After another ten or so minutes of bidding, the ownership of the two handwritten copies of the 《Linlang True Dispelling》 that Xia Ruofei had brought out on the spur of the moment was finally settled.
In the end, Hao Qingsong announced that the final price was 73500 Spirit Stones, setting a new record for the auction.
The person who had won this auction item that many Golden Core cultivators were tempted by was none other than the cultivator from Soaring Flower Valley from box number six.
When Hao Qingsong announced the deal, Yangliu, who had been clenching her fists, couldn't help but cry out in excitement.
She excitedly said, "We got it! Senior Martial Sister! We got it! Perhaps the opportunity for Senior Martial Sister to break through to the late-stage of Golden Core lies in these two handwritten copies! "
Liu Mansha looked at Yangliu, somewhat moved. She gently said, "Thank you!"
Although it was just a simple word, it contained too much gratitude.
Yangliu waved her hand and said, "Senior Martial Sister, don't be so polite! Not only are these two copies of the cultivation technique beneficial to Senior Martial Sister's cultivation, but all the cultivators of our Soaring Flower Valley will be able to quickly cultivate their spiritual power in the future. Spending over 70,000 Spirit Stones to get these two copies is very worth it! "
Yang Liu had already made it clear that she was going to contribute her personal savings of 50,000 spirit stones to purchase these two handwritten copies. If she didn't do so, then the 100,000 spirit stones that Soaring Flower Valley had prepared beforehand would be used up by more than half. The remaining 20,000 spirit stones would be completely withdrawn from the competition for that treasure. Most likely, even the starting price would be higher than that.
If Yangliu took out her own Spirit Stones, then Soaring Flower Valley would still have 70,000 Spirit Stones left. Although the competition would be a lot weaker, Liu Mansha still had many valuable treasures. If she really couldn't compete, then she could use her Spirit Stones and treasures to participate in the auction. If she was lucky, then the treasures she took out just happened to be something that the auctioneer urgently needed. Even if she had less Spirit Stones, the auctioneer might still choose her Soaring Flower Valley.
Liu Mansha smiled and said, "Junior Martial Sister Yang, let's not be happy too early. What if this 《Linlang True Dispelling》 isn't real?"
Yangliu giggled and said, "That means we've earned over 700,000 Spirit Stones! That's a huge sum of money! I just don't know if selling the Star Picking Sect would be worth that much … "
"Since that young man dares to make such a bet, he must be confident!" Liu Mansha took a deep breath and said, "If I had a choice, I would rather give up the 700,000 Spirit Stones and hope that their two handwritten copies of the Linlang's True Explanation would be as good as the one I just introduced."
"That's right!" Yangliu sighed.
Liu Mansha stood up and smiled, "Let's go! The show has only just begun! "
In the eyes of all the cultivators attending the auction, the auction for the two handwritten manuscripts of the Star Picking Sect had only just begun. The real highlight was yet to come.
Everyone was interested in the bet between the Star Seizing Sect and Spirit Vulture Mountain.
Unfortunately, because the handwritten copy of a cultivation technique was very sensitive, it was impossible to verify it under everyone's eyes. Everyone was destined to wait for the final result.
Everyone involved, including the cultivators from Spirit Vulture Mountain and the cultivators from Soaring Blossom Valley who had won the two manuscripts, left their boxes and headed for box 20, where the Star Picking Sect was located, according to their agreement.
Xia Ruofei and Luo Qingfeng sat calmly on the fishing platform, calculating their gains while waiting for Liu Mansha and the others to arrive.
The three treasures that had been auctioned off earlier had earned a total of 39000 Spirit Stones. However, Xia Ruofei had spent another 6010 Spirit Stones to compete for the mysterious ore, so he was left with about 33000 Spirit Stones.
Because Xia Ruofei had agreed to let the Fallen Leaves Sect look at the contents of the first scroll for an hour, Shao Qingyang had generously expressed that he would not take a commission. Thus, the 73500 Spirit Stones were net income.
Xia Ruofei now had about 106500 Spirit Stones at his disposal.
In addition, after the bet, the Spirit Vulture Mountain had lost 50,000 Spirit Stones to them. In other words, Xia Ruofei had more than 150,000 Spirit Stones at his disposal, which was more than what many top sects had brought this time.
In any case, there was absolutely no problem competing for the storage rings.
Everyone was concerned about the final result of the bet between Spirit Vulture Mountain and the Star Seizing Sect, so even the auction was suspended.
The organizer, Shao Qingyang of the Falling Leaves Sect, acted as a witness and personally led the cultivators from Spirit Vulture Mountain and Soaring Flower Valley to box 20.
Liu Mansha and Yangliu had come from Soaring Flower Valley. They had met Xia Ruofei once in the elevator. As for Spirit Vulture Mountain, it was naturally Luo Feng and Wu Ming. This was the first time Xia Ruofei had seen their true faces.
Luo Feng looked like a skinny old man in his sixties. He wore a dark blue Daoist robe and his hair was somewhat white. However, his eyes were very sharp. As soon as he entered, he swept his gaze over Xia Ruofei. As the Sect Master of the Star Seizing Sect, Luo Qingfeng had naturally met him before, so there was no need for an introduction. Luo Feng knew that the young man in front of him was the Star Seizing Sect's "Xia Tian".
Similarly, Wu Ming also fiercely glared at Xia Ruofei. His eyes were about to spit fire.
However, it was likely that Luo Feng had warned him beforehand. Although the two sides appeared to be at loggerheads, there was no conflict.
On Soaring Flower Valley's side, Liu Mansha gave Xia Ruofei a meaningful glance as soon as she entered. Moreover, she immediately noticed that there was one person missing from the Star Seizing Sect's box. The oldest cultivator with the lowest cultivation base had disappeared.
Liu Mansha thought to herself, Could it be that they felt that the limelight this time was too great, so for safety's sake, they let the low-level cultivator leave first? That was a rather wise choice …
Shao Qingyang chuckled and gave a simple introduction to both sides. Then, he said, "Because of the bet between the Star Seizing Sect and Spirit Vulture Mountain, and of course to protect the interests of Soaring Flower Valley's fellow cultivators, we will now appraise the Star Seizing Sect's copy of the Linlang True Explanation. As the middleman, I still need to confirm the bet with both sides before we begin. "
After he finished speaking, Shao Qingyang looked at Xia Ruofei, Luo Feng, and the others. He continued, "According to the agreed method, if the Star Seizing Sect's copy is the real deal, then Spirit Vulture Mountain's copy will be withdrawn from the auction and the Star Seizing Sect will pay 50,000 Spirit Stones. If not, the deal between the Star Seizing Sect and Soaring Flower Valley will be voided. The Star Seizing Sect will have to pay 735000 Spirit Stones to Soaring Flower Valley and give the Spirit Vulture Mountain the formula for the Qi Gathering Pill. Are all of you sure about this bet? Do you have anything else to add? "
Xia Ruofei nodded calmly and said, "No problem!"
Liu Mansha smiled and said, "It seems that no matter what the result is, we are in an invincible position! Soaring Flower Valley has no problems either! "
On Spirit Vulture Mountain's side, Wu Ming rolled his eyes and said, "I have something to add!"
Shao Qingyang raised his eyebrows and looked at Wu Ming. He said kindly, "Young Master Wu, please speak!"
Wu Ming looked at Xia Ruofei proudly and said, "If the Star Seizing Sect loses, the formula they give us must be authentic and not tampered with at all. Otherwise, if we take back a wrong formula, it will be like a piece of waste paper! "
Xia Ruofei said without hesitation, "Of course, we can guarantee that. I can show you the formula in person and refine the Qi Gathering Pill on the spot. I can guarantee that the average effect will be at the same level as the batch of Qi Gathering Pills that were auctioned at the beginning of the auction. That should be no problem, right? If you can't refine it, then it's a problem of your level. It has nothing to do with my formula at all! "
"Very good!" Luo Feng didn't wait for Wu Ming to speak. He said directly, "Fellow Cultivator Xia is quite open and generous this time. Let's do it!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and thought to himself, "You can't get the formula at all. Everything you said is just an illusion. What's the harm in being generous?"
Shao Qingyang asked, "Do you have any other questions?"
Luo Feng shook his head and said, "No. I have officially confirmed the bet on behalf of Spirit Vulture Mountain. We can begin to verify its authenticity!"
Even though Liu Mansha and Yangliu were veteran Gold Core cultivators, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous at this time.
It was mainly because they were worried about their gains and losses. They had great expectations for the two handwritten copies. As Liu Mansha had said, they would rather not have 700,000 Spirit Stones, because that would mean that the Star Seizing Sect's Glittering Jewel Explanation was authentic.
Shao Qingyang said, "Since the three parties have confirmed, let's begin to verify its authenticity! Because it involves the secret of the cultivation method, I will leave first … "
Xia Ruofei waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Sect Leader Shao, please be a witness!"
Wu Ming objected as soon as he heard this. He said loudly, "How can we do that? Our Glittering Jewel Explanation is a secret that can't be passed on! "
Xia Ruofei smiled faintly. With a flip of his hand, he took out a set of array talismans from the space. He waved his hand and threw them out, directly setting up a barrier that covered everyone.
Xia Ruofei said, "Elder Luo, you can go outside the barrier and try to see if your mental power can pry into the situation inside the barrier."
Luo Feng walked out doubtfully and released his mental power to probe with all his might. However, he found that the barrier that Xia Ruofei had casually set up was incomparably tough. It seemed to have formed a natural balance with no weak points at all. It could be said that it was extremely good at shielding mental power.
Luo Feng immediately understood Xia Ruofei's intention. As a witness, Shao Qingyang could stand outside the barrier and see the situation inside with his naked eye. However, he couldn't use his mental power to pry into the contents of the handwritten copies.
This barrier was so tough that even a Gold Core cultivator wouldn't be able to break it easily.
Moreover, if Shao Qingyang forcefully used his mental power to destroy the barrier, everyone would naturally notice.
In this way, Shao Qingyang could be present as a witness without leaking the secret.
Luo Feng couldn't help but look at Xia Ruofei again.
Xia Ruofei was so confident. Could he really guarantee that he would win? Moreover … this kid was so young, but his attainments in array formation were really not bad! The array talismans to set up the barrier might have been given by the elders of the sect, but the method of setting up the array couldn't be given by the elders of the sect. Xia Ruofei had set up the array with a wave of his hand. At first glance, it was obvious that he was very familiar with it.
Luo Feng couldn't help but feel a little nervous. The confidence that he had built up at the beginning was also somewhat shaken …
However, at this point, Luo Feng certainly couldn't back down. After testing the barrier, he nodded and said, "This method is not bad. I'll have to trouble Sect Master Shao to be our witness outside the barrier!"
Shao Qingyang said happily, "No problem! It's my honor! "
After that, Shao Qingyang stepped out of the barrier and stood near the door of the box to be a witness.
Liu Mansha smiled and said, "Fellow Xia, can you take out your manuscripts now? Fellow Luo from Spirit Vulture Mountain, on behalf of Soaring Flower Valley, I'd like to thank you for providing a comparison manuscript … "
Luo Feng smiled and said, "Everyone is just taking what they need! Valley Master Liu, you don't have to be so polite. However, I still advise Valley Master Liu not to have too much hope … "
Liu Mansha smiled and said, "If that's the case, we can at least earn 700,000 Spirit Stones. That's not bad …"
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "If Valley Master Liu wants to buy these two manuscripts for Spirit Stones, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed!"
Wu Ming snorted and said, "Xia, don't be so quick with your words! You'll know if it's a mule or a horse when it comes out for a walk! "
Xia Ruofei glanced at Wu Ming with a trace of disdain in his eyes. He said directly to Luo Feng, "Elder Luo, I think Valley Master Liu should do the verification while we supervise from the side. What do you think?"
Luo Feng nodded and said, "Of course! I'd like to remind you that after the manuscripts are taken out, no one here is allowed to use their mental strength again. "
Luo Feng was naturally worried that the Star Plucking Sect would randomly take out a cultivation technique to fool them. While they were verifying the manuscripts, they would use their mental strength to read through the contents of the manuscripts.
In the world of cultivation, there were many people with photographic memory. There were also people who could forcibly memorize obscure cultivation techniques in a short period of time.
Although it was unlikely that the Star Plucking Sect would take the risk of paying 700,000 Spirit Stones just to spy on their manuscripts, if that were the case, they would be able to buy the manuscripts for 10% of the price. However, Luo Feng couldn't rule out the possibility that the Star Plucking Sect would be forced into a corner. In any case, the loss of spirit stones was already set in stone and couldn't be changed. In that case, they might as well take advantage of the appraisal to memorize the true second volume of the Linlang True Explanation.
Xia Ruofei said calmly, "That's what I wanted to say as well. We have the same idea! After all, our manuscripts are more complete … "
"Hmph! What shameless boasting! "Wu Ming snorted.
Xia Ruofei ignored Wu Ming again and said to Luo Feng, "Since everyone has the same opinion, then take out your manuscripts!"
Luo Feng nodded. He and Xia Ruofei both took out manuscripts at the same time.
Liu Mansha and the others, as well as Shao Qingyang, who was outside the boundary, couldn't help but look at the manuscripts in their hands. When they saw the manuscripts that Xia Ruofei had taken out, their expressions immediately became very interesting.
