Next up, we will be auctioning a jin of Meng Lang's blood. Although the Wolf's Blood was only a Rank 3 Demonic Beast, it was a hybrid demonic beast, and the special effects of the Wolf's Blood made one crave for it. No matter if it was crafting or concocting pills, or even using it to heal a person's wounds and recover his physical strength, Meng Lang's blood was still the best of the best. "If a large power buys it, they can use it as a gift to their juniors. To a Spirit Origin Stage cultivator, it is also a pretty good item.

"Now, the auction begins. The starting price is three hundred low-grade spirit stones, and each increment must be at least thirty low-grade spirit stones."

With the hammer of the auctioneer, the sixth item officially started.

In the main hall, an old man wearing a navy blue robe raised the sign in his hand and shouted, "Three hundred and thirty!"

A plump, beautiful woman elegantly raised her right hand and shouted, "Three hundred and sixty!"

At this moment, a lazy young voice came from a booth on the second floor: "Four hundred."

Any person who could appear in the VIP area on the second floor of Flowing Water Pavilion was no pushover. They either possessed great strength or had terrifying background resources.

If a person on the first floor didn't especially want something, they wouldn't fight with the big figures on the second floor for it.

Not to mention that although Meng Lang's blood was precious, four hundred low-grade spirit stones were just enough to buy a kilogram of it. If he continued to bid, it would not be worth it.

As the lobby of the first floor quieted down, the auctioneer raised his eyebrows and dropped his hammer: "Four hundred dollars per bid, is there anyone else who wants to continue bidding?"

"Whap."

"Four hundred dollars going twice. Is there anyone else bidding?"

"Pah!"

At this moment, a rather loud voice rang out from the second floor, "Five hundred!"

"Hu!"

The people of Flowing Water Pavilion immediately cast their gazes towards the source of the voice, then they saw Liu Qingxi's seating area.

"Eh? Isn't that Flowing Water Pavilion's Young Miss Liu Qingxi's seating? "

"Liu Qingxi brought a guest to bid?"

"That's obviously a man's voice."

"Five hundred pieces... He sure is rich …] Directly jumping from four hundred to five hundred, the difference between the two would be a whole hundred. "

"Four hundred low-grade spirit stones for a jin of Meng Lang's blood is just right. If I were to add another hundred, it would just be a waste."

The person who had shouted 400 years ago lazily spoke once again from the booth, "Since you are Lady Liu's friend and you are so eager to learn this, I shall enjoy myself for the rest of my life. I will not continue to bid on this item."

Since this person mentioned Liu Qingxi by name, Liu Qingxi naturally had to reply.

Liu Qingxi slowly stood up and her upper body revealed itself from the seating area, then she lightly nodded towards the seating area where the lazy owner of the voice was. She said, "Young Master Hu, this person came from the outer force, Cloud Climbing City, and came to the Tiger Smoke City to participate in the Hidden Dragon Gate's official selection competition. He can't be considered my friend, but he was only able to sit with me due to a fortuitous opportunity, but no matter what, Qingxi has to thank Young Master Hu for his good intentions."

Liu Qingxi rejected her friendship with Chen Chang'e. It wasn't because she wasn't magnanimous enough and wasn't willing to befriend all sorts of people, nor did she really look down on Chen Chang'e at all. It was because she didn't want to owe others a favor.

In the world of cultivation, the most expensive thing would always be favors.

When a certain realm was reached, if one person could not repay the favor owed to another person, it might even produce inner demons that would hinder one's cultivation progress.

Liu Qingxi was absolutely unwilling to owe someone a favor for a completely unrelated person, even if it was a favor that was so small that it could be disregarded.

"Ugh …" "Are you some kid from a remote place outside the city?"

The lazy voice came from the booth once more, "Being able to take out five hundred low-grade spirit stones in one go is quite bold. Although one kilogram of Meng Lang's blood is not worth this amount of money, it has still attracted the interest of this young master. May I have a look at my friends in the booth? "

Chen Chang He squinted his eyes and said loudly: "Thank you for your praise, young master, but I am born black, so even if I stood up in this dark second floor, young master might not be able to see my appearance. I better not stand, young master please forgive me."

Hearing this, some people turned their gazes over.

At the southwest corner of the second floor, two people were seated in a booth. One of them was the matriarch, who was holding onto a walking stick, while the other was a cute girl who was nestling against the matriarch's arm.

The matriarch raised her thin, white brows. "This kid isn't simple at all."

The charming girl said: "How is it not simple?"

The matriarch replied, "If this kid really is like black charcoal, why not just stand up straight away? Why waste this opportunity to curry favor with Young Master Hu?" Even if he were a kid from a backwater power, he should have understood that the person who was able to sit in a booth on the second floor was no ordinary person. However, he still used an unfriendly tone to politely reject Young Master Hu. "

The charming girl shook her head: "What does that mean?"

The matriarch smiled and nodded her head, saying, "Yan'Er, you've grown up in a house like ours, you should understand some things after hearing about it." You are born intelligent, but you are also born lazy. Even though you have a clever brain, you are always too lazy to use it. As long as you think about it, don't you understand what this fellow is trying to do? "

Xu Yan'er shook the matriarch's arm coquettishly and said, "No, no, no." People are born to lie down and never sit down, to sit and never stand, to not think and naturally not think. "

"Good, good, good. Little Ancestor, I really can't stand you."

The matriarch pinched Xu Yan'er's cheek lovingly and said, "This kid was able to use the skin of a tiger as a flag in Liu Qingxi's seating earlier. No one would dare to provoke him even if he bought good stuff. But now that Liu Qingxi had revealed his identity, if he appeared again, it would be extremely dangerous. In the cultivation world, the most common way to kill is to seize a treasure. Therefore, it is really the smartest choice for him to not show his face. "

Xu Yan'er asked, "Then why did he spend another hundred low-grade spirit stones to buy a kilogram of Meng Lang's blood?"

The matriarch replied, "A wise man like him obviously wouldn't waste his money. There's only one possibility — he desperately needs the blood of Meng Lang. He's worried that someone might continue bidding and cause the price to skyrocket." As the price of an item increases bit by bit, people won't pay too much attention to it. However, when the price of an item suddenly increases by a lot, people tend to stop looking at it. He clearly caught on to the thoughts of others. Hu Sanniang, the third son of the Ka Cha, had always considered himself to be a smart person. Naturally, he would not continue to raise the price nor would he miss this opportunity to show favors. "

Xu Yan'er said, "If that's the case, then isn't this kid from the outer sect a little bit too complicated?"

The matriarch nodded. "He's indeed a little clever, but since he's so overly cautious, it's not as simple as taking a picture of Meng Lang's blood. Meng Lang's blood isn't enough for the adults in Flowing Water Pavilion to do something that would harm their identities …" As for the following items, each was more valuable than Meng Lang's blood, and the more precious they were. He came from a mere outer force, a small unknown city, did he even have the financial ability to compete with the heroes on the first and second floor? I suddenly feel a bit of anticipation. "

Xu Yan'er's eyes lit up and she said, "Grandmother, I'm suddenly looking forward to what you've said."
