Xiahou Yan's words were filled with intense killing intent.

Originally, he only needed six million lower-grade Spirit Stones to acquire the Storage Bracelet, but now, the other party had raised the price to ten million lower-grade Spirit Stones.

One must know that ten million lower-grade Spirit Stones, even for him, was a massive sum, almost equivalent to half of his entire wealth.

This meant that even if there were better treasure resources to come, he no longer had the ability to bid.

This made it impossible for him not to hate. If he hadn't yet figured out the other party's background, plus the fact that this was the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, even as the Second Prince, he couldn't easily cause a scene. Otherwise, he would have already taken action to hack the other party to pieces, to vent the hatred in his heart.

"This guy truly doesn't know the meaning of self-preservation, causing the Second Prince to needlessly spend an extra four million lower-grade Spirit Stones."

"I'm afraid that once the auction ends, the Second Prince will make him pay a heavy price."

"Of all people to offend, he had to offend the Second Prince; this guy is doomed."

...

Everyone looked towards Wang Ruoxie's VIP room with sympathetic eyes. This guy could only enjoy his moment now, but soon, he would regret his actions tremendously.

"Ridiculous, is it that you can bid against me, but I can't bid against you?"

Wang Ruoxie sneered and spoke up.

He had just been bidding on the Blood Soul Jade Talisman, originally needing only thirty thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones, but this guy made him spend a full eighty thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones, letting him suffer a small loss.

So naturally, he wouldn't swallow his anger and needed to let the other party take a significant loss instead.

"Let you be arrogant for a while; when the auction ends, you'll surely come to know the meaning of deep regret."

Xiahou Yan coldly snorted and replied.

"I'll be waiting."

Wang Ruoxie smiled indifferently in response.

Next, the auction for the third item proceeded.

"The third auction item is a thousand-year Earth Essence Fruit, which, upon consumption, can directly raise one minor realm, effective even for the Meridian Passage Realm."

Xiao Yingxue said to the crowd: "The starting price for this Earth Essence Fruit is one hundred fifty thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones, with each bid increase not less than thirty thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones."

As soon as she finished speaking, nearly ten thousand people in the auction hall erupted in frenzy at such a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure.

Even for the Meridian Passage Realm, consuming this Earth Essence Fruit could directly raise one minor realm, what an astounding effect.

Typically, to raise one minor realm in the Meridian Passage Realm would take years or even decades of painstaking cultivation and consume a great deal of treasure resources.

That meant that obtaining this Earth Essence Fruit could save them years or even decades of time and a significant amount of treasure resources.

"Unexpectedly, such a treasure exists in the Fire Cloud Kingdom at this level."

Wang Ruoxie's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and even he was tempted by the Earth Essence Fruit.

If he obtained this Earth Essence Fruit, he naturally wouldn't consume it directly but instead use it as the main ingredient to refine a Fifth Grade Pill known as the Fusion Essence Pill.

And just one Fusion Essence Pill could directly enhance one minor realm below the Meridian Passage Realm.

Even for a Martial Cultivator at the Meridian Passage Realm, it would have a great effect; at most, consuming two or three Fusion Essence Pills could directly enhance one minor realm.

Moreover, with his Alchemy Skill, he could completely refine a Divine Grade Fusion Essence Pill, with an even more astonishing effect.

"Two million lower-grade Spirit Stones."

"Two hundred thirty thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones."

...

"Five million lower-grade Spirit Stones."

"Seven million lower-grade Spirit Stones."

"Nine million lower-grade Spirit Stones."

...

The bidding was extremely fierce, and in just a moment, the price of the Earth Essence Fruit had shot up to nine million lower-grade Spirit Stones.

However, at this point, those still bidding were only a few, but each was at least of the Meridian Passage Realm cultivation and seemingly senior figures from large factions.

After all, for general Martial Cultivators, even if they were of the Meridian Passage Realm, it was nearly impossible to produce such a large amount of lower-grade Spirit Stones.

Wang Ruoxie wasn't in a hurry to bid because he knew that nine million lower-grade Spirit Stones was definitely not the final price of the Earth Essence Fruit.

Indeed, after a short silence, those few Meridian Passage Realm people started frantically bidding again.

"Ten million lower-grade Spirit Stones."

"Eleven million lower-grade Spirit Stones."

"Thirteen million lower-grade Spirit Stones."

...

Such frenzied bidding, coupled with heart-trembling prices, left the entire auction hall, aside from those several still competing, in shock.

Everyone's gaze focused on the VIP rooms of these few individuals, holding their breath, awaiting the final result of the bidding.

They could imagine that the final price of this Earth Essence Fruit would undoubtedly reach a terrifying astronomical figure.

"Junior Brother Ruoxie, although we haven't obtained anything by attending this auction, we've at least broadened our horizons."

Xueyao's eyes revealed an unusual light when she spoke to Wang Ruoxie.

Hearing Xueyao's words, Ling Yu only pursed his lips but said nothing.

He had to admit that, even for him, there was no way he could contend with those few from the Meridian Passage Realm for the Earth Essence Fruit, not only because he didn't have enough Spirit Stones but also because his Cultivation Power was insufficient.

If he did manage to purchase the Earth Essence Fruit, he feared that just after stepping out of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, he would be killed by those Meridian Passage Realm people for the treasure. This place was not the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty, and no one would care about his status.

"Senior Sister, don't worry. Since I promised you a Storage Bracelet before, I won't let you down."

Wang Ruoxie smiled gently at Xueyao and said.

"Then, thank you, Junior Brother Ruoxie."

Xueyao gave a charming smile, assuming he was just joking with her.

The Storage Bracelet had already been acquired by Xiahou Yan, and unless Wang Ruoxie dared to kill and seize the treasure, it would be impossible for her to obtain it again.

"Fifteen million lower-grade Spirit Stones."

At this moment, Wang Ruoxie finally began to bid.

"Junior Brother Ruoxie, do you have that many lower-grade Spirit Stones?"

Xueyao looked at Wang Ruoxie in astonishment; even with the Essence Pill Realm inheritance she received, she couldn't produce fifteen million lower-grade Spirit Stones.

After a pause, she continued: "By the way, I have over six million lower-grade Spirit Stones; I can lend them to you."

"If you plead, I could lend you some as well."

Ling Yu looked at Wang Ruoxie with a playful glint, and said.

Wang Ruoxie gazed indifferently at Ling Yu, too lazy to entertain him, then turned his attention to Xueyao, shaking his head while smiling: "There's no need. Although I don't have that many Spirit Stones on me, the Myriad Treasures Pavilion should allow me to bid."

The three Storage Rings he refined were expected to be auctioned soon; even if each only sold for ten million lower-grade Spirit Stones, they would total up to thirty million lower-grade Spirit Stones, enough to buy the Earth Essence Fruit.

Moreover, he believed that the price of the Storage Rings he refined would far exceed the previous Storage Bracelet.

"Idiot."

Seeing Wang Ruoxie ignoring him again, a glint of coldness flashed in Ling Yu's eyes as he inwardly cursed.

But soon, he showed a look of amusement, finding it foolish that someone would think that the Myriad Treasures Pavilion would allow empty bidding.
