"Gu Sheng."
Her voice was trembling, and her slender fingers were twisting the corners of her clothes unconsciously.
"I didn't expect you to offend Qi Shaoling for me and spend so many spiritual stones."
Her eyes fell on the storage ring in Gu Sheng's hand, which contained the demon pill that had just been bought at a sky-high price.
Hundreds of thousands High-grade Spirit Stone, even for her who comes from a big family, it is still a large amount of money.
Ye Yiyi, chest rising and falling slightly.
"You know what? I feel now that I was right to have a falling out with my family. If I follow their arrangements, I may be in trouble for the rest of my life."
Her voice became lower and lower, almost to herself.
"I've never met anyone who touches me as much as you."
When she said the last few words, her voice was choked, and the tears in her eyes shone brightly under the light, as if they would fall down the next moment.
Gu Sheng frowned and turned to look at her.
His eyes were so calm that they were almost indifferent, in stark contrast to Ye Yiyi's excitement.
"Ye Yiyi."
He interrupted her directly, his voice calm and clear.
"I think you misunderstood. I never said that I took the picture of this demon pill to help you."
Ye Yiyi's body froze suddenly, as if he had been struck by an invisible lightning bolt.
"I'm interested in the demon pill itself."
Gu Sheng continued without any fluctuation in his tone.
"That's all."
The noisy sounds of the auction venue seemed to disappear at this moment.
Ye Yiyi stood there blankly, his lips trembling slightly, but he couldn't make any sound.
Her face turned from red to white, then from white to green, and finally settled on an almost transparent paleness.
"I"
She opened her mouth, but only a single sound came out.
Gu Sheng has turned around and put the misunderstood demon pill into the storage ring.
His movements were crisp and neat, without any lingering, as if he were handling an ordinary item.
Ye Yiyi's eyes followed his movements, but their eyes gradually lost focus.
She felt like a joke. All those emotions and confessions just now turned into sharp swords piercing her.
A stick of incense has passed and the auction is still going on.
Ye Yiyi stood there like a statue, even his breathing became inaudible.
The cold words of Gu Sheng kept replaying in her mind, and every word was like a knife gouging out her heart.
"Distinguished guests."
Yuexia's clear voice echoed throughout the audience again.
"All the auction items in the first half have ended, and now we will enter the finale of this auction!"
The originally unfocused audience immediately cheered up, and everyone's eyes were focused on the stage.
Even Ye Yiyi, who was immersed in pain, raised his head involuntarily.
Four warriors with powerful aura escorted a jade slip onto the stage.
Each of them has at least the peak strength of the Spirit Sea Realm, but at this moment, they are looking around vigilantly as if facing a formidable enemy. It is obvious that the value of this jade slip is not trivial.
Yuexia took the jade slip carefully, with a rare solemn expression on her face.
"Everyone, what is recorded in this jade slip is a spiritual killing martial art called 'Void God Slaying Slash'."
She paused, making sure everyone's attention was on her.
"This is the natal martial skill of a king-level warrior!"
"Wow"
The whole place was in an uproar.
A king-level expert is one who stands at the pinnacle of martial arts! Their natural martial arts skills are all earth-shattering.
Yuexia smiled slightly and continued.
"Not only that, the person who wins the bid for this method will also get an additional quota to enter Purple Cloud Grotto-Heaven! The starting price is one million High-grade Spirit Stone!"
"Hiss"
There was a gasp in the audience.
Purple Cloud Grotto-Heaven, that is the legendary holy land of cultivation. It is only opened once every ten years, and only a few people are allowed to enter at a time.
"The natal martial arts of a king-level expert plus Purple Cloud Grotto-Heaven quota"
Someone murmured.
"This is such a great opportunity!"
"Two million!"
Someone immediately shouted loudly.
"Two million three hundred thousand!"
"Two and a half million!"
Bidding came one after another, and the price climbed rapidly.
Gu Sheng also had enthusiasm in his eyes.
What he currently lacks most is the mental killing technique. This martial art is tailor-made for him.
Just when he was about to raise the sign to increase the price, a voice as light as spring water suddenly came from the corner of the hall.
"Three million."
The sound was not loud, but it spread clearly throughout the entire auction venue.
What was even more surprising was that the speaker continued.
"Everyone upstairs, can you give me Mu Xue some face?"
The whole place fell silent instantly, and everyone turned to look at the source of the sound.
It was a girl in a plain white dress, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a face that was too delicate to look like a mortal.
She stood there quietly, but her whole body seemed to be shrouded in a hazy halo, making people afraid to look directly.
"Mu Xue?"
Someone wondered in a low voice.
"I've never heard of this guy."
However, what happened next made everyone's eyes widen.
In the first-class private room, Little Princess from the Azure Blood Divine Sect chuckled.
"Since Miss Mu wants it, I Azure Blood Divine Sect quit."
The young master of Class A Room No. 2, Skyfire Divine Sect, also immediately expressed his stance.
"Skyfire Divine Sect also quits, so I should form a good relationship with Miss Mu."
A deep male voice came from the private room No. 4 of Class A.
"On behalf of the Xuanming Sect, I withdraw from this bidding."
One after another, representatives of major forces expressed their intention to withdraw, as if this girl named Mu Xue had some kind of formidable background.
In the second-class private room, Qi Shaoling stood up suddenly, his face full of shock and confusion.
As the young city lord of Xiaguang City, he knew almost all the prominent figures in southern Xinjiang, but he had never heard of the name "Mu Xue".
In the auction house, Fairy Yuexia's cold voice echoed in every corner.
"Congratulations to Fairy Miao for winning the king-level martial arts skill 'Void God Slaying Slash' for three million High-grade Spirit Stone!"
She waved her jade hand lightly, and a jade slip glowing with blue light slowly rose from the auction table.
"According to the rules, I will personally escort the auction item to you."
Gu Sheng was sitting in the elegant room, his face was as usual, but his fingertips were trembling slightly under the table.
His eyes glanced at the slim figure Miao Muxue not far away, who was standing up gracefully, her skirt rippling like water.
"No need to bother Fairy Yuexia."
Miao Muxue's voice suddenly became cold and distant, completely different from the delicate tone just now.
"Just give me the token representing your quota. As for this martial skill"
She turned her head and looked in the direction of Gu Sheng, with a meaningful smile on her lips.
"Just give it to Mr. Gu."
Gu Sheng's pupils suddenly contracted.
The moment Miao Muxue stood up, he was keenly aware of the change in the other person's aura. That was not Miao Muxue, but another soul in her body, sister Miao Muqing!
There was an uproar in the private room.
Ye Yiyi The tea cup in her hand cracked open with a crack, and the amber tea soup dripped down her slender fingers.
"Three million High-grade Spirit Stone will give it away as promised?"
Ye Yiyi's voice was trembling, and she stared at Gu Sheng.
"What's your relationship with her?"
Gu Sheng did not answer immediately.
A stream of spiritual power seeped into his sea of consciousness like a trickle, and the voice of Miao Muqing sounded directly in his mind.
"This is my sincerity, and it is also a test. If you can keep this king-level martial arts, you will be qualified to cooperate with us."
Gu Sheng sneered in his heart.
What a conspiracy! This "big gift" is not only a win over, but also a temptation that puts him at the forefront.
I don't know how many pairs of eyes were on this martial art, and Miao Muqing obviously wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife to see if he could survive being surrounded by wolves.
"Mr. Gu?"
Fairy Yuexia has arrived at the door of the elegant room holding the jade slip with questions in his eyes.
Gu Sheng stood up calmly, cupped his hands and said.
"Thank you Fairy Miao for the generous gift."
When he took the jade slip, he felt a biting chill on his fingertips.
The surface of this jade slip, which records King-level martial arts skills, is condensed with fine ice crystals, which is obviously a mark left deliberately by Miao Muqing.
The moment he put the jade slip into the storage ring, Gu Sheng noticed at least seven rays of divine consciousness sweeping over his body.
One of them was particularly cold, coming from the man in gray robe who always lowered his head in the corner of the hall.
"Do you recognize Miao Muxue?"
Ye Yiyi suddenly heard a voice coming into the secret, with an unprecedented solemnity in his voice.
Gu Sheng calmly sat back down and replied via voice transmission.
"A one-sided relationship."
"Heh"
Ye Yiyi sneered.
"Except for my own people, no more than thirty people know the secrets of the Nanhuang lineage. If you and her just met by chance, how could she?"
Before he finished speaking, Fairy Yuexia was ringing the jade chime on the auction stage.
"The Purple Cloud Grotto-Heaven quota will be auctioned next. The starting price is 300,000 High-grade Spirit Stone. Each increase in price shall not be less than 50,000."
Bidding sounds came and went, but Gu Sheng turned a deaf ear.
He stared at Ye Yiyi's eyes that suddenly became extremely bright and said through the voice.
"Miss Ye seems to know Sister Miao Fairy very well?"
"It's just a matter of cooperation."
Ye Yiyi responded to him with what Gu Sheng just said, with a sly look in his eyes.
"But."
She suddenly came closer, and the faint fragrance from her hair penetrated the tip of Gu Sheng's nose.
"After the auction, how about we come to my place to discuss it in detail?"
Gu Sheng did not answer immediately.
He noticed that Ye Yiyi's emotions became extremely vivid after a brief trance, as if a layer of disguise had faded away.
What's even more strange is that when she mentioned "residence", her fingertips unconsciously drew a strange rune on the table. It was a secret handprint that only the inner disciples of the Purple Cloud Divine Sect understood.
"Miss Ye Why don't you bid?"
Gu Sheng asked suddenly.
"With your financial resources, it shouldn't be difficult to get a spot."
Ye Yiyi raised his eyebrows as if he heard a joke.
"Are you stupid? I am a disciple of the Purple Cloud Divine Sect, and my master is the current leader."
She said this in a casual tone, but it shocked Gu Sheng's heart.
No wonder! Gu Sheng finally understood why Ye Yiyi always felt a sense of disobedience.
She looks lively and lively, but in fact, every movement coincides with the rhythm of heaven. This is a sign that the Purple Cloud Divine Sect Zhenpai Kung Fu "Purple Qi Comes from the East Art" has been cultivated to perfection!
"Then why are you."
Gu Sheng The words reached his lips and he swallowed them back.
He suddenly realized that Ye Yiyi's appearance at the auction was no accident, and her understanding of sisters Miao Muqing was far beyond ordinary people.
Ye Yiyi seemed to see through his mind and chuckled.
"Last question. Why haven't you taken action yet?"
She pointed at the price tag that had soared to eight hundred thousand.
"If we wait any longer, all the good positions will be taken away."
Gu Sheng looked at the auction table and said calmly.
"What I want is the last, or second to last, spot."
"Oh?"
Ye Yiyi is interested.
"The bidding is too conspicuous now."
Gu Sheng glanced at several private rooms that were undergoing fierce bidding.
"The later you go, the truly powerful buyers will take action. And"
The corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"The person who takes the photo first must be careful about being robbed and killed along the way, right?"
Ye Yiyi's pupils shrank, and when he was about to speak, a hoarse voice suddenly came from the hall.
"One million and two hundred thousand!"
The whole place was in an uproar.
The price jumped directly from 800,000 to 1.2 million, a full increase of 400,000! What's even more surprising is that the bidder is actually an inconspicuous gray-robed man in the hall.
Gu Sheng's eyes narrowed.
It was the person who used his cold consciousness to probe him just now! At this moment, the man in gray robe raised his head, revealing a face covered with scars. The most eye-catching thing was a blood-red vertical mark between his eyebrows. Miao Jiang Witch Clan's unique "Blood Curse Seal"!
"Miao Ren!"
Ye Yiyi exclaimed in a low voice.
"He's actually still alive"
Gu Sheng's heart is ringing with alarm bells.
Miao Ren was an evil cultivator who was famous in southern Xinjiang twenty years ago. It is said that he died due to backlash for practicing taboo witchcraft.
Unexpectedly, this person was not only alive, but also appeared at the auction!
"One million and eight hundred thousand."
A young but majestic female voice came from the private room opposite.
The bead curtain was lifted, revealing a girl in red, about twelve or thirteen years old.
She stepped barefoot into the air, leaving bloody lotus marks in the void with every step she took.
"Little Princess of the Azure Blood Divine Sect"
Ye Yiyi's face turned ugly.
"This is the last quotation of the Azure Blood Divine Sect. How about you guys give me some face?"
"One million and eighty million High-grade Spirit Stone, the third time! Congratulations to fellow Daoist Azure Blood Divine Sect from Class B Classroom for winning the first Purple Cloud Grotto-Heaven quota!"
Fairy Yuexia The crisp sound echoed in the auction room, and the jade mallet in his hand fell gently, making a crisp sound.
Gu Sheng was sitting on the seat in the lobby, tapping his fingers on the armrest unconsciously.
Two million High-grade Spirit Stone. This price far exceeded his expectations.
He frowned slightly, thinking to himself.
"Purple Cloud Grotto-Heaven is good, but it's not worth spending such a huge sum of money."
"The bidding for the second quota will now begin. The starting price is one million High-grade Spirit Stone. Each increase in price shall not be less than one hundred thousand."
Fairy Yuexia's red lips parted slightly, and her gaze swept across the audience.
"One and a half million!"
A clear female voice came from Room No. 3, Class A, with undoubted arrogance in her voice.
Gu Sheng Follow the sound and see a slender figure vaguely visible behind the gauze curtain in the elegant room.
"Azure Blood Divine Sect's Little Princess directly quoted the lowest price"
A monk next to him murmured in a low voice.
"Two million."
Another lazy male voice then sounded from the private room No. 5 in Class A.
There was an uproar in the venue.
Gu Sheng squinted his eyes and recognized the voice of young master Skyfire Divine Sect.
"Skyfire Divine Sect bids two million, is there anything higher?"
Fairy Yuexia had joy in his eyes.
Azure Blood Divine Sect's Little Princess was silent for a moment, but ultimately did not increase the price.
The second quota was also sold for two million High-grade Spirit Stone.
As the auction progressed, the price climbed steadily.
