Chapter 99: Striking it Rich (Part 1)

  Today's status is not bad, the red ticket has reached 1955, and it's still short of forty-five to reach the new update condition. Everyone, please give me some strength, I don't want to drag it until tomorrow to update, hehe.

  Inside the auction hall, those who sat in the hall could be said to have come to watch the excitement. They entered early and began a passionate discussion among themselves. After all, such a grand auction was also their first encounter in their lifetime, so they all looked very excited.

  As group after group of people walked in, they immediately shifted their attention from discussion to these people.

  The first to walk in was a woman with fair skin, wearing a red tight-fitting long dress, with beautiful curves, she moved, and the eyes of all the men in the room followed her.

  In fact, the appearance of this woman is not that of a stunning beauty who can topple cities with her charm. In terms of looks alone, she could only be considered above average, and there was still quite a gap between her and those top-grade beauties. Whether it was Ouyang Qianyun or Shangguan Hongyan, both were more beautiful than her by at least three points.

  But this woman was the one who caught my eye at first glance, and she was a pleasure to look at. Especially her long eyelashes and clear eyes made me linger on.

  And her figure is extremely hot, although her appearance is not the top-notch, but in terms of figure, she can be considered top-notch, with a prominent front and back, two sides concave, and the degree is extremely exaggerated, it's not an exaggeration to describe her as having a devilish figure.

  With such a figure, it can make up for some defects in appearance. Plus her very sexy dress, she immediately attracted everyone's attention.

  However, this woman seemed to be quite disgusted by the gaze of these people, and she curled up her mouth, not staying here at all, but directly entering the private room.

  The person who came out later was also wearing red clothes, but this man was an extremely arrogant man, which immediately made the people present lose interest.

  This guy is very good at pretending to be domineering, and even when he walks into an auction house, he doesn't forget to bring his long gun.

  However, he had just walked into the auction hall when he was stopped by staff on all sides and not allowed to bring his long gun in. Although it caused a small disturbance, no harm was done.

  Finally, under the pressure of the strong men in the foundation period, the man could only compromise and hand over the long gun to the staff, then he also walked into the compartment.

  The next ones who came in were relatively low-key and walked into the private rooms specially prepared for them.

  Everyone in the hall was very clear that they were just accompanying guests, green leaves, and the real protagonist was the person who had just come from outside and entered the private room.

  With the arrival of the last family, the door of the auction hall was heavily closed, which also heralded the official start of the auction.

  At this moment, Zhang Cheng and others have been arranged in a special box, the front of which has a window that can only be seen from the inside to the outside, and it is impossible to see the situation inside from the outside.

  However, in this private room, apart from Zhang Cheng and Ouyang Qianyun, there were four other people, three men and one woman.

  These three men Zhang Cheng didn't know, but he could also guess that they should be people from other big families. As for the woman, Zhang Cheng knew her, it was Shangguan Hongyan who had a falling out with Zhang Cheng before.

  Zhang Cheng knew this was intentionally arranged by the heads of these few big families, wanting them to get along with each other.

  Moreover, they seemed to have done their homework and even chatted with him for a few sentences when they came up. However, Zhang Cheng just couldn't muster up any interest in them, so he casually replied to a few questions before lowering his head to play with the kitten alongside Ouyang Qianyun.

  These people also felt bored and stopped talking to him, shifting their attention to Shangguan Hongyan, who was apparently more attractive than Zhang Cheng.

  As for Ou Yang Qian Yun, they didn't have the guts to mess with her, they were all very clear that Zhang Cheng Ke was not someone they could afford to offend.

  However, Zhang Cheng did notice that Shangguan Hongyan was much more subdued than before and seemed to be afraid of him, which made Zhang Cheng somewhat curious.

  However, Zhang Cheng didn't bother to think about the reason and instead sat there playing with the kitten. Although the kitten was trying hard to struggle free from Zhang Cheng's grasp, it was clear that it was all in vain.

  About ten minutes later, the auction officially began.

  First to come up were some ordinary auction items, and the several major families as well as the Xiuzhen Sect didn't make any big moves. The onlookers below also seemed to be quite aware of what was going on, and they started bidding one after another, seemingly trying to stir up interest.

  A series of auctions came down, and they were all floating up and down in the tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of gold coins, without any particularly eye-catching places.

  At last, a beautiful woman with a slender figure and sexy dress, wearing a tight red skirt, carrying a plate covered with gauze, swaying her hips as she walked up.

  Although the auctioneer who hosted the auction had not yet said what this thing was, the atmosphere of the entire auction hall had already undergone a very obvious change. A strong sense of oppression spread around, causing people below to hold their breath.

  "Now, let's auction off the final item of this auction. I think everyone has already understood what it is. Yes, this is the Foundation Establishment Pill that can directly allow a congenital realm cultivator to break through the barrier and enter the foundation establishment period."

  The auctioneer paused for a moment, then continued: "Zhugiji Dan is from the hands of the immortal master, with the effect of turning decay into magic. We are fortunate to have two, well, I think everyone can't wait any longer, and I won't say much more. I'll just mention the rules - these two Zhugiji Dan have a starting price of 8 million purple gold coins, each bid increase must not be less than 100,000 purple gold coins. Alright, let's start bidding."

  The auctioneer finished speaking and struck a gavel to announce the official start of the auction.

  "One hundred million!" The auctioneer's hammer had just fallen, and immediately a voice came from a private room, directly adding twenty million, which finally made the onlookers understand what it means to spend money like dirt.

  "The Xiahou family bid 10 million, is there anyone who can offer a higher price? This is a Dan medicine refined by the immortal master, one of which is equivalent to a high-ranking cultivator in the foundation-building period, could it be..."

  "One billion five hundred million!" Just as the auctioneer was trying to stir up the atmosphere, a voice cut in, directly adding 50 million. This price also made the auctioneer pause for a moment.

  "The Wang family bid 150 million, is there a higher price?!" The auctioneer stared for a moment to see if anyone would bid, then said: "Although this price has exceeded the market by a lot, but the foundation pill is not always available, are you all going to let go of this opportunity?"
