137: Strange animal bones, want to be evil and eat evil

“……”

The Auctioneer took the jade, examined it carefully, and a strange look appeared in his eyes.

This jade was just an ordinary item, but the power sealed within it was very peculiar, making it difficult for him to see through.

Whoosh!

On the auction stage, a middle-aged man dressed in black robes with his eyes covered by black cloth appeared.

“Greetings, Lord Mu!”

The Auctioneer immediately bowed to the middle-aged man and handed him the jade.

This was precisely Mu Yang, the guardian of Millstone Town and a strong practitioner at the Profound Phase Realm Peak.

“……”

When the crowd saw Mu Yang appear, their expressions also became more solemn.

Mu Yang nodded slightly, took the jade, and observed it for a moment, his eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty. He immediately looked at Lin Qinghuang: “Young lady, where did you get this jade?”

The jade was just an ordinary item, but what was inside was extraordinary. It was a kind of extreme sword intent that made his heart palpitate. He had been stuck at the Profound Phase Realm Peak for many years, and if he could comprehend the sword intent within this jade, he might have a chance to transform into a dragon.

“……”

Lin Qinghuang’s eyes were indifferent, and she said nothing.

Seeing this, Mu Yang realized that his words had somewhat broken the rules. He immediately said, “The Xuan Yang Bodhi Seed is yours now, young lady.”

He waved his hand lightly, and the Bodhi Seed flew towards Lin Qinghuang.

Although the Bodhi Seed was extraordinary and could help people comprehend the Dao, Mu Yang had also studied it for a period of time without much gain. This sword talisman was more useful to him now.

Lin Qinghuang casually took the Bodhi Seed, and a sigh of relief escaped her heart. With this item in hand, the subsequent matters would be much simpler.

Everyone stared at the sword talisman in Mu Yang’s hand with surprised expressions. This sword talisman was absolutely extraordinary; otherwise, it would not have made Mu Yang show such an expression.

They then looked at Lin Qinghuang, a hint of curiosity in their eyes. What was the background of this person who could produce such an extraordinary item?

“……”

Wood Taoist, Sect Leader Yi, and Xuan You Old Monster stared at Lin Qinghuang, wondering what they were thinking.

Clearly, they would not give up on this Bodhi Seed. They dared not act in Millstone Town, but once they were outside, they could act as they pleased.

Lin Qinghuang sensed everyone’s gazes but paid them no mind, casually putting away the Bodhi Seed.

Mu Yang put away the sword talisman and flew away.

“Next, we have the seventh auctioned item, a peculiar beast bone.”

The Auctioneer clapped lightly.

The seventh auctioned item was brought up, a metal box. When the box was opened, a palm-sized black beast bone was placed inside. The beast bone was covered in runes, emanating a demonic aura that was captivating.

“Hmm?”

Xie Weilou stared at the black beast bone, a strange look appearing in his eyes. The black Demon Hand in his dantian stirred slightly, as if it had sensed a treasure.

The Auctioneer explained: “The seventh auctioned item is a peculiar beast bone, likely from some kind of demonic beast. It has mysterious runes on it. We have studied it for a period of time without any results. Now, we are putting it up for auction. The starting bid is ten century-old spirit grasses, with each increment not less than one. Of course, other items of equal value can also be traded.”

“A mere beast bone can be auctioned for ten century-old spirit grasses? Are you fleecing fat sheep?”

“Exactly! The Demonic Stone Auction House’s greed is too blatant. I suggest the starting bid for this beast bone be one spirit herb.”

“Heh heh! Are you trying to get the beast bone and deliberately lowering the price?”

Some people in the audience started to jeer, but their eyes were fixed on the beast bone.

They couldn't discern anything, but the runes on the beast bone were extremely peculiar and definitely not simple. If they could bid for it and study it, they might gain something.

The Auctioneer smiled indifferently: “Let’s begin!”

“Ten century-old spirit grasses, I’ll take it.”

“Fifteen grasses, I’ll take it.”

“Twenty grasses.”

“……”

Everyone kept shouting bids, and in the blink of an eye, the price was called up to thirty century-old spirit grasses.

They spoke of the auction house’s greed, but when it came to bidding, they were more active than anyone else.

“One millennium spirit grass.”

Yan Wugou slowly spoke.

“Ten millennium spirit grasses!”

Yan Ruyi didn’t even look, directly shouting the price. She wasn’t interested in the beast bone, but she didn’t want Yan Wugou to get it.

“I offer fifteen grasses.”

Yan Ruyu said indifferently.

The scene fell silent again. Many cultivators looked at Yan Ruyu and the others with speechless expressions, knowing they were wealthy, but was it necessary to raise the price so high? Directly raising century-old spirit grasses to millennium spirit grasses.

How many cultivators present could produce fifteen millennium spirit herbs?

Lin Qinghuang looked at Xie Weilou and saw him staring at the beast bone. She understood in her heart; it seemed Xie Weilou needed this beast bone.

After a brief thought, she was about to call out a bid.

Xie Weilou held Lin Qinghuang’s hand: “Wait a little longer.”

“……”

Lin Qinghuang nodded gently upon hearing this.

Wood Taoist and Sect Leader Yi exchanged glances. They were also somewhat interested in this beast bone.

“It’s still that Profound Manifestation Realm cultivation technique from earlier. I want this beast bone.”

Xuan You Old Monster spoke casually. The Bodhi Seed was gone, but he could just take it later. For now, he needed a beast bone to play with.

Seeing Xuan You Old Monster speak, Wood Taoist and Sect Leader Yi’s faces darkened, and they decisively gave up.

The other cultivators, seeing this, also dared not offend Xuan You Old Monster and all fell silent.

Yan Wugou expressionlessly glanced at Xuan You Old Monster, then lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking.

Lin Qinghuang looked at Xie Weilou: “What do you say?”

“……”

Xie Weilou shook his head. What was the point of an auction when interception was more direct?

Black-on-black was very necessary; it could save a lot of resources.

Lin Qinghuang seemed to know what Xie Weilou was thinking, her expression somewhat strange. This guy also planned to go black-on-black!

“Fellow Daoist Xuan You has bid a Profound Manifestation Realm cultivation technique. Is there anyone else who wishes to raise the price?”

The Auctioneer looked around at the people.

“……”

Everyone remained silent.

Seeing this, the Auctioneer mused, “Since no one is raising the price, then this beast bone belongs to Fellow Daoist Xuan You.”

Xuan You Old Monster’s smile was playful. He glanced at Lin Qinghuang again, an ignorant little girl who dared to snatch things from him? Then he would send her to hell.

“Next, the eighth auctioned item…”

The Auctioneer continued to speak.

Xie Weilou stood up and walked outside.

Lin Qinghuang also didn’t hesitate and left directly.

Some people in the auction house also quickly departed upon seeing this.

After leaving the auction house.

Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang walked on the main street.

“I’ll be the bait?”

Lin Qinghuang looked at Xie Weilou. The Bodhi Seed was in her hand, and once they left the town, Xuan You Old Monster and the others would definitely make a move.

Xie Weilou smiled indifferently: “Why be bait? You should be the hunter! Instead of waiting for others to ambush you, why don’t you take the initiative?”

“That makes sense.”

Lin Qinghuang nodded gently.

If she had come here alone tonight, it would have been difficult to return to Heavenly Awakening City with the Bodhi Seed, but with Xie Weilou by her side, things were much simpler.

She just hoped that no overly powerful experts would appear…
