Upon hearing Liu Chengye's words, everyone in the auction hall glanced at Shen Qiang with a look of amusement. After all, Shen Qiang indeed holds a transcendent status in the Provincial City now, but half a year ago, he was just a rookie with no status whatsoever here.

So, although they dared not say anything aloud, they were already secretly delighted seeing Liu Chengye sneer at the protagonist.

"Heh, Shen Qiang, half a year ago, you didn't even have the privilege to speak to me here. Now, I have to greet you with a smile the moment you show up. Got tricked, didn't you? Serves you right! One and a half billion, how many Dust-free Rooms could it build?"

"Haha, love seeing people like Shen Qiang get made fun of. He used to rise in the antique street with his eye power, but now it seems that once he became a boss, his eye power deteriorated significantly. How much does a vacuum cleaner cost? Spending one and a half billion to buy a Dust Avoidance Pearl, clearly too rich with nowhere to spend it."

"This guy named Liu isn't simple at all, even Shen Qiang got tricked, hahaha. Who would've thought that Shen Qiang, who hunts the goose all day, would be injured by the goose today. Finally, I can see him stranded in the gutter, his undefeated legend in the antique street ends here!"

Under the complex gazes of the crowd, Xu Nan's pretty face turned cold.

But before Xu Nan could speak, Shen Qiang gently held her hand, signaling her to stay calm.

Then Shen Qiang laughed, raised his eyebrows casually, and said, "Handing a divine weapon to a three-year-old child would be nothing more than a pretty but useless piece of trash that could even harm oneself, but in the hands of a true master, it's the Supreme Divine Weapon."

Liu Chengye sneered, "You can use the Dust Avoidance Pearl as a divine weapon? Cutting watermelons? Or using it for cooking."

Looking at the smug Liu Chengye, Shen Qiang smiled, "With this item, I can perform surgeries anywhere, anytime and for anyone. If I can save a life, even this one and a half billion small expense is worth it."

Upon hearing this, the man beside Liu Chengye immediately looked embarrassed.

Liu Chengye raised his eyebrows in triumph and sneered, "Shen Boss, you really know how to boast, quite adept at finding excuses to console yourself. But stupid is stupid! Who would abandon a formal hospital to let you perform surgery in some random corner?"

"So you don't need to explain, you're just brainless, foolish, because only a fool would spend one and a half billion on an useless Dust Avoidance Pearl." Liu Chengye raised his eyebrows triumphantly, "And only a fool would truly consider the Dust Avoidance Pearl a treasure."

As Liu Chengye said this, several sneers echoed through the hall.

After all, people are like that, watching others get embarrassed can always bring joy.

Seeing everyone showing a look that seemed to say, "Shen Qiang, now you're speechless, right?"

Sitting on the sofa, Shen Qiang laughed, "Liu Chengye, it seems you don't understand me at all. In the circle of cultivators in the Provincial City, no one fears my elixir pills, fears my antiques, fears my cuisine, fears my talent, but there's one thing, in the cultivator circle of the Provincial City, that all cultivators are quite wary of."

"Heshenghe? Who doesn't know, it's full of demons?" Liu Chengye curled his lips.

Shen Qiang laughed, "I'm talking about myself, not about the company."

Upon hearing this, the man beside Liu Chengye's eyes suddenly lit up, "I know, you're talking about poisoning!"

Instantly, the auction hall became silent, even the sound of breathing became much quieter.

"Correct answer!"

Shen Qiang smiled and raised his eyebrows, "You know, downstairs when you took out the Dust Avoidance Pearl and wanted to bet another round with me, I actually didn't care at all because I knew no one would spend big money on something like a Dust Avoidance Pearl."

"So at that moment, I thought this thing could be handy while practicing medicine outside, it seemed the most suitable, so spending a bit to get it was not bad."

Watching Liu Chengye's suspicious gaze, the smile on Shen Qiang's lips widened, "You know, poisoning others can be addictive, and I couldn't quit it, so after you arrogantly provoked me, I felt I should teach you a little lesson."

"You poisoned me?" Liu Chengye's expression turned horrified.

Shen Qiang laughed, "Yes, I did give you a laxative, intending to make you keep running to the restroom. However, at that point, I was suddenly shocked to find that I had actually failed to poison you."

Everyone was taken aback.

"Failed to poison? How is that possible? Regulars here know that Shen Qiang's poisoning technique is invisible and magical, how could it fail?"

"Unbelievable, Shen Qiang failing to poison, it sounds like a fantasy."

"Exactly, Shen Qiang can perform poisonings with unprecedented skills under Divine Sense surveillance, he truly is a master Poison Master."

As they were in shock, Shen Qiang flipped his wrist, and the Dust Avoidance Pearl that was stored in his Storage Ring was already in his hand.

Smiling at the puzzled Liu Chengye, Shen Qiang smiled, "I was terrified at the time because poisoning is my strongest life-saving technique, but in just an instant, I realized the cause of my poisoning failure was not because your cultivation was high, nor was it because my technique was faulty, but because of this Dust Avoidance Pearl in my hand."

Instantly, Liu Chengye's complexion turned pale.

The crowd present also showed shocked expressions, and a cultivator suddenly understood, exclaimed in surprise, "I understand now, whether it's poison or bacteria, they're merely dust to the Dust Avoidance Pearl, so as long as dust cannot approach, Shen Qiang's poisoning technique becomes ineffective!"

"Smart!" Shen Qiang put the Dust Avoidance Pearl back into his Storage Ring and smiled at Liu Chengye, "If you weren't so eager to mock me constantly, I might have let you enjoy a little longer, but since you're relentlessly pressing, don't blame me for telling you the truth."

"Your one and a half billion sale didn't just lose a unique magical treasure, you sold your life.", Shen Qiang smiled, looking at Liu Chengye, whose face had turned as pale as a sheet of paper, "Because when the Dust Avoidance Pearl is beside you, aside from tampering with food, I simply have no way to poison you."

"That's why I was horrified to realize that the Dust Avoidance Pearl is actually the only nemesis of my life-saving and enemy-killing ultimate skill! So forget about one and a half billion, even for fifty-one billion, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it."

"And now, the Dust Avoidance Pearl is already in my possession. So Liu Chengye, in my eyes now, you are nothing but a sheep stripped naked, tied to the chopping board, awaiting slaughter. Don't talk about resistance; now you don't even have the right to struggle."

Upon hearing this, Liu Chengye suddenly raised his hand and gave himself a harsh slap.

Then he regretfully and angrily said, "Shen Qiang, well done! But it's useless, I sold the Dust Avoidance Pearl for one and a half billion; you can't outbid me with an item, once I win your money, I'll take it and flee far away!"

Shen Qiang chuckled upon hearing this.

At this moment, Xu Nan, already impatient beside Shen Qiang, laughed coldly, "Mr. Liu, then you might be disappointed because the item Mr. Shen Qiang is selling next is the Jiazi Pill that can grant sixty years of life, so I think you're already destined to lose."
