Protect Our Chief-Chapter 636 - 65: Feifei! You can’t beat her_3
Great Celestial Pride? And a confrontation with a Middle Stage Celestial Human Realm?
Huangfu Feifei’s expression froze, as if somewhat shocked, but after a few breaths, her eyes lit up: "So it’s a Great Celestial Pride, no wonder you boast so much. I’ve lived for over twenty years and never seen a Great Celestial Pride~~~ This time I’ll send you to Longzuo Academy and witness the might of a Great Celestial Pride~ Waoqiu, when do you return to Longzuo Academy?"
"Alas~ I’ll return to the academy after this auction. If you want to accompany me, just come along, but make sure not to cause any trouble." Mo Waoqiu sighed.
She knew well that Huangfu Feifei wasn’t one to keep calm, which is why she hadn’t told her the truth. She understood very clearly that although Feifei was formidable, the gap between her and Miss Liyao was still significant.
"After the auction? Waoqiu, have you set your sights on some treasure?" Huangfu Feifei asked curiously.
Mo Waoqiu hesitated slightly, and then said seriously: "My father has already persuaded the Elder Council to decide to use the family’s reserved funds to bid for the Infinite Treasure Pill for me, to enhance my Celestial Pride bloodline."
"Logically, the family development is far from reaching the stage of nurturing Purple Mansion Realm, and producing a Celestial Pride would be a waste. However, my father believes that if I can become a Celestial Pride, I can manage to become a follower of Miss Liyao. Having a Great Celestial Pride as a master would give the Southern Desert Mo Family some backing, deterring some wolfish individuals. Additionally, as an Academy disciple, with Celestial Pride treatment and family resource support, I can pave the way for the Purple Mansion Realm for the family in advance. After comprehensive consideration, the family thinks it’s worth a try."
"Infinite Treasure Pill, now that’s a good thing." Huangfu Feifei’s eyes also lit up, "It’s just a pity it’s so expensive, and the enhancement it provides to my bloodline is limited. Waoqiu, it’s unexpected that your Mo Family has amassed such a large fortune while developing rapidly~"
The larger the family’s scale, the greater the annual income, but various expenses also increase drastically. Under enormous expenditures, the actual funds a Noble Family can save each year are not much, and these funds cannot be used easily; they have to be accumulated for major events such as transitions of Celestial Human and Purple Mansion.
"Infinite Treasure Pill." In Mo Waoqiu’s eyes, there was a hint of excitement and fascination, with a slight blush appearing on her cheeks, she murmured to herself, "Miss Liyao, I will definitely, definitely not let you down again."
...
Time flies.
In a blink, several more days have passed.
In these days, the Commandery of the Southern Desert County visibly started growing lively. Many Noble Family representatives like Wang Shouzhe, coming from neighboring Counties, have been arriving in succession.
These Noble Family representatives, at the very least, hail from Sixth-Grade Noble Families, and not the type with only three Celestial Human Realm as a weak Sixth-Grade family.
The caliber of this Hundred Treasures Pavilion auction can thus be seen.
The Changning Wang Family is probably the only Seventh-Grade Noble Family here this time.
Soon, the time came for the Hundred Treasures Pavilion’s auction day.
This day.
The wind was clear, and the sky was without a cloud.
The Southern Desert region is elevated, with a dry climate and rare atmospheric moisture aggregation, resulting in rare cloud formations. On clear days, the sky is a breathtaking blue, like a gemstone, with an awe-inspiring beauty.
The Hundred Treasures Pavilion is located beneath this sky, occupying a large area on the northern edge of the Commandery.
Unlike the commonly low structures of the Southern Desert, the height of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion is significantly taller than the surrounding buildings, imposing like a crane amongst chickens.
Today is the day of the auction, and the Hundred Treasures Pavilion is newly decorated inside and out, adding more grandeur than usual, fully showcasing the exceptional status of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion.
On this day, Wang Shouzhe and others arrived at the auction venue early.
For a high-profile auction like this, naturally, each Noble Family was allocated a private box.
The Changning Wang Family and the Southern Desert Wang Family, being a Seventh-Grade and Fifth-Grade respectively, and not from the same region, naturally were separated into different boxes.
Wang Shihai, accompanying them, was in the same box with Wang Shouzhe, Ancestor Longyan, and the Celestial Human Realm Puppet Wang Shouzhu.
The heritage and origins of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion are substantial, and this auction aims to showcase its depth and strength. Besides the "Infinite Treasure Pill," there is also the essential elixir for advancing to Purple Mansion Realm, the "Spirit Communication Treasure Pill," which is even more valuable than the Infinite Treasure Pill.
In short, the items presented by the Hundred Treasures Pavilion this time are quite attractive, with each Noble Family having something they desire. Although the Infinite Treasure Pill is precious and miraculous, not every Noble Family covets it.
With Wang Shouzhe and others seated, other families also arrived one after another.
Families qualified to enter this auction are almost all dominant families in their respective localities.
Changning Wang Family, if not for Wang Shouzhe’s excellent earning abilities and even better spending capabilities, might not have qualified for the auction.
"Fourth Grandpa, that’s the Wang Family from Lingbei County, a Sixth-Grade Noble Family." Wang Shihai, having started with a high platform, has excellent insight and introduced to Wang Shouzhe, "However, although we share the same surname, the Lingbei Wang Family has no relation to our Daqian Wang Family lineage."
Wang Shouzhe nodded secretly; he had heard of the Lingbei Wang Family. Back in the day, he had even fabricated a name, "Wang Ziteng," pretending to be a member of the Lingbei Wang Family to attend an auction.
"That’s the Liaoyuan Cao Family, a Fifth-Grade Purple Mansion family from Liaoyuan County, with profound heritage, showing signs of a potential breakthrough to a Fourth-Grade Noble Family." Wang Shihai pointed to another group and introduced. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
On hearing this, Wang Shouzhe couldn’t help but glance at that side’s box several times.
The Saint Land’s Celestial Pride, who previously had some discord with the Wang Family, Cao Youqing, also hailed from the Liaoyuan Cao Family.
He has never given up tracking and investigating Cao Youqing, solely because his instinct tells him that Cao Youqing should be a proud person, unlikely to let go after suffering losses to the Wang Family.
"Oh? The Celestial Mansion Gongye Family is here too?" Wang Shihai suddenly raised an eyebrow in surprise and then introduced to Wang Shouzhe, "The Gongye Family is adept at artifact refining. The famed ’Celestial Workshop’ is the industry of the Daqian Third-Grade Noble Family Gongye Family. However, the Celestial Mansion Gongye Family is just Fifth-Grade, a branch family of the Daqian Gongye Family."
Gongye Family?
Wang Shouzhe’s eyes squinted; that is a very wealthy family.
Back then, he spent eighty thousand just to repair a Celestial Human Realm Puppet at the "Celestial Workshop"...
"That’s... the Qeng’an Zuoqiu Family!"
Suddenly, Wang Shihai widened his eyes, his voice becoming remarkably surprised.
"The Zuoqiu Family is a Fourth-Grade Noble Family, practically omnipotent in Qeng’an County. Could it be their target is also the ’Spirit Communication Treasure Pill’?"
This time, the Southern Desert Wang Family’s goal is to bid for the "Spirit Communication Treasure Pill" to prepare in advance for the Purple Mansion Species Wang Dingxin’s promotion resources for decades to come.
After all, advancing to the Purple Mansion Realm is a significant event, and preparing resources decades ahead is common.
Hearing this, Wang Shouzhe slightly furrowed his brows. He had also heard of the renowned Zuoqiu Family in Anqing County, located in the Daqian Belly County. Established early and with a long history, it is not to be underestimated.
He directed his attention to several Zuoqiu Family members present.
The leading person appeared as a young and wealthy gentleman, dressed luxuriously, wearing sword shoes and a jade crown, with a treasure sword at his waist, exuding an extraordinary handsome appearance.
However, his gaze seemed somewhat arrogant, with a dash of disdain flowing over the room as he glanced around.
It seems this person holds a high status within the Zuoqiu Family.
Behind him, two elders in gorgeous clothing guarded both sides. They stood tall, exuding a calm and extraordinary demeanor, with profound Profound Qi Cultivation, as deep and immense as an ancient cold pool.
