Immortality Starts From Making Money.
Chapter 125: The Auction!

Chapter 125: The Auction!

Finally, it was the day for the most anticipated Thousand Wealth Chamber auction.

Almost everyone in the commerce district had heard of the defeat of the Artifact Refining Vice Hall Master.

Thus, it became the most anticipated auction in the capital, even though the Golden Pavilion announced its once-a-year auction.

It did not get the attention like the Thousand Wealth Chamber.

In front of the Thousand Wealth Chamber auction building, thousands of people had already gathered.

To the dismay of the audience, in order to have the chance to participate in the auction—

Someone must come from a notable clan, chamber, or possess one hundred million middle-grade spirit stones.

Apart from middle-grade stones, they also accepted high-grade spirit stones.

Their requirement shocked everyone. How could a new chamber have such an unreasonable condition?

This is ridiculous!

What is this? This is segregation! They are looking down on those that do not have money!

Why! Why can’t we enter? Even the Broken Moon and Golden Pavilion do not have such conditions!

The crowds ranted, their grievances apparent on their faces. But there was nothing they could do as they looked at the Peak Core Refining Guard protecting the entrance.

Even a fool knew causing a problem only meant one thing: death!

While the ordinary people were complaining, clan masters with their young masters and young misses from the affluent clans arrived one after the other, and they were allowed passage.

In the capital, the most notable clans were: the Gao Clan, the Ma Clan, the Cai Clan, the He Clan, and the Dong Clan.

These clans had legacies that spanned a couple of centuries.

Look. The Ma Clan has arrived.

Huh! Is that the famous young master from the Nine Mountain Sect?

Yes! I heard he has broken into the Intermediate Core Refining Realm!

Listening to the gossip, the Ma clansmen did not show any change of expression. Their faces were etched with pride and arrogance that belied their clan’s fame.

Shortly after the Ma clansmen entered the auction, the Gao clansmen arrived in silver robes.

Quickly, they caught everyone’s attention.

Eh! Their matriarch is going to attend the auction.

What is going on? Why would such a powerful expert participate in this ordinary auction?

Gao Matriarch, in a loose gray robe, led the Gao clansmen with an indifferent expression on her face.

It was as if there were no people around her.

Just as the Gao clansmen entered the auction, the He Clan and the Dong Clan arrived almost at the same time.

The two clans glared daggers at each other for a moment. A thick tension permeated the air, and the chatter around them disappeared.

Would the two clans continue their rivalry in such an important event?

The crowd thought, their hearts pounding heavily with nervousness. Suddenly, the He Clan Master snorted and led his clansmen forward.

Seeing this, the Dong Clan Master snorted, disdain etched on his face.

When the crowd saw the two ticking bombs not exploding, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The rivalry between the two clans had been going on for as long as people could remember. Everyone had become numb to it.

Finally, the last of the most powerful clans arrived—the Cai Clan. They were a neutral clan and were loved by everyone.

Shortly, the Golden Pavilion leader arrived with great fanfare.

This is getting ridiculous!

Why are all these powerful leaders participating in this auction?

Perhaps, there is something going on we don’t know.

After the Golden Pavilion were elders from the Jade River Exchange. Just seeing these influential figures shocked the crowd to the core.

On an ordinary day, they would not have the privilege to see such powerful figures. And now, they were popping out one after the other.

Is it really for the legendary artifact? The never-seen artifact.

The crowd had not gotten over their shock when the Broken Moon Consortium arrived. Their group was mostly filled with women, and only a few men were among them.

Do you think their mysterious leader is there?

I don’t know. But with everything we’ve seen so far, I won’t be shocked if she is there.

You’re right, we can’t rule it out.

Ah! Who would have expected such an ordinary chamber could have these powerful figures come out.

While they were discussing the Broken Moon Consortium, the Hall Master and elders from the Artifact Refining Hall arrived.

Huh!

The chatter vanished immediately. All eyes were focused on them. Behind the Hall Master was the Vice Hall Master, Elder Yuan.

This time, he had lost his arrogance and looked older.

As for the elders, each of them wore an expressionless face.

Until they entered the auction, no one dared speak.

Huh! Why do you think they are here?

Of course they will be here. Since their Vice Hall Master was defeated by the Thousand Wealth Chamber, they would be burning with curiosity and filled with vengeance.

I hope this auction goes smoothly.

I hope so.

With the arrival of the Artifact Refining Hall, the Alchemist Organisation arrived, followed by other halls and guilds.

The arrival of all the various Hall Masters of these organisations made the air thick with tension.

Even though the crowd was not part of the Thousand Wealth Chamber, they could feel the weight of the pressure on their shoulders.

If the Thousand Wealth Chamber did not meet the expectations of these leaders, they could forget about existing in the capital.

Perhaps, they wouldn’t even be able to keep their lives.

After the big guns arrived, the smaller and middle clans joined the auction. Although one hundred million spirit stones was a lot of money—

For a medium-sized clan, it was not impossible for them.

Suddenly, a luxurious carriage arrived. When the crowd saw the insignia, they held their breath.

From the carriage, an elderly woman came out. She wore an approachable smile and walked toward the auction.

She did not have any guards or come with the younger generation. She was alone.

It was after her departure that the frozen crowd began to speak in a loud voice.

My gosh! That’s...!

Who would have expected...the Governor’s Mansion to send their Chief Maid.

This is getting complicated! I need to leave.

With her around, the Thousand Wealth Chamber is in trouble.

While they were discussing the Governor’s Chief Maid, two women arrived dressed in long blue robes. They wore cold, expressionless faces.

Looking at the two beautiful women, the crowd was confused.

Who are they? they all thought.

Just as they were wondering who they were, another group arrived. They were surrounded by a powerful aura.

Looking at the insignia on their robes, the crowd gasped in disbelief.

What! They are from the Nine Mountain Sect!

Really! The Nine Mountain Sect!

"Hahaha. I did not expect two Frost Moon Sect elders to come to this auction," the middle-aged man leading the Nine Mountain Sect said with a sneer.

What! The Frost Moon Sect!

The crowd looked at the two women in shock. As for the elders from the Frost Moon Sect, they disdainfully glanced at the Nine Mountain Sect team and ignored them.

"You! "The Nine Mountain Sect leader was furious, but he controlled his impulse.

He led his team into the auction. Let’s see what this mortal chamber is all about before I deal with those hags.

With the arrival of the two most powerful sects in the region, the people were numb from too much shock.

Then, the Wind Spirit Sect arrived. The crowd was not too surprised this time around. They looked at them and wondered what was really going on?

Meanwhile, inside the auction room, a deafening silence permeated the air. Everyone held their breath, looking around.

Anyone that could enter was no ordinary person.

The arrival of the three powerful sects increased the tension in the atmosphere.

Against the three sects, the influential clans were nothing in their presence.

Only the Governor’s Mansion, occupation halls, and some of the pavilions with deep roots stood a chance against them.

However, what shocked everyone inside the room was—there was no special seat for anyone.

They all sat in the same seats like ordinary people.

Some grumbled inwardly but did not voice their complaints. For a chamber to use a Peak Core Refining warrior as a mere guard was a clear message.

Calmly, everyone waited for the auction to start as they all focused their attention on the podium.

From the side door, a middle-aged woman came out and walked toward the podium.

Instantly, all eyes focused on her. Immediately, they detected she was no ordinary woman. She was also a Peak Core Refining Realm warrior.

Why are there so many Peak Core Refining Realm warriors in such an ordinary chamber? they couldn’t help but think in shock.

At the entrance, there was a Peak Core Refining warrior guard, and now, the auctioneer was another Peak Core Refining warrior.

Even those with nefarious thoughts had to reconsider their actions.

"Hello everyone, I’m Sun Na, your auctioneer for today," Sun Na announced with a light smile plastered on her face.

Looking at the various powerful people, she was not for once intimidated. Compared to the force backing her Young Master, they were nothing.

She straightened her posture and continued, "I know you all must be wondering what this legendary artifact is."

"We, the Thousand Wealth Chamber, do not deal with ordinary things. We’re too prideful for that. So, if you came expecting cold weapons or some such, you must be mistaken."

When the crowd heard this, they creased their brows, and a deep frown appeared on their faces.

If they were not going to sell weapons and others—what were they going to auction?
