The Daybreak Merchant Union’s auction this time was held at the East Ling Region. It was a joint operation by all the branches.

Manager Zhao Tianfang’s branch was also included.

Due to the matter regarding the Thunder Flame Physique, Long Chen was slightly fearful towards them. However, with Liu Lan beside him, he had nothing to fear.

Even if the sky were to collapse, the Lingwu Family would be there to take the brunt of it in his stead.

The auction grounds was huge. In the giant public square, ten thousands of people gathered. In the middle was a platform whereby large amounts of light was gathered. The floor of the platform was made entirely out of deity jades, and it was apparent that the Daybreak Merchant Union was spending extravagantly for this event.

Above the square were almost two hundred compartments. Long Chen and Liu Lan were now in one of them. Though it was not large, it was exquisite.

With Liu Lan’s status, it was no big deal to get a compartment like this.

Seated in such a narrow area next to someone rumoured to be his woman, Long Chen felt rather uncomfortable as he constantly breathed in a tempting aroma from her.

If not for what had just happened, he might even take enjoyment in this. However, much of him held hatred and anger towards Liu Lan, which diminished his interest in the beautiful woman beside him.

His indifferent att.i.tude gave Liu Lan impression that he was stirring restlessly inside.

“What are you so anxious about…”

Liu Lan watched him with interest. She then stretched out her body, revealing bits of skin underneath the thin black clothing, looking very enticing.

“If you can fulfil the goals I’ve set for you, everything of mine shall be yours. Hehe…”

She chuckled in a charming manner, while Long Chen ignored her and turned his head towards the platform at the centre of the plaza. It was the most dazzling place in the entire square, and also the focal point of this auction.

A gorgeous woman was now walking to the centre of the platform, her beautiful eyes sweeping the area. Only after that did an elegant voice sound.

“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Daybreak Merchant Union’s auction. We have made preparations for almost two months for this event. We are sure that the precious items we have will satisfy all of you. Let me now announce the commencement of the auction!”

“The rules of this auction are obviously that the person with the highest price obtains it. However, if you could supply an item of equivalent value, our Daybreak Merchant Union welcomes that as well. However, the value of the item shall be determined by us.”

Though she was not powerful, she had a very strong mind. Her voice was sweet and she was very tactful, leaving people feeling comfortable. Hosting large events such as auctions like this were very suitable for her.

Liu Lan had planned to tease Long Chen further to brighten the atmosphere, but Long Chen had no reaction at all. She then looked downwards as well and spoke, “The reason why we’re here is to look for something you can use during the inner faction selection. If there’s anything you want, tell me.”

“I have my own money. Don’t worry about me.”

If he were to take something more from her, he would owe her a favour. Long Chen had plans to teach Liu Lan an unforgettable lesson. If he were to use her money now, it would not make sense to attack her afterwards.

He and Liu Lan might be sitting together and even exchanging a few words, but that was only because he was no match for her. Liu Lan had made use of him, and once he had enough strength, the first person he would deal with was her.

Hearing such unyielding words from Long Chen, Liu Lan was slightly surprised. However, she knew how little Long Chen had received from his family. It was almost laughable hearing Long Chen’s words.

“I’m not in the mood to argue with you. I’m here at the auction for your sake. Don’t think too much of it. At most, everyone else would think that you’re my man. If you lose too badly, I’ll lose face, so paying for you is my attempt at saving face,” Liu Lan said.

“I told you already. I’ll get what I want with my own means.” Long Chen answered calmly.

Seeing Long Chen so untactful, Liu Lan was already slightly unhappy. However, she was the one in the wrong and could only ridicule him, “You’re pretty good at bragging, huh. I wonder how you’re going to do that in an auction of this level.”

She knew how much Long Chen had in his pockets. This auction was one of the highest grade in the Eastern Ling Region, and everything being auctioned off here had a starting price of over a thousand spirit jades.

If Long Chen had this amount of wealth, the sun must probably have risen from the west.

While they were conversing, time slipped away. In no time, two items had been auctioned off. The first was a profound middle-grade divine weapon, and had been bought at the high price of fifty thousand deity jades. The second had been sold for thirty thousand deity jades.

The first few items of the auctions were generally more precious. Long Chen knew of this practice.

The entirety of the wealth of one at the initial mastery stage at the Earth Dan Realm was generally at a hundred thousand. Any random item at the auction was enough for cultivators at the initial mastery stage at the Earth Dan Realm to go broke.

This was why Liu Lan was sure that Long Chen was just bragging.

“Don’t get the price wrong. If you can’t produce the money, you’ll be unable to leave the Daybreak Merchant Union. Though this is just a branch, there are many experts here at the Heaven Dan Realm. I won’t be able to save you.”

Seeing Long Chen still so stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat, Liu Lan warned him.

Long Chen continued gazing at the auction, not replying her at all.
