As soon as the auctioneer called for the start, Ling Xiao immediately called out a price, "550,000 low-grade profound crystals."
Xuan Yao, who was beside Ling Xiao, was shocked, "Brother Ling, are you really going to bid for this Flood Dragon Blood Essence?"
"Of course, I need it." Ling Xiao said with certainty.
Xuan Yao looked at Ling Xiao seriously again, and said in agreement, "So Brother Ling already has the Dragon's Grace, no wonder …" "No wonder …"
"Hey, don't make it sound like a fraud. Do you know why I need this blood essence?" Ling Xiao said.
Xuan Yao shook his head and said, "I know a little about observing people. Now that I see that Brother Ling is like a swimming dragon, there will be a time when the dragon soars into the sky. It seems that this blood essence belongs to Brother Ling."
Ling Xiao looked at Xuan Yao snappily and said, "You really think you're a peerless fraud."
However, he was secretly rejoicing in his heart, "This fraud does have some ability, to actually be able to see that this young master has a time when the dragon soars into the sky. Hehe, this young master is worthy of being called a dragon among men, his charm is unstoppable!"
In the sixth box, Fairy Cai's expression was extremely ugly. She muttered, "You actually dare to steal my Spirit Nourishing Grass, I will let you know the consequences of offending this fairy."
When the price of the blood essence reached 900,000 low-grade profound crystals, the number of people bidding became fewer and fewer.
After all, it was unknown if this blood essence could comprehend the Flood Dragon's Tenbin divine ability, so not many people dared to pay a high price to see it.
The smile on Ling Xiao's face grew wider and wider, as if he could already see the blood essence in his hands.
Unexpectedly, a bid came from the sixth box, "910,000 low-grade profound crystals."
Ling Xiao was slightly stunned, but quickly followed up with a bid, "920,000 low-grade profound crystals."
"930,000 low-grade profound crystals."
"940,000 low-grade profound crystals."
"950,000 low-grade profound crystals."
… ….
No matter how much Ling Xiao added, Fairy Cai would add another 10,000.
Now, only the two of them and the Wei family were left bidding.
"This … this woman's voice is so familiar. She actually dares to snatch something from me," said Ling Xiao somewhat angrily.
"Who told you to steal my Spirit-Nourishing Grass? I'm just trying to pick a fight with you."
At this time, Wei Weihu raised the price to one million.
This time, Ling Xiao did not raise the price. He wanted to see if the woman in room 6 would continue to raise the price.
However, he didn't say anything, and the woman in booth number six didn't say anything either.
"One million going once, one million going twice, anyone else?" the auctioneer shouted.
"One million and ten thousand Lower Rank Mysterious Crystals!" Ling Xiao quickly increased the price.
However, a voice rang out from booth number six again, "One million and twenty thousand low-grade Mysterious Crystals."
"Damn it, this woman is really trying to pick a fight with me!" Ling Xiao cursed angrily.
Wei Bufan's expression turned unsightly as he sat in room 3.
Wei Weihu asked, "Big brother, do you still want to follow up?"
Wei Bufan said indifferently, "The highest price is one million and one hundred thousand."
Wei Weiwu nodded and continued to raise the price.
Wei Bufan also urgently needed this bottle of blood essence because he cultivated the Dragon Tiger Nine Transformations Mysterious Art. If he could absorb the dragon's bloodline essence and cultivate with it, it would be twice the result with half the effort.
Even so, Wei Bufan knew his limits. If he waited for a higher price for this bottle of blood essence, it wouldn't be worth it. Booth number six was clearly competing with booth number eight, and he didn't want to get involved.
In any case, no matter who obtained it in the end, he could still obtain it through other channels.
Wei Weiwu called out one million and one hundred thousand, but Ling Xiao didn't immediately bid. Instead, he chose to ponder for a moment.
As expected, booth number six became silent again.
Ling Xiao smiled and said to himself, "Since you want to play, I'll play with you."
"One million low-grade Mysterious Crystals and five thousand mid-grade Mysterious Crystals. If you can bid higher than this, I'll withdraw," said Ling Xiao.
A piece of mid-grade Mysterious Crystal was equivalent to a hundred low-grade Mysterious Crystals. Ling Xiao's bid was equivalent to one million and five hundred thousand low-grade Mysterious Crystals.
The number of low-grade Mysterious Crystals he had plundered from the three emperors added up to a million or so. Just now, he had spent more than a hundred thousand, so he could only raise the price with mid-grade Mysterious Crystals.
He suddenly increased the price by four hundred thousand, and at the same time, he threatened that he wouldn't accept anyone who surpassed him. His goal was to intimidate the woman in booth number six.
He was sure that the woman was definitely not after the blood essence. He had already bid such a high price, so if the woman still dared to raise the price, he could only give up.
Wei Weihu, who was in booth number three, cursed in a low voice, "Who's in booth number eight? What a madman. He actually spent such a high price for a few drops of blood essence."
Wei Bufan narrowed his eyes, and a trace of killing intent flashed across his face as he said, "I want him to have the money to buy it, but he won't have the life to spend it."
Fairy Cai, who was in booth number six, also sneered, "What a big fat sheep. Not only do I want you to give me my Spirit Nourishing Grass, I also want you to clean yourself up and let you know the consequences of offending me, Fairy Cai."
Fairy Cai didn't dare to raise the price anymore. She must have achieved the effect she wanted.
Xuan Yao, who was in booth number eight, gave Ling Xiao a thumbs up and said, "I didn't expect Brother Ling to be so rich. From now on, I'll rely on you."
"Alright, since I'm still lacking a book boy, you might as well be half a book boy for me." Ling Xiao joked.
"Screw you, I'm the number one divine fortune teller in the Celestial Sect of Wonders. How can I arrange such a low status? At the very least, you should arrange for me to be an advisor." Xuan Yao chuckled.
… ….
The auction was over. Ling Xiao had used up almost all of his low-grade Mysterious Crystals to buy a mid-grade Rank 5 Spirit Grass and a bottle of Blood Essence.
He had always thought that he was rich, but now he realized that he was so poor that he was sore.
"Looks like if there's a chance, I'll have to take something out to sell." Ling Xiao sighed in his heart.
Just as Ling Xiao was about to leave the booth, Xuan Yao pinched his fingers and frowned. "Your Peach Blossom Tribulation is coming."
Ling Xiao kicked Xuan Yao and said, "Bah, I said you were a fraud and you took it for real!"
"Believe it or not, we'll know once we leave the auction," Xuan Yao said mysteriously.
Ling Xiao also pinched his fingers like Xuan Yao and said with a smile, "It should be Peach Blossom Luck, not Peach Blossom Tribulation. Brother, your realm is not as high as mine!"
Xuan Yao smiled and didn't reply.
The three of them walked out of the booth and immediately felt a few strange divine lights.
"Could it be that this guy really predicted it?" Ling Xiao wondered in his heart.
As soon as the three of them left the auction, the Demon Emperor sent a sound transmission to Ling Xiao, "Someone is following us."
Ling Xiao replied without batting an eyelid and continued walking forward.
After the three of them left the auction, a loud and clear bird cry rang out.
A five-colored divine bird appeared in the sky above Ling Xiao and the other two.
A beautiful Daoist nun held a red horsetail whisk in her hand and looked down at Ling Xiao and the other two coldly.
Ling Xiao looked up and cupped his hands towards the Daoist nun. "I wonder what advice this fairy has for us?"
He thought to himself, "Could it be that this Daoist nun has taken a fancy to this young master?
What should I do? This young master isn't mentally prepared yet. If she wants to use force, I … I can only force myself … I'll just have to make do … "
Fairy Cai interrupted Ling Xiao's wild thoughts and said, "It's you. Hand over the Spirit Nourishing Grass and I'll spare your life. If you resist, you'll have to bear the consequences."
"This … In broad daylight, are you sure you want to rob me?"
Ling Xiao asked with a serious expression. He cursed inwardly, "That jinx really hit the nail on the head."
"Cut the crap. If you say another word, I'll cut off your tongue and hand over the Spirit Nourishing Grass," Fairy Cai said impatiently as she lightly brushed her red horsetail whisk.
At this time, the people who had just come from the auction as well as the nearby cultivators all hid far away to watch the show.
"So that's Fairy Cai. She's as beautiful as a fairy and flirtatious."
"Keep your voice down. She's the famous Blood Asura. If you anger her, you won't even know what happened to you."
"Looks like that kid was in the eighth box just now. He actually dared to bid against Blood Asura. He's courting death."
"Look, the Wei family has also gone over. There's going to be a good show to watch."
Two low-tier fourth level Flaming Tigers pulled a golden carriage over to where Ling Xiao and the others were.
Two youths around the age of 25 walked out.
Fairy Cai glared at the Wei brothers and said, "Get out of the way. Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless."
The old servant next to the Wei brothers snorted. "Blood Asura, how dare you. Don't tell me that the Wei family is afraid of you?"
With that, a powerful aura rose from the old servant and he flew into the air to confront Fairy Cai.
This old servant was obviously at the high-level King level, so he wasn't afraid of Fairy Cai at all.
Wei Bufan cupped his hands towards Fairy Cai and said, "Welcome, Fairy Cai. I only want the blood essence of the flood dragon. Please give it to me."
Fairy Cai hesitated for a moment before saying, "Alright, the blood essence is yours. I only want the Spirit Nourishing Grass."
Ling Xiao said weakly, "Hey, you guys don't even put me in your eyes. How could you do such an evil thing in broad daylight? Don't tell me … don't tell me you're not afraid of being punished by the heavens?"
As soon as he said this, the surrounding people roared with laughter.
In Nantian City, the strongest fist was the last word.
As long as they didn't cause too much trouble, didn't kill people in public, and didn't break the order here, the Dong family wouldn't care.
Wei Weihu pointed at Ling Xiao and shouted, "Hurry up and give the Spirit Nourishing Grass to Fairy Cai and then offer up your blood essence. Then I'll spare your dog lives. Otherwise … hmph!"
"You're pushing it too far. What you're doing is no different from a thief. I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, I'm pure, I'm honest …" Ling Xiao spoke as if he had been wronged. His eyes looked as if they were about to burst into tears.
When the people around them heard this, they all felt like vomiting.
Was this guy really an idiot or just too narcissistic? He actually dared to joke in this kind of situation.
Before Ling Xiao could finish speaking, Fairy Cai couldn't help but shout, "Shut up! I'll give you three breaths of time. If you don't hand it over, I'll cripple you."
"Did you hear that? Hurry up and hand it over, or else I'll turn you into a pig head that everyone loves," Wei Weihu shouted impatiently.
"Heavens!
Heroes, heroes, do you have the heart to let them bully a pure and honest youth like me?
Is there still justice in this world?! "Ling Xiao wailed.
Xuan Yao, who was standing to the side, didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Ling Xiao's actions.
"You damned fool, forcing me to use force!" Wei Weihu couldn't help but attack.
