However, they felt it probably wouldn't.
After all, judging from Mu Jinyu's previous reactions, he seemed fundamentally uninterested in anything related to the Martial Arts World, and only liked to buy little trinkets for women to make them happy.
So, even if it were Alchemy and the Alchemy Furnace, which were the highlight and climax of the auction, they might not pique his interest.
The position of the people from Dan Pavilion.
Chu Xuan and Old Man Wei, upon hearing the host's announcement, immediately perked up; finally, it was time for Alchemy.
If the auction continued to drag on, they were all going to lose patience.
After all, the God Realm expert from their Dan Pavilion would arrive in half an hour, and by then, Mu Jinyu was undoubtedly doomed!
As the host finished his introduction, a bamboo slip ancient book appeared on the screen behind him, densely packed with tiny characters.
This was to allow the people below to take a quick glance to confirm whether this Alchemy technique was real or fake before deciding whether to bid on it.
Originally, this process was not required, as nobody dared to snatch from the hands of those from Dan Pavilion, but since the Luo Family people saw the arrival of Mu Jinyu, they thought it could be an opportunity and asked the auction's organizer to display the beginning of the Alchemy technique, hoping to catch Mu Jinyu's attention.
That's why this scene was created.
Mu Jinyu was initially interested in Alchemy, but he suspected whether it was genuine, as he had never verified it himself. Just as he was about to ask the host to take out the original Alchemy document for him to examine, he saw it was already displayed on the screen.
He didn't say much else and started to idenfy it closely.
If it were a fake Alchemy technique, he would not bid twenty or more Third-level Top Grade Spiritual Medicines for it.
However, as he continued to watch, Mu Jinyu's eyes grew brighter and brighter, feeling that the Alchemy technique was probably ninety percent genuine.
"Guest at position three bids twenty-two Third-level Spiritual Medicines, any higher offers?"
At this moment, Mu Jinyu came back to his senses when he heard the host on stage continuously calling out, hoping for others to make their bids, repeatedly looking in his direction.
Mu Jinyu didn't need to think much to know that the Dan Pavilion people had already made their bids while he was observing the beginning of the Alchemy technique.
Mu Jinyu could also feel the vigilant gazes of Chu Xuan and others from Dan Pavilion.
Though they believed that Mu Jinyu wouldn't try to snatch the Alchemy technique, they feared the unexpected.
Mu Jinyu ignored their gazes, and just as the host was about to start the countdown, he raised his hand and shouted, "Twenty-four Third-level Spiritual Medicines."
"Boom!!"
As Mu Jinyu's words fell,
the quiet venue suddenly erupted into quite a stir.
Everyone who had been guessing whether Mu Jinyu would get involved realized that he was ready to confront Dan Pavilion head-on.
'Now, this will be a good show.'
People looked at Mu Jinyu, then at the people from Dan Pavilion, their eyes filled with well-disguised amusement, whispering in their minds: 'Fight, fight!'
Meanwhile, behind the scenes at the auction.
The Luo Family people were closely monitoring Mu Jinyu.
Originally, when Mu Jinyu was closely watching the screen and appeared thoughtful, their hearts were hanging.
It felt hopeful that Mu Jinyu might actually make a move against the Dan Pavilion people!
But they were also a bit frightened, afraid that Mu Jinyu didn't have enough Spiritual Medicines.
Then, he probably wouldn't bid.
But as Mu Jinyu spoke, they immediately relaxed.
Knowing now, there would be a great show to watch.
They knew Mu Jinyu had the strength to compete with the people from Dan Pavilion, as they had already learned about Mu Jinyu beating up the Dan Pavilion people at the auction entrance earlier.
Similarly, they had no doubt that Mu Jinyu would not default on his payment!
From the ongoing auction process, it was evident that Mu Jinyu had been paying every time, clearly not one of those untrustworthy types like those from Dan Pavilion!
"Great, although selling this Alchemy technique for only twenty-four Third-level Spiritual Medicines is a bit of a loss, it's still better than selling it to the Dan Pavilion people for barely two or three Spiritual Medicines!"
An elder from the Luo Family said with a smile on his face.
They all understood well that although the Dan Pavilion people bid twenty-two Third-level Spiritual Medicines, when it came to the transaction, they would be lucky to receive two or three Spiritual Medicines.
They would certainly not pay the full amount of twenty-two Third-level Spiritual Medicines!
"Hmm, I hope they fight it out, at least selling for thirty Spiritual Medicines!"
The younger generation of the Luo Family exclaimed with a laugh.
...
In the auction hall.
Chu Xuan and his comrades, always vigilant of Mu Jinyu, saw that Mu Jinyu indeed followed up with a bid. The rage that they had temporarily suppressed in their hearts instantly reignited.
"Smack!"
A young man couldn't suppress his fury, stood up abruptly from his chair, and glared at Mu Jinyu, exclaiming, "Are you really determined to oppose our Dan Pavilion?!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Jinyu glanced at him sideways, casually crossed his legs, and smiled, "Oppose you?"
"Tch!"
With a sneer, Mu Jinyu continued, "Do you even qualify?"
Shaking his head slightly, Mu Jinyu said coldly, "Don't you understand the rules of an auction? The highest bidder wins. What? Can't make the bid and now you want to threaten people? Unfortunately, I'm not buying your tricks!"
"You!"
The young man was infuriated and then, staring at Mu Jinyu, suddenly he had an idea and said, "I don't believe you have so many spiritual medicines, bring them out for us to check first, otherwise, you're just sabotaging and trying to inflate the prices to make us pay more!"
Having said that, the young man looked up at the host on stage and then towards the camera, saying, "Responsible persons of the auction, my query is reasonable, right? I hope you aren't deliberately targeting our Dan Pavilion!"
Backstage.
The people from the Luo Family and the auction were also furious upon hearing the young Dan Pavilion man's words.
In the end, the auction manager sighed softly and instructed someone to go out and check.
He really didn't dare to offend the people from Dan Pavilion.
Mu Jinyu sat leisurely in his seat, paying no mind to the young man's threats.
Soon, a staff member of the auction appeared in the hall and approached Mu Jinyu.
A middle-aged man dressed like a manager came up to Mu Jinyu and said respectfully, "Sir, please cooperate with our inspection."
Mu Jinyu saw that they were actually following Dan Pavilion's order to humiliate him, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He had no intention of cooperating, just to see what these Dan Pavilion people could do to him.
But seeing the manager's pleading eyes and his humble persuasion, Mu Jinyu sighed in resignation, suppressed his anger for the moment, then took out a parcel next to him and opened it for them to see.
Instantly, a refreshing fragrance spread throughout the hall, lifting the spirits of everyone present.
The young people from Dan Pavilion and Old Man Wei, seeing the various spiritual medicines inside the package, couldn't help but widen their eyes.
"How is this possible? How could this guy have so many third-level top-grade spiritual medicines?!"
They merely made a quick estimate and figured that there were at least eighty spiritual medicines in Mu Jinyu's parcel.
He was incredibly wealthy!
This was even more extravagant than his spending billions earlier in the auction!
"Is that satisfactory now?"
Mu Jinyu retied his package and said coldly to the auction manager.
"Yes." The manager nodded, then led his people away.
The host on stage, highly excited by this turn of events, gripped the microphone, looked towards the Dan Pavilion camp, and shouted, "Seat number thirteen, the bid is twenty-four spiritual medicines. Is there anyone willing to offer more?"
The people from Dan Pavilion hadn't expected Cheng Yaojin in the form of Mu Jinyu to disrupt their plans and were momentarily at a loss.
Besides, they only brought eight third-level spiritual medicines, not even the top-grade ones.
At that moment, the young man thought of Mu Jinyu's determination to obtain the alchemy and couldn't help but raise his hand, feigning great indignation, and shouted, "I bid twenty-six third-level spiritual medicines!"
The people from the Luo Family backstage saw the people from Dan Pavilion calling out the price, frowned for a moment, but then relaxed again.
It didn't matter, after all, Mu Jinyu had so many spiritual medicines, and he wasn't afraid of the people from Dan Pavilion. If the price of the alchemy was driven up by this young man, their Luo Family would only profit more in the end!
Mu Jinyu furrowed his brow and said, "Twenty-eight plants!"
"Thirty plants!" the young man called out immediately after.
Having said this, he looked at Mu Jinyu with a provocative gaze.
Mu Jinyu then raised his hand, his expression cold, and shouted:
"I also raise a query. I doubt that they have so many spiritual medicines, please, people from the auction, come out and inspect!"
Hearing Mu Jinyu's words, the young man from Dan Pavilion, who had been quite smug, suddenly had his expression freeze on his face.
How dare he?!
How dare he question the capability of their Dan Pavilion?!
