Chapter 437: Be Mentally Prepared
The other pupils in the private room didn’t know who ‘Old Man Tian Xuan’ was, but seeing the shocked expressions of the two Headmasters and the steward, they could guess that this person was absolutely extraordinary.
“So it turns out that Young Miss is the disciple of Old Man Tian Xuan, excuse my disrespect, excuse my disrespect.” The steward’s attitude carried a little curry favour with.
Who was Old Man Tian Xuan but the top powerhouse on the Continent who had made a name himself a century ago.
On Tian’ling Continent, the person who used to shock the entire world had rarely appeared in the past century, but the steward had still heard of his deeds.
“Steward is too polite. Then how many Spiritual Stones can I sell these two Spiritual Items for?” Lou Mu Yan said with a calm smile, making her identity even more mysterious.
The steward pondered for a moment then said: “Young Miss, the value of these two Spiritual Stones is too great, and I can’t decide with my authority. Please wait a moment Young Miss as I need to report it to above.”
“Alright. Do you want both of these Spiritual Items?” Lou Mu Yan paused, then said: “If you decide to buy them, then I’ll start bidding for the blood essence of the descendant of a Heavenly Phoenix.”
“Yes, we naturally want these kinds of Spiritual Items in Tian’yuan City.”
The steward patted his chest and assured, “Young Miss, feel free to bid, your two Spiritual Item’s value is estimated to be around ninety million Spiritual Stones. It shouldn’t be a problem to win the blood essence of the descendent of a Heavenly Phoenix.”
What a joke, their Tian’yuan City couldn’t afford to offend a disciple of Old Man Tian Xuan,
He didn’t doubt Lou Mu Yan’s words. The two Headmasters here were from the Eight Extremes Set, and Old Man Tian Xuan was the Ancestor of the Eight Extremes Sect. It was impossible for her to lie in public, otherwise there was only a dead end for her after returning.
Moreover, the Millennium-Old Royal Jelly and the water attribute Heaven Rank Spiritual Item weren’t something that a little girl with a Sword Sovereign cultivation base could take out. If she was that one’s disciple, then it would be reasonable.
“Then I will trouble steward to take care of things.” Lou Mu Yan said with a slight smile.
After the steward left the private room, Huo Ling Long’s gaze was a little complicated but also excited and she couldn’t help but ask: “Little girl, is what you said just now true?”
“Mm. This is the token that Master gave me.” Lou Mu Yan took out a cyan token engraved with simplistic and old patterns and handed it to Huo Ling Long.
Huo Ling Long carefully took the token and scrutinised it with Headmaster Feng, then handed it back to her: “Take care of this thing. It is your blessing to be able to be a disciple under Ancestor’s door.”
Although her grandmother was also a Sword Deity, but she was much inferior to Old Man Tian Xuan. That one had a cultivation base closest to ascending to Guang’ling World.
“Pupil understands.” Lou Mu Yan put away the token.
She had some trust in Huo Ling Long, but she didn’t trust Headmaster Feng. After all, if the blood essence of the descendant of a Heavenly Phoenix was won by her, it was very useful to Sword Saint level Sword Masters.
If the two of them knew that she was Old Man Tian Xuan’s disciple, they not only wouldn’t be greedy, but they would instead protect her. This was the difference between having a background and having no background.
“Haha, I was just saying that Lou girl was very talented, but I didn’t expect you to be accepted by Ancestor as a disciple. This is truly ‘blue is made out of indigo but is more vivid than indigo’!” Headmaster Feng curbed the feelings of shock in his heart and his attitude towards Lou Mu Yan was more polite.
No wonder this girl could represent the Sect to participate in the six competitions—so she was Old Man Tian Xuan’s disciple. When this news is announced, her identity would be even more noble than that of Bai Fei Yao.
“Master asked me to participate in the competitions between the Six Major Sects as a test. The matter of accepting me as disciple has yet to spread, so I hope that Headmasters and the several Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters wouldn’t publicise it for the time being.” Lou Mu Yan said cautiously.
Headmaster Feng smiled lovingly and said: “That’s only natural.”
Then he immediately swept over all the pupils in the private room with a sharp gaze and warned: “You are all not allowed to reveal even part of what happened in this private room today.”
“Pupil obeys!” The pupils replied respectfully, all pressured by his sharp gaze.
They also derived some information from their conversation. That is, the Junior Sister who they had always looked down upon was actually the disciple of an Ancestor of the Sect, and her identity wasn’t something they could compare to.
Many ‘Hope’ pupils had exceptionally complex feelings. They sure wanted to see how this junior sister with a deep background would ‘radiate her brilliance’ during the Grand Competition of the Six Major Sects. If she couldn’t even obtain a ranking then that would be fun.
But they also put away the thoughts of going against her. She overwhelmed them simply in terms of identity.
“Many thanks to Headmasters.” Lou Mu Yan appeared grateful.
“The price is already fifty million. Are you going to chase?” Huo Ling Long asked Lou Mu Yan with smile but not quite a smile.
Lou Mu Yan played with the two Obsidian Fluorites in her hand, raised her eyes then said: “No hurry, I’ll wait until seventy million before bidding.”
“How about I bid for you?” Huo Ling Long thought about it then asked.
Lou Mu Yan smiled knowingly, “Sure, I’ll trouble Headmaster!”
Her heart warmed. Huo Ling Long was probably afraid that she would be targeted after bidding?
However, since the other party had this kind of intention, then she naturally wouldn’t reject it. It was better to cause less trouble before the competitions of the Six Major Sects.
When the price broke through seventy million, the number of bidders on the scene gradually decreased and in the end, only two people competed.
“Seventy-five million.” Huo Ling Long’s lazy voice sounded.
Among the two people who bid, there was a Headmaster of the Vast Mountain Sect and his heart fell when he heard Huo Ling Long suddenly come out to disrupt the situation.
“Eighty million.” He gritted his teeth and bid.
A hoarse voice came from another private room, “Eighty-one million.”
“Eighty-five million.” Huo Ling Long bid according to the price Lou Mu Yan said.
“Huo Ling Long don’t go too far.” The Headmaster of the Vast Mountain Sect couldn’t resist but say with a bit if anger when he heard the price.
Every time, this demoness just couldn’t get along with their Vast Mountain Sect. Forgetting about before, but today, the blood essence of the descendent of a Heavenly Phoenix was very important to him
“How’s lao’niang going too far? You damned old man, it’s truly a dog can’t spit out ivory.”
Huo Ling Long sneered, then turned to Old Mu and asked: “Old Mu, am I too much just by bidding?”
Old Mu was stunned for a while. Who knew that this demoness would drag him in, but he was very happy that Huo Ling Long came to disrupt the situation.
“Headmaster Huo bidding isn’t too much and Headmaster Li shouldn’t interfere.” Old Mu looked at Vast Mountain Sect’s private room with a bit of warning.
“Humph. Ninety million.” Headmaster Li of the Vast Mountain Sect shouted his bottom price through gritted teeth.
“Ninety-one million.” Huo Ling Long continued.
Headmaster Li almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He said grimly: “Huo Ling Long, you’re vicious.”
“Whether lao’niang is vicious or not, is it up to you?” Huo Ling Long sneered.
“Ninety-five million.” The hoarse voice continued.
Huo Ling Long furrowed her brows then looked at Lou Mu Yan. Seeing her nod, she continued: “Ninety-six million.”
After the price was called, the hoarse voice didn’t sound again.
With a smile, Old Mu routinely asked once, then announced: “The blood essence of the descendent of a Heavenly Phoenix is on by Headmaster Huo with the price of ninety-six million Low Quality Spiritual Stones.”
Many Sword Saints present were exceptionally angry and secretly scolded that demoness Huo Ling Long, countless times, but couldn’t do anything about her.
Whether it was combat power or background, Huo Ling Long was one of the leaders among the Sword Saint level powerhouses.
Old Mu then said a few words and announced the end of the auction.
“Lou girl, although it was the price I bid just now, but it’s not unlikely that someone would use other means to find out that the real buyer is you, so you should mentally prepare yourself.” Huo Ling Long sighed and reminded.
This girl was exceptionally talented, but it wasn’t a good thing to he so brilliant right now.
