Because the Mighty Huang Pill could directly raise one's Dou Qi level. No matter where it appeared, it was always a highly sought-after item. Therefore, its price rapidly shot upward.
In just a short while, that Mighty Huang Pill had already soared to a high price of more than seven million gold coins. And even then, the price was still climbing.
However, some people in the hall who had real strength had not made any bids yet. They were just quietly waiting for those last few finale items to appear.
"This Xuandu Chamber of Commerce really deserves to be called the number one chamber of commerce in the Western Wasteland Desert. Even their auctioneer's methods are extraordinary."
As Lin Feng gazed at the fiery scene, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
That auctioneer hadn't focused on introducing the pill's properties itself. Instead, he told the bidders that if they didn't buy it, someone else would, and that person would break through, while they themselves would still be stuck in place.
This tactic was indeed clever. And after using the Mighty Huang Pill as warm-up, the atmosphere inside the auction hall was gradually stirred to its peak.
Taking advantage of this heated mood, the plainly dressed auctioneer began to present other auction items one after another.
These items, relying on both their excellent quality and the auctioneer's persuasive hype, all sold for very good prices.
One had to admit, this auction held by Xuandu Chamber of Commerce—the reason it attracted so many people was certainly no accident.
Just judging from the quality of the items presented, this was definitely the rarest auction Lin Feng had seen in recent years.
Although these items were still not enough to prompt bids from the upper circle of VIP rooms above, for the more ordinary factions seated below, they were treasures one rarely had the chance to encounter.
As the auction continued, various Earth Class cultivation techniques and Dou Techniques, as well as seventh-tier pills, were successively brought onto the stage.
However, just as the auction below had reached its midpoint, A dull knocking sound suddenly came from the door, startling Lin Feng's group, who had been concentrating on the hall below.
"Come in."
Hearing the knock from outside, Lin Feng frowned slightly, then spoke.
"Squeak~"
Along with the faint sound of the door opening behind them, a maid quickly walked in.
"Honored guests, the two VIPs from Room Eleven wish to meet you. May I ask if you will allow them to enter?"
The maid walked to the side of the sofa, then bent slightly and spoke softly.
"Oh? Where are they from?"
Hearing this, Lin Feng raised his brows and asked. He didn't know many people in this Western Wasteland Desert. So when someone suddenly came looking for him, he couldn't help but be curious.
"Those two guests are from Qing Mu Mansion."
Seeing Lin Feng's question, the maid quickly answered.
"Qing Mu Mansion?"
At those words, not only Lin Feng, but even Xiao Yixian, Feng Qing'er, and Tian Huo Zun Zhe, all showed great surprise.
After all, not long ago, they had killed one of Qing Mu Mansion's Eight-Star Dou Zong Elders. And it was done right in front of everyone, humiliating them openly.
Logically speaking, shouldn't the other side hate them to death?
Why then, would they take the initiative to come here?
"Should we meet them?"
Tian Huo Zun Zhe pondered for a moment, then looked at Lin Feng.
"Let them in."
After thinking for a bit, Lin Feng looked at the maid and spoke.
Although he didn't know what the people from Qing Mu Mansion were here for, as long as they weren't complete fools, they wouldn't dare start a fight here.
If the other side dared to make a move, then this would no longer be a conflict between him and Qing Mu Mansion.
Instead, it would become a matter between Xuandu Chamber of Commerce and Qing Mu Mansion.
"Yes."
The maid bowed, then slowly walked out. Before long, a young man and a middle-aged man strode inside.
Lin Feng probed their strength. The young man, who looked to be in his twenties, had the power of a high-level Dou Huang. As for the middle-aged man, he was around the peak of Dou Zong.
"I am Ye Wensen, grandson of the Mansion Lord of Qing Mu Mansion, greetings to you all."
As soon as the young man entered, he cupped his fists and spoke to Lin Feng's group.
"I am Ye Boqing, Third Elder of Qing Mu Mansion, greetings to you all."
The middle-aged man also cupped his fists and greeted them.
Seeing that the two did not appear hostile, Lin Feng didn't show much expression for the moment. Instead, he gestured to the nearby sofa and said calmly, "Please, take a seat."
"Many thanks."
The young man replied, then led the middle-aged man to sit on an empty sofa.
"Regarding the matter of Ye Huaicheng and his grandson earlier, I represent Qing Mu Mansion to apologize to you all. This is a small token of goodwill, please accept it."
After sitting down, the young man suddenly spoke words that left Lin Feng and the others puzzled. He lightly brushed his storage ring, took out a jade box, and handed it toward Lin Feng.
"???"
Seeing this, Lin Feng's group of four were left dumbfounded.
Just a few days ago, the Grand Elder of Qing Mu Mansion was acting as if he wanted to kill them. Now suddenly, a complete one-eighty turn, and they were here to apologize?
"Please, do not misunderstand. Ye Huaicheng belongs to the Grand Elder's faction, while we belong to the Mansion Lord's faction. The two sides are basically irreconcilable. He wishes to kill you all, but that doesn't mean our Mansion Lord's faction is your enemy."
The young man had no qualms about airing internal strife in front of outsiders, directly explaining the situation.
"So that's how it is."
After hearing this, Lin Feng and the others finally nodded in understanding.
Although they still didn't know the details, from his words it was clear enough. Within Qing Mu Mansion, the Grand Elder's faction and the Mansion Lord's faction were at odds.
The one who had offended them earlier belonged to the Grand Elder's side. As for the Mansion Lord's faction, they did not wish to become enemies with them.
After a brief hesitation, Lin Feng accepted the item. Using his soul power, he quickly scanned the jade box.
After confirming there was no danger, he stored it into his ring. Then he spoke calmly, "Since the cause has been explained, although we have a conflict with Ye Huaicheng, we naturally won't drag your Mansion Lord's faction into it without reason."
After a pause, Lin Feng continued, "However, your sudden visit today shouldn't be just for this, right?"
Hearing this, the young man hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Since you offended Ye Huaicheng before, once you leave this Sha Huang City, he will definitely try to kill you. Therefore, I wish to invite you to join hands with our Mansion Lord's faction… to deal with Ye Huaicheng!"
At those words, Lin Feng and the others were all startled.
From what the young man had said before, they had already realized that Qing Mu Mansion wasn't a solid front.
But they hadn't expected the relationship between the Grand Elder and the Mansion Lord to have deteriorated to such a degree.
