Xu Wumian wanted to cry but no tears came out.
If only Xing Kun Sect had the recipe for the Spirit Surge Pill. Why would he be tricked by a mere bottle of Spirit Surge Pill?
At this moment, Xu Wumian hated the bastard who used the Xing Kun Smith Workshop to auction the Spirit Surge Pill. If he knew his identity, he would definitely kill him.
However, now was not the time to talk about revenge. The most important thing was to clear up everyone's misunderstanding of Xing Kun Sect. But Xu Wumian knew that no matter how he explained, no one would believe him.
"Senior Xin Hai, Xing Kun Sect still has some business to take care of, I must return to the sect immediately …" Xu Wumian planned to take the Spirit Surge Pill and run.
Yin Fei and Hai Qiji stared at him coldly like he was a piece of fat meat that was about to fly away. Xin Hai's expression remained calm as he waved his hand and said, "Whether you stay or leave is your own choice. The four protectors of the 80 Mile City will not force you to stay."
Xu Wumian sighed in relief. He wasn't afraid of the hundreds of thousands of cultivators on the square, he was more worried that the protectors of the 80 Mile City would target the Spirit Surge Pill. This was the territory of the 80 Mile City, if Xin Hai and the other protectors wanted the Spirit Surge Pill, Xu Wumian wouldn't be able to resist.
"Apologies fellow cultivators, I'll be leaving first!"
Xu Wumian clasped his hands and disappeared on his flying sword. He didn't plan on leaving the 80 Mile City right away. He wanted to send the news of the Spirit Surge Pill back to Xing Kun Sect and wait for the sect leader's arrangements.
Xu Wumian's departure caused a wave of sighs in the square. This meant that a bottle of Spirit Surge Pill had flown away just like that.
The auction continued as normal. However, many cultivators were still immersed in the excitement of the Spirit Surge Pill and didn't care about the items being auctioned.
This was what Qin Feng wanted to achieve. Even though he was at Nihility God Realm Level 3, he wasn't confident that he could take on Xing Kun Sect, the Immortal Gourd, and the Dominating Heaven Furnace Trading Company at the same time. Plus, he had to bring his father and grandfather with him.
Now that the news of Xing Kun Sect hiding the Spirit Surge Pill had spread like wildfire, Xu Wumian was under a lot of pressure. He couldn't even take care of his own matters, how could he have the time to deal with Qin Feng?
As such, Qin Feng's only enemies were the Celestial Gourd and the Dominating Heaven Furnace Firm.
As for Mu Feng and Mu He in the Immortal Gourd, he wasn't afraid of them. The Dominating Heaven Furnace Firm would at most send out Kylio and Hai Meng, but they wouldn't be able to threaten Qin Feng.
Qin Feng didn't have much hope for the large auction in the 80-kilometer city. Just as he was about to sneak away, the Spirit Seeking Bug in the System gave off a strong response.
"Little Pig, what treasure did the Spirit Seeking Bug find?"
Qin Fen immediately stopped. After several treasure hunts, he was already very optimistic about the Spirit Seeking Bug's treasure hunting ability. Even the Mountain of Life was sensed by the Spirit Seeking Bug.
"I don't know exactly what treasure it is, but judging from the Spirit Seeking Bug's intense reaction, it should be a very powerful treasure," Little Pig said excitedly.
Qin Feng immediately looked in the direction the Spirit Seeking Bug was sensing. His gaze fell on the auction stage. At this moment, a new item was pushed onto the stage. It was a long and wide ruler.
The ruler was made of some unknown material. It was jet-black and looked like a piece of broken stone. The treasure sensed by the Spirit-seeking Bug was that broken stone.
"What the hell is this? Why is a broken stone being auctioned? What a waste of everyone's time. "
"How many items are there in the 80-kilometer city's auction? Is there a treasure more amazing than the Spirit Charging Pill? "
"The following items are all personal items. I don't think there will be any treasures. Everyone, let's go."
The stone was placed on the display shelf, causing everyone to ridicule it.
Director Huo said with an awkward expression, "Everyone, please calm down. This item was put up for auction by a wandering cultivator. According to the registration information, that wandering cultivator doesn't know what it is. It might be a rare treasure … The starting price is 100,000 high quality spirit stones. Each increment must be no less than 10,000 spirit stones."
When it came to rare treasures, everyone naturally understood.
Rare treasures were like miraculous pills; they were rare treasures. However, true rare treasures were very difficult to distinguish. It was possible that you wouldn't recognize it even if it was placed in front of you.
Every year in the 80-kilometer city, there would be some wandering cultivators who put up rare treasures for auction. They didn't even know what those items were. They just came to try their luck. Maybe some powerful cultivators would recognize it and buy it at a high price …
In the beginning, when rare treasures were put up for auction, everyone fought fiercely. However, after a few years of auction, everyone found that many of those so-called rare treasures were useless. Therefore, the popularity of rare treasures gradually died down. Now, the starting price of rare treasures was only 100,000 spirit stones.
When Director Huo shouted the starting price, the square became unusually quiet. Any previous auction item would attract many cultivators to bid for it. However, at this time, no one wanted the stone on the stage.
"Using such a rare treasure to cheat people? Do you think we're stupid? "
"What the hell is that thing? It looks like a ruler, but it's made of stone. What can it be used for? It can't even chop firewood. "
"Director Huo, let's move on to the next auction item. No one will want this broken stone."
The square was filled with shouts. Director Huo's face was full of embarrassment. Just as he was about to change the next item, a sudden voice came from the crowd.
"110,000 spirit stones."
Hundreds of thousands of gazes swept towards the source of the voice. They wanted to see which idiot cultivator wanted to spend 100,000 spirit stones to buy a broken stone. When they saw the face of the cultivator who shouted the bid, many people came to a sudden realization.
The one who called out the bid was the young cultivator who had bid against the immortal gourd for 88 cultivation furnaces not long ago. Later, he had even publicly questioned the Grand Elder of Star Kun Sect about the Spirit Surge Pill. In the eyes of everyone, these two actions were very idiotic. He had offended two six-star sects for no reason.
Many cultivators had long suspected that there was something wrong with Qin Fen's brain. Seeing that it was him who stood up to shout the price, it was understandable.
Qin Fen couldn't be bothered with everyone's discussion. He was worried about another matter.
Although he couldn't see what the stone was, since the Spirit-Seeking Bug showed such a strong reaction, it meant that it was a rare treasure.
Qin Fen was afraid that some almighty would also see the treasure. If there was really a Cauldron Filling State almighty who jumped out to bid, Qin Fen wondered if he should withdraw.
However, after a while, he realized that he seemed to be thinking too much. There were no other cultivators who were interested in that broken stone with the shape of a ruler.
"Is there anyone else who wants to bid for this treasure? Don't be fooled by its appearance. It looks just like a broken stone. Maybe there is an unknown treasure hidden inside. "
Director Huo tried to confuse the crowd again. After all, the final price of 110,000 spirit stones was too low. Not to mention the fact that the 80 mile city basically wouldn't get any money, just the news of it would be embarrassing enough.
However, his words were useless. Most of the cultivators in the square had come to the 80 mile city's auction before. Director Huo also said the same thing in the previous auctions. He didn't even change his words.
"120,000 high-grade spirit stones."
However, just as Director Huo was about to close the deal, another voice suddenly came out.
Everyone immediately looked over and saw that it was Tyrannical Furnace Firm's Kirio who was bidding.
Not long ago, Tyrannical Furnace Firm sold the 88 Human Furnaces for 100 million high-grade spirit stones and three low-grade True Artifacts. It could be said that they made a lot of money. After that, Mu Feng and Mu He tried to bargain with Kirio but were mercilessly rejected.
When Qin Fen saw Kirio come out to bid, he immediately understood the other party's intention.
With Kirio's experience, it was impossible for him to recognize the mystery of the stone. Moreover, he deliberately increased the price by 10,000 spirit stones. This was clearly going against him.
Qin Fen knew that if he increased the price again, the other party would also increase the price. He had used this trick on Mu He and Mu Feng not long ago, but he didn't expect that he would be counterattacked.
However, he couldn't back down. Otherwise, he might miss out on a treasure.
After some careful consideration, Qin Fen shouted again: "I didn't expect Tyrannical Furnace Firm's Elder Kirio to also have his eyes on this treasure. However, I advise you to withdraw as soon as possible because I am determined to obtain this treasure!"
Kirio was furious in front of everyone: "You ant cultivator, do you know how to speak? This old man's name is Kirio, don't call me that if you don't know me. "
Qin Fen was deliberately angering him to make him lose his mind. As if he couldn't see the other party's anger, he laughed and said: "Elder Kirio, why are you so angry? Of course I know your name is Kirio, but don't you think it's very intimate for me to call you Kirio?"
"… …" Kirio.
A burst of laughter came from the square.
"You ant, besides being good at arguing, what other skills do you have? This old man is too lazy to talk nonsense with you. Are you going to increase the price or not? "Kirio was angry.
Qin Fen looked at him with a smile and said: "Of course I will increase the price. I just said that this treasure is a peerless treasure. No matter how much you increase it, I will accompany you to the end … How about this, not long ago your Tyrannical Furnace Firm made a lot of money. Let's play a bit bigger and increase the price by 10 million spirit stones. How about it?"
"I bid 10 million high grade spirit stones."
When Qin Fen's words fell, the square burst into an uproar!
Everyone had seen rich cultivators, but they had never seen a cultivator as rich as Qin Fen.
In the eyes of everyone, Qin Fen couldn't even be described as rich. This guy spending 10 million spirit stones to buy a broken stone was simply an idiotic action.
When the bid of 10 million was shouted, Qin Fen looked at Kirio with a playful expression. However, Kirio's expression became even more proud as he faced the sky and laughed: "Haha! Surnamed Qin grandson, do you really think this old man is an idiot? You want to bid 10 million for a broken stone? Are you out of your mind? Since you have so much money, this old man will let you have it. That broken stone is yours … Hahaha! "
So it turned out that Kirio deliberately dug a pit for Qin Fen. This trick was exactly the same as when Qin Fen cheated the Immortal Gourd.
However, Qin Fen was sneering in his heart. How could he not see through Kirio's thoughts? He deliberately raised the price of the stone from 100,000 to 10 million just to trick Kirio into leaving.
To any cultivator in the square, spending 10 million spirit stones to buy a piece of trash was absolutely an idiotic action. However, only Qin Fen firmly believed that spending 10 million spirit stones was worth it. Let alone 10 million, if Kirio still wanted to increase the price, Qin Fen would definitely fight to the end.
