Chapter 123: The Top Ten Masters

  (Second update. Thank you. There will be a third update tonight. Climbing Wushan and walking hard... Please take care of everyone.)

  Even Chen Hao was slightly surprised, he didn't expect that Dongfang Jun, who had a arrogant and supercilious face, would have such a side. This also made Chen Hao realize that sometimes, the young master's spoiled disciples weren't necessarily truly spoiled.

  ……

  "Alright, the auction is about to start. Take a look at what you like and bid accordingly. If you overbid, you'll have to make up for it yourself, but if you underbid, the remaining elixirs will be distributed among you." Yun Fei Yan glanced at Dongfang Jun and Dongfang Jian, who were flushed with excitement, before turning to Chen Huan and whispering, "Little brother, Master has sponsored you with 1,000 eighth-grade spirit elixirs. You can bid up to the base price of 11,000 eighth-grade spirit elixirs..."

  "Really... Master Fang sponsored me?" Chen Hao said with a hint of surprise. Apart from personally admitting him to Xinxiu Hall, he had not seen Master Fang again until now. Just as Huang Qi said, Master Fang had countless direct disciples. Chen Hao was just one of them.

  "Heh heh, yesterday when the transmission talisman sent back a message, Master already informed me. He said, 'You this disciple, after being led in, hadn't even had time to be taken care of, yet you entered the ancient ruins, and now you've advanced to such a realm... it can also be considered as Master's compensation for you...'"

  "This... I thank you, Master." Chen Hao said.

  "Hehe, and also, Shijie is sponsoring you with 500 eighth-grade spiritual pills. How will you thank Shijie?" Yunfei whispered into Chenhao's ear.

  The fragrance wafted around, her eyes were charming, and Chen Huan couldn't help but dodge to one side, saying: "Can you not sponsor me?"

  "What are you afraid of, Master Sister won't let you sacrifice yourself... You just need to take care of Master Sister's business in the future. Later, those 'trash' and 'goods' that you don't use or look down on, all give them to Master Sister. Of course, Master Sister won't want them for free, fair price, no cheating... For example..." Yun Fei Yan said up to this point, her voice became a thread, leaned in close to Chen Huan's ear and whispered: "Those Wu Xing Ling Dan, Ling Jing and whatnot, now that you've grasped the Wu Xing energy, don't waste them as ordinary pills, sell them all to Master Sister?"

  "It's all over..."

  "It's not good to tell lies, kids. If Shifu didn't guess wrong, that powerful ring of yours should be from the Xuan Huang Treasure Trove, right? Is it called the Xuan Huang Ring or the Five Elements Ring? That should be the treasure next to the Five Elements Spirit Root in the Xuan Huang Treasure Trove... and... you must have gotten the Five Elements Spirit Root too! Don't deny it, not just Shifu, but even these two beside me can guess. So, your Five Elements Spirit Pills and Spirit Crystals, there should be a lot more..."

  "It's really gone. I used some last night, and I still need to use some tonight. Although it's no longer useful to me, Xiaowu and Xiaomo still need it... That was something we obtained together. I'm just the one in charge of keeping it." Chen Hao said.

  "What do you mean..." Upon hearing Chen Huan's words, Yun Fei not only didn't lose her spirit, but her charming eyes sparkled with excitement. She directly grasped Chen Huan's arm with both hands and said: "Can you help Xiaowu and Xiaomo understand the five elements' energy? Ah... dear younger brother, good younger brother, please help older sister, okay? Hmm, Xiaoqing will also help..."

  "Cough, cough..." Chen Hao awkwardly started coughing, and the two people's posture was already quite ambiguous. Now, Yun Fei Yan was so excited that she almost stuck to Chen Hao's body, making his arm clearly feel her plump and elastic breasts full of elasticity.

  Dongfang Jun stared at the two with envy and jealousy in his eyes. This guy was a pervert. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken notice of He Lian Wuzi on her first day. However, he didn't know that Dongfang Jian also had his eye on her. But Dongfang Jian was a high-ranking disciple and wasn't in the same hall, so there were few opportunities to get close to her. As for Yun Feiyan, this woman who was both familiar and naturally charming, her attraction to men was immense. However, he knew Yun Feiyan's identity and didn't dare make any moves, otherwise he would have already stuck his face on her long ago.

  "Damn it, why do all the beauties like this guy... Isn't he just talented? Where is he more handsome than me?" Dongfang Jun looked at Chen Hao with envy and immediately turned his head away, not wanting to see him, out of sight, out of mind. The two were in a loving posture, which made him extremely annoyed. What made Dongfang Jun slightly surprised was that Dongfang Jian, who was also a pervert, was dazed this time, as if he hadn't seen Chen Hao and Yun Feiyan's intimate appearance at all.

  ……

  At this moment, four figures appeared in front of the private room. A powerful old man led the way, followed by three others, who were none other than Ming Hao from the Da Qian Kingdom and two other disciples who had risen to the new star list.

  "What bad luck, we actually ended up next to the Great Dry Kingdom..."

  "Just a poor devil. Sitting in this position, can you take good pictures? A small test, I want to see how far he can go, best not to meet me, otherwise the dead disciples of our Daqian Kingdom can rest in peace... Ha!"

  Another young man's voice, filled with arrogance and disdain, floated into the ears of Chen Hao and Yun Fei Yan, his eyes only glanced at Chen Hao with contempt, without any hesitation, and only that unbridled voice.

  ……

  Misfortunes tell us what fortune is.

  Chen Hao and others, when encountering the disciples of the Da Qian Kingdom, would kill them without hesitation. Similarly, the Da Qian Kingdom also met with the Zhen Yuan Kingdom, where they were all heading towards death. Now, the Zhen Yuan Kingdom has made a stunning move, even obtaining the VIP suite position, second only to the Da Qian Kingdom, on their left side. And Xing Luo Kingdom's Yin Feng Han and others are on Chen Hao's left side.

  The Daqian Kingdom and the Xiluo Kingdom are both powerful vassal states, with a much deeper foundation than the Zhongyang Kingdom.

  ……

  As time went by, more and more people came.

  After Yunfei Yan got Chen Haoming's ambiguous answer, she didn't bother to ask more questions either. At this moment, the entire auction hall was buzzing with discussions about the possible treasures that might appear in this auction. There were quite a few useful pieces of information.

  Just as the auction was about to begin, the noisy hall suddenly fell silent, and then turned into a low murmur of discussion.

  "This is the top ten super genius of Imperial New Star Hall, what a strong momentum..."

  "Yes, the geniuses of various provinces and vassal states are said to be very strong this time around as well. But looking at it now, there's still a huge gap..."

  "That's for sure. The top five spots on the Hundred Referees' List, it wouldn't be surprising if Imperial New Star Hall gets at least three of them. It's even possible that they'll take all five. I heard that Nie Jianping, the chief disciple of Zhuque Hall, broke through to Martial Monarch a month ago, and although it was unclear whether it was true or not at the time, looking at his aura now, it's probably real..."

  "I've also heard that. Ni Jianping is the leader of the Five Great Halls, and whether or not he's promoted to Wu Zong, he'll definitely occupy one spot. The second is Qinglong Hall's leader Li Yifeng, whose strength is unfathomable. He'll definitely get a spot too. As for the others, it's not very certain..."

  "This is where you're ignorant. Don't even think about White Tiger Hall's leader Yang Fan, this Yang Fan has always been low-key and never challenges anyone, casually ranking at the bottom of the five halls' leaders. But his true strength, I think, might even surpass Li Yi Feng..."

  "Really?"

  "What's impossible? You definitely don't know, Li Yifeng and Yang Fan have a good relationship in private, right? With Li Yifeng's personality, how could Yang Fan become his friend if he didn't have enough strength? He was already trampled to death by the head of Xuanwu Temple and Qilin Temple..."

  ……

  The murmurs were very small, but Chen Huan's abnormal hearing could catch the most valuable things in the crowd's discussion.

  In an instant, an old man led ten young men and women from Chen Hao's box.

  The first person walking behind the old man, dressed in white clothes that shone like snow, had a straight and upright figure like a sword. He seemed to be strolling leisurely, but upon closer observation of his posture and gait, it would become apparent that each step he took was identical, without any deviation whatsoever. Although his breath was not released, the feeling he gave off was vast and majestic, like a boundless ocean, deep and unfathomable, with an air of a great master about him.

  "Is he a master of the Wu Zong boundary?" Chen Hao's eyes gleamed with a hint of sharpness, staring at that figure. He then looked towards the second and fifth person, his keen spiritual sense, combined with the voice of the Treasure Seeking Sword Spirit, made Chen Hao certain about the information he had just heard.

  Just as Chen Hao was looking at Yang Fan, what made Chen Hao astonished was that this ordinary and unassuming young man, who had a subtle aura, slightly turned his head to look at him and smiled faintly before quickly passing by...

  Chen Hao slightly furrowed his brow, feeling a bit strange. Could it be that he knew himself?

  ……

  In the Imperial New Star Hall, the leader and top ten disciples sat in the most central, most front box, not long after, a melodious, passionate piano sound floated over, the auction stage suddenly flashed with dazzling light, a thread of misty air enveloped the entire auction hall.

  A mature woman with a dignified demeanor, accompanied by the sound of a guqin, slowly descended onto the auction stage, where the music abruptly stopped.

  "This is my idol, the most famous auctioneer of the Xuanwu Empire, who can make buyers go crazy and spend money. The same item sold by her can increase the price by at least 30%. And the buyers all think it's worth it!" Yun Fei Yan said in a low voice to Chen Hao.

  "How come you look like her too..." Chen Hao said in a low voice.

  "There she is. She's much prettier than me and has more charm." Yun Fei Yan said.

  "In ten or fifteen years, you'll be just like her." Chen Hao said with absolute certainty.

  "Nonsense... it's just a little similar." Yun Feiyan retorted.

  Chen Hao smiled slightly and didn't say anything else. Carving all things is capturing the trajectory of heaven and earth, carving any person or thing, only by truly seeing through the other's life trajectory can it be vividly portrayed. And Yun Feiyan and the woman on the auction stage were a variation of life trajectories in his eyes. From young Yun Feiyan to the older elegant woman, Chen Hao surprisingly found no flaws.

  "Welcome, everyone, to the Xuanwu Auction House! This is the most grand auction of the Xuanwu Auction House in two years. Shuya is honored to host this auction again. There are many newcomers among you who are elites on the New Star List and may rise to become true powerhouses on the Hundred Dynasties List, so I hope that we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future..."
