There were waves of discontent and noise from the audience, but the host on the stage seemed not to hear anything. He still had a professional smile on his face and spoke slowly in his deep and rich voice:
"Lot No. 16, a female slave born in the Yin year, Ding Si month, Xin Hai day, Ding Wei hour, 16 years old at the time, has been tested to be a useless spiritual root with no cultivation, and a pure Yin body. Starting price is 10,000 crystals."
The host's statement quieted the crowd's originally noisy voices, and then even more heated discussions broke out.
"Oh my god, it's actually a pure Yin constitution! Doesn't that mean it's an excellent furnace cauldron?"
"I said that Taotie Restaurant would not cheat us, no wonder it became the finale of tonight!"
"As long as I have her, I will be able to break through the bottleneck that has been holding me back for so long! I will give her one hundred thousand crystals..."
"I'll give you two hundred thousand yuan!"
"I'll give you 500,000..."
The warriors present were all immersed in the shock brought by the Pure Yin Furnace and were scrambling like crazy, but no one noticed that the girl in the golden cage slowly opened her eyes after frowning in pain.
Those inconspicuous phoenix eyes suddenly shone brightly like pearls, overflowing with brilliance, and coldly glanced at the noisy crowd below.
At this moment, someone in the crowd shouted at the top of his voice: "I'll pay 10 million yuan, and this woman must be mine tonight!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience fell silent.
A fat man staggered to his feet from the front row of the auction venue and walked towards the golden cage on the stage with a smug smile on his face.
The dazzling light in the center of the venue shone on him. He was only about six feet tall, with a face full of fat so that his eyes were almost invisible. His waist and abdomen were thicker than an old lady's chest. When he walked, the fat all over his body trembled, which was disgusting to look at.
But who among the people present dared to laugh at him? Even after he made his bid, no one dared to compete with him.
This man was named Zhu Chongba, the late son of Zhu Yiqun, the richest man in Jinling.
Although merchant families have always been looked down upon in Jinling, a city that values military power, the Zhu family is different.
The cultivation and advancement of warriors cannot be separated from Yuanjing, and the Zhu family started out by digging Yuanjing. They control several mines and have close ties with the royal family. Even if someone covets it, they dare not act rashly.
Zhu Yuanba is a well-known idiot in Yanjing City, but he is a rich man. After all, the Zhu family has everything they need, including Yuanjing!
"Master Zhu, congratulations, with this pure Yin physique furnace, your advancement is just around the corner!"
"Master Zhu has made a breakthrough, so please remember to treat us to a drink!"
…
The compliments and envy from the crowd made Zhu Yuanzhang even more elated. With his round belly like a watermelon, he swaggered up to the host without waiting for the auction to end.
"Wu Yu, quickly hand over the slave card to this young master. I will take the person back first, and my men will bring Yuan Jing over later!"
It is against the rules to pick up the person first and then pay the money at an auction.
But this host known as Wu Yu did not seem to be displeased at all, and readily handed the slave card to Zhu Chongba.
However, no one noticed that a meaningful smile flashed across his eyes. "Master Zhu, the slave card is handed over to you, which means that the auction item belongs to you. After the goods are sold, they will no longer have anything to do with Taotie Pavilion!"
Zhu Chongba didn't care what he said, he took the slave card and rushed towards He Xi in the cage: "My dear, here I come... As long as you let me advance to the foundation-building stage, I will let you be my ninth concubine!" (To be continued)
