As Chen Kun’s words fell, the scene immediately plunged into a deafening silence; everyone looked up at the VIP rooms on the second floor.
According to the internal layout of Premium Auction House, the first floor was the auction hall, while the VIP rooms surrounded the second floor.
And the Black Dragon Commerce Association’s VIP room was situated directly opposite the Chen Family’s VIP room.
At this moment, Chen Kun’s face was filled with rage, his glare fixed firmly on Qin Chuan across from him.
Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment, then looked towards the auctioneer and asked, "At Premium Auction House, if Chen Kun participates in a bid, does it mean no one else can join in?"
The auctioneer hastened to reply, "Sir, you must be joking. In any auction house, the highest bidder wins."
"That’s good to know!"
Qin Chuan nodded, then looked across at Chen Kun and said with a cold laugh, "If you can’t keep up, Chen Kun, you might as well give up. Don’t think that just because your family is powerful, anyone who dares to compete with you for something is challenging you."
"You’re not even worthy of my provocation."
Qin Chuan’s words, like a thunderclap, exploded in the auction house.
Everyone was stunned; the Chen Family was a top family in East Sea Province City, and with Chen Kun as the heir, he was the future Family head, a powerful elite standing at the summit of East Sea Province City.
And yet, Qin Chuan, a young man from the small city of Jiangcheng, dared to speak to Chen Kun in such a manner.
Chen Kun made no attempt to hide the murderous intent in his eyes as he stared at Qin Chuan and said, "Good, the last person who dared to challenge me now has grass growing tall over his grave."
"Keep spouting nonsense, and I’ll have the Chen Family arranging a funeral today."
As Chen Kun’s words faded, an icy voice came from the Black Dragon Commerce Association’s box.
In that instant, the temperature in the entire venue seemed to drop several degrees, and even Chen Kun shivered involuntarily, his expression freezing completely.
Although Ye Qingwan hadn’t approached the window of the VIP room, everyone present recognized her voice.
Just then, the auctioneer quickly spoke up, "Is there anyone else who wishes to join the bidding?"
"Thirty million, once!"
"Thirty million, twice!"
"Thirty million, three times!"
"Bang!"
The gavel confirmed the sale!
The auctioneer announced loudly, "Congratulations to the guest in VIP room number two, for successfully acquiring this jade pendant of Qin Shihuang."
With Ye Qingwan stepping in, who else would dare to bid?
Only after the auctioneer’s gavel came down did Chen Kun snap out of the pressure Ye Qingwan had put on him, but by then, it was too late to bid.
He clenched his fists tight, his face filled with reluctance.
It wasn’t because he failed to secure the jade pendant, but because he had been humiliated by Qin Chuan and even publicly threatened by Ye Qingwan.
In the following auctions, Qin Chuan did not participate, as none of the items were of interest to him.
As the other auctions continued, a staff member from the Premium Auction House had already brought the jade pendant over.
"Mr. Qin, does this jade pendant hold some secret?"
Ye Qingwan looked curiously at the jade pendant in Qin Chuan’s hands and asked.
When Qin Chuan saw this pendant, he could hardly suppress his excitement.
Song Jie, Song Yan, and Dongfang Yiren, all looked at Qin Chuan with curiosity.
Qin Chuan controlled his excitement and instead turned to Ye Qingwan and asked, "President Ye, do you know about Kunlun Divine Prison?"
"Kunlun Divine Prison?"
Ye Qingwan shook her head and asked, "Do you need me to have someone look into it?"
Qin Chuan quickly shook his head, "Since you don’t know, let’s leave it at that."
Song Jie and Song Yan were also clueless. They had heard Qin Chuan ask Song Qingshan this question before at the Song Family, and Song Qingshan did not know either.
Dongfang Yiren suddenly asked, "Is this a prison on Mount Kunlun?"
Qin Chuan looked at Dongfang Yiren and asked, "Miss Dongfang, do you know?"
Dongfang Yiren shook her head: "I’m just interpreting it based on the literal meaning of this place. I haven’t heard of any prison on Mount Kunlun."
Ye Qingwan also said, "Indeed, there’s no prison on Mount Kunlun. Perhaps what Mr. Qin mentioned is simply a place name."
Even Ye Qingwan was unaware?
Qin Chuan suddenly felt somewhat disappointed.
However, thinking about the scenes in his memory, he calmed down again. With current human knowledge, it was simply impossible to understand everything within Kunlun Divine Prison.
Perhaps, the Kunlun Divine Prison was like a Shangri-La.
He looked at the Jade Pendant in his hand, feeling a wave of affection.
"Hmm?"
Ye Qingwan suddenly let out a cry of surprise, pointing at the Jade Pendant in Qin Chuan’s hand and saying, "The Jade Pendant has changed color."
The others turned their gaze toward the Jade Pendant in Qin Chuan’s hand.
Qin Chuan also looked at the Jade Pendant, only to find that what was once a high-quality Jade Pendant with a gentle luster, had now become an ordinary piece of jade.
To his surprise, he felt a mysterious gas in his body, which actually had the effect of suppressing the Kunlun Divine Poison.
Could it be that the gas in his body had actively penetrated from the Jade Pendant into him?
Qin Chuan quickly circulated the Great Mysterious True Scripture, and the mysterious gas flowed through his Extraordinary Channels and Eight Meridians, completing a circuit and rapidly healing his injuries.
He had suffered considerable injuries due to the onset of the Kunlun Divine Poison, but now they were being healed by that mysterious gas.
What was key was that the gas stayed within his body without any loss, eventually settling into his Dantian.
Qin Chuan was overjoyed. Although he was unsure what this gas was, he knew it had potent healing effects.
"Mr. Qin, what’s the matter?"
Ye Qingwan asked, looking at Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan then composed himself, shook his head, and stared at Ye Qingwan, asking, "Are you injured?"
Ye Qingwan was greatly alarmed, she hadn’t expected Qin Chuan to spot her injury with just one glance.
However, considering Qin Chuan’s Transcendent medical skills, she was relieved.
She nodded slightly, her face somber as she said, "Please keep this a secret, everyone."
Song Jie and Song Yan quickly said, "Rest assured, President Ye, we will definitely not speak of this to anyone."
Dongfang Yiren also said, "Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone!"
Ye Qingwan had only recently taken her position, and many were eyeing it. If the news of her injury got out, it would bring great danger to her.
Although she didn’t say it, Song Yan and the others could guess that Ye Qingwan’s injuries must be very serious.
Qin Chuan suddenly said, "President Ye, give me your hand!"
Ye Qingwan was startled for a moment, and Song Yan quickly said, "President Ye, Qin Chuan wants to treat you, quickly stretch out your hand!"
Ye Qingwan then came back to her senses and smiled bitterly, shaking her head, "Mr. Qin, I appreciate your kindness! But let’s forget about the treatment, I am well aware of my condition, and even the Saintly Hands of the National Medical Hall can’t cure my injury."
Qin Chuan said, "It’s only a shattered Dantian, I can heal it!"
A bold guess suddenly formed in his mind. If the mysterious gas could travel through the Extraordinary Channels and Eight Meridians and quickly heal his own injuries, could it heal someone else’s injuries as well?
