Emperor Qiankun

Chapter 425 The Blood Poison Old Monster Doesn't Give Me Face?

However, even so.

There are still some troublemakers stirring up trouble, constantly driving up prices and trying to push them even higher.

They are like ghosts hiding in the shadows, occasionally popping up to shout out.

This further fueled the already tense and fierce bidding atmosphere.

It is unknown whether these people were secretly arranged by the demon race of the Northern Sea;

Or is it that someone from one of the major families or powerful forces is deliberately stirring things up to gain even greater profits...?

------

Soon, the price skyrocketed, reaching a high of three million high-grade Xuan Crystals.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the auction room became increasingly tense.

The originally lively and noisy bidding gradually subsided, with only a few bidders still making sporadic bids.

Every bid was made with extreme caution, as if the slightest misstep would lead to utter ruin.

Li Qingyuan's eyes were sharp as he stared intently at the "Perilla Spirit Bud" on the auction stage, secretly calculating the opportune moment.

He knew that this was the crucial moment that would determine the outcome, and it was time for him to make a decisive move.

So he took a deep breath, straightened his back, and made his first bid:

"Three million and two hundred thousand."

With that shout, he immediately increased the price by 200,000!

Like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, it instantly stirred up a thousand waves and caused a commotion among the audience.

The crowd began to whisper amongst themselves, and murmurs of discussion rose and fell.

"Who is this person? How can they be so generous!"

"They've suddenly raised the price by 200,000; it seems they're determined to win!"

"..."

------

However, before the commotion subsided, someone immediately placed a bid in a private room on the third floor:

"Three million three hundred thousand."

The voice was steady and powerful, yet it seemed to carry an unquestionable authority.

These words sparked another round of discussion.

All eyes turned to the private room on the third floor, trying to find out the identity of the person who made the bid.

Throughout the entire process, Li Qingyuan remained calm and observed the situation on the field.

He knew in his heart that there were some tough nuts to crack.

The other party probably desperately needs this "Perilla Spirit Core" and will not give it up easily.

But he was not one to give up easily; he was determined to get this herb!

Therefore, after that person finished calling out the price.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Qingyuan immediately transmitted the message via the conch shell, her voice firm and resolute:

"Three and a half million."

The exorbitant price, uttered by Ao Ni Chang, was like a thunderclap in the auction hall, instantly plunging the room into chaos once more.

Suddenly someone exclaimed in surprise:

"My God, three and a half million! That's insane!"

"This herb is precious, but it shouldn't be worth so many Xuan Crystals, right?"

"It seems that both sides are well-off. Today's auction is going to be quite interesting."

"..."

Some people were whispering:

"I wonder who will ultimately benefit from this herb. It's something to look forward to."

......

------

But the person on the other side was still relentless, like a beast that had been provoked, and went completely "crazy"!

They didn't hesitate to continue bidding.

"Three million eight hundred thousand!"

This time, the person did not conceal their identity.

The voice was old and hoarse, yet it carried a chilling power.

Immediately following this was a powerful pressure that spread out like an invisible mountain pressing down on everyone's hearts, making it hard to breathe.

He was none other than a powerful expert at the Emperor Realm!

Then his voice continued, carrying a hint of pleading and threat:

“Fellow Daoist, my name is ‘Blood Poison’, please give me some face.”

“I have a friend who is suffering from a rare poison and urgently needs this medicine. I hope you will be kind enough to help me. I owe you a great favor.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge uproar erupted in the room.

A look of horror appeared on everyone's faces, as if they had remembered something unbelievable.

Suddenly someone cried out in terror:

"What? It's actually the 'Blood Poison Old Monster'!"

"He's a powerful expert at the Emperor Realm, and he's ruthless and acts eccentrically. Why would he be here today?"

"I heard that his friend was poisoned in a very difficult way, no wonder he was willing to pay such a high price for this herb."

"This is troublesome. Now that Blood Poison Old Monster has shown up, who else dares to compete with him?"

Another murmur arose, and the entire auction hall descended into chaos.

......

------

In the private room on the second floor where Li Qingyuan was, the tranquil atmosphere was instantly shattered by the sudden name "Blood Poison Old Monster" coming from the third floor.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of Su Yaoyue and the other two women in the private room all changed drastically.

Her once rosy cheeks turned deathly pale in an instant, her beautiful eyes were filled with surprise and fear, and her body trembled slightly involuntarily.

Li Qingyuan and the others, however, remained calm and composed.

It was as if the name "Blood Poison Old Monster" was merely a breeze brushing past their ears, without stirring up the slightest ripple.

Li Qingyuan keenly noticed the three women's unusual behavior, turned his head slightly, and asked with a hint of doubt in his eyes:

"What's wrong with you? Is this old man famous?"

His voice was steady and calm, standing out particularly well in the slightly chaotic atmosphere.

Su Yaoyue and the others immediately began to explain, as if spilling beans.

It turns out that this "Blood Poison Old Monster" has an extremely powerful background.

Like a deeply rooted, intricately intertwined evil tree, it has a complex web of relationships.

Its actual strength is even more formidable.

As a late-stage Emperor Realm expert, he can unleash earth-shattering power with every move, inspiring awe in all who behold him.

What's even more terrifying is that this person has killed countless people with extremely cruel methods and a vicious nature!

He acts without any scruples and uses any means necessary to achieve his goals!

Whether innocent civilians or heroes of the land, anyone who dares to disobey will suffer at his hands.

His infamy spread like a black whirlwind throughout Zhongzhou.

Those who heard of it were terrified and avoided it at all costs.

It seems that as long as you get involved with him, you will fall into an abyss of no return.

......

Upon hearing this, Li Qingyuan simply nodded, a resolute glint in her eyes, without the slightest hesitation.

He decisively picked up the conch shell, focused his sound into a line, and projected the sound through the conch shell:

"Four million high-grade Xuan Crystals!"

Ao Ni Chang received the news instantly and immediately spoke up in a clear voice.

The voice, like a nightingale's song, echoed throughout the auction house.

In an instant.

"Wow—"

There was an uproar in the field.

The previously noisy discussion came to an abrupt halt, and time seemed to freeze at that moment.

The faces of the crowd were filled with shock and disbelief.

Even the Blood Poison Old Monster pleaded with them and revealed his name...

This is a figure with a formidable reputation in Zhongzhou, yet someone still doesn't give him any face?!

This guy is incredibly audacious; he must be tired of living!

Aren't you afraid of being retaliated against by that Blood Poison Old Monster and ending up dead without a burial place?

Everyone turned their attention to the private room on the third floor, whispering and discussing among themselves.

"Who on earth is this person? How dare he offend the Blood Poison Old Monster like this? He probably doesn't know the meaning of death!"

"I think he doesn't want to stay in Zhongzhou anymore. After the auction, Blood Poison Old Monster will definitely not let him go."

"This is going to be interesting. I wonder how this old monster will respond. Will he raise the price again, or will he just kill him and steal the medicine?"

"..."

Various speculations and discussions rose and fell in the auction hall, like surging waves, one after another.

......

------

On the third floor, in a refined yet somewhat oppressive private room.

An old man sat upright on a high seat in the center, his posture as straight as a pine tree, yet he exuded a chilling majesty.

The siren servants stood bowed to the side, only able to catch a glimpse of the old man's slightly hunched yet still imposing back.

At this moment, the air in the private room seemed to freeze, so stuffy that it was hard to breathe.

The siren's servants felt an invisible pressure pressing down on their hearts like a boulder, almost suffocating them.

The old man was eerily quiet!

Like a volcano about to erupt, no one knows what turbulent events will unfold next.

From what could be vaguely seen in front, the old man's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot after hearing the sounds coming from outside.

Those already deep eyes now blazed with fury.

It's unclear whether the dark complexion is due to anger causing blood to rush to the head, or whether the stubborn poison is acting up again...
