80: In the future, if you can get it for free, then get it for free. If you can’t get it for free, then trade it!

After Nangong Jing called out that price, the auction hall fell into a dead silence.

However, the next moment, Duan Haoming stood up.

"This This Young Master will bid..."

"This Young Master, we don't have enough Spirit Crystals!"

Just as Duan Haoming was about to call out five million, the Red-Clothed Old Man beside him suddenly spoke.

This caused Duan Haoming's expression to stiffen.

"What did you say?!"

He remembered bringing over six million Spirit Crystals, and now, at this crucial moment, they didn't have enough Spirit Crystals?!

"This Young Master previously got into a spat with others, consuming too many Spirit Crystals."

"Leading to us now only having a little over four million eight hundred thousand Spirit Crystals..."

After hearing the Red-Clothed Old Man's words, Duan Haoming's face became uncertain.

At this time.

He either had to mortgage his other belongings or give up on the Xuanqing Snow Lotus Pill.

"Brother Duan, this Young Lord wants to cooperate with you. I wonder if Brother Duan is willing to take a risk?"

Just as Duan Haoming's eyes flickered, intending to mortgage other items, Yang Xiao's voice suddenly entered his ears.

Causing his pupils to slightly contract.

Immediately after.

After his expression changed, a cold light flashed in Duan Haoming's eyes, and he gave Nangong Jing a sinister look.

Then he sat back down in his seat.

"Is no one going to bid anymore?!"

Seeing Duan Haoming call out a bid halfway, then suddenly sit back down in his seat.

Zi Luo frowned on the stage, then asked the crowd.

"Saintess, are we not bidding?!"

Seeing the auction hall suddenly become somewhat quiet, the White-haired Old Woman from the Fox Clan asked in a low voice.

"No."

Bai Suxin shook her head upon hearing this, replying with a very solemn tone.

"This price is already close to what we can afford, and the other forces seem determined to obtain this item."

"Even if we pay the price to acquire it, once we leave the merchant guild, we will definitely become a target."

She possessed the eight-tailed tianhu bloodline, naturally sensitive to soul fluctuations.

Just as Duan Haoming gave up on bidding.

She keenly sensed that several Qi presences in the hall were focused on Nangong Jing.

And each Qi presence contained hidden killing intent!

"Is no one going to bid anymore?"

"Then four million nine hundred thousand once, four million nine hundred thousand twice, four million nine hundred thousand three times!"

"Congratulations to VIP number four for acquiring this Xuanqing Snow Lotus Pill!"

In this quiet atmosphere, Zi Luo struck the gavel, making the final decision.

Then she waved her hand to retrieve the Xuanqing Snow Lotus Pill. Such particularly valuable finale items could only be traded directly by her with the buyer after the auction ended.

"Senior Sister, we actually acquired the Xuanqing Snow Lotus Pill?!"

On VIP platform number four.

Lee Wancheen looked disbelieving, clearly not expecting this result.

Even Nangong Jing and Han Xinyue were completely stunned at this moment.

They hadn't expected this Xuanqing Snow Lotus Pill to fall into their hands so easily.

They had thought they would need over five million Spirit Crystals to successfully acquire the Xuanqing Snow Lotus Pill, but they only used four million nine hundred thousand.

"Something is off, we might have been targeted!"

Sensing several gazes sweeping over them, Nangong Jing said with a very serious expression.

"I have already notified the Elders within the sect, they will come to pick us up in a few days."

"For safety's sake, be sure to stay within the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild during these few days!"

After Nangong Jing finished speaking.

After sending a brief message using a sound transmission jade, Han Xinyue also solemnly instructed the two.

"Ladies, this This Young Master has a small request. I wonder if you can agree?"

Just as Nangong Jing and the others were feeling nervous, Xiao Chen's voice suddenly came from next door, causing Nangong Jing and the others' eyes to slightly narrow.

"What?!"

"Young Master Xiao wants to borrow the Xuanqing Snow Lotus Pill to analyze its medicinal components?!"

Upon hearing the request proposed by Xiao Chen, Nangong Jing and the others were all startled.

This was a Heaven Rank medicinal pill worth several million Spirit Crystals, how could it be casually lent to someone for analysis?!

"Don't worry, this This Young Master won't covet your medicinal pill, and will ensure it remains completely intact."

"If possible..."

"Afterwards, this This Young Master can return to the Wanhua Sect with you to help treat the old ailments of your fellow disciples and improve your cultivation techniques."

Seeing that Nangong Jing and her group were startled by these words, Xiao Chen could only try to entice them like a scumbag at this moment.

If he could get his hands on that Xuanqing Snow Lotus Pill from Nangong Jing and the others.

He could divide it into one hundred portions, then repair one fragment to restore the medicinal pill.

This way.

As long as he had enough points to consume, he could have as many Xuanqing Snow Lotus Pills as he wanted.

"Careless."

"Why did I only think of this now."

As thoughts turned in his mind, Xiao Chen slapped his forehead.

He was now an Honorary Elder of the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild.

If he could apply to Zi Luo and others to appraise spiritual items under the guise of analyzing medicinal pill components or testing the quality of items.

Couldn't he secretly swap them out and replicate a large number of heavenly materials and earthly treasures?!

He had previously been thinking of conducting legitimate transactions; it seemed he was still a bit too honest!

From now on, freeload whenever possible, and only trade when freeloading isn't an option.

He must make good use of this identity!

Having figured this out, Xiao Chen was filled with excitement.

"Since Gongzi has a need, we will naturally satisfy it!"

After a moment of silence, Han Xinyue agreed.

They all had a good impression of Xiao Chen; as long as he didn't cause any trouble, they would be willing to accommodate him.

"Next."

"Is the final item of this auction, and also the last auction item of this session."

As Xiao Chen and Han Xinyue reached an agreement, Zi Luo's voice once again echoed through the hall.

As her voice fell.

A dark iron box was carried onto the stage, and the formation light screen also lit up at this moment.

Immediately after.

Under everyone's gaze, the black iron box was slowly opened.

A section, rusty and mottled, appeared somewhat black.

It looked like a large section of a broken fire poker, and it was also displayed before everyone through the reflection of the formation.

"What is this? It looks like... a broken section of a spear shaft?!"

"To be used as the final item of the auction, could this be a fragment of some Saint Weapon?!"

Seeing this rusty and mottled black rod.

Many powerhouses in the auction hall began to guess at this moment.

"This item was discovered in a ruin by an Elder of the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild. According to the appraisal of many Elders in our merchant guild, it should be a fragment of a certain spear-type Saint Weapon."

"However, this section of the Saint Weapon fragment has been severely corroded by some kind of blood, and has lost its original spirituality."

"It is difficult to sense the aura of the Saint Weapon from it, but its material is indestructible!"

"The starting bid for this item is four million Spirit Crystals, and each bid must not be less than one hundred thousand!"

While everyone was guessing, Zi Luo explained, then struck the auction hammer.

The entire hall instantly erupted in an uproar.

"Holy crap, it really is a fragment of some Saint Weapon. I didn't expect another rare item like this!"

"But isn't this starting bid too low?!"

"In the past, any Saint Weapon fragments that appeared had a starting bid of at least ten million, and the final transaction price even reached hundreds of millions!"

"Are you stupid?!"

"The Saint Weapons auctioned in the past contained an extremely rich Saint Weapon aura, and the degree of damage did not exceed half, allowing Heavenly Human Realm powerhouses to comprehend the mysteries of the Saint Realm."

"It was only under theScramble of the major top forces that they reached a high price of hundreds of millions of Spirit Crystals."

"And this section of Saint Weapon fragment before us, not to mention it's just a small fragment, even the original Saint Weapon aura has been completely corroded away."

"This thing is at best an indestructible fire poker. Are you willing to spend tens of millions of Spirit Crystals to buy it back to stoke fires?!"

"..."

Amidst this shock.

Although everyone was discussing intensely, no one spoke to bid at this time.

After all, many people present were powerhouses from various places, they had seen more or less of the world.

It is rumored that Saint Weapons.

Possess extremely terrifying Saint Might, and even profound auras.

A wisp of aura can cause low-level martial artists to collapse mentally, and can even cause some high-level powerhouses to gain martial arts enlightenment.

But after this section of spear shaft appeared, they couldn't sense any aura at all.

This was completely different from the description of a Saint Weapon fragment, by a mile.

If it weren't for the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild always emphasizing integrity, everyone present would probably feel they had been fooled.
