Chapter 103 - Ambergris (2/2)

Upon hearing this, the disciples were shocked; Nangong Cheng was shocked.

What’s happening right now?

Why did Old Zhang’s attitude alter so rapidly?

What kind of identity does Qin Nan possess, to be able to receive the Seven-Colored Flower with the price of fifty thousand pills for free?

“Old Zhang, what do you mean? It has always been the one with the highest bidding price to get the piece of treasure in every auction. What rights does he have to get the Seven-Colored Flower for free?” Nangong Cheng demanded in a harsh tone.

After all, he had planned to get the Seven-Colored Flower beforehand. If Qin Nan were to outbid him, it was still acceptable, but now the item was taken by Qin Nan for free, how would he accept that?

Old Zhang’s attitude became firm as he said, “This is the order of the sect. Enough with that, let’s move on to the next item!”

Following this, the attractive lady appeared once again, together with the next item.

After seeing this, the disciples glanced toward Qin Nan differently now; being able to cause Nangong Ershao to be banned from entering the Treasure Vault for the rest of his life, and now completely gaining the upper hand against Nangong Cheng, along with receiving the Seven-Colored Flower for free, showed how extraordinary Qin Nan’s identity was.

Nangong Cheng’s face was contorted, but he did not lose his ability to think; he now realized that Qin Nan’s identity was nothing ordinary.

“I’ll remember what you did to me this time. I’ll make you pay when the time comes!” Nangong Cheng stared at Qin Nan furiously, before taking a few deep breaths trying to calm himself down.

Meanwhile, the auction continued and the previously silent hall turned lively once again.

When the twentieth item came out, Old Zhang’s pitch went high as he yelled out, “This will be the second best seller of our auction, known as the Ambergris. When it’s ignited, it will release a unique scent, which aids one to improve his Martial Realm. For example, if one is at the Perfection Stage of One with the Weapon, with this Ambergris, he has a great chance to achieve the Arcane Realm! The bidding starts now, with the base price being ten thousand Xiantian Pills!”

After hearing this, the crowd of disciples went mad, as they all locked their gazes onto the Ambergris on display.

Compared to the Seven-Colored Flower from before, it seemed like this Ambergris possessed an even greater value.

“I bid eleven thousand Xiantian Pills!”

“Fifteen thousand, I bid fifteen thousand pills!”

“Screw you all, it’s been half a year since I reached the Greater Success Stage of One with the Weapon, unable to proceed to the Perfection Stage. This Ambergris is just what I need; I’ll bid eighteen thousand!”

……

After a while, the bidding price of the Ambergris had increased to twenty-five thousand Xiantian Pills, with no sign of stopping.

Upon seeing this, Nangong Cheng ran out of his patience. He had achieved the Perfection Stage of One with the Weapon a year ago, with no sign of improving to the Arcane Realm. If he were to get his hands on this Ambergris, he would surely achieve the Arcane Realm, boosting his strength insanely.

“Eighty thousand Xiantian Pills!” Nangong Cheng rose up from his seat and yelled.

His words caused everyone’s face to be twisted. Either Nangong Cheng’s identity, or the bid of eighty thousand Xiantian Pills, was out of their range of affordability.

“Junior Brother Qin Nan, this Ambergris is incredibly rare. If you don’t get it this time, you will have a hard time finding it again. If you’re interested, you’re free to compete with me…” At that instant, Nangong Cheng glanced toward Qin Nan; his eyes were filled with a hint of provocation.

According to Nangong Cheng’s prediction, even though Qin Nan’s identity was enough to take the Seven-Colored Flower for free, that would be his limit—he would not be able to take a second one.

If not, it would become a great loss for the Treasure Vault, wouldn’t it?

“Senior Brother, you’re right. If that’s the case, this Ambergris is now mine.” Qin Nan nodded his head and said.

“Yours? Why is it yours before you tell us your bid?” Nangong Cheng felt irritated after hearing this, “You’ve already taken the Seven-Colored Flower, do you really think you can take this Ambergris…”

Before Nangong Cheng could finish his words, Old Zhang declared with a loud voice, “The Ambergris belongs to Qin Nan. Let’s proceed to the next piece of treasure.”

After hearing this, Nangong Cheng halted his sentence, as he was left completely stunned on the spot.
