Chapter 102: Mysterious Buyer
“130,000 spirit stones!”
After hearing Qi Yueheng’s price, the mysterious black-clothed man continued to raise the price without hesitation.
“Oh, I wonder where this person came from? Is he trying to oppose Qi Yueheng or the Qi clan?”
Bai Wuheng had been quietly watching the show from the side. In reality, he planned to wait until the other people’s bids were about the same before he bid the final price. However, he had never expected that the black-clothed man’s strength would actually be so strong.
The audience at the side had already sunk into complete madness. The auction price of more than 100,000 spirit stones was constantly transmitted into their ears. It made them feel as if they were in a dream, filled with an unreal dream-like feeling!
“140,000 spirit stones!”
As if he was venting his anger, Zhao Gongming also made a bid.
To be honest, this price was already a little difficult for him to accept.
Even if the final deal was really done, it would still be a bone-breaking auction for the Zhao clan. However, he had hesitated a little before which resulted in the high price!
“150,000 spirit stones!”
Bai Wuheng finally came off the stage, and one could only hear him easily announce a price that was difficult for the others to accept and bear!
Helplessly sitting back, Zhao Gongming simply gave up on this auction!
Looking at Bai Wuheng’s side profile, his eyes were filled with resentment. No one knew what he was thinking about.
Bai Wuheng turned his head to look in the direction of the mysterious person who had bought the Dao-seeking Stone. He saw that his head was lowered, and his expression could not be seen clearly.
‘Just treat it as if you have already given up. It’s a wise choice! If you continue to compete with me, you will not have the slightest chance of winning!’ Bai Wuheng thought proudly.
“200,000 spirit stones!”
In the auction venue, a number that caused everyone to feel suffocated suddenly burst out from a corner. That was the position of the itinerant cultivators who had come from other places!
The voice of this person that seemed to have descended from heaven caused the entire temporary auction venue to become quiet. Even a drop of a needle could be heard.
Everyone’s eyes widened as they looked in the direction of the voice, searching for the owner of the voice.
Finally, they found it!
Sitting in the corner was an adventurer dressed in rags. The total value of his entire body might not even exceed one spirit stone!
In the eyes of the others in Lin City, this person might not even be as well-dressed as them. Where did he get the confidence to dare to raise such a price?
“Brother, don’t randomly raise the price. If you can’t afford it, the auction house can punish you…”
Someone beside him wanted to persuade him, but the next moment, a mocking voice sounded.
“I’ve lived in Lin City for more than forty years since I was young, but I’ve never seen anyone so arrogant as to dare to cause trouble in a temporary auction house!”
“Someone! Where are the auction house’s guards? Send this ungrateful fellow out!”
“Could it be that the Lin auction house has declined as well? They don’t even have the ability to judge the spending power of their customers?”
Bai Wuheng adjusted the clothes on his chest, pointed at the person who spoke in disdain, and shouted at Miao Qing who was on the auction stage.
“What if someone randomly bids and disrupts the order of the auction?”
Lin Mo had actually been watching from below the stage the entire time. After seeing the situation on the stage, he was not sure if this person had that many spirit stones on him, so he hurriedly asked, “Don’t worry, host! After the system’s examination, he indeed didn’t have enough spirit stones on him. However, he had brought along other items with him, and the value of those items definitely exceeded the price he had bid!”
After receiving an affirmative answer, Lin Mo gave Miao Qing a look of affirmation.
“Our Lin clan’s auction house is willing to trust this friend for once. Since he was able to shout out a price, he definitely had sufficient capital.”
“Master Bai Wuheng! Please don’t disturb the order of the auction house!” Miao Qing said righteously to Bai Wuheng.
“What?! You dare to speak to me like that?”
“Who do you think you are? You’re just a lackey, yet you’re rebelling against the heavens…” Bai Wuheng rolled up his sleeves and shouted angrily, but before he could finish his words, Miao Qing continued the bid.
“200,000 spirit stones once!”
Miao Qing ignored him and continued to maintain the auction as usual.
“200,000 spirit stones twice!”
At this moment, Bai Wuheng completely lost the mood to bid. He only saw him silently turning his head at this time.
He suddenly said a few words to a person beside him, then that person quickly ran out of the side door of the auction house. A sinister smile hung on Bai Wuheng’s face as he stared at the shabby-looking adventurer.
“200,000 spirit stones thrice! The item is officially sold!”
[ Ding! Congratulations to host for successfully auctioning the Autumn Frost Sword Technique! ]
[ Successfully triggered five thousand times profit! ]
[ Obtained eighth-level sword technique, Four Seasons Sword Technique! ]
“This result doesn’t seem to be unacceptable!”
Although Qi Yueheng did not obtain the Autumn Frost Sword Technique, Zhao Gongming and Bai Wuheng did not obtain it either!
Qi Yueheng was the first to bid, but he was also the most open-minded at this time. As long as he did not let the other two big families in Lin City obtain such a subversive cultivation technique, it would not threaten his clan’s position. Besides that, he did not care who won the bid for the Autumn Frost Sword Technique!
The adventurer stood up and bowed to Miao Qing on the stage with an excited expression.
…
“The sixth item is now up for auction! Fifth-level herb, Bright Heart Herb!”
Seeing that the auction was over, Miao Qing continued to auction the next item.
“What?! It’s Bright Heart Herb?”
“Hey, Second Brother, hurry up and send some spirit stones over. Yes, send them to the Lin auction house. I need them urgently!”
“Looks like I came to the right auction today!”
“My little grandson, you’re saved, sob sob sob…”
…
After clearly hearing the name of the item that was about to be auctioned, everyone present was a little emotional at the moment.
Bright Heart Herb had the effect of allowing a cultivator to maintain a clear spiritual stage when they were about to enter a state of qi deviation, protecting their dao foundation from being damaged.
The inner demons of the cultivator’s world were everywhere, and once faced with them, even if the cultivator was lucky enough not to die, he or she would be injured!
If one said that ordinary cultivation was like sailing against the current, then experiencing the inner demons was roughly equivalent to a human jumping over a waterfall and succeeding in one attempt!
There were very few methods that could effectively prevent the invasion of the inner demons. As for the corresponding effects of the heaven and earth treasures, they were only known by their names, not their forms!
The Bright Heart Herb was precisely such a treasure!
One did not even need to consume it. One could just place it beside one’s body during cultivation. Just the aura that it emitted could greatly reduce the probability of the appearance of the inner demons.
For cultivators who had already succumbed to their inner demons, this herb could help to cure them by consuming it.
