“Do you not think my eyes are clear, lively, and full of emotion? They are a pair of eyes full of wisdom and depth, right?” Ye Chu said very seriously to Ruo Shui.
“No, I don’t think so! But I know if you keep blinking like that, they will soon be a pair of eyes full of tears!” Ruo Shui replied very seriously to Ye Chu.
“I never talk to women with no taste!” Ye Chu said angrily. Ruo Shui was indeed beautiful, but this woman’s taste was definitely a problem. Ye Chu felt it was a pity. How could such a stunning woman have such a fatal flaw?
“Since I have no taste, I will leave first!” Ruo Shui stood up and prepared to go.
“Wait!” Ye Chu was startled. Seeing that Ruo Shui was really about to walk out, he quickly said, “A woman like you, who is like a snow lotus from the Tianshan Mountains, has completely gone beyond the level of taste. You have already reached the state of viewing the world with your heart. This is not something ordinary people can understand. It is a realm comparable to that of gods. Mortals cannot comprehend it!”
Ruo Shui sat down again. When she saw Ye Chu was about to speak more, she interrupted him, “You saved me once in the general’s tomb, so I will help you once. I have photographed the cultivation method of the Sha Ling practitioner for you!”
“Is your life so cheap? Just one Sha Ling cultivation method to get rid of me?” Ye Chu shrugged helplessly and said, “I think a peerless beauty like you is worth at least a hundred or eighty heavenly artifacts. Only that can prove your value. You must not belittle yourself!”
Ruo Shui ignored Ye Chu. Her gaze fell on the auction stage. At this moment, someone had already bid seven thousand. It was comparable to the previous sun-moon artifact!
“Seven thousand! Is there anyone else bidding?”
People around were scared off by this high price. No one bid again. Just as Ruo Shui was about to speak, she noticed the black-robed person opposite suddenly shout, “Eight thousand!”
The cold and sharp voice echoed in the space, startling many people. They looked toward the black-robed person, but upon sensing the eerie aura on him, quite a few shivered.
“Eight thousand! Anyone else? Eight thousand once… eight…”
Before the auctioneer finished, a voice suddenly rang out, “Nine thousand!”
This voice shocked many people because they saw that the Fire Xin King had actually stood up to bid! This Sha Ling cultivation method was even valued by the Fire Xin King.
Everyone shook their heads and sighed at the black-robed person, thinking that since the Fire Xin King wanted it, the item would surely go to him. As one of the giants of the Four Directions Valley, no one dared to compete with him here.
Ye Chu and Ruo Shui also frowned. Both of these figures were extraordinary. They could rule in their own domains. Yet such people were actually interested in a Sha Ling cultivation method. What use would they have for it? Did they want to become Sha Ling practitioners?
“Ten thousand!” Just when everyone thought it would go to the Fire Xin King, the black-robed person’s cold and piercing voice rang out again.
“Wow!”
The surroundings erupted in uproar. Everyone looked at the black-robed person in disbelief. This black-robed person was too bold. He actually dared to compete with the Fire Xin King here. Did he know what that meant? He might have to stay in the Four Directions Valley for the rest of his life. This could become his burial place!
The Fire Xin King’s face turned cold. He stared fixedly at the black-robed person. But the black-robed person ignored the knife-like gaze and just sat there quietly, letting everyone stare at him through the private room door.
“Ten thousand! Anyone else bidding? If not, it’s sold!” The auctioneer shouted on stage. He spoke very quickly. After calling three times in a row, it was sold.
At this moment, the auctioneer secretly felt bitter. Something the Fire Xin King wanted was actually snatched by someone. Who knew what rage he would unleash? The best way was to finish this auction quickly, hand the item to the black-robed person, and let him leave here fast. If there was trouble, let them fight outside. The auction house could not withstand their destruction.
Seeing the item sold, the Fire Xin King snorted coldly and said nothing more. He watched the auctioneer hand the item to the black-robed person.
Ye Chu saw that Ruo Shui sat there without bidding even once. He could not help but say in surprise, “Didn’t you say you would photograph it?”
“If it exceeds ten thousand spirit yuan pills, it is not worth it!” Ruo Shui answered.
“You are rich anyway. Just smash the price. Smash until they call you godmother!” Ye Chu reminded Ruo Shui.
“To spend a huge price on something not worth it, do you think I am a fool?” Ruo Shui said calmly, “This world does not have only one place with Sha Ling cultivation methods. You can find another one!”
“…”
Ye Chu shrugged and said nothing more. He naturally was also unwilling to spend ten thousand spirit yuan pills on this thing. If it really cost that much, it would be better to give the spirit yuan pills to him directly.
The Fire Xin King stared fixedly at the black-robed person with clenched fists. This was the first time he lost face in the Four Directions Valley. This slap was loud and clear. It had never happened before!
If the Fire Xin King did not know that the auction house had a powerful backer, he would have wanted to crush the other party right now.
“You can afford to buy it, but you may not live to enjoy it!” The Fire Xin King snorted and turned to leave.
But this sentence made countless people look at the black-robed person with pity, thinking that he was probably going to die this time.
“He dares to bid randomly without checking properly. He deserves to die!” A cultivator sighed.
The black-robed person took the jade box, stood up, and walked toward the outside.
This scene stunned the auction house guards. They immediately blocked the black-robed person and said, “Sir! Please pay the spirit yuan pills in full before leaving!”
“Get lost!” The black-robed person shouted at the guards. As he spoke, he directly sent several guards flying. A few guards spat blood and crashed to the ground, smashing onto the auction stage. The items on the stage scattered everywhere.
The black-robed person’s actions made every cultivator widen their eyes. They stared blankly ahead, rubbing their eyes hard to confirm what they saw was real.
“This black-robed person actually dares to cause trouble in the auction house?” Everyone took a deep breath.
“A bunch of trash, thinking they can stop my master!” Several cultivators following behind the black-robed person shouted and laughed loudly.
“What do you mean by this, sir?” The auctioneer walked out at this time and glared at the black-robed person. Their auction house had deep backing. Even the Fire Xin King had to give them some face. Yet they never expected this black-robed person to try to eat a free meal.
“No special meaning. I just fancy this thing and want to take it away!” The black-robed person said calmly, “As for the spirit yuan pills you mentioned, I do not have them!”
“You…”
Before the auctioneer could say more, the black-robed person slapped him. The other party had no chance to dodge and was directly sent flying.
“You are not qualified to talk to me. Call out the person behind you. Perhaps then you will have some qualification!” The black-robed person snorted. With his group of disciples, he ignored the auction house guards surrounding him with weapons, stepped forward, and walked out with a look of contempt.
