Chapter 2343 2317 Gengjin Essence (Six Updates)
Chapter 2343: Chapter 2317: Gengjin Essence! (Six Updates) Chapter 2343: Chapter 2317: Gengjin Essence! (Six Updates) Ye Chen had already offended quite a few celebrities at the banquet, and what if he added most of the geniuses from the Profound Ascension Rankings present?
Then, Ye Chen would be directly confronting more than half the people in the auction house!
For Ye Chen, this would not be favorable either during the auction or in the future circumstances!
After all, this was the Lingwu Continent, ruthlessly harsh, where sometimes the reason for killing you could be as simple as you saying something you shouldn’t have.
“You’re saying…” Ye Chen pondered for a moment and then answered indifferently, “It seems that’s the case. In my eyes, perhaps only the top ten geniuses from the Profound Ascension Rankings have some strength!”
Ye Chen was not oblivious to the purpose of Guo Rong’s question, but he didn’t care.
Why didn’t he care?
If you have the strength, when you encounter a trap prepared by others, you just crush right through it; what will be shattered is the trap, not you.
Ye Chen saw things very clearly—he would say yes if he thought yes and no if he thought no; there were no convolutions around it.
Should he, clearly surpassing most primordially gifted individuals on the Profound Ascension Rankings, still act modestly with them and even start flattering one another?
Ye Chen most detested such things; they were meaningless.
But, he could think this way, others could not!
After confirming he hadn’t misunderstood, Chen Zhifan couldn’t help but show a bitter smile shaking his head.
Even Li Yanxi and Guo Rong were somewhat shocked by this!
Ye Chen, he really dared to say it!
And at the auction, those people, looking at Ye Chen, their expressions had changed, they had grown colder!
Most of the wealthy descendants were used to that set of social interaction involving mutual flattery; naturally, they didn’t take well to someone as assertive as Ye Chen, who spoke without any reservations.
And those geniuses from the Profound Ascension Rankings?
They were directly provoked!
Suddenly, several powerful auras surged within the auction hall, these proud geniuses barely restraining their urge to discipline Ye Chen, to make this newcomer to the Profound Ascension Rankings learn the meaning of heaven and earth’s vastness!
Then, Ye Chen somewhat impatiently waved his hand and said, “Is this what you came here to talk about? If you want to chat or argue, sorry, I’m not interested. You can leave now.”
Guo Rong’s eyes grew colder, even murderous intent seemed to seep out; being a top-thirty genius of the Profound Ascension Rankings, having great relations with the North Sea Xu family, and a newcomer from the Divine Fire Academy dared to speak to him in such manner?
But in the end, Guo Rong just snorted coldly and walked away, finding a seat to sit down.
After all, the auction was about to begin, and even he did not dare to cause a scene at this moment, which would be equivalent to offending the Tianchen Auction.
However, once seated, a cold smirk lifted the corners of Guo Rong’s mouth; he knew that sooner or later Ye Chen would pay the price for his arrogance and ignorance.
Just then, a young-looking man with white hair and dressed in the Tianchen Auction’s standard white robe walked up to the auction stage, smiling at everyone:
“Hello everyone, I am the host of this auction, my name is Huang Wenxin.”
Upon hearing this, everyone was invigorated!
They had waited for so long, and finally, it was about to begin!
Once Huang Wenxin saw that everyone in the audience had focused their attention on him and quieted down, he gave a slight smile and continued, “Next, the Tianchen Auction will officially start. Before we begin, I must explain the rules of our auction to everyone.”
As he spoke, Huang Wenxin pointed at a bizarrely shaped exotic beast statue located on the armrest of everyone’s seats, saying:
“Firstly, I would like everyone to place their storage bags, which contain the Divine Cloud Stones, into the beast pattern of this Taotie Statue. This is a special spiritual artifact used by all the major auction houses in the Divine Kingdom. Its function is to check the amount of funds you hold, but rest assured, we will not know the exact amount.
The Taotie Statue will only sense when you make a bid. If your bid exceeds the funds you have, the Taotie Statue will sound an alarm. This is to prevent malicious bidding and to protect everyone’s interests.”
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded and followed the instructions to place their storage bags into the beast pattern, naturally hoping to avoid any malicious bidding.
After seeing that everyone had placed their storage bags within the beast pattern, Huang Wenxin smiled and said:
“Then, I will not keep you all in suspense any longer. I presume you are all eager to begin? Without further ado, please welcome our exhibitor, who will showcase the first item of the Tianchen Auction!”
Huang Wenxin’s tone was enthusiastic, instantly raising the atmosphere of the venue. The crowd of famous personalities and talents appeared somewhat excited and eager to participate.
Soon, a stunningly beautiful woman in her late teens, clad in a fiery red cheongsam with slits reaching up to her waist, pushed a delicately designed cart onto the stage with a smile.
The cart’s surface was covered with a layer of white cloth, which seemed special as it appeared to block the detection of divine souls. Underneath this white cloth was the first item!
At this moment, everyone was staring intently at the white cloth. Huang Wenxin did not immediately reveal the item but continued with a smile:
“This is our first item, with a starting bid of fifty thousand Divine Cloud Stones! And there are a total of thirteen items in this auction!”
The audience was stirred. Fifty thousand Divine Cloud Stones for the first treasure? That was a sky-high price for many powers!
Yet this first treasure was merely the appetizer of the auction, intended to whet everyone’s appetite; it was probably the least valuable of all items.
This indicated that the Tianchen Auction was truly no ordinary auction.
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Huang Wenxin was quite pleased. With a nod, the woman in the cheongsam swiftly unearthed the white cloth from the table.
In the next moment, everyone felt a slight sting in their eyes!
However, what they saw was an unremarkable piece of dark black metal.
The crowd seemed somewhat disappointed. Was this worth fifty thousand top-grade Divine Cloud Stones?
Only one person showed a subtle expression of extreme desire—Ye Chen!
Ye Chen stared intensely at the piece of dark black metal and asked Six Paths Sword God in his heart, “Master, is this metal possibly…”
Six Paths Sword God burst out laughing, “Correct! This metal is Gengjin Essence! With your current physical strength, ordinary Gengjin, even of the highest quality, cannot enhance your constitution any further. Only this Gengjin Essence will be effective!
These so-called people of the Divine Kingdom do not recognize its true value! They have not identified this as Gengjin Essence, which is why they are auctioning it at such a low price. Boy, this is a fantastic item! Bid on it! You’re going to make a huge gain!”
