21: Chapter 21 The Auction (Part Six)

"A Foundation Establishment Stage Demonic Cultivator. The Qingyun Sect has already planted a Loyalty Talisman in him. Buying him means you possess a Foundation Establishment Stage combatant."

"The starting bid is one hundred thousand Spirit Stones. Each increment must be no less than ten thousand. Fellow Daoists..."

"One hundred thousand!" Xiao Tian spoke impatiently.

He felt that every extra moment of delay was one more moment of humiliation for the person in the iron cage.

Wan'er's smile remained unchanged as she looked toward the source of the voice.

Upon seeing that the voice came from room 133, a hint of surprise flashed in Wan'er's eyes, though it was quickly masked by a smile.

"The Fellow Daoist in room 133 is certainly impatient. Let us begin the auction then."

"One hundred thousand Spirit Stones, going once. Are there any Fellow Daoists who wish to increase the bid?"

Although Wan'er was asking, her eyes were certain.

No one would increase the bid.

She sighed inwardly.

Young people are just so ignorant. It was pitiful that she actually had to sell an auction item at the base price; it was truly ruining her reputation!

It wasn't just Wan'er who was unhappy; Bai Shao on the eighth floor was too.

He had deliberately revealed that the person below was an item he had put up for auction, purely to incite competition and have them send him Spirit Stones.

At the Qingyun Sect's internal auction, thanks to his big brother's Face, he didn't even have to pay a commission; he would receive whatever amount it sold for.

He had been fantasizing about lying on a mountain of Spirit Stones and counting them, but in the end, this was it?

Bai Shao glared viciously at room 133, feeling that they were deliberately opposing him and didn't want him to earn Spirit Stones.

"Damn it! Truly damn it! Why don't they just die!"

At this moment, he was genuinely angry at his subordinates for their incompetence, allowing Luo Yunkai and his son to be such an eyesore.

"No, I have to squeeze out more Spirit Stones!" Bai Shao said, unconvinced.

Before he could bid, Bai Ji cast a streak of spiritual power to seal his mouth.

"Mmph, mmph..." Bai Shao's eyes were full of resentment as he struggled.

Bai Ji said indifferently, "I am giving you Face, and you should know to save Face for me as well."

Bai Shao felt sheepish and stopped struggling.

Bidding on an item he had brought out himself would indeed cause his big brother to lose Face.

Bai Ji's gaze was deep as he looked out the window. "Do not be anxious. What is yours will not run away."

Bai Shao: "Mmph, mmph!" I know! Let me go already, Big Brother!

Bai Ji's expression was indifferent. "A quarter of an hour; tighten your temper."

Bai Shao hung his head in dejection.

Below, the result of the "Demonic Cultivator" auction was decided.

Without a doubt, no one competed with Xiao Tian, and he successfully bid for a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator for one hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

Xiao Tian and the others were still stunned when the person was delivered to them.

He had just bought him? And no one competed?

His mind was straightforward, without too many twists and turns, so he couldn't figure out the underlying reasons at all.

He didn't trouble himself with it and readily paid the one hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

The maid who came over looked at Xiao Tian in surprise, probing with her Divine Sense again and again; he was truly a genuine Mortal.

The maid felt envious. At the same time, she felt even more strongly that the three people in room 133 were wealthy and overbearing.

"Young Master, this is the master Loyalty Talisman. As long as it is cast into his body, he will be your loyal servant alone from now on. If you want him to die, he will not live."

The maid smiled, "Would you like this servant to cast the master talisman for you now, Young Master?"

Xiao Tian waved his hand, "No need."

Seeing this, the maid hurriedly said, "The master Loyalty Talisman is very safe and absolutely harmless, Young Master, you can rest assured."

Xiao Tian frowned, "I said no need, so no need. You may leave!"

After speaking, he dragged the "Demonic Cultivator" into the room, snatched the master talisman, and then, without a shred of mercy, slammed the door shut right in front of the beautiful maid.

The maid's hand remained in mid-air, her Face full of astonishment.

Inside the room, Xiao Tian helped the "Demonic Cultivator" sit down to one side. Seeing his blood-drenched wounds, which were even worse than his own had been, he frowned deeply.

He looked up at Luo Yunkai, "Dad, can he... can he still be saved?"

Luo Yunkai nodded, "Go find that maid and get the key to the Spirit-Binding Ring. He can use his own spiritual energy to heal his wounds."

Xiao Tian wanted to go, but as soon as he took a step, the "Demonic Cultivator" tipped to the side. It was clear that someone had to be there to support him.

"I'll go." Su Xin stood up and walked to the door.

The maid was indeed still waiting outside the door. Seeing Su Xin, the smile on the maid's lips was just about to rise when she saw Su Xin reach out his hand and say coldly, "Give it here."

The maid dared not delay and respectfully handed over the Spirit-Binding Ring key. Then... "Bang!" The maid was once again ruthlessly shut outside the door.

The same cold, heartless treatment.

Su Xin went over and unlocked the Spirit-Binding Ring. Instantly, waves of Spiritual Qi surged into the body of the severely injured "Demonic Cultivator."

Xiao Tian felt the Spiritual Pressure and, feeling uncomfortable, wanted to let go and step back, but he was held back by a pair of cool hands.

Luo Yunkai's eyes narrowed instantly, a dangerous light appearing in them, and his hand holding the master talisman tightened slightly. He was not as enthusiastic as Xiao Tian, and while Su Xin had gone to get the key from the maid, he had taken the master talisman from his Cheap son.

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I will not hurt him."

Luo Yunkai did not relax because of these words; he remained vigilant.

The "Demonic Cultivator" gave a bitter smile, performed a Cleaning Spell to remove the bloodstains from Xiao Tian, and then decisively withdrew his hand.

Luo Yunkai raised an eyebrow, waved his spiritual energy to pull his Cheap son behind him, and only then did he lower his guard and sit back down.

Seeing this scene, envy flashed in Su Xin's eyes.

It took the "Demonic Cultivator" over an hour to recover from his injuries.

The auction had not stopped, but neither Luo Yunkai nor his son made any more bids; their eyes were fixed on the "Demonic Cultivator." Su Xin was the same.

"Senior, have your injuries fully recovered?" Su Xin asked with concern.

Xiao Tian and Luo Yunkai both cast surprised glances.

"My name is Ye Wang," Ye Wang looked at the three of them. "The three of you have shown me great kindness, which I, Ye Wang, will never forget. Whatever you ask of me, I will not refuse!"

As Ye Wang spoke, his eyes were fixed on Luo Yunkai. He was worried that Luo Yunkai would use the master talisman. If that were the case, he would rather die!

Luo Yunkai placed the master talisman into the System space, giving Ye Wang his initial trust.

Ye Wang's eyes lit up. "I wonder what you request, Fellow Daoist?"

Luo Yunkai: "Use all your strength to help me leave the Qingyun Sect safely, and guard me during my Foundation Establishment. That is what I request."

Ye Wang frowned, "I can use all my strength to help you leave safely, Fellow Daoist, but guarding your Foundation Establishment, is that..."

Luo Yunkai took the auctioned Medium Grade foundation establishment pill from the System space. "I can undergo Foundation Establishment at any time."

Ye Wang suddenly understood and nodded solemnly. "I agree!"

Luo Yunkai also promised, "The moment I undergo Foundation Establishment is the moment the master talisman will be destroyed."

Obtaining such an assistant for one hundred thousand Spirit Stones—it was worth it!

Ye Wang was visibly relieved. "Thank you for your understanding, Fellow Daoist."

Luo Yunkai was also visibly relieved, leaving Ye Wang feeling bewildered.

Shouldn't it be him who is nervous?

Luo Yunkai coughed dryly and gave Su Xin a look. Hurry, explain the situation, lest he slack off and we fail to escape.

Su Xin turned his Face away. Say it yourself.

Ye Wang felt something was wrong and was just about to ask when the introduction for another auction item reached his ears.

"longevity elixir."

Su Xin stood up abruptly.

Luo Yunkai coughed lightly, "Little Su, I can help you buy it."

He cast a glance at Ye Wang, the meaning obvious.

Su Xin: "..." Heh, aren't you high-profile? Why are you too embarrassed to speak after causing trouble?

"For Mother!" he told himself.

"Senior Ye, there is something you do not know..."
