“Since you can't afford it, then stop whining and changing the subject. Heh, the esteemed head of the Zhu family is nothing more than this.”

With a cold laugh, Qin Chen couldn't be bothered to say anything more.

After this commotion, no one in the venue dared to compete with Qin Chen anymore.

Regardless of whether he was colluding with the Tianxing Merchant Association or not, this guy was clearly a madman; competing with him would only lead to suffering. They wouldn’t want to be caught in a trap, which would truly be a case of losing more than gaining.

“Alright, this friend has bid five hundred thousand silver coins, is there a higher bid?”

The old man in the black robe scanned the entire venue. He knew this price was already extremely high, but he still asked habitually.

Indeed, there was no sound at all in the room.

“Five hundred thousand once, five hundred thousand twice, five hundred thousand three times. Good, congratulations to this friend for successfully bidding for this strange fire at the price of five hundred thousand.” Shi Zhen struck down hard, locking in the price.

“Master Qin, this is the Blood Spirit Fire you just won for five hundred thousand silver coins. You really are…”

President Duan Ling Tian personally delivered the Blood Spirit Fire, handing the jade box to Qin Chen while sighing.

Five hundred thousand silver coins, that’s no small amount. Even for their Tianxing Merchant Association, it wasn’t something they could easily pull out. Yet, Qin Chen directly bid and secured it—a truly grand gesture.

Receiving the jade box, Qin Chen promptly opened it.

Buzz!

A brilliant azure lotus blossomed before Qin Chen, emitting a terrifying aura.

“It really is a top-tier strange fire!”

Although he didn’t know if this was indeed the Azure Lotus Demon Fire, the aura from this strange fire was exceptionally formidable, completely meeting his needs.

Nodding, Qin Chen directly stored the Blood Spirit Fire in his storage ring and then stood up suddenly.

“President Duan, I need to leave Wu City right now, please send someone to escort me out. As for the five hundred thousand silver coins…”

“What? Master Qin, you want to leave now?” Duan Ling Tian was taken aback, and Xu Xiong and the others were also stunned.

Although he didn’t understand why Qin Chen was in such a hurry to leave, Duan Ling Tian still nodded, “Alright, our Tianxing Merchant Association has a passageway at the back, I will personally take you out. As for the five hundred thousand silver coins, let’s just forget about it for now. The value of those one hundred and ten pills far exceeds that amount. For the money of this Blood Spirit Fire, our Tianxing Merchant Association will cover it for you.”

Qin Chen nodded and didn’t say anything further.

“Little Chen, let’s go with you!”

“Yes, wherever you go, we’ll follow!”

At this moment, Xu Xiong and the others spoke up from the side.

During this time, they had become accustomed to working under Qin Chen, and his sudden departure left them at a loss.

Qin Chen obviously could not take them with him. After all, he couldn’t even guarantee his own safe departure this time. If he brought Xu Xiong and the others along, it would be even more difficult to leave.

“You should stay in Wu City. With the protection of the Tianxing Merchant Association, there shouldn’t be any problems. Besides, our future cooperation with the Tianxing Merchant Association will still require you. However, you need to understand that relying on external forces will not allow you to become true powerhouses. The pills I gave you are enough for you to break through to the Mystic Level during this time. Whether you can seize this opportunity depends on yourselves.”

Qin Chen couldn’t help Xu Xiong and the others forever, but he had pointed them in a direction and arranged a backup plan. What they would do in the future was no longer something he could decide.

Next, under Duan Ling Tian's guidance, Qin Chen left the auction venue through the back door.
