"Qi Shaoling, are you bullying people again?"
The sound was not loud, but it made the entire third floor instantly quiet.
Qi Shaoling's hand froze in mid-air, and his face became extremely ugly.
Gu Sheng turned around and saw a woman in white clothes walking slowly.
She was about 27 or 28 years old, with a delicate but cold face, and a slender silver soft sword hanging from her waist.
The most eye-catching thing is the purple and gold emblem Purple Cloud Divine Sect Law Enforcement Hall she wears on her chest!
"Sister Ye Ye."
Qi Shaoling's momentum suddenly weakened, and he retracted his hand slyly.
Ye Yiyi glanced at him coldly.
"Go back to your private room, and let me see you bullying others again. I don't mind disciplining your son for the city lord."
Qi Shaoling's face turned blue and white, and he gritted his teeth.
"Ye Yiyi, don't go too far! My aunt"
"Seventh Elder If she knew that you were using her name to act tyrannically, I'm afraid she would be the first one not to spare you."
Ye Yiyi interrupted him, his voice was like ice.
"Or do you want me to tell you what you did to my sister three years ago again in public?"
This sentence was like a sharp sword, directly piercing Qi Shaoling's disguise.
There was panic in his eyes, but in the end he just snorted and led his men dejectedly towards the fourth-floor Accord.
The auction house was buzzing with people.
Gu Sheng was sitting on an ordinary seat on the third floor, looking around.
The entire auction house is circular in shape and divided into four floors. The higher you go up, the more distinguished you are.
The curtains of the dozen or so private rooms on the fourth floor were tightly closed at the moment, but one could vaguely feel the powerful aura emanating from them.
"Hey, what are you looking at?"
A crisp female voice came from beside him. Gu Sheng turned his head and saw a girl in a lavender dress tilting her head to look at him.
The girl is about seventeen or eighteen years old, with almond-shaped eyes and cherry lips, picturesque features, and an exquisite purple jade token hanging around her waist.
"Just take a look."
Gu Sheng looked back and spoke calmly.
The girl curled her lips.
"You are so boring. My name is Ye Yiyi. What about you?"
"Gu Sheng."
"Gu Sheng?"
Ye Yiyi blinked.
"I've never heard of this guy. Which sect are you from?"
Gu Sheng frowned slightly and did not answer.
Ye Yiyi Seeing that he ignored her, she snorted softly, stopped talking, and closed her eyes to rest.
As time went by, the seats in the auction house gradually filled up.
When the last customer entered, the lights in the entire auction room suddenly dimmed, leaving only a bright white light on the central stage.
"It's about to begin."
Ye Yiyi suddenly opened his eyes, with a bit of excitement in his tone.
Gu Sheng stared slightly, and saw a woman in a red dress slowly walking out from the stage.
The woman was about thirty years old, with extremely beautiful appearance, but her whole body exuded heart-stopping fluctuations of energy.
"A strong man in the clan realm."
Gu Sheng was shocked.
Being able to invite a powerful person from the sect realm to host the auction shows that Purple Cloud Residence has a profound background.
"That's Martial Aunt Yuexia, my master's little junior sister."
Ye Yiyi suddenly came close to Gu Sheng's ear and whispered.
"She is Branch Master of Xiaguang City Branch, and she is also the strongest person here."
Warm breath blew against his ears, and Gu Sheng moved to the side calmly.
"Why would a strong man from the sect show up to host the auction?"
Ye Yiyi smiled mysteriously.
"Because of today's large-scale auction."
"What kind of auction item is worthy of being personally attended by a powerful person from the sect?"
"Purple Cloud Grotto-Heaven's entry quota."
Ye Yiyi Lower your voice.
"Only three places are released at a time, and the major forces in southern Xinjiang are competing for the top spot."
Gu Sheng had a glint in his eyes.
Purple Cloud Grotto-Heaven, that is one of the top three Grotto-Heaven blessed places in southern Xinjiang. It is said that the spiritual energy inside is more than ten times that of the outside world, and there are countless natural and earthly treasures.
"You're here for Purple Cloud Grotto-Heaven, right?"
Ye Yiyi asked suddenly.
Gu Sheng glanced at her.
"Why can't it be?"
Ye Yiyi chuckled.
"Do you know how many spiritual stones you need to prepare for a quota?"
"How much?"
"At least one million High-grade Spirit Stone is enough to be sure."
Ye Yiyi stretched out his slender fingers and gestured.
"Last year, the last spot sold for a whopping price of 1.3 million."
Gu Sheng's brows jumped.
One million High-grade Spirit Stone, this number is truly astonishing.
Although he has some savings in his hands, he is still far from this amount.
"Have you seen those private rooms on the fourth floor?"
Ye Yiyi points to high places.
"Little Princess of the Azure Blood Divine Sect, Young Sect Master of the Skyfire Divine Sect, Second Elder of the Nine Heavens Divine Sect. All the famous big shots in southern Xinjiang are here today."
Gu Sheng followed her hand and made plans in his mind.
It seemed that the scale of this auction was far beyond his expectation, with the top leaders of numerous religious sects and major sects in southern Xinjiang gathered here.
"Thanks for letting me know."
Gu Sheng said lightly.
Ye Yiyi waved his hand.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm just bored and looking for someone to chat with."
Gu Sheng glanced at her with a half-smile.
"You know a lot about Purple Cloud Residence?"
"Of course!"
Ye Yiyi puffed up his chest and looked proud.
"The total number Purple Cloud Residence is my father."
Halfway through her words, she suddenly realized something and quickly covered her mouth.
Gu Sheng had a clear look in his eyes, but he didn't point it out.
"If the spiritual stones are not enough, can I use other things to offset it?"
Gu Sheng asked suddenly.
Ye Yiyi blinked.
"It's possible, but Purple Cloud Residence has a very high vision. Generally, things that are not popular can't be discerned."
Gu Sheng nodded and said no more words.
In his hand is a Zongjing magic weapon "Frost Sword" seized from the Tianyou Sect Youyun. It is estimated that it can be sold for one million High-grade Spirit Stone, which should be enough to bid for a place.
While the two were talking, Yuexia on the stage spoke, her voice as cold as frost.
"The auction starts now."
There was silence in the auction hall. Hundreds of pairs of eyes stared at the jade slips glowing with pale golden light on the booth, but no one raised a placard.
The air seemed to be frozen, and even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly.
"Heaven-grade High-rank Martial Skill'Spiritual Rhinoceros Finger', starting price is fifty thousand High-grade Spirit Stone."
The voice of the woman in red, Yuexia, was like a clear spring striking a stone, which was particularly clear in the silent hall.
"If no one bids, the auction will be declared unsuccessful after ten breaths."
Gu Sheng was sitting in the back row, tapping the armrest of the seat with his fingers.
Although this martial art is good, the price of fifty thousand High-grade Spirit Stone is really expensive.
He turned his head and looked at Ye Yiyi beside him, who was staring at the booth intently, with a strange light in his eyes.
"Five, four, three"
Yuexia began to count down, her voice was neither urgent nor slow.
Just when the count was about to end, Yuexia suddenly chuckled.
"It seems that you are not very interested in this martial arts. But..."
Her long fingers caressed the jade slip.
"This 'Spiritual Rhinoceros Finger' was created by me three years ago, and the winner will be taught it by me personally."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire auction hall seemed to explode.
"Fifty-five thousand!"
"Sixty thousand!"
"Seventy thousand!"
Quotes came and went, and prices climbed at an alarming rate.
Gu Sheng frowned slightly and turned to look at Ye Yiyi.
"Is this price too high?"
Ye Yiyi A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Yuexia is the sub-Branch Master of Xiaguang City Branch, and her status is second only to the total Branch Master. These people"
She glanced at the warriors in the front row raising their cards crazily.
"It's just an opportunity to cling on."
Gu Sheng suddenly realized.
He glanced at the front row, and sure enough, most of them were local martial artists from Xiaguang City. They were all vying for quotations with red faces, as if it was no longer a martial skill, but a ticket to the upper level.
"Three hundred and fifty thousand!"
A rich voice spoke louder than all the quotes.
Everyone looked around and saw a middle-aged man in a brocade robe standing up slowly.
"It's Shopkeeper Liu from Tianyun Workshop."
Ye Yiyi whispered.
"It looks like today's winner has been decided."
A satisfied smile appeared on Yuexia's face.
"The first, second, transaction of 350,000 yuan! Congratulations to Shopkeeper Liu."
She nodded slightly.
"After the auction, I will personally visit you."
Shopkeeper Liu raised his hands to all around with a red face, as if he had received a great honor.
Yuexia patted her palms lightly, and two attendants lifted up a silver-white spear.
"The second lot is the heavenly mid-grade magic weapon 'Cloud-Breaking Spear', with a starting price of two thousand High-grade Spirit Stone."
Gu Sheng was not very interested in marksmanship and was about to close his eyes to rest when Ye Yiyi suddenly came closer.
"Brother Gu, how many spiritual stones have you prepared this time?"
"It's okay."
Gu Sheng asked vaguely.
"Why, Miss Ye has something you like?"
Ye Yiyi bit his lower lip, with hesitation in his eyes.
"There is an item in the back that I am determined to get, but I may not have enough spiritual stones on hand."
She raised her eyes and looked directly at Gu Sheng.
"Brother Gu, if it's convenient, can you help me get it? I, Ye Yiyi, owe you a favor."
Gu Sheng did not answer immediately and turned his attention to the booth again.
At this time, the price of Cloud-Breaking Spear had been raised to 5,000 High-grade Spirit Stone, and several marksmanship warriors were furious.
"What does Miss Ye want?"
Gu Sheng finally spoke.
"It's too early to tell."
Ye Yiyi smiled mysteriously.
"But it shouldn't be a necessity for Brother Gu."
Gu Sheng snorted lightly.
"Miss Ye understands me."
"Six thousand four hundred High-grade Spirit Stone!"
A purple-robed warrior in the front row shouted loudly, with determination in his voice.
Yuexia looked around the audience.
"Is there a higher bid?"
announced after a moment's pause.
"Congratulations to the Purple Cloud Divine Sect's Protector Zhao."
After Cloud-Breaking Spear was removed, Yuexia took out an exquisite Jade Box from her sleeve.
When she opened the lid of the box, a strong breath of life instantly filled the entire auction hall, and even the air became thicker.
In the auction house, hundreds of spiritual lamps were suspended in the air, illuminating the entire hall like daylight.
The third auction item, the Sovereign Realm Demon Core glowing with ghostly green light, was placed on the central stand. Fairy Yuexia's slender fingers gently brushed the crystal cover, causing the energy flowing inside the demon pill to tremble slightly.
"Forty-five thousand High-grade Spirit Stone!"
Ye Yiyi stood up suddenly, her tight body lines outlined in her cyan outfit.
Her nails dug into her palms, but she felt no pain.
This is all she can offer. She has been preparing for three years for this demon pill that can refine Soul-Slaying Sword.
A sneer came from the private room on the second floor, and the bead curtain automatically moved without wind, revealing Qi Shaoling's face that made her sick.
"One hundred thousand."
He uttered two words lazily, and unfolded the folding fan in his hand with a "swish", and the golden light of the two characters "Qitian" flowed on the fan.
The auction house was suddenly in an uproar.
Ye Yiyi turned pale and his ears were buzzing.
The price more than doubled, which was clearly intended to force her into a desperate situation.
"Miss Ye If money is tight, why not come up and have a drink with me?"
Qi Shaoling looked down at her, with a light in his eyes like a cat playing with a mouse.
"This demon pill is just a meeting gift."
"You're dreaming!"
Ye Yiyi's chest rose and fell violently.
"I will never forget what you did to my sister three years ago!"
Qi Shaoling's smile froze, and the folding fan closed with a snap.
"I don't know how to praise."
He turned to the auction table.
"Fairy Yuexia, can you announce the results?"
Just as Yuexia was about to speak, a deep voice suddenly came from the corner.
"One hundred and ten thousand."
All eyes in the audience turned to the source of the sound.
Gu Sheng was leaning on the sandalwood chair, the shadow of the black cloak covering most of his face, only revealing his well-defined jaw.
His fingertips tapped the handrail, and the rhythm strangely coincided with Ye Yiyi's suddenly accelerating heartbeat.
"Brother Gu Gu?"
Ye Yiyi couldn't believe his eyes.
This man who met by chance at the inn and was silent all the way would actually take action at this moment?
Qi Shaoling narrowed his eyes.
"One hundred and twenty thousand."
"One hundred and fifty thousand."
Gu Sheng didn't even raise his eyelids, as if he was just talking about the weather.
"Two hundred thousand!"
Qi Shaoling suddenly slapped the table and stood up, and the Ling Mu railing of the private room cracked a crack.
This price has exceeded the actual value of the demon pill by more than three times.
You can hear a pin drop in the auction room.
Everyone felt two invisible qi machines colliding in the air, and those with weaker cultivation levels began to sweat on their foreheads.
Ye Yiyi bit his lower lip, the smell of blood spreading in his mouth.
She didn't understand why Gu Sheng was involved in this dispute, let alone what the emotions that were surging in her at the moment were.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand."
Gu Sheng finally raised his head, the eyes under the shadow of the cloak piercing towards the second floor like Cold Star.
A purple gold token flew out of his sleeve, suspended in mid-air and slowly spinning. It was Purple Firmament Token that only the top powers could possess.
"Hiss"
There were gasps from the crowd.
Qi Shaoling The old man in gray clothes behind him hurriedly whispered in his ear.
"Master, the head of the family has told me that there is a quota of Purple Cloud Grotto-Heaven."
Qi Shaoling's face was ashen, and the folding fan in his hand broke into two pieces with a "click".
"Very good!"
He stared at Gu Sheng eerily.
"I wonder whose dog this friend belongs to, yet he dares to run wild in Xiaguang City?"
Gu Sheng chuckled, but the laughter caused the surrounding temperature to drop sharply.
"Master Qi Family's education is in line with the rumors."
"You!"
Qi Shaoling was about to attack when the old man in gray grabbed his sleeve tightly.
Finally he snorted coldly.
"Fairy Yuexia, I will give you face today."
After saying that, he threw up his sleeves and left. The bead curtain was shattered by the rioting spiritual power around him.
Yuexia let out a long sigh and waved her jade hand lightly.
"Congratulations to this distinguished guest for winning Sovereign Realm Demon Core for 250,000 High-grade Spirit Stone."
The crystal cover opened in response, and Xuan Jade Box, which contained the demon pill, turned into a stream of light and flew towards Gu Sheng.
Ye Yiyi's eyes were locked tightly on Gu Sheng, with a complicated light in those almond-shaped eyes.
The lights of the auction venue reflected on her slightly red eyes, adding a bit of fragile beauty to that delicate face.
