Chapter 682: Chapter 682: Heartthrob
But this time, in order to stir up conflict between Yang Chuan and other factions, he glanced at Yang Chuan’s secret but held himself back from speaking out.
Compared to the Honor Group’s newly gathered forces...
Thinking of this, the figure slowed his gaze, coldly sneering atop the attic where Yang Tian was, and reached out his hand.
While the figure waited for Yang Chuan, Qingming and Liu Hai were also watching with anticipation during the New Year’s commotion.
Even Pu Tong personally rushed forward and said to Yang Chuan, "My Lord, this is..."
"I don’t care!"
Before the central hall session ended, Yang Chuan replied indifferently.
However, upon hearing Yang Chuan’s words, even his parents were shocked, exclaiming, "What, My Lord? How could you not care? This is the new group!!"
"So what? Want it, go for it!"
Yang Chuan said calmly, casually discarding the jade bottle and stepping toward Fu Qingming.
The blue figure paused, staring at his expression, unable to comprehend his face, utterly bewildered!
In that very second, he saw dozens of jade bottles within his grasp, the most precious among the auction items gathered—those lost to Yang Tian—were all supreme treasures!
How could this not utterly shock him?
"My Lord, this..."
Seeing the accumulated Divine Group in his hands, Qingqing paled for a long moment before exhaling shakily.
"If you’re fond of refining them, take them!"
Yang Chuan let out a scoff and closed his eyes.
Void Cultivation Technology was also Void Lecture Technique!
Refining was possible even amidst trials.
Mr. Li’s Divine Group, which Yang Chuan hardly delayed using on Earth, seemed different.
The Ma Realm’s material groups were distinct, leaving him baffled!
Thus, for Yang Chuan, was there any fruit or medicine worth refining personally?
The blatant schemes of initial players at the auction venue appeared pitiful, with Yang Tian’s plans rendered entirely useless!
Indeed, Yang Tian stalled on his side, making no movements. Initially, no one in China seemed bothered, but as time passed, their expressions darkened until they resembled pig liver!
He held the expectation that other Refining Masters were rushing to collect the new group, yet Yang Chuan seemed entirely unpredictable.
But now that the Ma Realm material group had been offered, it could no longer be undone. Begrudgingly swallowing the bitter pill, he finally hammered down the final bid, selling the collected group through the pain to the strong contenders in the third attic.
"Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Isn’t he a Refining Master? How could he be tempted by the Divine Group?"
Watching others fixated on the Divine Group, outwardly composed yet ridden with doubts internally.
However, not long after, he inhaled sharply and spoke again. "Alright, now for the first treasure of this auction! The next item to be auctioned will be even rarer, so stay tuned!"
Pointing openly toward a Heavenly Horse-level man nearby, the man nodded and once again delivered jade to the platform.
Repeating the auctioneer’s venue, eyes flickered chaotically, his heart aching visibly, prompting him to say, "The next auction feels almost dreamlike!" he said.
Bringing the jade artifact to the stage, he shouted, "From a thousand years ago, when the renowned Ma Zun was not yet awakened, he left behind a refining machine, an untamed masterpiece."
Pause.
At the mention of this, an instantaneous eruption filled the auction hall!
Who is Yingma John?
None other than the strongest Ma Zun of the Demon World, a ancient transcendent figure!
Though Ma Zun’s demise has long passed, his lingering reputation continues to invoke dread!
Moreover, beyond his unmatched might, Yingma John’s Void Cultivation Technology stunned everyone!
And now, the refining machine connected to Demon John emerges—of course this stirs everyone!
In the higher private rooms, prestigious guests appeared, even more exalted than before!
If struck by their overwhelming presence, they directed their focused gazes throughout the auction venue, isolating the crowd in one corner!
A particular prominent bidder watched Yang Qian closely and secretly vowed, "This time you must stand up! Worry not; I’ll ensure you obtain this item! You need alliances, enmity, and hidden roots, and this cruel artifact will inevitably return to me!"
With this thought, the bidder practically stared intently, only to catch glimpses of Yang Tian’s faint reflection through the glass rooftop manner, lying there unmoved.
Yet, within the blink of an eye, he shot a detached glance before slowly closing his eyes, participating in the bidding indifferently.
Why?
Why is this happening?
Isn’t he engaged in refining?
How could he remain indifferent to Ma Zun’s refining machine?
That heart is merely a fragment and nothing more—a reawakened spiritual relic forged under Ma Zun’s guidance. What sort of refining machine could draw such fascination!
Observing Yang Chuan within his quarters, Consort Zhou nearly vomited blood!
Earlier, these rival factions had stomped friend and foe alike, crushed artifacts and treasures bitterly—but this refining machine embodies unyielding determination!
Though the truth of Yang Chuan’s inner thoughts evaded all else, masticating Ma Zun’s collective memories and perceiving harsh practices through this refining machine, none dare challenge Yang Chuan!
Yang Bu pondered on moments, capable of deploying more machinery than this single refining apparatus in minutes.
The auction must proceed further; it is decided.
Apart from Yang Chuan and his respective quarters, all other six powerful groups beyond his attic engage fiercely. Each significantly surpasses Blackstone City greatly in strength.
Thus, there’s little room for something trivial to ascend as coveted treasures!
Consequently, minor enterprises of daylight find themselves dejected, resigned to announce, "Now... the bidding starts—1 billion Ma Cheng!"
"1.5 billion!"
Following just an initial bid, the fifth chamber echoed heavily.
"1.7 billion!"
Upon the fifth chamber’s sound fading, the third chamber promptly presented a counteroffer.
"2 billion!"
The seventh chamber proclaimed forcefully.
Soon, offers from the fourth, sixth, and eighth chambers surged, hiking Ma Zun’s heart valuation to over 4 billion Ma Zheng, doubling the price seen moments prior!
Spectators among ordinary Ma Island people at the scene were stunned into silence by the absurdly mounting figures.
From Yang Chuan’s chamber—Room 2—total silence prevailed, as if keenly observing, Yang Chuan refrained from participating entirely.
Finally, when the "towering chamber’s" latest bid reached 6 billion for the "Thousand Home Artifact," quiet murmurs settled once more.
What does this notion of Ma Zheng convey, particularly a staggering 6-billion valuation?
To Blackstone City, such figures equate roughly to enabling all the Ma Island elites to train for three to five years!
A sum of this magnitude utterly incapacitates forces inferior to others representing Constant Stars!
Seated at the fifth chamber, an elite bidder observed another chamber patron with a grin that concealed discontent. He murmured, "As long as wealth surges ahead, fairness dwindles."
Glancing back toward Zhongxin’s quarters, yet observing narrowly, remarks hinted irrevocably toward attempting the hammering, solidifying the price.
Moments later, an attendee in the third chamber shouted unexpectedly, "Wait! I’m a Water Master!"
And the artifact’s worth?
At these words, just as Zhongxin Holz hesitated nearing the hammer’s final strike, the bidder from chamber five eased slightly.
The third chamber declared anew, "We’ll offer another 50,000 genius treasures modified for better uses!"
50,000 treasures equivalent to Ma Zheng?
The declaration left all stunned by the revelation instantly.
Essentially, white-grade Ma Zheng equates to intermediate treasures, while intermediate-quality aligns to hard-earned Ma Zheng!
Adding genius treasures totaling five billion reflects loftier levels equivalent to Ao Dama Mansion’s superhero movie budgets!
The genius assets totaling five billion barely exceed those put forth in chambers valued six billion altogether; precision gathers atop final goods!
Within Ao Dama Mansion, genius enhancements showcase only traces left thrilling bidders!
And genius augmentation rapidly strengthens refining—in particular during hard conditions, sustaining unfathomed tolls attributed decisively nearing abrupt periods!
