"Thirteen thousand low-grade spirit stones?"
“Who’s bidding?”
The monks below the stage turned around and looked behind them. Xue Kong was sitting there alone, his face calm. He smiled at the woman on the stage and said, "How can you make such a decision without waiting for others to continue bidding?"
"It's still unclear who will win this Foundation Establishment Pill."
The monks looked at Du Gong and Xue Kong, feeling puzzled and thinking something was fishy.
"What on earth is going on today? I heard the first two Foundation Establishment Pills were only bid for 5,700 and 6,300 low-grade spirit stones respectively, but someone actually bid 13,000 for this last one!"
"It's hard to guarantee that this is the last Foundation Establishment Pill. To maximize profits, Guanglan City might have concealed the news. There might be more Foundation Establishment Pills, but the news hasn't been leaked."
"Or waiting for Master Danhua to continue refining the Foundation Establishment Pill is far better than spending such a huge price. These two..."
Du Gong felt that the bidding voice was somewhat familiar. He turned around and saw Xue Kong sitting in the back. He was immediately surprised and asked, "It's you?"
Then, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly, "Do you know what the price will be if you bid recklessly in this auction house and don't come up with enough spirit stones to pay?"
Xue Kong stood up and bowed, "Thank you for your concern, Lord Du. If you don't continue to bid, this foundation-building pill will belong to me."
When the other cultivators heard that the two knew each other, they didn't care whether Xue Kong had spirit stones to pay for the Foundation Establishment Pill. No one who could come here, participate in the auction and bid was a fool.
The question asked by the Poison Lord was not a question, but a secret warning.
However, it was obvious that this warning had no effect on Xue Kong.
The Poison Lord's eyes immediately turned cold, and with a thought, he secretly activated the poison seal. The restraining seal that Nayuta had placed on Xue Kong's hand when he had reached the tenth level of Qi Condensation was activated for the second time.
Xue Kong felt a sharp pain coming from the poison mark on his hand. He raised his right hand and saw that the poison mark was emitting a dark purple evil light and a constant stinging sensation.
But Xue Kong looked calm. He clenched his fist suddenly, and the stinging sensation disappeared immediately. The restlessness of the poison seal was immediately suppressed.
"Fifteen thousand spirit stones!" Poison Lord said in a deep voice and made another bid.
It was another extremely high price. When this price appeared, people around immediately gasped, and then their eyes turned to Xue Kong, waiting for his bid.
Even the woman on the stage stopped talking and let the two men bid on their own.
Xue Kong's expression was calm, and he did not bid. Instead, after pondering for two breaths, he turned around and left, heading towards the exit of the auction hall.
It wasn't that he was unwilling to bid anymore, but the spirit stones in his storage bag were indeed not enough.
The Poison Lord came prepared.
Even if all the magic weapons were mortgaged, it might not be enough.
In this case, why bother working on it? It would be better to give the pill to Poison Lord and make plans later.
Du Gong, who had obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill, was not in a good mood. He looked coldly at Xue Kong's departing back. For some reason, he felt a sense of crisis in his heart, a feeling rarely experienced in his decades of practice.
He didn't understand even more why Xue Kong dared to openly resist him. Was it because he was able to suppress the poison seal that he became bolder?
"Humph! Doesn't he know that as long as his soul and blood are in Lian'er's body, he will be restrained by Lian'er!" Du Gong snorted in his heart, "Even without the soul and blood restraining him, I can kill this man at will!"
Afterwards, Du Gong no longer cared about Xue Kong's betrayal. He planned to get the Foundation Establishment Pill first, build his foundation as soon as possible, and then slowly find time to punish him.
A group of cultivators watched helplessly as the Foundation Establishment Pill fell into the hands of Poison Lord.
If this wasn't in Guanglan City, someone would probably be secretly following him, intending to kill him and steal his treasure.
Poison Lord did not stop and was anxious to absorb the foundation-building pill.
However, when he walked out of the auction house and was about to leave, Xue Kong's voice suddenly rang out behind him: "Mr. Du, please stay."
"Xue Kong, you are a smart man. What kind of experience gave you the confidence to betray me?" Du Gong's eyes were cold, as if he wanted to see through Xue Kong inside and out.
"Mr. Du, you are too serious. I just want to build my foundation, not to betray you." Xue Kong said calmly, "Now that the foundation-building pill is in your hands, I have given up."
"Building a foundation? You want to build a foundation? Your cultivation..." After they separated, Du Gong took a look at Xue Kong's cultivation for the first time, and he found that he could not see through Xue Kong's cultivation.
Like a layer of fog, it concealed Xue Kong's cultivation.
The concealing effect of the feather robe is fully unleashed, and only a cultivator at the foundation-building stage can see through it.
"Yesterday you asked me about my young master's location, I forgot to tell you..."
Xue Kong looked as if he had just remembered something, as if recalling, "When the young master was traveling with us, we were chased and the young master was seriously injured."
"I was worried about your punishment yesterday, so I concealed the truth. As for whether she is dead or alive now, I don't know."
"You!" Du Gong's eyes suddenly widened, and he rushed forward angrily and grabbed Xue Kong's collar.
Xue Kong took a few steps back. With the help of the evil ghost's power, he was faster than Du Gong and dodged his attack. He sneered, "You are Jiuxing Lian'er's father, but you actually handed her over to a disciple whose background you don't know."
"Do you know that Chi Yao is not an unknown person, but the son of the mayor of Qilin Ancient City. His real name is Ding Yinghuai, and his cultivation level is not the ninth level of Qi Condensation, but the tenth level!"
Xue Kong's voice rolled and rumbled in Du Gong's ears, and even the other cultivators around were attracted and looked towards the two of them.
