Wu Ming looked at Luo Feng with an expression as if his father had died.
He usually didn't like Luo Feng. Even though the other party was a Gold Core stage cultivator, Luo Feng was basically Wu Tiancheng's loyal servant inside Spirit Vulture Mountain. Although Wu Ming called Luo Feng "Uncle Feng", he didn't have much respect for Luo Feng.
However, at this time, Wu Ming was at his wit's end and unconsciously treated Luo Feng as his pillar of support.
However, his backbone, Luo Feng, seemed to be absent-minded. He signaled a few times, but Luo Feng ignored him. Luo Feng stared at the simple handwritten manuscript on the coffee table. His expression was very strange, as if he was excited to see a prey, but at the same time, it seemed to be regretful. There was even an unbearable itch in his heart that was scratching his liver.
This was the first time Wu Ming had seen the shrewd Luo Feng reveal such a complicated expression — most of the time, Luo Feng didn't show his emotions on his face.
Wu Ming saw that he couldn't count on Luo Feng for the time being, and Liu Mansha's verification speed was getting faster and faster. The second volume of the manuscript was only a thin volume, and she had already verified more than half of it. He couldn't help but feel anxious.
Just as Liu Mansha was about to turn a page of the manuscript, Wu Ming finally couldn't hold back and called out, "Valley Master Liu, please wait a moment!"
Liu Mansha stopped and glanced at Wu Ming with slight displeasure. "What's the matter?"
Wu Ming was the apple of Wu Tiancheng and his wife's eye. Almost everyone in the cultivation world knew this, but Liu Mansha looked down on this kind of spoiled brat. With her status, she naturally didn't need to be polite to Wu Ming.
Wu Ming braced himself and said, "I saw that Valley Master Liu has already verified more than half of it. I just observed that there are some differences between the two manuscripts …"
"That's because there are missing pages in your manuscript!" Liu Mansha said bluntly. "In addition, Fellow Daoist Xia's manuscript is easier to read. Apart from that, the contents are the same!"
Wu Ming said awkwardly, "Valley Master Liu, that's not what I meant …"
At this point, Wu Ming turned to Xia Ruofei. He didn't dare to act rashly in front of Liu Mansha, and since the bet was between Spirit Vulture Mountain and the Star Seizer Sect, he had nothing to say to Liu Mansha.
Xia Ruofei met Wu Ming's gaze with a faint smile on his face. He asked, "Young Master Wu, what do you mean? Are you trying to say that our Linlang's True Explanation is fake? "
Wu Ming said with a gloomy face, "I don't dare to say whether it's true or not. However, our bet stated that the two manuscripts must be exactly the same. Now, it seems that the contents are not exactly the same! "
"Are you trying to act shamelessly?" Xia Ruofei asked with interest.
"How can you call it cheating?" Wu Ming argued, "I can see that your handwritten copy is not much different from the original. Naturally, I can't say that your copy is fake. But it's also true that there are some discrepancies between them and our manuscripts! So, what I want to say is … why don't we both take a step back and call off the bet! "
Before Xia Ruofei could say anything, Liu Mansha and Luo Feng said in unison, "No!"
Wu Ming wasn't surprised that Liu Mansha stood up to oppose him. After all, Liu Mansha didn't seem to like him very much from the start.
However, what made Wu Ming somewhat incredulous was that Luo Feng actually also objected. Which side was this old man on?
Luo Feng almost blurted out. After he finished speaking, he came back to his senses.
Seeing that Wu Ming's expression had become extremely ugly, Luo Feng hurriedly transmitted his voice, "Young Master, please don't say anything about calling off the bet. Don't say anything and just listen to me …"
Although Wu Ming, this trash, was already at the sixth layer of Qi Refining, who knew how many pills he had taken and how many cultivation resources he had wasted. It could be said that if the resources that Wu Tiancheng and his wife had spent on him were used on a genius disciple of Spirit Vulture Mountain, it might be possible for the sect to have another Golden Core cultivator. Although the probability wasn't high in the current environment, there was still hope.
With Wu Ming's current cultivation level and half-baked voice transmission skills, it was no different from speaking directly to a Golden Core cultivator like Liu Mansha and Luo Qingfeng. Luo Feng couldn't see through Xia Ruofei's cultivation level, so he didn't consider Xia Ruofei to be a Golden Core cultivator for the time being. After all, a twenty-year-old Golden Core cultivator was really a bit too frightening.
Therefore, in order to prevent Wu Ming from being muddle-headed, Luo Feng deliberately sped up his speech. "Young Master, Liu Mansha and Luo Qingfeng aren't fools. Moreover, Shao Qingyang was there as a witness. They know very well whether the contents of the two manuscripts are the same or not. Moreover, we already agreed that if the main contents are the same, it will prove that there's no problem with their manuscripts. Now that you're twisting words and twisting logic to call off the bet, there's no way the Star Seizing Sect will agree. Moreover, you've lost both the person and the battle. Once news of this spreads, Spirit Vulture Mountain's reputation will really hit rock bottom! If Sect Master Wu finds out about this, no matter how much he dotes on you, he'll definitely punish you severely! "
When Wu Ming heard this, he couldn't help but shudder.
Ever since he was young, his parents had spoiled him to the heavens. However, once or twice in a while, when he really got into too much trouble, he was still punished. Whenever he thought of those two experiences, Wu Ming's heart couldn't help but pound.
Luo Feng immediately said, "Young Master! You mustn't be hot-headed. If you lose the spirit stones and can't bid for that treasure, Sect Master Wu will at most reprimand you a little. If you ruin Spirit Vulture Mountain's reputation, then it won't be as simple as a reprimand … "
Wu Ming finally listened. He raised his head to look at the impatient Liu Mansha and the still smiling Xia Ruofei. He said resentfully, "I was just suggesting … Since everyone disagrees, then let's drop the matter. Valley Master Liu, please continue … "
Liu Mansha snorted softly and gracefully flipped to a new page.
Luo Feng, on the other hand, was like a cat that smelled fish. He hurriedly turned his gaze to the newly flipped page.
However, Liu Mansha's movements were very quick. She immediately covered the area with a paperweight and quickly read through it. After confirming that there was no extra content in the Star Harvester Sect's copy due to the missing pages in the Spirit Vulture Mountain's copy, she slowly began to verify each word and sentence.
The private room was very quiet. Luo Qingfeng, who was supposed to be one of the leaders, was completely invisible. Liu Mansha and Luo Feng were both seriously reading the manuscripts. Yangliu was looking around in boredom. As for Wu Ming, his face was alternating between red and white as he stood in a corner. No one knew what he was thinking.
There wasn't much content in the manuscripts. In a short while, Liu Mansha had verified it from beginning to end.
She closed both manuscripts and handed the Star Picking Sect's manuscript, which was obviously better in appearance, to Luo Feng. Then, a playful smile appeared on her face as she asked, "Elder Luo, you've also verified it together. I think there should be no objections to the conclusion, right?"
Luo Feng's face revealed a trace of a bitter smile. He nodded and said, "No objections. Young Sect Master spoke without thinking. Our Spirit Vulture Mountain won't refuse to admit defeat. We've lost this bet … "
Liu Mansha nodded and turned her gaze to Xia Ruofei. She smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Xia, congratulations!"
Xia Ruofei said casually, "What's there to be happy about? This was originally a bet that shouldn't have happened. I don't think the previous auctions didn't have such verification, right?"
Liu Mansha thought to herself, This little fox, he's still pretending to be innocent after getting a bargain!
She smiled and said, "At least you don't have to pay more than 700,000 spirit stones as compensation, and the Star Picking Sect won't go bankrupt! Also … there's a profit of 50,000 spirit stones. Isn't this worthy of congratulations? "
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Valley Master Liu's words are very reasonable. I actually can't refute them!"
After speaking, Xia Ruofei took out another manuscript from the Ring-Tu space. This manuscript was exactly the same style as the one on the tea table, but the small words on the cover had changed to "Volume One".
Xia Ruofei also handed this manuscript to Liu Mansha and said, "This is the content of Volume One. When the two volumes are combined, both Qi Condensation and Golden Core Stage cultivators can cultivate."
Seeing this, Luo Feng's eyes were fixed on the manuscript in Liu Mansha's hand. He almost couldn't help but release his mental strength to spy on it. Fortunately, in the end, his rationality prevailed over his impulse.
Luo Feng reluctantly looked at the two manuscripts, then took out a large bag of spirit stones from his storage magic treasure. He scanned it with his mental strength, took a portion of it, and stored it back in his storage magic treasure. Then, he handed the bag to Xia Ruofei and said, "Fellow Daoist Xia, here are 50,000 spirit stones. We, the Spirit Vulture Mountain, are willing to accept our loss! This manuscript will also be withdrawn from this auction! "
Xia Ruofei took it without hesitation and scanned it with his mental strength. He found that there were exactly 50,000 spirit stones, so he nodded and put the spirit stones away. He smiled and said, "Then it would be impolite of us to refuse!"
Luo Feng's expression was not very good. He gave Wu Ming a look and said, "We'll take our leave first!"
After that, the two of them left the box without looking back. They didn't even pay attention to Shao Qingyang who greeted them. Obviously, the people of the Spirit Vulture Mountain also hated the Falling Leaves Sect.
Shao Qingyang didn't care about this at all. He walked into the boundary with a smile and said, "It seems that there is no problem with the cultivation method! Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Xia and Valley Master Liu. You have finally found an excellent mental strength cultivation method. I think breaking through to the late Golden Core Stage is just around the corner! "
Liu Mansha's weakness in mental strength was basically known to all the famous people in the cultivation world. It was no secret.
Liu Mansha was also in a good mood. She said with a smile, "Then I'll take advantage of Sect Leader Shao's auspicious words!"
Then, Liu Mansha took out more than 70,000 spirit stones from her storage ring and directly completed the transaction with Xia Ruofei for the two manuscripts.
Shao Qingyang had already promised that there would be no commission for this transaction, so Xia Ruofei naturally accepted the spirit stones without hesitation.
Liu Mansha said to Xia Ruofei, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xia. We can communicate again if there is a chance. By the way, if you still want to sell the Qi-gathering Pills, please consider our Soaring Flower Valley first. The price is negotiable!"
Xia Ruofei nodded with a smile and said, "No problem. We should continue to sell Qi-gathering Pills in the future, and the quantity will be even more. When the time comes, we will give Valley Master Liu a discount!"
Liu Mansha laughed and said, "Then I'll thank Fellow Daoist Xia first!"
After saying that, Liu Mansha called out to Yangliu and left Room 20.
After the people from Spirit Vulture Mountain and Soaring Flower Valley left, Shao Qingyang couldn't hold back anymore. He rubbed his hands and looked at Xia Ruofei with a smile and said, "Fellow Daoist Xia, this matter has finally come to a satisfactory conclusion. You see …"
Xia Ruofei naturally knew what Shao Qingyang was concerned about. He smiled and said, "Sect Leader Shao, please come back in fifteen minutes. I will lend you the first volume of the Linlang True Explanation to read for two hours. However, you can only read it in this box and can't take it away. Also, I hope you will keep your promise and not privately impart it to cultivators outside the Fallen Leaves Sect."
"No problem! No problem! "Shao Qingyang was overjoyed and quickly said," Fellow Daoist Xia, this old man will take his leave first! "
Shao Qingyang naturally knew that Xia Ruofei wanted to copy the contents of the first volume again, so he hurriedly took his leave. He naturally wanted to see the cultivation method as soon as possible.
After Shao Qingyang left, Luo Qingfeng immediately went to lock the box door. At the same time, Xia Ruofei set up a protective barrier.
Then, he took out printing paper, a gel pen, a stapler, and other things from the Space and directly bent over the table to write.
The complete contents of the Linlang True Explanation were in his mind, so he didn't need to think or recall anything. It could be said that the faster he wrote, the faster the handwritten copy was produced.
The contents of the first volume weren't much, and there were basically no complicated diagrams. Therefore, Xia Ruofei naturally copied it with great ease and speed.
He could even divert his attention to pay attention to the auction.
At this time, the auction had resumed. Although Hao Qingsong didn't announce the final result of the bet between Spirit Vulture Mountain and the Star Picking Sect, the handwritten copy from Spirit Vulture Mountain had quietly withdrawn from the auction. Moreover, Wu Ming, who had always been overbearing, no longer clamored. Naturally, everyone was well aware of the final result.
At this time, a piece of refining material was being auctioned. There weren't many cultivators competing for it. After all, there weren't many cultivators who studied refining in this era. But even so, the few cultivators who dabbled in refining clearly didn't lack money. Since these people had taken a fancy to this piece of material, the competition was naturally very fierce.
Xia Ruofei wasn't interested in this piece of refining material. He just quickly copied the contents of the first volume of the Linlang True Explanation while paying attention to the auction.
Luo Qingfeng had a bellyful of questions, but seeing how busy Xia Ruofei was, he didn't dare to disturb him. He just sat quietly to the side and occasionally served tea.
Just as Xia Ruofei finished copying the contents of the first volume of the Linlang True Explanation, a new item appeared on the auction stage. It was the pair of storage rings that Xia Ruofei had been waiting for for a long time.
