Chapter 18. How dare you behave arrogantly in front of this Sovereign?
“Senior, you… This doesn’t conform to the rules.” The beautiful female auctioneer on the stage also had a rather ugly expression on her face. With a frown, she looked at the black-clothed middle-aged man in the corner. The previous offer and threat had come from him.
As an auctioneer of the auction house, she naturally had to pay attention to the interests of the auction house. Now that the black-clothed middle-aged man had said this, he had directly caused everyone to not dare to bid and indirectly caused the auction house to lose over a million gold coins. Originally, she would have been able to obtain over 2.3 million for the Spirit Fruit, but now she had only obtained 1.1 million.
“Rules? What rules? Did I say that I won’t let them bid?”The black-robed middle-aged man sneered.
“This…” The auctioneer was a little troubled.
“Besides, so what if I break the rules? Little fellow, do you have any objections?”
The middle-aged man’s gaze swept past the auctioneer and looked somewhere behind her.
“Haha, senior is joking. This junior does not dare to have any objections.”
A respectful voice sounded from within the auction house. Everyone guessed that the owner of the voice was likely the owner of the auction house.
A simple exchange of words shocked many people in the auction house.
They knew the strength of the auction house’s owner. He was at the peak of the seventh level of the Soul Condensation Realm.
To be able to make a peak seventh level Soul Condensation Realm expert call him senior… How strong was he?
The eighth level of the Soul Condensation Realm?
Or even the ninth level of the Soul Condensation Realm?
In reality, they were right.
Under Xuan Yi’s perception, the black-robed middle-aged man’s cultivation base was completely visible.
Early ninth level Soul Condensation…
No wonder he was so arrogant. With the strength of a ninth level Soul Condensation realm expert, he was almost invincible.
At this moment, the person with the most unsightly expression in the entire auction hall was the Li family’s siblings.
The appearance of the Spirit Fountain Fruit made them wild with joy, thinking that the Patriarch was saved.
However, the sudden surprise that entered the auction made their hopes shatter.
“Sister, what should we do! Father is about to die. Without the Spirit Fruit, we…” Li Hao was about to cry.
In the end, nobody was more desperate than them.
“Senior, my father’s Divine Sense has been heavily injured. Now, he urgently needs this Spirit Fruit… Senior, can you give it to us? We are willing to take out seven million gold coins to purchase this Spirit Fruit with Senior.”
As she gritted her teeth, Li Fei braced herself and asked.
She had no choice but to stand up with her head on because this Spirit Fruit was related to the life or death of her Li family’s people.
Although seven million gold coins far exceeded the value of the Spirit Fruit itself, if she could buy it, it would be worth it to the Li Clan.
“Scram!”
An explosive shout, accompanied by oppressive might, caused Li Fei to spit out a mouthful of blood. Her face was as pale as paper. Li Hao beside her and the second elder behind her were also heavily injured to varying degrees.
“What are you still standing there for!” The black-robed middle-aged man looked at the female auctioneer.
“Yes, yes, yes ……”
“Going once for 1.1 million gold coins.”
“1.1 Million gold coins going twice.”
“1.1 Million gold coins going thrice!”
“Sold!”
.
“Congratulations, senior, for bidding 1.1 million gold coins for the Spirit Fruit.” The female auctioneer forced out a smile with difficulty.
“Next up is… The Sword Soul Grass. After consuming the Sword Soul Grass, it would give the user a chance to comprehend the initial form of Sword Intent. The starting price will be three hundred thousand gold coins.”
“Oh?”
The appearance of the Sword Soul Grass gave Xuan Yi a bit of energy.
He could not use the Sword Soul Grass, but his disciple, Gui Yiyi, could use it!
Although he had been hurrying along these past few days, Xuan Yi had been teaching Gui Yiyi through voice transmission.
It had to be said that Gui Yiyi was indeed quite talented in comprehending the Dao of the Sword. In less than two days, she had a deep understanding of the Dao of the Sword. She was not far from comprehending the embryonic form of Sword Intent. She was only missing an opportunity. Perhaps this Sword Soul Grass could help Gui Yiyi comprehend the embryonic form of Sword Intent in one go.
The reason why Gui Yiyi was able to understand the Sword Dao in such a short period was related to her innate talent. However, a large part of the reason was that Xuan Yi, who had comprehended Sword Intent, was present!
A master who had comprehended Sword Intent was enough to make Gui Yiyi walk a lot less on the path to comprehending the Dao of the Sword than other sword cultivators.
However, the only thing Xuan Yi could help with was this.
After comprehending the embryonic form of Sword Intent, Gui Yiyi could only rely on herself if she wanted to comprehend it further.
The embryonic form of sword intent was not too difficult to comprehend. What was difficult to comprehend was Sword Intent!
“310,000 Gold coins. I’ll take this Sword Soul Grass.”
Just as Xuan Yi was about to bid, a familiar voice sounded again.
Oh… That black-robed middle-aged man!
This time, although the black-robed middle-aged man hadn’t emitted his oppressive might, people had learned from the past. Who would dare to bid for the items he bid for?
Many of the people who were preparing to bid for the Sword Soul Grass sighed and gave up.
Xuan Yi’s gaze also looked at the black-clothed middle-aged man. His calm voice slowly sounded out.
“350,000.”
The sudden price increase caused quite a few people in the auction house to gasp.
The entire auction house was incomparably quiet, the drop of a needle could be heard.
After the black-robed middle-aged man’s bid, everyone believed that there was no longer any suspense about the ownership of the Sword Soul Grass. No one would bid against the black-clothed middle-aged man, let alone dare to!
However, in the eyes of countless people, something impossible had happened.
Everyone’s gazes simultaneously turned to the owner of the voice.
It was a handsome young man dressed in white.
“Who the hell are you? You dare…”
“You’re nothing! How dare you act arrogantly in front of this sovereign!”
Buzz!
Before the black-robed middle-aged man could finish speaking, a boundless pressure descended!
If the pressure from the black-clothed middle-aged man earlier was like a lake, then the pressure from the white-clothed young man now gave off felt as if it was as vast as the Yellow River!
