Long Xuan Prepared to Swindle Someone

"Is there anyone who can get higher?"

"Twelve million Spirit Stone per time!"

"Twelve million Spirit Stone twice!"

"Twelve million Spirit Stone three times!"

"Make a deal!"

The auctioneer 'Shao Shao gavel finally fell.

At the same time, a maid came over carrying a jade tray and placed Storage Bag containing Shao Shao barrels of Spirit-Recovery Wine on the tray. Before the maid could even turn around, she couldn't wait to start auctioning the third item.

This time, she took out a spider with three eyes from the Insect-Rearing Pouch and held it in her hand, introducing it as, "This spider is called the Three-Eyed Spider. It possesses a deadly venom that can kill instantly upon contact with blood, and it is High-grade Spirit Insect."

"High-grade Spirit Insect shouldn't be qualified for this auction, but the Three-Eyed Spider is an endangered species, almost extinct in the Gu World, and extremely difficult to find."

"As the saying goes, scarcity increases value, so such a rare insect species naturally commands a price far exceeding that of a normal High-grade Spirit Insect?"

"Three-Eyed Spider are so rare. If anyone could research a method to breed Three-Eyed Spider and make them reproduce rapidly, it would become a monopolistic business. I don't need to elaborate on how profitable a monopolistic business can be, do I?"

Shao Shao spoke in a seductive voice.

However, the vast majority of people below scoffed at her words, showing disdain.

Do you really think they're fools? If this thing were so easy to raise, it wouldn't be an endangered species.

Unless someone has the Gu Recipe for the Three-Eyed Spider, only a fool would buy it.

"Endangered species typically start at 500,000 spirit stones. The starting bid for the Three-Eyed Spider is 500,000 Spirit Stone. Bidding begins now!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Long Xuan from room number five immediately shouted, "I'll bid 600,000!"

He was preparing to refine Blade Gu, and he needed various kinds of Spirit Insect.

Many rare Spirit Insect are beyond the reach of even Lineage; they can only be obtained by chance.

Today, Long Xuan encountered a rare insect species, and naturally, he wouldn't let it go.

It's clearly unrealistic for Lineage to collect all kinds of Spirit Insect in the Gu World; having a copy of every kind of Spirit Insect in the world would easily arouse suspicion from the Lineage.

Therefore, Long Xuan still had to collect some of the Spirit Insect that were clearly unnecessary for the Dragon Blood Battle Gu Recipe.

This auction is a great opportunity. Auctions often feature extremely rare Spirit Insect, and once you miss this chance, it will be difficult to collect those kinds of Spirit Insect again.

This is one of the reasons why Long Xuan wanted to attend this auction; he wasn't just there to watch the spectacle.

He also needed to take this opportunity to collect some of the materials needed to refine the Five Elements Reversal Array Plate.

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than a familiar voice came from room number ten, "I bid seven hundred thousand Spirit Stone!"

Feng Si looked at room number five with a mocking gaze.

Long Xuan and continued shouting, "Eight hundred thousand!"

"Nine hundred thousand!" Feng Si followed closely behind.

Long Xuan glanced at Feng Si, knowing that he was maliciously trying to inflate his price and deliberately trying to disgust him.

One million!

Long Xuan decided to make this final bid; if he continued to bid, he would pass.

A price of one million is already inflated.

He doesn't necessarily need the Three-Eyed Spider. It's impossible for him to collect every single kind of Spirit Insect in the Gu World. You just can't get your hands on the unique Spirit Insect from distant regions and the major Gu cultivation Lineage.

Therefore, Long Xuan didn't mind losing one Three-Eyed Spider.

However, Feng Si wasn't stupid. He knew that if the price was raised too high, his opponent might back out, leaving him with a bad deal. So, after raising the price to one million, he decisively stopped bidding and looked at Long Xuan with a mocking gaze.

But Long Xuan remained expressionless and showed no anger, which disappointed Feng Si.

"Hmph! I'd like to see how long you can hold out, unless you decide you don't want anything from the auction." Feng Si's lips slowly curled into a smile.

"This person is clearly trying to inflate the price maliciously, trying to make you spend more money unnecessarily!" Long Ziyan frowned.

"It's alright, he's just a clown. I have plenty of ways to deal with him later. No one has ever made me suffer."

Long Xuan said nonchalantly, not taking the matter to heart at all.

The auction continued, with various items being taken out of Shao Shao's storage ring one after another. The auction prices continued to rise, and there was constant and intense bidding, creating a lively atmosphere.

Long Xuan also made his move from time to time, bidding directly for anything that he found useful.

Of course, with Feng Si causing trouble, the prices he bids for are always inflated.

However, Feng Si was also very cunning. Although he would always interfere, he would only raise the price slightly, never too much, keeping the price within the opponent's tolerance range, and knowing when to stop, so as not to leave the opponent with unsatisfactory deals.

Given Feng Si's caution, it wouldn't be an easy task for Long Xuan to trick him.

Long Xuan had already witnessed his caution. This man always liked to be overly cautious in his assessment of his enemies. Even when dealing with someone like himself who was only at the Spirit Gathering Stage at the time, he would call a bunch of Marrow Cleansing Stage experts over. His caution was almost pathological.

However, despite his caution and overconfidence, he still messed things up against Long Xuan in the end.

By this time, everyone in the auction hall had realized that VIP rooms five and ten were engaging in malicious competition, and they were all watching the two rooms with amusement.

Similar situations frequently occur at auctions, where parties with conflicts often engage in malicious bidding wars, resulting in both sides suffering losses while the auction house reaps huge profits. Such incidents are all too common.

The auction proceeded quickly, and before we knew it, it was noon.

However, in such a short period of time, the auction sold quite a few treasures.

Shao Shao simply takes everything out of his storage ring during the auction, which saves a lot of time. This results in a very high volume of items sold at this auction, and the final transaction amount will be an astronomical figure.

At this moment, in private room number five, Long Xuan had more than a dozen High-grade Spirit Insect of various shapes on his table, and he was looking at them intently.

These dozen or so High-grade Spirit Insect are not ordinary High-grade Spirit Insect; they are rare species that are on the verge of extinction, and their prices are much, much higher than normal High-grade Spirit Insect.

They are extremely rare to encounter normally. Some Spirit Insect are so rare that you might not be able to find them even if you spend a hundred years.

At the same time, the cultivation method of these Spirit Insect is unknown to any Gu cultivation Lineage; otherwise, these Spirit Insect would never be rare, nor would they ever become an endangered species.

Long Xuan felt it was such a waste to let Xiaoyue eat them like that. These were all endangered species, almost extinct. It was a great pity for a species to completely disappear in the long river of history.

Long Xuan felt that since he had the ability to research and cultivate all species, he should do his part to protect endangered insect species and prevent them from facing extinction.

Moreover, doing so would also benefit him. Scarcity increases value, and if these endangered insect species could be mass-produced in his hands, he would essentially control a large number of monopolistic businesses, and monopolistic businesses are extremely profitable.

Therefore, he decided to raise all endangered insect species in the insect chamber and use his abilities to research methods for cultivating various rare insect species.

Even if he doesn't have time to raise a large number of Spirit Insect, he can still make an astronomical sum just by selling the technology. In this way, these endangered insect species will not have to go extinct in this world.

As he was examining the insects crawling all over the table, the first half of the auction finally came to an end, and the auction for the final item was about to begin.

Shao Shao smiled and looked around, then took out a black longsword from his storage ring and placed it on the auction table, saying with a smile, "I'm sure you've all been waiting impatiently, haven't you?"

"The auction of the most exciting final item, the Blacknight Longblade, is now officially beginning."

"As we all know, the highest quality Spirit Artifact is the Supreme-grade Spirit Artifact, but in ancient times, the Renowned Artifact was a treasure whose power far surpassed that of the Supreme-grade Spirit Artifact."

"However, the method for crafting Renowned Artifact has long been lost to this world, and currently, no one in the Gu World possesses the skill to craft Renowned Artifact."

"Things are valued for their rarity, so the price of this famous Renowned Blade could be anything, no matter how high. You should all be prepared."

"Anything that's nearly extinct in this world can fetch hundreds of millions at auction. This famous Renowned Blade is now up for auction with a starting bid of one hundred million Spirit Stone. Please begin bidding!"

The next moment, all the Gu cultivators wielding knives in the auction hall turned red-eyed, their breathing became rapid, and they revealed extremely greedy expressions.

Renowned Blade is far superior to Supreme-grade Spirit Blade. Once you get your hands on it, you will be invincible among those of the same level. Anyone who tries to compete with you in swordsmanship will have their sword and blade broken.

However, considering the daunting price of 100 million, most people hesitated.

The price is outrageously high; they couldn't afford it even if they sold everything they owned.

Moreover, the high price of Renowned Blade is mostly due to their rarity, not their value for money; their intrinsic worth could never exceed 100 million.

Therefore, bidding for this Renowned Blade, which costs over 100 million, is not cost-effective at all. Unless you are extremely wealthy, most people don't have the courage to bid.

Looking at the long black sword on the auction table, Long Xuan's lips slowly curled up. His gaze drifted towards VIP room number ten, and he deliberately took the Silvermoon Mantis out of the Insect-Rearing Pouch and placed it on the ground in a conspicuous position so that everyone could see it.

"Xiaoyue, what do you think of that Renowned Blade? Does it suit you? If you like it, I'll buy Renowned Blade and give it to you. This Renowned Blade will be your first transformation item," Long Xuan said with a smile.

Upon seeing the long black sword, like a sharp blade in the night, Xiaoyue's eyes immediately lit up, and she nodded quickly, clearly liking the sword very much.

Seeing its appearance, Long Xuan's smile widened, and he immediately stood up and shouted loudly down, "I bid two hundred million! I'm determined to have this sword!"

"As everyone knows, Renowned Blade is the best item for the transformation of Blade Gu. I hope you will all give the Long Family some face!"
