Two Hundred Million Supreme Spirit Stones to Feed a Cat

This was an Enlightenment Pill! A medicinal pill that could directly raise someone in the Dao Integration Realm by a minor level.

But everyone knew that this Enlightenment Pill would definitely be fought over by the major sects and great families. Its starting price might be terrifyingly high, but that was fine—they could treat it as a spectacle!

"Enlightenment Pill, starting bid: fifty million high-grade spirit stones. Each increase must be no less than five million high-grade spirit stones."

"Since everyone is still hesitating, let this old man start things off! Fifty-five million high-grade spirit stones!"

The Great Elder of Mingyang Sect spoke casually.

"Sixty million high-grade spirit stones!"

"Seventy million high-grade spirit stones!"

"Seventy-five million high-grade spirit stones!"

The major sects and families were also determined to obtain this Enlightenment Pill.

"Da Bai, do you want this Enlightenment Pill?"

"Really, Master?"

"It's just cheap stuff!"

"Besides, you can't withstand the medicinal effects of the Colored Scale Fruit yet. You might as well eat this Enlightenment Pill and improve yourself."

"Waaah, Master, you're so good to me."

Da Bai looked at Qing Mo with tear-filled eyes.

The price of the Enlightenment Pill had already risen to eight hundred million high-grade spirit stones, and the bids gradually became fewer. Even for a first-rate sect, producing eight hundred million high-grade spirit stones at once would be painfully expensive.

Everyone present was already dumbfounded. Eight hundred million high-grade spirit stones! Where had they ever seen that many spirit stones?

"Yu Rou, how many high-grade spirit stones do we have left?"

"Master, we only have a few tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones left."

Liu Yurou blushed slightly, feeling as though she had spent too much. The two hundred million high-grade spirit stones between her and Qing Mo had been reduced to just a few tens of thousands.

"Use this to bid."

Qing Mo tossed a storage ring to Liu Yurou. Inside lay more than ten thousand Supreme Spirit Stone Veins.

Liu Yurou went completely numb.

"What extravagance!"

"Ninety million supreme spirit stones!"

(Low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, top-grade spirit stones. 1:10)

While Liu Yurou raised the bid, Qing Mo browsed the System Mall to see whether there was a suitable physique for her. Though she possessed an Innate Spirit Physique, it was still too lowly in Qing Mo's eyes.

"Primordial Physique, Chaos Physique, Myriad Dharma Dao Physique..."

Everyone present gasped sharply upon hearing Liu Yurou's bid. Even Hidden Sects were not that extravagant!

Only at the once-every-ten-years auction in the Central Continent would supreme spirit stones be used for bidding.

"Miss, this old man suspects that you simply do not possess that many supreme spirit stones."

"Hehe, I also suspect that you don't have that many supreme spirit stones."

"Does the auction house just allow people to raise prices at will?"

Everyone present looked at Liu Yurou with suspicion.

"You don't have any yourselves, so you can't stand seeing others have them. What a joke.

You can have someone from the auction house come verify it. Let's see whether this young lady can produce this trifling amount of supreme spirit stones!"

Qiu Yue personally went over to verify it. Having hosted so many auctions, she had never seen anyone call out such an astronomical price!

Liu Yurou directly showed her the more than ten thousand Supreme Spirit Stone Veins within the ring, leaving her frozen in shock.

"Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?"

It took her quite a while to recover. As she left the private room, she took a deep look at Qing Mo, who had his eyes closed while petting the cat, seemingly lost in thought.

After Qiu Yue's verification confirmed that Liu Yurou could produce ninety million supreme spirit stones, the entire venue erupted in astonishment.

A single thought arose in many people's hearts: The dry die of drought, the flooded die of water, and I'm poor enough to die.

"Don't kill them too quickly later. Play with them first and see how many people are so eager to take shortcuts. Once you've had enough fun, wipe out the forces behind them as well."

"Yes, Master. Then I'll play with them first."

"Da Bai, stay by my side for now. Only move when I tell you to."

Qing Mo gently patted Da Bai, who was sprawled belly-up in his lap.

"One billion high-grade spirit stones!"

The Great Elder of Mingyang Sect's expression had already turned grim.

"One billion and fifty million high-grade spirit stones. Miss, please give me some face. This prince will surely repay you generously in the future."

"Since this is an auction, the highest bidder wins! Two hundred million supreme spirit stones."

Liu Yurou did not intend to waste any more time and directly doubled the bid.

"Little girl, obtaining something does not necessarily mean it will remain yours."

"It seems this Enlightenment Pill was never meant for me."

Qiu Yue's face was flushed red with excitement. This successful auction had broken her record for the auctions she had hosted, and the girl bidding and the young man sitting in the private room were likely master and servant.

When she had verified the bid earlier, the young man had kept his eyes closed, as if he did not care in the slightest that she saw the Supreme Spirit Stone Veins in the ring. Either the ring was not his, or he simply did not care about the veins inside it.

Qiu Yue leaned more toward the latter.

"Is there anyone offering a higher price? If not, this Enlightenment Pill will belong to this young lady."

The entire venue fell silent.

"Congratulations, Miss, on successfully obtaining this Enlightenment Pill."

Someone immediately delivered the Enlightenment Pill to Liu Yurou. The moment Da Bai saw it, he leaped into Liu Yurou's arms, his eyes fixed on the pill.

In front of everyone present, Liu Yurou placed the Enlightenment Pill into Da Bai's mouth. The aura that was about to erupt was instantly concealed by Liu Yurou, and nothing happened at the scene.

Only the First Prince sensed the slightest anomaly. His sixth sense told him that the cat and the woman were dangerous, and that he absolutely could not make enemies of them.

He trusted his sixth sense greatly. It was precisely because of it that he had survived all the way until now during his trials to advance his cultivation.

"Say any last words you have now. You won't be able to say them later."

Patriarch Lin stared at Liu Yurou with killing intent filling his eyes. The Great Elder of Mingyang Sect was the same.

The people present had already begun calculating how to make a move against Liu Yurou.

After the auction ended, Patriarch Lin and the Great Elder of Mingyang Sect had already brought their people to wait at the entrance for Liu Yurou to come out.

The Purple Frost City Lord had originally been accompanying the First Prince. Seeing a chance to curry favor with the Great Elder of Mingyang Sect, he was stopped by the First Prince.

"If you don't want to die, stay out of this."

The First Prince warned him expressionlessly, then said, "Whatever grudges you have, settle them outside the city. Purple Frost City is the third most prosperous city in the Luotian Dynasty. It would be difficult to explain to my imperial father if it were damaged."

Patriarch Lin immediately agreed, and the Great Elder of Mingyang Sect also gave the First Prince some face. After all, this was not the Eastern Wasteland.

As soon as Qing Mo and Liu Yurou left the auction house, they immediately flew toward the outskirts of the city. Patriarch Lin and the Great Elder followed closely behind, along with many others hoping to claim a share of the spoils.

The moment they reached outside the city, Qing Mo entered a spatial layer, leaving Liu Yurou alone outside. The others also noticed that the man beside her had suddenly vanished. Perhaps he had used some secret technique to abandon the woman and flee.

"Little girl, your eyesight is terrible! You chose such a cowardly man!"

"Stinking woman, this patriarch will cripple you first, then bring you before my son and have you sliced into a thousand pieces!"

To play with them, Liu Yurou deliberately revealed the spiritual power of the late Spirit Refining stage. Patriarch Lin was likewise at the late Spirit Refining stage, but the aura he unleashed was slightly stronger than Liu Yurou's.

Patriarch Lin intended to go all out from the start, leaving Liu Yurou no chance to use any trump cards. Yet the longer they fought, the more alarmed he became. No matter what techniques he used, she easily neutralized them all.
