"400,000 purple stones!" A red-cloaked old man shouted.

"500,000 purple stones! I will not let anyone have this! Mind you!" A bald old man sneered.

Once the bidding war starts, everyone crazily bid until two old men from first-rate sects battled it out. Since no one here wanted to offend them, they just hold their rage and indignance. They knew that these two old men were infamous for being merciless from their peak until now that they aged, who would want to offend such old monsters? Not to mention, these old men held high statuses inside their own first-rate sects.

"Haha! Black Snake, you really are brave this time. Don't you remember the time I greatly razed your face to the ground until you feel humiliated when we were young? I can do that again this time, you know. Even with my old bones here, that is such an easy task." The red-cloaked old man threatened.

"And who do you think I am, Black Snake, to be afraid of you? The matter of the past is already past. Do you think with your declining power, you can defeat me who is still having most my strength when I was at my peak?" Black Snake, the bald old man, sneered. He was not afraid of Xiu Mao's power. After all, he already aged and his strength continued declining due to a huge wall of bottleneck that he was unable to pass through. If this old man gets the Breakthrough Pill advancing to a greater height. Won't it be him committing suicide? After all, once Xiu Mao gained new power recovering his peak, that would be terrifying. But on the other hand, if he got the pill, that's a different story.

"Such bold claim!" Old Xiu did not bother with this and bid, "Very well, come at me if you have the money! 700,000 purple stones!"

Everyone was shocked as they heard this. Such a huge amount! Even Jin Rou and his companions, could not help but suck a mouthful of cold air. They knew that this bid was not the final as the battle between those two old men were heated, so they grew excitedly trying to imagine the final bid of this pill! Of course, Jin Rou, who was the creator of this, was very excited. After all, he was seeing now that the problem regarding money might be solved this time around.

"It should be me saying that to you! Come at me! 800,000 purple stones!" Black Snake shouted.

"Oh? Haha! 900,000 purple stones!" Old Xiu laughed.

The audience could not help but hold their breath at the bidding war being pitted against those two old monsters. Every bid increased a terrifying hundred thousand purple stones being the lowest. Even Mao Ren, the manager of this auction house, was scared stiffed as he watched the scenes unfolding. Although he already expected this kind of scene, seeing it live was still an entire different feeling.

The two old monsters from their respective VIP rooms continued bidding, throwing money like a garbage unneeded.

"2,000,000 purple stones!" Old Xiu shouted in annoyance. This was already his limit. He did not expect that Black Snake would push him this far. Originally, he thought that he would only use at most a few more than million purple stones. But Black Snake stubbornly bid until it reached his limit, two million purple stones. Although he was feeling a sting because of the huge amount, if he could breakthrough, then what of it, right?

Black Snake closed his eyes for a moment and smiled wryly, "Okay, you win." He also reached his limit and could not fork out more than the two million purple stones.

"Haha! Just a while ago, you acted so coolly yet you could not still defeat me even in terms of money. Hahahaha! Very well, the pill is now—" Old Xiu laughed heartily but was interrupted by a sudden voice of bid, "2,010,000 purple stones."

"Who?!" Old Xiu was greatly enraged this time. Who would have thought someone still had the audacity to bid even with his status here? He traced where the voice came from and found out it came from another VIP room. He immediately recognized who was this... "Young Noble Larl... you!"

"What you, Old Xiu?" Young Noble Larl chuckled, "You don't have a problem with me battling it out for the pill, do you?"

Old Xiu grounded his teeth in displeasure and annoyance. He did not expect that the inactive young noble of the most powerful first-rate sect would participate this time. After all, with all the times he attended the grand auction, never did he participate in any bidding as the things here were insignificant and held no importance. He wanted to rebuke this young noble, but with his status and the current strength of his sect, he could not afford to bring a calamity upon himself and his sect if he so to offend this young noble. After all, Young Noble Larl was the prodigal and genius son of the sectmaster.

Besides, even he wanted to bid, he already reached his limit. So all he could do now is sulk in silence by the side in indignance.

"Heh." The young noble sneered, "Well then, —" Ironically, as he was about to claim the pill his... he was also interrupted by a sudden interjection by a voice of the bid, "2,020,000 purple stones."

Larl revealed a frowning expression, expressing his displeasure, traced where the voice came from.

It was from the mysterious number 201. Everyone was taken aback by this.

This guy had that much money? He already spent more than a hundred million purple stones for the three first items. Now, number 201 bid 2,020,000 purple stones...

Are you making a money out of thin air?

"You dared to challenge me, Larl, in a bidding match?" Larl sneered in displeasure, "Very well. 2,130,000 purple stones!"

The bidding battle lasted for only some exchanges...

"2,150,000 purple stones." Number 201 said.

"You!!" For the first time, Young Noble Larl almost broke his composure. He thought that his bid of 2,130,000 purple stones would already end it, it was also almost his limit. But to think that number 201 raised the bid by 20,000... what's sort of situation was this?
