The two were conversing through telepathy. Most people would not notice if they did not pay attention.
However, Qin Fen had been paying attention to the Immortal Gourd and Dominating Furnace Trading Company's movements. Therefore, he heard every word of their conversation.
"Six million spiritual stones!"
"Seven million spiritual stones!"
…
"Ten million spiritual stones and a pink flying sword!"
The eighty-eight furnaces attracted the attention of many cultivators. In just half an incense stick's time, the price had reached ten million spiritual stones.
However, Mu He had yet to make a bid. He was waiting for the small fries to compete with each other for a few rounds. He wanted to scare off some of the weaker competitors before making the final bid.
However, plans could never keep up with the changes. When the price rose to within the range of Mu He and Mu Feng's expectations, a voice suddenly rang out, shocking the crowd.
"Fifty million high-grade spiritual stones!"
…
Whoosh!
The crowd on the square was in an uproar!
The few cultivators who were still arguing with each other shut their mouths and looked at Qin Fen in disbelief.
For an ordinary cultivator, a cultivation furnace would not be of much use. Only a sect or an individual who practiced a special cultivation method could use a cultivation furnace to advance quickly.
Therefore, the price of furnaces in the Divine Continent had always been stagnant. Furnaces were usually used by cultivators with low cultivation such as True Spirit or Hollow God Realm cultivators. How could they be easily captured and used as furnaces?
When Qin Fen raised the price from ten million to fifty million, it was enough to shock the crowd.
"It's that bastard with the surname Qin. He must be going against us. I'm so angry." Mu He's face darkened.
Mu Feng rolled his eyes. He was a Body Condensation Stage cultivator, but he was so angry at Qin Fen's actions that his mind was in chaos.
After a moment of silence, Supervisor Huo stood up and shouted, "Is there anyone who can bid higher than that cultivator?"
However, no one bid. Qin Fen's method of raising the price was too fierce. Many people were still in a daze.
Seeing that the eighty-eight furnaces were about to fall into Qin Fen's hands, Mu He looked at Mu Feng anxiously and asked, "Senior Brother, what should we do now?"
"Hmph! What else can we do? Compete with him! "Mu Feng's expression was cold.
Mu He said with a bitter expression, "Senior Brother, that ant doesn't need a Human Furnace at all. He's obviously trying to trick us. I'm sure that as long as we increase the price, he will continue to increase it."
Mu Feng glared at him and reprimanded, "We are disciples of a dignified six-star sect, the Immortal Gourd. How can we be afraid of that ant? Let him increase the price. I want to see how much wealth he has. Even if we suffer a loss for now, we must kill that ant after the auction is over. At that time, we will take back all the money we lost from him. "
Mu He's eyes lit up, and all the worries in his heart disappeared. He shouted, "15,000,000 Spirit Stones and two Powder Equipment."
The plaza was in an uproar again. Mu He's price had changed their perception of him once again. Wasn't it just 88 furnaces? Was there a need to call out such a high price?
"You don't know yet, but the young cultivator who bid ten million has a grudge against Elder Mu He of the Celestial Gourd. Three days ago, they almost fought at the Dominating Heaven Furnace Trading Company. Later, a disciple of the Celestial Gourd challenged that young cultivator and was instantly killed …"
"I see! I was wondering how a mere 88 furnaces could reach a price of more than 10,000,000 Spirit Stones. It turns out that it's not just an auction, but a battle between the two parties. "
"That young man's cultivation is only at the Peak True Spirit Realm. How dare he challenge Elder Mu He's authority? The Divine Continent is really full of ants who don't know what's good for them. "
"Haha! There's going to be a good show. I'm going to place a bet on how high they will raise the price. The odds are 3: 1 if it's less than 50,000,000 Spirit Stones, and 1: 5 if it's more than 50,000,000 Spirit Stones. Is there anyone who wants to bet? "
The atmosphere in the plaza was extremely lively. The cultivators who were watching were even more excited than Qin Fen and Mu He.
When Mu He shouted 15,000,000 Spirit Stones, he immediately looked at Qin Fen with an arrogant and playful expression. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Qin Fen's indifferent voice saying, "15,000,000 Spirit Stones and three Powder Equipment."
The smile on Mu He's face instantly froze. Even though he knew that Qin Fen was going against the Celestial Gourd, Qin Fen's action of only adding 100,000 Spirit Stones on purpose was too provocative.
"Grandson with the surname Qin, don't look for trouble. Be careful or you'll lose your life." Mu He scolded.
Qin Fen said indifferently, "The Eighty Mile City's auction is fair and open. Are you not going to let others raise the price? Of course, you're from the South Flat Continent's Six-star Sect, the Celestial Gourd. I'm just a lone cultivator and I don't dare to say anything. If you're threatening me, then I'll withdraw … "
Mu He was stunned. Based on his understanding of Qin Fen, this kid was completely fearless. Why did he suddenly change and scare him away with just a few words?
But in the next second, Mu He understood that Qin Fen wasn't afraid of anything. He was just digging a pit for him to jump into.
Instantly, several powerful divine senses swept over Mu He. He even felt the air around him solidifying. His body felt like it was pressed down by a mountain and he couldn't move.
The four divine senses came from the four Great Protectors of the Eighty Mile City. It was said that the four of them were Cauldron Filling Realm almighties. Mu He almost fainted from being stared at by four Cauldron Filling Realm almighties at the same time.
"How dare you! You dare to cause trouble in the Eighty Mile City's auction? Do you believe that I won't destroy you with one palm? "Xin Hai's cold and majestic voice resounded through the entire plaza.
Mu He was so scared that his body trembled. It was difficult for him to even speak.
Even Mu Feng panicked. As he cursed Mu He for being an idiot, he immediately cupped his hands and said, "Seniors, you've misunderstood. I, the Celestial Gourd Absolute, have no intention of causing trouble in the eighty mile city. It's also my junior brother's fault for being too rash. I hope seniors can forgive us. We'll strictly follow the rules of the eighty mile city."
"Hmph! Since it's your first time, I'll let it go. If you dare to threaten me again, don't blame me for bullying you. " Xin Hai's voice was still echoing in the plaza, but his dazzling figure had already disappeared into the sky.
Mu He and Xin Hai heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Qin Fen viciously.
"What are you standing there for? Continue bidding with that bastard. We must get those 88 cauldrons. This concerns the Celestial Gourd's dignity," Mu Feng said telepathically.
Mu He didn't dare to delay and immediately raised the price, "20 million spirit stones for three powder set spiritual equipment."
Almost at the same time, Qin Fen also raised the price, "20.1 million spirit stones for four powder set spiritual equipment."
…
"50 million spirit stones for three scarlet magic equipment."
"50.1 million spirit stones for four scarlet magic equipment."
The price kept rising. Qin Fen only raised the price by 100,000 spirit stones each time and then added a spiritual equipment. This was a very provocative behavior. Soon, all the cultivators in the plaza understood what was going on.
"Haha! That young man is so interesting. He's going to piss off the two elders of the Celestial Gourd. "
"Young cultivators these days don't use their brains. They're only looking for a moment of pleasure, but they don't care about the consequences … That cultivator reached the peak of the True Spirit Realm at such a young age. He's also a genius cultivator. Unfortunately, he's going to die soon."
"Eighty-eight cauldrons sold for 50 million spirit stones. He's really trying to save face."
At this moment, Mu He and Mu Feng's faces were as black as the bottom of a pot. Their faces seemed to have swollen from anger.
"Senior brother, we can't go on like this." Mu He stopped raising the price.
Mu Feng said, "This damned ant, don't ever fall into my hands. I'm going to pull out his tendons, peel off his skin, and turn him into an immortal cauldron. He'll be invaded by spiritual insects every day and suffer a fate worse than death …"
Under Mu Feng's seemingly amiable and righteous appearance, there was an incomparably cruel and dark heart. He continued, "Directly raise the price to 100 million spirit stones. When he continues to raise the price, then you can withdraw from the auction … This old man wants to see how that ant will get 100 million spirit stones. At that time, if he can't hand over the spirit stones, there's no need for us to do anything. The protectors of the eighty mile city will first kill him."
Mu Feng changed his strategy at the last minute. Mu He's eyes lit up and he regained his spirit.
"Senior brother, are you sure you want to do this? What if I raise the price to 100 million and that bastard doesn't follow? "
"That won't happen. Looking at how confident he was before, 100 million is just the beginning. He's sure that we won't back down. Then we'll beat him at his own game."
After the two had reached an agreement, Mu He shouted, "100 million high grade spirit stones and three low grade spiritual weapons."
Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd went into an uproar.
The large-scale auction in the eighty mile city was also halfway through, but there were very few treasures that could be sold for more than a hundred million spirit stones. No one thought that a mere eighty-eight cultivation furnaces could be sold for a sky-high price of a hundred million spirit stones. Were the two elders of the Immortal Gourd Sect stupid?
However, aside from the 100 million spirit stones, the three low grade spiritual weapons were even more exaggerated. If converted, they would be worth at least 300 million spirit stones. Moreover, they were treasures that were priceless.
Mu He didn't care about the crowd's shock. After he raised the price, he waited anxiously for Qin Fen's voice. Previously, every time he raised the price, Qin Fen's voice would follow. However, this time, the situation was not good. Qin Fen didn't raise the price.
"Qin, why aren't you raising the price?"
After waiting for a dozen seconds, Mu He couldn't help but ask in panic.
Qin Fen's face was full of smiles. He heard the conversation between Mu Feng and Mu He. How could he continue to raise the price?
"It's none of your business whether I raise the price or not. You threatened me to back out of the auction. Are you trying to force me to raise the price now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful divine sense swept over Mu He. When that powerful and familiar aura surrounded him, Mu He was so scared that he almost knelt down.
"I, I didn't mean it like that." Mu He felt wronged. He didn't dare to offend Xin Hai.
"That's for the best. If you don't like me, just say it. If you can't, just hit me. I promise I won't fight back." Qin Fen smiled.
"…"
Mu He and Mu Feng rolled their eyes. Fighting in the city? Do you think we're stupid?
