Open up and break into another world

“Those sitting in the VIP area shouldn't all be brainless suckers like you, right?”

“You…” Zhen Ling was furious. However, Xu Ming didn't continue bidding, so he had to honestly play the role of the sucker.

Although, with Zhen Ling's status, ten thousand drops of Chaos Origin Fluid wasn't a large sum for him; however, buying an ordinary Mindpower-type Chaos Divine Weapon at more than thirty times the price would make anyone feel bad.

Others didn't know that this black arrow had something special about it, but Xu Ming knew.

However, Xu Ming wasn't in a hurry either: “This Zhen Ling doesn't cultivate the Mindpower school; even if he gets the black arrow, he won't be able to refine it! So, he shouldn't be able to discover the secrets of this black arrow in a short time!”

Xu Ming was able to sense the extraordinary nature of the black arrow because he had refined the Heart-Slaying Arrow; without refining it, he wouldn't be able to sense it.

…

The auction continued.

One item after another passed, but none of them were of particular interest to Xu Ming.

Or, to put it another way, Xu Ming was only interested in Chaos Origin Fluid! Chaos Origin Fluid was like a cheat; with enough Chaos Origin Fluid, Xu Ming could use the cheat to do many things.

“Next, we will be auctioning a Chaos Beast!”

Finally, they were going to start auctioning Xu Ming's Chaos Beast!

The auctioneer introduced it in detail: “This Chaos Beast has already stepped one foot into the Saint realm! Moreover, after appraisal, its aptitude is very good; if it is nurtured well, it is entirely possible to grow to above the seventh rank of Saint in the future, and it will become your most capable right-hand man! — The auction now begins, starting price: ten thousand drops of Chaos Origin Fluid!”

Xu Ming immediately became expectant—how much Chaos Origin Fluid could this picked-up Chaos Beast bring him?

At this time, the auction house had already fallen into an uproar.

“This Chaos Beast may step into the Saint realm at any time; buying it is almost equivalent to directly buying a Saint—ten thousand drops of Chaos Origin Fluid is indeed not expensive!”

“You're thinking too much! Ten thousand drops of Chaos Origin Fluid is just the starting price; do you think you can actually get it? — You have to know, this is a Chaos Beast that is expected to reach above the seventh rank of Saint! In my opinion, it will be auctioned for at least five hundred thousand drops of Chaos Origin Fluid!”

“Grow to above the seventh rank of Saint? This is just a gimmick from the auction house! To really cultivate this Chaos Beast to above the seventh rank of Saint, how much would it cost to do it!”

Amid the discussions, the bidding had already begun.

“Ten thousand drops of Chaos Origin Fluid!”

“Eleven thousand drops!”

“Twelve thousand drops!”

…

The price rose rapidly.

“Two hundred thousand drops!”

At this moment, Zhen Ling coldly announced the price of “two hundred thousand drops of Chaos Origin Fluid”; at the same time, he looked at the entire auction house and said: “Everyone, this Chaos Beast was originally the property of my Zhen family; however, it was taken away by a villain using unscrupulous means and put up for auction at the Eternal Universe Auction House! — I hope you all will give our Zhen family some face and stop participating in the auction of this Chaos Beast, so as not to benefit the villain for nothing!”

As soon as Zhen Ling said this, the Eternal Universe Auction House did fall into a brief silence.

After all, the Zhen family was still somewhat famous in the Casting Star Realm area; upon hearing the words “Zhen family,” many powerful figures still had to weigh whether or not to give them face.

However…

Although the Zhen family had some face, that was all it was. After a little consideration, the powerful figures decided—not to give them that face.

A Saint with white hair and a youthful face sneered disdainfully: “Give your Zhen family face? Wouldn't that be not giving the Eternal Universe Auction House face? — If everyone were like you, then the Eternal Universe Auction House wouldn't have to do business!”

“That's right! Treasure auctions are all about who bids the highest; what's the use of bringing up the family name?”

“Zhen family? Haha… Is the Zhen family's face very big? — I seem to remember that the Zhen family doesn't even have a Chaos realm expert, right? In the endless Chaos, it doesn't seem to be a very remarkable force, right?”

“Heh! The force isn't big, but the tone is not small! The Zhen family's face, I won't give it, so what?”

…

Zhen Ling didn't expect that his words would not only fail to have any deterrent effect, but would instead backfire.

The powerful figures in the auction house had no intention of giving the Zhen family face; on the contrary, many powerful figures even humiliated the Zhen family—just as they said, the Zhen family didn't seem to be anything special in the endless Chaos.

Even the auctioneer on the stage looked displeased and said coldly: “The Zhen family is so arrogant? — In that case, our Eternal Universe Auction House really needs to pay a visit to your Zhen family's ancestor when we have time!”

The Eternal Universe Auction House has a powerful Chaos realm existence behind it, so naturally it wouldn't take the Zhen family seriously.

“I…” Zhen Ling was speechless.

“Shut up!” Elder Zhen transmitted his voice and scolded, “Don't you see what kind of place this is! Saying such things is just embarrassing the family!”

After a small disturbance, the auction continued.

In fact, the auction wasn't so intense at first; but because of Zhen Ling's “provocative” words, the atmosphere of the entire venue was immediately stirred up!

“Three hundred thousand drops of Chaos Origin Fluid!”

“Three hundred and fifty thousand!”

“Four hundred thousand!”

“Five hundred thousand!”

…

The auction price soared, easily breaking the five hundred thousand mark, with no intention of stopping at all.

Zhen Ling looked on in stunned silence, and even wanted to cry a little.

“Six hundred thousand!” Zhen Ling gritted his teeth and shouted.

However, his price had just been shouted out when it was immediately drowned out by other voices: “Seven hundred thousand!”

“Seven hundred and fifty thousand!”

“I…” Zhen Ling almost vomited blood.

Seven or eight hundred thousand drops of Chaos Origin Fluid, this was definitely not a small sum!

Even in the Chaos Worlds surrounding the Casting Star Realm, those more barren ones probably couldn't even gather so much Chaos Origin Fluid!

And in “indigenous Chaos Worlds” like the Divine Domain, there was even less Chaos Origin Fluid! Even Huang Quan Saint, the richest man in the Divine Domain, had only earned about two hundred thousand drops of Chaos Origin Fluid after digging for so many years in the Grand Heaven Maze, excluding the Primordial Star Map and other important treasures.

“Don't continue bidding!” Elder Zhen said with a gloomy face, “We don't want this Chaos Beast anymore!”

Don't want it anymore!

Zhen Ling felt a pang of heartache: “But…”

“There's no ‘but’! Don't forget, we're here this time to bid on more important treasures; we absolutely can't spend too much Chaos Origin Fluid for this Chaos Beast! Otherwise, if we can't bid on the ‘Sky-Shielding Treasure Mirror,’ it will ruin the family's important affairs!”
