"Today's auction has ended. Thank you for your support. Please come here to collect the items you bought."

There was still a smile on Xu Ze's face.

The door of the venue slowly opened, and many people walked out with sighs.

Sheng He winked at Mu Yao and Yun Qianshan. The two looked in the direction Sheng He pointed and saw Zhao Yanran, who was mixing in the crowd and trying to sneak away.

Sheng He's mouth curled up slightly: "It seems that we can watch a good show today."

"ah!"

A scream was heard.

Zhao Yanran looked in horror at the four wolf demons that had appeared beside her at some point, and was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.

"Don't draw your sword, otherwise it will be seen as a provocation to Wanbao Auction House. If you are put on the blacklist, it will be not good to be hunted down every day."

Xu Ze smiled and held down Chu Heng's hand as he was about to draw his sword, then walked to Zhao Yanran's side and extended his right hand like a gentleman.

"Fairy, you have taken the photo of the Taixu soil, but you have not paid the spirit stones yet. You cannot leave for the time being!"

"You can't hurt me! I...I belong to Xuanxiao Immortal Venerable..."

"Shut up!"

Seeing more and more cultivators gathering at the door, Chu Heng shouted and quickly helped Zhao Yanran up and pulled her aside.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Xu. We are disciples of the Qingyun Sect and will never default on our debts."

After Chu Heng finished speaking, he gently touched Zhao Yanran's arm.

"Yanran, why don't you pay the spirit stones quickly?"

A trace of panic flashed in Zhao Yanran's eyes. With trembling hands, she untied the storage bag tied around her waist and took out all the spirit stones in the bag.

Xu Ze immediately smiled happily, and while counting the spirit stones he said with a smile: "Oh, this is really a misunderstanding, fellow Taoists, please don't blame me!"

But when he counted to the end, Xu Ze's expression gradually became solemn.

Five thousand and two?

Why is there one missing?

Xu Ze patiently counted again until the third time.

Xu Ze smiled and raised his head: "There are a total of 5,002 middle-grade spirit stones here. Although you two are disciples of Qingyun Sect, our Wanbao Auction House has never given discounts. I wonder where the remaining middle-grade spirit stone is?"

"Five thousand and two?"

Chu Heng frowned and looked at Zhao Yanran. Zhao Yanran froze in place, with cold sweat soaking her back.

More and more wolf monsters approached the two of them. Zhao Yanran stood there in a daze, too frightened to move.

Seeing Zhao Yanran's frightened look, Chu Heng's heart softened, and he bowed to Xu Ze and said, "Friend Xu, my junior sister has always been timid. I wonder if you can let these wolf monsters withdraw first. Don't worry, we won't owe you anything."

Xu Ze sneered: "You said you won't owe me money, so you won't owe me money? I've seen many people like you who are so righteous!"

"Now, either you make up for the remaining spirit stone, or you leave your life here!"

Chu Heng's face flushed red. He had always been a favored child of heaven. Everyone in the sect treated him as the eldest senior brother. Even the elders and the sect master were kind to him. This was the first time that he was called "hypocritical" in public.

Perhaps because he felt that he had lost face, Chu Heng urged: "Yanran, didn't you say that there were enough spirit stones? Hurry up and take out the remaining spirit stone, otherwise we might be misunderstood."

Zhao Yanran's lips trembled even more. She threw herself into Chu Heng's arms and cried, "Brother, there are no more spirit stones. I counted wrongly. There are only 5,002 spirit stones in total. Brother, what should we do?"

Xu Ze narrowed his eyes and looked at Chu Heng dangerously.

Looking at the wolf demon with fierce eyes, Chu Heng felt a little fear in his heart, but Zhao Yanran was crying sadly in his arms, and he couldn't bear to blame her.

When Chu Heng was thinking about countermeasures, he suddenly saw Sheng He wearing the uniform of a Jianfeng disciple in the crowd.

Chu Heng breathed a sigh of relief and quickly shouted, "Junior Sister Sheng!"

Sheng He raised his eyebrows, looked at the two senior sisters, and walked forward slowly.

"Big Brother, what's the matter?"

"It's like this. Yanran bought the Taixu soil, but we are still short of a middle-grade spirit stone. Junior Sister Sheng, didn't you also want this Taixu soil at that time?"

"Why don't you lend us a middle-grade spirit stone, and we can give you some Taixu soil."

Sheng He looked at Xu Ze, and Xu Ze spoke at the right time.

"This Taixu soil is only enough for one person. If it is divided into two, the effect will be greatly reduced."

Sheng He shrugged, and Chu Heng quickly said, "Then let's do this! Junior Sister Sheng, as long as you are willing to lend me a middle-grade spirit stone, I am willing to pay you back tenfold, no, a hundredfold! I am willing to pay you back a hundredfold!"

Under Chu Heng's hopeful gaze, Sheng He raised his hand and took out the spirit stone from the storage ring.

Then he handed the spirit stone to Xu Ze.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, these are my 700 mid-grade spirit stones. I'm here to get my Lihuo Pearl."

After Sheng He finished speaking, he seemed to have just remembered Chu Heng and spread his hands towards him apologetically.

"I'm sorry, Senior Brother. You know, I can only get a limited amount of spirit stones every month. These 700 mid-grade spirit stones are all I have. Although I really want to lend them to you, I really don't have any extra spirit stones."

Zhao Yanran, who had been burying her head in Chu Heng's arms, suddenly turned around and glared at Sheng He.

"You offered five thousand spirit stones before! You! You..."

Zhao Yan then realized something belatedly and pointed at Sheng He with anger in her eyes: "You did it on purpose! You said those words on purpose to provoke me and make me keep raising the price, just to make me be detained here now!"

Sheng He couldn't stop laughing in his heart. It was funny that Zhao Yanran only reacted now, but her face was still confused.

"Junior Sister Zhao, what are you talking about? I begged you to give me the Great Void Land, but you were the one who refused and insisted on raising the price!"

"Besides, I offered five thousand because Senior Sister Yun said she could lend it to me. I risked going into debt and bid it out. Don't you agree, Senior Sister Yun?"

Sheng He desperately winked at Yun Qianshan, and Yun Qianshan nodded cooperatively.

"Yes, I promised to lend it to Xiaohe."

After Yun Qianshan finished speaking, he took out a spirit stone from his storage bag and handed it to Xu Ze, then happily put the seventh-grade purple thunder talisman into his sleeve.

Chu Heng immediately looked at Yun Qianshan.

"Then Junior Sister Yun, can you..."

Yun Qianshan shook a bunch of bracelets on his wrists towards Chu Heng.

"I'm sorry, Senior Brother Chu, I've used all my spirit stones to buy these things. I was planning to borrow Xiao He's spirit stones from Master. Why don't you ask Brother Xu if he will accept the bracelet?"

"Or jade hairpins, necklaces, bracelets, and waist chains. I have them all."

Chu Heng's face became increasingly gloomy. Next to Sheng He was Mu Yao.

But Mu Yao... He knew that she had spirit stones, but when it came to Mu Yao, he couldn't open his mouth.
