Actually, the crux of the matter was that Ling Xiao never thought that after he had announced the Medicine Sect's name and raised the price by so much, the other party would increase the price even more. Furthermore, they had increased it by so much in one go.
Ling Xiao did not want to lose and he could not afford to lose.
He knew that this was no longer a fight for the Three Leaf Clouds but the Medicine Sect's reputation. Ling Xiao knew that if he were to lose today, he would not only lose face for himself but for the Medicine Sect as well.
He had no choice. Didn't the Medicine Sect proclaim that they had a lot of money?
Now that they had lost to someone else in a competition of money, wasn't this a disgrace?
However, this was not a small sum!
Furthermore, the other party had increased the price by two billion from three billion to five billion. If he were to increase the price by one or two hundred million, wouldn't that mean that he was incapable?
Under such circumstances, Ling Xiao also revealed a troubled expression.
"It can't be, am I going to witness a miracle?
I'm going to witness a Medicine Sect disciple losing to someone else in a competition of money! "
"This will probably become the hottest topic of discussion tomorrow. However, we're lucky to have witnessed it with our own eyes!"
"That's right, we've witnessed it with our own eyes. This is simply too exciting!"
"Who on earth is this Sir Lin? Why is he so awesome?"
...
At this moment, the onlookers began to fan the flames once again.
They knew that the members of the Medicine Sect loved their reputation the most so they wanted to humiliate the Medicine Sect. Only then would the Medicine Sect retaliate. Otherwise, it would be too boring to just let things end like this!
Ling Xiao could no longer calm down when he heard this.
"Good, very good, very good. You want to compete in money, right? I've told you that the Medicine Sect has no lack of money!"
As he spoke, Ling Xiao pulled out three pills from his robes and said, "These are three divine pills, pills that can help in increasing a Golden Immortal's cultivation. Each pill is a priceless treasure. I'm going to bid three billion high-grade spirit stones for one pill. That shouldn't be a problem, right?
I'm going to bid six billion high-grade spirit stones! "
After saying that, Ling Xiao glared at Lin Xiao coldly as a show of force.
Crazy, this is simply too crazy. He's already taken out the divine pills and there are three of them.
"Beautiful, as expected of a Medicine Sect disciple. He really doesn't treat money as money!"
"That's right. However, it's a pity for Sir Lin. To be able to force the members of the Medicine Sect into such a state, to be honest, he's already very powerful."
"Unfortunately, I'm still one step away. Sigh, the Medicine Sect is still no match for me!"
"Nonsense, that's a divine pill we're talking about. Aside from the Medicine Sect, how many other Sects would be able to take it out?"
…
Naturally, the onlookers did not mind watching a good show. They had just provoked Lin Xiao and now, they had set their sights on Lin Xiao. However, it goes without saying that these people were indeed very impressive. On the surface, they were congratulating Lin Xiao and praising the Medicine Sect but in reality, they were using the Medicine Sect to provoke Lin Xiao.
To be honest, Lin Xiao wasn't stupid. He could see through the other party's tricks clearly and understood the other party's intentions.
However, Lin Xiao didn't care. If the other party took out something else, then Lin Xiao wouldn't be able to handle it.
However, they had taken out a divine pill.
Back then, Lin Xiao had given all of his divine pills to Sun Wukong for his breakthrough. However, Liu Yuan had appeared at this time and told Lin Xiao that it was best not to let Sun Wukong break through. Under these circumstances, Lin Xiao did not stop Sun Wukong from continuing his breakthrough. Hence, he had taken back the divine pills.
Hence, if one were to talk about divine pills, Lin Xiao now has almost twenty divine pills on him.
Ling Xiao had only taken out three so why would Lin Xiao be afraid of Ling Xiao?
However, just as Lin Xiao was about to place his bid, another voice rang out, "Seven billion high-grade spirit stones!"
The crowd was shocked once again!
Seven billion! The price has increased again!
What shocked the crowd even more was that the person who had placed the bid was not Lin Xiao but a beautiful woman who was slowly walking towards them.
"I bid 7 billion!" The beautiful woman repeated her bid.
Seeing this beautiful woman, Lin Xiao smiled bitterly. He had been curious about where this Cheng Yaojin had come from. He didn't expect it to be his old acquaintance, Xu Qingruo.
"Beautiful woman, why are you joining in?"
Someone suddenly asked.
Xu Qingruo smiled and replied, "I'm calling on behalf of my Big Brother Lin!"
Big Brother Lin. Hearing these three words, everyone was dumbfounded. Such an affectionate name …
At this time, someone recognized Xu Qingruo's identity and exclaimed, "Heavens, you're Miss Xu from the Qing Province's Qing Sect, the only daughter of the Qing Sect's Sect Leader!"
Instantly, the crowd was in an uproar again.
The Qing Sect was joining in as well!
Moreover, the daughter of the Qing Sect's Sect Leader was much more important than any other disciple!
This was also the first time Lin Xiao had heard of Xu Qingruo's identity. Although he had a good relationship with Xu Qingruo, he had never asked much about her identity.
However, even though Lin Xiao didn't ask, Lin Xiao knew that Xu Qingruo's identity couldn't be ordinary since she was accompanied by Old Man Sun, a fifth-level Almighty Immortal, at any time.
Now that Xu Qingruo's identity was finally exposed, Lin Xiao felt relieved.
She was the only daughter of the Qing Sect's Sect Leader, one of the three sects in the foreign province. Xu Qingruo's identity was really extraordinary.
Originally, Lin Xiao was wondering why he would meet Xu Qingruo in such a remote place like Liangzhou. Now, it seemed that everything was destined!
As the daughter of the Qing Sect's Sect Leader, Xu Qingruo certainly had her reasons to be here.
At this time, Old Man Sun looked at Xu Qingruo and said, "Young Miss, be more reserved, be more reserved …"
If he didn't know, it would be fine. But since her identity had been exposed, Old Man Sun certainly had to remind Xu Qingruo to pay attention to her image. After all, she represented Qingzhou.
But in the next moment, Old Man Sun was directly stunned. Because before he finished speaking, Xu Qingruo had already run to Lin Xiao's side. She took his hand and said intimately, "Brother Lin, during these years when we were separated, did you miss Qingruo?"
Lin Xiao looked at Xu Qingruo and said gently, "Of course, I missed you. I was wondering if you had recovered from your illness. Now that I see you are full of vitality, I know that you have recovered. Then I am relieved."
Xu Qingruo had already done this in front of everyone. How could Lin Xiao not respond? After all, women cared about their reputation. Besides, Lin Xiao wasn't lying. During the time they were separated, he did often think of Xu Qingruo.
Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Xu Qingruo also nodded and said, "Well, I have recovered from my illness. Thank you, Brother Lin. So today, since Brother Lin likes this thing, I will definitely help you get it!"
