The Ultimate Playboy Novel - Chapter 1723
Chapter 1723 Bai Shan Appeared
“Fellow Daoists, I am Daoist Rudy, a wandering cultivator. Now that I have stepped into the Seven Transformations of Buddha Light, I am very interested in this map of Purple Cloud Valley. I will obtain it at all costs. I hope that fellow Daoists will take a step back.”
Seeing that the map of Purple Cloud Valley had already been sold for 3 million spirit stones, a loud roar came from the crowd. It seemed that this Rudy was trying to scare away some competitors with his strength.
The method was still very effective. A large number of cultivators suddenly quieted down, but there were still quite a few people who were shouting their bids. Evidently, a rogue cultivator with the Seven Transformations of Buddha Light was nothing in Pear Continent.
“Heh! A mere wandering cultivator of the Seven Transformations of Buddha Light dares to say such arrogant words. He really takes himself seriously. Our five-star sect, the Hundred Will Sect, has even taken a fancy to this map. I advise you to retreat to the side if you are sensible.”
At the beginning of the meeting, the man who had photographed the six bottles of Golden Core shouted. This Hundred Will Sect’s name was clearly much stronger than Rudy the Loose Cultivator, and a large crowd had stopped. Even Rudy remained silent.
“The Baiyi Sect has such a big tone. They even said that the auction is fair and open. Now, they want to use their power to suppress people? Our Gu Clan of Li Zhou is not afraid of you.”
The man who jumped out was Gu Yingjie of the Gu Clan. He wanted to shoot those six bottles of Golden Core in front of him, but was snatched away by the Baiyi Sect. This was clearly going against the Baiyi Sect.
Several sects and clans began to fight. Almost all of them were famous factions in Lee Zhou. However, these people only scolded each other, but no one raised their bid. It seemed that the price of three million yuan had already made them feel that it was an exaggeration. After all, the map of Purple Cloud Valley was still unknown whether it was real or fake …
“5 million high-grade spirit stones!”
However, at this moment, a loud shout spread out, instantly silencing the noisy venue.
Hearing this, tens of thousands of pairs of eyes looked over. There were five men standing there, dressed in uniform. So they were from the Red Flower Hall.
“Bai Shan, you old bastard, are you clearly going against our Hundred Will Sect?”
“Hmph! How dare the Safflower Hall cause trouble? I don’t think I want to continue living in Li Zhou anymore.”
“A map that I don’t know if is real or fake is worth five million yuan. The people of Safflower Hall must have lost their minds.”
The person who shouted just now was precisely Bai Shan. Originally, he was not in the venue. He rushed over after receiving the disciple’s flying sword message saying that the map of Purple Cloud Valley had appeared at the auction. The Red Flower Hall might not be as powerful as the other five-star sects and clans in Pear Continent, but it was definitely the most well-funded. For an auction like this, there would be no time for failure.
“Haha! Fellow Daoists, you must have misunderstood me. Our Red Flower Hall has absolutely no intention of provoking everyone. Besides, the auction today was originally for the highest bidder, and the Red Flower Hall is very interested in the map of Purple Cloud Valley. Did I come here to bid against the rules of the General Assembly?”
Bai Shan’s words were reasonable, and she even looked at the five guests at the end.
The five of them were depressed. They also wanted to bid for the map of Purple Cloud Valley, but who told the auction to rule that no guests were allowed to bid? Not only were they not allowed to bid, they also had to stand up and speak up for Bai Shan.
“Safflower Hall’s Bai Shan is right. Every year, everyone is equal at the Li Zhou Auction, and the highest bidder wins.”
“From now on, you are only allowed to raise the bid. You are not allowed to say anything else. Otherwise, you will be deemed to have abandoned your qualifications for this auction.”
…
Several guests pretended to be serious and expressed their attitudes. The rules of the auction had been established for more than ten years, and they absolutely could not be easily violated. Otherwise, who else would come to participate in the Pear Continent Auction in the future?
The venue was silent for a moment.
Bai Shan’s offer of 5 million spirit stones was already astronomical. This was not to say that the map of Purple Cloud Valley was only worth this price. Rather, it was impossible to determine the authenticity of the map. It was likely that it would cost 5 million to buy back a piece of waste paper. If the Li Zhou Auction House dared to guarantee that the map was authentic, not to mention five million, even five hundred million high-grade spirit stones would be auctioned off by a large number of powers.
“Are there no other cultivators raising their prices? This is a map of Purple Cloud Valley!”
The auction price of five million yuan had already satisfied the auction house, but the beautiful hostess still hadn’t forgotten to tempt everyone, wanting to bid for a higher price.
The audience remained silent for a long time. Although some people still wanted to compete, they knew that the Safflower Hall could not compete against the other party no matter how much money they had. Secondly, the increase in the price meant offending the Safflower Hall. Rumors had it that this force had a Spirit Connecting Realm expert in charge. Even the five-star factions and clans in Pear Continent did not want to provoke them easily.
“It seems that no Fellow Daoist will continue to raise the price. Congratulations …”
Before the beautiful hostess could finish her sentence, a calm voice suddenly sounded, “Six million!”
Everyone was dumbfounded. They all heard the sound and looked over. The beautiful host’s boss with his mouth wide open had an unbelievable expression on his face.
The one bidding was actually a young fellow. From the looks of it, no one could recognize him. Everyone guessed that he was probably an unknown rogue cultivator.
This caused the crowd to explode. An unknown young rogue cultivator actually dared to go against the Red Flower Hall. Wasn’t this courting death? Besides, with this kid’s identity, could he take out 6 million high-grade spirit stones?
“It’s you? You’re actually still alive?”
Bai Shan recognized Qin Feng at a glance. Back then, Qin Feng had used Qiao Feng’s appearance when he went to the Safflower Hall to test his ranking as a Golden Core Master. Bai Shan revealed a ghostly expression. Logically speaking, Qin Feng had not gone to Li Huo City. He should have been annihilated by the forces gathered by the Red Flower Hall. Why would he appear at the Li Zhou Auction?
“Old bastard, are you surprised to see me? Your guess is correct. Your two junior brothers have already died.”
The reason why Qin Feng suddenly shouted the price was because he was intentionally angry at Bai Shan. This time, Qin Feng came to Pear Continent to destroy the Red Flower Hall. He was not afraid that his identity would be exposed at this moment.
Bai Shan’s old face immediately darkened, and a dense killing intent burst out from his body, scaring the cultivators around him to retreat.
“Good boy, your lowly life is really tough. I want to see if you can survive today.”
Bai Shan suddenly struck out with his palm. A gust of wind blew through most of the venue. Cultivators with low cultivation bases flew into the air, and even cultivators at the early Buddhist Light Stage were suppressed to the point where they were unable to breathe.
Qin Feng’s expression instantly became serious. He realized that he was still a bit reckless. Bai Shan’s cultivation level was much higher than Bai Lin and Bai Hua’s. Under the might of this palm strike, Qin Feng didn’t even have room to dodge.
And he couldn’t use the Hundred Miles Light Sniper here. That kind of powerful attack would definitely shake the entire arena. At that time, the Light Sniper would be spied on by the Strong Sovereign, and his life would be at an end.
“How dare you disturb the order of the auction, Bai Shan! Get out of here!”
Seeing that the palm print was about to land on Qin Feng, a loud roar came from the guest seats. No one could see what was going on, but the Li Zhou Hai Clan’s Clan Head, Hai Yuanba, was already standing in the middle of the crowd. He just casually punched in front of him, the palm print dissipated, and the gale calmed down.
