43: Chapter 43 Escape

Yun Ming did not expect this person to be so blunt, opening his mouth to directly demand that he hand over the foundation establishment pill.

"I thought you would have some novel way to make me hand over the foundation establishment pill. I didn't expect you to just resort to robbery."

The person who spoke sneered, "If you are sensible, hand it over promptly."

Yun Ming spread his hands: "If I don't hand it over, what can you do?"

At this moment, a familiar voice came over—it was the person who had been mocking him from the partition earlier. "The families present all have at least one Foundation Establishment Cultivator. You are alone; do you dare to make an enemy of all of us?"

Yun Ming finally saw this person; he was average-looking but had a contemptuous and arrogant gaze.

"It's you, this dog, again." Yun Ming sighed at how small the world was.

Hearing Yun Ming call him a dog again, he wished he could rush up and tear Yun Ming into ten thousand pieces right now, but the person beside him held him back.

"Fellow Daoist, there was much offense given just now at the auction, but this foundation establishment pill is very important to my Yan Family. I hope you can part with it."

Yun Ming raised an eyebrow and said playfully: "This foundation establishment pill cost me 650,000. How much are you offering?"

The man's expression changed, and he muttered awkwardly: "Th-this, um..."

"Wow, you're trying to get something for nothing. I thought you were more reliable than the person next to you. Damn, what a pair of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix." Yun Ming used an exaggerated tone, causing the people around them to laugh out loud.

"The Yan Family is nothing much. Our Qi Family is willing to pay 660,000 to buy this foundation establishment pill. How about it, Fellow Daoist?"

Just because the Yan Family couldn't produce that many Spirit Stones didn't mean other families couldn't.

The corners of Yun Ming's mouth curled up slightly; things were developing in the direction he wanted.

So he quickly clapped his hands, acting as the gavel sound from the auction: "The Qi Family's first bid! Is there anyone else bidding?"

"I bid 670,000 Spirit Stones!"

"680,000!"

"700,000!"

"710,000!"

The scene suddenly spiraled out of control, with bidding voices rising one after another.

"I bid 750,000! I hope everyone will give the Wan Province Qin Family some Face!"

A rather dignified middle-aged man walked out and went right up to Yun Ming. Observing his stature and aura, he was actually a Golden Core True Person.

Yun Ming showed no fear: "Fellow Daoist, auctions must follow rules. You cannot threaten others like this."

Qin Yuan did not expect that the person in front of him would have such courage, remaining calm and composed even when facing him.

In reality, Yun Ming was scared to death. He didn't expect there to be a Golden Core True Person outside. Shouldn't he still be inside bidding for that five elements gold-condensing jade liquid or the Xuan Ying Pill? What was he doing, running out to rob a small Qi Condensation Cultivator like him for a foundation establishment pill?

But Yun Ming also knew that when you are outside, your status is defined by yourself. The more cowardly you are, the tougher the other party will be.

Moreover, they were still within the territory of the Sunset Glow Sect; even if he was a Golden Core True Person, he would not dare to make a move.

Most importantly, Yun Ming had absolute confidence in the Fuli Heaven-Concealing Record.

Qin Yuan also discovered that although he could see the person in front of him, he could not see through the black veil on his Face, let alone see his appearance through it. No matter how he probed with his Divine Sense, it had no effect.

This surprised Qin Yuan. Either this person was extremely lucky and had obtained such a veil that could conceal his aura from somewhere, or he had a master and it was bestowed by an elder.

He was more inclined towards the latter. If he were really a Loose Cultivator, he would already have Foundation Establishment cultivation; why would he still need to buy a foundation establishment pill?

These various associations made Qin Yuan dare not act rashly.

"Qin did not threaten anyone. Stating my name was only to prove that I can produce this many Spirit Stones."

Yun Ming naturally did not believe his nonsense and retorted directly: "Then why do you want others to give you Face? Is the Golden Core Stage very impressive?"

Yun Ming was always shocking in his speech. As soon as these words came out, everyone around gasped, and many even took a few steps back, fearing that if Yun Ming died, his blood would splatter onto them.

Qin Yuan had not heard anyone dare to speak to him like this for a long time, and he couldn't help but look at Yun Ming with a bit more regard.

However, he was an old hand and would not be enraged by a word or two from Yun Ming. Moreover, this was on the territory of the Sunset Glow Sect; if he made a move rashly, it would easily cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

"Is the little friend's temper very irritable? Is there a problem with your Cultivation Technique? If you are willing, in addition to the 750,000 Spirit Stones, I can also give you some pointers."

Qin Yuan put on an approachable appearance, which did not match his serious exterior at all.

"No need. My Cultivation Technique is not something you can understand. Besides, is there anyone else bidding?"

Hearing Yun Ming refuse, many people felt it was a pity. This was guidance from a Golden Core True Person! In the entire Great Qian, the number of Golden Core True Persons added together did not exceed twenty, and he actually refused it.

When they heard Yun Ming ask if anyone was bidding again, no one replied. Who would dare to cross a Golden Core True Person?

Yun Ming saw that the surroundings were silent and everyone was just watching the show, so he could only sigh in secret at the missed opportunity.

But immediately, he saw the person who had mocked him earlier secretly laughing. The plan that had just been disrupted by this Golden Core True Person could still be used.

So he said: "Since this True Person has bid 750,000, I have no reason not to sell. Let's trade money for goods."

Yun Ming took out a small bottle. Qin Yuan scanned it with his Divine Sense; it was indeed the foundation establishment pill.

Qin Yuan took off a Storage Ring from his hand and manipulated it to fly in front of Yun Ming: "Inside are 500,000 Spirit Stones and some other Heaven And Earth Treasure. The total value adds up to nearly 800,000 Spirit Stones. How about it?"

Yun Ming grabbed the ring and put it on his hand. He probed with his Divine Sense to check, but found that it still had Qin Yuan's Divine Sense mark, and he couldn't open it at all.

"You won't even let me verify the goods; how do I know if there are 500,000 Spirit Stones inside?"

"Give me the foundation establishment pill first."

"Are you, a Golden Core True Person, afraid that I might run away?"

Qin Yuan frowned slightly, but thought to himself that it made sense, so he waved his hand, and the Divine Sense mark on it dissipated.

The moment it dissipated, Yun Ming threw out the small bottle containing the foundation establishment pill.

But he didn't throw it towards Qin Yuan; he threw it towards the two from the Yan Family.

"Scoundrel!" Qin Yuan slapped a palm towards Yun Ming, while one hand reached into the Void Realm to grab the foundation establishment pill.

Yun Ming naturally would not let him succeed. The High Grade Tier 3 Minor Void Realm Teleportation Talisman had already been activated. He gave the middle finger to the surroundings, and in the blink of an eye, he tore through the Void Realm and disappeared without a trace.

As for the two from the Yan Family, whether they were truly stupid or just pretending, at a time like this, they actually dared to reach out and grab the small jade bottle containing the foundation establishment pill.

But before their hands even touched it, the small jade bottle exploded directly, and a dozen Medicinal Pills flew out. Strangely, every pill that flew out had the aura of a foundation establishment pill.

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

Qin Yuan was worthy of being a Golden Core True Person; with a wave of his hand, he captured nearly half of the pills. But after all, the incident happened suddenly, and a few were still unaccounted for.

He looked at the pills in his hand, his brow furrowed into a knot, because he discovered that these pills were all starting to change slowly, turning into those spring return pills.

With a gentle squeeze of his palm, the spring return pills turned into fly ash, and then he cast his gaze towards the two from the Yan Family who were still searching everywhere for the foundation establishment pill.
