Urban Super Medical Sage-Chapter 786 - 780 Damnation (1 more update)

Nangong Hui’s mind was shaken, almost dumbfounded.

What? The implication in the other person’s words was... was it a display of wealth? Winning just one item would mean his defeat?

Nangong Hui even felt like, somehow, the other person was the prince, and he himself was just an ordinary martial cultivator.

Have I lost my mind? No matter what, he, Nangong Hui, was the Sixteenth Prince. The martial cultivation resources bestowed by the emperor alone would amount to over a hundred million Black Xuan Stones a year, not to mention his own business and properties.

This time, Nangong Hui had saved up four hundred and thirty million Black Xuan Stones to make a splash at today’s Sacred Auction, with the goal of winning at least two treasures he coveted.

Taking in a deep breath, Nangong Hui laughed in fury, "Boy, do you want to compete with this prince at the auction? Haha... I assure you, you will know what regret is. You have no idea of the depth of the Royal Family’s foundation, you ignorant fool."

"Today, if you win even one treasure, consider me defeated," Su Chen’s smile grew even thicker as he repeated his words, then turned and left with Li Ping and Su Wanqing, no longer bothering to waste his breath on Nangong Hui.

"Damn it!!!" Nangong Hui stared at Su Chen’s retreating figure, his face turning dark with anger. His eyes brooding to the extreme, he fixed his glare on Su Chen, "Damn bastard!"

"Sixteenth Prince, there’s no need to be angry. You brought so much Black Xuan Stone with you today, there’s absolutely no way you will lose to that kid." The old crone standing behind Nangong Hui was his close attendant, possessing strength at the Seventh Layer of the Qiongji Realm, and was one of the most trusted and relied upon people by the Sixteenth Prince.

"Elder Yu speaks the truth," Nangong Hui took another deep breath, nodded, and forcibly suppressed his anger.

At this moment.

"Su Chen, I’m sorry." Su Wanqing apologized, knowing that because of her, Su Chen had offended one more person, and Nangong Hui’s status was not simple, being at least a prince of the Royal Family.

"It’s nothing, the more debts, the less worry," Su Chen laughed off, truly unconcerned. The Nan’e Royal Family might indeed be terrifying, but the Nan’e Royal Family and the Sixteenth Prince Nangong Hui were definitely not equivalent. The Emperor of Nan’e had hundreds of princes.

"Su Chen, you should still be cautious. The elder standing beside Nangong Hui, named Yu Qiudao, is one of the top attendants of the Nan’e Royal Family, very strong and ruthless. Over the years, he has done many bloody deeds for Nangong Hui," Su Wanqing continued, "After the auction, if things get too difficult, I can ask the attendants of the Sacred Auction House to escort you..."

Others might not know, but Su Wanqing was well aware that today Su Chen had brought three hundred and twelve billion Black Xuan Stones with him!

What kind of number is that?

Today, the combined wealth of all the strong, talented, and heirs of major forces present wouldn’t surpass that of Su Chen alone.

If Su Chen was serious about monopolizing all the treasures today, he could really do it.

By then, how many people would have their eyes on Su Chen, the biggest, fattest sheep, especially now that he had offended Nangong Hui... The likelihood of being ambushed was one hundred percent.

Therefore, when she was discussing stakes in the Sacred Auction the previous day, she casually mentioned that she could call on the help of the Sacred Auction House after today’s event.

Additionally, Su Wanqing had made her own arrangements; she had in fact brought thirteen attendants with her, all between the Third and Fifth Levels of the Qiongji Realm, to deal with any issues after the auction. Of course, none of these attendants would be entering the event, instead hiding outside the auction house.

"Wanqing, don’t worry," Su Chen smiled, not at all concerned. An ambush? He had considered it, but it didn’t faze him. If anyone truly desired to court death, he would let the Heavy Divine Sword drink a little more blood.

Soon.

The auction hall was reached.

It was spacious and luxurious.

Each seat was made of genuine leather.

However, Su Chen was somewhat surprised that there were no private rooms.

"Wanqing, why are there no private rooms?" Su Chen curiously asked.

"In order to prevent the Sacred Auction House from using their own shills to deliberately drive up the prices, whether high or low in status, the seats of the auctioneers are all equal, visible to everyone," explained Su Wanqing.

There was a certain logic to it.

Although private rooms were more luxurious, who exactly was in those rooms? Not every attendee at the auction knew, and what if one was a shill for the auction house? Deliberately bidding up the price would disadvantage the other participants.

It indeed was fair and just.

However, what did this fairness and justice bring about? Obviously, it brought about high-profile exposure!!!

Anyone bidding was under the public scrutiny of the masses.

Moreover, Su Chen had planned to sweep the entire auction today.

Su Chen smiled wryly to himself, today, he might become well-known!

Involuntarily, he asked, "Wanqing, has there ever been a wealthy individual at the Sacred Auction who bid on multiple items?"

"The most at any one auction was three years ago. That year, Nangong Wu alone won four items, which was the most ever won by a single person at a single auction in history."

"Four items? How many treasures are there in total at an auction?"

"Sixteen."

"I see."

"Normally speaking, over ninety percent of people attending the auction are eyeing just one treasure. To obtain more, firstly, they wouldn’t have enough Black Xuan Stones; secondly, it would attract too much envy. The quality of the Sacred Auction is very high, and each time, any one of the sixteen treasures could be considered a Supreme Treasure. To obtain one is already very good, and to get more, unless you’re of the same rank as Nangong Wu, the outcome is predictable..." Su Wanqing said so much, still hoping Su Chen wouldn’t be too willful. If he really swept the auction, the consequences of acting so drastically were unimaginable!

Could it be that Su Chen wanted to offend all the powerhouses of the Nan E Ancient Capital in one fell swoop?

"Where are our seats?" Su Chen asked again.

"Third row, right in the middle," Su Wanqing smiled. "It’s a very good spot."

Su Chen glanced over.

Indeed, it was a good spot.

Then, the three of them walked over. Su Chen sat in the middle, with Li Ping on his left and Su Wanqing on his right.

Afterward, Su Wanqing began to introduce Su Chen to some of the people present.

"The one on our left is the young master of the Heavenly Sword Auction House, named Tian Sanlin. The Heavenly Sword Auction House ranks second in the Nan E Ancient Capital, right after the Sacred Auction House. The Tian Family is a Top Family, and Tian Sanlin is the eldest son of the family head of the Tian Family, with a significant talent for martial cultivation, and what’s more, he is very rich."

"In front of us is the head of the Yao Family from Nan E Ancient Capital, Yao Zheng. The Yao Family is also a Top Family in the Nan E Ancient Capital. It is said that the Yao Family’s legacy dates back to Ancient Times, lasting over ten thousand years, and even the Old Ancestors of the Yao Family have lived for over a million years, being one of the most terrifying Old Monsters in the Nan E Ancient Capital."
