Sour Pickled Peanuts

Chapter 331 Meng Xiaojun

Zhang Fengling's voice was loud, clearly intentional.

Upon hearing of an outsider, the surrounding people immediately turned their gazes towards Qin Hanchu.

"So he's an outsider, no wonder his hair is so strange."

"An outsider dares to come to our Barbarian Domain, has he had enough of living?"

"If the domain war hadn't stopped, this person would definitely die here."

"How did he get in? Why would an invitation be given to an outsider."

The people around looked at Qin Hanchu with cold indifference.

Qin Hanchu remained unmoved. He asked Zhang Fengling, "Is there a problem?"

"This is our Qiufeng City auction, you..."

Before Zhang Fengling could finish speaking, Chen Hongxiu walked over. She lowered her voice and said, "I gave him the invitation. If you want to get me killed, feel free to continue speaking."

Hearing this, Zhang Fengling's expression instantly froze.

Zhang Fengling was a suitor of Chen Hongxiu. He had not expected that Qin Hanchu's invitation was given by Chen Hongxiu.

If he continued to make trouble, Chen Hongxiu would inevitably be implicated.

At that time, Chen Hongxiu would definitely be viewed differently.

Zhang Fengling shut his mouth, then snorted and walked forward.

Although Chen Hongxiu was grateful for Qin Hanchu saving her life, she could only pretend not to know him to avoid causing trouble for her family.

Qin Hanchu did not mind. He sat in his place, ignoring the gazes of others.

"Patriarch Chen has arrived."

"Patriarch Zhang has also arrived."

"I wonder if the City Lord will come?"

"Although the auction was called by the City Lord, he probably won't be present."

Amidst the discussions of the crowd, the upper echelon of Qiufeng City began to arrive.

The leaders of these prominent families had dedicated VIP rooms, presenting a grand spectacle.

Once everyone was present, the auction officially began.

"The first item is the Quanyuan Pill from the Lingdan Pavilion. After consumption, it can purify Yuan Li and has an excellent effect for those below the Battle Venerable level."

"The starting bid is ten high-grade Origin Stones!"

Hearing this, Qin Hanchu sighed slightly.

The first item was already so expensive, it would be very difficult for him to gain anything.

To obtain good items at an auction, one needed to have money.

As the auctioneer's words fell, the price of the Quanyuan Pill continued to rise.

It was eventually purchased for fifty high-grade Origin Stones.

The second item was also a pill.

This pill was the Hanyuan Pill that Qin Hanchu had used before.

The starting price for this item was a hundred high-grade Origin Stones.

The pills from Blue Star shared the same name as this place?

This further strengthened Qin Hanchu's belief that these worlds were interconnected.

After a fierce bidding war, the Hanyuan Pill was secured for one hundred and fifty high-grade Origin Stones.

The third item was a weapon, referred to as a Spirit Weapon by the people of this world.

This Spirit Weapon was on the same level as Qin Hanchu's Hanchan Sword.

The starting bid for this Spirit Weapon was three hundred high-grade Origin Stones, and the final transaction price reached five hundred high-grade Origin Stones.

Following this, several more pills and medicinal herbs were presented, but they did not cause much of a stir.

Up to this point, those prominent families had not participated in any bidding.

Clearly, they were all waiting for the ultimate treasures.

Qin Hanchu quietly observed the auction on stage.

"The next item is a Hanming Youcao. This item can assist cultivators with ice-attribute to advance, offering the highest cost-effectiveness for those at the Battle King level."

"The starting bid is one thousand high-grade Origin Stones, with each increment not less than ten high-grade Origin Stones."

Upon the appearance of this item, the patriarchs of several major families sat up straighter.

This item was predetermined for these prominent families, and others were not qualified to participate.

Even if you had the money, you couldn't compete for it.

Anyone who competed would be making enemies of these prominent families.

While this item was said to be best used by Battle Kings, it should also have some effect on Battle Saints.

Qin Hanchu did not fear offending these prominent families, but he had no money!

Several major families engaged in a fierce competition, driving up the price of the Hanming Youcao.

Ultimately, the Chen family acquired it for two thousand high-grade Origin Stones.

In addition to this Hanming Youcao, there were two more Five Elements Spirit Herbs of different attributes.

These two Spirit Herbs also fell into the hands of the prominent families.

"Next up is the highlight of today, a five-hundred-year-old Frost Spirit Ganoderma!"

"Paired with Extreme Cold Spring Water, this item has an eight-tenths chance of helping those at the Battle Venerable realm reach the Battle Saint level."

"The starting bid is three thousand high-grade Origin Stones."

Hearing this, Qin Hanchu's gaze narrowed.

A single herb had an eighty percent chance of creating a Battle Saint expert?

Following this, a waitress brought out the Frost Spirit Ganoderma.

Upon its appearance, the temperature in the auction hall dropped sharply.

The ornamental flowers placed around were directly covered in a layer of frost.

This demonstrated the terrifying icy power contained within the Frost Spirit Ganoderma.

Even if Qin Hanchu consumed it, he would likely benefit greatly.

Even if he couldn't break through, he could still improve his strength.

Qin Hanchu's gaze shifted, contemplating whether to steal the item.

Subsequently, the various families engaged in a new round of competition.

To have another Battle Saint appear in their families, these families appeared to be quite frenzied.

Of course, they would not go all out.

After all, the larger the family, the greater the expenditure.

They couldn't let the entire family's capital chain break for this single Frost Spirit Ganoderma.

Soon, the price climbed to five thousand Origin Stones.

At this moment, the previously closed doors of the venue suddenly opened.

Following this, a group of people walked in.

Logically, once the venue was closed, no one else would be allowed to enter.

Therefore, this group attracted everyone's attention.

"The insignia of the Zhongyong Count of Barbarian King City!"

"It's Mr. Lang!"

"Why would someone from the Zhongyong Count be here?"

The Zhongyong Count was a trusted confidant of the Barbarian King, and his status was not weaker than that of a royal prince in Barbarian King City.

Royal princes were titles enjoyed only by the Barbarian King's relatives.

The Count, on the other hand, was the highest honor for trusted outsiders.

This Zhongyong Count was a War God level expert.

In terms of both strength and status, he was not inferior to the City Lord of Qiufeng City.

The group separated to the sides, and a woman in a green dress walked out from the center.

This woman was extremely beautiful, with an air of arrogance about her.

"Meng Xiaojun!"

"The most beloved granddaughter of the Zhongyong Count!"

Upon seeing the woman in the green dress, everyone present looked astonished.

Even the people from the prominent families in the VIP rooms stood up one after another.

"Greetings, Miss Meng!"

Everyone, except Qin Hanchu, cupped their fists and said.

Meng Xiaojun did not speak, but the maid beside her pointed at the Frost Spirit Ganoderma on stage and said, "Six thousand high-grade Origin Stones. Miss wants this item."

Hearing this, the patriarchs of the various families fell silent.

The auctioneer on stage gave an awkward laugh, "Since Miss Meng desires it, we are naturally willing to fulfill her wish."

"Pay and take it."

After speaking, Meng Xiaojun turned and walked out.

Throughout this entire time, she did not acknowledge the bowing crowd.

In her eyes, these people were not worthy of her response.
