There wasn't much suspense. In the end, the 2,000 best-grade Spirit Stones were bought by Qiu Wuyuan at a price of 40 million top-grade Spirit Stones. No one was surprised. After all, Qiu Wuyuan was the one who shouted the loudest when they were going to auction it together. Obviously, he had long wanted to buy it. However, the reaction of Fuxian Island surprised everyone. They were quite negative when they shouted the price.
Normally, the amount of spiritual energy in a piece of supreme-grade spirit stone should be about the same as that of ten thousand high-grade spirit stones. Doubling the price was indeed a bit too much, but this thing was very rare. It was unknown how many years it had been since it appeared in the Cultivation World. This kind of thing was definitely not available to ordinary disciples. Only those elders with high prestige in the sect were qualified to enjoy it.
Ordinary magic treasures couldn't be shared with everyone. On the contrary, this thing was the most popular among the elders. After all, no matter which sect the elders were from, the supply of Spirit Stones was limited. No matter how much they had, they couldn't go too far. If they gave tens of thousands of top-grade Spirit Stones to each elder, even if they didn't say it, they would definitely have a lot of complaints in their hearts.
But this thing was different. It couldn't be given to all disciples, could it? Big sects had a lot of disciples. Even if you split each top-grade spirit stone into several pieces, it still wouldn't be enough. Those who were qualified to enjoy it were naturally those with high prestige and high positions. Therefore, this thing was really the best item for bribery. Whoever brought it back would be guaranteed to gain both fame and fortune, and everyone would praise them.
Yue Qianchou, who was below the stage, was very angry. In the previous rounds of auction, he had taken out nearly 8,000 best-grade Spirit Stones, which was equivalent to nearly 80 million top-grade Spirit Stones. In this auction, the price had doubled. In other words, the best-grade Spirit Stones he had taken out were worth more than 150 million top-grade Spirit Stones. So much money had been earned by others. He was like an idiot. He had to suffer in silence. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't angry.
Originally, he was thinking that he had disrupted the auction and felt a little guilty. Right now, the Wu Clan had made a huge profit, and it was much better than the commission from the auction. It was likely that the rest of the supreme-grade spirit stones had fallen into the Wu Clan's pocket.
Wu Sihai didn't expect the price to be doubled. In this way, he felt a little sorry for Yue Qianchou. It was like slapping Yue Qianchou's face and treating him like an idiot. Although he was thinking about it, he didn't show anything wrong on his face. He calmly ended the grand auction and welcomed everyone to the other free auctions.
After the auction was over, those who left were naturally the four buyers who had obtained their treasures. After each of them claimed their treasures with their tokens, Dongfang Chang 'ao and Qiu Wuyuan walked out of the auction house calmly because they had already revealed themselves. Even if everyone knew that these two people had treasures and a huge amount of wealth, who would dare to rob them?
As for the other buyers, the Wu Clan arranged for them to enter the Wu Clan through the secret passage. Then, they returned to their real bodies and quietly crossed the river to the "Hat Island". No one knew who the second buyer was. As for Yue Qianchou, naturally, after exiting the secret passage, he directly returned to the "Jingke House" in a huff.
When Bi Zicong and the others returned to the "Jingke House" from the "Hat Island", they all surrounded Yue Qianchou and looked at him. They all knew that he was rich, but they didn't expect him to be so rich. Wu Lixue, on the other hand, tilted her beautiful head and kept looking at him. She was thinking about a question that she didn't know when she would be able to figure out — how could he be so rich!
Yue Qianchou leaned on a chair and rolled his eyes at them. He said unhappily, "Don't disturb me. I'm annoyed!"
They smiled and didn't say anything. Then, they heard a voice from outside, "What are you annoyed about? Is it because of those supreme-grade spirit stones? "
Outside the garden, Wu Sihai walked in alone with a smile on his face. All the juniors hurriedly bowed to him. He waved his hand at them and looked at Yue Qianchou, who was sitting motionlessly on the chair. The latter was angry because of him, so he wouldn't greet him.
"What? You're so angry that I took out the supreme-grade spirit stones that you paid for and auctioned them? "Wu Sihai laughed.
"Yo!" Yue Qianchou stood up and rolled his eyes. "It seems like you already knew it was me! No wonder you're so unscrupulous! "
"What? That supreme-grade spirit stone is yours? "Wu Licheng exclaimed. The others also looked at Yue Qianchou in shock. How many secrets did this guy have?
"Alright, this is not the place to talk. Yue Qianchou, and the rest of you, follow me to the Elder Conference Hall," Wu Sihai said with a serious face. He then added, "Xue Er, stay here."
"Oh!" Wu Lixue felt wronged. It couldn't be helped. That was the family rule. Women were not allowed to enter the Elder Conference Hall.
They turned around and left. Suddenly, a certain someone pretended not to hear them. Wu Licheng walked over and pulled Yue Qianchou's arm, "Let's go! Let's go! "
"What! Can you be more polite … Don't drag it, I have something to do … "Yue Qianchou struggled. Bi Zicong came over and clamped his other arm, "Stop nagging. What can you do?"
Tan Fei and Jing Zuo rolled up their sleeves and wanted to hug his leg. They wanted to carry him away. Wu Sihai turned around and smiled at the young people. He was happy for their friendship.
"I'll go by myself. I'll go by myself. Damn it! Why is the Wu Clan like a den of thieves? " Yue Qianchou, who escaped from the clutches of the young people, said angrily, "Wait a minute. I still have something that I haven't given to Wu Lixue."
He took out a red and black object from his storage bag and gave it to Wu Lixue. It was the so-called 'Vermillion Bird Egg' that he bought with 300,000 top-grade spirit stones. Wu Lixue took it and hugged it in her arms. She peeked at her grandfather secretly.
Wu Sihai frowned, "Xue Er! What's going on? "
Wu Licheng quickly took over the topic and explained. After listening, he looked at Yue Qianchou and didn't say anything else. If it was in the past, he would definitely scold his granddaughter for accepting 300,000 top-grade spirit stones. However, it was a different story for Yue Qianchou. Moreover, 300,000 was just a drop in the ocean for him!
With Wu Sihai leading the way, the group of six arrived at the back of the Wu Clan. It was the Wu Clan's ancestral hall, which was also the Wu Clan's elders' meeting hall. Bi Zicong and the others also felt strange. Why would Wu Sihai bring an outsider like Yue Qianchou to such a place?
Yue Qianchou looked around along the way. He didn't seem to care, but he was actually looking around carefully. He noticed that the surroundings were loose on the outside but tight on the inside. The security was very tight. It was worthy of being the Wu Clan's important place.
After entering the Wu Clan's ancestral hall, Wu Sihai dismissed the irrelevant people and led them to the main hall. Yue Qianchou immediately saw many memorial tablets on the wooden table in the middle. It was obvious that they were the memorial tablets of the Wu Clan's deceased clansmen. He couldn't help but mumble, "Why did this old man bring me here?"
Looking further up, there was a portrait hanging on the wall above the wooden table with many memorial tablets. The portrait was of an elegant old man wearing a plain robe. He was standing on a cliff with his hands behind his back. He was slightly tilting his body and looking at the stars in the sky. The old man's otherworldly and aloof aura was vividly displayed on the paper. Especially the night scene depicted on the white paper and black ink, it was very admirable. The entire portrait was drawn very vividly, and it was obvious that a lot of effort was put into it. There were a few lines of small words at the corner of the portrait. Yue Qianchou couldn't help but look at them carefully.
Wu Sihai was the first to offer an incense stick, followed by Wu Licheng and the others. They respectfully knelt down and inserted the incense sticks into the incense burner. When Bi Zicong saw Yue Qianchou looking around with a doubtful expression, he smiled and walked over with an incense stick. "The main hall is the portrait of my ancestor. Brother Yue, why don't you offer an incense stick as a token of respect?"
However, he saw Yue Qianchou staring at the portrait with his mouth wide open. What did he see? He was stunned by the few lines of words at the corner of the portrait. It was written as follows: "The wise sages often said, 'If the heavens have feelings,' I was not confused back then. Now that I am older, I can understand some profound meaning after thinking about it. But it is too late! Deep regret! Hence, I left behind the portrait of the wise sage, Bi Changchun, for the future generations to admire. Tan Xiu's writing. "
