"So many people?"
Ji Yaoxue looked at the dense crowd in front of her in surprise.
Even though she had long heard of Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop's reputation, she had not expected that the auction at the beginning of the month would attract so many cultivators!
"Yaoxue, you might not know this, but it's said that this auction might be the last one."
The person who spoke was dressed in spotless white robes – it was the commander of the White Hawk guards, Bai Yuhan.
The two of them had an extremely good relationship and addressed each other casually in private.
"Last one?" Ji Yaoxue was confused.
Bai Yuhan explained, "Yes, I heard that Mr. Mo will be leaving the capital after the sect competition. Those Perfected Beings Jin Dan are probably worried that they won't have another chance like this after Mr. Mo leaves. "
Pausing for a moment, Bai Yuhan swept her gaze across the crowd not far away. "Look over there. Perfected Beings Jin Dan of Iridescent Clouds Palace, Southern Mountains Sect and Azure Frost Sect are all here. I reckon that the auction this time round will be especially intense!"
Ji Yaoxue nodded. She was a little distracted and there was a hint of worry between her brows.
Bai Yuhan noticed Ji Yaoxue's odd behavior and whispered, "Why? Is there something on your mind?"
Ji Yaoxue lowered her head in silence.
"Did you quarrel with the king because of that Su Zimo?" Bai Yuhan asked again.
"Yes."
Ji Yaoxue replied without hiding anything.
A few years ago, Ji Yaoxue had told Bai Yuhan about this matter.
Bai Yuhan said, "The reason why the king asked you to retrieve this supreme-grade flying sword is probably because he wants you to get to know Mr. Mo, right?"
Ji Yaoxue nodded and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Sister Bai, what do you think?"
"Me?"
Bai Yuhan smiled. "Even though I've never met that Su Zimo, I've met Mr. Mo. I'm sure that Su Zimo can't compare to Mr. Mo. "
In the Rain Admiration Pavilion, the green-robed cultivator was neither servile nor overbearing. In the face of the pressure from True Fire Sect and the Scarlet Vulture guards, he was still calm and composed. The scene of him reversing the situation with a few words left a deep impression on Bai Yuhan.
Ji Yaoxue frowned.
Bai Yuhan said, "Yaoxue, you might not believe me when I say this, but you'll definitely be able to tell that Mr. Mo is different from the rest when you meet him."
Ji Yaoxue said faintly, "We'll see."
…
Perfected Being Cang Lang placed his hands behind his back and puffed out his chest. His gaze was cold as he led his two disciples, Si Yutang and Chen Meng Qi, towards the crowd, exuding a sharp aura.
Many people sensed something and subconsciously looked over.
Iridescent Clouds Palace was one of the five major sects. Furthermore, Perfected Being Cang Lang was a well-known ruthless character.
Although it was crowded, many cultivators still had some misgivings and opened up a path.
Before long, Perfected Being Cang Lang and the other two had already reached the front of the crowd.
In the first row, apart from Perfected Being Cang Lang and the other two, there was also Perfected Being Yun Shan of Southern Mountains Sect and his legacy disciple, Shi Jian. The last one was Perfected Being Yi Ning of Azure Frost Sect.
"I'm determined to get the supreme-grade spirit weapon this time round. Fellow Daoists, please don't fight," Perfected Being Cang Lang glanced sideways. Although his tone was calm, there was an unquestionable tone.
"Fufu."
Perfected Being Yun Shan laughed. "Cang Lang, your words are meaningless. You're determined to get it and so am I! "
Thereafter, Perfected Being Yun Shan turned around and asked, "What do you say, Fellow Daoist Yi Ning?"
"Nothing much. Since it's an auction, everyone should compete fairly. There's nothing much to say."
Perfected Being Yi Ning had prepared for a long time for the bid for the supreme-grade spirit weapon this time round as well. There was naturally no way she would leave just because of a single sentence from Perfected Being Cang Lang.
Perfected Being Cang Lang sneered and did not say anything else.
Creak!
Right then, a crack appeared on the door of Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Countless gazes landed on the door of Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop with excitement and anticipation in their eyes.
A woman darted out of the door. Her hair was yellow and curly and messy. However, she was so beautiful that one would instinctively overlook that flaw.
"Fellow Daoist Nien Qi, you're finally out."
"Fellow Daoist Nien Qi, you've become prettier again," A Perfected Being of Jin Dan said shamelessly.
"Fellow Daoist Nien Qi, it's me. Cough, cough, I'm here again."
Any cultivator who had stayed in the capital for a year or so would know that Mr. Mo would not appear for each auction and Nien Qi would always be the one hosting it.
Although Nien Qi was dressed as a maidservant and was at Foundation Establishment, none of the Perfected Being of Jin Dan present dared to underestimate her.
Nien Qi did not say anything first and pressed down with both hands.
Instantly, the initially noisy scene quietened down.
There were more than ten thousand cultivators present and more than a thousand of them were Perfected Being of Jin Dan. However, a simple gesture from the maidservant caused everyone to quieten down!
When she saw that, Shen Meng Qi's eyes revealed a look of envy.
If a maidservant possessed such capabilities, how extraordinary must her master be?
"Since there are many unfamiliar fellow Daoists here today, I'll simply repeat the rules of the auction. Bidders can collect a number from me later and prepare 30 sets of materials. The starting price is 500,000 superior-grade spirit stones and each increment must not be less than 10,000. The highest bidder wins. "
With that said, Nien Qi took out a bunch of jade badges with numbers from her storage bag and scattered them in midair.
Perfected Being Cang Lang waved his sleeves and snatched the number one badge.
Perfected Being Yun Shan obtained the number two badge and Perfected Being Yi Ning obtained the number three badge.
The other badges with numbers were taken away by the many Perfected Being of Jin Dan behind the three of them as well.
Although there were more than ten thousand people present, most of them were disciples brought here by Perfected Being Jin Dan.
The true bidders were the thousands of Perfected Being of Jin Dan present.
"Let the auction officially begin!"
The moment Nien Qi's voice was finished, someone in the crowd had already raised their paddles to bid.
In an alley not far away from the crowd, an exquisite carriage was parked.
Two women sat in the carriage. One of them was voluptuous and curvaceous, exuding a mature and seductive aura.
The other woman wore a long pink dress and had a veil covering her face. However, when she blinked her eyes, it was as though there were ripples in them that could move one's soul!
"Auntie Gu, what's the background of this Mo Ling? He's snatching away the business of Sky Treasure Auction House with a single auction," The girl in pink frowned slightly with a hint of anger and curiosity in her tone.
"I'm not sure," The mature woman addressed as Auntie Gu shook her head.
"I heard from father that he's a young man in his early twenties. Father has high praises for him and thinks highly of him," The girl in pink said in a low voice.
"Why? Even the missy of our Lust Sect is interested in him?"
Auntie Gu looked at the girl in pink with a fake smile and asked teasingly.
"Tsk."
The girl in pink pouted her lips in disdain. Raising her chin, she said confidently, "If I were to appear, all I have to do is beckon with my finger and that Mo Ling would grovel at my feet obediently!"
