Through the mask, a pair of crimson eyes could be seen, their gaze unexpectedly icy.
“Well, he’s clearly a tough character; his price increase is so aggressive, it’s better not to provoke him.”
Immediately, many people stopped raising their bids.
However, for some medium-sized families who were determined to get the pill recipe, they wouldn’t give up so easily and continued to bid.
“Fifty-one spirit…”
“Sixty spirit crystals!”
Before the other party could finish speaking, Lu Yun’s deep voice, enhanced by the aggressive aura, rang out again.
Lu Yun’s rough bidding price immediately extinguished the other party’s thoughts of further competition.
After all, from the current situation, the later the auction went, the lower the price of the pill recipes would be.
Perhaps the price of the next pill recipe would be even lower?
Just like that, Lu Yun won the fifth pill recipe with a bid of sixty spirit crystals.
“Were you a bit too hasty just now? If we had waited a little longer, the price might have gone even lower.” Duan Qing whispered quietly.
“No, I think sixty spirit crystals is probably the lowest it will go.” Lu Yun said indifferently.
As his words fell, the sixth pill recipe had already started its auction.
Apparently, it didn’t take long for someone to raise the price to fifty spirit crystals, and the number of people in the auction raising their bids gradually decreased.
At this moment, one of the middle-aged martial artists directly raised the price to sixty spirit crystals.
This middle-aged martial artist was the patriarch of the Zhang Clan of Blue Sun, his face looking somewhat pained at the moment.
Sixty spirit crystals could definitely hurt the family for several hundred days, but if they could get a pill recipe, it would be worth it.
“There shouldn’t be anyone else raising their bid now!” The patriarch of the Zhang Clan thought.
“Sixty-one spirit crystals.” The martial artist who raised the price was the Huang Family’s goateed elder, and after raising his bid, he looked provocatively at the Zhang Clan patriarch.
“Hmph, well played!” The Zhang Clan patriarch snorted coldly, looking somewhat feeble.
In the end, the sixth pill recipe was successfully auctioned by the Huang Family for sixty-one spirit crystals.
“There are only four pill recipes left, everyone please seize the last opportunity, after this, there will be no more chances!” Liu Yan, the mature and charming woman, smiled, immediately animating the somewhat dull atmosphere.
“What? There are only four pill recipes left? I have to hurry up!”
“The seventh pill recipe, auction starts.” As Liu Yan’s delicate voice sounded, immediately someone started bidding.
In the end, the seventh pill recipe was sold for sixty-three spirit crystals, and the Zhang Clan patriarch’s face turned very dark. If he had persevered earlier, he could have gotten a pill recipe for sixty-two spirit crystals.
Now it cost him one more, and he felt quite heartbroken.
However, when the eighth pill recipe auction was completed, his face bloomed with smiles again.
“The price of the eighth pill recipe unexpectedly rose to sixty-five spirit crystals. It’s terrifying, and I’m glad I had the foresight.”
After fifteen minutes…
“Sixty-nine spirit crystals?! I am a fucking genius.”
Another fifteen minutes later…
“The best decision I’ve made in my life was to buy a pill recipe for sixty-three spirit crystals!” The Zhang Clan patriarch mumbled to himself, his eyes full of shock.
“Hehe, the ten pill recipes have been auctioned off. Distinguished guests who have obtained the pill recipes, please head backstage to pay the spirit crystals and claim your auction item. Next, we will start the auction for the third item.”
“Why not keep watching? You might come across something you like.” After leaving quietly through the back door of the Purple Gold Auction House, Duan Qing murmured.
After glancing back and finding that no one was following, Lu Yun replied, “Even if I could find something 1 liked, I couldn’t afford it. Rather than drooling over it, it’s better to leave early.”
“It’s nice to just window-shop. I heard that there are several items in this auction that are quite impressive. One of them is the Earth Spirit Fruit, which can enhance any martial artist with Level 5 Innate Talent or below.
Another is the Heavenly Spirit Pill, which can help Transforming Origin Realm martial artists increase their breakthrough success rate by 30%.
The final item is…”
“None of this has anything to do with us. At least for now, neither you nor I can afford any of it.” Lu Yun ruthlessly interrupted the incessant chatter of Duan Qing, carefully observing the surroundings at the same time.
Although they had left through the back door, it didn’t mean that no one would ambush them halfway.
“You’re just too paranoid, always being so secretive. There aren’t that many killings and robberies, and even if there were, they wouldn’t happen in this county capital.” Duan Qing, who was somewhat careless, simply couldn’t understand the cautious and sneaky Lu Yun.
“Caution is always the best policy.” After finding out that there were indeed no abnormalities in the surroundings, Lu Yun and Duan Qing entered a narrow alley. It wasn’t until they had removed their masks and black clothes that they returned to the brightly lit streets.
In the narrow alley, two black-clothed men emerged from a gloomy and pitch-black corner.
One had gray hair and light blue eyes; in the pitch-black night, he looked like a wolf. He had a scar on his face like a caterpillar, making his face appear ghastly >.
The other had a hooked nose, bushy eyebrows, and streaks of muscles on his face. His eyes were filled with murderous intent, and at a glance, one could tell that he had blood on his hands.
“Eldest brother, why did you let these two fat sheep go? We finally managed to track them here.” Looking at the departing figures of the two, the hooked-nose man broke the silence and asked.
“Didn’t you see the clothes they were wearing? Those are Star Robes from the Flying Spirit Martial Academy, and only the Star Palace disciples are qualified to wear them.” The gray-haired man in black whispered.
“So what if they’re from the Flying Spirit Martial Academy? No one would know anyway.” The hooked-nose man was still somewhat unwilling to give in.
Hearing this, the gray-haired man’s face darkened slightly, warning, “You better stop having such crooked thoughts. In the Spirit Martial Prefecture, you can kill anyone, but you can’t kill Flying Spirit Martial Academy disciples, especially those of the Star Palace. Otherwise, even with ten lives, you and I wouldn’t be able to save ourselves.”
Seeing his elder brother become so solemn and fearful when mentioning the Flying Spirit Martial Academy, the hooked-nose man had to let go of his murderous intent.
The gray-haired man in black was still not at ease, and reminded him again, “With our Transforming Origin Realm cultivation, as long as we stay alert in the Spirit Martial Prefecture, there shouldn’t be any danger. But if we encounter a tough adversary, being in the Transforming Origin Realm would make us nothing more than ants!”
“I know, elder brother. From now on, I’ll do my best to avoid Flying Spirit Martial Academy disciples. But what should we do next? We can’t just return empty-handed!” The hooked-nose man said.
“Empty-handed? How could that be possible!” The look of panic and anxiety on the gray-haired man’s face immediately disappeared, replaced by a sinister and venomous expression..
