The bidding was still ongoing. Besides the older generation, the Noble Families had also started making their moves.

The bidding reached the astronomical price of seven Heaven and Earth Spiritual Veins!

The older-generation experts of the Nirvana Realm could only watch, unable to continue. Having already spent eight Spirit Veins on a Holy Bone, they could no longer afford to bid.

Even Ye Wushuang hadn't expected the Noble Families to be so wealthy!

"I bid eight Heaven and Earth Spiritual Veins!" Jing Kang shouted, his tone incredibly magnanimous, as if showing off how many Spirit Veins his Jing Family possessed!

"Damn it, Jing Kang, you coward. What's there to be so smug about? Trying to see who has more Spirit Veins, are we? This young master bids nine!"

That character Dongfang Youdi also chimed in to stir things up, his lazy tone making people want to go up and kick him a couple of times.

"Dongfang, you pest! Do you really have to pick a fight with my Jing Family?"

Jing Kang's rage soared to the heavens; he desperately wanted to kill Dongfang Youdi.

"This young master is picking a fight with your Jing Family, so what are you gonna do about it? If you've got the guts, then bid. This young master will play along."

Dongfang Youdi's gangster-like posture made Jing Kang's anger flare. "You want to bid? This old man will play along! I bid ten!"

The rivalry was on!

The crowd below was stunned. Jing Kang and Dongfang Youdi were clashing. With two scions of Noble Families competing, there was a good show to watch.

"This young master bids eleven!"

Dongfang Youdi shouted. Of course, no one could see the sly grin on his face at that moment.

"I bid twelve!"

Jing Kang's eyes were red with anger as he immediately followed up. Even Jing Hui didn't have time to stop him!

"Thirteen!"

"Fourteen!"

"Twenty!"

"Twenty-one!"

When Dongfang Youdi shouted the number "twenty," the crowd was momentarily dumbfounded. Of course, what dumbfounded them even more was that Jing Kang actually followed.

He had just been humiliated by Ye Wushuang and had no outlet for his anger.

Now Dongfang Youdi was challenging him again. How could he endure it? He was about to explode with rage, completely lost his reason, and threw out a number without thinking.

Jing Hui, in another private room, couldn't react in time to stop him!

"Hahaha, Jing the big coward, you're not a coward this time! Twenty-one Heaven and Earth Spiritual Veins... This young master can't afford that. It's all yours."

In an instant, Dongfang Youdi burst out laughing, laughing so hard he could have fallen over.

To the side, Ye Wushuang also started laughing. A single Holy Bone had sold for twenty-one Heaven and Earth Spiritual Veins, and he was the one who benefited.

"Idiot!"

Jing Hui also cursed, his brow covered by a dark cloud.

"I... You bastard! Dongfang, you pest, you tricked me!"

Jing Kang suddenly snapped back to his senses and realized what had happened, his expression changing drastically.

"So what if this young master tricked you? Twenty-one Spirit Veins... the Jing Family is truly wealthy and powerful. This young master is impressed," Dongfang Youdi said with a sinister smile, completely unabashed.

Everyone's faces darkened. Only that pest Dongfang could be so arrogant after tricking someone.

However, that Jing Kang was also plenty stupid.

"Shopkeeper Cheng, twenty-one Spirit Veins. That's an astronomical price. You can announce the result now."

Dongfang Youdi called out to Cheng Xuan.

"It doesn't count! It doesn't count! He tricked me!"

Jing Kang's face became ferocious.

The Jing Family could afford twenty-one Spirit Veins.

However, if he spent twenty-one Spirit Veins on a single Holy Bone, his father would probably beat him to death when he got back.

"Third Young Master Jing, you shouted the bid yourself. Everyone heard you. How can it not count? Otherwise, I won't be able to answer to the other bidders."

Cheng Xuan said.

Hearing this, Jing Kang's face twisted ferociously as he roared, "Bastard! He tricked me, didn't you see? Does your Ten Thousand Treasures Celestial Workshop want to keep doing business in the Holy City or not...?"

"Idiot! That's enough! Shut your mouth!" Hearing Jing Kang's tirade, Jing Hui's voice deepened as he roared.

The resonant voice made Jing Kang's body tremble.

Immediately, Jing Hui looked at Shopkeeper Cheng, whose expression had turned cold, and said, "Shopkeeper Cheng, my younger brother has offended you. Please forgive him. The Jing Family is willing to pay the twenty-one Spirit Veins to purchase this Holy Bone."

Hearing this, the crowd's eyes narrowed. Jing Hui had compromised.

However, many people were aware of how terrifying the Ten Thousand Treasures Celestial Workshop was. Not even the Holy Palace dared to provoke it, let alone the Jing Family.

Ye Wushuang also frowned, shocked by Jing Hui's reaction. Even after suffering a loss, he hadn't lost his composure. His temperament was truly frightening.

"Master, Jing Hui is wary of the Ten Thousand Treasures Celestial Workshop!" said the Shadow Demon King.

"Why?" Ye Wushuang asked.

"Because while the Ten Thousand Treasures Celestial Workshop appears to be just an auction house on the surface, its backing is terrifyingly powerful. Rumor has it that it's backed by a family of assassins capable of assassinating Saints. Not even the Holy Palace dares to offend them."

The Shadow Demon King revealed a secret.

'An assassin family?'

'Assassinating Saints?'

Ye Wushuang's eyes narrowed. 'Why does that feel so similar to the Blood Feather Tower?'

'However, the Blood Feather Tower Master, Mengyun Pojun, is only in the Yin Yang Realm. He can't assassinate Saints!'

'And that scent... wait a minute...'

Ye Wushuang seemed to have thought of something. That scent was a bit like Mengyun Wulei's!

"Master, what's wrong?"

Seeing that Ye Wushuang's expression was off, the Shadow Demon King asked.

"It's nothing!" Ye Wushuang replied, thinking to himself, 'After the auction is over, I must get to the bottom of this!'

"The next item up for auction is the *Talisman Introduction Treasure Manual*. This is a foundational manual for inscribing talismans..."

Cheng Xuan gave a lengthy explanation, which immediately captured Ye Wushuang's attention.

Having previously witnessed the terror of the Thunder Tribulation Talisman, Ye Wushuang had learned about the benefits of inscribing talismans from the Dragon Cat and had been thinking about it ever since.

But he hadn't expected to find one here. Even though it was just an introductory manual, it was more than attractive enough for him.

"The starting price is eight million, with each bid increment no less than one hundred thousand."

After an explanation that let everyone understand how heaven-defying the *Talisman Introduction Treasure Manual* was, the bidding began.

"Eight million five hundred thousand!"

"Eight million eight hundred thousand!"

...

"Thirteen million!"

The price soared. Ye Wushuang also made a move, shouting, "Fourteen million!"

"Fifteen million!" Young Master Xie Qing also shouted.

"Sixteen million!" the Dragon King also shouted.

Seeing the bidding was so fierce, Ye Wushuang cut the nonsense and shouted, "Twenty million!"

"Twenty-one million!"

A voice from the Zong Family rang out.

"Twenty-two million!"

Ye Wushuang's gaze turned cold as he continued to shout.

"Twenty-three million!"

The person from the Zong Family casually tossed out the bid, as if Spirit Stones meant nothing to him.

Ye Wushuang frowned. After buying the Five Elements Void Stone and the Five Spirits Profound Heart Technique, he only had a little over twenty million Spirit Stones left.

But at that moment, Dongfang Youdi's voice rang out, "I'm telling you, Ye Wushuang, my dad said that from now on, the Dongfang Family is your family. You can do whatever the hell you want."

The crowd immediately burst into an uproar. Ye Wushuang had the Dongfang Family's backing? How was that possible?

And he could "do whatever the hell he wants"!

Hearing this, a glint flashed in Ye Wushuang's eyes and he suddenly smiled. "Many thanks. In that case, I bid thirty million!"

Thirty million!

Hearing this, the crowd collectively rolled their eyes. Was he treating the Dongfang Family's Spirit Stones like they weren't real Spirit Stones?

The person from the Zong Family frowned and shouted, "Thirty-one million!"

"Forty million!"

Ye Wushuang shouted again. 'Since I have to bring that troublemaker Dongfang Youdi along with me, it's only right to make the Dongfang Family bleed a little.'

However, his "bleeding" nearly gave everyone a heart attack.

'An increase of nearly ten million at once... this isn't bidding, this is trying to bankrupt the Dongfang Family!'

The Dragon King, Young Master Xie Qing, the Taoo Hua Fairy, and the others all looked toward Ye Wushuang's private room, speechless for a long moment.

Dongfang Youdi was also dumbfounded, cursing inwardly, 'This kid is too ruthless!'

The person from the Zong Family's eyelids twitched. He immediately shut his mouth and lost his nerve, worried that if he kept bidding, Ye Wushuang would simply withdraw.

In the end, Ye Wushuang won the *Talisman Introduction Treasure Manual* for the high price of forty million.

This left the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc and the Shadow Demon King completely dumbfounded.

As for the person from the Zong Family, he had lost all will to continue!
