Even before Tianning had finished considering it, countless customers were already bidding for the 10,000-year-old ginseng.
After several price increases, the price of the 10,000-year-old ginseng was finally set at 60,000 top-grade spirit stones, and people in three private rooms continued to bid.
"Eighty thousand top-grade spirit stones!"
One of the male cultivators was the one who bid the most aggressively.
His private room was crowded with people, all dressed in the same uniform, suggesting they belonged to some family.
Before the male cultivator could even look at his two competitors, he heard a clear, melodious female voice say, "180,000 top-grade spirit stones."
Everyone turned to look in the direction of the sound at the girl wearing the bird mask.
Eighteen thousand top-grade spirit stones is no small amount. Even a large family would need to think carefully before taking it out. Everyone saw that the girl was alone from beginning to end, and wondered which family sent her.
The male cultivator behind the mask looked grim, but he still managed to control himself, bowed to Tian Ning and the other two competitors, and then said:
“Young lady, and also the Star Moon Temple and the Lingxiao Temple, I am Zai Fu Ye, a descendant of the Zai Fu family. My patriarch was severely injured last year after being framed by a demonic cultivator. We have searched for countless alchemy masters within the clan, but all have been helpless! This ten-thousand-year-old ginseng is our last chance. I beg you all to yield to me, so that this incompetent junior may do my utmost to save the life of my patriarch!”
He introduced himself and spoke with heartfelt sincerity: "One day, Zai Fuye will be eternally grateful for the great kindness of the three of you!"
Tianning: "..."
Star Moon Temple and Lingxiao Temple: "..."
This guy knows how to use moral blackmail.
A cultivator from the Lingxiao Divine Palace sneered, showing no respect whatsoever, and said, "Tch! What demonic cultivator is trying to frame me? I think your Zaifu family patriarch is clearly nearing the end of his life and wants to use this ten-thousand-year-old ginseng to prolong his life!"
"Don't think I don't know that you, Zai Fuye, are utterly useless as the head of the Zai Fu family. If the elders above you fall from power, I'm afraid your life in the Zai Fu family will not be easy!"
The cultivator who spoke sounded very young, even younger than Tian Ning. Young people are bound to be impatient, and he spoke very bluntly.
"you!"
Zai Fuye was furious, but in this Western Continent, the Ten Great Families had always been overshadowed by the Four Holy Temples, and now they were completely helpless against the people of the Lingxiao Temple.
"190,000 top-grade spirit stones!" As they spoke, the people from the Star Moon Temple raised their bids again.
After announcing his bid, he specifically looked at the people from the Lingxiao Temple and said, "This ten-thousand-year-old ginseng is of great importance to our temple, so we ask the Lingxiao Temple to yield to it. Hereby, our temple can guarantee that we will not compete for the following three items that the Lingxiao Temple has taken a fancy to!"
The Four Saints Temple has always appeared calm on the surface.
The Lingxiao Temple seemed satisfied with this attitude and did not continue bidding.
Having received the other party's reply, the Lingyue Temple then turned its attention to Tian Ning, but compared to the other party, their tone carried a more threatening connotation: "Miss, I guess you are neither a member of the Four Holy Temples nor one of the Ten Great Families."
"You may not understand the Western Continent, but as an elder, I'd like to kindly remind you that if you want to steal something from the Four Holy Temples in the Western Continent, you'd better think twice about whether you have the ability to do so."
However, she is just a Foundation Establishment stage girl who doesn't even have a powerful elder by her side. She dares to join their competition. Doesn't she know her own limitations?
As he spoke, the old man from the Spirit Moon Temple deliberately released the pressure of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
He could almost picture the girl's disheveled and embarrassed state on the spot.
However, the girl seemed not to feel anything at all.
"oh."
She spoke calmly, then dropped a bombshell:
"Nine hundred and ninety thousand top-grade spirit stones."
Elder of the Spirit Moon Temple: "..."
Everyone: "???"
Stealing the young master?!
Not one of the countless cultivators present doubted that they had misheard!
Zai Fuye was shocked. Even if he sold his entire Zai Fu family, he wouldn't have that many top-grade spirit stones!
Moreover, the auction had only just begun when it reached the outrageous price of 990,000 top-grade spirit stones!
Tian Ning crossed her arms, her expression hidden behind a mask, but the elder from the Spirit Moon Temple could detect a hint of mockery in her voice: "No way! No way... This is something the Spirit Moon Temple has its eye on. Your Spirit Moon Temple is so powerful, you can't possibly not even come up with 990,000 top-grade spirit stones?"
Elder of the Spirit Moon Temple: "..."
"You damned brat!" The man next to the old man slammed his fist on the table in front of him and immediately stood up from his chair to teach Tian Ning a lesson!
No one in the Western Continent has ever shown such disrespect to the Spirit Moon Temple!
When that person rushed into Tianning's private room, Tianning had already taken out the coffin, lay down peacefully inside, and closed the coffin lid.
Everyone: "..."
What kind of operation is this? Are they just lying there waiting to die?
However, when the Nascent Soul stage cultivator's punch landed, it smashed a huge hole in the window of the entire private room. Tian Ning's private room was on the sixth floor, and the guests on the fifth floor below her were almost affected as well. Yet, the coffin actually withstood the blow and remained completely intact!
Tianning lay inside, but his mouth couldn't stay quiet: "Oh, you're getting so loose with age?"
Everyone: "..."
"You brat, I'll teach you a lesson today!"
The man was furious and was about to make a move when the auction house manager rushed over and told him to stop.
With the Spirit Moon Temple at his back, the man clearly didn't take the manager seriously: "A mere auction house dares to interfere in the affairs of my Spirit Moon Temple!"
The manager was quick-witted and brought up someone who could keep things under control: "It's fine that this is just an auction, but this place was personally established by the Celestial Venerable Tianqi back then. Although the Celestial Venerable no longer pays attention to auctions, if word gets out and he gets angry because of it, it's not something you or I can handle..."
When the so-called Heavenly Weeping Immortal Venerable was mentioned, the man's arrogant attitude lessened considerably.
He was about to say, "You're lucky, girl; I'll spare your life today!"
The coffin lid had been opened at some point, and Tianning immediately struck, delivering a powerful punch to the man's stomach!
With a loud "bang!", the Nascent Soul stage body cultivator was sent flying from the sixth floor and crashed onto the auction stage!
"I'll spare your life for now, since I share the same surname as that Heavenly Weeping Immortal Venerable." She said it casually, as if a powerful being were sparing an ant.
Beneath the mask, everyone was shocked!
She's clearly only at the Foundation Establishment stage, yet her words are so arrogant!
Moreover, to knock down a Nascent Soul stage body cultivator with a single punch—is that really something a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator could do?
