The commotion in the room settled down after a while.
Everyone was basically familiar with each other, or at least had heard of one another. They all had a rough idea of who was in each room, so there was no longer any need for secrecy regarding identities during the auction.
Some rooms simply drew their curtains aside and openly participated in the bidding.
Among the five Heavenly rooms, only three were occupied while the other two were empty.
In Heavenly Room No. 1, there was no doubt that the Law Sovereign was accompanied by people from the Law Enforcement Headquarters; Room No. 2 was, of course, occupied by Bu Liqing and his disciple Mo Qingwu. Room No. 3 was not unexpected either; it was occupied by the Fengyue Couple.
In the Earth and Human rooms, there were five rooms each. Aside from Chu Yang, who took Room No. 3, each of the nine great clans had one room. However, the room belonging to the Lan Family was empty.
Lan Muxue was currently focused on healing her injuries, and her remaining subordinates consisted of just two supreme persons, who had to protect her and could not come.
Thus, only eight of the nine great families were represented.
In Heavenly Room No. 2, Mo Qingwu, dressed in red, supported her chin with her hands, looking sullen. After a long pause, she finally asked, “Master, is Brother Chu Yang really not coming?”
Bu Liqing replied confidently, “Your Brother Chu Yang will definitely not come!”
He thought to himself, with such a large-scale event, how could your Brother Chu Yang, a small fry, have the qualifications to attend? Besides, if he could come here, why would I bring you along?
This was something that could be deduced even with one’s knees.
Bu Zhizun was quite pleased with himself.
In fact, he was currently contemplating a rather clever idea: if there were suitable medicines here and there was enough quantity, he would bid on them, then immediately take Mo Qingwu and leave.
To stay far away from this place where they could encounter Chu Yang at any moment!
To prevent his disciple from becoming increasingly entangled!
He would immediately find a new residence with Ning Tianya. They would find a desolate place and let his disciple cultivate for a hundred or eighty years, by then, Chu Yang would have aged and wouldn’t be able to come out!
After a hundred or eighty years, even the deepest longing would fade, and then when she saw an old man with a wrinkled face… it would be a miracle if Xiaowu didn’t spit at him, let alone call him Brother Chu Yang! Get lost!
Bu Liqing was thinking with great satisfaction.
Mo Qingwu’s eyes were darting around. She thought, Master clearly does not want me to see Brother Chu Yang. How mean! After this auction is over, I will sneak away.
I’ll run to Brother Chu Yang and won’t come out again! Hmph! Ungrateful! I didn’t even want to become his disciple at first; it was Brother Chu Yang who insisted.
Mo Qingwu stuck out her tongue at Bu Liqing’s back. She rolled her eyes and sat sulking in silence.
The curtain slowly drew open, and surprisingly, a white-clothed person stood on the high platform in the center, with white hair and a youthful face, tall and robust, exuding a kind demeanor.
The crowd stirred with excitement.
They immediately recognized the significance of this auction. The person who came out was actually the Great Protector, second only to the Valley Master in the Medicine Valley!
Previously, he was the recognized number one divine doctor in the Nine Heavens! Also the number one divine pharmacist!
It was rare to see him in public for any matter, and now that he personally appeared, it indicated that the specifications of this auction far exceeded everyone’s expectations.
“Ahem, ahem… everyone, this old man has a few words to say.” The Great Protector chuckled, cleared his throat after coughing twice.
Just this one statement made attentive listeners pick up on the excitement in his voice.
It seemed there really were quite a few heavenly materials and earthly treasures?
