"700,000,000! Going once! Going twice! Sold to the person of the third VIP room!" Xiaorong announced.

Silence struck the auction hall.

No one spoke, and the sound of a needle will be heard if it ever hits the ground. Wang Ling was enjoying the silence as he laughed silently not letting anyone hear him.

Bai Xue continued eating while watching the awkward silence of the room, she was enjoying it.

It took a while for the elder on the seventh VIP room to regain his senses and shouted out loud, "You brat, you are going to waste such treasure in someone who has yet to step on energy palace stage? You dare steal such a treasure away and humiliate me like this?"

Wang Ling merely smirked from inside the room as he answered with great elegance and humility, "Please do not say such words, I mean not to offend elder as I merely wish to be honest. Yue'er is a talented child in the way of the bow, she is a genius, a prodigy even. Such treasure being gifted to her. Her archery is stuck at lthe second level of mastery for a while because she lacks the time to train in archery.

"She is overly excited for having gained the ability to cultivate that she spent two years straight cultivating. Isn't that quite cu… moving on, what I mean to say from all this is that my giving her a gift such as this might struck a chord inside her and start focusing on archery again while balancing her time in cultivation.

"If my words have offended Elder, please, accept the apologies of this ignorant youth. I was merely trying to get what is best for my dear sister. "

The elder was silent and said nothing more after that.

From the sudden exchange, there were two things they learned about the First Young Master of the Wang Family. He was kind and caring for his family. With kindness, talent, a handsome face, and strength that could contend to the best of the best.

In a manner of seconds, Wang Ling gained the approval of many young maidens who were also attending the auction hall. He became a hot item in the eyes of many maiden.

Just like men, women also have desires for top-quality 'meat'. In their eyes, Wang Ling was someone who was prime meat with everything one could ask. And with nobles knowing of his moniker Bloody Maelstrom, it was clear that he was a great warrior of great prowess.

Strong and kind, honest and pure, these words were the words used to describe First Young Master of the Wang Family. He had gained the approval of many maidens.

Xiaorong who was supposed to smite the entire room also found Wang Ling as kind of interesting and borderline attractive. Also, he was stacked with money and he had good backgrounds.

Also, the Young Miss was apparently a prodigy who had reached great heights on the path of archery at such a young age.

Getting off tracked, Xiaorong had the Sky Sovereign Bow was taken away and be carefully put the item somewhere else before continuing with the auction. The seven items were sold for pretty good prices, but the price for the Sky Sovereign could not be top.

The Wang Family's wealth was something else, they all thought to themselves.

Wang Ling who was on the third VIP room once again went back to passively sitting to watch the bidding happen. Aside from occasionally messing with Xie Hai who was at the fourth VIP room by suddenly increasing the bid by a little, Wang Ling never truly did anything noteworthy.

Aside from bidding for another grade-4 artifact that happened to be a spear he would gift to Wang Hong, Wang Ling found all of the items boring and uninteresting.

The celestial-grade cultivation techniques were also useless to him and his clan for all of these techniques was already imprinted in his mind. Though he did find some of the techniques truly interesting to actually making it into the current era.

He found it interesting that they were lucky enough to be found. Other than that, the auction once again became stale for him. But that does not mean it was the same for the other guests as they were having fierce competitions for the items they wish to obtain.

Even the True Devil Academy bought a saber that came from the previous era. It was the saber of the [Black Devil Celestial] who was considered amongst the dark forces in the olden times.

The second half of the auction was finished and Wang Ling was yawning as he waited for the main even to come out.

"Now that our guests have warmed up. We will now move to the main event of the auction. As per tradition, we will present three items for tonight. I will not bore you with my talks, now please observe the three main attraction of this night."

Three girls walked in with three carts covered in black curtains. Just like before, Wang Ling stared at them with no interest whatsoever. Xiaorong walked over to one of the carts and opened it herself.

A slab of jet black stone that was merely a few dozen inches big appeared.

"The first item would be the Devil's Curse, an item that was said to have come from Hell Realm itself. An item of unknown properties and potentials. It might be shrouded in a thick fog of mystery, but even in this form, its value already surpasses that of most pills.

"The dense devilish qi and even some hellish qi dwells in the core of the Devil's Curse. It helps anyone who cultivates in the path of devils! The bidding will start at 500,000,000 stellar stones, the increment must be at least 10,000,000 for it to be valid! Let the bidding, begin!"

"1,000,000,000!" A sudden shout!

Xiaorong and became quiet. The shout came from the second VIP room.

Xiaorong snapped out of her daze and looked around and question, "Is there anyone who will bid for the Devil's Curse?"

"1,200,000,000!" It came from the first VIP room.

"1,300,000,000!" It was from the fourth VIP room.

"1,400,000,000!" It came from the second VIP room.

"1,450,000,000!" the first VIP room retaliated.

"1,500,000,000!" the fourth VIP room.

With staggering numbers, the bidding continued and as it reached 2,000,000,000 from the True Devil Academy's side. Everything seemed to be calming down. Even Xioarong believed that it was over and she prepared to say her lines.

"2,000,000,000! Going once! Going twice! Going thric…!"

It was then that was familiar voice shouted, "2,500,000,000!"

It was from the third VIP room where Wang Ling resides.

Xiaorong was jolted and everyone had been stupefied once again. They all thought, not you again.
