Chapter 695: Fawn Over

A clamor was heard below the high platform. Some were surprised, some were regretful, and some were quiet, but they cast extremely different looks at Mao Jainbi and Ou Yangming as compared to before.

Bear Li suddenly laughed out loud and asked, “Lil’ friend, the Bears have many treasures too. Would you like to take a look at them?”

It initially wanted to find several unique items among the things that were going to be auctioned, but it changed its mind after it saw the flying carpet.

Although it could not fight with Mao Jianbi here, if there was a second opportunity, it would not miss it.

Ou Yangming nodded at Bear Li and responded, “Senior, thanks for your invitation. Once the meet is over, I’ll go and visit you.”

Bear Li laughed and nodded. “Okay, I’ll be waiting for you.”

Normally, anyone that said something like that probably had a bad intention. Nonetheless, everyone knew as long as Ou Yangming stayed at the Beast King Sect, he would unlikely be in danger because even a top-grade spirit beast would not dare to run amok here.

Ou Yangming turned around and cupped his hands at Mao Jianbi. “Thank you.”

He later took a few steps back to leave the flying carpet, then he approached the Interspatial Spiritual Tree and waved his hand to keep it.

After seeing what he did, the faces of Liu Xiangrong and Gao Yi, who were still somewhat displeased, could not help but change. They looked at Ou Yangming with respect and dared not say anything else.

The Interspatial Spiritual Tree was not as enormous as the Wutong Tree as it was still a young tree, but it’s a small tree, after all. It was as wide as an adult person’s thigh, and it was about 7 to 8 meters tall.

There were interspatial bags that could store such a tree, but they were all incredibly precious.

At the very least, according to the strengths of Liu Xiangrong’s clan and Gao Yi’s sect, they only had 1 or 2 of such an interspatial bag. Moreover, they were publicly used in their clan and sect, where they could not be anyhow taken away.

One that possessed such an interspatial bag was either mighty and unrestrained or had a powerful background that nobody would dare to offend.

Be it the former or the latter, Ou Yangming was not someone that those forces could mess with.

Mao Jianbi nodded. He was not surprised by Ou Yangming’s trick.

The young fellow not only possessed the Venerable One’s jade pendant, but he could also smith a flying carpet. Given that such an unbelievable thing happened, it seemed reasonable for him to have a large interspatial bag too.

Ou Yangming turned around and left as everyone else watched.

Unlike when he was still on the high platform, nobody dared to underestimate him anymore.

Tian Yinghao squeezed his way past the crowd to get to Ou Yangming. He remarked softly, “Brother Ou, you’re truly… Amazing!” He had flushed long ago. Even though he had done his best to overestimate the young fellow, the second the flying carpet rose into the sky, he still felt like he had been blind.

It turned out that Ou Yangming was such a potent blacksmith that could smith a piece of flight equipment.

Ou Yangming grinned and replied to him, “It’s nothing. Let’s continue to watch.”

When he said the same thing but at a different time, the effect was entirely different.

Before this, Tian Yinghao respected Ou Yangming very much too but during their interaction, he slightly criticized the young fellow for not being familiar with the smithing foundation. Nevertheless, Tian Yinghao admired Ou Yangming’s smithing art very much.

‘Being able to refine interspatial bags and flying carpets…

‘Okay, he seems like he doesn’t do honest work, but his skills are legitimate.

‘At the end of the day, several blacksmiths in Danzhou can refine interspatial bags, but I’ve never heard of anyone that can refine flying carpets.’

Mao Jianbi continued to host the auction, whereas Ou Yangming kept a low profile. Even so, the crowd around him had unknowingly lowered their voices as though they were afraid of disturbing him. Furthermore, they also subconsciously backed away and made space around the young fellow.

Some beings were treated the same way on the spacious square. For instance, the ferocious Bear Li, whom nobody dared to get close to.

However, this was just the beginning. As time passed, more people and beasts turned to look at Ou Yangming.

The powerhouses slowly inched toward Ou Yangming’s spot either intentionally or unintentionally. They hide their intentions very well as if they were being unmindful. Despite that, when many supreme powerhouses were doing almost the same thing, they could not try to hide it anymore.

Soon enough, small circles were formed around Ou Yangming, and they were formed by real supreme powerhouses. The auras that they released were so fearsome that anyone would shudder with fear.

When they began to get closer to Ou Yangming, the crowd around him was also unknowingly pushed outside.

It was not their intention, but they simply wanted to stay away when the fierce auras appeared. By the time they realized what was going on, they noticed that they had gone quite far away from Ou Yangming.

Their original spots were overtaken by the most formidable beings in the square.

On the high platform, Mao Jianbi glanced in Ou Yangming’s direction half-intentionally, but he continued to host the auction without saying a word. This was because he had perceived the thoughts of those powerhouses around the young fellow, but he also believed that the fellow would not really be in danger here.

“This is a piece of equipment that was handed down from ancient times.” Mao Jianbi pointed at the crystal wall behind him, where a shield’s image appeared. The shield glowed in a faint blue light, and layers of circles could be seen on its surface as though waves were circulating, making it look too beautiful to be appreciated.

Ou Yangming stared at it. For some reason, his head thudded hard.

He wanted to get the shield, even if it was just for study.

“This shield’s reserve price is 500 spirit ores. You may begin to bid now,” Mao Jianbi announced proudly with his hands behind his back.

“600 spirit ores.”

Another voice was heard as soon as the great elder was finished.

Everyone else was stunned. According to the rules, unless there were unique treasures such as the Interspatial Spiritual Tree, which was immeasurable and must be traded with something else, bidders would bid in secret using their panels. One that shouted one’s bid like that would be considered having broken the would and could easily be driven out by the Beast King Sect.

Having said that, most of the people had strange looks on their faces when they saw who it was.

It was Ou Yangming—the young fellow that bagged the Interspatial Spiritual Tree and rode a flying carpet with Mao Jianbi.

Mao Jianbi was also dumbfounded. He would have sternly kicked that person out of here if it was someone else, but he laughed and said after a brief moment, “Okay, 600 spirit ores.” He looked around and asked, “This is considered a high bid, and it’s Lil’ Friend Ou’s first time bidding. Does anyone have any opinion?”

The crowd cursed internally after they heard him.

‘What do you mean that it’s his first time bidding? Wasn’t the Interspatial Spiritual Tree something?’

‘You quite absurd to be saying something like that as the host of an auction.’

Everyone else was displeased, but they could sense the threat behind Mao Jianbi’s words. Even if anyone wanted to raise the bid, they gave up on the thought when they saw the great elder pulling a long face.

“Heh, Brother Mao, you’re finally talking like a human.” Bear Li burst out laughing all of a sudden. “I also think that it’s a high price.”

Mao Jianbi furrowed his eyebrows and thought, “What did this black bear mean? Talking like a human? Hmph…’

The bear’s words were not pleasant to his ear, but it agreed to him, hence it could not vent his anger.

“You’re right, it’s a great price.”

“I think so too.”

Following that, several voices were heard one after another. When the others saw the strange or familiar faces and sensed their frightening auras, they shrieked and made even more space for them.

There were not many of them that spoke, but each of them had a notable status. In terms of their auras alone, they were top-grade Spiritualists.

Even if there was only one of them, one must not be underestimated at all. Given that so many of them joined hands, a significant sensation was stirred up.

Mao Jianbi laughed out loud and said, “Okay, since nobody’s raising the bid, this item belongs to Lil’ Friend Ou.” He reached out and clapped his hands, then someone carried a basket up to the platform. The basket carried the small round shield as shown in the image on the crystal wall.

Some people stared hatefully at the sheld.

It was an ancient piece of equipment. Not to mention its value, even if it was displayed in one’s house as a collection, it would be wonderful.

The only thing was that those that could bid for the small round shield were capable beings. After seeing so many top-grade Spiritualists supporting Ou Yangming, the others dared not play any tricks though they were not convinced by the outcome.

When Mao Jianbi reached out his hand to push the basket, it flew toward Ou Yangming as if it was carried by a pair of invisible hands.

Ou Yangming accepted the basket but was dazed for a moment.

According to the rules, even if one won the bid for an item, one could not inspect the item on the spot. Besides, the young fellow had not given the spirit ores yet.

That said, when he looked around him, he realized that the crowd looked calm as if they had no doubts about Mao Jianbi’s exception.

Ou Yangming smiled bitterly and picked up the shield.

Mao Jianbi continued to auction the next item, but he did not have the patience to listen anymore.

The young fellow scanned the shield and released his mental conception on it.
