“Please calm down, sir… It was our auction house’s fault for not protecting your safety,” the manager said immediately. “Therefore, I’ll make the decision today: this ancient ginseng will be 20% off!”
“No need for a 20% discount,” Tianning said, “Just break his bones.”
Manager: "..."
Seeing this, the manager could only offer many more benefits and even arranged two Nascent Soul stage cultivators as bodyguards for Tianning. He felt that this girl was not simple and that she must have a magic artifact that concealed her cultivation level. Her strength was definitely not just that of the Foundation Establishment stage!
Tian Ning ignored the people from the Lingyue Temple and turned to go to the room that the steward had arranged for him.
Her punch was quite powerful; it likely shattered many of the defensive magical artifacts on the opponent's body, and he would need to rest for several days.
That day, the name of the Weeping Immortal Venerable truly worked; the people of the Spirit Moon Temple, unusually, said nothing and silently carried the injured person back...
After what just happened, the atmosphere at the auction became a little awkward. To lighten the mood, the attendant announced that the next segment would be entertainment, and some of the guests' items would be auctioned off first.
Most of the items the guests were bidding on were just filler items, nothing particularly interesting.
What's rare is that it's a very unusual item that has attracted everyone's attention.
It was a structure made of cloth and wood, with ropes separating the top and a space below that resembled a large hanging basket.
Attendant: "Fellow Daoists, flying with spirit swords and magical artifacts is extremely common, but I believe no one has ever seen anything like this that can fly in the air without relying on spiritual power!"
"This object is called a hot air balloon, a special magical artifact crafted by the Goddess Lingyue!"
Tianning: "..."
They're all so brazenly swaggering around, there's no need to guess.
This thing is indeed rare in the cultivation world. Although it is completely useless in ordinary times, it might be a lifesaver if you encounter a situation in a secret realm where you cannot use your spiritual power.
In the end, the hot air balloon was auctioned off to a cultivator for one hundred high-grade spirit stones.
This was considered a high-priced item among the guests' auctions, so everyone stopped caring about what had happened before and marveled at how extraordinary the Goddess Lingyue was, able to create such a special thing.
Upon seeing the next item up for auction, the servant's lips twitched; he, who had seen countless grand occasions, was momentarily stunned.
"Why isn't it served yet? The customers are asking!"
The attendant, steeling himself, produced the outrageous books: "Born with Sword Bones, Teach You How to Become the Strongest Sword Cultivator!", "The Complete Guide to Talismans for Beginners: Teaching the Next Talisman Master from the Ground Up!", "Premium Improved Aphrodisiac Pill, Specially Curing Infertility"...
Everyone: "..."
The once lively auction immediately fell into an eerie silence, and whispers could even be heard from the different private rooms:
"What kind of rubbish book is this, full of empty talk?"
"They claim they can teach you to become a talisman master even if you have zero experience. Now scammers are even advertising at auctions!"
"Exactly, someone born with sword-like talent is a once-in-a-century talent; how could they possibly have the leisure to write a book?"
...
Many of the guests' items failed to sell during the entertainment segment, so it seems that this fraudulent book will inevitably go unbid.
Unless the person who brought the item out is bored enough to buy it back.
Surprisingly, someone actually bid, and immediately offered: "Ten million top-grade spirit stones!"
