Chapter Twelve: Frenzied Struggle

  As soon as this was said, Chu Cheng's face suddenly sank in the No. 5 private room.

  This voice sounds familiar, and he just killed that guy a little while ago.

  Chu Man Long, the eldest son of the Baron of Southern Wilderness!

  "This guy... has a grudge against you?" The Butterfly Thief blinked her big eyes, sizing up Chu Cheng with a curious expression.

  Obviously, for Chucheng, he wanted to know more.

  "Hmph, just a savage big worm, sooner or later I'll wipe him out!" Chu Cheng cursed and asked again: "Girl, how much money do you have exactly? Give me an exact number! Don't worry, after I auction off the Life Jade Box, I'll return it to you!"

  "Damn it! That Life Orb is mine, mine, mine!" The Butterfly Thief girl muttered a few words, pouting and saying: "You can indulge in it for now, but you have to return me double!"

  "I'll pay you back three times! Give me a good thrashing, Chu Mang Long!" Chu Cheng said in anger.

  Butterfly Thief Girl: “......”

  With Chu Cheng's guarantee, the Butterfly Thief girl was not afraid to spend money and immediately shouted loudly: "Two million gold coins! Savage big bug, you have the ability to come ah come ah! My family's Chu Cheng young master said that he would use money to smash you to death!"

  Chu City: "......"

  Let's not mention this side for now, and talk about the scene in room three. Chu Man Long, who was two meters tall, had an angry expression on his face, clenched his fists, and slammed one of them onto the table. The hard table immediately split into four or five pieces.

  "Damn it! That damn Wang Ba Dan in Chucheng! Hmph, how much money do we have left?"

  On the side, an old man respectfully said: "Young master, we brought a total of 20 million out, but this is for several good things and the final Life Jade Box. The old master said that this Life Jade Box must be obtained!"

  "Shut up, I know! Fine, no more price increase. Let's see if that poor guy from Chu City can come up with the money! 200,000 gold coins!"

  After Chu Man Long gave up, no one bid again. In the end, Qi Jing announced that the long gun "Ji Guang" belonged to Chu Cheng.

  In Room Five, an attendant brought over "Jiguang", its black body captivating the heart.

  "How beautiful!" The Butterfly Thief girl's eyes sparkled.

  "Alright, I'll take a closer look later, hurry up and give me the money!" Chu Cheng's face was beaming with joy. He patted Chu Man Long on the head, feeling extremely pleased.

  "Ah oh." The Butterfly Thief reluctantly shifted his gaze away from "Jing Guang", and with a flick of his hand, a shiny card appeared in his hand.

  "This is... the Infinite Treasury's Infinite Crystal Card? How did you get it?" Chu Cheng looked at the Butterfly Thief Girl with an incredulous expression.

  Wú Liàng Bǎo Gé, one of the world's three largest commercial alliances, with business spanning every corner of the world. It can be said that wherever there are people, Wú Liàng Bǎo Gé is present.

  In the city of Shan Yang, there was also a branch of Wu Liang Bao Ge, but unfortunately, 12 years ago, that great disaster, the branch was destroyed and has not been reopened since.

  Wu Liang Bao Ge issued a money card, called Qi Bao Card, which is divided into seven types: Zhen Yin Card, Zi Jin Card, Zhuo Pearl Card, Hu Po Card, Liu Li Card, Shui Jing Card and Bai Yu Card.

  The minimum amount for a Silver Card is 1,000 gold coins, and the maximum amount is 10,000 gold coins. The minimum amount for a Purple Gold Card is 10,000 gold coins, and the maximum amount is 100,000 gold coins. Pearl Cards range from 100,000 to 1 million gold coins, Amber Cards range from 1 million to 10 million gold coins, and Lapis Lazuli Cards range from 10 million to 100 million gold coins. Crystal Cards range from 100 million to 1 billion gold coins, and White Jade Cards range from 1 billion to 10 billion gold coins.

  That is to say, this crystal card must have at least 100 million gold coins! How much money is that?!

  Chu Cheng looked at Hu Die Dao as if he was looking at a shining human-shaped gold vault.

  "What's this little kid looking at? I'm telling you, don't get any ideas! You should know that this card is bound to my soul and only I can withdraw the money!" The Butterfly Thief girl glared fiercely at Chu Cheng, flipped her hand, and a small pile of gold coins fell to the ground. No need to count, it was exactly 2 million."

  Chu Cheng shook his head and thought to himself that he must take advantage of this young girl.

  The money card issued by Wu Liangbao Pavilion is actually a very special spatial mysterious device, which is bound to the user's soul and merges into the user's body.

  It has a certain internal space that can store spatial goods. And it itself is also a small trading platform, which can trade directly with Wu Liangbao Pavilion.

  Of course, the amount of transactions is limited by the money card itself.

  Chu Cheng had long wanted one, but he was too poor. You see, the price of each 7 Treasures Card is one-tenth of its minimum value...

  The auction is still ongoing.

  Soon, one by one, the items were sold at auction, and some of them even fetched prices higher than "Jiguang".

  It was near dusk when the last ranking finally appeared.

  "Life jade box! Life jade box! This is the life jade box!" Qi Jing held the pale green life jade box in both hands, with a smile all over his face, excited: "This is the life jade box that can store living things! The life jade box of human miracle!"

  "Think about it, if your loved ones are seriously injured and on the verge of death, but you have no way to save them, what would you do? Put them in a Life Pod, and they will remain in that state forever until you find a way to cure them!"

  "Think about it, if you have a lot of elixirs that you can't use for the time being, but their efficacy will decrease over time, how distressing would that be? With the Life Storage Box, you won't have to worry anymore!"

  "This is the Philosopher's Stone! The Philosopher's Stone of human miracles!"

  "The auction is now starting! The minimum price is 500,000 gold coins, and each bid increase must be at least 10,000 gold coins!"

  The reserve price is 500,000 gold coins. This is absolutely the highest reserve price that Shanyang Auction House has ever had, and it immediately caused a stir.

  However, those who were astonished and complained were only the local small wealthy merchants and small aristocrats of Shanyang City. The real big shots of Shanyang City and the noble guests from outside all focused their attention, exerted their strength, and were determined to get the Life Jade Box.

  They only truly understood the value of life's jade pendant.

  "Five hundred thousand gold coins? Does it live up to the title of Life Jade Box? Hmph, Shan Yang City is indeed a small place, how petty! One million gold coins, I'll take the Life Jade Box!"

  A loud and coarse voice rang out, and everyone's eyes focused on the last row of seats in the hall, a burly man with a thick beard.

  This is a red-haired giant, at least three meters tall, with forearms thicker than others' thighs, but skin and bones, the whole person looks like a skeleton wrapped in skin, very scary. As soon as he came in, he attracted attention. However, he never opened his mouth to bid, unexpectedly, it was specifically for the Life Jade Box that he came.

  "Red-haired devil, Red William, you look like a demon and act like a ghost! You once slaughtered 31,842 people in one night, leaving a trail of blood and tears. How dare you want the Life Jade Box? I'll give you 12 million!" Sun Yan's fan closed with a snap, his face stern.

  "Haha, Jin Yaocheng's son, Sun Yan? What does the Life Jade Box have to do with you? If you've got skills, compare them to gold coins! 13 million!" Red William showed no fear towards Sun Yan.

  "Well said! This is an auction house, whoever has the most money has the skill! I'll give 14 million!" Another voice rang out, this was a middle-aged man with a big belly, seemingly a wealthy businessman.

  "One hundred and fifty thousand gold coins! I've been killing people and plundering for thirty years, nothing else but more gold coins!" Red William refused to give in.

  "One hundred sixty thousand! The Life Orb can't be given to you, Red William!"

  ……

  "It seems that this time, the struggle for the Life Jade Box is not as easy as I imagined! There are too many powerful outsiders!" In compartment No. 4, Dongfang San sighed. Behind him, Dongfang Ye and Dongfang Xiang'er stood on either side, both staring at the Life Jade Box on the auction stage.

  "Indeed, but I think the first one to leave should be Chuyan Long, right?" Dongfang Ye smiled slyly.

  "Chu Man Long? The Southern Wilderness Prefecture looks impressive, but in reality, among the four major powers, their family is actually the poorest. At most, they can only take out 5 million, not enough, not enough!" Dongfang San Yi chuckled to himself.

  "Right, Father, why don't we bid? If our family wants to bid, I'm sure no one can outbid us?" Dongfang Ye didn't understand.

  The other day, Dongfang Sanyi said that he must get the Life Jade Box, but I don't know why he suddenly changed his mind.

  "Alas, I was thinking that." Dongfang San suddenly let out a sigh and glanced at the wealthy merchant, saying: "Unfortunately, we can't surpass them, nor can we afford to offend them!"

  In the next room, Chu Man Long's face had turned so gloomy that it could have frozen into ice.

  "Where the hell did all these people come from, and they're all rich! Give me a break, give it your all! Besides these two million, how much more money can we mobilize?"

  "The old man said with respect: 'Thirty million, that's the family's reserve fund, it can't be easily used!'"

  "Bring it all over! Bring everything over! This Life Jade Box is related to the survival of our family!"

  "Yes!"

  ……

  At this time, in the ten private rooms, almost everyone was urgently mobilizing funds. The price of Life Jade Box had far exceeded their expectations and quickly soared to two million, with no signs of slowing down.

  Only in Room 5 did Chu Cheng Le's face break into a smile.

  "Wow, there are so many rich people! They're all showing off their wealth, at least it's gotta be 50 million or more!"

  "Cut it out! No use!" The Butterfly Thief's eyes rolled around: "Wow, that Chu Man Long is also joining in, do you want me to help you vent?"

  "Let it out?" Chu Cheng was taken aback: "You wouldn't be thinking of..."

  "Bingo! You guessed it!" The Butterfly Thief girl was like a little devil: "You said Chu Man Long could take out the most money?"

  "Five hundred million!" Chu Cheng didn't hesitate: "All the industries they own, the daily profits, I know them all! Out of these three hundred million, there are also three hundred million that are reserve funds, which cannot be easily touched! That is the foundation of the family!"

  "Heh heh, that's easy then." The Butterfly Thief girl raised her voice by an octave: "Four million!"

  40 million!

  From two million to four million directly, the whole auction house was suddenly quiet, and everyone was shocked.

  "My god, 40 million! How can that poor devil from Chu City have so much money? I don't believe it!" Chu Manlong slammed his hand on the table: "50 million!"

  He's going all out, throwing in a large sum of money at once, trying to force the price down and intimidate others.

  However, he really underestimated the ruthlessness of the Butterfly Thief Girl.

  "Five hundred and one ten thousand!" The butterfly said as the girl's lips lightly opened.
