Endless light rays enveloped the vast auction site, but even so, they could not outshine those passionate eyes from the Void Great Solar Fruit, as the rareness of it was far beyond the previous Heavenly Fire Chalcedony.

Mu Chen was also staring at the scene. But, he quickly adjusted his mindset with a deep breath. Mu Chen was feeling uptight, as he observed the premises. He noticed some slight commotions coming from those lofts in front of him, as soon as he had completely gathered his vision.

Then, his heart sank. As he had expected, those strong-funding fellows were all eyeing the Void Great Solar Fruit. This natural treasure, known for boosting up the power of spiritual energy, was indeed a strong temptation to all the top powers in the Sovereign-level.

On the auction platform, Mo Qing read the movements on the ground, before he faintly said, “Everyone, we will begin our auction.”

As soon as he finished making his announcement, the entire scene was silent. Seven thousand drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid was no small amount for a starting bid. Thus, not many people could participate in this auction.

Once the auction started, it was natural to observe the situation first. But, the silence did not last for too long, as someone finally shouted out a first bid.

“7,300!”

The one who made the bid was a middle-aged man with a cold face. Apparently, he had some extraordinary combat strength, as he was surrounded by a strong presence of Spiritual Energy fluctuation. But his bid amount did not maintain for too long before it finally got overbid.

“7,500!”

And, again.

“7,800!”

The continuous bidding broke the silence, as the entire auction ground started to get hyped up. A few interested bidders could not hang in there anymore, throwing off their bids for the Void Great Solar Fruit.

Within a few minutes, the bid price soared to 8,500. Some people were envious about the cost of such a vast amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, which was sufficient to speed up their cultivation by numerous times.

The bidding amount went up and up, the number of bidders who could afford such a price being reduced tremendously. But, almost everyone knew that the big players were coming soon.

“9,500.”

When a lazy, yet feminine and soft voice rang out with this new bid, almost everyone looked up at the small loft ahead. A layer of tulle was lifted, and a spellbinding and dazzling face showed up from behind it.

“Look, it’s the Heart Fox Fairy from the Fox Fairy Clan.”

“She is actually interested in the Void Great Solar Fruit.”

With an alluring face that could make any hearts throb, she invited whisperings from the ground, as they had all heard about the great beauty of this spellbinding girl. The auction ground immediately quieted down after the alluring girl named Heart Fox Fairy placed her bid. Even those, who had the previous intentions to bid, stopped, as they did not want to mess with this girl from the Fox Fairy Clan.

Mu Chen could not help but sigh at this scene, as he yelled out, “10,000!”

The commotion soared when his voice rang out with the price. Countless audiences looked into his direction with surprise, finally casting their gazes on Mu Chen, their looks filled with shock and dismay.

Everyone was guessing about his background, as 10,000 of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid was simply not affordable for everyone. Although they looked at him with surprise, he remained calm, fixing his eyes on the Void Great Solar Fruit that was on the auction platform, and not paying attention to anyone else.

Up in the loft, Heart Fox Fairy shifted her peach-eyed enchanting gaze slowly to Mu Chen, looking at him with astonishment. Mu Chen sensed her gaze, then tilted his face and gave her an apologetic smile.

Heart Fox Fairy returned to him her own enchanting smile. Her beautiful eyes flickered coyly, not revealing what she was thinking about. But, judging by her actions, it seemed like she had no intention to continue her bidding.

“Heh, since our Heart Fox Fairy has no great interest in the Void Great Solar Fruit, then allow me to do so.” While Heart Fox Fairy remained silent, a chuckle came from another loft that was not far away. The previous juvenile man, with a soft and cold appearance, walked in slowly, wearing a radiant smile and bowing at Heart Fox Fairy with his fist up.

“Hehe, I have too little capital to compete with all of you. If the Young Hall Master from Xuan Tian Hall has an interest in it, I will gladly withdraw,” Heart Fox Fairy said, as she looked at the juvenile man, then pursed her red lips with a smile.
