Chapter 190: Chapter 6 Overwhelming Power! Celestial Human Family_2
It is believed that the interest alliance with Wang Shouzhe at its core will become increasingly united and powerful, able to contend even with Celestial Human Families.
As the sailboat continued on its journey, it docked at the deepwater harbor of the East Sea Guard.
On the dock, a gorgeously dressed young man in his thirties was waiting, followed by several attendants.
Upon seeing Chen Fangjie, he greeted him with a smile, "Brother Fang Jie, it’s been a long time."
Then he turned his gaze to Wang Shouzhe, and his eyes flashed in surprise. He never expected such a young nobleman to already be at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm.
Moreover, the two elder guards beside him were extraordinary, their auras profound and lengthy, even he, who had just advanced to the Spirit Platform Realm, found them unfathomable.
Immediately, he revealed a warm smile, "This must be Young Master Wang from Lingbei, right? I am Tantai Heyu, just call me Heyu."
"I am Wang Ziteng, nice to meet Brother Tantai." Wang Shouzhe greeted elegantly, exuding the demeanor of a noble family young master.
After brief exchanges.
Tantai Heyu led the group into the best restaurant of the East Sea Guard.
What naturally followed was a round of enthusiastic hospitality.
The details will not be elaborated further.
Several days later.
East Sea Guard, Hundred Treasures Pavilion.
With Tantai Heyu’s arrangements, Wang Shouzhe’s group was naturally seated in one of the best private rooms, waiting for the upcoming auction.
Meanwhile, various wealthy patrons were arriving in droves.
This auction had many rare items, attracting many noble families from nearby cities around the East Sea Guard, though most could only sit in second-tier private rooms.
Only two groups piqued Wang Shouzhe’s interest.
One group, led by a middle-aged gorgeously dressed man, exuded a grand aura, accompanied by two Spirit Platform Realm cultivators.
The leader of the other group was a charming woman, equally imposing, surrounded by numerous guards.
When these two groups met outside the private room, tension immediately flared up.
The charming woman first sneered, "Oh, isn’t this Liu Kangping, the patriarch of Chuyun Liu Family? Are you here for the Bone Marrow Purify Pill too? I advise you to give up. Your useless son is better off being replaced with a new one."
The Chuyun Liu Family was a renowned Celestial Human Family in the Chuyun Guard, with a long history and formidable strength.
The middle-aged man Liu Kangping’s face turned cold, "So it’s Lady Bilian with your big mouth. Which family’s pretty boy have you taken a fancy to this time? Spending on a Bone Marrow Purify Pill to win someone over?"
Lady Bilian chuckled, "I want to, and as long as I’m here, it won’t be your useless son’s turn."
Liu Kangping retorted with a cold smile, "Then let’s watch and see, I hope Lady Bilian has enough money ready."
After exchanging a couple of barbs, both groups returned to their private rooms.
They hadn’t concealed their words, so Wang Shouzhe heard everything clearly. Evidently, these two groups were his strongest competitors.
However, he had been waiting for news about the Bone Marrow Purify Pill for years and was determined to succeed, undeterred even by the Celestial Human Families. Moreover, with the enhancement of his bloodline from the Bone Marrow Purify Pill, he was confident in winning the second round, ensuring no loss.
The Bone Marrow Purify Pill was exceedingly expensive, and even a Celestial Human Family found it challenging to purchase one easily. A casual purchase could severely injure their primordial qi.
The auction quickly began.
One by one, Heavenly and Earthly Treasures were presented, each fetching from hundreds to thousands of Qian Gold, quickly being snapped up.
This time, the East Sea Guard’s Hundred Treasures Pavilion brought out quite a number of good items to establish their name.
Neither Wang Shouzhe nor the other two groups had made a bid.
An hour later.
The auctioneer started bidding for the Bone Marrow Purify Pill.
"The Bone Marrow Purify Pill is a sixth-grade spirit pill, starting at ten thousand Qian Gold."
"Twelve thousand Qian Gold." Without waiting for the auctioneer to finish, Liu Kangping immediately raised the bid.
"Thirteen thousand." Lady Bilian was obviously also determined to win, with ample funds prepared.
The two quickly raised it to fifteen thousand with their back-and-forth bidding.
At this point, their bids became more cautious, increasing slowly by a few thousand.
Under normal circumstances, a Bone Marrow Purify Pill would fetch around twenty thousand, but why not try to get it cheaper if possible? What if the other party hadn’t prepared enough Qian Gold?
Even for a Celestial Human Family, raising twenty thousand Qian Gold at once was no easy task.
"Twenty thousand."
Wang Shouzhe couldn’t bear their slow bidding any longer and directly raised it to twenty thousand.
What?
Neither group expected a third competitor for the Bone Marrow Purify Pill, their faces darkened, but the bidding voice came from the best private room.
The Hundred Treasures Pavilion had rules; without being from a Celestial Human Family, one could not sit in the best private rooms.
This made them wary.
"Which family’s friend are you from?" Liu Kangping asked, "Why not do me a favor and stop here, I’ll bid twenty thousand and one thousand."
"Ha ha, Liu Kangping, you have some nerve, I bid twenty-one thousand." Lady Bilian also said, "I am determined to get this pill, the two of you should back off."
"Twenty-five thousand." Wang Shouzhe couldn’t be bothered with slow bidding, "It’s just fair competition, feel free to continue bidding."
With this, Liu Kangping and Lady Bilian’s faces changed dramatically.
Which Celestial Human Family’s young master was this extravagant? This price left them hesitant. Though the Bone Marrow Purify Pill was precious, it rarely reached such heights.
Nobody’s money came with the wind; this amount could buy many Celestial Spirit Pills!
Moreover, what if this is a setup? If one bids higher and the other party suddenly withdraws, it would be a trap.
They still had some money, but continuing would hurt their primordial qi.
Liu Kangping left the Hundred Treasures Pavilion with a cold face, unable to cause trouble despite being a member of a Celestial Human Family.
Lady Bilian, on the other hand, smiled, "This young master is so generous, which family might you be from? Might I have the honor of a meeting?"
Wang Shouzhe knew of Lady Bilian’s bad reputation and naturally didn’t want to engage with her. What if word reached his wife, and he got beaten?
Wang Shouzhe immediately sneered, "We are fated not to meet, Madam."
"Hmph." Lady Bilian snorted coldly, "Unappreciative." She too left angrily.
Very naturally, the Bone Marrow Purify Pill fell into Wang Shouzhe’s hands! With the Bone Marrow Purify Pill in hand, he couldn’t help but sigh; after being in this world for eight years, he finally had a chance to come up against the Celestial Human Families and come out on top.
He had to admit, it felt pretty good.
After obtaining the Bone Marrow Purify Pill, Wang Shouzhe immediately went for the next item.
...
Three months later.
By the end of August, the weather in the Outer Domain was gradually cooling.
A Primordial Water Spirit Turtle, larger than a small car and weighing several tons, was briskly running along a dirt path, full of energy even under its hefty load.
No choice, its owner’s generosity was overwhelming.
This time, the mission rewards were extremely generous, with Spirit Flesh Spirit Fish offered without restraint.
Following the Primordial Water Spirit Turtle, Ancestor Xuanfu looked on with a peculiar expression.
Six months!
Wang Shouzhe had prepared for a full six months.
Was he going to the Outer Domain or the Demon Realm?
And what all did he prepare? A sedan-like structure woven from vines, securely tied on the Primordial Water Spirit Turtle’s back, forming a mobile house inside which was covered with soft goose down cushions and had a small table set up.
The table was filled with snacks and refreshments.
Her cherished grandniece, whom she had pinned great hopes on, was lazily lying on the cushions, occasionally munching on a piece of fruit, appearing entirely at ease.
"My dear, it’s hard on you to travel to the Outer Domain this time." Wang Shouzhe said apologetically, "Time was short, and I couldn’t prepare sufficiently, the conditions are too basic, truly wronging you."
"No worries, no worries, it’s worth any toil to accompany husband on a quest." Liua Ruolan, while pinching a snack, placed it in Wang Shouzhe’s mouth, "Husband, you’ve toiled preparing for the journey lately." The term "quest" was something she picked up from Wang Shouzhe.
The two showered each other with affection, showing love unabashedly.
Causing Ancestor Xuanfu’s anger to rise steadily, she had painstakingly obtained an Innate Daoist Embryo Spirit Species, aiming to cultivate an unparalleled celestial pride.
Now this precious pride was turned sweetly fragile by that pesky junior Wang Shouzhe?
Most irritatingly, dogs were fed all this affection right along the journey.
For her – still single at over one hundred twenty – it was a tough pill to swallow.
