Master Lin never dreamed that he would become Mingluo's accomplice.
He was filled with deep regret.
"No, that's not what I meant."
Nie Yuchen smiled and waved the contract in his hand. "Master Lin, everyone should mind their own business. Your contract isn't finished yet, so you should prepare the money first. Do you have enough money with you?"
Master Lin: "..."
He was furious.
These capitalists are no good at all.
But his document is still in Mingluo's hands, which means he has a hostage with Mingluo, so now they dare not make any rash moves.
Master Gu sighed deeply. Nie Yuchen was still protecting Mingluo. In fact, even he was starting to side with Mingluo a little.
The disciples of Longhu Mountain are becoming less and less of a threat.
Minglu smiled and said, "Since that's the case, let's make a bet."
She strode onto the auction stage, stood before the microphone, and calmly said:
"As you all just witnessed, I made a bet with Zhao Qing of Longhu Mountain. If this talisman is found to be genuine, I will offer these ten immortal-grade talismans as compensation. If it is found to be genuine, Zhao Qing of Longhu Mountain must leave Longhu Mountain and immediately become my disciple. Now, I ask you all to bear witness for me. If anyone breaks their oath, they will be struck by lightning."
As she spoke, she took out a talisman, used her spiritual power to inscribe a thunder talisman, and pressed her handprint onto it.
She looked at Zhao Qing with a mocking gaze.
Zhao Qing sneered, "A mere trick!"
He was also an expert in talismans and had a good understanding of this kind of thunder talisman.
There are no genuine thunder talismans on the market. They are all used to scare away evil spirits and are just a way to fool people. They make little noise and have very limited use.
This is the first time I've seen someone use such a useless thunder talisman to swear an oath.
He followed Mingluo's example and pressed his handprint onto the thunder talisman.
At that moment, a beam of light shot out from the thunder talisman, and a loud rumble suddenly echoed in the sky, as if witnessing this moment.
The loud thunder startled everyone.
Zhao Qing was startled and looked outside. The weather was fine and sunny, so the thunder was just a coincidence.
He steadied himself and said sternly, "Alright, the bet is in effect, and the oath has been made. Now it's your turn to prove it. If you can't prove it, even if everyone protects you, I have ways to teach you a lesson."
Minglu looked at him with pity in her eyes, and smiled casually, "Since you're in such a hurry to become a disciple, I'll grant your wish."
She looked at Lin He and said, "I'd like to use that talisman."
“Okay!” Lin He immediately agreed.
Actually, this matter concerns the reputation of their auction house. If there is indeed a problem with the talisman, cooperating with Mingluo now can be considered an active attempt to remedy the situation. If there is no problem, Mingluo can apologize to them later, which will also prove that their talisman appraisal was correct.
In short, things have come to this point now, and there's no point in trying to cover it up anymore.
He personally handed the talisman to Mingluo.
Mingluo held it in her hand and addressed the crowd below, "The effectiveness of a talisman depends on three factors: the amount of spiritual energy it gathers, the skill of the talisman drawer, and the likelihood of the talisman being broken by negative energy. Master Zhao's talisman-drawing skills are evident to all. This talisman alone exudes a powerful spiritual energy. Therefore, the key to testing it is to examine the strength of its ability to resist negative energy. Master Gu, am I wrong?"
"No problem, that's very well said."
Master Gu nodded solemnly; this matter could not be faked.
Moreover, Mingluo's summary was concise and to the point, much better than their explanations.
Minglu continued, "To test the effectiveness of a talisman in preventing bad luck, you only need to see how long it takes for bad luck to erode the talisman. A normal house will contain a certain percentage of bad luck. Based on a 100-square-meter house, the amount is approximately this much."
With a slight twitch of her finger, Mingluo unleashed a powerful suction that drew in the surrounding negative energy, causing it to coil into a black sphere at her fingertip…
It looks inexplicably profound, eerie, and mysterious.
Everyone gasped in surprise, but for different reasons.
Those in the Xuanmen sect have all seen bad luck, and they are amazed that Mingluo can collect bad luck so easily, while they themselves have to work very hard to do so.
This is absolutely master-level skill.
Ordinary people are amazed: My God, bad luck can be like this, amazing!
Zhao Qing's face turned ashen, and he felt inexplicably uneasy.
However, he greatly admired his master. For a talisman to be corrupted by bad luck, it would have to wait for the spiritual energy to dissipate. His master's talismans were so powerful that saying they would last for ten years was already an underestimation.
He didn't believe that Mingluo could destroy a talisman with just a little bit of bad luck; that was wishful thinking.
Countless eyes looked at Mingluo with either admiration, surprise, or disdain.
Mingluo, however, seemed to be used to being watched by everyone from birth. Her face shone with radiance as she calmly said, "The speed at which bad luck erodes the talisman is like an ant trying to shake a tree. It's overestimating its own strength."
As she spoke, she touched the ball of bad luck towards the talisman.
Lin He frowned. The talisman was damaged, and he was afraid he wouldn't be able to explain it to Master Zhao.
Nie Yuchen glanced at him and said calmly, "I'll buy this talisman. Whatever the final price, I'll pay for it."
"Mr. Nie, you're too kind." Lin He looked at Nie Yuchen respectfully, his curiosity about Mingluo's identity growing.
A girl who is with a top billionaire and makes a bet with a top Taoist master—it's anything but ordinary.
He continued to watch the experiment intently.
Everyone stared wide-eyed as Mingluo fiddled with it.
The moment that gloomy aura touched the spiritual energy, it was completely dispelled.
