elders.

But how could he be willing to give up? He clenched his fists tightly, eyes flashing with determination. He knew that he could not be defeated by Osmilan like this. He must find a way to turn the situation around and save some face for himself.

"I..." Xiaoyao Goutou opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. His heart was filled with helplessness and unwillingness, but more importantly, he was filled with desire and persistence for Lin Fan and Suzaku. He understood that he was now in a dilemma. But no matter what, he couldn't give up his pursuit and dignity so easily.

At the same time, Osmilan became more and more proud. He liked looking at Xiaoyao Dogou's anxious and helpless expression, which made him feel an inexplicable pleasure. He knew that he had firmly grasped the initiative in this game. As long as he continued to exert pressure, Xiaoyao Goutou would collapse sooner or later. However, he did not expect what the final outcome of this game would be...

 In the bustling auction house, the atmosphere was tense and warm. Xiaoyao Goutou's face was a little gloomy, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the amethyst jade necklace on the auction table. Although this necklace is not embellished with any spiritual objects, it exudes an indescribable mysterious atmosphere that makes people fascinated.

"Brother Xiaoyao, I accept your wishes." A gentle voice came from beside him, but with a bit of helplessness, "However, we really can't afford to offend that lunatic. There has never been anything in his mouth. People got a bargain."

Hearing this, Xiaoyao Goutou furrowed his brows, feeling unwilling to accept it, "No, I can't swallow this breath!" His voice revealed firmness and determination. He was determined to get this necklace, not only because of its mystery and beauty, but also because it represented the glory and dignity of the Xiaoyao family.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand!" Xiaoyao Goutou took a deep breath and quoted the final price he could afford. As soon as this number was spoken, there was an uproar around him. However, under the shocked gazes of everyone, Osmilan just sneered, with a look of disdain on his face.

"It's not interesting, I got so angry so quickly." Osmilan said lightly, his tone full of ridicule, "He's still a boy from the Xiaoyao family, huh~ I won't play with you anymore~"

 After saying that, he casually quoted a new price: "Four hundred thousand!"

This number was like a bombshell, instantly igniting heated discussions in the auction house. Everyone was shocked by the price. A seemingly ordinary amethyst jade necklace was sold to such a sky-high price! Looking at the entire continent, it is true that only the lunatic Osmilan could accomplish this kind of initiative.

At this moment, there was already a commotion on the first floor, and in the VIP room on the second floor, the fighting spirit slowly shook his head. He looked at Osmilan deeply, knowing in his heart that today's bidding had evolved into a contest about honor and dignity.

“This guy Osmilan, it seems he has to fight with me today.” War Spirit muttered to himself. His eyes were shining with stars, revealing an aura of unwillingness to admit defeat.

"How can it be done?" Zhanhun grinned. "I, Zhanhun, am not a vegetarian~" Although his voice was not high, it was full of confidence and determination. Wu Sentan, who came after hearing the sound, also stared at Lin Fan with his eyes fixed on him and trembled all over! He knows the character of War Soul, and once he decides on something, he will never give up easily.

At this moment, Lin Fan, who was standing at the side entrance of Nanding Auction House, had a different mood. He stared blankly at the fat man with playful eyes - Osmilan. This was the first time he felt the great charm of money so close. In this noble and elegant occasion, Osmilan was like the overlord in the world of money, ignoring all hostility and squandering his wealth and power wantonly.

"It turns out it's Lord Osmilan!" Lin Fan sighed in his heart, "No wonder spending money is like running water." He witnessed Osmilan's domineering and arrogance in the auction, and also deeply understood the power of money in this world. huge influence. This feeling made Lin Fan full of expectations and longing for the future, and at the same time strengthened his determination to work hard.

 But Osmilan and Xiaoyao Goutou still have no intention of giving up. They all seem to be using this method to show each other their determination and strength. The surrounding spectators were also attracted by this fierce bidding and waited with bated breath for the final result.

However, just when everyone thought that the auction was going to end with Osmilan's victory, an unexpected voice suddenly sounded: "Half a million!"

Everyone followed the sound and saw a young man in rich clothes walking out of the crowd. He looked at Osmilan and Xiaoyao Goutou with a smile, "Since you two like this necklace so much, I am willing to join in the fun."

The appearance of this young man instantly broke the balance on the field, and also made the auction house, which had been calm, become excited again. Everyone is speculating on the identity and origin of this young man, and they are also looking forward to what changes he can bring to this auction.

At this moment, Osmilan and Xiaoyao Goutou looked at each other. Neither of them expected that such a change would happen at this time. However, now that the matter has come to this, they can only bite the bullet and continue to participate in the bidding, hoping to get this long-desired necklace in their pockets. So a new round of competition started again, and the atmosphere in the auction house reached an unprecedented climax.

 In the bustling auction venue, the atmosphere gradually heated up. One precious item after another was displayed one after another, causing commotion in the venue. However, the most eye-catching thing is the amethyst jade necklace, which is crystal clear and exudes a charming luster, attracting countless people.

Suzaku was sitting in the corner, her eyes casually glanced at the necklace, and something strange flashed in her eyes. At this moment, she heard whispers beside her, which seemed to be talking about a familiar name.

 “Do you know him too?” a voice asked softly.

Zhuque turned around and saw that it was an acquaintance next to him. She nodded slightly and replied with a complicated expression: "Well, he is Osmilan. He has strong financial resources behind him, is arrogant, and has an extreme style. In the circles of the imperial capital, few people dare to challenge him head-on."

 Speaking of this, Suzaku's eyes flashed with helplessness. Although she despised Osmilan's lavish spending and arrogant behavior, she had to admit that the other party did have the qualifications. As one of the four major families in the empire, the Ulis family's influence and strength are unquestionable. Looking back at the Cang family that I belong to, it has gradually declined in recent years. Compared with the Ulis family, it is a world of difference. Thinking of this, Suzaku felt even lower.

While the two were talking, the climax of the auction house finally arrived. The amethyst jade necklace was put on the auction block, and the starting price was as high as 300,000 gold coins. This price is undoubtedly an astronomical figure for ordinary people, but the people present are all the dignitaries of the imperial capital. They all raised their placards to bid, and the scene was extremely fierce.

Suzaku was also watching the bidding silently. She saw Osmilan raising the number plate in his hand with a joking look on his face, and each time the price increased, it would jump up to fifty thousand or one hundred thousand. Under his leadership, the price of the necklace rose rapidly, and soon exceeded the 400,000 gold coin mark.

“Four hundred thousand three times!” the auctioneer shouted with a red face and excitement in his voice. With his final words, the audience burst into warm applause and cheers. Osmilan's fat face also showed unconcealable pleasure. He looked around, and his eyes finally settled on Xiaoyao Dogou's face that was deformed with anger.

 As the young master of another big family, Xiaoyao Goutou is used to being arrogant and domineering. But at this moment, in front of Osmilan, he seemed so powerless. He gritted his teeth tightly and stared at Osmilan with burning eyes, as if he wanted to pounce on him and tear him apart. However, he also knew that he was no match for Osmilan. Regardless of financial resources or strength, he is far inferior to the other party.

Osmilan seems to enjoy the feeling of trampling his opponents underfoot. He walked up to Xiaoyao Goutou with a wicked smile and said in a joking tone: "Master Xiaoyao, long time no see~ You look much more handsome!"

Xiaoyao Goutou snorted angrily, his face turned extremely ugly. He suppressed the anger in his heart and asked coldly: "Lord Osmilan, you are flattered. But I don't understand why you, a 'big' man, want to bid with me for the amethyst jade necklace worn by the woman?" "

Osmilan laughed loudly when he heard this. He patted Xiaoyao Goutou's shoulder and said in a pretentious manner: "Master Xiaoyao, don't you understand? Although this necklace looks like it is worn by a woman, its value is not just that. I took the photo Of course I have some use for it. As for you, just treat it as a small gift to me! Hahaha!”

 After saying these words, Osmilan turned around and strode away. Xiaoyao Goutou was left there, trembling with anger but helpless. Suzaku also saw the ugly face of the powerful and the huge gap between the families in this farce. She sighed deeply, and became more determined in her determination to work hard to improve her strength and revitalize her family.

Xiaoyao Goutou comes from a famous family and has been influenced by strict family education and identity consciousness since he was a child. At this moment, although he was full of anger in his heart, his reason still prevailed. He knew clearly that on such a noble occasion, any disrespectful behavior might become a topic of conversation for others. What's more important is that if he loses his temper here, even if he can deal with it indifferently, he will definitely face severe rebuke from his father when he returns to the family, and may even suffer a heavy loss of the family's face. At this time, Osmilan's somewhat joking voice sounded: "Well, you'll find out later~" His tone was careless, as if he was turning a blind eye to Xiaoyao Goutou's anger. After speaking, his eyes swept across the crowd and finally landed on Princess Jin Fei. There was something profound in that look, which made people shudder. He shook his head slightly, with a hint of a smile on his lips, and slowly said: "Your Highness, I wonder what you wanted to do by leaving the palace without permission this time?"

 Princess Jinfei’s originally arrogant demeanor involuntarily became somewhat restrained under Osmilan’s sharp gaze. Although she is usually arrogant and arrogant, she has to be cautious in front of this giant who holds the power of impeachment and plays a pivotal role in the empire, for fear that her words and deeds will become the basis for the other party's attack. Jin Fei was secretly vigilant in her heart, but she tried hard to remain calm on her face, trying to cope with the changes by remaining unchanged.

"Lord Osmilan, how did you know that I left the palace without permission?" Jin Fei asked, with a hint of stubbornness in her voice. She didn't want the other party to see through her thoughts easily, especially in such a public place.

When Osmilan heard this, he burst into laughter, and the laughter was full of sarcasm: "Hahaha, Her Royal Highness the Princess's style is well known to the whole country. To you, such childish behavior as leaving the palace without permission is... Not once or twice." As soon as he finished speaking, the air around him seemed to freeze for a moment. Everyone held their breath, waiting for Princess Jin Fei's reaction.

Princess Jin Fei's face instantly turned ugly. She was about to have a fit when she saw Osmilan change the topic and said in an almost teasing tone: "Uh...please let me guess the purpose of your visit, okay?" ?" His eyes flashed with a cunning light, as if he had seen through Princess Jin Fei's true intention of this trip.

Princess Jinfei was stunned, and the anger she was about to erupt stopped abruptly at Osmilan's words. She looked at Osmilan's evil smile uneasily, and couldn't help but feel her heart beating. The purpose of her trip was indeed to sign up for the Shenwu Conference. However, her father firmly disagreed with her participation in the competition, thinking it was beneath the dignity of the royal family. However, Princess Jin Fei has a temperament that refuses to admit defeat. The more she is not allowed to do it, the more she wants to do it. Now, being exposed by Osmilan in front of her face like this, she couldn't help feeling a little panicked.

"The first thing is to sign up for the Divine Martial Arts Tournament. Are you right? His Majesty refuses to let you participate, but you insist on participating." Osmilan pressed forward step by step, and every word he spoke seemed to be a heavy blow on Princess Jin Fei's heartstrings. . His words were full of teasing and provocation, as if he was deliberately irritating the proud princess.

Princess Jin Fei felt something unexpected in her heart, and her expression became even more unnatural. She wanted to deny it, but she couldn't get the words out of her mouth. Because what Osmilan said was true, the purpose of her trip was indeed to participate in the Shenwu Conference. However, as a princess, how could she easily admit her willful behavior? So, she could only bite the bullet and said bravely: "Lord Osmilan, you really love to joke." After saying this, she could almost feel the heat rising slightly on her cheeks. That was a lie. A complex mixture of embarrassment and shame after being exposed.

Osmilan didn't care about the reactions around him. He smiled to himself, with a hint of cunning in his eyes. He spoke slowly, with a hint of joking in his voice: "Next, let our young master Xiaoyao come to Nanding Auction House to 'buy' something." As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the auction house suddenly became a little subtle. .

 Xiaoyao Goutou stood not far away, his eyes twitching slightly. He felt the provocation in Osmilan's words, and couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart. However, he knew that this was not the time to get angry, so he suppressed the anger in his heart and kept his face as calm as possible.

Osmilan seemed to enjoy this kind of game of teasing other people's bottom line. He continued to say leisurely: "Young Master Xiaoyao is really nice. He is handsome and his family is rich. Spending so much money on the princess is not a big deal for him. What does it matter? However, I also like this amethyst jade necklace. I’m sorry, Princess, I’m afraid I’m going to disappoint you, hahaha~”

 After saying these words, Osmilan laughed regardless of his image. His laughter echoed in the auction house, as if he was deliberately provoking. At the critical point when the two of them were about to explode into anger, he turned around and left in a graceful manner, leaving behind a fat but somewhat proud back.

Jin Fei looked at Osmilan's leaving back and stamped her feet in anger. She gritted her teeth and said: "This abominable Osmilan, sooner or later I will make you regret your stupid behavior today!" Her voice was full of anger and determination, as if she had regarded Osmilan as her future enemy.

 At this time, Xiaoyao Goutou's face had turned livid. He clenched his fists, as if trying to control his emotions. Jin Fei glanced at him and couldn't help but feel worried. She bit her red lips and finally chose silence, saying nothing more.

The intermission time of the auction finally arrived, but before the guests in the audience could completely relax, the auctioneer on the stage waved his hand again to signal everyone to be quiet. He pretended to be unfinished and announced loudly: "Dear distinguished guests, at the request of Miss Nanding, we will take pictures of two treasures during the intermission. Please be patient, the excitement will continue~"

 Hearing this news, many people, although unwilling to do so, still turned their attention to the auction stage. They know that every auction at Nanding Auction House will not disappoint, let alone the treasures that are included in the auction. For a moment, the atmosphere in the auction house became tense again, and everyone was looking forward to the next auction bringing more surprises and gains.

At this moment, Osmilan has left the door of the auction house. He stood in the shadows outside the door with a proud smile on his lips. He knew that what he had just done had successfully angered Jin Fei and Xiaoyao Dogou, and the game seemed to be getting more and more interesting. He is looking forward to the next development and to getting more fun and satisfaction in this game.

 At the same time, the auctioneer has begun to introduce the first treasure to be auctioned. It was a piece of exquisite jade, crystal clear and exuding a faint light. The auctioneer kept talking about the origin and characteristics of this jade, trying to push the atmosphere to a climax. The guests in the audience also began to whisper, discussing the value of this treasure and the possibility of bidding.

The auctioneer slowly took out a cyan book from under the stage. The book exuded an ancient and mysterious atmosphere, as if it contained endless wisdom and secrets. He raised the book high in the air, with a smile on his face and cunning and expectation in his eyes. He glanced around at the guests, feeling their curiosity rekindled.

"Everyone," the auctioneer finally spoke, his voice loud and contagious, "this is not an ordinary junior spiritual master's secret book. Its owner was once a young man from the far east. If you are interested in If you are interested in the profession of spiritual master, or intend to develop in this field, please listen to my detailed explanation.”

After these words, the guests who were still whispering and absent-mindedly put away their idle thoughts and focused their attention on the auctioneer. They know that there must be something extraordinary about the auction items that can appear here. The profession of spiritual master is even more awe-inspiring and yearning for people.

 However, among this group of attentive guests, Xiaoyao Goutou suddenly felt a tremor in his heart. He turned his head sharply and looked in the direction of the identification room. At that glance, he saw two familiar figures—Lin Fan and Suzaku. Anger suddenly surged in Xiaoyao Goutou's heart. These two **** things were actually here!

 He turned back and stared coldly at the spiritual master's secret book. A cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if a conspiracy against Lin Fan and Suzaku had been brewing in his heart.

 Spirit master, this noble and ancient profession, plays a decisive role in the world of fighting cultivation. They are world-famous for analyzing divine fighting and appraising the level of fighting cultivators. Although their number is rarer than that of fighting practitioners, their status is much higher than that of ordinary fighting practitioners. Because a famous spiritual master can often attract a large number of friends who are fighting cultivators and become the target of their friendship.

 In order to win over these strong cultivators, local forces often find breakthroughs from spiritual masters. A junior spiritual master can identify at least hundreds of kinds of divine battles and identify all levels below the fighting king. Their existence is undoubtedly an extremely valuable resource for those strong fighting cultivators who are eager to find a partner in the divine battle.

 It goes without saying that intermediate and high-level spiritual masters, their strength and knowledge are even more unfathomable. They are often taken along by those strong warriors who attempt to explore dangerous areas, and become indispensable partners and advisors.

 As the importance of the spiritual master profession gradually becomes apparent, various countries have also begun to pay attention to spiritual master training programs. They hope to improve their overall strength and influence by popularizing the knowledge and skills of spiritual masters. Therefore, knowledge about spiritual masters is widely disseminated in various ways, and writing is one of the important ways.

 The cyan book in the hands of the auctioneer at this moment is obviously a precious secret record about the knowledge of spiritual masters. It not only records the basic knowledge and skills that junior spiritual masters need to master, but it may also contain the unique insights and experiences of the oriental young man. This is undoubtedly an extremely valuable asset for those young people who aspire to become spiritual masters.

"Everyone," the auctioneer continued, "the owner of this secret book was once a gifted spiritual master. He created countless miracles in his short career and left behind this precious secret book. . Now, it's right in front of you. If you are interested in becoming a spiritual master, or want to learn more about this profession, don't miss this opportunity."

 As the auctioneer finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense. Everyone stared at the cyan book, with fiery light shining in their eyes. They know that this secret book not only represents endless wisdom and opportunities, but may also become the key to changing their destiny.

 And Xiaoyao Goutou was even more excited. He had originally had great interest and ambition in the profession of spiritual master, and seeing this secret book now strengthened his determination. Not only did he want to take pictures of this secret book, but he also wanted to take this opportunity to show Lin Fan and Suzaku his strength and determination. Let them pay the price for today's actions in the days to come!

 There are a dazzling array of spiritual masters’ secret records on the market, ranging from low to high, and the prices vary, making it dizzying. However, it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false in these secret records, which makes many people who have failed in cultivation and become spiritual masters accidentally fall into the trap of counterfeiting and shoddy while seeking the true path of spiritual masters, and spend a lot of money. Spend your time and money. In this mixed market, Nanding Auction House has won the trust of many practitioners with its consistent credibility and reputation.

 In the Nanding Auction House, the atmosphere was warm and solemn. On the auction table, a seemingly ordinary junior spiritual master's secret book lay there quietly, but it exuded a mysterious and alluring aura. This secret book is different from any other that has been auctioned before. It is the first mysterious work to be auctioned by Nanding Auction House.

"Dear distinguished guests, what is so special about the Junior Spiritual Master's Secret Book being auctioned today?" The auctioneer stood on the stage with a confident smile and spoke slowly, "Actually, I only need By providing two pieces of information, everyone can understand the mystery. ”

The auctioneer paused and looked around. He felt even more proud when he saw that everyone was waiting attentively for his next step. Then, he dropped the first bombshell: "First, the author of this junior spiritual master's secret book is called the source of magic."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a murmur among the crowd below. Source of divine magic? This name is unfamiliar to most people. However, in the ears of those who have an in-depth understanding of the world of spiritual masters, this name is like a bolt from the blue and shocking.

“The source of divine magic? Is it the legendary spiritual master?”

"Isn't it possible? How could his secret records appear here?"

 “If it is true, then the value of this secret book is simply immeasurable!”

Just as everyone was talking about it, the auctioneer spoke again and dropped a second bombshell: "Second, the source of divine magic has a status in the world of spiritual masters, just like the prophet of Shenyin Hall!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire auction house instantly fell into silence. The prophet of Shenyin Hall is the supreme being in the hearts of all cultivators and the pinnacle figure in the world of spiritual masters. And the source of divine magic can actually be compared with it? This is unbelievable!

However, the auctioneer’s words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. Those eyes that were originally doubtful now became extremely surprised. Then, the surprise turned to desire, and the noble faces bloomed with eagerness to bid!

 Seeing everyone's reaction, the auctioneer was secretly proud. He knew that the two pieces of information he had thrown out were enough to double the value of this junior spiritual master's secret record. At this moment, he said no more and directly reported the auction base price of this secret book: "Starting price, 10,000 gold! Start now!"

 As the auctioneer finished speaking, the entire auction house began to boil again. Ten thousand gold, although it is not an astronomical figure to everyone present, but you must know that this is only the starting price for a junior spiritual master's secret book! However, when they thought about the meaning and value behind this secret book, everyone felt that the price was not excessive.

 “Fifteen thousand gold!” Someone impatiently raised the number plate in his hand.

 “Twenty thousand gold!” Another voice followed closely.

 “Twenty-five thousand gold!” The bidding price keeps rising, and everyone wants to get this precious secret book.

 In the auction house, the atmosphere reached a climax. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the junior spiritual master's secret book on the auction table, as if it was the key to the peak of the spiritual master. The auctioneer stood aside, smiling and watching all this happen, secretly thinking about how high the final transaction price of this auction would reach.

 As the auctioneer's voice fell, the entire auction room fell into a brief silence. Lin Fan stood in the corner and felt the muscles in his body tightening involuntarily, as if he was waiting for some important moment. He turned to look at Suzaku beside him, and saw her slender jade hands holding his arm tightly, so hard that he felt a little pain.

From Suzaku's trembling hands and solemn expression, Lin Fan deeply understood what it meant to be frightened. She was worried that the price would be so high that no one would take it, since it meant so much to them.

 However, this tense atmosphere did not last long. Just when Lin Fan was secretly feeling anxious, a loud voice suddenly broke the silence.

 “Twelve thousand!” A wealthy old man with purple hair stood up and quoted the price without hesitation. His voice revealed his determination to win, which shocked everyone present.

Lin Fan and Suzaku looked at each other and smiled, half of the weight in their hearts finally fell. The price has exceeded their expectations, but the auction has just begun and they still hope to see higher bids.

Sure enough, as soon as the old man finished speaking, another middle-aged man in silver robes followed closely and quoted: "Ten thousand and five!" His voice was steady and powerful, as if he was secretly competing with the purple-haired old man.

“Sixteen thousand!” Not to be outdone, the purple-haired old man immediately increased the price.

“Eighteen thousand!” The middle-aged man in silver robe did not flinch and continued to follow the price.

 However, in this joyful atmosphere, there was a cold gaze that was always locked on Lin Fan. That was Xiaoyao Dogou. Ever since he discovered Lin Fan's existence, his already angry eyes were filled with hatred. He couldn't accept that the enemy he had been looking for would appear here and participate in the auction in such a high-profile manner.

Xiaoyao Goutou clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from excessive exertion. He gritted his teeth, wishing he could rush forward and tear Lin Fan into pieces. But reason told him that now was not the time to be impulsive. He had to stay calm and wait for the right moment to deliver a fatal blow to Lin Fan.

Jin Fei on the side noticed the unusual behavior of Xiaoyao Goutou. She frowned slightly and asked softly: "Brother Xiaoyao, why do you keep staring at that mysterious boy? Is there anything special about him?" Jin Fei's voice was gentle and concerned, trying to resolve the anger in Xiaoyao Goutou's heart.

 But Xiaoyao Goutou did not answer her question immediately. He took a deep breath and tried to calm down his emotions. After a while, he spoke slowly, with endless hatred in his voice: "That sword **** Lin Fan is the opponent I have been looking for. He made me suffer unprecedented humiliation and frustration. I swear, I will Make him regret coming into this world!"
