Evan Yang ignored him. Whatever he wanted to bid on now had nothing to do with Evan; he was just waiting to see how much his own Immortal Yellow Earth would fetch.
Tanner Xiao and Lexi Lynn were both furious. Their enemy was right in front of them, but they couldn’t do anything about it—neither of them had the strength. Only Evan Yang did, but he kept silent.
The five of them sat like this for a long time. Many items were auctioned off until finally Immortal Yellow Earth was brought out. Evan Yang watched the stage, and the others all showed strange expressions when they heard the lot announced.
“How could there be such a thing here?” Tanner Xiao exclaimed. Lexi Lynn was equally shocked, and Kade Santos, sitting nearby, was too.
Everyone else in the room reacted the same way.
It was supposed to start at one million, but someone immediately called out ten million, and the price even soared to fifteen million.
This was completely unexpected for Evan Yang. He was extremely curious and wanted to find out why.
After Immortal Yellow Earth was auctioned off, Evan Yang stood up and said, "Let’s go."
“Brother Evan, you’re done already?” Tanner Xiao asked curiously when he saw Evan Yang was ready to leave so soon.
“Done? What’s so fun about this?” Evan Yang chuckled, then led Tanner Xiao and Lexi Lynn out. Kade Santos also got up and hurried away.
Not only that, but the room suddenly emptied out quite a bit.
Evan Yang suspected this had to do with his auctioning of the Immortal Yellow Earth. Still, he kept his composure, telling Tanner Xiao and Lexi Lynn to wait outside while he took the card from earlier and went to the elder’s private room to exchange it for spirit crystals.
"You're young. Best not to tell anyone you auctioned Immortal Yellow Earth, or you know what could happen. You saw it for yourself just now, right?" The elder handed Evan Yang the bag of spirit crystals and gave him a special warning.
Evan Yang hadn’t expected the elder to be so considerate. What he didn’t realize was that the black market people just wanted to avoid trouble—if they could reduce complications, they would. Still, they weren’t cowards, so the warning was just a simple reminder.
That simple reminder made Evan Yang realize the matter was anything but simple. He said goodbye to the elder, then went to the entrance and saw Lexi Lynn supporting Tanner Xiao.
"Why was Kade Santos in such a hurry to leave?" Evan Yang asked curiously on the way back.
"Of course it’s because of that stinky mud." Lexi Lynn called Immortal Yellow Earth "stinky mud."
"What’s so special about it? I noticed a lot of people left, and it seems connected to that mud," Evan Yang said suspiciously.
"Brother Evan, how come you don’t even know about this?" Lexi Lynn felt that after spending time with Evan Yang, she kept finding things he didn’t know.
It wasn’t that Evan Yang didn’t know—it was just that he was new here and didn’t understand much about the place.
Tanner Xiao quickly spoke up for Evan Yang: "You think everyone knows everything like you do?"
"Tanner, how can you say that about me?" Lexi Lynn grumbled.
Evan Yang quickly smiled and said, "I was in seclusion for a long time, so I don’t know much. Could you tell me?"
"You explain it." Lexi Lynn quieted down after Tanner Xiao’s comment.
Tanner Xiao had no choice but to explain: "Here’s the thing. Immortal Yellow Earth is a rare soil. Besides being used to grow precious things, it can also be refined into certain magic treasures. But most importantly, there’s a sect named after it—the Yellow Heaven Sect. Everyone there cultivates a special technique, and if they use even a bit of Immortal Yellow Earth, its power increases greatly. As for why those people left so suddenly, do you know why?"
"I don’t know." Evan Yang was curious about Immortal Yellow Earth’s effects, but didn’t understand why it was connected to those people.
"Because many of their families are tied to the Yellow Heaven Sect—some even have relatives there. And Kade Santos’s father, Ronald Santos, came from the Yellow Heaven Sect. He’s been stuck at the Out-of-Body Realm, unable to advance because he lacks Immortal Yellow Earth. Today, they’ll definitely try to get some from the buyer." Tanner Xiao explained.
"Really?" Evan Yang hadn’t expected Immortal Yellow Earth to be connected to a sect, let alone the Santos Family.
"If there’s anything you don’t know in the future, just ask me. I’ll tell you," Tanner Xiao said with a smile.
"Me too! I know a lot as well," Lexi Lynn added suddenly.
