Gold Coin’s cultivation had already broken through to the Spirit Transformation Realm since obtaining the Spirit Transformation Pill, a fact that had initially caused quite a stir in Jianye City.
Even within the whole of Jianye City, only the clan leaders of the big families had reached such a level.
It was conceivable that Gold Coin’s family, by now, had no rivals within Jianye City.
Not long before, during the Yun Chu Academy’s examination, Gold Coin became the center of attention with his terrifying talent.
He was even taken as a disciple by an elder from the Yun Chu Academy who had come along, which suggested that Gold Coin’s family might soar to new heights in the future.
The Jun Family had also moved their entire clan to the County Capital from Jianye City.
Now, looking across the whole Yun Country, there were not many powers that could rival them.
Many had already secretly speculated that as long as Gold Coin’s family was given enough time, their future achievements would not be much different from those of the Jun Family.
Seeing Gold Coin walk arrogantly under the awed gazes of many, accompanied by two guards, heading towards the second-floor VIP room, Mo Wangchen quietly followed.
“Cough!”
Inside the second-floor corridor, just as Gold Coin was about to push the door and enter one of the rooms, Mo Wangchen let out a light cough.
“Hm?”
Gold Coin instinctively turned his head to look and saw the smiling Mo Wangchen, whose gaze was fixed on him.
He first appeared startled and then joy spread across his face.
“Hehe, Young Master Gold Coin, I didn’t expect such a coincidence.
I’m also here to participate in the auction today.
But the hall is so crowded; I was thinking of borrowing your place,” Mo Wangchen said as he stepped towards Gold Coin.
“Who is this kid?”
Hearing Mo Wangchen’s words and noting his teasing tone, the two guards couldn’t help but feel puzzled, looking at Mo Wangchen as if he were a fool.
What a joke.
Gold Coin was not only Jianye City’s number one talent but his cultivation had now reached the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Across the entire Yun Country, he was a genius with a notable ranking.
Moreover, he had recently been taken as a disciple by an elder from the Yun Chu Academy.
Ordinary people couldn’t even exchange a few words with someone like him, and this unknown kid dared to talk about borrowing a place?
However, before the two guards could speak, they saw Gold Coin scurry over to Mo Wangchen.
This scene left the two guards dumbfounded!
Had they seen wrong?
That Young Master Gold Coin, who was arrogant and despised everyone, was now scurrying over to a boy of the same age right under their noses?
How could this be?
Were they dreaming?
Under the stupefied expressions of the two guards, Gold Coin led Mo Wangchen into the room.
“I didn’t expect Master to be here too.
Why didn’t anyone let me know…” Gold Coin said.
Mo Wangchen sat in a seat in the room, while Gold Coin obediently stood, not taking a seat.
Just as he uttered the word “Master,” the two guards who had just entered the room and were closing the door were so scared that they fell to the ground.
Master?
The master of Young Master Gold Coin?
This kid?!
“Hm?” Hearing the commotion behind him, Gold Coin frowned slightly, turned his head to look, and sternly said, “What are you doing?
Can’t you be quieter?
Don’t disturb Master!”
Hearing his words, the two guards nearly fainted with fright, pinching their own thighs hard and promptly inhaling a breath of cold air.
It hurt!
This wasn’t a dream?!
Quickly, they too snapped back to their senses and scrambled up from the ground, their eyes filled with a disbelief that they couldn’t quite conceal, staring intently at Mo Wangchen.
“Don’t I always tell you not to address me as ‘Master’ in front of others?” Mo Wangchen’s brow furrowed, a touch of displeasure on his face.
Uh!
Hearing his words, Zhang Hao was momentarily stunned before he realized, “This…”
“Enough,” Mo Wangchen waved his hand, speaking with indifference, “Since it has come to this, there’s nothing to be done.
Just make sure they keep their mouths shut.”
“Understood!” Zhang Hao nodded, then turned to the two guards, “Pretend you didn’t see anything just now.
And if word gets out, don’t blame me…”
With that, a chilling light flashed in his eyes.
“Y-Yes, sir!” The two guards trembled and hurriedly replied.
“Have a seat as well,” Mo Wangchen said with a slight smile, looking at Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao hesitated for a moment, but knowing Mo Wangchen’s easy-going nature, he didn’t put on airs and took a seat beside him.
“What’s being auctioned that even you’ve come to take a look?” Mo Wangchen asked with curiosity.
Zhang Hao took out a list of auction items and handed it to Mo Wangchen, “This auction has a rather fine sword, said to be obtained by a senior in a Secret Realm.
It was consigned by the Mu Family for auction, so I came to see.”
“A Treasure Sword?” Mo Wangchen started, then glanced at the list.
At the third line, small characters stood out sharply.
‘Youlong Sword, held a thousand years ago by Red Dragon Venerable, rumored to have developed Spiritual Wisdom, a Dao Artifact…’
“A Dao Artifact?”
Upon reading the description, Mo Wangchen’s face immediately registered shock.
A Dao Artifact refers to those Magical Treasures with spirituality; no wonder Zhang Hao was here for the auction.
Dao Artifacts were a rarity in Yun Country—it was unexpected for one to surface in the modest Jianye City!
“A Dao Artifact has its own spirit.
If its wielder lacks strong willpower, they might at best develop inner demons or, at worst, be in danger of being consumed, coming under the sword’s control!” Mo Wangchen nodded, then handed the list back to Zhang Hao.
“If I can’t even master this Youlong Sword, how can I pursue the path of the Sword Dao…” Zhang Hao smiled, aware of what Mo Wangchen had mentioned, and this was precisely why he found the Youlong Sword compelling.
After that, he turned to Mo Wangchen again, puzzled, “Master, did you come here to bid for something in the auction?”
“Medicinal herbs, of course,” Mo Wangchen replied with a smile.
“Medicinal herbs?” Zhang Hao was surprised, then his gaze swept over the list, finally resting on the fourth line, “Green Darkness Grass?”
“Indeed.” Mo Wangchen nodded, only to see Zhang Hao’s brow furrow in confusion, “What’s the matter?”
“I saw Master Xue Zheng earlier, and I heard that his purpose for coming here is also for that Green Darkness Grass…”
“Xue Zheng?” Lin Feng frowned, recalling the figure at the entrance of the auction hall—Tang Zihan, with an elder by her side, that must have been Master Xue Zheng.
“Master Xue Zheng is an Alchemist of second-tier status, not quite at the level of Master Lin Qing, but exceedingly wealthy nonetheless.
When he sets his mind on something, he must attain it.
If Master really plans to compete with him…”
Zhao Hao paused thoughtfully before continuing, “Looking at the order on the list, the price of this Green Darkness Grass should reach around a hundred thousand Gold Coins.
But if the opponent is Master Xue Zheng, it’s hard to say where the final price could go…”
