Hidden Art Pavilion, auction venue!
"Yu Haoran, it looks like this Fengyun fellow's understanding and manipulation of human nature isn't any less than yours!"
Seeing the increasingly frenzied crowd participating in the auction for the inheritance jade slip, Thales heard the rising price of spirit stones.
Thaling couldn't help but sigh as he looked up at Fengyun, who was standing on the high platform with a smug expression on his face.
"That's right!"
Yu Haoran nodded and said with a solemn expression.
"At the beginning, he used greedy methods to gradually stimulate the gambling and adventurous nature of humans. Then, he used the irrationality of the herd effect to make them completely lose their rationality and fall into a frenzy. I think that the inheritance jade slip will be auctioned off for an unimaginable price in the end.
"Moreover, Fengyun, who is adept at manipulating human nature, will definitely become an extremely frightening and difficult expert to deal with in the future."
As the price of the inheritance jade slip passed forty million, the frenzied bidding still showed no signs of calming down.
And when the price of the inheritance jade slip passed one hundred million, those in the auction hall who didn't have the financial resources to bid were affected by the frenzied atmosphere. Like bloodthirsty gamblers, they recklessly offered exorbitant amounts of spirit stones that they simply couldn't afford. It was even possible that they would never be able to earn in their lifetime.
"Yu Haoran, something's not right!"
When the price of the inheritance jade slip broke the three hundred million mark, the frenzied bidding did not show any signs of abating. Instead, it became even more frenzied.
Thaling frowned as he sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
"There's a faint smell of blood!"
After hearing Thaling's warning, Yu Haoran first glanced at the frenzied crowd in the hall. Then, he walked to the door of the private room and opened it a crack. He immediately smelled a very faint smell of blood in the air.
"Thaling, the source of the smell of blood seems to be that inheritance jade slip!"
Through the crack in the door, Yu Haoran discovered that not only had the crowd gone crazy, but even the auction staff had entered the bidding for the inheritance jade slip with bloodshot eyes.
Thus, Yu Haoran, who didn't have to worry about exposing himself, walked out of the room and stood in the hall. Using his keen sense of smell, he traced the faint smell of blood in the hall.
"Yu Haoran, hurry back!" Just as Yu Haoran used his keen sense of smell to discover that the source of the smell of blood came from the inheritance jade slip, Thaling also discovered the abnormality of the inheritance jade slip and hurriedly warned him.
After returning to the private room, Yu Haoran stared fixedly at the inheritance jade slip on the tray, he asked, "Thaling, what exactly is hidden within the inheritance jade slip?"
"It should be a remnant soul fragment's soul's soul!"
Because the smell of blood in the inheritance jade slip could affect one's emotions and control one's mind, even Thaling, whose soul had recovered to the level of a Martial Venerable, dared not take the risk of using his divine mind to enter the inheritance jade slip.
Therefore, his tone when answering Yu Haoran was not so certain.
"Thaling, what should we do next?"
Yu Haoran asked anxiously when he saw that not only had the crowd in the hall gone crazy, but even the private room, which could isolate divine mind and aura, had also been affected by the inheritance jade slip and had fallen into a frenzy of bidding.
"This …!"
In fact, after discovering the abnormality of the inheritance jade slip, he had immediately used his divine mind to perform a secret technique that could clear one's Qi and concentrate one's mind, hoping that the secret technique could calm the people who had fallen into madness.
But it was useless.
Then, while Yu Haoran was using his keen sense of smell to trace the source of the smell of blood, Thaling secretly used the top elixir that he had stored in the Víctor, which could calm one's Qi and concentrate one's mind.
But it was still useless.
Therefore, in the face of Yu Haoran's request for help, Thaling did not know what to do.
Seeing that even the omniscient Thaling could not do anything, Yu Haoran, who had been anxious, forced himself to calm down, and then carefully thought about the methods he had at his disposal to see if he had a way to solve the current predicament.
For some reason, just as he was about to check if he had a way to remove the bewitching effect of the inheritance jade slip, a book emitting golden light flew out of the storage ring following his divine mind.
Then, the book emitting golden light instantly appeared in mid-air in the hall, and then the book automatically burst into flames.
Accompanied by the flames produced by the book, a bald phantom about 1.5 meters tall with golden light all over its body sat cross-legged in the flames.
Feeling the evil energy in the air that affected one's mind, the bald phantom opened its eyes slightly, and in its illusory eyes, there was a look of compassion for the common people.
Then, the bald phantom closed its eyes, and its lips trembled rapidly, and one golden word after another came out of its mouth.
"Yan Kirin, Yan Po Lin, All Buddhas appear!"
"Sha Luo Shen, Hu Luo Shen, recite Buddha a thousand times, ghosts leave the body!"
"Body leaves the bed, illness leaves the body, all disasters turn to dust!"
Every golden word that came out of the bald phantom's mouth would automatically merge into the inheritance jade slip.
Every time a golden word merged into the inheritance jade slip, the crazy state of the people present would be cleared up a little, and the smell of blood in the air would also fade a little.
After the two golden words' Dust 'merged into the inheritance jade slip, not only did the smell of blood in the air completely disappear, even the crazed crowd had completely calmed down.
"Three billion eighth-level, first-grade spirit stones!"
Even though the power of the inheritance jade slip that affected one's emotions and mind was completely sealed by the golden words that the bald illusory figure spat out, the owner of Room 9 was still affected by the last bit of power, and due to inertia, he took the opportunity to shout out an unimaginable price.
However, Yu Haoran's attention wasn't focused on the three billion bid for the inheritance jade slip. Instead, he was anxiously looking at the bald phantom floating in the air and sitting cross-legged in a cross-legged position.
This was because as the people in the auction hall woke up, the dazzling golden light emitted by the bald phantom would definitely attract their attention.
Among the people present, there were probably no less than twenty Martial Sages.
Therefore, Yu Haoran was worried that the dazzling bald phantom would cause these people to fight over it, and in the end, cause him to lose the gift that his teacher had given him.
However, to Yu Haoran's surprise, no matter how dazzling the golden light emitted by the bald phantom was, the people in the hall and the private rooms did not seem to notice it. They were just exclaiming about the three billion price that the ninth private room had bid.
What shocked Yu Haoran even more was that the people in the hall and the private rooms did not show any abnormalities when they were in a state of madness just now.
It was as if what had happened just now was just an illusion, and everything was wrong!
