When Perfected Being Cang Lang announced the high price of 2.01 million superior-grade spirit stones, there was no longer much suspense in the auction.
Even Perfected Being Yun Shan and Perfected Being Yi Ning of the five major sects could only lower their heads helplessly, let alone the cultivators of the smaller sects or itinerant cultivators.
As long as ten breaths passed and no one raised the price, the opportunity to customize a supreme-grade spirit weapon would fall on Perfected Being Cang Lang's head!
"It's basically decided."
Outside the crowd, Bai Yuhan said softly.
Ji Yaoxue nodded as well. "Yes, judging from Perfected Being Cang Lang's tone and demeanor, he should have prepared more than two million superior-grade spirit stones."
Bai Yuhan smiled and said, "Just this momentum of being determined to win is enough to overwhelm everyone. At this moment, even if someone were to raise the price, it would be difficult for them to win against him and they might even incur his wrath. It's not worth it. "
"That's right."
Ten breaths passed as the two of them conversed.
Indeed, there were more than a thousand Jin Dan Perfected Beings present but no one had the strength to raise the price!
The dust had settled.
Perfected Being Cang Lang heaved a sigh of relief.
Even if he came prepared, two million superior-grade spirit stones was not a small sum for him.
At this moment, if someone were to raise the price, he could only grit his teeth and continue bidding.
Thankfully, that did not happen.
A look of joy flashed through Perfected Being Cang Lang's narrow eyes as he smiled, unable to conceal his excitement.
In an alley not far away, Gu Xi lowered the curtains of the carriage and said softly, "Let's go back. There's nothing left to see."
"Yes, let's go," Demoness Ji nodded as well.
The coachman steered the carriage and began to turn around.
The crowd in front of Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop began to disperse as well.
Many Perfected Beings of Jin Dan were in low spirits and looked at the entrance of Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop reluctantly.
Perfected Being Cang Lang turned to look at Perfected Being Yun Shan and Perfected Being Yi Ning at the side and smiled gently. "Thank you for letting me win."
"Fellow Daoist Cang Lang is rich and imposing. Indeed, we can't compare to him. Congratulations!"
Perfected Being Yun Shan sneered and turned to leave with Shi Jian.
Perfected Being Yi Ning harrumphed softly. Although she did not say anything, she was indignant.
When he saw their expressions, Perfected Being Cang Lang chuckled in delight. Turning around, he raised his chin at Nien Qi and said, "Hey, young lady, announce the results."
Si Yutang said in a low voice, "Junior Sister, Master has won the bid. We might have a chance to meet Mr. Mo later!"
"Yes!"
Chen Meng Qi clenched her fists tightly. Her eyes revealed a trace of anticipation as she nodded.
Ever since the start of the auction, Nien Qi had not said a single word. He had been standing in front of the door with a calm expression, looking at the many Jin Dan Perfected Persons bidding below.
It was only at this moment that Nien Qi declared, "I hereby announce that the fellow daoist who has obtained the right to customize a supreme-grade spirit weapon in this auction is … No. 3!"
The crowd had already begun to disperse.
However, not long after Nien Qi's voice fell, everyone's footsteps gradually stopped. Their faces were filled with doubt, and their expressions were strange.
Number three?
Wasn't number three Adept Yi Ning from the Azure Frost Sect?
Was it a slip of the tongue, or had he misheard?
Everyone turned back instinctively.
In the alley, just as the carriage was about to leave, a soft exclamation sounded from within the carriage.
"Why is it No. 3?" A gentle voice sounded with a hint of confusion.
Outside the crowd, Ji Yaoxue and Bai Yuhan exchanged glances, somewhat stunned.
"This …"
Bai Yuhan was confused as well. Blinking her eyes, she said, "Normally speaking, the highest bidder wins. Why did it end up in No. 3's hands?"
At the door, Perfected Being Cang Lang's smile froze when he heard Nien Qi's voice.
Perfected Being Yun Shan paused in his tracks and turned around in deep thought.
Perfected Being Yi Ning froze on the spot, unable to react to the surprise that fell from the skies.
"Young lady, you must have said something wrong, right?"
Perfected Being Cang Lang frowned slightly, looking displeased.
"That's right,"
Nien Qi replied naturally.
Perfected Being Cang Lang's expression darkened as he flipped his hand to reveal his number badge, saying in a deep voice, "Look carefully, I'm No. 1! Earlier on, No. 1 bid 2.01 million superior-grade spirit stones. No. 1 bid the highest! "
"Oh,"
Nien Qi nodded. "You're right."
When he heard that, Perfected Being Cang Lang's expression softened slightly.
Unexpectedly, Nien Qi changed the topic and said seriously, "However, No. 3 is the one who obtained the rights to customize supreme-grade spirit weapons."
When the results were announced at the beginning, everyone doubted that they had heard it clearly.
However, this time round, all the cultivators present heard it clearly.
Something was happening!
The cultivators who had already left gathered in front of Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop at an even faster speed. Most of them had gloating expressions as they waited to watch the show.
Initially, there was no one around Perfected Being Cang Lang. In the blink of an eye, another group of people surrounded him!
A mocking look flashed through Perfected Being Yun Shan's eyes as he pretended to ask with concern, "Fellow Daoist Cang Lang, what's going on?"
"Humph!"
Perfected Being Cang Lang harrumphed coldly with a terrible expression. He glared at Nien Qi with a dark gaze and asked slowly, "Young lady, you're not joking with me, right?"
A shuddering aura emanated from Perfected Being Cang Lang's body as it slowly pressed towards Nien Qi.
Everyone could tell that Perfected Being Cang Lang was truly enraged at this moment!
Against Perfected Being Cang Lang's might, Nien Qi's expression did not change as he asked instead, "Do I look like I'm joking?"
"Alright, I want an explanation!"
Perfected Being Cang Lang strode forward and questioned loudly with an imposing aura that shone brightly.
Perfected Being Cang Lang's aura was aggressive. Nien Qi frowned and asked impatiently, "What explanation do you want?"
"I was clearly the highest bidder at 2.01 million superior-grade spirit stones for the rights to customize supreme-grade spirit weapons. What right do you have to give it to someone else?!"
Perfected Being Cang Lang said slowly, "Young lady, if you didn't hear it clearly, I can repeat it to you right now. I was the one who bid the highest in the final bid! All the cultivators present can attest to that! "
"Oh,"
Nien Qi replied indifferently and asked instead, "And then?"
Perfected Being Cang Lang felt a dull pain in his chest as he shuddered, nearly spitting out a mouthful of blood.
On one side, he was furious and on the brink of breaking down while on the other side, he was still calm and composed.
Everyone held back their laughter when they saw Perfected Being Cang Lang's pale expression.
"My master was the one who bid 2.01 million superior-grade spirit stones! Didn't you hear it clearly?!" Perfected Being Cang Lang's disciple, Si Yutang, could not hold it in any longer and stepped forward, hollering.
Nien Qi covered his ears and hollered, "What are you hollering for? So what if you're rich?!"
That retort nearly choked Si Yutang to death …
"Pfft!"
Finally, someone could not hold it in and burst out laughing.
Perfected Being Cang Lang took a deep breath of air and the muscles on his face twitched. His eyelids twitched as he grit his teeth. "It's clearly the case that the highest bidder wins. I just want to ask, where are the rules of Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop? Where is the fairness?!"
"Rules? Fairness? "
Nien Qi looked at Perfected Being Cang Lang with a 'you're so naive' expression. "In Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop, all the rules and fairness are decided by my young master …"
