Chapter 2018
byYang Kai had also dealt with Zhuo Ningsi once before. It was when he went to the Spirit Pill Workshop to sign a soul contract with Kang Siran. At that time, Zhuo Ningsi had wanted to win him over, but he had refused.
Yang Kai naturally also had some impression of this charming woman.
It was reasonable for her to bid for the Ink Jade Cauldron. After all, she was the shopkeeper of the Pill Instrument Pavilion, and it would be of great use to buy this Ink Jade Cauldron back.
Once Kang Siran heard that it was Zhuo Ningsi who was bidding, he became extremely angry. It seemed that he recalled all kinds of grudges two months ago, which made his anger burn in his abdomen.
On the other side, after the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes in the Jiang family identified Zhuo Ningsi’s identity, he couldn’t help but frown and said, “Shopkeeper Zhuo, our Jiang family has also had a lot of cooperation with your pavilion, and we have a good friendship with each other. Why bother.”
Zhuo Ningsi giggled and said, “What Master Jiang said is naturally true. But friendship is friendship, and business is business. Now, little sister is excited to see this and naturally wants to make an offer. How about Master Jiang being more generous and letting little sister have this Moyu Ding？ If so, little sister will surely hold a banquet to entertain Master Jiang well tonight. Hehe, I just don’t know if you have the courage to come.”
She actually blatantly seduced that martial artist of the Jiang family in front of thousands of martial artists.
As soon as these words came out, there were continuous hisses from many martial artists in the hall.
“Bitch！” Kang Siran was also filled with righteous indignation, quite despising Zhuo Ningsi’s promiscuity.
In the private room of the Jiang family, the man with big bushy eyebrows snorted coldly and was not at all moved. He said indifferently, “It seems that Shopkeeper Zhuo insists on going against my Jiang family？”
“Oh dear, how dare I. After this matter, I will definitely go to the Jiang family in person to apologize. But it is absolutely impossible for me to give up this Ink Jade Cauldron.” Zhuo Ningsi cried out in injustice, her voice full of grievance, making people couldn’t help but feel compassion and blame her. The last sentence was extremely firm as if there was some kind of unavoidable difficulty.
The man of the Jiang family snorted coldly and said, “Since that’s the case, then let’s see the truth under our hands. Four million three hundred thousand！”
Zhuo Ningsi pursed her lips and smiled, and replied without hesitation, “Four million four hundred thousand！”
Before the Jiang family had time to increase the price, another voice drifted out from another wing room： “Four million five hundred thousand！”
The man of the Jiang family was stunned for a moment, and Zhuo Ningsi was also stunned for a moment. Yang Kai, who was sitting in Box No. 9 of Class B, Stunned turned his head and looked at Kang Siran, asking doubtfully, “Shopkeeper Kang, what are you…”
The one who had just opened his mouth to bid and joined the competition sequence was sharply Kang Siran.
Kang Siran smiled and said, “Just patting randomly to disgust that bitch.”
Yang Kai nodded in understanding.
“I was wondering who jumped out halfway. So it’s Shopkeeper Kang. How are you doing? Is your body still strong?” Zhuo Ningsi’s words were laced with sarcasm and ridicule.
Kang Siran laughed and said, “Thanks to you, it’s not bad.”
“So it’s Shopkeeper Kang.” The man from the Jiang family obviously recognized Kang Siran’s voice. He smiled and said, “Since both of your major chambers of commerce are interested in this pill furnace, then my Jiang family has no choice but to withdraw. My Jiang family is no match for your two major chambers of commerce.”
He clearly mistook that both Zhuo Ningsi and Kang Siran’s bids represented their respective chambers of commerce behind them. Immediately, he retreated in the face of a strong current and protected himself. For the sake of a Moyu Cauldron, offending one Zhuo Ningsi was still bearable, but if he offended both chambers of commerce at the same time, it would not be what the Jiang family hoped to see.
But he simply didn’t know that Kang Siran was just maliciously bidding. As for whether Zhuo si represented the Seven Luminaries Chamber of Commerce, I’m afraid only she herself knew.
“Thank you for your concession.” Seeing that he was misunderstood, Kang Siran didn’t explain much. He just cupped his fists from a distance.
Zhuo Ningsi said, “Shopkeeper Kang. Now there are only two of us left. I wonder what Shopkeeper Kang’s bottom line is?”
“No comment. You just make your own bid. If you don’t bid, this Moyu Cauldron will belong to me.” Kang Siran snorted coldly.
Zhuo Ningsi was rebuffed softly, her expression turned angry, and she ignored Kang Siran and bid again.
For a while, the Ink Jade Tripod was only being competed for between the two of them. Each increase was at least one hundred thousand, and the price soared all the way to five million.
At this time, Kang Siran laughed and said openly, “Since Shopkeeper Zhuo is so insistent, then this old man has to admit defeat. Well, this old man withdraws.”
“Damned old ghost！” From the private room where Zhuo Ningsi was, her gritted-teeth curse came out. Although the voice was not loud, it still spread out, making many people hear it clearly.
Kang Siran laughed heartily, looking extremely comfortable, as if he had avenged a vendetta.
On the high platform, seeing this, Zui Jiuweng smiled faintly and took two steps forward. Just as he was about to announce the ownership of the Ink Jade Tripod, he heard a man’s voice from a private room numbered Jiazi： “You’ve all finished making a fuss, right？ Since you’ve finished making a fuss, then… six million！”
As soon as these words came out, the entire auction hall suddenly fell silent. Even Zui Jiuweng, who had taken a few steps forward, stopped in his tracks and looked in astonishment at the source of the sound.
And Zhuo Ningsi, who originally thought she had won the final victory, after being stunned for a moment, her eyes suddenly shrank and her pretty face distorted.
“Six million？ Did I hear wrong？”
“Who is this guy? He increased the price by one million source crystals at once. Is he crazy?”
“Shh, keep your voice down. This person is in the private room numbered Jiazi. He must be a Dao Source Realm powerhouse. If he hears you, you’re dead.”
“So what if he’s a Dao Source Realm powerhouse？ Isn’t his source crystal also source crystal？ One million! If it were given to me…”
After a moment of silence, the hall suddenly became noisy. The martial artists were whispering and discussing with each other. After all, increasing the price by one million source crystals all at once was really quite scary.
After thinking for a while, the Drunken Old Man seemed to have figured out the identity of the person who made the offer. There was actually a hint of fear in his eyebrows. His figure retreated slightly again and he stood there quietly.
Among those present, the one with the worst mood was undoubtedly Zhuo Ningsi. After all, she was about to pick the fruits of victory, but a troublemaker came out halfway. No one would be in a good mood if they encountered such a thing.
Although she only had the cultivation base of the third level of the Void King Realm, after all, she represented the Seven Stars Chamber of Commerce. So after a moment of silence, she asked in a cold voice, “May I ask your honorable name？”
However, the person who made the offer in Room A of the 60th year did not mean to answer her.
Zhuo Ningsi said angrily, “Hiding your head and showing your tail. Are you afraid to show your name？”
After these words were spoken, the person who made the offer finally sneered and said, “What a joke. I’m just participating in the auction. What？ Do I have to report my name before bidding for something？ Which auction has this rule？ Deputy City Lord, does the auction in Maple Forest City have this rule？”
His last sentence was asked to the Drunken Old Man.
Upon hearing this, the Drunken Old Man furrowed his brows. After thinking for a while, he bowed and said, “Friend is joking. Naturally, there is no such rule in the auction of Maple Forest City.”
“That’s right. Shopkeeper Zhuo, Youdaoplaceholder0 that you are from the Seven Stars Chamber of Commerce, I will not bother with you for now. If you dare to speak rudely again, don’t blame me for being ruthless! As he spoke, a powerful spiritual consciousness force spread out from the room numbered Jiazi and directly swept across Zhuo Ningsi’s body.
Zhuo Ningsi’s face couldn’t help but turn pale. She immediately realized that the other party simply didn’t give her any face. If she continued to pester, she might really anger the other party.
And judging from the previous intensity of the spiritual sense, the other party didn’t seem to be a powerhouse at the first level of the Dao Source Realm, but a second-level Dao Source Realm！
The city lord of Maple Forest City, Duan Yuanshan, was only at the second level of the Dao Source Realm and was already the overlord within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles. This person didn’t know where he came from and actually had the strength comparable to Duan Yuanshan.
Even if Zhuo Ningsi was wearing the halo of the Seven Stars Chamber of Commerce, with this person’s cultivation strength, he could completely kill Zhuo Ningsi without a trace.
Youdaoplaceholder0 this, Zhuo Ningsi managed to squeeze out a smile and said, “Since senior is interested in this Ink Jade Tripod, then this has to give up. Congratulations to senior.
Not to mention that the price of six million source crystals had already exceeded Zhuo Ningsi’s tolerance limit, just the disposition of this person was also extremely perverse. Continuing to compete with him, she would definitely not have any good outcome. Zhuo Ningsi judged the situation and naturally didn’t dare to bid anymore. Instead, she said a few polite words and then withdrew.
No one expected that the Jasper Ink Tripod, which had been fiercely contested by numerous families before, would ultimately fall into the hands of a mysterious person who only made one bid. However, with a price of six million in one go, he indeed had the ability to do so.
After the Drunken Old Man counted down three times on the stage, the ownership of the Jasper Ink Tripod was settled.
“I really didn’t expect it. I really didn’t expect it. Just a Jasper Ink Tripod is already six million. Then the Dao Source Fruit later on…” Kang Siran had a look of dejection on his face. Although he had brought a lot of source crystals this time, looking at it now, it was afraid that the Dao Source Fruit had nothing to do with him. He couldn’t help but feel a bit disheartened.
Yang Kai also didn’t know how to comfort him and could only remain silent.
“The next item to be auctioned is a spirit pill.” On the high platform, the Drunken Old Man had a smile on his face and looked mysterious. “As for what kind of spirit pill it is, please allow this old man to keep it a secret for now.”
While he was speaking, naturally, a maid had already presented the auction item.
After he lifted the covering red cloth, everyone saw a dark blue spirit pill about the size of a longan lying quietly on the jade plate.
This spiritual pill isn’t even stored in a jade bottle, and it seems that there’s no worry at all about the loss of its medicinal efficacy.
And the moment some sharp-eyed martial artists saw this spiritual pill, they exclaimed: “Pill pattern! It’s actually a spiritual pill with pill pattern!
“What?” Let me take a look. Hiss… It’s really pill pattern. So this is what pill pattern looks like.
“Not only that. Look, this spiritual pill seems to have some age. Could it be…”
The numerous martial artists below were talking a lot and on the stage the Drunken Old Man had a big smile seemingly very satisfied with such an effect.
Although there had been some spiritual pills in the previous auctions, not a single one of them had pill patterns. This one was the first.
Moreover, many martial artists had never even seen a spiritual pill with pill patterns. Naturally, for a moment, they felt extraordinary, and their pairs of eyes kept staring at it.
