"The item in this box is known as Dragon Birth Grass," the elder began, pointing at the herb, "which I’m sure many of you here have heard of. It is a Spiritual Medicine only found in dragon nests, and once consumed and refined, it can seep into one’s bloodline and increase the strength of one’s body several times over. It is arguably the most perfect Spiritual Medicine for enhancing the body!"

"Dragon Birth Grass!"

"Who is this madman that actually ventured into a dragon nest?"

"No matter what, I must buy it. This Dragon Birth Grass is extremely useful even for saints."

"I have to get my hands on it. With this Dragon Birth Grass, my strength could increase exponentially!"

Numerous voices rose, each expressing intense interest in the Dragon Birth Grass.

"The starting bid is one hundred thousand Nine Tripods Pills!"

The elder, seizing the moment amidst the buzz of conversations, announced the price.

Before his words could fade, they were drowned out by countless bids.

"I bid one hundred thousand!"

"One hundred and fifty thousand!"

"Two hundred thousand!"

This Dragon Birth Grass was a true treasure; not only did it have no side effects when consumed but it could also enhance the body’s bloodline.

One should know, the bloodline of a true dragon is the most noble, and once a Martial Artist infused the power of Dragon Birth Grass into their system, their strength could be greatly increased.

"One million!"

Chu Fengmian made a move, boldly offering a price that immediately escalated the bidding to one million.

Suddenly, a fivefold increase and everyone’s eyes turned towards Chu Fengmian.

"Box number thirteen, such an auspicious number."

"I wonder which distinguished person this is, but one million Nine Tripods Pills to purchase this Dragon Birth Grass is simply impossible."

Just as the murmurs began, even higher bids were called out.

"One million five hundred thousand!"

"Three million!"

Chu Fengmian was not one to take such things lightly and swiftly doubled the bid once again.

Such a bidding style was akin to treating Nine Tripods Pills as mere trinkets.

"Four million!"

The voice that had just bid rang out again, now with a tinge of anger in its tone.

"I don’t know where this friend is from, but this Dragon Birth Grass has been specifically requested by the Zhao Family’s Grand Marshal of Soldiers and Horses. Please give us some face and back down."

Suddenly, a voice emerged from box number seven. Upon hearing the title of Grand Marshal of Soldiers and Horses, many changed their expressions in shock.

"It’s someone from the Zhao Family!"

"It’s over; looks like all the good items will be bought by the Zhao Family again."

"Do you think the person in box thirteen will still dare to compete?"

"Impossible, who would dare to contend with the Zhao Family?"

Countless voices spoke up, filled with disappointment. With the Zhao Family present, all the good items at this auction were bound to be swept away by them.

Countless times before, the Zhao Family had effortlessly cleared out auctions, with no one daring to compete.

The Zhao Family’s status was now sky-high within the Qin Emperor’s nation, virtually on the verge of replacing the royal family. Who would dare rival the Zhao Family?

"Grand Steward, it seems no one dares to compete with you now."

Inside box number seven, numerous people stood, with a well-dressed middle-aged man seated at the highest place, surrounded by numerous maids attending him as if he were an emperor.

He was the center around which all others revolved. Many of those standing were Martial Artists at the Wind-commanding Realm; yet now, they stood at his side like mere attendants, showcasing the formidable nature of this leading figure.

"Hmph, let’s see who dares to compete with our Zhao Family," the Grand Steward said calmly. "This time at the auction, I will buy all the treasures. With the start of the Six Kingdoms’ campaign, we too must strengthen ourselves."

"Whatever you encounter, feel free to buy it, using the Zhao family’s name, those people wouldn’t dare to compete."

"Exactly, our Zhao family will soon become the rulers of the Qin Emperor’s nation, who would dare to offend us?"

Another disciple of the Zhao family spoke up, clearly proud of his origins.

"Logically speaking, with the Grand Steward’s presence, all treasures should be willingly offered up at this auction, without us having to bid."

A disciple of the Zhao family said arrogantly.

"No matter, the Nine Tripods ancient city still has some old folks, but once we’ve placed our bids, let’s see what those old folks can say. Whoever dares to compete with me is asking for trouble with the Zhao family and brings disaster upon themselves."

The Grand Steward said confidently, not believing anyone would dare to contend with the Zhao family.

"This voice, it must be Zhao Xiong, the Zhao family’s Grand Steward,"

Qian Ya reminded, upon hearing the voice.

"So what if it is Zhao Xiong, following the orders of the Zhao family?"

"How does that matter? There is nothing I desire that anyone can stop me from acquiring."

Hearing the words "Zhao family", Chu Fengmian was even less concerned, thinking of how today he would fiercely slap the Zhao family’s face.

"Ten million Nine Tripods Pills!"

Moved by a thought, Chu Fengmian made an even bolder bid.

This stirred up the already calm crowd into a new uproar.

"Another bid has been made. The person in the number thirteen booth, are they not afraid of the Zhao family? Daring to compete with them!"

"Interesting, truly interesting! I thought this auction would surely be dominated by the Zhao family, but I never expected such a twist."

The crowd began to discuss animatedly.

In box number seven.

A disciple of the Zhao family slammed the table and stood up, saying furiously,

"Grand Steward, who is this person daring to compete with you? I’ll ask the higher-ups of the Nine Tripods ancient city who this person is, seize him, bring him before you to be executed, and make him apologize with his death!"

The Zhao family had always been domineering, rewarding those who complied and destroying those who resisted. No one had ever dared to snatch something they wanted.

"Exactly, we can also report this to the family, pressuring the city to seize this person!"

Another Zhao family disciple suggested, with everyone chiming in one after another, their words filled with vicious intent, seemingly eager to tear Chu Fengmian to pieces.

"Quiet!"

With a cold snort from Zhao Xiong, the Grand Steward, all the Zhao family disciples immediately fell silent.

"Interesting! I want to see who would dare to compete with me!"

Zhao Xiong’s mouth curled into a chilly smirk.

"Eleven million!"

"Twenty million!"

Chu Fengmian didn’t hesitate at all. As soon as Zhao Xiong spoke, he nearly doubled the price.

"Twenty-five million!"

Zhao Xiong spoke again, his voice now containing a trace of anger.

However, the voice of Chu Fengmian came through once more.

Others might fear the Zhao family, but he certainly did not!

He would acquire this Dragon Birth Grass today, even if a Saint came to compete for it.

"Fifty million!"

He nearly doubled the bid again, firmly suppressing Zhao Xiong’s offer.

"Fifty mil..."

"One hundred million!"

With a composed expression on his face, Chu Fengmian didn’t even let Zhao Xiong finish speaking before placing a bid, doubling the price once more in a single breath.
