The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 1272 Who are they trying to trick?!
This statement would normally be correct, but now, it is Yunran who has obtained this small cauldron.

Long Ling glanced at Chi Yao sideways: "Tch, what an ignorant bumpkin!"

Not to mention that this cauldron itself is extraordinary, even an ordinary small cauldron could be easily made to gain sentience if Yun Ran wanted to.

After stepping on Chi Yao's foot, Long Ling immediately felt refreshed, and even the noisy people downstairs seemed much more pleasing to the eye.

Just then, the people from Shenjian Manor brought up a new tray covered with a dark red cloth.

"Huh, this cloth can actually block my divine sense!"

Long Ling's interest was immediately piqued; his dragon soul could see things clearly even from thousands of miles away.

Now, however, it's impossible to see what's under that dark red cloth.

Long Ling immediately leaned to the side, moving closer to Yun Ran, and said in a slightly cheeky tone, "Can you see what's on that tray clearly?"

The spirit of the small building, which had been relatively quiet, was not quite clear about the way Yunran and Longling interacted.

Therefore, upon first hearing this tone, he thought that Long Ling was provoking Yun Ran, which frightened him so much that he immediately moved his body towards the wall again.

At the same time, he was also curious about what good things had been served downstairs that even this dangerous man couldn't figure out.

The spirit of the small building, through the crack in the window, accurately saw the tray placed on the main table downstairs.

The cloth on the tray was similar to the cloth that had covered the other items that had been brought up for auction.

But even without lifting the cloth covering those things, he could clearly see what was under the cloth.

Before the spirit of the small building could even be surprised, Yun Ran's somewhat indifferent voice reached its ears.

"I didn't see it either, but it's not a big deal. Since it's been put on the auction stage, we'll find out sooner or later."

Dragon Spirit: ...

He now understood why Xuan Chu would sometimes roll his eyes when he was showing off.

Even though he and Yun Ran were sworn brothers, seeing Yun Ran's pretentious and aloof demeanor at this moment gave him goosebumps.

Aside from the few people downstairs who were really devastated, the rest of the people had their attention drawn to the newly served food.

"The items brought up earlier were all small cauldrons with purifying power; the items that are brought up next are probably even more extraordinary."

"Sigh, that Divine Sword Manor is really dishonest. They didn't give a single hint beforehand. If they had just said they had something good, I would have brought all my treasures!"

"You're just bragging. Even if you brought all your savings, you still couldn't possibly capture what's behind this."

"We'll probably just be there to watch what comes next."

……

Many people's tone was filled with deep regret.

But no one knows if they are truly regretful, after all, no one knows exactly how wealthy they are.

However, if you listen carefully, you can still hear a hint of secret excitement mixed in with their tone of regret.

Clearly, in their view, even if they didn't get the items that were later auctioned, they would at least broaden their horizons.

Meanwhile, in another corner of the auction hall, there was finally some activity in several special private boxes.

Although they didn't receive special invitations to the VIP rooms, that didn't mean their status wasn't illustrious. Even Yun Ran had already made a move once, yet the people in these private rooms hadn't reacted at all before.

If it weren't for the servants with knives standing at the door of the private room, no one would believe that there was no one inside.

From inside the VIP box, an aged voice suddenly rang out: "What we've been waiting for has finally appeared!"

As the old man's voice rang out, the other people in the VIP room immediately tensed up.

Originally, they were determined to get this thing, and were even confident that they could crush everyone else.

But they never expected that a Cheng Yaojin would suddenly appear out of nowhere, and there was more than one.

"Elder, what are our chances of winning..."

The middle-aged man sitting next to the old man was a little worried. Although they were prepared, what if someone else intercepted them?
The old man didn't give the middle-aged man a single extra glance, his eyes fixed on the tray on the main table.

His tone suddenly turned cold and ruthless: "This fragment of the Heavenly Book can only belong to us. Even if the Heavenly King himself came, he wouldn't be able to take it away."

This clearly means that they will seize the item at all costs; if they can win the bid, they will; if not, they will rob the person who wins.

The middle-aged man's expression changed, and he felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

The chips they brought this time exceeded 80% of the warehouse's reserves, and the people they brought were almost all of the family's elites.

He didn't even dare to imagine how devastating the losses would be if things really went to the worst.

Is it really worth risking the entire strength of the family for a baseless rumor?

The old man seemed to be able to sense the middle-aged man's feelings, or perhaps he was trying to strengthen his own resolve.

He immediately said, "As long as we can obtain the fragments of the Heavenly Book and find the secret method to attain enlightenment, all sacrifices will be worthwhile!"

The middle-aged man knew he couldn't persuade them otherwise, so he could only reluctantly make the arrangements.

Similar conversations occurred in other private rooms.

Clearly, these people, who hadn't bid on anything from the beginning, whose identities were kept secret, and who entered the auction house through a special passage, were all after the fragments of the Heavenly Book.

The man on the auction stage looked around and saw that almost everyone had recovered from the intense bidding in the previous auction.

Then he smiled and began to introduce the tray placed on the central table.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the items brought up for auction this time are somewhat special. They were obtained by Shenjian Manor by chance and have been appraised by seven senior elders."

One elder firmly believed it was genuine, four others were certain it was a fake, and the remaining two declined to comment…

Before he could finish speaking, the crowd below the stage immediately erupted in uproar, even though they were not interested in the item at all.

"No way, your Divine Sword Manor actually served up something that's clearly problematic? Who are you trying to scam!"

"That's right, that's right. For a little benefit, you've really thrown away all face for your Divine Sword Manor."

"Anyone who bids on this is a sucker. Even if four appraisal elders said it was fake, or even if just one appraisal elder disagreed, it shouldn't have been brought up!"

……

Despite the various doubts, the man on stage did not change his expression.
