Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch. 412 - First Meeting of Zhang En and Ming Zhi
"1 million."
Someone from the crowd immediately shouted.
"3 million!"
"8 million!"
"10 million!"
"50ty million!"
After the first bid, many more shouts followed like waves from behind and the price continued to rise.
Sitting inside his private room, listening to the voices calling out the ever-increasing price, a wry smile flashed across Zhang En's face. Indeed, it was he who agreed to give the freedom to bid a price for the item now, money was just a number to him and now he had a lot of money in the coffin of the Ice World Treasure that was mounting.
When the bid price reached a hundred million, it quickly surged to a billion in a short period of time. When it reached a billion, the Besae Clan watching from their respective private rooms began to join in the frenzy of bidding, turning the price even more frightening.
"12 billion." From private room 8, Ming Zhi sounded.
The final bid was 6 billion, and Mingzhi's bid suddenly pushed the price to six digits in the billions, causing the hall to go silent.
"15 billion." After a moment of silence, from private room number 3, a sharp cold voice belonging to a woman sounded.
"18teen billion!" The person inside the private room number 2 shouted.
"20ty billion!" A sharp glint flashed in Ming Zhi's eyes.
"22 billion!" The voice came from the four private rooms..
After its price exceeded ten billion, some of the powers from the first-rate Clans sitting in the auction hall had stopped competing. Its price quickly skyrocketed, exceeding twenty billion.
Sitting inside his private room, Zhang En frowned at the moment despite the price offered increasing and he wondered 'Could it be that the demonic woman did not know of the auction for a saint grade spirit stone and therefore did not come here...?'
If this was the case, then it wasted its purpose by taking out a saint grade spirit stone for this auction. Zhang En then lightly squeezed Lie Hue's hand, his eyes showing regret.
Lie Hue simply shook her head, giving her a soothing smile, “It's okay. Even if the Demon Lady does not come, I will still cultivate diligently so that I can awaken my Star Body.”
That was when the sound of knocking came from the door of their private room.
"Lake in." Zhang En said from inside his room.
The person who entered was one of the supervisors of the auction house. He faced Zhang En as he spoke, "Special Master Lin Ming said that Senior Demon Lady is here, in VIP room number 3."
“VIP Room 3!” Both Zhang En and Lie Hue trembled slightly as excitement appeared on their faces. As long as that demonic woman appeared, the other matter would be much easier.
A short while later, the bidding price for a saint-level immortal spirit stone reached the 60 billion mark.60 billion had far exceeded the price limit set by many people from the Great Clan. Even so, there were still people willing to offer higher.
Inside VIP room number 9, Ming Zhi's face was extremely grim. This time, he had only brought in 50 billion, when the bid had exceeded that range, he could only give up. But, he did not want to give up just like that.
“At first, I didn't plan to do anything during the competition between disciples in the Fire Spirit Sect a few years later, but since you asked for it, I will personally deal with this matter. Zhang En, I want your life! I will tell you the consequences of offending me! ” He gritted his teeth, his voice sounding cold as if piercing to the bones of two old men who were nearby
In the end, a saint grade spirit stone reached a sky-high price of 70 billion, but was purchased by a guest in VIP private room number 2.
The guests inside private room number 2 were from the Du Clan.
With that, this year's auction event has finally been completed.
Knowing that Mad Woman had appeared and been invited to Lin Ming's VIP room, Zhang En could finally relax a little.
However, the moment Zhang En and Lie Hue walked out of the VIP room of the auction, they crashed into the three people from the Sky Dragon Sect, Ming Zhi, and the two old men escorting him.
Ming Zhi reached out, blocking the path of the two people, her tone cold and condescending as she asked, "Are you the one named Zhang En..?"
This was Zhang En and Ming Zhi's first meeting.
Zhang En glanced at the other party's clothes and sneered, “Good beasts won't get in the way, if nothing else you say, please stay away from me.”
The two old men behind Ming Zhi were instantly enraged. While Ming Zhi's face reddened as his trembling finger pointed at Zhang En angrily, “What did you say? You must be Zhang En. Alright, at first I didn't want to do anything in the competition between your inner disciples in a few more years, but now, you really have made me angry. In a few more years, I will personally crush you like an ant..!”.
Passersby stopped to watch and listen to what was going on.
"That looks like a disciple of the Heavenly Dragon Sect Master, Mingz Zhi...?"
"Ming Zhi's? If I am not mistaken, they say he is a genius in this century and is already a Second Star True God realm cultivator.!”.
The people around whispered and breathed.
Listening to the whispers around him, Zhang En seemed to put on a cold face. He did not expect the young man in front of him to be Ming Zhi whom his Master had told him about.
" Zhang En, we have targeted to obtain the beast's core, sell it to us now and we are willing to give you 3 billion. In the future disciple competition within your Sect, our Young Master can save your life. ” One of the old men standing behind Ming Zhi said coldly as he glared at Zhang En.
“What....? Do you think I'm an idiot??! Your brain must've been damaged from getting too old.. I paid 30 billion for the beast core I got and you want me to sell it to you guys for only 3 billion?" Zhang En looked at the old man as if he was looking at a stupid man.. "Are you a stupid human being?"
"You....!!" The old man's face reddened, his eyes spurting flames of anger, and his killing intent pierced through his body..
"Why? Do you want to fight?" Zhang En scoffed.
They were in Spirit City. If the other party dared to make a move, Zhang En was confident he could make this old man lose his life in this Spirit City.
The young man named Ming Zhi had calmed down now, raising his hand to stop the old man from acting recklessly. He was still staring at Zhang En with angry eyes, he calmly spoke, “Even without the beast core, I can still flatten you with one finger, like an ant.”
His eyes then shifted towards Lie Hue by Zhang En's side, "Your lady is not bad, enjoy the last days of your life in these few years.."
"Let's get out of here." Ming Zhi said and walked away.
Zhang En watched the silhouettes of the three men leave. He acknowledged that this Ming Zhi was indeed very powerful, but a few years later, who would be defeated with a single finger like an ant was still undetermined.
