Upon hearing these words, Shen Qiang was astonished, while Zhang Liwei was stunned on the spot.

Almost at the same time as the speaker, other auction participants also began to talk all at once.

"Relying on his few dirty money, he dares to bid? He doesn't even consider whether he is qualified or not."

"Exactly, so many high monks haven't spoken yet; what right does a worldly man, reeking of money, have to buy such Buddha's treasure?"

"This young man truly is clueless. Although I am not a follower of Buddhism, I still feel the boundless magical power of Buddha's relics. Such a treasure should be enshrined in a temple, not touched by secular hands!"

Mocked mercilessly by everyone in the hall, Zhang Liwei stood there, dumbfounded.

He just couldn't understand it.

Why, when Shen Qiang made a bid of ten million, was he considered bold, promising, and capriciously wealthy,

while his own bid of ten million only returned countless cold stares and disdain?

In the center of the hall, the beautiful manager Xu Nan smiled at the elderly man, saying, "Wan Xin Hesheng opens its doors to do business; all who come are guests. There's no reason to chase someone away unless the guest makes a clear mistake."

"So, Mr. Li, if you're not ready to bid for these Spirit Bone Relics, the current highest bidder is this gentleman."

"Ten million, going once; is there anyone else bidding?"

The elderly man was furious.

Just then, an old monk hit the bidding device and said solemnly, "Great Compassionate Temple, thirty million."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The money for purchasing the Shennong Cauldron was secured, and so was the money for buying a house to fulfill a previous promise.

But just as Shen Qiang's relief had settled, Xu Nan, the auction hostess, smiled and said, "Great Compassionate Temple bids thirty million. If there is no higher bid, these Spirit Bone Relics will go to the Great Compassionate Temple."

"At that time, countless followers will go to Great Compassionate Temple to worship, hence ensuring its prosperity. The abbot will surely be remembered forever."

Upon hearing this, an old monk who appeared congenial suddenly hit the bidding device, "Great Spirit Treasure Temple, fifty million."

But his words had barely finished,

"Great Ming Zen Temple bids sixty million!"

The old monk got a bit heated.

"Great Compassionate Temple, historically significant and with convenient access, more suitable for disciples to worship, seventy million!"

"The world's Buddha's treasures, half are in Great Spirit Treasure Temple, eighty million!"

"Great Ming Zen Temple, disciples all over the world, ninety million!"

The three old monks were visibly agitated, almost steaming at the head.

Shen Qiang's heart was pounding wildly.

Consider that the Blood Coral had already sold for twenty million!

With the current bid of ninety million, Shen Qiang's net worth had already exceeded a hundred million!

If it weren't for breaking the rules, Shen Qiang would have wished he could rush over and close the deal himself, ninety million! Ninety million!

"Alas...Not all disciples have a sincere heart for worshiping Buddha; Great Compassionate Temple, out."

Upon hearing this, the remaining old monk gritted his teeth and said, "Great Spirit Treasure Temple bids one hundred million!"

Suddenly, everyone present was stunned.

An auction of one hundred million.

Just to witness this was enough for them to boast for a lifetime.

But regretfully, this wasn't the end.

The old monk originally seated in the VIP section suddenly stood up and took off his Kasaya in one swift motion.

"Great Ming Zen Temple, one hundred and five million, plus a kasaya passed down from the Sixth Patriarch Huineng!"

The other old monk also got heated,

Reaching out, he took the Buddha Beads from around his neck and slammed them on the table along with the Zen Stick, saying sharply, "Great Spirit Treasure Temple, one hundred and ten million, plus traditional artifacts from past abbots..."

Seeing this scene, the auction manager Xu Nan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Two masters, auction does not allow items to offset each other,"

Hearing this, the old monk became anxious, "My kasaya is worth ten million!"

The other old monk said, "My zen stick and Buddha beads are worth ten million each!"

As the two old monks were about to start fighting, Xu Nan, the manager with smiling eyes, said, "One hundred and ten million for the first time, any more bids?"

Everyone present held their breath.

"One hundred and ten million for the second time."

"One hundred and ten million sold! Congratulations to the Great Spirit Treasure Temple for acquiring item number 168 at the price of one hundred and ten million!"

"Now, on behalf of Wanxin Hesheng, I would once again like to thank all our esteemed guests; this concludes our auction event."

The monks of the Great Spirit Treasure Temple were smiling broadly, bowing deeply in respect.

The monks from the other two temples, although also bowing deeply, were crying tears of sorrow.

After all, the Buddha's relics are not something you can see just anywhere.

The auction disbanded.

People had already begun to leave their seats.

But Shen Qiang was still stunned, his eyes wide in shock.

One hundred and ten million plus nineteen point five million equals one hundred twenty-nine point five million, subtract thirty million for the Shennong Cauldron leaves ninety-nine point five million, minus three percent in fees equals how much?

Such a simple math problem.

And yet it had stumped Shen Qiang at this moment.

"Congratulations, little brother!"

Mr. Ma's words snapped Shen Qiang out of it, but at this moment, a giddy Shen Qiang didn't know what to say.

Just then, Xu Nan, who had just finished the auction, approached Shen Qiang with a bright smile and said, "Mr. Shen, we have an item here that was accidentally left out of the auction list due to a staff oversight."

"The identification information is also lost, and I would like you to help appraise it. Also, there's a matter regarding the accounts; do you have time now?"

"Yes!" Shen Qiang replied, his eyes bright.

Xu Nan smiled, turning to Xin Xiaoting and said, "Ms. Xin, please go to the VIP reception room to rest for a while, Mr. Shen will join you shortly."

Xin Xiaoting smiled and nodded, then left with the staff.

Mr. Ma and Sun Kaiping wanted to follow, but Xu Nan politely said, "Mr. Shen will come with me, other guests may use the VIP passage to leave."

The two immediately halted.

Following behind the stunningly attractive Xu Nan, Shen Qiang was overjoyed.

Ninety-nine million, nearly a hundred million in huge funds, was about to enter his pocket.

Moving along the corridor.

Under Xu Nan's lead, they entered a large office where many staff members were busy doing statistics.

Passing through the office to another room, Xu Nan naturally sat at her position and then pushed a ring from a jewelry box across to Shen Qiang, saying, "It's this ring, please help appraise it."

In a good mood, Shen Qiang immediately activated "Observation Skill".

Suddenly.

Shen Qiang was stunned.

Magic Artifact: Storage Ring.

Primary Rank Magic Artifact, capacity three meters squared.

Material: Refined Gold Star Meteor Iron, Mithril.

Craftsmanship: Unengraved.

Age, 3 years.

Such appraisal results astounded Shen Qiang, who couldn't help but ask, "Is this ring for sale?"
