17 Yu Jun

They took their seats in Room One, where attendants brought some spiritual fruits. As people gradually entered the first floor, the auction finally began. An auctioneer stepped onto the stage with a warm smile. He raised his right hand, and the phantom of the first item appeared in the air beside him. "One Thunder Fruit, starting price 500 low-grade Spirit Stones." The cries of bidders continued until a bell rang, and the auctioneer announced, "VIP Number Two bids 1,000 low-grade Spirit Stones. Any higher bids?" Thunder Fruits weren't particularly unusual. Earlier auctions had been filled with unremarkable trifles. Buyers with specific needs generally wouldn't waste their time on such items. The highest price paid for a Thunder Fruit was only 800 low-grade Spirit Stones. Besides, the prince of Shangyu Kingdom wouldn't need a single Thunder Fruit. He was deliberately causing trouble. After the auctioneer finished speaking, there was a brief silence in the room. Those who had been interested in buying exchanged frustrated glances and stopped bidding. In the end, the Thunder Fruit naturally went to Yu Zizhi. Over the next few times, until Jiang Chen's elixir was sold, Yu Zizhi sold it at a high price. For a moment, the noisy complaints below could not be suppressed. In Room 2, Yu Zizhi huddled in a corner of a bench, chewing on the fruits that had been delivered. His clothes were not carefully arranged, revealing his chest. He sneered, "A bunch of poor bastards who can't afford to buy things and blame others for the high prices." From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Yu Jun, who was leaning back with his arms resting on the armrest, his hands supporting his forehead. Yu Zizhi fiddled with the fruit in his mouth, chewing the juice and swallowing it. Feigning indifference, he said, "She's just an ordinary cultivator from the Wentian Sect, yet she's occupying Room One. Where does that leave my elder sister?" Yu Jun glanced at the dashing, sharp calligraphy on the fan and casually said, "If she kills you, I won't stop her." "Elder sister!" Yu Zizhi lowered his legs from the table and sat up straight. "Is Feng Jingluo that strong?" He paid little attention to the sect's disciples. They were just ordinary people, fortunately able to cultivate, unlike these princes and heirs of noble status. Yu Jun folded his fan and pointed at Yu Zizhi. "I've always told you to stay abreast of current events, but you don't listen. If you cause trouble one day, don't come crying for help." She was the young prince of Shangyu Kingdom, her mother's only daughter and the only future monarch. From a young age, she was taught a different code of ethics than the other princes. Many of the princes were beautiful but brainless fools, and Yu Zizhi was the worst. However, her good looks made her an excellent choice for a marriage alliance. "Feng Jingluo, among his peers, is unrivaled in swordsmanship." "Even my eldest sister can't compare?" He pinched the armrest and leaned forward, feeling that Yu Jun was deliberately trying to scare...

They sat in Room No. 1, and the servants brought them some spiritual fruits. As more and more people came in from the first floor, it was finally time for the auction to begin.

An auctioneer walked onto the stage with a warm smile, raised his right hand, and the shadow of the first auction item appeared in the void beside him.

"One Thunder Fruit, starting price is 500 low-grade spirit stones."

The cries of auctioneers continued until a bell rang, and the auctioneer said loudly, "VIP number two bids one thousand low-grade spirit stones. Is there a higher price?"

Thunder fruits are not something surprising. The items auctioned in the early days were all ordinary little gadgets.

Generally, buyers who have specific needs will not waste time on these things.

The highest price of a thunder fruit is only eight hundred low-grade spirit stones. What's more, the prince of Shangyu Kingdom has no use for a mere thunder fruit. He is deliberately making trouble.

After the auctioneer finished speaking, there was a brief silence in the room. Those who had been interested in buying looked at each other frustratedly and stopped bidding.

In the end, the thunder fruit naturally belonged to Yu Zizhi.

In the next few times, until Jiang Chen's pills were sold, they were all sold by Yu Zizihua at a high price.

For a moment, the noisy complaints from below were hard to suppress.

In room number two, Yu Zizi huddled in a corner of a bench, chewing on the fruits that were brought to him. His clothes were not carefully arranged, revealing his chest slightly.

He scoffed, "A bunch of poor bastards who can't afford things and yet blame others for the high prices."

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Yu Jun leaning back with his arms resting on the armrest and the back of his hands supporting his forehead. Yu Zizi fiddled with the fruit in his mouth, chewing the juice and swallowing it.

He pretended to be indifferent and said, "He is just an ordinary cultivator from the Wentian Sect. How could he occupy the number one room in the Tianzi Sect? Where does that put my elder sister?"

Yu Jun looked at the cool and sharp handwriting on the fan and said casually, "If she kills you, I won't stop her."

"Eldest sister!" Yu Zizhi put down his legs from the table and sat up straight. "Is Feng Jingluo really that strong?"

He didn't pay much attention to the disciples of the sect. They were just a group of ordinary people who were lucky enough to practice. They were not as noble as these princes and heirs.

Yu Jun folded his fan and pointed at Yu Zizhi, "I always tell you to understand current affairs, but you don't listen. If you cause trouble one day, don't come crying for protection."

She is the young prince of Shangyu State. She is her mother's only daughter and the only future prince. The etiquette she learned since childhood is different from that of other princes.

Most of the princes are handsome but brainless fools, and Yu Zizi is the worst among them.

But she has a good appearance, which makes her an ideal choice for marriage.

"Feng Jingluo, among his peers, is unrivaled in swordsmanship."

"Even my eldest sister can't compare to me?" He pinched the armrest and leaned forward. He always felt that Yu Jun was deliberately scaring him, just to warn him to control his temper.

"My sword is different from hers." Yu Jun stood up and walked to the wall, his hands behind his back. Next door was Room 1. "Her sword is for killing, but mine is a gentleman's sword, for the people of the world, for the country, and for protecting the nation."

Her back stood in front of the wall, as if there were towering mountains in front of her, and her territory was everywhere she looked.

Yu Zizi couldn't see the admiration in her eyes, that was the mutual appreciation that only women could have.

"Not many people can enter the secret realm of the seventy-seven Lianjue Mountains, and even fewer can get anything after coming out." The voice was as light as a sigh.

As a young prince, the fate of the country is already implicated on her shoulders, and she is destined not to take reckless risks.

So when she heard about Feng Jingluo's deeds, she was sure that she would like her, and it turned out to be true when she saw her today.

The fan tapped lightly against his palm, and the corners of Yu Jun's mouth curled up. An excellent monarch must be equipped with an equally excellent prime minister.

In room number one, Jiang Chen held her chin up with satisfaction. Although this prince was stupid and brainless, fortunately he was a wealthy man. He bought her pills at a high price, which gave her a better chance of buying the elixir.

Xu Mobai couldn't bear to see her smug look, so he deliberately said, "With this prince here, I'm afraid you won't be able to buy the elixir."

He raised his chin and smiled, asking for a beating. "If I hear the ringtone from Room 1, I'll buy it at a high price even if I don't need it."

The curve of Jiang Chen's mouth disappeared. She sat up straight, tapped her fingers on the table, and narrowed her eyes in displeasure. "He's just a prince. Alchemists are not easy to bully."

If she gets angry, she will be in trouble. She has also been to the secret realm of Lianjue Mountain. What kind of scene has she not seen?

Even if the elixir was stolen, she could get it back later. It all depends on one's ability. Her elixir is not vegetarian either.

Jiang Chen looked at Xu Mobai with a smile, "You are here to watch a good show. Who will be embarrassed tomorrow when the news of the disciples of the Shangxuan Sect molesting the prince of the Shangyu Kingdom spreads everywhere?"

Xu Mobai's expression changed slightly, and he clenched his fists. "I remember you have a pill that can make people lose their memory?"

Jiang Chen fell back and crossed his legs leisurely. "You don't know the pain until you stab yourself. If the elixir doesn't reach me, then you'll become famous!"

In terms of personality, Xu Mobai actually doesn't care about his reputation. Among these people who hang out together, who cares about reputation?

But that doesn't mean he can accept himself spreading such unbearable rumors.

Glancing at Feng Jingluo, she always looked as if she was staying out of things. Even though she often wore eye-catching black clothes, few people dared to look at her directly.

"Shangyu is a big country. Even though he's just a prince, he must be worth a lot of money. Why don't we..." He raised his hand and grasped the air, "Let's kidnap him!"

Feng Jingluo glanced at him and said, "With a character like that, he will definitely come and cause trouble for you."

"The forbidden area is about to open. It is not wise to provoke the Shangyu Kingdom." Bai Yuge rarely spoke more. If these people wanted to do bad things, they could just do it themselves. Why bother to instigate Feng Jingluo?

"You want to waste time because of him?"

Xu Mobai leaned back with his arms outstretched, and said in a drawn-out tone, "Fine, in your eyes, my reputation is not as important as Feng Jingluo."

He pretended to be heartbroken, "It's a good thing that you and I still have some affection for each other."

Yun Ruchen's eyes moved among them, and the way they were talking to each other showed that they must have been familiar with each other for a long time.

Items were sold one after another, and finally, the elixir Jiang Chen had been so anxious about arrived. A shadowy herb, emerald green with a few scattered yellow flowers, floated in the air.

The auctioneer said loudly, "Although this spiritual medicine is still young, it has the power to regenerate severed limbs. The starting price is five thousand high-grade spiritual stones."

After saying that, Jiang Chen stood up and pressed the desk bell impatiently, "Eight thousand high-grade spirit stones."

She intentionally raised the price a bit at once so that people who didn't really need to buy it wouldn't follow suit and pay more.

"Ten thousand!" After her, a lazy voice came from the next room.

Jiang Chen frowned, her eyes showing coldness. She slowly stroked the storage ring, "Fifteen thousand."

The elixir she had recently been researching urgently needed this spiritual herb. Because she liked to research some strange and bizarre elixirs, the alchemist who should have been wealthy was almost becoming a pauper with her.

"Twenty thousand!"

Jiang Chen looked at the next door, and Xu Mobai raised his hand, "Calm down, you can't go looking for trouble with him now."

A light laugh attracted the attention of several people, and Feng Jingluo's plain yet unique voice rang out, "Fifty thousand."

No matter how the others looked, Yu Zizi next door gritted his teeth. He had heard that someone offered a reward of 100,000 high-grade spirit stones just to vent his anger on a man.

Although one hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones were not a lot for the children of a great nation, only his eldest sister could freely control so many spirit stones.

His annual salary was only this much, and he liked to spend lavishly. Fortunately, his father was from a merchant family and could support his habit of spending money like water.

It's just a spiritual medicine, not worth 50,000 high-grade spirit stones.

He wanted to continue raising the price, but after taking a few breaths, he slapped the armrest in annoyance and turned his face away.

The auctioneer shouted several times to confirm that the elixir belonged to Room No. 1.

Jiang Chen sat down slowly, blushing and slightly embarrassed, "I will replenish you with pills later."

"Nothing." Feng Jingluo said. She also disliked the prince.

They were not interested in the next few auction items. Jiang Chen only needed elixirs, and for someone like Bai Yuge who only believed in his sword, he would not be interested unless it was a rare mineral that could increase the grade.

Xu Mobai wanted a protective magic treasure to use in the forbidden area.

The auction items were passed one by one, and the finale of the earth-level spiritual treasure finally appeared.

It was an ivory-white jade pendant with a rich color and a lotus flower carved into it.

As soon as the auctioneer announced the starting price of 20,000 high-grade spirit stones, bidding began to rise one after another.

"Fifty thousand high-grade spirit stones!" Yu Zizi said, intending to avenge what had happened just now. However, it was only fifty thousand spirit stones, which he could not afford.

Xu Mobai touched the tip of his nose. He really wanted this jade pendant, but given the current situation, he was afraid that it would cost one hundred thousand.

Before leaving the sect, he had just exchanged for a spiritual treasure, and it was a bit difficult to buy this jade pendant, so he had to give up.

Yun Ruchen had never been to an auction before, so he just took it as an experience and glanced at the jade pendant without paying much attention to it.

Feng Jingluo, standing beside him, paid close attention to his movements. His posture wasn't as straight as Bai Yuge's, revealing a certain casualness. His arms rested on his legs, his drooping wrist bones supporting the skin, and veins snaked across the back of his hands.

Feng Jingluo realized that he was distracted and raised his eyes to Yun Ruchen's face. He also looked at him and blinked in confusion.

"Like?" she asked.

Yun Ruchen was puzzled, "What?"

Feng Jingluo raised his palm and flicked his fingers. The air current struck the desk bell, "Eighty thousand."

She said it lightly, as if it were just a stone that could be found anywhere on the roadside.

In Room 2, Yu Zizhi stood up angrily, "Eldest sister, she was clearly deliberately provoking me. I wanted to give this jade pendant to you, but she insisted on making trouble."

"Don't tell me you think that Shangyu State can be bullied?"

Yu Jun raised his hand, picked up a grape and put it in his mouth. "If you want to cause trouble for her, just do it. Don't use the Shangyu Kingdom as an excuse."

His teeth crushed the grapes, and Yu Zizi's body trembled, as if he was the one being crushed.

He sat down, feeling dissatisfied. Not only did these people occupy Room No. 1, but the two men also dared to pull his clothes and offend him, and now they wanted to take away the things he had set his eyes on.

act recklessly!

"One hundred thousand!" Yu Zizi frowned and sneered. He could go to Juyuan Bank to withdraw money, but how many hundred thousand spirit stones could that woman have?
