System Auction Shop, I'll sell out across all realms!

The hall fell silent for a moment.

This is a very sensitive issue; it's inappropriate for either of us to speak first.

It's an offense no matter who you're telling them to use it for.

If you agree to something, you won't get any benefits; if you disagree, you'll offend a lot of people.

After a moment of silence, Qin Ziwei was the first to speak.

She wasn't afraid of offending anyone; as the daughter of the King of Qin, she didn't need to worry about anyone's opinion.

"Father, this elixir belongs to our royal family, not to any one person."

"I think it should be given to the person who is most confident in making a breakthrough through this."

"Especially those elderly people who are already very old and don't have much time left to live."

"They dedicated their lives to the royal family; they deserve this elixir!"

A white-haired relative standing nearby nodded, stroking his beard, and said:

"Ziwei is right."

Another middle-aged general echoed:

"I second that opinion. This elixir should be given to the person with the best chance of success."

Ye Zhenshan remained silent, standing behind Qin Ziwei like a shadow.

Qin Batian's gaze fell on him, and he suddenly asked:

"What do you think, Master Ye?"

Ye Zhenshan raised his head, met Qin Batian's gaze, and then slowly shook his head:

"Your Majesty, I dare not speak presumptuously."

"Whom this elixir is given to is a matter for His Majesty and the imperial family; I should not interfere."

Qin Batian waved his hand: "Speak freely. You are also a royal retainer, your opinion is very important."

Ye Zhenshan remained silent for a moment before speaking.

His voice wasn't loud, but he spoke each word slowly and earnestly:

"If I had to choose, I would choose the Fifth Prince."

"The Five Offerings have been stuck at the peak of the Transcendent Realm for the longest time, and their lifespans are also the shortest. If they don't break through soon, they probably won't have many more years left."

"Moreover, the Fifth Prince has served the royal family for decades with utmost loyalty, so it is only reasonable to give him the elixir."

"From both a moral and logical standpoint, he is the most suitable candidate."

The hall fell silent again.

The fifth elder, named Han Qianqiu, is not as strong as those elders in the Divine Sea Realm, but he is the most senior among them.

He was a retainer when Qin Batian's father was in power.

A veteran of three dynasties, he shed blood for the Great Yan Dynasty, and his cultivation level was at the peak of the Transcendent Realm.

But his lifespan is almost over...

If he doesn't break through to the Divine Sea Realm soon, he'll pass away in five or six years at most.

At that time, the Great Yan Dynasty will lose a top-tier combatant.

Qin Batian nodded, his voice steady and powerful:

"Then it's settled. The pills will be given to the Five Offerings."

The relatives in the hall exchanged glances, and no one objected.

Wu Shangfeng was indeed the most suitable candidate, and he was worthy of the position in terms of both seniority and loyalty.

Qin Ziwei's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this decision.

But she still felt a slight sense of emotion...

The fifth offering is to Han Qianqiu, an old woman who watched her grow up.

She remembered that when she was a child, Han Qianqiu often told her stories from ancient times.

She listened intently, and Han Qianqiu spoke with great enthusiasm. The old woman and the young girl spent the entire day in the garden.

More than anyone else, she hoped that Han Qianqiu could break through and live a few more years.

I can tell her those stories she's heard a hundred times and never gets tired of them.

Qin Batian continued, "At the next auction, the Fifth Elder will go with you."

He looked at Qin Ziwei, then glanced at Ye Zhenshan.

"Master Ye will also come along, bringing more spirit stones."

"If that multi-tiered auction house can have fourth-grade top-quality pills, it can also have fifth-grade items!"

"We absolutely cannot miss this opportunity."

His gaze passed through the window and landed on the distant horizon.

Qin Ziwei nodded, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes.

She wanted to go back to the auction house; she had a premonition.

That young man will unleash something in the next round that will shock the entire Great Yan Dynasty!

Ye Zhenshan stood behind her, his face still cold and stern, but his eyes held a hint of seriousness.

I wonder what Mr. Lin will bring out at the next auction.

A fourth-tier top-grade item is already scary enough, what if it's a fifth-tier one?

Probably not...

……

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the past ten days, the entire situation of the Great Yan Dynasty has undergone subtle changes because of an auction house in a small border town.

The news spread from Xuantian City to Yanfeng County City, then to Qingzhou City, and finally to the Royal City.

It's like throwing a stone into a calm lake.

The ripples spread out layer by layer, eventually covering the entire lake surface.

Not only the King of Qin, but other families within the capital city also received the news.

The Lin family, the Ye family, the Zhao family, and the Cui family

The four major families of the royal city each have planted spies in Xuantian City.

The day the news of the sale of a fourth-grade top-quality pill at the third auction of the Heavenly Auction House reached the royal city...

The heads of the four major families were all dumbfounded at first.

What the heck?

A fourth-grade top-quality pill can help someone at the peak of the Transcendent Realm break through to the Divine Sea Realm.

Then this thing was auctioned off in a small town...

Is this even human language?

After the initial bewilderment came deep anger.

What were those informants they sent out for?

Such big news, and it didn't get back until the auction was over?

The four major families reacted in a surprisingly unanimous manner.

That night, four imperial carriages left the capital almost simultaneously, heading in the same direction.

Meanwhile, the larger cities, whose strength was slightly inferior to that of the royal city, were also getting restless.

The Zhao family of Qingzhou City, the Zhou family of Yunyu City, the Liu family of Liuyun City...

People from almost every city that could be named were heading towards Xuantian City.

Their ultimate goal is the same—the Heavenly Auction House.

Everyone brought all the savings from their families and sects, hoping to acquire a fourth-tier item at the All-Heavens Auction House...

It can be said that the hottest topic in the entire Great Yan Dynasty right now is the All-Heavens Auction House.

People are talking about it before and after meals.

In restaurants, teahouses, and markets

Everywhere you look, you can hear people talking about the Heavenly Auction House.

That Breakthrough Pill that sold for 600,000 spirit stones

That mysterious veiled woman spent lavishly.

Everyone was completely stunned!

Anyone who witnessed that auction could easily become a storyteller.

As soon as he sits down in the teahouse and strikes the gavel, a crowd immediately gathers around him.

He spoke with great enthusiasm, and they listened with rapt attention, applauding enthusiastically at the most exciting parts.

As a result, in these days, the monks who participated in the third auction walk more upright than others on the street.

They would tell everyone they met that they were there that day, and then they would start talking non-stop.

The listeners didn't find it annoying at all; they wanted to know every single detail.

The entire population of the Great Yan Dynasty was heading towards Xuantian City.

Long queues formed at the city gates, and the inns were already full.

Even the family-run guesthouses hidden deep in the alleys have put up signs saying they're fully booked.
