When Wu Ming, who was sitting next to Luo Feng, heard this, he immediately opened his mouth to speak without thinking.
However, Luo Feng waved his hand to stop him.
Luo Feng gave Wu Ming a meaningful glance and said in a clear voice, "If Fellow Daoist Xia has a way to prove the authenticity of your manuscripts, then go ahead and prove it. Our Spirit Vulture Mountain is also happy to see this happen. Why would you suddenly want to make a bet? Fellow Daoist Xia, please don't try to change the subject! "
Luo Feng's thoughts were very simple. Right now, they already had the absolute upper hand. As long as there were no changes, the cultivators participating in the auction would all take a wait-and-see attitude due to their doubts. Therefore, he didn't want any accidents to happen at this time. As for Xia Ruofei's suggestion of a bet, he didn't want to accept it.
To put it bluntly, he wanted to deal with all changes by sticking to the status quo.
Luo Feng understood Wu Ming's temperament too well, so he promptly stopped Wu Ming from speaking. Otherwise, Xia Ruofei might really have gotten his way.
Xia Ruofei smiled confidently and said, "It seems that although Elder Luo's words are reasonable, you also know that our Star Plucking Sect's Linlang True Explanation has no problems. Since Elder Luo doesn't dare to make the bet, then forget it! "
Luo Feng didn't say anything, but he didn't stop Wu Ming.
Wu Ming was already full of anger. How could he endure Xia Ruofei's ridicule?
He stood up and shouted, "Who said we don't dare to make the bet? Speak! What kind of bet? "
Luo Feng stomped his feet and sighed. With a helpless expression, he whispered, "Young Sect Master Wu, the Star Plucking Sect clearly dug a hole for us to jump into! We already have an absolute cold, so why bother to complicate matters? "
Wu Ming coldly said, "Uncle Feng, I'm not as roundabout as you! I knew it! They've been provoking us this whole time. They're about to step on our necks and shit on us! If we blindly avoid them, what's the difference between us and a coward? Besides, I'm just a bit impatient, but I'm not stupid! What's wrong with hearing what they want to bet? If it's really outrageous, it won't be too late for us to refuse! "
Luo Feng thought about it and felt that this made sense.
Moreover, Wu Ming had already said it. If he were to take it back now, wouldn't that be slapping his own face?
At this moment, Xia Ruofei from room 20 asked in a clear voice, "Elder Luo, what do you think? Who exactly does Spirit Vulture Mountain listen to? . "....
Luo Feng's expression turned cold as he indifferently said, "If Fellow Daoist Xia only wants to drive a wedge between our Spirit Vulture Mountain, then I'm afraid you're being a petty person in vain. Sect Master Wu's opinion naturally represents the opinion of the entire Spirit Vulture Mountain.
...... . "........... Xia Ruofei smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's very simple. I will propose a plan that everyone agrees with to prove that there is no problem with our Linlang's True Explanation. So, let's bet on the authenticity of our Star Seizing Sect's two scrolls. If they're real, then we'll naturally win. If not, then you'll win. Elder Luo, do you dare to accept this bet? "
. Luo Feng smiled. "First, how will you prove it?".
Xia Ruofei said confidently, "Our plan is to auction these two handwritten copies of the 'True Understanding of the Glittering Jewel'. The Fellow Daoist who wins the handwritten copies can come to our Box 20. I'll explain the contents of the 'True Understanding of the Glittering Jewel' to him word by word. There will also be many cultivation insights that are not recorded in the handwritten copies. Consider it a free gift! Regardless of whether it's the first Qi Condensation or the second Golden Core, we guarantee that you'll be able to understand it! Fellow Daoists, you're all tyrants. Every sect has a Golden Core cultivator here. I'm sure a fake cultivation technique won't be able to fool you! Let alone a cultivation technique that we're all cultivating ourselves! I can guarantee that any Fellow Daoist who hasn't cultivated the Linlang True Solution before will be able to comprehend it on the spot after listening to my explanation! "
After Xia Ruofei said this, many cultivators were tempted. It was obvious that Xia Ruofei was full of confidence. It didn't seem like he was deliberately stirring up trouble! According to Xia Ruofei's plan, it was impossible to fool them. If there were any problems with the handwritten copies, they would immediately be caught red-handed.
Luo Feng's expression changed slightly. His mind quickly turned and he suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He sneered and said, "Fellow Daoist Xia, you're wrong! I admit that if we follow Fellow Daoist Xia's plan, it will indeed be effective to a certain extent. However, that only proves that the two cultivation techniques you've provided are effective. In reality, the results will require a long period of cultivation to gradually come to a conclusion. Most importantly, you have no way of proving that this is the Linlang True Solution! What if you purposely created another spiritual power cultivation technique and changed its name to 'Linlang's True Explanation' in order to attack our Spirit Vulture Mountain? For Fellow Daoists who haven't cultivated this cultivation technique, they won't be able to judge it at all! "
Xia Ruofei chuckled and said, "Then according to Elder Luo's words, this matter is simply unsolvable? However, how can your Spirit Vulture Mountain's Linlang True Solution prove its authenticity? In the future, when you go to Spirit Vulture Mountain and compare it with the original … Hehe! Even if it's a fake, who knows which unlucky Fellow Daoist won it? At most, they'll get a refund of their Spirit Stones. However, that Fellow Daoist could have made a profit at the auction, but because he put all his Spirit Stones into your incomplete scroll, he won't be able to get anything. In any case, our method can determine its authenticity on the spot. If there's really a problem with the auction item, not only will the Fellow Daoist who won our handwritten copies not suffer any losses, but he'll also receive ten times the compensation. As for which is better and which is worse, I'm sure all the Fellow Daoists present have their own opinions! "
Luo Feng's expression darkened and he said, "Fellow Daoist Xia really has a glib tongue. You can even turn black into white! If you want to prove the authenticity of your handwritten copies, there's naturally a way! "
Luo Feng was actually very helpless. The situation was originally going well, but because Wu Ming wanted to listen to the other side's bet, Xia Ruofei had forcibly turned the situation around.
He had to admit that Xia Ruofei's method of determining the authenticity of the handwritten copies, especially the ten times the compensation, was very convincing. It would definitely make many cultivators who were in a dilemma make up their minds again. After all, if there was a problem with the two handwritten copies, it wouldn't affect their ability to compete for the Spirit Vulture Mountain's handwritten copies. Moreover, they'd receive ten times the price of the handwritten copies, which was a huge sum of money.
Luo Feng even felt that because of this promise of ten times the compensation, if the two handwritten copies were to be auctioned off now, the price of the Star Plucking Sect's handwritten copies would increase by a large margin.
In this kind of situation, he couldn't stabilize his defense and had to take the initiative to attack.
In fact, Luo Feng still didn't believe that the Star Plucking Sect could really take out the Linlang True Solution. After all, most of the cultivation techniques unearthed from ancient ruins were unique copies. Especially the Linlang True Solution, which was a high-quality cultivation technique, how could it be so common? Was it so coincidental that the Star Plucking Sect also had it in their collection? Luo Feng believed that the probability of this happening was extremely low.
Just as he'd said before, he strongly suspected that the Star Plucking Sect had used a similarly high-quality spiritual power cultivation technique and disguised it as the Linlang True Solution to be auctioned off. Their goal was to stop Spirit Vulture Mountain.
Therefore, if they followed Xia Ruofei's method of determining the authenticity of the handwritten copies, it was very likely that they'd be able to get away with it.
However, the handwritten copies from Spirit Vulture Mountain wouldn't be easy to sell …
Xia Ruofei responded with a smile, "It seems that Elder Luo already has a plan. Then I'm all ears!"
Luo Feng snorted coldly. "It's very simple. I can guarantee that the handwritten copies from Spirit Vulture Mountain are absolutely authentic. Among the two handwritten copies from the Star Plucking Sect, the second volume of the Linlang True Solution just so happens to be among them. In that case, if any Fellow Daoist wins the bid for the so-called Linlang True Solution, our Spirit Vulture Mountain is willing to provide our handwritten copies and compare them page by page with the Star Plucking Sect's handwritten copies. If they're completely identical, then we'll naturally acknowledge the authenticity of the Star Plucking Sect's handwritten copies! I'm sure all the Fellow Daoists will approve of this plan. After all, our Spirit Vulture Mountain's Linlang True Solution is known to almost everyone in the cultivation world! "
Xia Ruofei said indifferently, "If we follow this plan, our Star Plucking Sect will definitely lose!"
Luo Feng was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "What's wrong? Fellow Daoist Xia, are you feeling guilty? We're willing to provide our handwritten copies for free so that we can share the burden of our Fellow Daoists. Fellow Daoist Xia should be happy! Weren't you full of confidence in the authenticity of your so-called Linlang True Solution just now? "
Luo Feng was even more confident in his own judgment now. It was very possible that the Star Plucking Sect had changed its appearance and used a different cultivation technique to replace the original!
However, Xia Ruofei's next words almost caused Luo Feng to explode in anger …
Xia Ruofei said slowly, "As everyone knows, the second volume of Spirit Vulture Mountain's Linlang True Solution is incomplete and has several pages missing. However, we're providing the complete first and second volumes. How can the contents of our second volume be exactly the same as Spirit Vulture Mountain's handwritten copies? Of course, we have more! If we're judged to be fake just because our copies aren't exactly the same, then wouldn't we die of injustice? "
Luo Feng was fuming with anger. He snorted coldly and said, "Fellow Daoist Xia, why are you speaking so quickly? Fine! I was too careless with my words just now. How about this, if the contents of the second volume are exactly the same except for the missing pages, then it proves that your handwritten copies aren't fake. How about this? "
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Then what if your Spirit Vulture Mountain has ulterior motives and deliberately changed some key parts? Then wouldn't we suffer a great loss? How about this! According to Elder Luo's plan, if most of the contents are the same, then there's no need to doubt its authenticity. As for the parts that aren't the same, we can completely see whose handwritten copies are more reasonable. I'm sure the senior who bought the handwritten copies has a good eye for this. If it really doesn't work, then we can go to Spirit Vulture Mountain to take the original copy and verify it again! In any case, we can't be wronged! "
In fact, Xia Ruofei's words were not only accepted by the cultivators watching the show, but also by Luo Feng himself.
If the main contents of the two handwritten copies were the same, then it could basically prove their authenticity. If the Star Plucking Sect didn't have the Linlang True Solution, then it would be impossible for them to make up the contents that were very similar to the real Linlang True Solution. But if the Star Plucking Sect did have the Linlang True Solution and put it up for auction at the last minute to attack Spirit Vulture Mountain, then it was very unlikely that they would change the original contents. Therefore, even if there were some parts that were not the same, it could only be because the two "versions" were different.
Luo Feng muttered to himself for a while, then said, "Fine …"
"Uncle Feng!" Wu Ming hurriedly said, "This guy wants a yard after taking an inch. How can you agree so easily?"
Luo Feng said, "Don't worry! The more he acts like this, the more guilty he is! I still don't believe that they also have the Linlang True Solution. I think he wants us to refuse! That's why he keeps trying to provoke me! "
Xia Ruofei chuckled and said, "Elder Luo, other than that …"
"Fellow Daoist Xia!" Luo Feng directly interrupted Xia Ruofei and said, "I think it's better to stop before going too far! You've already made a lot of demands, and we've also made concessions time and time again. If your sect wants a yard after taking an inch, then it'll make the other Fellow Daoists suspect that you don't have the sincerity to prove the authenticity of the handwritten copies. You just want to cause trouble! "
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Then we'll do as Elder Luo says! We'll auction it first, and then we'll take out both copies and compare them! We'll use that to determine the authenticity! "
"Wait a moment!" Luo Feng said.
"Elder Luo, do you still have something to say?" Xia Ruofei pretended to be surprised and said, "Didn't we already reach an agreement?"
Luo Feng sneered and said, "Fellow Daoist Xia's memory seems to be a bit bad! Have you forgotten that we're making a bet? How can there be no stakes in a bet? "
Xia Ruofei suddenly understood and said, "So that's what Elder Luo was talking about! Thank you for reminding me. Otherwise, I really would've forgotten. "
Luo Feng said indifferently, "Since Fellow Daoist Xia proposed this bet, then why don't you also propose the stakes?"
Xia Ruofei pondered for a moment and said, "I'll tell you what I think! In the end, if our handwritten copies are authentic, then Spirit Vulture Mountain will withdraw your copy of the Linlang True Explanation and no longer participate in the auction. What do you think? "
Luo Feng was a bit surprised because Xia Ruofei's conditions weren't harsh at all. As long as they could prove that the Star Plucking Sect's handwritten copies were authentic, then the value of the Spirit Vulture Mountain's "reduced version" would naturally decrease. It wouldn't make much difference whether it participated in the auction or not.
Xia Ruofei naturally didn't want to give Spirit Vulture Mountain a chance to earn more Spirit Stones. After all, if Spirit Vulture Mountain's copy was still auctioned, they could still exchange it for some Spirit Stones.
Although he didn't know what Spirit Vulture Mountain's plan was, if the enemy's intention was to collect more Spirit Stones, then it wouldn't be wrong for him to stop them from collecting Spirit Stones.
"Alright!" Luo Feng said after pondering for a moment. Then, he immediately asked, "What if your handwritten copies are fake? What would you say? "
Xia Ruofei didn't waste any time and straightforwardly said, "If it's proven to be fake, then we'll naturally return all the Spirit Stones and give you ten times the compensation! Of course, this is compensation for the Fellow Daoist who won our handwritten copies. As for Spirit Vulture Mountain, since we lost the bet, we'll naturally pay a corresponding price. How about thirty Aura-Condensing Pills? As long as we lose, we'll give Spirit Vulture Mountain thirty Aura-Condensing Pills of the same quality as the one we just auctioned! "
