The Double-Colored Spiritual Nascent Fruit's base price was only 500 high-grade Spirit Stones, but at this moment, it was already worth more than 10,000 high-grade Spirit Stones. This caught everyone by surprise, and they began to wonder if one of the two bidders was deliberately raising the price.
However, if they were deliberately raising the price, what if the one who genuinely wanted to bid for the fruit stopped due to lack of financial resources? Wouldn't the one who raised the price suffer the consequences of his own actions?
"Eldest niece, this is an auction, not a fit of pique. Doesn't it mean that every time you raise the price, you are magnanimous? If he directly bid 100,000 yuan for this Dual-Colored Nascent Fruit, do you think everyone will think that he is magnanimous and not crazy?" Xiao Lingyu said snappily to the little girl.
"12,000 high-grade Spirit Stones!" The young cultivator waved his folding fan and raised the price again.
Xiao Lingyu looked at his storage belt again and could only shake his head helplessly with a bitter smile. The spirit liquid he brought was already barely enough for 10,000 high-grade Spirit Stones, and he could not continue to raise the price.
"12,000 high-grade Spirit Stones, is there anyone else who wants to raise the price?" After a while, the beautiful emcee asked. She was still very happy in her heart, because this kind of price tag could allow her to get a large commission, because the final transaction price was much higher than the lowest price by too much.
"If there is no one else, then I would like to congratulate this young master for obtaining this Double-Colored …"
"100,000 high-grade Spirit Stones!"
Before the beautiful emcee could speak, a clear and sweet voice rang out.
"Whoosh!"
The whole place was filled with the sound of exasperation, and everyone was a little surprised.
10,000 high-grade Spirit Stones for a thousand-year-old Double-Colored Spiritual Nascent Fruit was already a sky-high price, and 100,000 high-grade Spirit Stones was simply too unbelievable.
However, this kind of situation was actually very common at auctions. After all, there was the saying of fighting spirit. Once two rich cultivators got into a fit of pique, it was no longer a matter of Spirit Stones, but a matter of face.
Moreover, 100,000 high-grade Spirit Stones was equivalent to 1,000 supreme-grade Spirit Stones, which was not much for many cultivators in the Body Integration Stage.
"Damn, are you stupid? 100,000 high-grade Spirit Stones? You should think about it again! "
The person who called out the price was Xiao Lingyu's servant girl. She gave Xiao Lingyu a fright.
"I like it. What does it have to do with you?" The little girl said, unconvinced.
"What a wastrel!" Xiao Lingyu said hatefully.
The young cultivator, who had been in high spirits and constantly raised the price by a large margin, now had a much gloomier expression. He narrowed his eyes and looked over. Moreover, he didn't conceal his tyrannical spiritual sense as he swept over.
Spying on the bidders with one's spiritual sense at an auction was a taboo. It would cause dissatisfaction among the participants and the auction organizers, but the young cultivator didn't seem to care about this at all.
"How dare you!"
An old but vigorous voice resounded in the auction hall. An old man with white hair and beard wearing a white robe appeared on the auction stage out of thin air and stood beside the beautiful host.
The old man narrowed his eyes and spoke with a dignified expression, "Your Excellency is quite bold to ignore the rules of the Heaven Dou Auction House. If you have the ability, then come and bid. If you want to show off, then you should first weigh your own strength."
"Hehe, a mere auction house like the Heaven Dou Auction House dares to talk nonsense about rules? What a joke. How can the Taiyi Immortal Sect, the Eight Poles Sword Sect, and the Black Blood Demon endure this?" The young cultivator laughed without the slightest trace of fear.
Xiao Lingyu had read many books in the study and listened to Jiang Lanyue talk about the cultivation world. When she heard the young cultivator's words, her expression changed slightly. The three sects that the young cultivator mentioned were all top-notch powers in the cultivation world. These three powers were virtually invincible in the cultivation world.
The cultivators present were all knowledgeable individuals. The old man who had just appeared was naturally not a mediocre individual. Their reactions were even greater than Xiao Lingyu's. This was especially true for the old man. His aura had already weakened by 30% because of those words.
The Heaven Dou Auction House had some influence and power on the Flying Feather Continent and could be considered a first-rate clan in the cultivation world. But compared to the three top-notch powers, it was far too weak.
"May I ask who you are?" the old man asked.
"I am merely a disciple of the Taiyi Immortal Sect's Daoist Master Yi Pingzi," the young cultivator proudly said. As he spoke, in order to prove his identity, he even took out a token that was enveloped in golden light as soon as it appeared. The two words' Taiyi 'were written on the token.
"So you're a fellow Daoist from the Taiyi Immortal Sect.
My apologies. "The old man cupped his fists and politely said those words before disappearing from the stage. It seemed that he was afraid of the other party's identity and had chosen to retreat.
This was the first time such a situation had occurred at the Heaven Dou Auction House. Disciples of top-notch powers like the Taiyi Immortal Sect rarely came to a remote and desolate place like the Flying Feather Continent.
"Hey, what are you dawdling for? If no one is going to raise the price, then hurry up and deliver the Dual Colored Nascent Fruits to me."
What was even more unexpected was that the little girl didn't show the slightest fear after hearing the other party's identity. Instead, she impatiently urged him on.
"One hundred and two thousand high-grade spirit stones!" Since he had already announced his identity, the young cultivator wouldn't embarrass his sect.
"What a pretentious fellow. I bid two hundred thousand!" the little girl disdainfully said.
"Hmph! I'd like to see how a little girl at the Golden Core stage can come up with two hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones! "It wasn't that the young cultivator couldn't afford to raise the price, but if he did, it wouldn't be worth it.
"A pretty boy who has just advanced to the early-stage of the Body Integration Stage dares to pretend to be a master!" The little girl retorted. Then, she shot a ray of light at the auction stage and said, "Let's see if there are two hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones inside!"
The beautiful auctioneer caught the ray of light and revealed a ring.
Could it be a storage ring? All the cultivators present were shocked. The price of a storage ring was far more than two hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones, not to mention anything else.
But at this moment, everyone overlooked a problem. How could a little girl at the Golden Core stage see through someone who had just advanced to the early-stage of the Body Integration Stage? However, the young cultivator didn't overlook this problem. He cautiously looked at the little girl in surprise.
"There are no less than a million high-grade spirit stones in this storage ring …"
At this point, the beautiful host habitually paused for a moment.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Since there were a million high-grade spirit stones, it was naturally enough.
"There are no less than a million high-grade spirit stones!"
However, the beautiful auctioneer's next words silenced everyone. A million high-grade spirit stones wasn't that rich. Many of the cultivators present could afford it, but a million high-grade spirit stones was a huge number.
"Are you really at the Golden Core stage?" Xiao Lingyu's first reaction was to ask the little girl such a question. It was probably the same question that all the cultivators present were asking.
"Why? Can't a Golden Core stage cultivator have a million high-grade spirit stones?" the little girl asked.
Xiao Lingyu and all the cultivators present had the urge to vomit blood. However, the young Taiyi Immortal Sect disciple's face was as ugly as a pig's liver. He thought that it was a great fortune to find the Double-Color Nascent Soul Fruit here. He never expected to meet such a little girl.
The beautiful auctioneer was in a dilemma. The old man's departure made it clear to her that this Taiyi Immortal Sect disciple couldn't be offended. However, this little girl didn't seem to be easy to deal with either. She hated that she didn't prepare two Double-Color Nascent Soul Fruits.
The young Taiyi Immortal Sect disciple didn't make things difficult for the beautiful auctioneer. After getting the answer, he left in a huff. The Double-Color Nascent Soul Fruit naturally belonged to the little girl.
The auction continued. Xiao Lingyu didn't get the Double-Color Nascent Soul Fruit and naturally lost interest. However, he wasn't too disappointed. After all, he was still a distance away from the Chaotic Nascent Soul stage. He might be able to find other Double-Color Nascent Soul Fruits in the future. He didn't expect the little girl to give him the Double-Color Nascent Soul Fruit that cost 200,000 high-grade spirit stones.
Even if the little girl gave the Double-Color Nascent Soul Fruit to Xiao Lingyu, he wouldn't accept it. It wasn't that he was pretentious, but he couldn't see through the little girl. He didn't dare to accept her favor casually. Everything was easy to return, but favors were the hardest to return.
Therefore, he left the auction house soon after, but the little girl didn't follow him out.
"It seems that she really didn't follow me on purpose." Xiao Lingyu shook his head and smiled after walking out of the auction house.
Since the auction was over, his goal for this trip was more than half completed. Xiao Lingyu didn't immediately leave Taiyang City. Instead, he began to inquire about and continued to search for some materials for refining weapons or elixir pills.
After three days, Xiao Lingyu was extremely disappointed that he didn't find any news about Earth, nor did he find any news about the other earthlings who were moved to the Feiyu Continent. This gave him a bad premonition. Could it be that he was the only one who was moved to the Feiyu Continent, and the other earthlings were moved to other Cultivation Continents?
If that was really the case, Xiao Lingyu wanted to find his relatives and friends, who he didn't know if they were still alive, like a mortal searching for a needle in a haystack. Even the top experts in the Cultivation World would frown and be troubled by this, let alone his current cultivation level.
Xiao Lingyu, who had a lot on his mind, didn't realize that someone had been watching him for the past three days. The other party's cultivation level was far higher than his, so he couldn't detect that the other party was following him.
After inquiring for another day, Xiao Lingyu finally headed to the city gate of Taiyang City, preparing to return to the herb garden to continue cultivating.
However, just as he reached the city gate, he bumped into the little girl again.
"Are you going out of the city?" the little girl asked Xiao Lingyu.
"I know. You must be going out of the city too. Maybe we'll even go the same way," Xiao Lingyu said calmly.
"You guessed it right!" the little girl said, pretending to be surprised.
Xiao Lingyu rolled his eyes, then asked straightforwardly, "Why are you always following me? You're so rich, so you definitely won't covet those lousy things in my storage belt. Don't tell me you're coveting my beauty?"
"Someone like you can call yourself beautiful? But if I really wanted to take advantage of you, what would you do? "the little girl showed a disdainful expression, then asked curiously.
"I'll try to resist first," Xiao Lingyu said seriously after thinking for a while.
"What if you can't resist?" the little girl continued asking.
"Since I can't resist, then I'll just lie down and enjoy it!" Xiao Lingyu replied with a smile, then strode out of the city.
