Chapter 84: Arrogant Duan Yong

On the other side, Yun Ze and the three were taken to a room on the sixth floor. The nearly twenty-square-meter room was quite large. Near the window, there was a table.
Outside the window ledge was a trapezoidal space, and in the middle was an auction hall.
Yunze and the others were located in a private room on the second floor of the auction hall.
Below them were many cultivators seated in their positions. It seemed they were attending the auction.
The auction had clearly been underway for some time now.
Yun Ze's arrival caught the attention of everyone, especially a young man sitting in a similar private box on the opposite side.
He gave Yunze a cold glance, and an unusual expression appeared in his eyes; this person's cultivation had reached the ninth level of the Transcendence stage.
Currently, what is being auctioned is a third-tier spirit weapon knife. The starting bid is ten thousand top-quality spirit stones.
This is a third-level lower-grade spiritual weapon knife, suitable for practitioners below the Ninth Level of Transcendence. By the time one reaches the Void Breaking Realm, it would only be barely usable.
Those competing for this spiritual weapon below are all practitioners of the Transcendence Realm, with each bid increasing by 100 high-grade spiritual stones.
This spiritual weapon has already been increased to nineteen thousand top-quality spirit stones. Soon, this spiritual weapon was bought by a young man at the ninth level of Transcendence.
The next few auction items were either spiritual weapons, third-grade pills, or third-grade spiritual herbs and materials. There were even some fourth-grade materials available.
Yun Ze is not interested in any of this at all.
Soon, the auctioneer on stage presented the Grade Four spirit herb, Break Yuan Root, which Yun Ze had been looking forward to.
As soon as this spirit herb appeared, the people around revealed a look of joy in their eyes.
Although this is only a level four spiritual herb, not a level four elixir, the medicinal power of this Broken Yuan Earth Root is almost approaching level five.
Among level four spiritual herbs, it is definitely considered an exceptional existence, which is why the owner of this herb is unwilling to sell it to the auction house and prefers to bid for it themselves.
Moreover, even if this broken Yuan-dan root is not refined into a pill, it can still greatly increase the chances of helping those at the ninth level of the Transcendence Realm advance their cultivation to the Void Realm.
Therefore, the moment this spiritual herb appeared, everyone's eyes were filled with greed.
“Ladies and gentlemen, this spiritual herb has been reserved by me,” at that moment, Yun Ze, the young man at the opposite VIP room, stood up and coldly addressed the crowd below.
As he spoke, he looked up at Yunze, his eyes revealing a warning. His expression was full of arrogance and dominance.
Hearing this, the people below immediately erupted in an uproar, all of them looking at the young man with eyes filled with anger.
However, almost everyone is quietly furious yet dare not voice their dissatisfaction. Nonetheless, some are discreetly expressing their grievances.
“Hmph… that bastard Duan Yong, relying on his status as a member of the Duan family, has been arrogant and overbearing for a long time. Every auction, whenever I run into him, I can never get the good stuff. This time, it seems that this broken Yuan Digen will belong to him again.”
“Hmph, if it weren't for the power of the Duan family, who would be afraid of him?”
“Sigh... but what's the use of our unwillingness!? We can only look on helplessly.”
Hearing the words of the crowd, a glint of brilliance surged in Yun Ze's eyes.
He never expected that just after killing a member of the Duan family outside, he would encounter someone from the Duan family again in this auction house.
Moreover, this guy actually wants to break the Yuan ground as well, truly a case of enemies crossing paths.
“Benefactor, what should we do now?! It seems like the Duan family also wants to acquire that Po Yuan Di Gen. We……” Fang Hu cast a worried glance at Yun Ze.
He had just heard that Yun Ze needed the Po Yuan Di Gen, and now with the Duan family getting involved, Yun Ze probably wouldn’t be able to obtain this spiritual herb.
“No rush, this broken Yuan di root, I want it, and no one can snatch it away from me!!” Yun Ze smiled slightly, his voice exuding a sense of dominance, as he calmly said.
Fang Hu was taken aback upon hearing this, as he never expected that Yun Ze would not even fear the people from the Duan family, especially since Duan Yong’s cultivation was clearly higher than Yun Ze’s.
No matter what, Fang Hu looked across at Duan Yong, his eyes filled with determination. Since Yun Ze was ready to confront the Duan family, he certainly would follow.
At worst, it would just be death. He was definitely going to repay Yun Ze's kindness.
At this moment, the auctioneer has already begun the bidding, and the starting price for the Broken Yuan Ding is one hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones. Each bid must increase by no less than one thousand high-grade spirit stones.
This price is exactly the minimum price for a fourth-grade spiritual medicine.
Generally, the market price for a fourth-level spirit herb is around this value, but the Broken Yuan Di Gen is different. Its value is definitely at least doubled.
“One hundred thousand and one!” Before anyone else could bid, the cold voice of Duan Yong rang out from the opposite side.
At the same time, he let out a cold snort, his voice carrying a hint of threat as he glanced around at the people. The killing intent in his eyes made all the bidders involuntarily avoid making eye contact with him.
```htmlThe auctioneer in the middle frowned at the scene, showing a hint of displeasure, but he was also enduring it.
Clearly, he didn't dare to offend Duan Yong.
However, Duan Yong offered such a low price and threatened others not to raise their bids, which was truly despicable. This would likely cause significant losses for the person who owned the spiritual medicine.```
But Dan Yong is a member of the Dan family, and in this Shangqianfang City, who would dare to provoke him?! Anyone who dares will find it impossible to leave Shangqianfang City.
The auctioneer, seeing that no one dared to bid, could only reluctantly say: "Is there no one willing to raise the bid?! One hundred thousand and one thousand, going twice."
Although the people around were unhappy, they could only keep their heads down, feeling angry and unwilling.
The auctioneer, seeing this scene, could only sigh helplessly; it seemed that no one dared to bid any higher. He opened his mouth, ready to call out for the third time.
就在这时，云泽淡淡出声道：“二十万！”
As soon as he said this, the scene fell into an instant dead silence, everyone unable to believe what they had just heard. Someone actually dared to compete with Duan Yong for something, completely unafraid of death.
Everyone's gaze turned to Yunze, but when they saw that his cultivation level was only at the sixth level of the Transcendence Realm, a look of pity appeared on their faces.
They all looked at him as if he were already dead; with such weak cultivation, he actually dared to compete with Duan Yong for the spirit herb. This kid truly doesn't know the meaning of impending death.
Everyone could almost foresee Yun Ze's fate.
On the opposite side, Duan Yong's eyes instantly filled with a surge of rage upon hearing this. He looked at Yun Ze, his gaze extremely sinister. His voice was laced with a threat as he spoke:
“Brat, do you know who I am?! How dare you steal my things? I'm giving you a chance to take back what you said, otherwise… you'll regret it.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the auctioneer at the auction platform furrowed his brows, his eyes revealing a hint of anger as he said:
“Young Master Duan, this is the Fang family's auction house. Is it too much for you to threaten the bidders like this?! Do you really think our Fang family can't handle your Duan family?!”
The auctioneer's acts of tolerance are not because they can't afford to offend the Duan family; a mere Duan family is truly not worth their concern.
What they truly fear is just the Qian Sect. After all, if the Fang family has a conflict with the Duan family, the Qian Sect will definitely step in.
