"Three hundred thousand!"
"Are they crazy?!"
"...Who is it, throwing immortal stones around like dirt?"
"Young Master, three hundred thousand—we'd better not bid any higher." An old servant was sweating profusely. It felt as though the immortal stones of that cultivator raising the bid had been blown in on a gale; there had not been the slightest hesitation in their bidding.
The Young Master's expression turned livid, and he silently nodded.
That bidding momentum made it seem as though no matter how high he raised the price, the other party would immediately crush it. Deliberately driving up the price would be too childish—it would offend others and create karma for himself. Without the strength, it was best to keep his mouth shut.
Within three breaths.
The deal was sealed.
The Ximen private room secured the item.
"Moo~" Big Black Ox turned towards Chen Xun. The latter's eyes had actually fallen into a faint daze. It asked in confusion, "Moo?!"
"Damn it..."
Chen Xun cursed quietly at Big Black Ox. "Old Ox, in the time it takes an incense stick to burn, my spirit seal has increased by a million immortal stones. I can't even spend them as fast as I earn them."
He had not exaggerated at all. In fact, he had even understated it a little, because it should have risen by more than 1.2 million immortal stones.
Big Black Ox froze, then nodded as if it were only natural. That was how it should be...
Chen Xun sighed.
If he saw something useful that he liked, then he might as well spend.
Those cultivators selling these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures behind the scenes—if nothing unexpected happened, the immortal stones they earned from him would likely slowly flow back into his spirit seal through all sorts of channels
