Supreme Dragon Martial Soul-Chapter 240: Break Arms and Legs, Bid!

"Senior Sister! Luo Cheng’s situation looks a bit dire. That Cheng Gong is narrow-minded and definitely won’t let things go lightly!"

Several disciples of the Luoxia Sect, including Guo Qing and Yan Qingshuang, had already arrived at the auction house. They had witnessed the earlier confrontation between Luo Cheng and Cheng Gong and couldn’t help but feel concerned for Luo Cheng.

Yan Qingshuang chuckled lightly and said, "Just say what you want to say directly; why beat around the bush? After the auction ends, go find Luo Cheng and ask him to travel with us."

"Hehe, thank you, Senior Sister!"

Guo Qing’s face lit up with joy.

On the other side of the viewing area.

Ren Qian saw Luo Cheng entering the VIP suite and furrowed his brows tightly:

"What kind of trash is he to be allowed into Lingyun Pavilion’s VIP room!"

The auction house had only three VIP suites, reserved exclusively for the wealthy or powerful.

Not even his elder brother Ren Xiaoguang would qualify to enter one.

Cheng Junxian, recalling the wealth Luo Cheng had forcibly taken from him, looked displeased and said coldly:

"During the Martial Arts Square duel, he looted so much money that his net worth is likely over a billion! Spending a few million taels to access a VIP suite would be nothing for him."

"Using our money to flaunt his wealth—this guy deserves death!"

Ren Qian clenched his fist before turning to Qin Ming, saying, "Qin Ming, once the auction ends, make sure to find a way to kill that bastard!"

"If the opportunity arises, I’ll take action," Qin Ming replied flatly. Ren Qian’s commanding tone irked him slightly, but due to Ren Xiaoguang’s influence, he couldn’t dismiss it.

Ren Xiaoguang was among the top twenty talents in the Outer Sect, a favored disciple of Qi Guyun. Once Ren Xiaoguang entered the Inner Sect, he could provide Qin Ming some protection.

Taking out someone like Luo Cheng wouldn’t be troublesome—just a small effort.

Seeing Qin Ming agree, Ren Qian turned his gaze back to the suite where Luo Cheng was and smirked sinisterly, contemplating how he would deal with him later.

Should he break Luo Cheng’s arms and legs first?

Or cut off his nose and ears?

Or maybe do both?

Inside the suite.

Luo Cheng sat comfortably on the Demon Beast Skin Soft Chair, munching on exquisite pastries, oblivious to Ren Qian and his companions’ thoughts. Even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.

He was pondering what to purchase soon.

Including the one billion one hundred million taels pre-allocated by Lingyun Pavilion, he now had a total of one billion two hundred million taels.

With the Outer Disciple Competition approaching, he must utilize this wealth to quickly enhance his strength.

"Cultivation is the foundation. Only with improved cultivation can overall strength be elevated. For now, I’ll focus entirely on advancing my cultivation realm!"

After a moment of reflection, Luo Cheng swiftly made his decision.

Aside from reserving three hundred million taels to bid for the Flame Trace Sword, he planned to spend the remaining nine hundred million taels on Soul Crystals and Spiritual Medicine for nourishing blood energy!

Each layer of Tongxuan Realm cultivation emphasizes different aspects.

The First Layer involves opening the Essence Energy Mansion for Qi Refinement, refining Essence Energy, and cultivating the Essence Energy Vortex.

The Second Layer focuses on enhancing blood through opening the Heart Life Gate, requiring nourishment for blood and flesh to strengthen the essence!

Nurturing blood energy with Spiritual Medicine can significantly speed up the cultivation progress for Tongxuan Realm Second Layer martial artists!

As for Soul Crystals, they not only accelerate the speed of breakthroughs but are also indispensable for cultivating the True Dragon Technique!

Half an hour later, the auction hall gradually quieted down.

From behind the auction table in the circular grand hall, a curvaceous figure emerged—it was the steward Ye who had previously welcomed Luo Cheng.

Ye clapped her hands, and the Luminous Pearls across the auction hall instantly illuminated the venue.

The walls in front of Luo Cheng’s suite turned transparent, allowing him to view the entirety of the auction hall.

Clearing her throat, Ye offered a warm smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Lingyun Pavilion! I am Ye Yan, the auctioneer for today’s event!"

"For this auction, Lingyun Pavilion has prepared a variety of valuable treasures. I hope everyone finds items to their satisfaction."

"Steward Ye, hurry and start the auction! We’ve been waiting for over ten days!"

"Indeed!"

Seeing the eager expressions of the crowd, Ye Yan smiled slightly: "Alright, let’s not waste any more time. We’ll begin with the first item for auction!"

As she finished speaking, a young woman with a veiled face and a stunning figure stepped out from behind the auction table, holding a gold-inlaid Jade Plate with a book placed inside.

"The first item for auction is a Hand Technique Secret Manual called Floating Palm! Its grade is Three-star Top Grade! When cultivated to Perfection Realm, it can unleash thirty-six rapidly-changing handprints. Combined with Body Method Martial Arts, it becomes incredibly unpredictable and hard to defend against."

"The starting bid for Floating Palm is 1.4 million taels! Each increment must be no less than 10,000 taels."

"I bid 1.5 million taels!"

"1.8 million taels!"

"Damn it, I bid 2 million taels! Don’t anyone dare compete with me!"

As Ye Yan finished speaking, the atmosphere in the auction hall immediately became heated, with bids flying back and forth.

Luo Cheng observed the bidders, noting they were mostly rogue martial artists from the Jianghu.

It was unsurprising—Outer Sect disciples had access to Intermediate Martial Arts as long as their cultivation was sufficient. Low-level Martial Arts like this were often deemed beneath them.

Jianghu martial artists, however, relied entirely on themselves. Most practiced One-star or Two-star Martial Arts, which were considered poor-quality, even rudimentary.

A Three-star Top Grade Martial Arts manual was genuinely appealing to them.

This disparity explained why rogue martial artists were often no match for sect disciples in terms of overall strength.

Aside from talent, the quality of the techniques and martial arts they practiced made all the difference.

Ultimately, Floating Palm was claimed by a burly man with a face full of scars for 2.5 million taels.

Luo Cheng couldn’t help but be surprised.

A Three-star Top Grade Martial Arts manual was typically valued at around 1.6 million taels at most, with prices rarely exceeding 2 million taels. The final purchase price was exceptionally high!

The auction forged ahead.

The following items were relatively ordinary but consistently fetched extraordinary prices.

The bidders seemed like rabid wolves, driving the prices higher and higher!

Luo Cheng watched, secretly astonished, realizing the fierce competition of the Martial Artist World. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

This struggle extended to every aspect—wealth, Spiritual Medicine, Martial Arts, cultivation techniques, treasure weapons, and even status and reputation.

If you don’t fight for it, you simply hand over chances to grow stronger to others!

Item after item was sold, including some Luo Cheng had brought for auction.

"The twenty-eighth auction item is the Three-star Top Grade Treasure, the Rock Splitting Spear! This spear contains a trace of thunder energy and is of excellent quality, with a starting bid of 9 million taels, and increments of no less than 100,000 taels!"

As soon as Ye Yan finished speaking, a cold voice rang out.

"I bid 10 million taels!"

Wow!

The crowd immediately erupted into chatter.

Starting off with a million-tael increase—was this person incredibly wealthy?

Luo Cheng, however, merely smiled.

He instantly recognized the voice—it belonged to the spear’s former owner, Cheng Junxian!

"10.5 million taels!"

After a brief silence, someone raised the bid.

Without hesitation, Cheng Junxian countered, "12 million taels!"

A jaw-dropping increase of 1.5 million taels left the rogue martial artists stunned. Sect disciples were undeniably wealthy!

In the end, the Rock Splitting Spear returned to Cheng Junxian.

Holding the spear again, Cheng Junxian showed no trace of happiness. His expression was as dark as could be.

12 million taels was a hefty sum for him!

Moreover, the spear had originally been his. Now, he had to pay to reclaim it—his heart bled!

Ren Qian glanced at Luo Cheng’s suite and said, "Don’t worry, he won’t be laughing for long. Once the auction ends, he’ll pay back tenfold or a hundredfold!"

Cheng Junxian’s gaze turned icy as he nodded.

The auction went on, and Luo Cheng had yet to participate, until the forty-third item hit the stage—his eyes lit up.
