Harness Cultivator

The crowd became agitated when they realized their ears didn't hear wrongly.

The flying treasure was indeed priced at 1 spirit stone. 

"Without further ado, I announce the auction begins now!" Liu Meng shouted loudly as she slammed a miniature hammer down at the table-top desk.

A small bang sound was created, and multiple people quickly began raising their hands and shouting numerous prices.

"I bid 20 spirit stones."

"I shall bid 2,500 spirit stones."

"Hmph, you low-life really think you can obtain a flying treasure with that much amount? I bid 300,000 spirit stones."

Within a few minutes, from the initial 1 spirit stone, the bidding had already increased to the thousands.

It was close to reaching millions, and Liu Meng couldn't help but laugh wickedly.

'Ahh~ people are really hilarious. Now that we had set the price to only 1 spirit stone, everyone thinks it's a bargain and would dump hundreds of millions in it.' 

Meanwhile, back in the VIP Section, Zhao Qiang stroked his beard as he laughed heartily while staring at Madam Liu.

"You are really a businesswoman, Liu Ying." Zhao Qiang commented.

Madam Liu raised an eyebrow.

"I'm no businesswoman, Zhao Qiang. I'm merely a warm and loving mother for Xiao Tao." She covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

Zhao Qiang nodded his head.

As much as he wanted to expose her. He didn't wish to anger her nor cause any misunderstandings in their relationship.

"Since you had already said it like that, Liu Ying. Then I would refrain from saying anything further." Zhao Qiang said as he glanced at his daughter.

Madam Liu showed a bright smile as she thanked him for understanding.

'Tonight's show is all for Lee Tao. As a mother, it'll be my greatest wish to see him succeed.' 

"Anyway, aren't the other guests here interested in the flying treasure?" Madam Liu suddenly asked as she turned around and glanced at the other people in the VIP Section.

The people all stood up and cupped their fists as they answered politely.

"We thanked Madam Liu's concern. However, we don't wish to bid so early since that would ruin the fun of those people downstairs."

"Un, Old Man Chan is right. If we start bidding, then the price would instantly soar to hundreds of millions, and possibly even billions. We should let the other people play around for now."

Madam Liu nodded her head in understanding.

"Then I shall wish you all good luck in obtaining the flying treasure." Madam Liu said gently.

And she continued, "Since you're all VIP guests, I should let you in on a secret. The flying treasure could be a key to one a tomb belonging to a Heaven Spirit Realm cultivator." 

The atmosphere instantly changed as the VIP guests' expressions turned ashen white.

"Tomb of a Heaven Spirit Realm cultivator…" As one person finished mumbling his words, he realized the others had already started joining the bid.

"Chen Tong from the Chen Clan has bid 300 million spirit stones." Old Man Chen shouted through a specially designed transmission.

As VIP guests, it was only natural that they would receive something special when calling for a bid.

Meanwhile, Liu Meng was dumbstruck when the VIP Section had already started bidding.

'The bidding is still nowhere near 100 million spirit stones… Why did the VIP guests start bidding now?' She wondered silently.

However, as a professional and beautiful auctioneer, she didn't question him and simply announced Chen Tong's bid aloud.

"Patriarch Chen Tong had bid 300 million spirit stones. Are there any higher bidders than him?" Liu Meng shouted gracefully.

The moment they heard 300 million spirit stones, most of the original bidders were disappointed as they took a seat down.

Although they could be counted as wealthy, when compared to the enormous Chen Clan, their wealth was nothing but a droplet of water in an ocean.

"Sigh, why did Chen Tong have to come in and crush our dream…"

"I know right… he didn't even need to embarrass us like that. We may not be as powerful as them, but we still have some reputation in our clan."

"It is what it is. We are merely a fish in a small pond. Even if we can bid higher, I'm pretty sure Chen Tong and the other VIPs would raise the bid by tenfold to squash us."

As most of the original guests gave up the bidding, Chen Tong smiled cheekily.

'Heh, at least these people know not to mess with my Chen Clan. A key to a Heaven Spirit Realm tomb… how can I give those up?' He sneered inwardly.

Liu Meng glanced around for a few more seconds, hoping for some last-minute bidder.

Alas, none were willing to bid against Chen Tong.

Without any new bidders, Liu Meng had no choice but to start counting down.

If the count reaches three times, then the item would now belong to the latest bidder.

"300 million spirit stones going once…"

"300 million spirit stones going twice…"

Liu Meng paused for a brief moment before opening her mouth again.

Her hand was raised up as she prepared to slam the hammer down to end the bidding section.

"300 million spirit stones going thrice-"

"Halt, I shall bid 500 million spirit stones."

Right when Liu Meng was about to end the bidding section, a new bidder arrived, and it was coming from the VIP Section.

Meanwhile, Chen Tong was enraged as he glared angrily at the person who had raised the bid.

"Old Man Gao, didn't your clan have a flying treasure already? Why are you bidding against me?" Chen Tong shouted.

Gao Lao, who was the Patriarch of the Gao Clan stroked his beard in response.

"Kekeke, doesn't the Chen Clan also have a flying treasure as well?" Gao Lao asked in humor. 

Chen Tong gnashed his teeth as he pointed his finger at Gao Lao.

"Hmph, I knew your Gao Clan was a bunch of shameless people." Chen Tong sneered coldly as he raised the bid as well.

"I bid 400 million spirit stones."
