Ch333 - Participating in the Auction

A few days later, Liu Mufeng and his group left the Lingwu Sect together and rushed to Tianbao City on Bai Yunfei’s flying magic artifact.

Sitting in the cabin, Jiang Xu lightly touched the tables and chairs in the cabin. “Senior Brother’s flying magic artifact is really good, Mufeng, when will we get such a luxurious flying artifact?”

Liu Mufeng smiled. “Don’t worry, we won’t be able to use the flying magic artifact for the time being. After we come back from the Stone Clan ruins, we can directly use a seventh-level flying magic artifact.”

“A seventh-level flying artifact? Do you have it?” Jiang Xu asked in a puzzled manner.

“There are two, one is Ma Feng’s and the other is Sun Xiuwu’s. Sun Xiuwu’s flying artifact is very new, so it should be newly bought. Ma Feng’s flying artifact is not big, not as luxurious as Sun Xiuwu’s.” Liu Mufeng explained.

“But can these two flying artifacts be used? They are all spoils of war. If people in the Sect find out that Ma Feng was killed by us, it will be very troublesome. If people in the Zunhuang Sect see that we use Sun Xiuwu’s flying magic artifact, I guess this would also not be a good thing.” Frowning, Jiang Xu felt that neither of these two flying magic artifacts could be used by them casually.

“It’s okay. When the time comes, find a craftsman and melt the two flying magic artifacts into one. Then we can use it without any issue. However, it is more troublesome to choose a craftsman. It cannot be an Elder in the sect, it’s better to find an outsider.” This matter was quite troublesome, so it was necessary to find a safe craftsman.

“Yeah, that’s good, let’s smelt them into a new one.” For this, Jiang Xu also agreed.

“Senior Brother Bai said that it will take us a month to arrive at Tianbao City.” As he spoke, Liu Mufeng showed a gentle smile, and hugged his wife on the chair into his arms.

Sitting on his lover’s lap, Jiang Xu chuckled. “You, your mind is full of dual cultivation.”

“Now if I don’t pamper you much and leave some good memories for myself, then how would I survive my seclusion?” Liu Mufeng said helplessly as he pressed his wife into his arms.

“Mufeng, tell me, when can we be together every day without being busy in seclusion or cultivation?” Raising his head, Jiang Xu focused on his man.

“When we become cultivators in the Spiritual Sacred Realm. Look at your Master, isn’t he trying to coax his wife every day? When we become such Masters, no one can threaten us, we can do whatever we want. We can live the life we want without being bullied or fearing anyone, and no one would have the ability to separate us.” Saying softly, Liu Mufeng lowered his head and kissed his wife’s forehead.

“Mufeng.” Raising his hand, Jiang Xu gently touched the other man’s cheek.

“What’s wrong?” Liu Mufeng raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

“Idiot.” Liu Mufeng smiled as he fondly rubbed his lover’s hair.

ForXiaoXu, it was his luck to meet him and rewrite the villain’s fate. In the same way, for himself, Liu Mufeng was very lucky to meetXiaoXu who was so simple, so kind, so affectionate, and so worthy of his love in this strange world of cultivation.

***

One month later, Tianbao City auction venue.

Because of the Spiritual Cultivation Pill, Liu Mufeng was very famous now, so, to ensure their safety, both Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu changed their appearances as two of Bai Yunfei’s followers, and walked into the auction venue with Bai Yunfei and Elder Qian.

“Yo, Young Master Bai is here?” Seeing Bai Yunfei, a man in a fine attire followed by two old men came over.

“It’s Young Master Ouyang, are you here to participate in the auction as well?” Smiling, Bai Yunfei greeted the other party.

“That’s right, I came to this auction specially by my Father’s order.” Nodding, the man said so.

“Ei, that’s really a coincidence. I was also ordered to represent the Lingwu Sect to participate in the auction.” Smiling, Bai Yunfei also replied.

“En, Young Master Bai please.”

“Please.” Smiling, Bai Yunfei led everyone into the box they had reserved.

“Young Master, Ouyang is participating, I’m afraid it’s hard to get the Ice Spirit this time.” Sitting beside Bai Yunfei, Elder Qian said worriedly.

Hearing Elder Qian’s voice transmission, Bai Yunfei nodded. “That’s true.” Bai Yunfei and Ouyang Zhao were both Ice Spiritual Root cultivators, Bai Yunfei came for the Ice Spirit treasure, and Ouyang Zhao also came for it in all likelihood. Therefore, Bai Yunfei and Elder Qian were very worried about this matter.

“Mufeng, who was the person talking to my Senior Brother just now? He looked very pompous.” Standing behind Bai Yunfei, Jiang Xu sent a voice transmission to his lover beside him.

“That’s Ouyang Zhao, the Young Master of the Xingluo Sect. Like Senior Brother Bai, this person is an Ice Spiritual Root cultivator. I think he came for that piece of Ice Spirit.” Liu Mufeng had heard about this Young Master Ouyang for a long time. It was said that this person was very arrogant, moreover, he looked down on Bai Yunfei very much, always spoke out to ridicule Bai Yunfei, and had a bad relationship with Bai Yunfei.

“So that’s how it is.” Hearing this, Jiang Xu felt a little troubled.

Not long after, the auction officially started. The first lot to be auctioned was a set of prefecture-level cultivation exercises, with a starting price of five million spirit stones. As soon as the price was announced, the three Young Masters, Bai Yunfei, Ouyang Zhao, and Huangfu Yu, began to bid to get this exercise.

Seeing the flushed faces of the three Young Masters, Liu Mufeng couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth. In fact, he didn’t think it was necessary. There should be a lot of these kinds of skill exercises, whether it was Lingwu Sect, Xingluo Sect or Zunhuang Sect. However, these three guys were fighting so desperately bidding, not necessarily for the book of exercises, but for the sake of face.

There were four major sects in the Zunhuang Continent, namely Lingwu Sect, Zunhuang Sect, Xingluo Sect and Lingyun Sect. The four sects have always been at odds, so the three Young Masters were also at odds. At this moment, the fight was no longer about one skill manual, but about face. The Young Sect Master of Lingyun Sect did not attend this time, otherwise, he would probably participate in this competition as well.

Glancing at the box of Lingyun Sect opposite, Liu Mufeng discovered that the representatives of Lingyun Sect were Jiang Yingxue, Fang Xing, and Liao Shanshan, the Master and two apprentices.

He didn’t expect it to be them. It seemed that Master’s ex liked to join in the fun, but it was also possible that she came here specially to meet Master by chance. It was a pity that his Master didn’t come.

Jiang Yingxue kept looking at the four people from the Lingwu Sect on the opposite side. Jiang Yingxue was a little disappointed when she saw that the person she wanted to see was not there. She thought that since Yuantu had participated in the auction in Furong City, he would also participate this time. Unexpectedly Yuantu actually didn’t come to participate. This made Jiang Yingxue a little disappointed.

After the exercises, there were ancient magic artifacts. The most indispensable things for Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu were magical artifacts. Therefore, they were not interested in the few ancient magic artifacts on the auction stage. After waiting for a long time, the thing Liu Mufeng wanted had finally appeared – the Golden Spiritual Fruit.

“Dear Seniors and Fellow Daoists, this is a 100,000-year-old Golden Spiritual Fruit. It can assist Golden Spiritual Root cultivators at the sixth level and below to improve their small realm. The starting price is 300,000 spirit stones. Please bid.” Smiling, the auctioneer introduced the fruit in the brocade box with a smile.

“Three hundred and fifty thousand!”

“Three hundred and eighty thousand!”

“400,000…”

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, the cultivators in the audience began to bid one after another.

“800,000!” Looking at the fruit on the stage, Elder Qian directly bid for 800,000 spirit stones, causing everyone in the auction hall to have a brief moment of tranquility.

Hearing Elder Qian’s bid, Jiang Xu felt a pain in his heart. He knew that this price was not offered by Elder Qian, but by Mufeng. He and Mufeng were now pretending to be Senior Brother’s entourage, so it was inconvenient for them to open their mouths to bid. Therefore, Mufeng asked Elder Qian to come forward to help bid for him.

“820,000…”

Hearing this price, Liu Mufeng raised his eyebrows and looked at the next door. This price was set by Huangfu Yu of the Zunhuang Sect. It stood to reason that this Golden Spiritual Fruit was a sixth-level fruit, even if it was a hundred thousand year spiritual fruit, it would be too much to buy it with 820,000 spirit stones. Come to think of it, this Huangfu Yu was deliberately making things difficult!

“850,000…” Narrowing his eyes, Elder Qian bid again, as Mufeng had already sent it to him via voice transmission. This fruit was bound to be won by them.

“870,000.” Huangfu Yu smiled with the corners of his mouth bent, and glanced at Bai Yunfei and Elder Qian, clearly provoking them.

“880,000 spirit stones!” Picking up the tea bowl and taking a sip of spirit tea, Elder Qian said flatly.

Hearing this, Huangfu Yu’s face was a little distorted. “900,000!”

“910,000!” Unhurriedly adding another 10,000, Elder Qian still looked calm and composed. He knew what was going on in his heart. When he came, Mufeng told him that he was willing to take out one billion spirit stones to participate in this auction. Therefore, Elder Qian knew that Liu Mufeng was not short of spirit stones. This Golden Spiritual Fruit was something that would be of great benefit to Jiang Xu’s cultivation, and it was something Liu Mufeng must fight for.

“Nine……”

“Young Master, forget it, we still have other things to buy.” Looking at Huangfu Yu, the Elder under him hastily said.

“That’s right, Young Master, you are a fire spiritual root. This thing is of little use to you. We don’t need to spend so much spirit stones on it. It’s not worth it.” Nodding, another Elder said the same.

“Yes, yes, let’s give this broken fruit to Bai Yunfei first.” Nodding his head, Huangfu Yu didn’t bid for it anymore.

“Okay, 910,000. The guests in the third box bid 910,000 spirit stones. Is there a higher bidder?” Looking at the people present, the auctioneer asked. But after waiting for a long time, no one responded. In the end, Liu Mufeng bought the Golden Spiritual Fruit at a price of 910,000 spirit stones.

Looking at the Golden Spiritual Fruit that was sent to the private room and put away by Elder Qian, Liu Mufeng curled his lips. The first treasure was acquired, there were still three things missing. Judging from this situation, one billion spirit stones should be enough. However, it didn’t matter if it was not enough, it’s okay to spend more, but he must buy all four treasures, and he couldn’t lack any of them.

In the past three years, Liu Mufeng’s value has risen rapidly due to the sale of Spiritual Cultivation Pills. Now, spirit stones were just a number to him, and its significance was far less important than these genuine treasures. For Liu Mufeng, earning spirit stones was just to improve his strength, so spirit stones were not the most important thing, strength was the most important thing. After the Golden Spiritual Fruit, Liu Mufeng waited for another incense stick of time. The second thing he wanted appeared on the auction block. This was a Wood Spirit Stone. Because of its excellent appearance, the starting price was 3 million spirit stones. It was much more expensive than the Golden Spirit Fruit. However, for Liu Mufeng, who was rich and powerful, this price was nothing.

“Five million.” Elder Qian directly shouted five million when others called for four million.
