Zhao Nanxiao immediately raised the price by a thousand high-grade spirit stones, which dealt a heavy blow to those who already longed for the Xuanwu Divine Beast.
While everyone remained silent, three figures suddenly rushed toward the auction stage.
They moved too fast; by the time someone noticed that someone was trying to go on stage to snatch the divine beast, the three figures were already lying on the ground.
The monks all had good eyesight.
Even though Sheng Ning was far from the stands, she still clearly saw that the three people on the stage had their heads chopped off.
The three heads that rolled down next to the corpse all had their eyes wide open, looking as if they had died with their eyes open in disbelief.
"He's a sword cultivator at the fifth level of the Integration Realm!"
Someone exclaimed in surprise, and everyone snapped back to reality, their eyes filled with astonishment as they looked at the auctioneer on the stage.
They knew that there were many experts in the Northern Region, but they did not expect that the auctioneers who came to preside over the auction were all sword cultivators at the fifth level of the Integration Realm.
If it weren't for someone trying to forcibly seize the divine beast, they wouldn't even know the auctioneer's cultivation level.
On the continent, those at the Golden Core stage are already extraordinary figures. Who wouldn't lower their head and dare not look up to meet their eyes when they see a Golden Core cultivator?
Facing the cultivators who wanted to go on stage to snatch the divine beast, the auctioneer appeared relaxed, saying, "I apologize for startling you all. Let's continue."
Soon someone went on stage to dispose of the body, and the auction continued.
"Fifty-one thousand high-grade spirit stones, is there anyone offering a higher price?"
Sheng Ning turned her gaze away from the auctioneer.
He glanced down at Zhao Nanxiao, who was sitting not far away, and said, "Sixty thousand."
"Sixty-one thousand."
"Seventy thousand."
"Seventy thousand."
"Eighty thousand."
......
The bidding by Sheng Ning and Zhao Nanxiao caused cold sweat to trickle down everyone's foreheads.
Sitting behind Sheng Ning, Lin Qinghuan couldn't help but reach out and poke Yu Ye's shoulder, "Fellow Daoist Yu, is it really alright for Fellow Daoist Sheng to spend money like this?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Ye raised his hand and touched his chin. "Something must have happened."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qinghuan immediately became anxious, "If there's something wrong, why don't you tell Fellow Daoist Sheng to stop?"
"Seven Star Island has existed for far longer than you imagine. Seven Star Island is incredibly wealthy. If Fellow Daoist Sheng continues to bid like this, won't it bankrupt the Invincible Sect?"
She was wondering if they weren't afraid that if Sheng Ning couldn't come up with the money, the Qi family of the Northern Region would send someone to take away the Invincible Sect's land deed?
Then, remembering that he was on Sheng Ning's side, he silently swallowed back the last sentence.
Yu Ye glanced at her sideways and said, "Why would you go bankrupt? This little bit of money isn't enough to bankrupt the Invincible Sect."
"What I meant by 'something to do' was that once Junior Sister spends all this money, she'll feel a little lighter, and maybe she'll even grow a little taller."
Eighty thousand high-grade spirit stones.
Small amount?
Lin Qinghuan and the others vomited blood.
Someone tugged at Lin Qinghuan's sleeve, and she turned around to see her junior sister looking at her with a mournful face.
"Senior Sister, if all else fails, let's go and seek refuge with the Invincible Sect."
They couldn't bear to live a single day in the Flying Flower Sect when they couldn't get spiritual fruits or use spiritual stones every few days.
Lin Qinghuan's eye twitched violently upon hearing this.
She raised her hand and slapped each of her four junior sisters on the head. "You're willing to betray the sect for a little money? Are your brains filled with mush, huh?"
"Besides, if you continue like this, not only will Master and Uncle be heartbroken, but I... will also be easily swayed."
The bidding war between Sheng Ning and Zhao Nanxiao has reached a fever pitch.
She was focused solely on capturing Xuanwu and didn't hear what Lin Qinghuan and the others were saying in her ear.
She raised the sign again, giving Zhao Nanxiao a cold look. "110,000."
What do 110,000 high-grade spirit stones represent?
One high-grade spirit stone is equal to one hundred mid-grade spirit stones.
One mid-grade spirit stone is equal to one hundred low-grade spirit stones.
An ordinary family might not even need a single high-grade spirit stone in a year.
Sheng Ning is now asking for 110,000.
The audience below the stage became restless again.
"Did the Invincible Sect make a fortune in the secret realm? If we can't marry into their family, do you think they'll buy our sect?"
“Buy my sect! My sect has at least five Foundation Establishment cultivators. I'll only ask for 10,000 high-grade spirit stones!”
"Everyone, don't be so ridiculous. The Invincible Sect has so many Golden Core cultivators, even the weakest one, Sheng Ning, is at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment. Why would anyone buy a sect that only has five Foundation Establishment cultivators? They don't look like suckers."
......
Unlike the restless commotion below the stage.
The auctioneer on stage, however, remained calm.
His gaze fell on Zhao Nanxiao, and seeing the latter slightly furrow his brows, he immediately grasped the auction hammer beside him.
"110,000 per time."
"110,000 twice."
"113,000..."
"110,100"
Zhao Nanxiao's renewed bid completely unsettled Bai Ze, who was perched on Sheng Ning's shoulder.
Bai Ze, transformed into a kitten, bristled with soft fur all over his body.
He opened his mouth, revealing a set of fangs, and gritted his teeth as he spoke into Sheng Ning's ear, "Get out of the way, I'm going to bite him to death!"
Sheng Ning nodded. "Go ahead."
Bai Ze, "...Aren't you going to stop me?"
Sheng Ning looked at him, a slight smile playing on her lips, "If you just go up and bite Zhao Nanxiao to death, I won't have to continue bidding against him, and I can successfully rescue the Xuanwu Divine Beast."
"But I don't have divine power!"
The kitten's whiskers twitched, and its pupils dilated into circles.
Sheng Ning reached out and tugged at his beard, laughing, "Knowing you're incompetent, why insist on sticking your neck out? Lord Bai Ze is still a child after all."
Before Bai Ze could speak again, she raised the sign in her hand once more, "Fifty thousand."
This time, the bidding stopped everyone from gasping in surprise.
They have become completely numb.
Who would have thought that a previously unknown small sect would not only shine brightly in this year's sect competition?
Now, they can actually afford to spend 150,000 high-grade spirit stones just to buy a divine beast that has lost its divine power.
Even Zhao Nanxiao didn't raise his placard this time.
The other party turned his head to look at Sheng Ning, who then clasped his hands in a gesture of respect to him.
"150,003 times!"
"Congratulations to that young friend for purchasing the item. Someone will deliver the item you won to your room shortly."
The tense and exciting auction came to a complete end after the gavel fell.
Sheng Ning sat down and reached out to squeeze Bai Ze's chubby paw. "Lord Bai Ze, how is it?"
Bai Ze leaned against her chest. If he weren't in his kitten form, Sheng Ning would have definitely seen his flushed cheeks.
"Fellow Daoist Sheng, remember to be careful when you go back later."
It was the cultivator who had been sitting in front of Sheng Ning and hadn't raised his paddle to bid since the auction started.
Su Daiyuan nodded. "Yes, Junior Sister was too prominent tonight, and I'm afraid she's been targeted by quite a few people."
As his words fell, the six siblings of the Invincible Grandmaster looked around the still-open hall and saw that many people were staring at them.
