Battle Through the Heavens: The Rock King Emperor's Leisurely Wanderings in the Mortal World

Chapter 43 666, no need to act anymore.

Yun Huhai gritted his teeth in anger, his face filled with resentment. He understood the situation, and with no other choice, suppressed his rage. With a mixture of resentment and humiliation, he pleaded loudly, "I beg Senior Zhongli to show mercy! This junior was blind and failed to recognize your esteemed presence. We will leave immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Li slowly relaxed his slightly clenched hands.

In an instant, the powerful, inviolable pressure that the four people below the stage had felt from the sky vanished.

Although the suffocating pressure was gone, the three people except for the Fighting King still coughed up a mouthful of blood again due to the drastic change in the pressure their bodies were under.

At this moment, Yun Huhai was already unsteady on his feet. The threat of death was ever-present, and the loss of a large amount of blood caused the legs of this incomparably noble eighth prince of the Chuyun Empire to tremble uncontrollably. He gasped for breath, and the double vision in his eyes became more and more obvious, as if the whole world was shaking.

Finally, with the help of the two-star Dou Wang, Yun Huhai was able to leave the Mittel Auction House. However, this Dou Wang expert was far less lenient with the other two, grabbing them by the collar and dragging them along the ground.

After that brief interlude quietly came to an end, those who had previously caused trouble in the audience became noticeably more well-behaved.

Upon seeing this, Master Gu Ni seemed to have a great weight lifted from his heart. He nodded slightly and then loudly expressed his gratitude to Zhong Li.

Zhong Li politely nodded in response, then slowly sat down again.

Normally, you need to change into slippers before entering the No. 1 room, since most of the rooms are covered with delicate luxury carpets.

However, Zhongli still wore his shoes. Firstly, as a god of the earth element, whether the soles of his shoes were dusty was a trivial matter to him.

Secondly, given his status as a high-level Dou Wang powerhouse whom the Mittel family needed to cultivate relationships with, how could they possibly argue with Zhong Li over a carpet? This would undoubtedly be an extremely foolish move.

The auction continued in an orderly manner.

Because the carpet was extremely soft and comfortable, Little Fairy Doctor ran barefoot and lightly to Zhongli's side.

"Master, among these treasures, is there any that catches your eye?"

Little Fairy Doctor sat obediently on the chair next to Zhong Li, her body slightly turned to the side, and she lazily leaned back, her cute little head gently resting on Zhong Li's lap.

Zhong Li maintained his calm expression and did not look down. He simply transferred the juice from his right hand to his left, then reached out his right hand and gently stroked Xiao Yixian's waterfall-like hair.

At that moment, Xiao Yan moved like lightning, suddenly rushing to the stands, his hands tightly gripping the gilded railing, as if afraid of missing something important.

Immediately, Xiao Yan slowly turned around, his gaze fixed on Zhong Li, and asked with a hint of urgency, "Master, what Teacher just said, could this bronze piece be an extremely rare find?"

Zhong Li nodded slightly in acknowledgment. Although the crowd below the stage could not fathom the wonder of this small bronze piece, they vaguely sensed that it was no ordinary object. Therefore, the auction house treated it as a bonus item accompanying a low-level Xuan-rank water-attribute combat skill—"Flowing Cloud Binding".

At this moment, Master Gu Ni below the stage was giving a long and detailed introduction to this high-level combat technique, which was considered top-tier by everyone in Wutan City. It was bound to spark fierce competition among the various families.

"Flowing Cloud Binding, this is a low-level Xuan-rank water-attribute combat skill. When used, it only requires a light flick of the sleeve to unleash a silken stream of water that entangles the enemy. The more the enemy struggles, the tighter the water silk binds. As the cultivator's skill deepens, the water sleeve becomes increasingly solid. If one can master it, one can even seep the water into the opponent's meridians to suppress their battle qi. Starting bid: 8 gold coins."

"Take it down," Zhong Li said to Xiao Yan without hesitation.

Upon receiving this unquestionable order, Xiao Yan instantly gathered his Dou Qi in his throat and, with overwhelming force, suppressed the clamor that was about to erupt from below the stage.

"Number One in the Heavenly Rank! 80,000 Gold Coins!"

The entire hall fell silent once again...

"(◇)? Are you kidding me? Who would dare to fight for the top-tier room if it says so?"

"Damn it! I'm not playing anymore, I'm leaving." Galeo, the eldest son of the Galeo family, threw down his sign and walked straight off the field.

"Six hundred and sixty-six. You're not even going to put on an act, you're just calling out the starting bid. Are you really sure we won't dare to compete?" Obama's eldest son said angrily.

"Then why don't you just rob it?" someone nearby egged on.

"Hehe, I wouldn't dare."

……

"Eighty thousand gold coins, once! Eighty thousand gold coins, twice! Eighty thousand gold coins, three times! Sold!" Master Gu Ni's hammer fell, sealing the deal. This fighting technique was originally expected to sell for between twelve and fifteen thousand gold coins, but since the buyer was Zhongli, who had just helped him, a slightly lower price was insignificant and harmless.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Teacher, what exactly is that piece of copper?" Xiao Yan asked, full of curiosity. Although he knew nothing about it, something that made both his masters feel like they had gotten a great deal couldn't possibly be an ordinary object.

"Hehe, actually the real secret isn't in the copper piece itself, but in the rust that's attached to it. Well, I'll tell you the details once I get my hands on it."

In this tranquil moment, a graceful maid, like a gentle breeze, carefully pushed open the door.

She walked slowly and gracefully towards Zhong Li. Reaching his side, she leaned down slightly, bringing her red lips close to his ear, and whispered, "Mr. Zhong Li, Miss Ya Fei requests your presence. The sellers of the two items you previously reserved for auction specifically requested a meeting with you. Please come in."

"Okay, I understand." Zhong Li responded, slowly putting down the cup and gently patting the Little Fairy Doctor who was immersed in his aura and about to drift off to sleep.

"Xian'er, I need to go and discuss some matters with that seller. Please get up first." Zhongli leaned down slightly and spoke softly to Little Fairy Doctor, afraid of disturbing her peaceful slumber.

Little Fairy Doctor slightly opened her hazy eyes, her gaze falling on Zhongli who was so close to her. Looking at Zhongli's handsome yet calm face, a sudden impulse surged within her. For a moment, she really had the urge to quickly look up and kiss him.
