Dual Cultivator with a cultivation system - Chapter 505

Capítulo 505: Ch-505: Auction (10), Immortal Poison Sect

“Let’s start the bidding at 500,000 coins of gold,” he said. The price was high, but fair due to the rarity of this item.

“600,000 coins of gold,” someone from the VVIP box exclaimed.

“800,000!” another spoke from the other side of the VVIP boxes.

“850,000!” someone from below where Wang Ming was sitting.

Seeing this, Wang Ming took the opportunity to make his first bid, raising his hand at that moment. “5 million coins of gold!” He announced, drawing the attention of many, as 5 million coins of gold were not for just anyone.

The girls, including the Tang sisters, although ashamed, also looked at Wang Ming in surprise. Wang Ming shrugged his shoulders and said, “Hey, it’s a rare alchemy item for making pills.”

“Makes sense, but the competition for the bid has just started,” Feng Mei said. Sure enough, while most of the people below had stopped bidding, those in the VVIP rooms took action—even the non-alchemists, as they could buy it and either hire an alchemist to refine the pill or trade the item for a pill from one.

The moment the item was unveiled, inside a different VVIP room, a duo—one old and one young—wearing sect robes with a snake symbol on the back stared at the Hydra heart with burning gazes.

“I want that! If I get that Hydra heart and refine it with the Thousand Poison Body, my cultivation will definitely rise by leaps and bounds, along with the resources of the Immortal Poison Sect,” said the young man with fervent eyes.

The Immortal Poison Sect was among the top ten sects of the Black Bamboo Kingdom, whose members specialized in poison-based techniques.

“Not again…” the person who looked like an elder said with a bitter smile.

The old man knew that at this moment nothing could stop him from buying the item.

“Young Master Li He, do you have enough money?” the old man standing next to him asked with a stiff smile.

“Of course! I have plenty of money saved up, and my father also gave me a large sum. I am confident this heart will belong to me,” said the young man with a smile.

“But, Young Master, it won’t be easy. The others also seem to like it. What if the other VVIPs want it as well?” the elder said with a sigh. His heart skipped a beat when he saw the arrogant look on the young man’s face.

“If they dare to compete against me, I will kill them and their entire family,” said the young man with a malicious smile. He was accustomed to doing such things whenever someone did not agree with him. He could be considered the legendary young master that Wang Ming had read about in Cultivation novels on Earth.

“Huh, what are you doing?” The young man looked at the elder beside him, whose face was drenched in sweat, but his expression changed when he saw a projection appear.

“F-Father,” the young man’s voice stuttered.

“You bastard! What did you just say? You want to kill someone from the VVIP boxes? Do you think we have extra lives to squander on your foolish thoughts?” the man’s voice trembled with anger. Then the projection turned to look at the elder. “If he does or even thinks about acting on those thoughts, you may kill him.”

The elder nodded hastily and then turned to look at the young man. “Just because you can act wantonly within the sect and the towns under its control does not mean you can behave the same everywhere. If you do anything to the people in the VVIP boxes, not only will you die, but your entire sect will vanish.”

The projection vanished as the young man gulped and then regained his bearings.

The auction had started, and Li He’s expression darkened when he heard someone bidding five million.

“Damn,” Li He clenched his fist.

“Young Master, I must remind you to save money for the later items, which are the main prizes. Don’t spend all your money,” the elder said.

“I know,” Li He grumbled.

“Ten million gold coins!” Li He shouted.

“Wow! Buyer 79 doesn’t seem to be joking around! He has doubled the previous bid!”the auctioneers voice rang out.

“I will get this at all costs,” he softly muttered as he placed both hands on the glass window overlooking the auction hall.

At the same time…

“Oh?” Wang Ming raised an eyebrow when he heard someone competing with him. He chuckled and immediately shouted, “Twenty million gold coins!”

“Hey, are you really interested in the Hydra heart? And how do you have so much money?” Feng Mei asked, bewildered.

“I got it from them,” Wang Ming said, pointing at the Tang siblings.

“Huh? Why would they give him money… could he…?” Feng Mei’s eyes fell on them as she scrutinized them.

Tang Ning, flustered by her gaze, said, “He sold us pills, and we gave him the coins.”

“Oh?” Feng Mei raised an eyebrow, nodded, and asked, “How much did you get from them?”

“Four hundred million gold coins,” Wang Ming replied.

Feng Mei maintained an indifferent expression; gold coins were meaningless to her.

Ten minutes later

“Grrr… who is that bastard!? I will drown him in venom!” Li He growled in anger.

“One hundred million gold coins!” Li He shouted and said, “I dare you to bid higher!”

For the past ten minutes or so, he and Wang Ming had been at each other’s throats, continuously outbidding one another. It had gotten to the point where the price had risen to a whopping one hundred million gold coins. By now, all the other contestants had pulled out. It was just the two of them.

“1… 2… 3… Sold for one hundred million!” the auctioneer’s voice rang out, and Li He pumped his fist.

“Yes!” Li He celebrated, and the elder beside him wiped the sweat from his brow.

“It’s good that he didn’t touch the spirit stones,” the elder thought in relief. Those were left to be used for the main event.
