Chapter 2949: Young Master Tang Ben

The auction started with a true treasure from an Amaranthine Eternal, quite a high starting point .

For many sects, an artifact of this level would be their defining treasure . Most wouldn’t even have one .

Only first-rate sects had access to something like this .

The starting price was already 300,000 stones, effectively eliminating many members of the audience from bidding .

Nevertheless, there were still more than one thousand members who were at least at the Eternal level .

“310,000 . ” Someone bid .

“350,000 . ” Another immediately followed up .

“380,000 . ” 

It didn’t take long before the bid went up to 1,000,000 - more than three times the starting price . This was only the beginning as well .

Many were left speechless after seeing this, especially those from a humble background .

These cultivators from a second-rate or third-rate sects found 300,000 stones to be a monstrous sum already, let alone 1,000,000 . These big shots treated money as if it was nothing .

“So many rich people here . ” The first-timers sighed in admiration, having broadened their horizon .

“This is nothing yet . The powerful emperors and Everlastings haven’t joined . Just wait, you’ll be amazed in no time . ” Someone next to him said .

The first-timers agreed with this statement . Sure enough, the ones in the pavilion didn’t bother looking at this treasure, clearly not impressed by it .

Finally, it was sold for 1,230,000 stones . This final price was above the pocket of some sect and clan masters .

They initially thought that the items they wanted would only go for one to two million stones at best . Now, just the first has already reached this mark . Those later should demand a much higher price .

The second item was a young bird with a golden, fiery peak . It had scaly-looking feathers on top of a serpent-like tail .

“Golden-beak Crimson Crow!” A sect master immediately recognized the bird and shouted . This attracted the attention of the crowd .

“You have good eyes, Sect Master Yun . ” The auctioneer gave him a flirtatious glance: “This is a three-month-old Golden-break Crimson Crow, pure in bloodline since we incubated it ourselves . It is still wild with a very thin strand of the phoenix bloodline . Once matured, there is a chance that it might become a Golden-break Divine Crow . It starts at 500,000 coins . Same 10,000 increase . ”

A few emperors and Everlasting finally glanced down, seemingly interested in this young bird .

“600,000 . ” One Everlasting from the last generation bid 100,000 over the starting price .

“1,000,000 . ” Another did a huge jump . This massive price increase excited the crowd .

“What? A regular spot?” People were surprised to see that the bidder was sitting in a normal chair on the ground .

They saw a youth wearing expensive clothes, trying his best to ostentatiously display his wealth . He didn’t care that it was an Everlasting bidding earlier .

“Worker, I want to be a VIP right now!” He shouted .

Some older experts slightly frowned with disapproval in response . Everyone knew that money alone wasn’t enough to receive a VIP letter from Arrogance; one needed enough power to back it up .

However, if one spent enough at the auction, they could gain VIP status at the discretion of the auctioneer .

“Honored guest, reaching the next status requires spending two million and up on a winning auction . ” A worker answered the arrogant youth .

“1010,000 . ” Another sect master bid .

“2,000,000 . Anyone else wants to play?!” The youth shouted .

“2,100,000 . ” One unhappy Eternal grimaced and said .

“3,000,000 . ” The youth acted as if he had too much money to spend . The crowd became astonished .

No one else joined because this price exceeded the value of this particular bird . After all, it wasn’t easy to improve the bloodline of this bird .

“Worker, get me up there now!” The youth impatiently said .

“Crack! Crack! Crack!” The youth was teleported to an empty seat in the front row .

This seat then started morphing into a more extravagant chair, the same type enjoyed by the sect masters .

As long as one paid enough money at the auction, they could show off and sit down on the same level as other masters or even emperors . This was the power of money . One could buy glory and honor from it .

“Worker, I want to go up there where the emperors are . ” The youth was clearly unhappy about just being in the front row and pointed up at the sky .

“The Eternal level is 30,000,000 stones . The emperor level requires imperial stones - 5,000,000 and up . ” The worker answered .

“Okay, let’s go, hurry . ” The youth said before looking at the auctioneer and revealing: “Beauty, I, Tang Ben, like sexy girls like you the most . ” 

“You’re too kind, Young Noble Tang . ” The auctioneer politely smiled, ignoring the improper comment .

The third auction item was finally brought onto the stage - a pill bottle .

“These are Energy Consolidation Pills refined by Blazing Master, suitable for older Eternals . 30 pills in total, 800,000 to start, 10,000 minimum increase . ” The auctioneer said .

“850,000 . ” One Eternal said .

“900,000 . ”

“1,000,000 . ”

“2,000,000 . ”

The Eternals started bidding since the auctioneer was right . These pills were perfect for older Eternals who have reached their cultivation limit . They required external help in order to break the bottleneck .  

Meanwhile, Blazing Master was a famous Alchemist in Immortal Lineage . His pills were rare and expensive, normally already sold the moment they came out of the cauldron . Thus, all these Eternals wanted to jump in .

“8,000,000 . ” The rich youth named Tang Ben eventually bid .

Everyone became curious about his identity and stared at him .

No one else joined in after this bid so he won it . This continued for several more auctions .

Finally, his status rose again as his chair turned into a floating throne . Now he was on the same level as the other Eternals .

“Not bad, a much better view . ” He seemed quite pleased with himself .

This pompous act earned him some disdain from the crowd . In their eyes, this Tang Ben was nothing more than an uneducated parvenu .

However, it was quite strange for him and his family to have this much money . He didn’t receive an invitation letter so his clan shouldn’t be prestigious .

A few Eternals activated their heavenly gaze in order to look at him . They found that his cultivation was nothing unexpected .  

How did he get so much money then? His background and cultivation were both mediocre .

“There’s something strange about this brat . ” The bull said .

Li Qiye only chuckled and didn’t respond .

This general confusion permeated the crowd but no one said anything .

Tang Ben won the next several items as well . This infuriated some of the cultivators who really came specifically for the auction .

“Yeah, I have money . What about you?” He taunted at the experts glaring at him .
