Zhao Chongjian was stunned,

    What are you up to, kid?

    He wanted to admonish Chen Yi, to stop him, but it was already too late,

    On stage, Host Ye had already called out: "Guest in Private Room No. 3 has bid 520 spirit stones, anyone willing to offer more?"

    "520 Spirit stones, once!"

    There was a collective fury below the stage; a Foundation Establishment cultivator was cursing loudly:

    "Zhao Chongjian, are you trying to inflate the price and fool us?!"

    "Fine, take the lousy fish back yourself. How delightful it must be to spend 520 spirit stones to buy a fish your family caught!!"

    "What''s the matter, if you can''t afford it, admit it. Make another bid, if you bid high enough, we might just give it to you!

    The fish caught by us must be bought at auction even if a family member wants it, this just proves our selflessness!

    Wouldn''t it be better for me to save one for him directly at home?

    Stop labeling everything as inflated prices, if you''re poor, admit it, don''t look for excuses!"

    In front of everyone, Zhao Chongjian had no choice but to retort.

    The Foundation Establishment cultivator below was so angry he was near death, but he thought that Zhao Chongjian was just trying to lower the price by bidding high. He didn''t fall for it and didn''t continue to bid,

    He looked on coldly, watching that unknown kid (Chen Yi, with his 18-year-old face and the strength of the Fifth Layer of Qi Cultivation, was just a child in their eyes) pay 520 spirit stones and take the demon carp away.

    Actually, Zhao Family''s blatant price inflation falls within the conduct violation rules announced by the auctioneer,

    However,

    The Zhao Family is one of the hosts. As for the ones who were cursely yelling, they were all Foundation Establishment big shots. The auctioneer did not understand the grudges here,

    Moreover, since Zhao Chongjian''s argument seemed somewhat reasonable, the auctioneer turned a blind eye,

    After all, they could not be annoyed.

    On this side, Chen Yi felt much relieved after getting the mid-tier demon carp.

    Hehe, competing for items amid many Qi Cultivation masters, Foundation Establishment big shots, and many Body Cultivators was truly dangerous,

    Luckily, he had the Zhao Family Head there to cover him.

    Behind him, although Zhao Chongjian was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he sweated a lot under the angry glares of the Body Cultivator and Foundation Establishment cultivators,

    How did he manage to almost ruin the reputation of the Zhao Family so inexplicably?

    After calming down, Zhao Chongjian felt unhappy and coldly asked Chen Yi:

    "XiaoChen, why did you buy this demon carp? Couldn''t you discuss your demands with the family? If you have a good reason, we could have reserved one for you. Now, in front of everyone, you''ve almost caused the Zhao family a disgrace!"

    Chen Yi explained:

    "Because of my inferior Spiritual Root Qualifications, the progress of my Turtle Breathing Technique is slow. I want to use this demon carp to make medicine, to clear the spiritual roots and meridians, so as to speed up my Cultivation level..."

    Hearing this, Zhao Chongjian''s expression softened slightly, he glanced at his own daughter, and roughly understood what Chen Yi was thinking,

    Chen Yi''s cultivation progress was slow, while his daughter is already at the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation, he is worried that he won''t be good enough for his daughter, huh.

    Snorting coldly, Zhao Chongjian didn''t say anything else.

    Chen Yi didn''t go on to explain why he didn''t ask the Zhao family for a demon carp either,

    Who doesn''t want to increase their spiritual root cultivation level quickly? But this demon carp is worth hundreds of spirit stones. How could the family be willing to spare it for the children of the clan?

    Not to mention Chen Yi, who is an alchemist from outside the clan.

    Chen Yi didn''t say this, nor did Zhao Chongjian,

    But the look he gave Chen Yi still showed his opinion, you, an alchemist, are so rich?

    Humph, it must be my daughter''s elbow turned out. These years of running the store have given Chen Yi quite a bit of advantage.

    At this point, the auction had already started for the second demon carp, and someone had already called out more than 400 spirit stones,

    This has greatly inflated the price of the demon carp, which was eventually sold for an astronomical price of 500 spirit stones,

    Chen Yi originally wanted to bid again to grab one more,

    But was promptly stopped by Zhao Chongjian:

    "Don''t compete anymore, otherwise, of the three demon carps that our Zhao family took out, if two are taken back by us, what will people say about us?"

    Chen Yi had no choice but to give up.

    The other two Red Blooded Demon Carps, one was won by an unknown Body Cultivator, and the other was won by Ye Huanhuan of the Ye Family.

    Next came a variety of auction items, from Martial Methods to Magical Instruments to Heritage, everything kept coming,

    Chen Yi just watched without making any more bids, the Martial Methods in the current Immortal Cultivation World were not that attractive to him,

    Unless he comes across ones that also exist in the Martial World, then he can study one or two for cross-verification.

    Zhao Chongwen of Zhao family, however, spent 700 Spirit Stones to secure a high-quality Magical Instrument with formidable power,

    As for Zhao Chengjing, she bought a main ingredient for a Beauty Pill, for which she spent over 100 spirit stones and was criticized by Zhao Chongjian, S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    "You only know how to vanity, in front of Cultivation, appearance is nothing, if you don''t reach Foundation Establishment, a hundred years later you are all but dry bones, wouldn''t it be better to do something else with these spirit stones?"

    But Zhao Chengjing insisted on buying it, she was not too anxious about her appearance,

    But seeing that Chen Yi''s appearance has not changed in more than a decade due to the practice of the Turtle Breathing Technique, she still felt urgent,

    She must keep her in her twenties look, so she can accompany Chen Yi in the longer term.

    "The next item up for auction is an Array Method, obtained by the Tan Family''s Law Enforcement Team when they killed a sinful cultivator,

    Its function is a bit... special.

    This Array Method is called Transforming the Mundane Into Spirit, mainly because it uses demon beasts and other things as raw materials. After being incorporated into the array, it transforms into spiritual energy and is released,

    The maximum release power can reach the degree of the First Tier spiritual vein, of course, this requires a Second Tier demon beast as material,

    This array is suitable for Loose Cultivators without spiritual veins or Immortal Cultivation families,

    The starting bid is 300 spirit stones, and each increase in bid must not be less than 20 spirit stones."
