Qin Yun: I Think He's Deliberately Targeting Us!

"It's that guy again!"

"Are those people in there shills for the Myriad Treasures Pavilion?"

"..."

The cultivators present began to discuss amongst themselves, each offering their own opinion.

Only the two elders from the Great Evolution Holy Land fell silent.

What on earth are these guys at the Dao-Seeking Academy up to?

Could it be that they've reached some kind of agreement with the Myriad Treasures Pavilion? If so, I really don't know what they're planning to film today.

After some hesitation, the two decided not to follow the filming. A little over a million low-grade spirit stones wasn't much for important figures like them, but they weren't willing to be taken advantage of.

Qin Yun was also stunned. He was just curious about the Qilin bone and was taking pictures of it for fun. How could someone be trying to take it from him?

Could it be true, as others have said, that the person sitting in that private room was a plant from the Myriad Treasures Pavilion?

Seeing this, the deputy city lord of Sword-Forging City whispered, "Xiao Yun, our target is still ahead. You only have 1.5 million spirit stones at your disposal."

Qin Yun was stunned, but recalling the absurd things he had done in Sword-Forging City, he understood why his great-uncle would say such a thing.

He scratched his head awkwardly. "Uncle, don't worry, I will absolutely not fight with that scoundrel."

At the same time, Gu Sanbian continued bidding, "One million one hundred thousand once, twice, three times, sold!"

Congratulations to the distinguished guest in VIP room number nine for successfully bidding on this ancient artifact.

The auction hall was completely silent.

Cao Youqian sat calmly in his seat, sipping his tea, without even asking Ye Beixuan any further questions.

The auction continued, and soon the sixteenth item was up for auction.

Gu Sanbian said, "Distinguished guests, the next treasure to be auctioned is also an ancient relic, but this treasure is a piece of Demon God Bone!"

These words caused an uproar among the cultivators at the auction.

"Did Myriad Treasures Pavilion unearth the cave of some ancient Devil God? First a Qilin bone, and now a Demon God Bone."

"Hurry up, you invincible old man, we also want to broaden our horizons."

"..."

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, seven or eight tall cultivators slowly appeared on the auction stage carrying a gilded box.

Everyone, including Xiao Chen, focused their attention on the enormous box.

Ye Beixuan then focused his attention on Qin Yun, wanting to see if the people from Sword-Forging City would make a move.

Click click...

As the gilded box was opened.

All the people saw was a five-foot-long, crystal-clear Demon God Bone, radiating a terrifying aura, lying quietly in the gilded box.

Many cultivators felt their souls tremble at just one glance.

"This... this is a Saint Rank Demon God Bone!"

A gasp of surprise erupted from the crowd.

The big shots in the three private rooms behind remained as quiet as ever.

Although Saint Rank Demon God Bone are not common, they are not particularly remarkable treasures to them.

Gu Sanbian began his slow introduction. "Ladies and gentlemen, according to the appraisal of my Myriad Treasures Pavilion, this Demon God Bone was left behind by a divine son of a Saint Realm expert. It contains terrifying power and divinity. Even after countless years, its divinity has hardly diminished. This Demon God Bone can be used to forge sacred artifacts..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the auction hall erupted in excitement once again.

"Old man, tell me quickly, what's the starting bid for this Demon God Bone?"

"This Demon God Bone is coveted by my White Bone Sect White Bone Sect. Nobody else should try to take it from us!"

"..."

Gu Sanbian was very satisfied with everyone's reaction. He smiled slightly and said, "The starting price for this Demon God Bone is ten million low-grade spirit stones. Each bid must be at least one million low-grade spirit stones higher. Let the auction begin."

As soon as he finished speaking, a chorus of bids erupted in the auction hall.

"Eleven million!"

"Fifteen million!"

"..."

Cao Youqian turned his gaze to Ye Beixuan and asked, "Beixuan, do you think this thing is good?"

Ye Beixuan said, "No rush, let's observe first."

"No problem."

Cao Youqian wasn't particularly interested in this Demon God Bone. It belonged to a Devil God's son who had fallen countless years ago. Although he was a Saint in life, time had passed, and it was hard to say how much divinity remained in that Demon God Bone.

"Twenty million!"

Seeing the price steadily rising, Qin Yun also started bidding.

Their goal this time Sword-Forging City, was this Demon God Bone.

If their Sword-Forging City could obtain this Demon God Bone and forge it into a holy sword...

Then the patriarch of Sword-Forging City can also take this opportunity to break through to the Half-Saint Realm.

This auction was, in a sense, a huge gamble for them.

"Twenty-one million!"

"Twenty-two million!"

The surrounding cultivators were not deterred by Qin Yun's price.

"Twenty-five million!"

Qin Yun immediately raised the price.

Thirty million!

From his seat in the White Bone Sect, a powerful figure wearing a bone mask, obscuring his true appearance, spoke directly.

The price immediately deterred many factions from continuing their pursuit of the Demon God Bone.

Thirty-five million!

Qin Yun shouted loudly.

Upon hearing this bid, the deputy city lord of Sword-Forging City gestured with a seven to Qin Yun, indicating that he could bid up to seventy million low-grade spirit stones.

Forty million!

The White Bone Sect's powerful figure maintained the same tone.

Ye Beixuan narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched the two bidders, thinking to himself: Could the key be hidden within this Demon God Bone?

"Second Brother, you can start bidding now."

Cao Youqian laughed and said, "Then watch my performance! Fifty million!"

The price wasn't exactly an exaggeration, but hearing that familiar voice brought back the previous thoughts to everyone's minds.

The price-gouging guys are here again.

The cultivators from Sword-Forging City and the White Bone Sect all turned to look at the private room where the students from the Dao-Seeking Academy were, their eyes filled with doubt.

Without saying a word, Qin Yun continued bidding, "Sixty million!"

Sixty-five million!

The powerful members of the White Bone Sect did not back down.

Qin Yun: "Seventy million!"

Cao Youqian's lips curled into a slight smile, "Seventy-five million!"

After he finished speaking, the cultivators from the White Bone Sect and Sword-Forging City fell silent; the price had exceeded their expectations.

The White Bone Sect cultivators began whispering among themselves, debating whether to continue the bidding.

Qin Yun clenched his fists and muttered angrily, "That shill Uncle has gone too far! I feel like he's deliberately targeting our Sword-Forging City!"

The deputy city lord of Sword-Forging City shook his head and said, "He's probably not a shill, but rather a spoiled brat from some powerful force. We probably won't be able to get the Demon God Bone this time."

Qin Yun said, "So, are we just going to give up like this?"

"No rush, let's see what those White Bone Sect guys are planning first."

The deputy city lord of Sword-Forging City turned his gaze to the White Bone Sect. He had one more thing to say: if they couldn't win the competition, they would have to give up.

"Seventy-six million, to be settled with treasures."

The powerful figure from the White Bone Sect gritted his teeth and said.

"Eighty million."

Cao Youqian spoke in a very casual tone, as if so many spirit stones were just a number to him.

Upon hearing this offer, the cultivators from the White Bone Sect and Sword-Forging City all chose to remain silent.

Seeing this Gu Sanbian continued, "Eighty million, are there any friends who want to raise the bid?"

After a few breaths, Gu Sanbian spoke again, "Eighty million once, twice, three times, deal!"
