Xu Zimei declares his confidence stems from himself, baffling Zhou Yunque and Zhou Tongtong. Xu Sanduo defends his master, calling the sisters short-sighted. Meanwhile, Qi Shan approaches Zhou Yunque and Zhou Tongtong, revealing he bid an exorbitant amount for a cultivation technique they wanted, claiming he bought it for her. He then boasts about his even higher bid for the Myriad Peoples' Relic, intending to win Zhou Yunque with his wealth.

Zhou Yunque knew that Xu Zimei had the idea of forcibly taking the Myriad Peoples' Relic.

So she looked at Xu Zimei immediately.

Qi Shan noticed her gaze and frowned slightly.

He originally wanted to see a look of amazement on Zhou Yunque's face, but he didn't expect her to look at another man.

This made him a bit angry.

Only then did Qi Shan start to observe Xu Zimei.

"This friend, may I know your name?" Qi Shan took the initiative to ask.

"What do you want?" Xu Zimei countered.

After all, he had heard the conversation just now, and to him, Qi Shan seemed like an easy target just buying the Myriad Peoples' Relic for him.

As for the rest, he was too lazy to bother communicating with this person.

"I just want to get to know you, my friend. You seem unfamiliar," Qi Shan continued.

"I'm not interested in knowing you," Xu Zimei replied calmly.

Upon hearing this, Qi Shan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Those who knew him knew that he was angry.

One must know that his status was not low, especially with the power backing him.

His father was the Vice Leader of the Right Alliance of the Myriad Immortals Alliance.

He had some prestige here.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be spending money so lavishly.

"Fine, very good," Qi Shan laughed coldly.

At this time, Elder Yu from the auction stepped onto the stage.

Interrupting the continuous murmuring below.

He first bowed to the crowd.

Smiled, "Ladies and gentlemen, the final results of your bids have just been announced."

"Now I formally announce that anyone who participated in the auction can proceed to pay."

It was clear that the auction results this time were quite good.

After all, it was Elder Yu's first time auctioning in this way.

If it went wrong, he would also be held accountable.

But fortunately, the outcome was good, even better than usual.

As Elder Yu announced the final bids one by one, some were delighted, others sighed.

"Hundred Enlightenment Method, two thousand Contribution Value, acquired by Young Master Qi Shan."

"Myriad Peoples' Relic, thirty thousand Contribution Value, acquired by Young Master Qi Shan."

At this moment, as Elder Yu announced it, everyone looked at Qi Shan.

No one expected him to be so wealthy and extravagant.

More than ten thousand Contribution Value, given so effortlessly to you.

Though the Myriad Peoples' Relic was good, its use was minimal, mostly just a piece of material.

Many wouldn't spend so much Contribution Value to buy it.

It must be known that Contribution Value is no simple matter.

Since the Divine Ruins appeared, for illegal tomb raiders, the Divine Race guarded this place heavily.

Once tomb raiders were found, they were killed without mercy.

Later, the Myriad Immortals Alliance was formed, gathering all the tomb raiders together.

Of course, the Myriad Immortals Alliance was not a match for the Divine Race.

But they didn't confront the Divine Race directly, instead, they hid in the dark, taking advantage of the Divine Race's unpreparedness, sneaking into the Divine Ruins to loot.

After all, the Divine Ruins were vast, and the Divine Race couldn't focus all their energy there.

Plus, the Myriad Immortals Alliance had a lot of accurate intelligence.

So the Myriad Immortals Alliance rose quickly, gathering all tomb raiders outside the Divine Ruins together.

And Contribution Value became a currency established by the Myriad Immortals Alliance.

The treasures looted from the Divine Ruins were traded in Contribution Value.

So you can see the importance of Contribution Value.

More than ten thousand Contribution Value is beyond what many dare to imagine.

After all, risking one's life in the Divine Ruins rarely yielded many ancient artifacts, and the exchanged Contribution Value was not much.

Of course, Qi Shan's status was there for all to see.

At its peak, even the Divine Race was powerless against the Myriad Immortals Alliance.

Later, it was said that many conflicts occurred within the Myriad Immortals Alliance.

Ultimately erupting.

The entire Myriad Immortals Alliance split into two.

Becoming the Myriad Immortals Left Alliance and Right Alliance.

Zhou Tongtong and Zhou Yunque, the two sisters, joined the Left Alliance.

As for Qi Shan, he belonged to the Right Alliance.

The two alliances had different ideologies, though they often disagreed, due to the threat of the Divine Race.

So they often cooperated in combat and shared intelligence.

After all, it's a matter of mutual survival.

...…

After hearing Elder Yu's words, Qi Shan didn't delay at all.

He knew the special status of the Earth Divine Auction House.

Here, one simply couldn't be delinquent.

In front of everyone, he handed in more than ten thousand Contribution Value, subsequently obtaining the Myriad Peoples' Relic and the Hundred Enlightenment Method.

He placed the Myriad Peoples' Relic on his person.

While acquiring these items, two figures stood guard beside him at all times.

Both appeared muscular and fierce.

These two were Qi Shan's bodyguards.

They both seemed hard to provoke, exuding a terrifying aura that made many refrain from approaching.

This was Qi Shan's confidence.

As the son of the Right Alliance's Vice Leader, along with formidable guards, very few dared to offend him.

"Miss Yunque, this Hundred Enlightenment Method is useless to me. I offer it to you as a gesture of goodwill," Qi Shan said with a smile.

Zhou Yunque shook her head slightly.

She replied, "Young Master Qi, we cannot accept this undeserved kindness. You should keep it for yourself."

"Miss Yunque, this is my sincerity in making friends. Won't you even give me that much face?" Qi Shan narrowed his eyes and smiled.

He was using enticement and threat tactics.

This strategy of Qi Shan had proven effective many times.

Once the other party accepted the gift, he could slowly coax them, a feeling he greatly enjoyed.

Everything was under his control.

However, this time Qi Shan clearly miscalculated.

Before Zhou Yunque could speak, Zhou Tongtong next to her had already frowned.

Annoyed, she said, "Can't you tell my sister doesn't want to know you?"

"Why do you keep clinging on and making things difficult?"

Zhou Tongtong spoke straightforwardly.

When he heard this, Qi Shan's face turned unsightly.

He coldly glanced at Zhou Tongtong and then said in a harsh voice, "Little girl, the world is dangerous, I hope you will be more careful in the future."

"Let's go," he waved, ready to leave with his two burly bodyguards.

After all, being spoken to like this was humiliating.

Many were watching, and he had to maintain his dignity.

As for Zhou Yunque and Zhou Tongtong, since persuasion failed, force would have to be used.

"Wait a moment," Xu Zimei stepped forward, suddenly blocking Qi Shan's path.

The two burly men behind Qi Shan immediately stepped forward, staring fiercely at Xu Zimei.

"Kid, what do you want?"

Qi Shan said coldly.

He wasn't afraid, knowing the strength of his guards.

Despite their robust appearance, both guards had hidden abilities.

One specialized in power, the other in speed.

If they could fight, the power guard would handle it.

If not, the speed guard would ensure their escape.

A dual strategy approach.

"I'm quite interested in the Myriad Peoples' Relic you auctioned. You can leave, but leave the item," Xu Zimei said calmly.
