If we follow the arguments of the Gongsun and Yao families, Gongsun Yi's behavior was indeed inappropriate.
But if we change our perspective and what Gongsun Yi said is true, then this girl is quite clever. Rather than carrying a time bomb on her own body, she might as well throw it out and divert people's attention.
If I'm not mistaken, Gongsun Yi should have already planned her escape after the auction.
Over there, Gongsun Yi was clearly too lazy to waste any more words with these people.
She simply asked the steward to send someone to take her to pay the spirit stones first. As long as she handed over this hot potato, these people would stop paying attention to her for a while.
After Gongsun Yi left, the Yao family youths were extremely anxious: "What should we do? The spirit stones we have might not be enough to save Lian'er. If Lian'er falls into the hands of the Four Saints Hall, I'm afraid..."
"What's the panic?" said the old man who had just stopped Gongsun Yi. "Lian'er is someone I've watched grow up with my own eyes. I will absolutely not let her get hurt!"
After enjoying the excitement, the entertainment segment is over, and the auction continues.
The items auctioned this time were indeed unexpected.
Several burly men carried a transparent water tank onto the stage. Inside the tank was a woman whose upper body was that of a normal human, but whose lower body was that of a shimmering fish tail!
"It's a mermaid!" a guest exclaimed.
It is well known that mermaid voices are like heavenly music, clear and melodious, as if they can evoke every note in the ocean, and they have a captivating power!
If we could form a bond and have it become my spirit beast, that would be absolutely wonderful!
Mermaids live in the sea year-round and rarely come ashore. They are also accustomed to living in groups, so few cultivators would dare to target them.
Attendant: "This mermaid's cultivation level is quite high. It was acquired with great difficulty at the auction. The starting bid is one hundred high-grade spirit stones!"
The cultivators below immediately began bidding.
Tianning wasn't interested in the mermaid; he just regretted not bringing Xiaobai along.
I wonder what Xiaobai's reaction would be if he saw a mermaid?
In the end, the mermaid was bought by the Gongsun and Yao families in their private room for 80,000 top-grade spirit stones.
Tianning will also take pictures of anything that interests him, since it's a rare trip to the Western Continent and he definitely wants to bring back gifts for everyone.
As items were sold one by one, the auction drew to a close.
The last item was brought out, and everyone looked at the twenty blood-red beads. Some were puzzled, some were surprised...
The attendant said, "Phoenix Tears!"
"The only way for cultivators to enter the Phoenix Spirit Vein is rumored to be... Although the Phoenix Spirit Vein has long since become a wasteland, I believe you fellow cultivators have all heard of it. There was once a beast tamer in the Eastern Continent who, after entering the Phoenix Spirit Vein, obtained a phoenix egg by chance! He successfully hatched it and formed a bond with it!"
"This Phoenix Tear is an opportunity! If any of you can find a phoenix egg in the Phoenix Spirit Vein and form a pact with it, your future path to immortality will surely be smooth sailing! After all, the Phoenix Flame is more powerful than any other strange flame!"
The waiter's words greatly excited the guests. The phoenix was a divine beast, and with such an opportunity before them, they had to give it a try no matter what!
Tianning wasn't interested in Phoenix Tears, but the person the attendant mentioned was probably Zhou Han. He could ask Zhou Han when he got back.
In this way, the auction officially came to an end.
Next came the process of handing over spirit stones and receiving the items. However, the auction house had to give Tianning far too many top-grade spirit stones. Tianning sat and waited for a long time until everyone at the auction house had left before the manager finally counted out the nine million top-grade spirit stones and gave them to Tianning.
