The Great Ruler: The Ice Emperor Descends, Freezing the World!

The next morning, when Bing Tianxiao awoke from his meditation, the chilling aura surrounding him had completely dissipated, and a faint glow, like deep-sea ice crystals, shimmered beneath his skin.

The Nine-Turn Cold Soul Pill not only stabilized his realm, but also raised the purity of his spiritual power to a higher level.

Pushing open the door, Luo Li was already waiting under the pavilion in the courtyard.

Today she wore a light purple dress, which made her less aloof than usual, but gave her a mysterious and captivating beauty, like a delicate orchid.

"Let's go."

Bing Tianxiao leaned closer and naturally took Luo Li's hand. "Let's go see what good stuff Senior Xia has at this auction!"

Luo Li shook her head helplessly and let him pull her outside.

……

The Jiuxia Auction House is located in the most magnificent building in the city center.

The place was already bustling with activity; everyone who could enter was a prominent figure in the Northern Cang Continent.

"My two junior classmates, I've kept you waiting."

As soon as you enter the VIP passage, Xia Youran's magnetic laughter rang out.

Today, she wore a fiery red, form-fitting outfit that perfectly accentuated her graceful curves. Her movements exuded both heroism and charm, drawing the attention of many powerful figures around her.

Xia Youran led the two to a VIP room with an excellent view.

This location not only offers a panoramic view of the entire auction stage but also provides perfect protection from outside prying eyes.

"This private room is my sister's private territory. Even the elders of the Chamber of Commerce are not allowed to come in normally."

Xia Youran personally poured spiritual tea for the two of them, her phoenix eyes darting around as she teased Bing Tianxiao, "Junior, it seems you took down Kuya yesterday. Now a lot of people are asking about your background."

Bing Tianxiao sprawled unceremoniously on the soft animal-hide sofa, took a bite of the spiritual fruit, and mumbled, "Keep it down, keep it down. It was my girlfriend who did the work."

"girlfriend?"

Xia Youran was slightly taken aback, then looked at Luo Li who was quietly drinking tea to the side, covered her mouth and giggled, "Junior Sister Luo Li is so beautiful and talented, it's a wonder you were able to win her over."

Luo Li paused slightly in her hand holding the teacup, a faint blush appearing on her cool cheeks. She said softly, "He's talking nonsense."

"Whether it's nonsense or not, you can tell by looking into their eyes."

Xia Youran was an extremely shrewd person.

She noticed that although Bing Tianxiao was all talk and no action, his gaze was always subtly protecting Luo Li. She couldn't help but think more highly of this junior.

With a clear chime, the auction officially began.

Rare spiritual artifacts, elixirs, and array diagrams were auctioned off one after another, with prices often reaching millions of spirit coins.

Bing Tianxiao remained uninterested.

Until a crystal-clear sword tassel, radiating a faint starlight, appeared on the auction stage.

"This item is called the 'Star Soul Sword Tassel,' and it was made by collecting the essence of a meteorite from the heavens and nurturing it for a hundred years."

On the auction stage, the auctioneer from the Jiuxia Chamber of Commerce introduced the product, his voice echoing throughout the hall: "It can not only amplify sword energy, but more importantly, it has an excellent unsealing effect on some high-level divine artifacts that are in a sealed state."

Luo Li's glass-like eyes showed interest.

"want to?"

Bing Tianxiao smiled and leaned closer, his large hand naturally wrapping around her shoulder.

Luo Li pursed her red lips and said softly, "This Star Soul Sword Tassel can unlock one layer of the seal on the Luo Shen Sword..."

"Then I'll take it!"

Bing Tianxiao casually pulled out a crystal card that shimmered with dark gold luster from his pocket and twirled it nimbly between his fingers.

His grandfather gave him several hundred million spirit coins before he passed away.

I was just worried that I wouldn't be able to use it all.

"One million spirit coins!"

People in the audience have already started bidding.

"One and a half million!"

"Three million!"

"Five million!"

The price soared and soon broke the ten million mark.

Bing Tianxiao yawned, just about to make an offer to end this boring competition.

A cold, possessive voice suddenly came from the luxurious private room opposite.

"Twenty million spirit coins."

Upon hearing this voice, Xia Youran's bright and pretty face instantly turned cold, and a hint of disgust flashed in her phoenix eyes.

"Liu Ying, the young master of the Shadow Merchant Guild."

Xia Youran whispered to the two of them, her tone carrying a hint of warning, "This guy has always claimed to be my suitor, he's ruthless and vicious, and the Shadow Merchant Guild is very wealthy, so you need to be careful."

The curtain of the opposite private room was lifted, and a pale-faced young man with sinister eyes sat inside.

He first greedily scanned Xia Youran and Luo Li, then his gaze fell on Bing Tianxiao.

"You Ran, do you want something like this? If so, I can give it to you."

Liu Ying chuckled lightly, her tone filled with a sense of superiority.

Bing Tianxiao raised an eyebrow, not angry at all, but smiling even more brightly.

"Interesting. Are you trying to outdo me in wealth?"

As he spoke, he pressed the bidding button.

A number that was enough to take everyone's breath away suddenly appeared on the huge light screen.

"Fifty million spirit coins."

The entire room fell silent.

Liu Ying's face instantly turned extremely ugly.

"Kid, do you know who you're bidding against? Fifty million spirit coins? Do you even have that much money?"

"Young Master Liu, is that right?"

Bing Tianxiao picked at his ear and said with a look of disgust, "If you don't have money, don't try to pick up girls like that. You're even giving it to Senior Xia as a trinket?"

"you!"

Liu Ying was so angry that she trembled all over.

"Sixty million!"

Liu Ying shouted coldly, "This is all the money I have."

Bing Tianxiao didn't even lift his eyelids, his tone as calm as if he were buying a head of cabbage: "One hundred million."

boom!

The entire auction house was in complete chaos.

One hundred million spirit coins for a sword tassel?

This isn't just being arrogant, it's downright insane!

Liu Ying's face turned from white to green, and then from green to purple.

He never expected that this kid could casually throw out 100 million.

"It seems that Young Master Liu's financial resources... are just so-so."

Bing Tianxiao chuckled and turned to look at Xia Youran, "Senior, this kind of suitor is nothing special."

Xia Youran's beautiful eyes sparkled with excitement.

She gave Bing Tianxiao a deep look, then parted her red lips slightly and said, "Congratulations, Junior Bing."

Meanwhile, the auction hammer fell three times in succession.

A moment later, the maid respectfully brought the Star Soul Sword Tassel into the private room.

Bing Tianxiao took the shimmering sword tassel, glanced at it, and handed it directly to Luo Li.

"Here, it's a bit pricey, but it's perfect for your sword."

Luo Li looked at Bing Tianxiao's grinning face.

She reached out and gently straightened his slightly disheveled collar.

"Thanks."

This scene, witnessed by Liu Ying in the opposite compartment, was more painful than death to her.

He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms, and his chilling voice echoed in the private room:

"Investigate! Find out everything about this kid! I'll make sure he never leaves Jiuling City!"

Inside the private room, Xia Youran looked at the couple who were "showing affection" as if no one else was around and helplessly rubbed her forehead: "I mean... can you two consider how I, a single senior, feel?"

And junior, you've got Liu Ying's eye on you now.

Bing Tianxiao slumped back onto the sofa and said casually:

"I'm not afraid of him."

A reading feast: a vast collection of books and an unparalleled reading experience.
