"Here, do you want some peach shortbread? They're delicious!"
Yun Qianshan touched Mu Yao's hair and smiled kindly: "Be good, it's okay, go ahead and eat."
Sheng He took a bite of the peach shortbread. It was sweet, crispy and delicious.
"Junior Sister Zhao, this Taixu soil is very important to me, I must get it, why don't you give it to me?"
Sheng He smiled brightly. Zhao Yanran, who was still hesitating, gritted her teeth and immediately shouted, "Four thousand one!"
"Five thousand!"
The young cultivator stared at Sheng He with eyes wide open in shock. He couldn't help but feel lucky that he didn't raise the price as well. Otherwise, if he got carried away like that female cultivator, he might lose all his fortune and still not be able to leave the auction.
Zhao Yanran turned around and stared at Sheng He with bloodshot eyes. Her master had only given her two thousand mid-grade spirit stones in total, and with her own, there were only more than three thousand five hundred spirit stones in total.
Even if Senior Brother Chu Heng lent her all the spirit stones, it might not be enough for five thousand.
Seeing that Zhao Yanran didn't seem to want to raise the price anymore, Sheng He lowered his head and sighed while pretending to search in the storage ring.
"Oh my, how come there are only this many in total? What if Junior Sister Zhao adds me to the list? What shall I do?"
Zhao Yanran clenched her fists and asked Chu Heng as if she had made up her mind: "Big Brother, how many spirit stones do you have?"
"There are more than 1,400 left."
Chu Heng untied the storage bag tied to his belt and handed it to Zhao Yanran.
In fact, according to the savings that Chu Heng had accumulated over the years, even if he alone took out 5,000 mid-grade spirit stones, it would be enough. However, in the past two years, Zhao Yanran wanted robes and magic weapons at one time, and talismans and elixirs at another time, so there was no cheap one.
As time went by, all the spirit stones that Chu Heng had saved to refine his natal sword were spent, and now, only this many are left.
Zhao Yanran took the storage bag and counted them carefully. There were a total of fourteen top-grade spirit stones and seventy-eight mid-grade spirit stones. One top-grade spirit stone could be exchanged for one hundred mid-grade spirit stones.
The total of Chu Heng's spirit stones plus his own was five thousand and two medium-grade spirit stones.
It was just enough.
Even God is helping her.
Zhao Yanran smiled proudly at Sheng He. Just when she was about to raise the price, the system, which had been silent all this time, suddenly reminded her: "Host, don't forget that we are here to bid for the Lihuo Pearl. Once you choose to bid for the Taixu Soil, there will not be enough spirit stones to buy the Lihuo Pearl."
"Isn't it just a Lihuo Pearl? I can find it later. I must defeat Sheng He today!"
Zhao Yanran ignored the system's obstruction and shouted loudly:
"Five thousand and one!"
The system wanted to say something more, but all its words turned into a sigh.
What it didn't say was that Zhao Yanran's current cultivation level was in the late stage of Qi training. If she had the help of the Fire Bead, she would be able to build her foundation with ease.
By then, Zhao Yanran will be the fastest foundation-building disciple in the history of Qingyun Sect, and will be able to gain extremely high prestige and favorability.
Those points are far more than the 500 points obtained from suppressing Sheng He once.
But seeing that Zhao Yanran was only interested in defeating Sheng He, she probably wouldn't listen to what he said.
The system simply shut up.
I clearly told Zhao Yanran many times before coming here to take a picture of the Lihuo Pearl, but she seemed to lose her mind as soon as she saw Sheng He.
It's unlucky for it to encounter such a host.
Hearing that Zhao Yanran was still raising the price, Sheng He shook his head regretfully and almost wanted to give up.
At this moment, her eyes suddenly lit up and she took out two more spirit stones from her sleeve.
"Hey, these are the two spirit stones that Master gave me this morning!"
"I'm sorry, Junior Sister Zhao, I'll offer you 5,002 mid-grade spirit stones."
Zhao Yanran clenched her fists. She didn't believe that Sheng He would be so lucky as to produce two more spirit stones from his body.
Zhao Yanran did not hesitate at all: "Five thousand and three!"
As soon as she said this, Zhao Yanran's whole body froze. She rummaged through her storage bag again as if she remembered something.
But no matter how she counted, there were only 5,002 spirit stones in the storage bag.
Zhao Yanran looked at the ferocious-looking wolf demon on the stage and cold sweat broke out on her back.
If I had known earlier, I should have just shouted out five thousand and two!
What to do now?
Zhao Yanran suddenly turned around and looked at Sheng He. At this moment, she could only hope that Sheng He would raise the price again.
Since Sheng He wants Taixu soil so much, he should add more, right?
As long as Sheng He adds one more spirit stone, even just one spirit stone will be fine!
Zhao Yanran looked at Sheng He nervously, but Sheng He shook his head helplessly.
"It's too high. I don't have enough spirit stones. Forget it, Junior Sister Zhao. I'll give you this Taixu soil!"
Zhao Yanran's expression changed instantly, but she still forced a smile and said, "If Senior Sister Sheng doesn't have enough spirit stones, I can lend them to you."
Sheng He stretched lazily and looked at Zhao Yanran with a smile.
"Forget it. I see that Junior Sister Zhao wants this Taixu Land, and I can't take it away from her!"
“Is… is that so?”
Zhao Yanran forced a smile and turned away awkwardly.
"Five thousand and three spirit stones for the first time!"
"Five thousand and three spirit stones for the second time!"
“Is there anyone else bidding?”
Xu Ze's eyes swept across everyone at the scene and finally stopped on Zhao Yanran.
"Five thousand and three spirit stones for the third time! The transaction is successful. Congratulations to this fairy! Please come to the backstage to collect your lot after the auction."
She didn’t know if it was Sheng He’s illusion, but she always felt that Xu Ze seemed to be smiling particularly happily.
Yun Qianshan quietly gave Sheng He a thumbs up.
"You almost scared me to death just now. I almost thought we couldn't get out and was ready to ask my master to redeem us."
Sheng He waved his hand modestly: "No, no, I'm just doing my best to make things difficult for others, it's nothing."
You can still go and collect Taixu soil, but seeing Zhao Yanran's joke is something you absolutely cannot miss.
The two looked at Zhao Yanran's face, which looked uglier than crying, and they both held their stomachs and laughed.
"Thank you all for your strong support for Wanbao Auction House. Now let's welcome our grand finale item!"
Xu Ze clapped his hands, and a wolf demon with fiery red fur came up carrying a small box.
Wolf demons with red fur are rare. What's even stranger is that as soon as this wolf demon came up, the temperature in the room seemed to suddenly rise by several degrees.
Sheng He was originally still smiling, but now he couldn't help but become more interested in this item.
Perhaps it was because the last order of Taixu Soil made Wanbao Auction House a huge profit, Xu Ze seemed to be in a good mood and did not introduce the auction items in a rigid manner as before.
He snapped his fingers, and the box in the wolf demon's hand slowly opened. It was a red round bead the size of a thumb, crystal clear inside, and surrounded by a small flame.
The moment the box was opened, a wave of heat hit me in the face.
