Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

Unfortunately, there haven't been any more opportunities like this since.

But that's normal; you're already considered very lucky to find a bargain at an auction, even once.

After all, items that are brought to such a large auction are already quite valuable, and have been appraised by multiple professional appraisers.

If it weren't for Xu Ying bringing good luck, we probably wouldn't have encountered the spiritual plant seeds this time or the wine recipe from the Wine Saint last time.

The auction continued, with various forces acquiring valuable treasures one after another. However, there were still many powerful individuals in the private rooms who had not participated in a single bid from beginning to end.

Clearly, they were all after the sacred gold; ordinary treasures were simply beneath their notice.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what follows is the grand finale of our auction."

The auctioneer raised his hand, and a stone box the size of a fist appeared in his hand.

"This is a piece of azure holy gold!!"

When the box was opened, everyone could see the egg-sized blue mineral inside.

Exclamations erupted throughout the hall, and even the True Saint experts in the private rooms could not hide their excitement.

If this weren't Duanshan City, and this Jubao Tower weren't part of the City Lord's estate, people would probably have been tempted to rob it outright.

"Wow! It's such a big piece!!"

"This is more than enough to forge a sacred weapon as the main material!!"

"This Saint Jin is mys to obtain!!"

The auctioneer paused deliberately for a moment before speaking.

"This piece of Azure Sacred Gold can only be auctioned with top-grade spirit stones. The starting price is one hundred top-grade spirit stones, and each bid must be at least ten stones higher."

After the auctioneer finished speaking, a chorus of bids erupted from the private room, and in just a short while, the price had already soared to three hundred.

It should be noted that an ordinary holy artifact can be bought for three hundred top-grade spirit stones, which shows how valuable this piece of holy gold is.

The price of this piece of Azure Sacred Gold has risen to five hundred top-grade spirit stones, and there are only three powerful individuals left to participate in the bidding.

One comes from a major Buddhist sect, one is a powerful demon, and one is from the ancient Xiao family.

Treasures of the Saint Gold level don't have a fixed value; as long as people can afford the price, they'll keep raising it.

"Seven hundred!"

The voice from the Xiao family's private room ultimately sealed the deal, securing the piece of Azure Holy Gold.

Even if you sold the entire Xu family now, you still wouldn't be able to raise that many top-grade spirit stones.

Therefore, these seven hundred top-grade spirit stones are an absolute fortune for the Xu family!

Xu Qingzhou thought to himself.

"These extraordinary forces, which have developed over hundreds of thousands of years, are incredibly wealthy! They really went to great lengths to buy a piece of holy gold."

With Saint Gold purchased, the auction came to an end.

Xu Chen suddenly asked, "Although the Ancient Family obtained the Sacred Gold, so many people want it. Could they unite to stop the Xiao Family?"

“It’s possible,” Yin Xianhong replied.

Even though the Xiao family is an ancient family and one of the strongest forces in Cangzhou, it's not just one force of the same level that wants the Saint Gold, but many others.

When the benefits are great enough, everything else can be put aside for the time being.

If this piece of sacred gold is already in the Xiao family's possession, then of course there's no problem. But as long as it hasn't been returned, there's a certain possibility it could be robbed.

“Sacred Gold has already been sold, so this is none of our business,” Xu Qingzhou said.

A while later, the seeds Xu Qingzhou bought and the top-grade spirit stones that Sheng Jin sold were delivered.

However, it was Yin Xianhong who took it and gave it to Xu Qingzhou after the people from Jubaolou left.

Generally, a cut is taken from items sold through the Jubaolou auction.

However, this auction attracted many powerful individuals thanks to the Azure Nether Saint Gold, and with such fierce competition, many treasures ultimately fetched higher prices than usual.

Therefore, Jubaolou was already making a lot of money, so it did not charge Shengjin a cut.

This is also to encourage strong bidders to send more treasures of this caliber to the auction.

After leaving Jubaolou, Xu Qingzhou and his group did not return to the Xu family, but instead went to the new Zuixianlou restaurant that the Xu family had opened that day.

Meanwhile, news of Yin Xianhong's visit to Zuixianlou quickly spread throughout the city.

This store was actually ready a long time ago, but it hasn't opened yet.

It's because the Xu family is currently weak and isolated. If the Zuixianlou restaurant isn't doing well, it won't be a big deal, but once business picks up, all sorts of troubles will arise.

That's why Xu Qingzhou made a special, high-profile invitation to Yin Xianhong.

It's all about leveraging existing momentum.

Sure enough, not long after, powerful figures from various factions arrived at Zuixianlou, all there to see Yin Xianhong.

Many of the people who came had previously served in the Divine Palace. As the head of the Divine Palace, Yin Xianhong's arrival in Duanshan City was a welcome event, and they had to come and see her.

Others wanted to gain favor with Yin Xianhong so that she could help their family's most promising talents join the Divine Palace in the future.

Of course, not just anyone could see Yin Xianhong. Xu Qingzhou and the others were in a large private room, and they needed her permission before the people outside could come in.

"This junior, Xin Yihang, joined the Divine Palace a hundred years ago. Today, upon learning that Lord Yin has arrived, I have come here to pay my respects."

A middle-aged man with a square face was quite respectful when he saw Yin Xianhong.

He comes from the Xin family, one of the four major families in Duanshan City.

Yin Xianhong simply nodded indifferently, having no impression of him. After all, every time the Divine Palace opened, too many geniuses entered, each with a higher status and stronger talent than the last.

Only a handful of things could be remembered by the three lords.

Xin Yihang didn't find anything wrong with Yin Xianhong's attitude at all, and instead turned to look at Xu Ying beside him.

"This must be his esteemed disciple. He is indeed extraordinary, like a celestial being descended to earth."

After praising Xu Ying, he looked at Xu Qingzhou and tried to force a connection.

"We're all in Duanshan City, so we can visit each other more often. I think your newly opened Zuixianlou is quite nice. We'll hold our banquets here from now on. Clan Chief Xu, please reserve a private room for us."

Xu Qingzhou replied, "No problem."

"Alright, then I won't disturb your meal any longer," Xin Yihang said tactfully, leaving immediately after showing his face without any hesitation.

Many people like Xin Yihang have come one after another.

Yin Xianhong might not remember them, but they certainly remembered the Xu family and Zuixianlou.

From now on, Zuixianlou will have a smooth run in Duanshan City, and no one will dare to mess with it.

Finally, as he left Zuixianlou, Xu Qingzhou specifically said, "I'm sorry to have troubled you with today's matter, Lord Yin."

After being invited to Zuixianlou, Yin Xianhong understood Xu Qingzhou's thoughts, but she said nothing and cooperated so well, for which Xu Qingzhou was naturally very grateful.

Yin Xianhong replied, "It was nothing at all."

She also hoped that her disciple's family would prosper, so that she would have no worries and could focus on her cultivation.
