As soon as Xia Ruofei said this, the whole place couldn't help but quiet down.
The five bottles of Chi Amassing Pills at the beginning of the auction had successfully attracted everyone's attention. Many people had been trying to guess which sect had provided the Chi Amassing Pills, but they hadn't expected the Star Plucking Sect to take the initiative to admit it.
"You have those Chi Amassing Pills?" Luo Feng couldn't help but ask.
On the main stage, Hao Qingsong directly said, "I can prove it. The Chi Amassing Pills at the beginning of the auction were indeed provided by the Star Plucking Sect."
As the host, the Fallen Leaves Sect had an obligation to keep their client's identity a secret. But since they had taken the initiative to come forward, Hao Qingsong naturally didn't have any scruples.
Moreover, Hao Qingsong hoped that the Star Plucking Sect's manuscript would be auctioned off successfully. That way, the Fallen Leaves Sect would also benefit greatly!
Hao Qingsong's words could be considered as a solid hammer.
Luo Feng couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. Although they hadn't participated in the competition for the Chi Amassing Pills, Sun Feng had personally appraised them. Their Spirit Vulture Mountain also had many Qi Condensation cultivators, including the young sect master, Wu Ming, who was still in the Qi Condensation Realm.
Thirty pills were equivalent to one and a half bottles. If Wu Ming were to use them alone, he would be able to use them for a long time.
However, Luo Feng wasn't satisfied with just thirty Chi Amassing Pills.
He narrowed his eyes and said, "Thirty Chi Amassing Pills is too little … If our manuscript is withdrawn from the auction, we'll lose tens of thousands of spirit stones!"
Xia Ruofei asked indifferently, "Then how many pills does Elder Luo think are appropriate?"
Luo Feng smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Xia should know very well that if we don't participate in this matter, you won't be able to prove the authenticity of the two manuals. The Fellow Daoists present won't be able to buy them with confidence! Therefore, the benefits of this bet will all be on your side … "
"What if my manuscript isn't the same as Spirit Vulture Mountain's? Wouldn't we suffer a double loss? " Xia Ruofei smiled faintly and said, "There's no need to say these words. Since Elder Luo is still speaking with assurance, you naturally want to make this bet. It's just a matter of the wager. We've already wasted a lot of everyone's time. Elder Luo, why don't you be a bit more straightforward? "
"Fine!" Luo Feng said, "If we win, what we want isn't the Energy Amassing Pill, but the formula for the Energy Amassing Pill!"
Xia Ruofei and Luo Qingfeng glanced at each other, and then revealed a disdainful smile: "Elder Luo has a big appetite! It's just the right to auction off a remnant volume, and you want to bet a priceless formula? "
"Fellow Daoist Xia Ruofei can choose not to bet." Luo Feng seemed to be certain that he had Xia Ruofei under control.
"Why not?" Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "But the stakes are not equal. If Elder Luo wants to change it to a prescription, shouldn't you pay more if you lose?"
"What else do you want?" Luo Feng asked.
"In addition to the withdrawal of your 'Linlang's True Explanation' from this auction, you'll have to pay us an additional 50,000 spirit stones." Xia Ruofei said without hesitation, "This is my final condition. If you have no objections, then let's make the bet! If you don't agree, then just pretend I didn't say anything. Our manuscript will participate in the auction normally, and I think there will be a Fellow Daoist who knows what's what! I don't need to prove anything! "
Luo Feng couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this.
His intuition told him that Xia Ruofei didn't seem to be bluffing.
However, if he judged it rationally, the probability of the Star Plucking Sect also possessing the 'Linlang's True Explanation' was very low. Moreover, they had a conflict before …
If it was just a bet that their 'Linlang's True Explanation' would be withdrawn from the auction, he wouldn't worry too much. After all, if they lost, it would prove that the Star Plucking Sect's' Linlang's True Explanation 'was also authentic. That would mean that the remnant volumes they put up for auction later would likely be sold at a low price, so in reality, they didn't have to pay too much for this bet.
However, if they added 50,000 spirit stones, the impact would be a bit too great.
If they didn't have the income from the auction of the remnant volumes of the 'Linlang's True Explanation', their budget would be a bit stretched. If they lost another 50,000 spirit stones, there would be a difference of over a hundred thousand spirit stones. Basically, it would mean that they had already withdrawn from the competition for that treasure.
Of course, if they won, not only would the remnant volumes of the 'Linlang's True Explanation' be sold at a higher price, they would also obtain an incomparably precious pill formula for free. In the future, Spirit Vulture Mountain would be able to make a lot of money just by selling Chi Gathering Pills.
Sure, the rewards were very attractive, but the risk was also quite high.
Luo Feng was still weighing the pros and cons, but Wu Ming beside him was already a bit anxious.
Wu Ming whispered, "Uncle Feng, what are you thinking about? Say yes! We can't lose! He's giving us a pill formula for free! "
Luo Feng smiled bitterly to himself — if only it were that simple.
However, in the end, he still couldn't resist the temptation of the Chi Gathering Pill formula. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! We'll do as Fellow Daoist Xia says! Our Spirit Vulture Mountain will accept this bet! "
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Straightforward! Our Star Plucking Sect will naturally be happy to accompany you! "
Then, Xia Ruofei turned to Hao Qingsong on the auction stage and said, "Elder Hao, I'll have to trouble the Fallen Leaves Sect to be our witness!"
Hao Qingsong laughed and said, "No problem! It's our honor! And with so many Fellow Daoists here as witnesses, I believe that both of you won't go back on your word! Stand up, we are all witnesses! "
"Thank you!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
Hao Qingsong nodded and said, "Since there are no more doubts, then we'll begin the auction of the first and second volumes of the 'Linlang's True Explanation' that the Star Plucking Sect has provided. That's right, there's one more thing I forgot to tell everyone. Because these two manuscripts start from the beginning and are complete, not only can Qi Condensation cultivators directly cultivate the first volume, even Golden Core cultivators can cultivate according to the contents of the two volumes. Alright, enough idle chatter, let's begin the auction! The starting price of these two volumes of the 'Linlang's True Explanation' is 30,000 Spirit Stones, and each increment must be no less than 500 Spirit Stones! Fellow Daoists, you may bid! "
… …
The price on the big screen quickly changed, and every time it flashed, it meant that someone had increased the price again.
Everyone's increments were quite large, and apart from a few who increased the price by 500 Spirit Stones, most of the others increased the price by one to two thousand Spirit Stones.
After a short while, the price on the big screen had already reached 50,000 Spirit Stones.
This was the highest price item in the auction so far.
Moreover, the price was still rising, but the speed of change was starting to slow down. This meant that some people knew that it was hopeless or that they didn't have enough money, so they wisely withdrew from the competition. As for the cultivators who were still competing, because of the price, they had to think twice before bidding.
Xia Ruofei didn't expect that everyone would be so enthusiastic.
Even Luo Feng and Wu Ming, who were in Room 15, were stupefied — this was much more popular than their own handwritten copies!
According to their estimates, their copy of the 'Linlang's True Explanation' could be sold for around 50,000 Spirit Stones.
Looking at the situation now, the Star Harvester Sect's copy had already reached 50,000 Spirit Stones, and the final price was clearly much higher than that.
Luo Feng quickly understood the crux of the matter — in reality, the Spirit Vulture Mountain was' assisting 'the Star Harvester Sect, and their bet was equivalent to having a guarantee. If the Star Harvester Sect's copy was real, then it would be worth it to buy it for 50,000 Spirit Stones or even 70,000 Spirit Stones. But if the Star Harvester Sect's copy was fake, then they wouldn't suffer any losses and would even receive several hundred thousand Spirit Stones as compensation. No matter how they looked at it, they wouldn't suffer any losses.
Therefore, everyone didn't have to worry about the consequences, and the bidding became even more straightforward.
After Luo Feng understood this, he felt extremely unwilling, but he quickly changed his mind and thought to himself, Hmph! No matter how many Spirit Stones they bid now, it's useless! As long as they compare the copies, their true colors will be exposed. The higher the final price, the more they'll lose. When the time comes, the Star Harvester Sect won't be able to afford it even if they sell their entire fortune!
With this thought, Luo Feng felt a lot more at ease.
In box 20, Xia Ruofei happily watched the numbers on the large screen rise steadily. He turned to Luo Qingfeng and said, "Qingfeng, you don't understand why I suddenly became so high-profile, right? I even took the initiative to admit to the matter of the Energy Gathering Pill. "
Luo Qingfeng hurriedly said, "Master definitely has his own plans. This Old Slave doesn't want to make wild guesses."
Xia Ruofei sighed and said, "Ever since I participated in the competition for that ore, especially after Wu Ming's words, we were destined to not be able to keep a low profile. Who knows how many pairs of eyes are watching us! Since that's the case, we might as well do the opposite! "
At this point, Xia Ruofei patted Luo Qingfeng's shoulder and said, "I'm doing this for the sake of the Star Harvester Sect. The more high-profile we are, the less likely those with ulterior motives will dare to act rashly. If they can be like Shao Qingyang and misunderstand that we have the backing of a Nascent Soul cultivator, that'll be even better. Although the Star Harvester Sect has a strong foundation and we don't have to be afraid of those sects, I still hope to reduce the pressure on you as much as possible. "
Luo Qingfeng was touched and said, "On behalf of the entire Star Harvester Sect, Qingfeng thanks Master for your concern!"
"Everything can wait until the auction is over!" Xia Ruofei said, "As long as Yifu's plane takes off smoothly, the two of us won't have anything to worry about. When the time comes, I'll naturally provide more protection for the Star Harvester Sect!"
"Yes! Master! "Luo Qingfeng said," We'll do as Master says! "
While the two of them were talking, the price of the two copies had unknowingly reached 60,000 Spirit Stones.
At least three or four sects still didn't give up and continued to raise the price.
Xia Ruofei noticed that there seemed to be a cultivator from the Soaring Flower Valley who came from box number six.
In box number six, Liu Mansha frowned slightly and said, "Although the price isn't high, the Linlang True Solution is worth it! However, if we bid for these two copies, I'm afraid we won't be able to compete for that treasure … Junior Martial Sister Yang, let's give up! The bigger picture is more important! "
At this moment, the person controlling the bidding machine was actually Elder Yang Liu of the Soaring Flower Valley.
After hearing Liu Mansha's words, Yang Liu turned her head and smiled. "Senior Martial Sister Liu, no matter what price we have to pay, we have to get these two copies! If you weren't limited by your mental power, you would have already broken through to the late-stage of the Golden Core realm. These two handwritten copies of the 《Glittering Jewel True Explanations》 are simply a golden opportunity that was specially prepared for you! If you don't take it, you'll be harmed! "
Yang Liu continued, "As for the bigger picture … it shouldn't affect the bigger picture! Didn't I prepare 50,000 Spirit Stones? Let's use them to subsidize Senior Martial Sister's purchase of the Linlang True Solution! This way, we won't have to use much of the 100,000 Spirit Stones that our sect prepared. We still have the strength to compete for that treasure! "
Liu Mansha hurriedly said, "How can we do that? That 50,000 Spirit Stones was the money you got from selling a lot of your treasures. It was all for the sake of buying that pair of storage rings … "
"What storage ring is more important than Senior Martial Sister's opportunity to break through?" Yang Liu said without hesitation. "Senior Martial Sister Liu, I usually follow your orders in the sect, but today, I'm going to make a decision!"
At this moment, Yang Liu saw the price on the big screen change again and couldn't help but mutter to herself, "It's that old guy from the Black Dragon Sect again. Is he going to go all out against us?"
As she spoke, she pressed the button to increase the price.
The big screen showed the new price: 10,000 Spirit Stones. The bidder came from box number six.
Liu Mansha was silent for a few seconds before she said, "Junior Martial Sister! Thank you! "
Liu Mansha was very clear that Yang Liu really wanted that pair of storage rings. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone around selling treasures for Spirit Stones. She had saved up 50,000 Spirit Stones with great difficulty and came to this auction. It could be said that she was determined to get that pair of storage rings. However, in order to help her bid for the Linlang True Solution, Yang Liu didn't hesitate to give up on the item she wanted in advance and began to fight for the Linlang True Solution with all her strength. This made Liu Mansha very moved.
Yang Liu chuckled and said, "Senior Martial Sister, don't be so polite. Our Soaring Flower Valley will have more confidence when your strength is strong! Everyone is of the same breath and branch, and we are one! Furthermore … there will be plenty of opportunities for the storage rings in the future! However, these two complete volumes of the Linlang True Solution are something that can only be encountered by chance! "
Originally, they had also noticed the remnant volumes of the Linlang True Solution on Spirit Vulture Mountain. However, because they didn't have the foundation of the first volume, and the second volume itself was incomplete, they could only use it to provide some inspiration and verification for their spiritual power comprehension. Basically, they couldn't directly cultivate it. It wouldn't be of much help to Liu Mansha, so they didn't even consider competing for this remnant volume.
However, they didn't expect that the complete first two volumes of the Linlang True Solution would suddenly appear. The significance of this was completely different.
Yang Liu didn't hesitate to enter the competition. In her words, even if she had to give up on that treasure, she would first obtain the Linlang True Solution for her Senior Martial Sister. In comparison, the storage rings that she wanted were even more insignificant.
Xia Ruofei, who was sitting calmly in box number 20, naturally didn't know that his last minute actions had inadvertently helped him bid for the storage rings and eliminated a strong competitor before the auction began. Of course, this was on the premise that the Soaring Flower Valley successfully won the bid for the Linlang True Solution in the end.
