21: Just crazy~

“Two hundred thousand Spirit Stones?”

“What’s this guy’s background?”

Astonished!

If the one hundred thousand Spirit Stones for the Xuanhuang Elephant Jade Tusk had merely surprised the people present,

then the appearance of two hundred thousand Spirit Stones caused even Prodigy Disciples of esteemed status like Lu Shaojie, Qi Chunshan, and Zhu Zi to feel a tremor.

“One hundred thousand before, now two hundred thousand, that’s a total of three hundred thousand Spirit Stones!”

“Three hundred thousand Spirit Stones! In the entire Tianyi Sect, besides the Sect Master and the Elders, I doubt many people could be so extravagant, right?”

Tong Shuyao sat in the front row of the auction house, her beautiful eyes, as they looked at Chen Qingfeng, filled with disbelief.

Just now, she had thought this Qi Refining realm Disciple was merely a Junior Brother who had come to catch a glimpse of their beauty.

But she hadn’t expected...

This guy was so rich.

She just didn’t know if he was truly rich or just pretending.

“Indeed, Disciples in the entire Tianyi Sect who can produce three hundred thousand Spirit Stones are few and far between. His face is unfamiliar, and he doesn’t seem to be a direct Disciple of any Peak Master. Nine times out of ten, he’s deliberately disrupting the auction order to draw attention.”

After all,

such phenomena were not uncommon in past auction houses.

Some Disciples, in order to gain the admiration of a beloved Senior Sister or Junior Sister, would deliberately make random bids, hoping to impress them. The penalty was merely the loss of a five thousand Spirit Stone deposit.

Such a possibility occurred frequently.

“Then he really is quite boring…”

“Ding—”

“Tong Shuyao’s Affection Value -10. Given that you have not yet received the cultivation return from Tong Shuyao’s deceased husband, this cultivation will not be reduced!”

“Ding—”

“Yin Rushuang’s Affection Value -5. Given that you have not yet received the cultivation return from Yin Rushuang’s deceased husband, this cultivation will not be reduced!”

As soon as the prompt sounded,

Chen Qingfeng was instantly dumbfounded.

What the hell?

Are they crazy?

He was making his bid, what business was it of theirs?

He just wanted to refine a jade ornament and make a dress for his Master’s wife, and they actually decreased their Affection Value?

“System, can I unbind?”

“Once bound, it cannot be unbound!”

“What if they kick the bucket?”

“System: ???”

“Junior Martial Nephew, are you sure you are bidding two hundred thousand?”

In the auction house,

the Elder in charge, standing in the central position, couldn’t help but look in Chen Qingfeng’s direction, confirming again and again.

Three hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

This was no small sum.

Even as an Elder in charge of the Trading Hall, he had to think it over carefully.

But this Qi Refining realm Disciple showed no hesitation at all.

This made it very hard not to be suspicious.

“Stop babbling, here are three hundred thousand Spirit Stones!”

Chen Qingfeng smiled.

Who are you looking down on?

With a flick of his hand, he directly tossed out a Storage Pouch with ten times the space, throwing it towards the Elder in charge in the center of the auction house.

The Elder took it and looked...

Good heavens!

It’s really there!

In an instant,

a variety of complex expressions flashed across the Elder in charge’s face, and his gaze towards Chen Qingfeng changed instantly.

Although he didn’t recognize this Disciple,

anyone who could casually produce three hundred thousand Spirit Stones, how could their identity be simple?

“Could he be the Sect Master’s Young Master whom I’ve never met?”

“Although his cultivation is only at Qi Refining third layer, he might have just been brought back recently…”

This explained it!

If that were truly the case, then…

It would indicate that the Sect Master doted on him greatly!

No!

That’s not right!

It’s also possible he’s the Young Master of some powerful figure, sent to Tianyi Sect for training.

But no matter what, this person’s identity was extraordinary, and he should not be easily offended.

“Junior Martial Nephew truly has great courage!”

“May I ask everyone present, my Junior Martial Nephew has bid two hundred thousand Spirit Stones, is there anyone who will bid higher than him?”

“If not, then let’s proceed with the auction of the fourth item!”

The Elder in charge’s attitude changed instantly.

In fact,

it seemed he was afraid someone might snatch Chen Qingfeng’s auction item, so his speaking speed quickened a few points. Before the crowd could react, he had already made the decision and started the auction for the fourth item.

Junior Martial Nephew.

Although we’ve never met before, this Junior Martial Uncle has truly worried himself sick for you!

“He wasn’t just making random bids?”

“He really has three hundred thousand Spirit Stones?”

“This… how is that possible!”

“Among the countless Disciples of the entire Tianyi Sect, those who can produce three hundred thousand Spirit Stones are few and far between, almost all of them are the most popular Prodigies of the Sect. This person…”

“Where did he come from?”

“Ding—”

“Su Meier’s Affection Value +5!”

“Ding—”

“Yin Rushuang’s Affection Value +5!”

“Ding—”

“Tong Shuyao’s Affection Value +5!”

Indeed.

Having money is good.

Even in this world of cultivation, it’s no exception.

“The fourth auction item!”

“A thousand-year-old liuli flower, which can be used to refine various Advanced Medicinal Pills. Its uses and preciousness, I’m sure everyone here has heard of.”

“Since that’s the case, I won’t elaborate further and will directly begin the auction!”

“The starting price for this item is: twenty thousand Spirit Stones!!!”

As soon as the words fell,

the entire auction house instantly stirred.

Disciples who had never bid before began to call out their prices.

“Thirty thousand Spirit Stones!”

“Forty thousand Spirit Stones!”

“Fifty thousand Spirit Stones!”

“Sixty thousand!”

“Sixty-five thousand Spirit Stones!”

“Seventy thousand!”

“Seventy-five thousand Spirit Stones!”

“One hundred thousand!”

“One hundred thousand and one thousand Spirit Stones!”

“???”

“One hundred thousand and five thousand Spirit Stones!”

“One hundred and twenty thousand!”

“One hundred and fifty thousand!”

In a brief moment,

the bidding for the liuli flower was instantly driven up to one hundred and fifty thousand Spirit Stones.

The number of bidders began to decrease.

And it was no longer as intense as at the beginning.

After several breaths of silence, finally, Yin Rushuang made her move.

“Two hundred thousand Spirit Stones!”

And with Yin Rushuang’s bid,

Su Meier, not to be outdone, immediately spoke up:

“Two hundred and twenty thousand Spirit Stones!”

“Two hundred and thirty thousand!”

“Two hundred and forty thousand Spirit Stones!”

“Two hundred and fifty thousand Spirit Stones!”

“Senior Sisters, it seems there are only two of you left on the field. It’s so boring with just the two of you. Add me in, three hundred thousand Spirit Stones!”

Instantly,

as a wild and arrogant mocking voice rang out,

not far from the two, Lu Shaojie finally spoke.

Three hundred thousand Spirit Stones!

Again, three hundred thousand Spirit Stones!

Such a price, let alone actually paying it, just thinking about it made people stop in their tracks.

Indeed.

Under the bid of this huge sum of three hundred thousand Spirit Stones, the expressions of both Yin Rushuang and Su Meier couldn’t help but change.

They had anticipated that the bidding for the liuli flower would be fierce, but they hadn’t expected it to be *this* fierce.

“Three hundred… and one thousand Spirit Stones!”

Yin Rushuang gritted her teeth, biting the bullet and adding another ten thousand!

This was almost her absolute maximum.

In fact,

to prepare for the liuli flower auction, she had previously sold several of her Magical Artifacts, only stopping short of selling her Natal Magical Artifact.

“Three hundred and twenty thousand Spirit Stones!”

Su Meier followed closely, also with a look of determination.

“Four hundred thousand Spirit Stones!”

Lu Shaojie chuckled faintly, indeed standing up, his eyes directly looking towards where Su Meier and Yin Rushuang were, and provocatively said:

“Senior Sisters, I advise you to stop now. It’s not that I look down on you, but my Eight Treasures Peak primarily focuses on Alchemy. Everyone here is a Cultivator, so you must all know how wealthy Alchemists are!”

“Let alone you two, even if your Master were here, exhausting all the Spirit Stones of Dayan Peak and Shuangshen Peak, you still wouldn’t be able to compete with me!”

“The one thing I, Lu Shaojie, have in abundance is Spirit Stones!”

Arrogant!

This was the foundation of Eight Treasures Peak!

The arrogance of Eight Treasures Peak’s first and second generations!

“I bid five hundred thousand Spirit Stones!!!”

Suddenly,

a low voice abruptly rang out.

From the same direction.

The same location.

The same person…
