Chapter 430: Buying It For My Spirit Pet
The cyan-clothed elderly man walked onto the auction stage, and the hall that was originally still noisy instantly became quiet.
“This old man is the auctioneer of this Tian’yuan Auction. You can call me Old Mu.” The cyan-clothed elderly man appeared gentle and warm, like an elderly man filled with love.
However, many people present knew that this seemingly harmless elderly man on stage acted according to his feelings and was even rather ruthless.
“The Tian’yuan Auction was originally held every five years, but due to some special circumstances, it was scheduled ahead of time. I believe this is also what everyone is looking forward to.
“This old man won’t say more. The auction will start now.” After Old Mu finished succinctly, he shot a burst of Elemental Energy to the middle of the auction stage.
One saw that a crystal column slowly rose from the centre of the auction stage and there was a jade slip exuding an aura of primitive simplicity.
“This is a volume of Heaven Rank Body Refining Method. One only requires the blood of Demonic Beasts to assist in body tempering cultivation. After perfecting it, the body is comparable to a Tier 9 Demonic Beast.”
Old Mu smiled and said: “I believe that I don’t need to say more and everyone already knows the value of this method. What has always been lacking on Tian’ling Continent are Body Refining Methods. Something that is this complete, and with the Body Refining Method being so easy to begin, it is rare, so fellow Daoists must not miss it.”
Seeing the people below staring at the jade slip on the crystal column with fiery eyes, Old Mu smiled with satisfaction and continued: “The starting price for this volume of Heaven Rank Body Refinement Method is fifty thousand Low-Quality Spiritual Stones, the lowest increase is one thousand Spiritual Stones, the auction begins.”
As soon as his voice fell, the entire auction hall resounded with loud call for bids.
“One hundred thousand Spiritual Stones.”
“Two hundred thousand.”
“…”
When it reached seven hundred thousand Spiritual Stones, many people silenced, but the price still continued to soar.
“Nine hundred thousand.” Huo Ling Long called.
“Nine hundred and ten thousand.” The private room opposite shouted.
“One million.” Huo Ling Long’s lazy voice came out.
“One million and ten thousand.” The voice on the other side sounded as if they were gritting their teeth.
“One million and two hundred thousand.” Huo Ling Long continued calling without even blinking.
“One million two hundred and ten thousand.” The voice on the other side was filled with anger.
Just as everyone was waiting for Huo Ling Long to continue to bid, she stopped.
After Old Mu announced the transaction of one million two hundred and ten thousand, a gloomy voice came from the private room opposite.
“Huo Ling Long, you’re good.”
Huo Ling Long chuckled lightly, pressed the button on the table and said: “Thank you for the compliment! But the way you bid, you old thing, sure is too stingy. Bidding by ten thousands, boring!”
“…” The people present couldn’t resist twitching the corners of their lips—but there wasn’t anything wrong with bidding prices ten thousand by ten thousand! If everyone was like her, increasing prices by one hundred thousand each time, who would be able to handle that!
“Huo Ling Long, don’t be arrogant.”
“So what if lao’niang is arrogant!”
Everyone present now understood. Huo Ling Long deliberately raised the price against the other party. Naturally, Old Mu wouldn’t blame her for doing it, he’d rather she come out to be a disturbance.
When the people in several other private rooms and many people below heard the three words ‘Huo Ling Long’, they couldn’t help but feel their head go numb.
This demon woman actually came. Who knew what stuff would happen this time.
“Alright, let’s take a look at the second auction item.” Old Mu stood out in time to stop the conflict between the two.
After the bidding just now, Headmaster Feng’s grim expression was much better, “Huo Ling Long, Hao Shan old man was cheated last time by Ao Rong, and this time, you made him pay an extra three hundred thousand more Spiritual Stones to win that Body Refining Method, I wonder if that old fellow would vomit blood in anger.”
“It’s naturally impossible for the Vast Mountain Sect to let go of such a Body Refining Method.” Huo Ling Long said with a smile: “It’s good for your health to vomit some blood, I’m also helping him.”
“…” Headmaster Feng coughed drily in speechlessness. This woman really was shameless, but only this female tyrant dragon dared to so blatantly cheat the Headmasters and Elders of the other Sects.
The following auction items were auctioned off one by one, and not only were the items high grade, but even the prices paid were terrifyingly high.
“The next auction item is a wind attribute Spar that was condensed in the Dark Wind Canyon, one of the Ten Treacherous Zones, for thousands of years. The Spar contains a strong wind attribute energy, and according to the high-level appraisers of our Tian’yuan City, the wind attribute energy within already gives it the ability to be a Comprehension Stone.
“If a Sword Master with the wind attribute Elemental Energy refined the wind attribute within, their wind attribute Elemental Energy has hope of advancing a level. Such a spar is naturally formed, exceptionally precious, and rare to meet in thousands of years.”
The Sword Masters with the wind attribute in the entire auction house were staring at the fist-sized stone with cyan ripples placed on a tray on the crystal pillar.
Lou Mu Yan’s eyes lit up. Her Wind Elemental Energy attribute entered the Understanding Realm because of the last battle with Di Shi Tian, but she didn’t improve at all after that.
This wind comprehension spar that was condensed for thousands of years was of great benefit to her, and she had to win it no matter what.
Not only did Lou Mu Yan’s eyes lit up, but also the pupils who sat here with the wind attribute element. Even the eyes of Bing Ji, who stood on Lou Mu Yan’s shoulder, revealed desire.
“That wind attribute Comprehension Stone contains a few traces of wind essence. It’s very helpful for you and Bing Ji to comprehend the wind attribute element.” Mo Yan’s voice also sounded in Lou Mu Yan’s mind.
The edge of Lou Mu Yan’s lips raised in an arc. Mo Yan looked at spiritual items of Heaven and earth with sharp, discerning eyes. The Sword Master who took out this wind attribute spar shouldn’t have discovered the wind essence in it, otherwise Old Mu wouldn’t have not mentioned it.
“I wonder if anyone else here can see that wind essence is hidden in it.” Lou Mu Yan and Mo Yan communicated in their Sea of Consciousness.
“When those slivers of wind essence were formed, they were covered by the wind attribute energy in the Spar, so others shouldn’t be able to see it.”
Mo Yan paused, then said: “But even if no one can notice the wind essence inside, this kind of Comprehension Stone is extremely precious, and the price definitely wouldn’t be low.”
“What could you do even if the price is high, I’m definitely going to win this spar.”
Old Mu noticed that the emotions of many people below had been stimulated, then he opened his mouth and said slowly: “The starting price of this wind attribute Comprehension Stone is at one hundred thousand Low-Quality Spiritual Stones, and the lowest price increase is ten thousand.”
“Five hundred thousand.” As soon as his voice fell, someone couldn’t hold it in and shouted.
“Eight hundred thousand.”
“One million.”
“…” The heat of bidding didn’t drop at all, and the price was quickly pushed up by someone to one million five hundred thousand.
Lou Mu Yan noticed that the voices in the hall were gradually decreasing, then she pressed the button on the chair and bid a price, “One million eight hundred thousand.”
Hearing her bid, the people in the Eight Extremes Sect’s private room, including the two Headmasters, were shocked.
“Junior Sister Lou, can you comprehend the wind element?” Jian Yang asked in a whisper in shock.
Lou Mu Yan pointed at Bing Ji on her shoulder with a helpless expression, “I’m buying it for my Spirit Pet.”
“…” Was being this extravagant necessary just to buy something for a Spirit Pet? That’s one million eight hundred thousand Spiritual Stones!
But before the pupils in the private room responded, a clear female voice sounded from the private room beside the Vast Mountain Sect.
“Two million.”
