Chapter 97 Linghu Patriarch
Li Huayuan let Yun Hao go after hearing his explanation. He turned around and asked, "Is there anything good behind this?"

"My dear uncle, this auction is coming to an end, but the final item will definitely not disappoint you. I just don't know whether the other uncles will give it to uncle Li," Yun Hao answered respectfully.

At this moment, the green-shirted old man's expression changed, and he asked in surprise, "Oh? Let them all fight for it!"

Yun Hao heard this and moved his lips to transmit a message to the old man in green: "Grandmaster, a few days ago someone came to our auction house to consign a precious material. The material is so rare and of such a high grade that this disciple has never heard of it before."

The old man in green robes looked forward to hearing this, and said to Li Huayuan, "Huayuan, accompany this old man to take a look."

Yun Hao complimented him politely: "Grand Elder, Uncle Master, please go upstairs on the second floor..."

As he spoke, Yun Hao took the two of them upstairs.

The two followed Yun Hao up to the second floor.

"Master Linghu, Uncle Master, I still have to host the auction, so I will not be able to accompany you two seniors for now." Yun Hao bowed deeply to the two of them again.

The old man in green waved at Yun Hao, and Li Huayuan nodded.

Yun Hao walked down the second floor and headed toward the platform. When he reached the platform, he said, "Everyone, I'm sorry. I ran into something on the way."

The practitioners below also nodded in understanding.

Yun Hao held the black thunder iron in his hand and said, "Next is the auction of this black thunder iron. The reserve price of the black thunder iron is 5,000 spirit stones."

Before Lei Wanhe could start bidding, the old ancestor of the Nie family said, "My Nie family offers 6,000 spirit stones."

Lei Wanhe frowned upon hearing this, and then he didn't care about his apprentice Nie Ying: "I will give you 6,500 spirit stones."

"Seven thousand..." Patriarch Nie was even more straightforward.

Lei Wanhe gritted his teeth and said, "Seven thousand five hundred spirit stones."

“Eight thousand spirit stones.” The ancestor of the Nie family did not give in at all.

Nie Ying, who was caught in the middle, looked at her ancestor for a while, then at her master, feeling very embarrassed for a moment.

"I'll pay you 10,000 spirit stones..." Lei Wanhe gasped with his face flushed and neck thick, mainly because he was angry. It was not easy for him to come across such a piece of black thunder iron, and he didn't have so many spirit stones to compete with these families.

"I am out..."

The ancestor of the Nie family was about to speak, but was suddenly interrupted.

"My two junior brothers, there is no need to fight for it. I will give you an idea!" Patriarch Linghu stretched out his hand towards the platform.

The black thunder iron in Yun Hao's hand flew towards the hands of Ancestor Linghu with a "whoosh".

Then, Patriarch Linghu took out a magic flying sword and slashed through the black thunder iron with a "clang".

"Pah" two pieces of black thunder iron fell to the ground in two halves.

"Then there is no need for you two junior brothers to argue. We are all cultivators from the Yellow Maple Valley, and it would be bad to damage the harmony!"

Old Monster Linghu looked at the two of them and spoke.

Patriarch Linghu sucked the black thunder iron that was split into two pieces on the ground, and then threw them towards Lei Wanhe's room and the room where the Nie family was located respectively.

Lei Wanhe was delighted to see this, mainly because he felt that he could not defeat the ancestor of the Nie family alone; and the ancestor of the Nie family raised his eyes and glanced at Uncle Linghu, without saying much.

Seeing this, Yun Hao congratulated: "Congratulations to the two seniors for winning this Black Thunder Iron..."

Upon hearing this, Lei Wanhe slapped his storage bag, took out fifty mid-level spirit stones and put them in a cloth bag. He then threw them towards Yun Hao and looked in the direction of the Nie family.

Yun Hao caught the flying cloth bag and put it away, then turned to look at the Nie family.

In the Nie family's room, the ancestor of the Nie family snorted lightly, and then threw over a storage bag containing five thousand spirit stones.

Yun Hao put away his storage bag and said, "Next, we will continue the auction of the Red Flame Iron. Fellow Daoist No. 41 offered 4,500 Spiritual Stones. Is there anyone who can offer a higher price?"

Upon hearing this, Li Huayuan immediately made an offer: "I offer five thousand spirit stones."

The man who had bid the price earlier saw the hot-tempered Grandmaster Li coming, and not only did he bid casually, but also looked in the direction of the Nie family.

The ancestor of the Nie family just shook his head slightly to hint.

The man seemed to understand something and stopped raising the price.

Yun Hao didn't know what was going on when he saw this: "Five thousand spirit stones for the first time..."

"Five thousand spirit stones for the second time..."

"Five thousand spirit stones for the third time; congratulations to Master Li for winning this piece of Red Flame Iron..." Yun Hao congratulated him. Then he respectfully walked towards Li Huayuan holding the Red Flame Iron.

After the two of them handed over the items, Yun Hao planned to return to the platform.

"Boy, is this the good stuff you were talking about?" Old Monster Linghu was a little dissatisfied.

Yun Hao smiled and said, "Master, please rest assured! This item will be auctioned off soon."

Old Monster Linghu waved his hand at Yunhao, signaling him to go down and preside over the event.

……

Yun Hao returned to the platform, and was also refreshed: "Next is the last item of our auction. This item is very precious, even more than ten times the price of the Black Thunder Iron just now."

The monks in the audience were disbelieving when they heard this and began to speak up.

"You're bragging!"

"I'm not afraid of the wind blowing my tongue!"

"You don't have enough experience!"

"That's right! It's ten times more valuable than Black Thunder Iron. Wouldn't it cost tens of thousands of Spirit Stones?"

"I want to see what treasure he took out. He actually treasures it so much."

……

Several Jindan cultivators on the second floor were also somewhat unconvinced, especially Lei Wanhe. He knew that Xuanlei Iron was a top-grade material, so he thought Yun Hao was bragging.

Yun Hao saw this scene without arguing, but took off the storage bag and gently poured it onto the long table.

There was a loud bang as if a heavy object had fallen to the ground.

The monks below the stage saw an iron box fall out of the storage bag. There were patterns of hundreds of beasts engraved on the iron box. There was an animal head made of black iron on each of the four corners of the iron box, including the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise. There was also a handle on the lid that looked like a Qilin. It fell steadily onto the long table.

Only a creaking sound came from the long table, as if it was carrying a heavy weight.

Sure enough, with a "crack", the long table broke in the middle.

Yun Hao saw the "whoosh" and quickly stepped back, fearing that he would be hit by it.

There was a loud "bang" and the entire auction hall shook a few times.

The five Jindan cultivators and the old monster Linghu on the second floor also stood up and looked at the platform curiously.

The foundation-building monks below walked towards the platform one after another.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh" six people appeared on the platform.

Old Monster Linghu and five Jindan ancestors appeared on the high platform.

Lei Wanhe first shouted to the audience: "Everyone go down and sit down, no noise..."

Seeing this, Yun Hao went over, pulled open the long table and opened the box.

The six people saw that there was a dark yellow stone the size of a walnut inside, and there seemed to be water flowing on the stone.

“Do you know what material this is? It’s so heavy.” The ancestor of the Nie family spoke and looked at the others.

"Hiss..." The Chen family's ancestor took a breath of cold air after seeing what was inside.

Except for Linghu Old Monster, the others all looked at the Chen family ancestor. Li Huayuan asked impatiently, "Brother Chen, do you know what this material is?"

The Chen family ancestor looked at Linghu Old Monster and said, "Uncle Master, if I am not mistaken, this is the Xuanhuang Stone!"

Linghu Old Monster's originally motionless face showed a hint of emotion after he saw the appearance of the stone.

"Hey, why don't you tell me what the magical uses of this Xuanhuang Stone are! Senior Brother Chen..." There is no need to mention how annoyed Li Huayuan was.

The Chen family ancestor looked at the four people and explained: "It is normal that you fellow disciples are not aware of this material. If I were not practicing earth-attributed skills, I would probably not know the wonderful use of this Xuanhuang Stone."

"This Xuanhuang Stone is a material with the ultimate earth attribute..."
