"You … you really know how to bully people. Not only did you make that guy bleed, you even scolded him …" Bai Yuhan's flower-like smile revealed a trace of shyness as if she found it difficult to say those two words. It was completely different from her previous valiant self.
"I won't offend people if they don't offend me!" Ling Dong's reply was only eight words. At the end, he added, "Actually, that guy asked for it with his cheap mouth!"
At the mention of the guy with the extremely feminine voice, the smile on Bai Yuhan's face suddenly disappeared and was replaced by worry. "Actually, you were a little rash just now. It's not worth offending this guy with such a deep background for a Mystique Secret Art! "
Hearing Bai Yuhan's words, Ling Dong raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything. He only motioned for Bai Yuhan to continue.
"According to my father, in the Flame Star Auction House, a martial artist who can enter the VIP room usually has a strong background. For example, our Kui Xing Lou can only get a purple VIP card on the seventh floor because our influence is mainly in the Constellation Realm, which is the Star Realm ruled by the Constellation Heaven Lord.
That feminine guy, on the other hand, got a VIP card on the eighth floor. This means that the force behind that guy is definitely a level higher than Kui Xing Lou. Moreover, he called himself 'Marquis' and his tone was arrogant. He didn't seem like he came from a big sect in the Vermilion Bird Star Field, but more like a descendant of the Constellation Heaven Lord.
Moreover, he's an extremely important descendant! Because in the VIP rooms of the Flame Star Auction House, a sect or force can only get one VIP card and one VIP card!
It's unwise to make an enemy out of a descendant who is valued by the Constellation Heaven Lord … "When the last sentence came out, Bai Yuhan's eyes involuntarily revealed a trace of worry.
"Why? Do you think that I should have swallowed my pride and let that kid call out a bid and mess things up?"
Ling Dong's expression turned cold. He suddenly sat up straight and said, "What do you mean by unwise? Retreating from everything, worrying about everything, fearing the wolf in front and the tiger behind. If you only know how to tolerate everything, can you still be called a martial artist? Can you still be called a man? "
"A martial artist's cultivation is to constantly strive for self-improvement and protect oneself! Protect one's family, loved ones, and protect one's freedom, dignity, and courage as a martial artist!
If one had to endure and give in to everything, to give in to everything, to worry about everything, to be afraid of everything, to have no integrity to protect, to have no emotions to protect, to have no people to protect, and to have no conduct to protect, then what could a martial artist, who cultivated in defiance of the Heavens, protect? If that's the case, it's better to go home and farm. It's safer! "
At this point, Ling Dong suddenly stood up. His eyes shone brightly as he said, "For the sake of dignity, freedom, and protection, I will draw my sword and charge forward, even if my blood splashes five steps away, I will not regret it!"
After he finished speaking, Ling Dong's awe-inspiring gaze suddenly changed, becoming as deep as the sea and as clear as a spring. It was as if he had suddenly understood something. He sat down again and murmured, "Protect … protect freedom, glory, family, friends … for the sake of protection …"
As for Bai Yuhan, who was still worried about Ling Dong, her pretty face suddenly revealed a look of shock.
Ling Dong's thunderous and aggressive words were like a reprimand. Since young, when had Bai Yuhan ever been reprimanded so bluntly? The strange thing was, these words did not arouse any dissatisfaction from Bai Yuhan!
Not only did it not arouse any dissatisfaction from Bai Yuhan, but it also made Bai Yuhan's beautiful eyes suddenly shine. She suddenly had a trace of understanding — because Bai Yuhan suddenly realized that she finally found the difference between Ling Dong and the men she had met before.
He did not seek fortune and avoid calamity, but only faced difficulties head-on!
Just like that day in the Star Devil Ruins when he faced Heavenly King Xiong, who had no chance of winning, Ling Dong also faced danger head-on. That was why the two of them had a tacit understanding and worked together to kill Heavenly King Xiong.
That day was just like today. If Ling Dong had silently retreated in the face of that effeminate guy's provocation, even if Bai Yuhan would not have any objections to Ling Dong's choice, Ling Dong's image in Bai Yuhan's heart would have shrunk several times.
At this moment, other than Ling Dong, Bai Yuhan thought of many things. She thought of why her father was so strict with her. She thought of why her father would risk his life to participate in a meaningless battle … She thought of …
She understood that all of this was protection, the protection of a true man's martial arts!
"Thank you!" After pondering for a long time, Bai Yuhan suddenly opened her mouth and said these two words to Ling Dong.
At this moment, Bai Yuhan felt that she had understood many things in an instant. She seemed to have really grown up and even found her own direction because of this! She was no longer purely practicing martial arts to increase her cultivation!
Ling Dong smiled at Bai Yuhan, revealing a mouthful of sparkling white teeth. "Now, we should think about how to spend my 500,000 mid-grade Reiki. It would be a waste to keep it!"
At this moment, in VIP room 17 on the eighth floor, the effeminate man in black robes roared with a twisted expression, "Investigate! Find out the origin of that guy who went against me and the origin of that man and woman who mocked me! Even the Young Lord of the Vermillion Bird Star Monarch's estate has to call me Brother Mo.
Find out if they participated in the Vermillion Bird Star Palace's Millennium Elite Battle. If they did, hmph, this guy actually dared to call me a … an idiot! Damn it! "
The last few words were practically squeezed out from the gaps of the man's teeth. His pair of iron fists were tightly clenched and emitted a terrifying brilliance!
"500,000 mid-grade Reiki. If used for cultivation, it would be a large amount of resources. However, if auctioned here, it would only be half a treasure." Bai Yuhan, who seemed to be thinking about something, casually responded to Ling Dong.
"Yes, that treasure has to tempt me. Unfortunately, the Three Extreme Mystic Pupils that moved me was ruined by that bastard. "Ling Dong said with some regret.
To be honest, when the price exceeded 500,000, Ling Dong already had the intention of giving up. Even if the Three Extreme Mystic Pupils was extremely tempting to Ling Dong, the effeminate man was too arrogant. Not only did he ruin Ling Dong's plan, he even mocked Ling Dong. If Ling Dong didn't make this guy suffer a big loss, then he wouldn't be Ling Dong.
Although Ling Dong had hundreds of years of experience from his previous life, those hundreds of years didn't mean that Ling Dong's edges and edges had been ground away. Those hundreds of years only added a scabbard to Ling Dong's sharp sword, a scabbard that hid its edge!
If there was a time, the sword's light would dazzle the stars!
"There's no need to feel pity. Some things that belong to you will eventually belong to you. If it doesn't belong to him, even if you snatch it for a moment, you won't be able to keep it forever!" Bai Yuhan softly comforted Ling Dong.
However, the words of the speaker were unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Bai Yuhan's words caused Ling Dong to think of an extremely bold idea. However, this idea only circled around Ling Dong's mind once before quickly dispersing.
If it was in the Wood Puppet World, Ling Dong might have taken the risk by relying on the Myriad Stars House's uniqueness. However, here, Ling Dong didn't have the slightest bit of confidence. This was the Vermilion Bird City, the Vermilion Bird Star Mansion that had a Star Monarch expert overseeing it.
The Star Monarch realm was only the minimum requirement to become a Star Monarch of the various star fields. According to Ling Dong's master, Hei Tian, the experts who could snatch the position of Star Monarch of the various star fields had at least stayed in that position for hundreds of years, or even thousands of years!
Just as Ling Dong said, until the end of the auction, Ling Dong didn't come across another treasure that moved him as much as the Three Extreme Mystic Eyes.
Of course, this wasn't absolute. There were two treasures that moved Ling Dong, but Ling Dong directly ignored the auction price of over a million.
Ling Dong didn't care about the cheap items, and Ling Dong couldn't afford the expensive items. Until the end of the auction, Ling Dong had only spent 110,000 mid-grade Reiki to buy a Soul Awakening Pill.
This Soul Awakening Pill was a life-saving pill, and it was also recorded in the Alchemy Jade Scroll that Ling Dong had obtained. Under the Constellation Realm, as long as the head wasn't lost and the astral soul wasn't shattered, taking this pill could heal the injuries of the cultivator's internal organs in an instant. Even a shattered heart could be healed in an instant, ensuring that the cultivator's physical body wouldn't be lost in the midst of life and death!
From this, one could see how precious this Soul Awakening Pill was. And if it weren't for the fact that nine pills were sold consecutively at the Flame Star Auction House, Ling Dong wouldn't have been able to buy this Soul Awakening Pill.
Ling Dong, on the other hand, won the bottle of Yin Yang Spirit Recovery Liquid very easily, spending only 90,000 mid-grade Reiki. The Yin Yang Spirit Recovery Liquid had a very simple function, which was to restore the astral energy cultivation of cultivators under the Constellation Realm.
One drop could fully restore the cultivation of an early stage Astral Transformation Realm cultivator, while a peak Astral Transformation Realm cultivator could only restore 10% of his cultivation. However, even a bottle of 12 drops could only restore 10% of the cultivation of a peak Astral Transformation Realm cultivator.
The price was extraordinarily high. 90,000 mid-grade Reiki was nearly 8,000 mid-grade Reiki per drop. It was a sky-high price among sky-high prices. However, Ling Dong still bought it resolutely.
Not to mention the fact that it couldn't be bought on the market, it couldn't even be found in the elixir stores of the four Martial Cities of the Wood Sprite Realm or the Vermilion Bird City. It only appeared once every ten years at the Flame Star Auction House, so it was an out-and-out treasure.
Especially when Ling Dong used the Five Star Mutual Generation Secret Method, he could instantly consume all the astral energy in the Star Souls involved in the Mutual Generation Secret Method. At this time, the Yin Yang Spirit Recovery Liquid Ling Dong bought came in handy.
Even so, there were only 12 drops in a bottle, so Ling Dong didn't save them.
Bai Yuhan also bid for a secret technique and a Single Soul Restoration Pill.
It was worth mentioning that Ling Dong's Vermilion Bird Battle Talisman was sold for a high price of 340,000 mid-grade Reiki. The price of the materials used by Heavenly King Xiong was also within the normal range, being sold for 170,000 mid-grade Reiki. After deducting the fees of the auction house, Ling Dong received 490,000 mid-grade Reiki!
After this auction, Ling Dong's assets increased from 50,000 mid-grade Reiki to 340,000 mid-grade Reiki. This also gave Ling Dong a solid foundation for his next cultivation plan.
The auction at the Flame Star Auction House finally came to an end at dawn the next day. It had lasted for nearly 20 hours.
"It's over. Let's go back!" When the auction ended, Ling Dong and Bai Yuhan stepped out of the VIP room together. Although they didn't hold hands, they walked very close to each other.
However, the moment Ling Dong stepped out of the VIP room, a murderous aura locked onto Ling Dong's back!
