Creation of the Universe

With Jia Zhong's financial resources, it was no problem for him to take both of these third-grade spiritual weapons into his pocket.

But his competitor is King Kitano, so how could the other party be willing to give up?

That's why Jia Zhong asked Shen Zhan for advice. At least he had to choose one of the two and distinguish the primary and secondary importance. Only in this way could he be targeted and compete with King Beiye.

Shen Zhan told Jia Zhong, "Soul-Suppressing Iron certainly looks more attractive. It's widely applicable to people of different levels of cultivation, and can even be refined into a good weapon. But given the current situation, Lingxi Horn would be more suitable for you."

"Okay, then I want the rhinoceros horn."

Jia Zhong said this with a solemn oath.

"How much capital did you bring this time?"

"A total of twenty spirit crystals."

Twenty spirit crystals are equivalent to one hundred thousand spirit stones, which is more than enough to buy two third-grade spiritual weapons. However, in order to ensure that he can defeat King Beiye and successfully get what he wants, Shen Zhan gave Jia Zhong some advice.

He first asked, "Jia Zhong, how many spirit crystals do you think King Beiye can produce?"

Jia Zhong thought for a moment and replied with great confidence, "In Wubei City, our Jia family and the Bei family have always stood shoulder to shoulder. However, the Bei family has produced several talented people with good cultivation attainments, while our family has never been able to do so. Therefore, we have been suppressed by the Bei family in terms of momentum.

But when it comes to business, the Bei family's brains are simply not enough. They are not as good at management as our Jia family. When it comes to financial resources, they are not worth mentioning at all.

I guess the number of spirit crystals King Beiye brought with him this time will not exceed fifteen."

"Fifteen spirit crystals are equivalent to about 70,000 spirit stones. One hundred thousand versus seventy thousand is a clear advantage. It seems we have a lot of room for maneuver."

Shen Zhan seemed to have a good idea in mind and showed a calm and confident smile.

Jia Zhong asked curiously, "My benefactor, what method do you have to deal with King Beiye? Tell me quickly."

"As long as you do what I say, you will get both third-grade spiritual weapons. Later you..."

Shen Zhan gave Jia Zhong careful instructions in his ear, and when he got to the key point, the latter's eyes suddenly lit up, and he could no longer suppress his joy.

In Jia Zhong's expectation, it would be a success if he could bring back a third-grade spiritual weapon this time. Moreover, the shackles that hindered his improvement in cultivation have been broken. This trip to Cangmang Mountain is of great significance to him.

But now Shen Zhan told him that not only that, the two third-grade spiritual weapons in front of him could be obtained by him, which was really a huge surprise.

At this time, the auctioneer announced to everyone present, "These two third-grade spiritual artifacts are extremely rare. I hope you can seize the opportunity. I believe that if you miss today, there may not be another grand occasion where two third-grade spiritual artifacts are unveiled at the same time.

Those who practice cultivation must seize every opportunity and improve their cultivation through various effective methods. The spiritual weapon in front of them is the best help.

The auction for these two spiritual weapons will begin simultaneously. Everyone can bid freely, and the highest bidder will win in the end."

The auctioneer was indeed a man of his trade, and with just a few words he had whetted everyone's appetite. Unfortunately, everyone knew very well that they probably could not compete with Jia Zhong and Beiye Wang in terms of financial resources.

The chance of getting a bargain this time is really slim.

At this moment, in a dark corner that no one noticed, the black-clothed young man who had previously attracted Shen Zhan's attention was staring deeply at the spiritual weapon on the stage, wondering what he was thinking.

He had not participated in the bidding for any item before, and seemed to have set his sights on the two most valuable third-grade spiritual items. However, judging by his clothing, figure and temperament, he did not seem to have the financial resources to compete for them.

King Beiye thought secretly: The Soul-Calming Iron must be more useful than the Rhinoceros Horn. According to common sense, Jia Zhong must have also set his eyes on the Soul-Calming Iron.

Humph, I will never let him succeed!

"I'll give you two spirit crystals to buy the rhinoceros horn!"

An elderly wealthy businessman was the first to make an offer. He also guessed that Jia Zhong and King Beiye’s primary target must be the Soul-Suppressing Iron, so he hoped to snatch the Lingxi Horn at a lower price.

"Four spirit crystals, I want the soul-suppressing iron!"

"Three pieces of spirit crystals and the rhinoceros horn are mine!"

Those who were interested in obtaining these two third-grade spiritual weapons made their bids one after another. Although there were not many people bidding, the competition was quite fierce.

King Beiye folded his arms across his chest, looking at these people with disdain, and sneered, "You are all wishful thinking people. With me here, you dare to compete with me?"

What concerned him was that Jia Zhong had not made an offer until now, which seemed a bit abnormal.

One of the men said, "Master, why hasn't that idiot Jia Zhong made any move? When did he become so calm?"

King Beiye glanced sideways and said, "Don't worry. That kid relies on his family's wealth and is always arrogant. He probably wants to wait until everyone else has bid as much as they can, then offer a price that no one else can afford, and then show off his power."

"I want to see if he has the ability to snatch the spiritual weapon from me!"

The subordinate nodded, but then said worriedly: "Master is certainly very resourceful, but that kid named Jia is indeed very wealthy, so we must be on guard."

King Beiye said disapprovingly, "When he left Wubei City, Jia Zhong might have taken more spirit crystals than I did, but that fool must have squandered them lavishly in Cangmang Town down the mountain, getting scammed by those cunning merchants. Now, I'm sure he definitely doesn't have more spirit crystals left in his pocket than I do."

"Master is wise! When we return this time, we can laugh at those useless people in the Jia family again!"

Just when King Beiye and his men were feeling smug, Shen Zhan suddenly raised his right hand high and said loudly, "I'll bid five spirit crystals for the Soul-Suppressing Iron."

Then, Jia Zhong, who was sitting next to Shen Zhan, also raised his hand and said, "I will pay four spirit crystals for the rhinoceros horn."

King Beiye felt a little surprised. Why didn't Jia Zhong choose the Soul-Suppressing Iron as he expected, but instead went to bid for the Lingxi Horn?

Also, who is that strange face who has been sitting and whispering with Jia Zhong from the beginning?

It seems that some conspiracy is brewing between the two.

The subordinate quickly asked: "Master, should we take action?"

The auction was still going on. After Shen Zhan and Jia Zhong started bidding, the prices of Soul-Suppressing Iron and Lingxi Horn were raised to six and five spirit crystals respectively.

"Seven pieces of spirit crystals, soul-suppressing iron."

"I offer six spirit crystals and a spirit rhinoceros horn."

Shen Zhan and Jia Zhong responded in unison and made another bid. The high price of seven spirit crystals had almost scared away all the competitors except King Beiye.

After pondering for a moment, King Kitano finally could not sit still anymore, because the situation had reached the point where he had to take action.
