In the subsequent auctions, neither Xue Mingtai nor Fan Yi raised their paddles.

Fan Yi could see that although Xue Mingtai appeared calm and composed, the slight tremor at the corner of his eyes had already betrayed his anxious mood.

Fan Yi secretly sighed; no wonder Xue Mingtai was so anxious.

In Yinxue Tower, without authentic Cultivation Laws, they would always be reduced to outer door disciples of the Xuantian Sect, being exploited and drained for money.

Given the current financial situation of Yinxue Tower, it probably wouldn't sustain itself for another year.

At that time, the entire Yinxue Tower would collapse suddenly, and this former number one Holy Land of the martial arts world would naturally become a joke.

This time, it was heard that a damaged copy of a Cultivation Technique would appear at the auction.

Xue Mingtai even mortgaged Jingshui Villa, determined to acquire it.

Sure enough, after a new round of auction ended, the elder announced triumphantly.

"Next, we will present the most precious treasure in this auction."

"This is a genuine Cultivation Technique, though incomplete, everyone knows its value."

Saying this, the elder waved, speaking even louder.

"This Cultivation Technique is called the Qi Drawing Technique, and I guarantee it is the genuine article, unique and unmatched."

Immediately, everyone was stirred; many wore expressions of excitement and eagerness.

It was evident that not only Xue Mingtai was determined to get the Qi Drawing Technique; many shared the same intention.

After the elder finished speaking, two men in black suits carried a safe to the stage.

Through the alloy glass of the safe, everyone could see a yellowed booklet inside.

That booklet indeed lacked a few pages, faintly stained with a purple-black liquid.

Those present were all knowledgeable individuals.

Upon seeing the purple-black liquid, their hearts tightened, clearly recognizing it as the color formed by coagulated blood.

This damaged Qi Drawing Technique had indeed cost a life!

The appearance of the Qi Drawing Technique quickly pushed the auction's atmosphere to its peak.

The starting price for the Qi Drawing Technique was 20 million, and amid the competitive bidding, it swiftly broke the hundred-million mark.

This daunting number continued to surge upwards with each 20 million increase.

Gradually, in the Qingyun Society's auction hall, only three or four voices remained, continually placing bids.

Among them, Xue Mingtai's clear and composed voice was particularly noticeable.

"350 million!"

Xue Mingtai raised his paddle, his expression calm and unperturbed.

"360 million!"

A fierce-looking big man, following closely behind Xue Mingtai, raised his paddle, determined not to let go.

"400 million!"

Another white-haired elder, without any fluctuation of Spiritual Energy, placidly made a 400-million bid.

This time, Xue Mingtai did not hesitate and directly reported an even more shocking number.

"500 million!"

The fierce-looking big man finally lost steam.

He murmured as if intending to curse, but ultimately swallowed his frustration and left Qingyun Society without looking back.

Seeing Xue Mingtai being so straightforward, the elder also raised his bid.

"600 million!"

Xue Mingtai didn't even lift his eyes, reporting the next price in an even more resolute and decisive tone.

"700 million!"

...

In an instant, Xue Mingtai and the white-haired elder chased each other, quickly driving the price to 1.2 billion.

The people in the Qingyun Society's hall watched as Xue Mingtai recklessly increased the price, each one wide-eyed.

"Who said Yinxue Tower is about to collapse?"

Seeing Xue Mingtai's carefree and casual demeanor, only the heavens know how deep the resources of Yinxue Tower truly are.

However, some took pleasure in watching the spectacle with mocking grins.

These people were aware of Yinxue Tower's situation, knowing this was merely Xue Mingtai gambling everything on one chance.

As long as this Qi Drawing Technique landed in Xue Mingtai's hands, with the cleverness of Xue Mingtai and An Zichen, they could potentially unravel many mysteries, perhaps even completing the fragmented Qi Drawing Technique.

Then, Yinxue Tower would finally have its own Cultivation Laws, giving it the confidence to counter Xuantian Sect.

Therefore, seeing Xue Mingtai paying all costs to obtain the Qi Drawing Technique, some sighed while others watched, gloating.

Strangely, the elder was equally stubborn.

This damaged Cultivation Technique had reached a bid of 1.2 billion, yet the elder still wouldn't relent.

He raised his paddle: "1.3 billion!"

Xue Mingtai couldn't help but grit his teeth, his hand shaking as he raised the paddle.

"1.4 billion!"

Fan Yi, standing beside him, felt secretly pained.

Suave and charming Young Master Ming Tai, able to spend so freely, wealth comparable to nations, whose ever seen him being driven by money to this state?

Fan Yi knew well that Xue Mingtai had mortgaged Jingshui Villa, paid off many debts earlier on, leaving only 1.5 billion now.

If Xue Mingtai couldn't drive out the elder before reaching 1.5 billion, then the auction would fail.

Xue Mingtai ultimately wouldn't acquire this Cultivation Technique.

Seeing the elder intent on raising his paddle, Xue Mingtai abruptly did something no one could have expected.

He left his seat, approached the elder, and bowed deeply to him.

"I wonder if the esteemed elder could show mercy to me, Xue Mingtai?"

Hearing this, Fan Yi felt his head buzz, golden stars rushing before his eyes, overwhelmed by both grief and anger.

Noble Tsinghua's Xue Mingtai actually bowing and scraping to a stranger for money!

This was not only Xue Mingtai's humiliation but also Yinxue Tower's disgrace.

The elder was taken aback, suspiciously glancing at Xue Mingtai, seeing his face full of earnestness, suddenly comprehending, and then coldly chuckled.

"Who would have thought, Xue Mingtai would actually beg, hahaha!"

His laughter was filled with sarcasm; Fan Yi felt as though his ears were speared by countless steel needles, feeling indescribably discomforted and mournful.

Noble Young Master Ming Tai was indeed forced into this by the damnable circumstances!

Watching the elder laugh heartily, Xue Mingtai's expression remained quietly calm like water, maintaining his bowed posture.

"This Qi Drawing Technique holds significant meaning for us, please, elder, fulfill this request."

After laughing, the elder's eyes were full of disdain.

"Alright, for the sake of the Martial God, I'll grant you this favor."

"However, you'll have to kowtow to me three times.

Xue Mingtai stared intently at the Qi Drawing Technique in the safe, his knee bending, preparing to kneel without hesitation.

Just at that moment, Fan Yi shouted and rushed behind Xue Mingtai, supporting him.

"No, Young Master Ming Tai, you are the Alliance Hierarch of Yinxue Tower; how can you kneel to someone? Let me kneel on your behalf."

Fan Yi said, then straightforwardly knelt before the elder, knocking his head three times.

Everyone gasped in astonishment.

Whether it be Xue Mingtai or Fan Yi, both were grandmasters famous throughout the martial arts world.

Yet now, they knelt before someone, pleading for a Cultivation Technique.

Were it not that Yinxue Tower was in dire straits, they wouldn't have been reduced to this.

The elder looked at Fan Yi, who had finished kowtowing, and coldly chuckled.

"Since that's the case, I'll let you have this Qi Drawing Technique."

Xue Mingtai and Fan Yi exchanged glances, their smiles both bitter and comforting.

A few minutes later, Xue Mingtai paid via check and finally acquired the damaged version of the Qi Drawing Technique.

At this moment, the white-haired elder suddenly burst into laughter, merrily.

"Xue Mingtai, you've been duped."
