"Haha, things are getting more interesting now."
When the young man on the third floor heard Linley's bid, his interest was immediately piqued, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face. But often, people like him were the most frightening.
"Four million five hundred thousand, is there anyone who wants to bid higher?"
The auctioneer, Wan Ling 'er, also had a puzzled expression because she knew that Lin Ray was the one who put this item up for auction, but what was the situation now?
"Hmph, don't think that you are the only one with money. I don't believe that I can't beat you, outsider."
Thus, the man in room 213 stood up and shouted towards the window: "Five million, hmph, I don't believe that the current you still wants to bid higher."
The youth's voice directly entered Lin Ray's ears. This action was, without a doubt, a provocation towards Lin Ray.
"Ah, how interesting. Then I will also bid higher. Six million."
"Wow!" The youth on the third floor made everyone in the House of Ten Thousand Treasures completely dumbfounded. They didn't know if they were auctioning the Cinnabar Fruit or if they were just venting their anger.
"Okay, then I will bid higher until the end. Seven million!"
"Boom!" Everyone's brain began to short-circuit. Moreover, there were people who directly fainted from the shock of this number.
"You …"
Hearing Linley's words, the young man in room 213 immediately stood up from his chair. He stared at Linley and the third floor with a murderous look on his face, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Hmph, if you don't have money, then just say it. We didn't force you to bid higher. Isn't it just an auction? Is there a need to be so angry?"
When Lin Ray heard the youth's words, he knew that the youth was very angry. If he was given a knife, then he would really kill him.
"Yes, this brother is right. Isn't it just an auction? If you don't have money, then don't have money. There is no need to be so anxious!"
Although he said this, these words completely distorted the original meaning in the youth's ears. They all turned into mockery, but this was the truth. His only goal was to make the youth continue to bid higher.
"Eight million!"
When this price was shouted out, everyone was shocked. Normally, this price would be the entire income of an ordinary sect for three years. Who would have thought that this young man would bid so much for a Vermillion Fruit?
In fact, the moment the young man shouted, he immediately regretted it. However, it was already a foregone conclusion and there was no way to change it.
"Wah, I didn't expect, I really didn't expect you to be so courageous. Fine, I admit defeat."
When the young man reported the price, Lin Ray laughed. He laughed very happily because this was exactly what he wanted to see. He used the previous words to provoke the young man, but what he didn't expect was that the person on the third floor would follow Lin Ray. This was something that Lin Ray didn't expect. For a moment, Lin Ray became interested in the person on the third floor. His eyes couldn't help but glance at the third floor.
"Sigh, since this brother really wants it, then I won't take it from you. I'll withdraw!"
"Boom!" The young man in room 213 was completely blank. His face was ashen as he sat there, trembling non-stop.
"How could this be, how could this be? You guys should have continued to bid, why did you stop?"
At this time, the person in front was crying and feeling very wronged because this wasn't what he wanted.
"Okay, eight million. This young noble said eight million, is there a higher bid?"
The bidding stopped for two minutes. During these two minutes, everyone was making their own calculations. However, in these two minutes, there was no higher price than 8 million.
"Eight million going once, eight million going twice, eight million … going thrice!"
"Bang!" The hammer in Wan Ling 'er's hand fell on the table.
"Alright, I hereby announce that this Vermilion Fruit belongs to the esteemed guest on the second floor, number 213. Furthermore, this auction has come to an end. As the auctioneer, I hereby represent the House of Thousand Treasures to welcome all of you again."
With that, Wan Ling 'er made a 90-degree salute. For a moment, everyone's gaze fell on Wan Ling' er's chest.
"Hahaha." Wan Ling 'er laughed like an oriole. Everyone was stunned for a moment, but it was only temporary. After a minute, everyone woke up. When they saw that there was no one on the stage, they scattered.
"Knock, knock, knock."
At this moment, someone knocked on the door. Linley nodded at Dian Wei and let in the person who knocked on the door.
"Hahaha, congratulations, Young Master. You've won this time. Not only did you get what you wanted, you even sold your stuff at a high price. Congratulations!"
"Oh, it's you."
Seeing that this person was the guide when he first entered the Myriad Treasure House, Lin Ray knew that he must be here to deliver the money.
"Haha." Lin Ray chuckled but didn't say anything.
"Okay, since Young Noble doesn't want to see me, let's get to the point. I'm here to deliver the money."
As she spoke, the woman removed the storage ring from her finger and handed it over to Linley as she explained, "Don't worry about it.
"Young Master has auctioned a total of eight million mid-grade spirit stones at our House of Ten Thousand Treasures. According to our previous agreement, our House of Ten Thousand Treasures will not take a single cent from Young Master's auction items. Furthermore, the other Vermillion Fruit will be bought at twice the price of the first Vermillion Fruit."
At this point, the woman paused for a moment, wanting to see Linley's expression. But she was very disappointed. From the very beginning, Linley's expression had been as cold as ever, without any other emotions.
"There's a total of 24 million mid-grade spiritual stones in the ring on your hand. As for this storage ring, take it as an extra gift from me."
Then, the woman winked at Lin Ray playfully, but Lin Ray didn't look at her at all. Instead, he was fiddling with the ring.
"Eh, haha, Young Noble is really special."
"Okay, Miss, since I've achieved my goal, I'll take my leave."
As he spoke, Linley began to laugh. He bowed towards the woman, then walked out. The woman was completely stupefied. She hadn't expected Linley to be so straightforward.
"Young Noble, you're leaving just like that?"
"Eh?"
Hearing the woman's words, Lin Ray didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Ah, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to say that Young Noble might encounter some trouble. If Young Noble needs it, I can help Young Noble leave without anyone knowing."
Seeing the woman's unwavering gaze, Lin Ray's eyes flashed with a hint of a smile, but he quickly hid it.
"Thank you for your kindness, Miss, but there's no need for that. Cultivators are supposed to go against the heavens. If I blindly hide in the face of difficulties, then I'll encounter obstacles in my future cultivation. This is not what I want."
After speaking, Lin Ray directly turned around and walked towards the door, leaving behind the woman with a shocked expression.
"Go against the heavens, blindly hide," the woman muttered Lin Ray's words. In an instant, some changes happened to the woman's body, as if her temperament had changed.
"Haha, you've really enlightened me. I didn't expect that a casual sentence from you would allow me to break through to the fasting stage. Moreover, as long as I have enough spiritual energy, I can immediately enter the fasting stage."
At this moment, the woman's burning gaze, coupled with the transformation of her temperament, made her even more attractive. However, the people who passed by her couldn't help but take a second look at her.
While the woman was excited, Lin Ray had already arrived at the entrance of the Ten Thousand Treasures House. Lin Ray, who had one foot out of the door, suddenly heard a call from behind. Thus, Lin Ray put down his foot and turned his head towards the direction of the voice.
"Phew, Brother, wait up!"
He saw a young man running towards Lin Ray. As he ran, he waved and shouted at Lin Ray.
"Brother, wait for me, I'm so tired."
Soon, the man ran to Lin Ray's side and held onto Lin Ray's shoulder, panting heavily. He looked very cute, especially with his slightly chubby body.
"Eh, you are?"
Seeing this scene, Lin Ray's mouth couldn't help but twitch. His eyes were filled with confusion, not knowing what was going on.
"Oh, let me introduce myself."
The young man extended his hand towards Lin Ray and said, "Hello, I'm Lei Dong, a future disciple of the Danzong Sect. Nice to meet you."
"Eh?"
Seeing this scene, Lin Ray really didn't know what to say. However, when he heard the young man mention the Danzong Sect, Lin Ray seemed to have found a reason to shake his hand.
"En, hello, I'm Lin Ray. This is my disciple. You can call her Little Yu or Wan Yu. This is …."
As he spoke, Lin Ray introduced Lei Dong one by one. When he introduced Wan Yu, Lei Dong's expression clearly changed. His eyes widened and were filled with disbelief.
"Hehe, Brother Lin, you're not joking, right? How old are you now? You already have your own disciple? You're not lying, right? "
Hearing this, just as Lin Ray was about to defend himself, Wan Yu squeezed out from behind Lin Ray and looked at Lei Dong with disdain.
"Hmph, what does it have to do with you whether my master has a disciple or not? Moreover, why my master can't accept a disciple is none of your business."
Such a simple sentence caused Lei Dong to be speechless. He only had an awkward expression on his face.
"Eh, hehe, that's not what I meant. I just feel that …. Sigh, forget it, let's not talk about it."
"Hmph."
Wan Yu coldly snorted at Lei Dong and walked behind Lin Ray. As for Lin Ray, he was also very embarrassed.
"That, I'm sorry. Wan Yu is like this. She's still too young and inexperienced. If she offended you, please forgive her."
Hearing Lin Ray's words, Lei Dong was even more embarrassed. It was his fault in the first place. Now, Lin Ray was apologizing first.
