"Three million low-grade primal stones!"
As soon as Xu Chuan bid, he doubled the price for this black stone.
Those present looked sideways, their expressions astonished, and they began searching for Xu Chuan's figure.
They wanted to see which young master was willing to spend so many primal stones to gamble on a black stone of unknown value.
Seeing Xu Chuan's face, they found him somewhat unfamiliar.
However, this did not prevent them from discussing Xu Chuan's actions.
"Where did this prodigal son come from? He's spending primal stones so lavishly!"
"He instantly raised the price by 1.5 million. I've never seen anyone bid like this before. Could he be a hothead?"
"What do you think Wanbao Tower will do if he can't produce this many primal stones later?"
"What? Of course, they'll strip him naked, snatch his storage ring, and parade him through the streets!"
"Exactly. Who in the capital of Da Wei Kingdom doesn't know that Wanbao Tower has royal backing? Who would dare bid recklessly here?"
...
The hall master of this black stone shop also showed surprise.
Then, joy!
The lowest price the merchant association set for this black stone was 150,000 low-grade primal stones. Whatever the final selling price, the association would only take a 70% commission.
The price of 1.5 million low-grade primal stones had already exceeded his expectations.
But he never expected an imbecile to be willing to buy this black stone for three million low-grade primal stones.
This meant he had made over a million low-grade primal stones for free!
How could he not be overjoyed!
But Xu Chuan didn't care at all.
The amount of primal stones he possessed had accumulated to a terrifying degree.
Including the 10 million low-grade primal stones he obtained from selling things earlier, he had at least 50 million low-grade primal stones in his storage ring.
Coupled with several hundred thousand mid-grade primal stones.
And high-grade primal stones, he had tens of thousands!
Even top-grade primal stones, he had thousands.
It was important to remember that the exchange rate between different grades of primal stones was one to one hundred.
When calculated this way, one could imagine how terrifying a fortune Xu Chuan possessed!
Part of these primal stones came from the saint sons, true disciples, and various heavenly prodigies he had slain. An even larger portion was primal stones automatically condensed over tens of thousands of years in the small world within the Golden Ancient Hall.
The small world could absorb chaotic primal energy, transform it into spiritual energy within the world, and turn it into primal stones.
Therefore, this 1.5 million low-grade primal stones was but a drop in the bucket for Xu Chuan.
He did not hesitate to spend it to obtain the fragment within the black stone.
After paying the primal stones, he took possession of the black stone.
In contrast to Xu Chuan's extravagance, Chen Feng, standing nearby, had an extremely ugly expression.
He only had a little over 2 million low-grade primal stones on him.
The black stone that had evoked his feelings was about to be his, but a sudden interloper had directly snatched it away.
Moreover, the price he offered made Chen Feng unable to continue bidding.
He could only watch helplessly as Xu Chuan took the black stone into his possession.
"No matter who you are, if you dare to steal what I want, I will tear you to pieces!"
At this moment, under the wide hood of his black robe, Chen Feng's face was extremely ferocious, like a hungry wolf staring intently at Xu Chuan.
He unleashed his spiritual consciousness towards Xu Chuan without reservation, intending to cripple him on the spot.
This way, he would have a chance to obtain the black stone.
"Hmm?"
Xu Chuan keenly sensed this spiritual consciousness filled with malice and killing intent, and his brows furrowed.
"Noisy!"
Then, in his sea of consciousness, the Killing Blade Soul surged, transforming into a blade energy that unhesitatingly struck at this spiritual consciousness.
Instantly, the spiritual consciousness that Chen Feng had sent out was severed by Xu Chuan.
"Ah!"
Beside him, Chen Feng, whose spiritual consciousness had been severed by Xu Chuan, let out a painful scream.
In his mind, he felt a tearing pain in his soul, making him wish for death.
A stream of blood tears flowed from his eyes.
Seeing his pathetic state, the surrounding customers were bewildered, not knowing what had happened.
However, they consciously moved away from Chen Feng's location, fearing they might also be affected.
This intense pain caused his hatred for Xu Chuan to deepen.
"I want you dead, I want you to live a life worse than death!"
He roared in his heart.
The pain caused him to collapse on the ground, his face contorted, his eyes blood red.
At this moment, he wanted to attack Xu Chuan directly and snatch the black stone.
However, a shred of reason remaining in his mind told him.
He absolutely could not act within Wanbao Tower.
Otherwise, he would definitely not leave Wanbao Tower alive today!
After a long time, Chen Feng finally recovered from the pain.
His reason gradually returned.
He looked in the direction Xu Chuan had left, his eyes revealing a fierce killing intent.
"Wait, once you leave Wanbao Tower, it will be your death!"
"What belongs to me, I will definitely get back!"
He vowed silently in his heart that he would not let Xu Chuan go.
Then he left the place.
What he wanted had all been snatched away by Xu Chuan. What was the point of staying here?
He might as well go elsewhere and see if he could find a treasure he liked.
However, he did not notice that Xu Chuan, who had already left, followed him again after taking a lap.
Xu Chuan watched as Chen Feng entered an auction house.
At this time, the auction was in full swing.
Chen Feng found a seat, and Xu Chuan sat not far behind him.
Chen Feng stared at the item in the auctioneer's hand, and Xu Chuan stared at Chen Feng.
Perhaps sensing something, Chen Feng looked back.
However, he did not find Xu Chuan.
Because Xu Chuan had already changed his appearance, adopting a completely different face.
This disguise was so effective that even his closest acquaintances might not recognize him.
This technique of changing one's appearance was thanks to a piece of skin Xu Chuan had discovered in Chu Fan's storage ring.
This skin, made of unknown material, could change his appearance to whatever Xu Chuan desired when applied to his face.
And it also altered his aura.
Xu Chuan tried it out, and it was incredibly effective!
Chen Feng hadn't noticed anything amiss.
Not long after they both sat down, a new round of auctions began.
"This is the item for our current round, please take a look!"
With that, the auctioneer removed the red cloth.
Immediately, a piece of dark, black iron was displayed before the crowd.
Upon seeing this, the faces of those present darkened somewhat.
Weren't they told that everything on the tenth floor of Wanbao Tower was a good thing, no matter where it was?
Why were they auctioning off a piece of iron in this auction hall? Wasn't this fooling people?
As if sensing their dissatisfaction, the auctioneer explained with a smile.
"I believe that upon first glance, everyone will think this is just a piece of scrap iron!"
"Don't deny it, that's what I thought when I first saw it!"
"However, don't just look at its exterior, pay attention to its interior!"
"This item, after being appraised by our Wanbao Tower appraisers, is a fragment of a star core!"
"However, we do not know what specific star core it is a fragment of."
"But even if it's the most worthless star core, it's still a good thing. Refining this item can cleanse one's aptitude, solidify one's foundation, and even provide an opportunity to form a special physique corresponding to the star core. It's an excellent item for building a foundation for descendants!"
"The starting bid for this item is... 1 million primal stones!"
As the auctioneer's words fell.
A commotion erupted among the audience.
An item that could cleanse aptitude, solidify one's foundation, and even form a special physique was not common.
Who didn't have descendants?
For a moment, the gazes of these people became fiery, abandoning their previous disdain.
