Dual Cultivator with a cultivation system - Chapter 516

Chapter 516: Ch-516: Winning the Auction
Royal Box

“What?!” Wu Junhao exclaimed as his eyebrows shot up and he jumped to his feet in astonishment. The Queen and Wu Jing also had looks of shock on their faces as they rose to their feet when they felt a new aura emerging from the Tang Family Box and crashing onto Lu Bai’s. To their shock, it completely suppressed his.

“Pure Core Realm… another one,” Zhang Shiyu muttered with her mouth open, disbelief written all over her face.

“Heavens! What is going on in this kingdom? How is there another Pure Core Realm cultivator that I don’t know about?” Wu Junhao said, worry evident on his face.

“No, I must also quickly break through to the Pure Core Realm, even if I have to take some risks,” Wu Junhao thought firmly. If his strength remained stagnant and other powerful cultivators kept appearing, then not only his status and life, but even his daughter’s and wife’s safety would be in danger.

“Pure Core Realm…” Lu Bai frowned when he sensed the cultivation, and a trace of fear appeared on his face.

“Senior, why are you trying to use force to suppress others? If you want the item, let money speak,” Wang Ming’s booming voice echoed across the hall, causing Lu Bai’s expression to darken.

The guests, on the other hand, were dumbfounded by the ongoing situation.

“Heavens, who is that person in the Tang Family Box?”

“Yeah, even I am curious. Who has the guts to offend the Human Puppet Sect? Isn’t he afraid of death?”

“Hah, afraid of death? Are you blind? Can’t you sense that guy is also at the Pure Core Realm? Judging by how his aura suppressed Lu Bai’s, I am 100% sure he is stronger.”

“Damn, I thought Lu Bai breaking into the Pure Core Realm was already heaven-defying. I did not expect someone else to be at the Pure Core Realm.”

“I am curious about his identity. Judging by his voice, he seems very young. This guy must be from a hidden family more powerful than the Wu Family. My guess is he is a young master from outside the continent who came here for worldly experience.”

“Tsk.” Lu Bai snorted but did not say anything else as he sat with a gloomy face.

Seeing this, those who were interested, along with Jiang Ruoxi, sighed in relief.

“Two hundred million… anyone else?” Jiang Ruoxi said as her eyes swept across the crowd.

“Two hundred and fifty million,” Lu Bai said, and the others followed.

“The Jing Family bids 255 million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones!”

“The Zhang Family bids 260 million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones!”

“This old man Bu bids 280 million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones!”

The price increased at a much faster rate than the other treasures.

In mere minutes, the price for the flame and cauldron increased to 400 million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones and was still seemed to have not reached it’s peak price.

“Young man, are you trying to buy out the entire auction today? You already bought the previous flying treasure, and your companions also bought the saber and the technique. I am an alchemist—this fire will be better used in my hands. If you let me have it, I can also make some pills for you, whichever pill you want,” Lu Bai said.

“What a coincidence, I am also an alchemist and don’t need your help in making pills for me, I will be do it better if I obtain this flame,” Wang Ming said with a chuckle, then raised his voice. “Five hundred million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.”

Wang Ming stood up from his seat and jumped down, landing on the stage. Instantly, every eye fell on him.

“He looks very young,” Wu Junhao muttered under his breath as he eyed the youngster.

“What, Wang Ming?” Wu Jing suddenly exclaimed when she saw the figure. Her sudden outburst caught the attention of the King and Queen.

“Dear, do you know this guy?” Zhang Shiyu asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Ah, yes. He is a disciple from the Yang-Yin Sect,” Wu Jing said.

“Wait, what? He is just a disciple of the sect—how is he so strong?” Wu Junhao’s calm expression finally cracked, and his mouth hung open.

“How do you know him?” Zhang Shiyu asked with narrowed eyes as she eyed her daughter.

“Actually…” Wu Jing then narrated how she met him, and by the time she finished, everyone was looking at her in disbelief.

“He actually saved you two times… then he is a benefactor of our Wu Family. Looks like the competition between the sects will be won by the Yang-Yin Sect unless the other sects also have Pure Core Realm disciples… Invite him after the auction,” Zhang Shiyu said.

“Yes,” Wu Jing said timidly as she watched Wang Ming with bright eyes.

‘Could he be some kind of young master from a family outside the continent…?’ Wu Junhao thought, then turned to look at his daughter, who was gazing at Wang Ming with smitten eyes, and sighed.

‘This might actually be a good thing. It looks like Wu Jing has a good relationship with him… maybe I should talk about marriage between them. Wu Jing is already at that age,’ he thought. As for him being a dual cultivator, it was no issue, as powerful men in the cultivation world often had multiple partners.

“Five hundred million, going once, twice, thrice—sold!” Jiang Ruoxi shouted as many of the alchemists felt jealousy and anger toward Wang Ming.

“Guest, I invite you to come on stage and take it, as carrying it to you would be problematic,” Jiang Ruoxi said.

“Congratulations, you actually won,” Feng Mei said, her face flushed with excitement as she kept shaking his hand.

“Wang Ming, congratulations. You have now made the Human Puppet Sect your official enemy,” Tang Nian said teasingly.

“Well, I’ll be back.” Wang Ming looked at the girls, then jumped from the second floor toward the stage.

As soon as he landed on the stage, every eye focused on him, and many frowned, not recognizing his face.
