Chapter 645: 642: What is The Height of Heaven and The Thickness of Earth_1
Seeing Yang Chen splurge 150 Spirit Stones at once, Li Ruoxiang chuckled, but in the blink of an eye, her expression turned serious again. Her thoughts in her mind were becoming even more interesting and flavorful.
“Sect Leader, isn’t Yang Chen being too wasteful? Even if our Green Lotus Sect lends him Spirit Stones, he doesn’t need to spend such a high price for just a stick, right?” An Elder said from the side.
Li Ruoxiang smiled faintly, “What’s there to be afraid of? If he dares to borrow so much, he must be sure he can pay it back.”
“But how can he pay it back?” Someone asked.
“If he can’t pay it back, I wouldn’t lend to him. If we lend him these Spirit Stones and ask for his help in the sect later, can he refuse?” Li Ruoxiang paused for a moment and then laughed confidently, “One hundred pieces of top-grade Spirit Stones may be sky-high for a loose cultivator, but they are not much for us.”
“Spending these to make this kid owe us a favor is worth it.”
People looked at each other, not knowing whether this deal was appropriate or not. They felt that Yang Chen wasn’t worth this price.
Only Li Ruoxiang maintained her belief that Yang Chen was not only worth it, but he would even be worth more!
Yang Chen didn’t think too much about it and didn’t even know that Li Ruoxiang and his own Elders were discussing it. He just stared at the stick, quickly calming down the commotion about the Forbidden Purple Dragon Spear.
To others, the 150 Spirit Stones he spent seemed wasted and purely out of a spirit challenge, but for Yang Chen, these Spirit Stones were definitely not a waste, and it was absolutely not because of a spirit challenge either.
If he really was to add up bit by bit, everyone would be able to see his obsession with the stick and then ponder its value, which could easily lead to unforeseen changes.
But if he flipped so many at once, it would be different, and people would only think it was a spirit challenge without any special thoughts.
He could consider it as spending money to avert disaster.
Moreover, for him, this stick was worth 150 top-grade Spirit Stones.
Afterward, Yang Chen closed his eyes to rest, losing interest in the subsequent auction.
It wasn’t that he wasn’t really interested, but he knew his pockets were limited, so why bother joining the commotion?
As Yang Chen rested with his eyes closed, numerous covert glances were cast at him. Obviously, everyone was curious about him, especially Zhang Huafeng.
“Yang Chen…Hehe, kid, dare to mess with me, and I’ll make sure you can’t leave Huangsha County!” Zhang Huafeng twisted his neck, his face cold, and murderous intent spread through his eyes, planning his next move.
For him, hiring a few thugs to deal with a small fry like Yang Chen was quite easy.
Just like that, Old man Huayun brought out one auction item after another!
The value of these treasures varied, with some being high and some low.
Some took only three or two people to bid and finalize, while others caused disputes and took more than an hour to settle down.
Just like that, five days passed in the blink of an eye, and Old man Huayun brought out dozens of auction items, one after another. It wasn’t until five days later that the auction truly reached its climax. Because everyone knew that by now, the finale treasure was about to make its appearance.
At every auction, there would be at least one treasure to serve as the finale, which was also to enhance the grade of the auction.
So, under everyone’s gaze, Old man Huayun suddenly took out a pair of silver scissors.
The moment the scissors appeared, a True Qi storm instantly swept the four directions, like a wind, making people squint their eyes, not daring to look directly at the scissors. They all sensed something extraordinary from the scissors!
“This is…””This is the aura of a Mysterious Heavenly Spirit Treasure!”
“And it’s not just any ordinary Xuan Tian treasure.”
The high-level members of those major sects and clans shouted excitedly.
“Could this be the Silver Dragon Shears?”
“I heard that the highlight of the auction in Huangsha Main City this time would be the Silver Dragon Shears, and it turns out to be true. It’s an almost Upper Grade Xuan Tian treasure. After all these years, the Yellow Sand Auction has finally produced a respectable treasure.”
“Haha, this Xuan Tian treasure is definitely ours in Heiyun Main City.”
“Hehe, Elder Heiyun, don’t speak too soon. We in Zhenwu Main City are also very interested in this Xuan Tian treasure.”
Seeing the excitement on the stage, Old man Huayun was quite pleased, as this was the result he wanted, making his hosting efforts worthwhile.
At this moment, he stood with his hands behind his back, holding the Silver Dragon Scissors, and spoke slowly, “You all might have heard some rumors about this item. It doesn’t contradict what you heard. This Silver Dragon Scissors is a near Upper Grade Mysterious Heavenly Spirit Treasure. There isn’t much it can’t cut: True Qi, souls, spiritual power…”
Old man Huayun introduced the effects of this treasure slowly.
This made everyone’s heart race with excitement.
“Moreover, this treasure can also be used to attack with True Qi, with immense power… In short, even as a Sect Ancestral Treasure, it wouldn’t be excessive. The starting price is 1,000 Top-grade Spirit Stones!” Old man Huayun gave the Silver Dragon Scissors a price that seemed unattainable.
Indeed, 1,000 Top-grade Spirit Stones made people feel it was hard to reach and impossible to attain.
Yang Chen was very interested in these Silver Dragon Shears, but the starting price of 1,000 Top-grade Spirit Stones immediately made him give up the idea.
“1,200 Top-grade Spirit Stones!”
“1,300!”
“1,400 Top-grade Spirit Stones!”
The various sects called out the prices with red faces, one fiercer than the other. The Green Lotus Sect joined in as well. The bidding prices grew continuously, unstoppable. They went directly from 1,000 Top-grade Spirit Stones to 2,000, and then 3,000!
This was also inevitable, Middle Grade Xuan Tian treasures could already be considered Sect Ancestral Treasures. Like the Eight Gates Profound Artifact, they were the personal treasures of Fu Longyue. A near-Upper Grade Xuan Tian treasure could be a Sect Ancestral Treasure, who wouldn’t be tempted?
“3,500 Top-grade Spirit Stones!”
“4,000!”
The bidding continued like this, with the various major powers fighting fiercely, their faces red and necks thick.
Yang Chen watched the excitement for a while. In this way, they had been bidding for more than two double-hours before the competition between the various sects entered its final stages. In addition to the Black Dragon Sect who didn’t seem to participate in this Yellow Sand Auction, the rest of the major powers had all called out their prices!
In the end, Zhenwu Main City won with a high bid of 4,600 Top-grade Spirit Stones!
“Hehe, congratulations to everyone in Zhenwu Main City, the Silver Dragon Scissors are yours,” Old man Huayun said with a smile.
The high-ranking members of Zhenwu Main City were also excited, of course, they had paid a considerable price for it—4,600 Top-grade Spirit Stones. It wasn’t enough to drain their entire wealth, but a large portion of Zhenwu Main City’s money had been spent.
With this, the auction came to an end.
At the same time, Zhang Huafeng sneered, since the auction was over, it was time for him to settle the score with Yang Chen. It seemed he needed to teach this country bumpkin a good lesson about the depth of the world!
