Chapter 160: The First Lot is the Strange Flower
“Indeed, as long as it’s a larger sect, there’s a chance to enter the Imperial Tomb.”
Qin Bei sighed as he gazed at the numerous sects below.
However, what Qin Bei didn’t know was just how large a price these big sects had to pay to send their disciples into the Imperial Tomb.
Moreover, each sect could only send in one person; they couldn’t bring along another.
Only the royal family could afford such extravagance, allowing Qin Bei to bring in two female relatives.
This was simply something that sect powers wouldn’t even dare to dream of.
“Damn! Those guys from the Beast Control Sect just won’t let it go.”
While observing below, Qin Bei suddenly spotted a familiar outfit—it was someone from the Beast Control Sect.
One of them he was particularly acquainted with.
It was the Beast Frenzy who had caused chaos in the Foundation Establishment Secret Realm, and managed to escape in the end.
Although this guy didn’t take action personally last time, Qin Bei had already marked him as a must-kill target.
Had it not been for that guy’s swift escape in the secret realm, Qin Bei would definitely have taught him a lesson in humanity.
“If you manage to run away again during this Imperial Tomb trial, then I won’t need to show my face in this capital anymore.”
Qin Bei looked at the Beast Frenzy in the Earth Grade Auction Room and couldn’t help but smile.
As if sensing something, the Beast Frenzy looked up and caught sight of Qin Bei’s smile.
This made the Beast Frenzy furrow his brow, a bad premonition gnawing at him.
But soon, he regained his calm. No one could stop him in this Imperial Tomb trial.
Ding~
Ding~
Ding~
Three chimes rang out, instantly silencing the lively venue.
Everyone shifted their attention to the auction stage, where Fei Fei elegantly walked up, smiling down at the audience.
“Everyone, this isn’t our first auction. Every time the Imperial Tomb opens, it gets quite lively. I won’t waste your time. The first item is now up for bidding.”
Fei Fei, after her habitual opening remarks, ignored the lewd requests from the crowd and directly commenced the first auction.
Qin Bei sat sideways in his seat, watching the proceedings.
Last time, he had left before it ended, knowing his funds were insufficient.
But this time was completely different. Qin Bei conservatively estimated he could secure at least 50 million spirit stones.
And that was just a conservative estimate; the actual amount would depend on how much the attendees revered Emperor Xia.
“The first item is a unique flower from the Kingdom of Flowers: the Drunken Immortal Bianhua.”
As Fei Fei finished speaking, a vase appeared on the auction table.
Everyone gasped in surprise.
Everyone knew this flower was quite delicate; there was no way it could fit into an ordinary Qiankun bag.
The fact that she could take it out directly from her Qiankun bag indicated that Fei Fei’s bag was something special.
“Tsk tsk, truly worthy of the Langya Pavilion auction house—so many good things.”
“But how did Langya Pavilion get this? If I remember correctly, this rare flower is only owned by the royal family of the Flower Kingdom and the Great Xia, along with a few elite sects, right?”
“Hai~ Is Langya Pavilion not strong enough? What’s the deal with having a few of these flowers?”
“Hehe, I didn’t expect this year’s auction house to be so clever. Instead of starting with explosive items, they kick things off with some fun. They’re really getting good at this business!”
“Who can argue with that? Especially since it’s Miss Fei Fei standing on the stage. This rare flower paired with a beautiful woman is simply a stunning sight.”
