Chapter 689: Chapter 680: The Winner

"Fifty million?!"

At this moment, whether it was the Mad Taoist or Daoist He,

both of them could not help but frown.

Clearly, the bid from Mo Wangchen had shaken them internally.

The price was obviously not something that just anyone could casually call out.

Even for the two of them, the number of Spirit Stones they carried was nearly the same amount.

"Young friend, you really spend generously. I’m becoming more and more curious about your identity,"

the Mad Taoist laughed heartily and spoke again, "This time I didn’t bring many Spirit Stones with me, so my bid is fifty-two million Spirit Stones. If the young friend can offer a higher price than this, then it seems I’m destined to miss out on the Four-Leaf Ginseng."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent; fifty-two million was already considered a sky-high price.

It was not difficult for them to discern that this was the Mad Taoist’s limit. If Mo Wangchen could offer a bid higher than fifty-two million Spirit Stones, then the Four-Leaf Ginseng would probably end up belonging to Mo Wangchen, right?

"Fifty-four million, that’s my bottom line," said Daoist He, bidding before Mo Wangchen could speak.

At this moment, everyone’s gaze was focused within Booth Number Six where Mo Wangchen was located.

Now that Daoist He had bid fifty-four million, it signified that the fight for the Four-Leaf Ginseng no longer involved the Mad Taoist.

If Mo Wangchen could offer a higher price than the fifty-four million Spirit Stones from Daoist He, then, undoubtedly, the Four-Leaf Ginseng would truly belong to Mo Wangchen.

After all, Daoist He had himself just declared that fifty-four million was his limit.

Originally, the auction for the Four-Leaf Ginseng was estimated to reach a top price between thirty and forty million.

Yet, unexpectedly, it had been driven to over fifty million, and naturally, Mo Wangchen was the variable in this equation.

Everyone was deeply curious about the identity of this mysterious youth in white clothes inside Booth Number Six.

He first did not hesitate to offend Bai Le, snatching away the much-desired Qiongqi Essence Blood, then he bought the ten drops of Rejuvenation Water, angering Bai Le to the point he walked away, and now, he’s bold enough to compete with two well-known alchemists from the Central State, fearlessly.

Most importantly, he was great with money, extravagantly wealthy, which made even long-established Alchemy Dao Masters like the Mad Taoist and Daoist He concede.

"Fifty-four million already, can he offer an even higher price?"

Everyone’s gaze was focused, their hearts full of doubts.

"It doesn’t seem likely, right? After all, buying the Qiongqi Essence Blood and the ten drops of Rejuvenation Water must have cost him over sixty million Spirit Stones. How could he possibly still carry so many Spirit Stones?"

Many people clearly did not want to believe this, as the price was truly astonishing. They had never heard of anyone carrying over one hundred million Spirit Stones while traveling.

Even for a Sacred Land, it would be quite a challenge to produce over one hundred million Spirit Stones at once.

"If that’s the case, then today, I would like to thank the two seniors for stepping aside, sixty million!"

While the crowd was abuzz with discussion, they heard the voice of Mo Wangchen lightly coming from Booth Number Six.

"Hisss!"

As soon as he spoke, a chorus of gasps echoed throughout the venue.

Shocked expressions appeared on everyone’s faces as they looked incredulously towards where Mo Wangchen was.

"Sixty million?!"

"My heavens, does he really carry that many Spirit Stones with him?"

"Including the spirit stones bid for the Qiongqi Essence Blood and the ten drops of Rejuvenation Water earlier, that’s a total of over one hundred and twenty million spirit stones. What an astonishing figure that is," they exclaimed.

"Who is he really? Anyone who can produce so many spirit stones must have an impressive background!" The curiosity about Mo Wangchen surged even stronger among the crowd, but even as they racked their brains, they were clueless about his origins.

"Sixty million spirit stones for the first time."

"Sixty million spirit stones for the second time."

"Sixty million spirit stones... for the third time!"

"Thud!" Lin Xiaxue gently struck down with the small wooden hammer in her hand, the sound faintly echoing throughout the entire auction hall.

At this moment, the struggle for the four-leaf ginseng finally had a victor.

"Young Master Mo, this is your four-leaf ginseng, please keep it safe."

When Lin Xiaxue personally brought the four-leaf ginseng to Mo Wangchen, he had already prepared the spirit stones.

Money was exchanged, and the item was handed over.

After a brief procedure, Mo Wangchen carefully stored away the four-leaf ginseng.

"Is there anything else, Miss Lin?" Seeing that Lin Xiaxue didn’t seem to be leaving immediately, Mo Wangchen couldn’t help but ask with curiosity.

"Young Master Mo... are you from the Northern Immortal Domain?" Lin Xiaxue’s beautiful eyes looked at Mo Wangchen, and she suddenly said such a statement.

"Hmm?"

Hearing her words, Mo Wangchen’s heart stirred, and he frowned as he looked at her, "Some things, Miss Lin, it is best if you alone know them. There is no need to spread them further."

"Young Master Mo can rest assured. At Tianyuan Auction, we have rules for confidentiality regarding our clients. Your identity will not be known to others. I just never imagined that I would have the honor of meeting Young Master Mo at this moment."

Her gaze was intense; as of late, Mo Wangchen’s fame was spreading far and wide, becoming a common knowledge throughout the Vast Heavenly Gang.

It hadn’t been long since the Heavenly God Institute’s examination, yet unexpectedly, this Young God King had already left the Northern Immortal Domain in such a short time to come to this land of Central State where true powerhouses abound.

"Thank you for your kind words, Miss Lin. Perhaps, at the opening of the Heavenly God Institute, we shall meet again. Farewell."

Mo Wangchen stood up from his seat and politely bowed and smiled at Lin Xiaxue.

"Young Master Mo, with your acquisition of the Qiongqi Essence Blood, I fear the Xiaotian Sect will not let this rest easily. Perhaps it would be wise to stay a while longer in Huashen City," Lin Xiaxue suggested kindly.

Considering the murderous intent Bai Le had shown towards Mo Wangchen before, it wasn’t hard to imagine that Bai Le would certainly make a move against him once he left Huashen City.

"Heh, if I choose to leave, who in this world could stop me?"

Mo Wangchen smiled lightly, showing no sense of pressure on his face, knowing that Bai Le was oblivious to his true identity.

Even if he did know, what could he do about it?

Possessing Lin’s True Technique, even if an Ancient King himself were to pursue, it’s uncertain if they could catch up to him. What could a mere Bai Le do to him?

It would be better for all if he didn’t provoke him, but if Bai Le truly decided to ambush him outside of Huashen City today, then he wouldn’t be able to blame Mo Wangchen for his discourtesy.

"Since Young Master Mo feels this way, I won’t insist any further. See you at the opening of the Heavenly God Institute," Lin Xiaxue said, nodding her head. Others might not know Mo Wangchen’s identity, but how could she not?

Just as he had said, within the vast Vast Heavenly Gang, if he wishes to depart, who indeed could stop him?
