The Hehuan Sect's operation of auctioning the identity of the peak master made other people who came to participate in the auction sneer and express their dissatisfaction.
"10,000 high-grade spirit stones, just to buy a broken mountain with no spiritual energy?
It will take at least several decades to recoup the monthly salary from the Hehuan Sect. Do you really think we are fools?
Besides, how could an outsider really let you stay in jail for decades?"
"That's right, this is obviously a pretext to defraud spirit stones. Anyone who believes it is a fool."
"What's the point of going there? Normal people can't practice the Hehuan Sect's skills."
…
Obviously, everyone saw through the intention at a glance...
only…
When the bidding started, the people who had just been mocking and discussing in a sarcastic tone, actually started to quote prices honestly with their bodies.
"Thirteen thousand!"
"Fourteen thousand!"
"Hey, didn't you say only fools would buy it? Why are you quoting your own price?"
"Ah, what do you want me to do? I'm just a fool!
Alas, I am stupid and rich, I just want to go inside and see the scenery."
"Coincidentally, I am too."
"Tsk, a bunch of poor bastards, 20,000!"
"Twenty-one thousand."
Although the spiritual energy was depleted, there were always places that were still rich, and there were always people willing to pay for the Hehuan Sect.
The reason is simple: the He Huan Sect is recognized on the continent as the pinnacle of human beauty, both men and women are at the top of the range. Furthermore, the higher the level of cultivation, the higher the charm...
It is rumored that the sect leader Su Xue has a story about a smile that can captivate the whole city.
…
At this moment, in the VIP room, Xiaoqing looked at the people below who were constantly bidding, and her brain went into a state of panic.
"Are these people crazy?"
She couldn't understand these people's irrational behavior. With the spiritual energy about to be exhausted, shouldn't she be trying to hoard spirit stones like them?
Why do these people spend so freely?
Looking at Xiaoqing's shocked expression, Su Xue laughed:
“People cannot always be rational; sometimes they act emotionally.
Even a strategist who plans every step carefully can overturn his own chess game when he is dominated by emotions.
It’s just a matter of seeing if you can evoke that emotion.”
Xiaoqing, who was listening at the side, was confused, but in order not to appear stupid, she pretended to be thoughtful.
The price below changed rapidly, reaching 33,000 spirit stones in a short while. Then, the bidding frequency slowed down a lot.
Obviously, although emotions dominate behavior, they do not make people lose their rationality.
"It's pretty much what I expected."
Just as he finished speaking, he heard a lazy yet energetic voice coming from the next room.
"40,000." After the bid was made, no one continued to bid.
This price is just above the psychological price of most people.
Although Lu Yun can pinch out a handful of Heavenly Spirit Crystals at any time, it doesn't mean that she will become a big victim just because she has a lot of money.
…
"I give this voice full marks."
Su Xue carefully recalled the alluring voice just now. The increase in charm naturally affected more than just appearance.
Before this, it was hard for her to imagine how words like laziness, vitality, purity and charm could be combined together.
"With such a nice voice, he must be good looking too.
I didn't expect that just doing some side hustle would bring me such a pleasant surprise. I just don't know what it looks like."
Su Xue began to develop a strong interest in the future elder who had taken the token.
If she is good-looking... she doesn't mind letting her stay in Hehuan Sect for a few more years.
…
…
A moment later, in VIP Room No. 1...
Lu Yun exchanged for two Heavenly Spirit Crystals and completed the delivery.
Then he took the Peak Master's Order in his hand and played with it.
The material is neither gold nor wood, and it feels as smooth as jade. It is engraved with the word "Haitang" and has complex array patterns.
"Speaking of which, your sect leader is quite interesting. He actually used his status as a peak master to go to the auction. Aren't you afraid of a mole sneaking in?"
Lu Yun was puzzled by this. In her opinion, this behavior was unwise. If there really was someone with bad intentions, they could easily infiltrate.
As for whether the other party would deny it, it was not within her consideration.
According to Yuncai'er's explanation, only the Sect Master had the right to sell the Peak Master position. Anything that could be put up for auction had to be confirmed by multiple parties.
Moreover, although the Lily Auction House was located in the territory of the Hehuan Sect, it was jointly established by the Hehuan Sect and two other major sects. Even as the leader of the Hehuan Sect, he was not completely in control here.
"Although the sect leader has a lustful nature, he is also quite shrewd and calculating. Many of his actions, which are initially incomprehensible, always play a huge role later on."
Yuncai'er managed to recover from the embarrassment and explained.
"I see..."
Lu Yun touched his chin, then suddenly remembered something and said, "Come to think of it, you are also from Haitang Peak, right?"
"Well, yes."
The three nodded.
Although Yuncai'er was no longer the peak master, as the saying goes, a slave follows his master. Her two disciples were still at Haitang Peak, so she was still a member of Haitang Peak.
"I suppose you don't want to be homeless next, do you?"
“?!!”×3
"What I mean is, I just want this title. I don't have time to manage Haitang Peak normally. But if I do this, Haitang Peak will soon fall into ruin.
Therefore, Elder Yun will still be in charge from now on."
"Phew! You scared me." The three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
