Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven

Chapter 1936 - 1927: Verification

One billion!

Just two simple words, yet they seemed to carry a certain magic, echoing in the minds of everyone present for a long time.

"As the Young Sect Master of Lingdan Sect, you can’t possibly not have even a billion Spirit Stones, can you?"

Seeing Wu Yongjie go silent, Mo Wangchen couldn’t help but mock from within the fourth box.

He really didn’t.

Wu Yongjie remained silent.

Even as the Young Sect Master of Lingdan Sect, producing a billion Spirit Stones all at once was simply impossible.

Moreover, this number was large enough to make many people despair.

Not to mention him, even the entire Lingdan Sect would take two to three days to gather a billion on such short notice.

After all, although Lingdan Sect is a major sect of the Alchemy Dao, compared to a true giant like Absolute Pill Pavilion, it’s still vastly outmatched.

Or rather, there is simply no comparison between them.

"I don’t believe you can bring out a billion Spirit Stones."

After a brief silence, Wu Yongjie sneered and then looked at Wei Yuan on the auction stage, "Senior Wei Yuan, I suspect this person doesn’t have a billion Spirit Stones, and he is merely bidding to disrupt and challenge the rules of your auction house."

Not only did Wu Yongjie not believe it, but most cultivators in the room also had their doubts.

After all, the number one billion was far beyond the imagination of all present.

Moreover, Mo Wangchen had already used forty million Spirit Stones to acquire the Green Feather Flower earlier.

If he could still produce a billion Spirit Stones, it would indeed be astonishing.

Such a large amount of Spirit Stones, they hadn’t even heard of anyone carrying so many on an outing.

This was beyond their comprehension.

"This..."

Wei Yuan frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Clearly, he too found it hard to believe.

After all, such a number was outrageously large, making it difficult to accept.

However, since Mo Wangchen was able to bring out forty million Spirit Stones to purchase the Green Feather Flower earlier, he didn’t seem like someone intentionally causing trouble.

But since it concerned the auction house’s rules, he cleared his throat and solemnly said, "A billion does indeed exceed imagination. As per the auction house’s rules, reaching such a sky-high price requires verification of the bidder’s wealth, to prevent reckless bidding."

In the fourth box, Mo Wangchen casually said, "Since it’s the rule, I have no objection. If verification is needed, go ahead."

Soon, Wei Yuan left the stage and made his way to the second-floor loft via the auction house’s stairs.

When he opened the door to the fourth box and found a young junior sitting inside, he was even more astonished.

He clearly hadn’t expected the one fiercely competing with Wu Yongjie to be so young.

This was enough to show that this person definitely had some significant background.

Or could he possibly be the Saint Heir of some ancient family or Sacred Land?

If so, then Wu Yongjie might indeed have hit a wall today.

After all, while Lingdan Sect may hold some status in the Alchemy Realm, it is insignificant compared to those true ancient families or great Sacred Lands.

To put it bluntly, any Sacred Land or ancient family could easily obliterate Lingdan Sect without effort.

However, what truly was the case would only be revealed after verifying Mo Wangchen’s wealth.

"I beg your pardon, young friend. It’s not that I don’t trust you, but it’s the rule of our auction house." Wei Yuan approached, apologized with clasped hands, and said.

Mo Wangchen merely nodded, not saying much.

He raised his hand, and a Storage Bag appeared in his palm.

Wei Yuan took the Storage Bag, opened it in front of Mo Wangchen.

Seeing it nearly made him jump in shock.

Inside the Storage Bag, Spirit Stones were piled like a mountain, blinding his eyes.

After a quick estimate, Wei Yuan was stunned to find that the number of Spirit Stones in this Storage Bag was far beyond a billion!

This was definitely a young man with considerable background!

It seemed that Wu Yongjie indeed hit a wall today.

Finally, he handed back the Storage Bag to Mo Wangchen and respectfully excused himself.

"Do you think this person really has that many Spirit Stones?"

"We’re talking about a billion here, I don’t believe anyone in this world can possess that."

"If they’re just here to cause trouble by making reckless bids, they’ll suffer the consequences later."

"This person did spend forty million Spirit Stones on the Green Feather Flower, making him a major client of the auction house. Even if he bid a billion out of spite, Wei Yuan might spare him from embarrassment for personal reasons."

The auction hall was abuzz. In the time Wei Yuan went to verify Mo Wangchen’s wealth, everyone was in discussion.

Evidently, from their words, most people doubted Mo Wangchen’s ability to produce a billion Spirit Stones.

After all, such a number was indeed beyond most people’s imagination and understanding.

Shortly after, Wei Yuan returned to the auction stage.

In the fifth box, Wu Yongjie came to the window with a cold smile, "Well then, Senior Wei Yuan, is this person openly causing trouble? If so, I suggest you directly..."

However, before he could finish, Wei Yuan cleared his throat and said, "I personally confirmed it. The guest in the fourth box does indeed have the wealth. Now, the auction continues."

"The guest in the fourth box has bid one billion. Is there a higher offer?"

Although his voice wasn’t loud, it clearly spread throughout the venue.

The previously noisy venue fell silent in an instant at Wei Yuan’s words, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

"What?"

"Does he really?"

"It can’t be. Including the forty million Spirit Stones spent on the Green Feather Flower earlier, he can still bring out a billion?"

"..."

After a brief silence, the place erupted again, with everyone unable to resist widening their eyes, discussing excitedly, their faces full of disbelief.

In the fifth box, at the window, Wu Yongjie’s smile froze, replaced by a dumbfounded expression.

"This is impossible!" He said with a stern face, unable to believe it.

Yet, Wei Yuan ignored the reactions of the crowd and proceeded by the rules, continuing to call out, "One billion, first time."

"One billion, second time."

"One billion... third time!"

"Sold!"

With the finality of a hammer, Tianxuan Grass was acquired by Mo Wangchen at the astounding price of one billion Spirit Stones.
