Hearing this, Zhang Shao's face darkened. He glared at his follower and said, "Are you stupid or am I stupid? This isn't something you should worry about. Just do as I say. Why are you talking so much?"
Hearing this, the attendant beside him nodded hurriedly and responded, "Young Master, you are absolutely right. I am a foolish person, I hope you will forgive me."
After that, Zhang Shao didn't say anything else. At first, he wanted to report it to Yuwen Hu as soon as possible, but later he didn't think so.
Reporting to Yuwen Hu in time would naturally result in a huge reward, but this was not enough. He wanted greater merit to make his and his sister's positions more stable.
In comparison, reporting to Yuwen Hu now is far less effective than bringing Qin Tian to Yuwen Hu personally.
Of course, he also knew how powerful Qin Tian was and how famous he was, so he naturally made preparations and was confident that he could defeat Qin Tian.
Afterwards, four more items were auctioned off. These four items were quite presentable and were sold for very high prices. However, Qin Tian did not bid for them. Although these four items were good, they were of no great use to him.
"Everyone, this is the last item to be auctioned today. It is also the most precious treasure in the bottom of the box. I will definitely not let you down." The young man held a purple and red ancient box in his hand.
As he finished speaking, the young man opened the box and took a closer look. Inside was a round bead like a night pearl, the size of a fist, with bits of starlight contained within it.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but discuss in horror:
"This... is this the Star Spirit Divine Pearl!?"
"Yes, it is indeed the Star Spirit Divine Pearl. It is said that this Star Spirit Divine Pearl contains extremely powerful star power. If you practice with it, you can break through a major realm in three years!"
"It's really the Star Spirit Divine Pearl. It's worthy of being the finale treasure. It's really extraordinary!"
"The Star Spirit Divine Pearl, its value is inestimable!"
…
As the conversation gradually faded, the young man on the auction table smiled slightly. This was exactly the effect he wanted. In fact, both the quality of the treasures and the process in previous years and this year were almost the same as today.
However, the outside world was saying how exciting the Lingbao Pavilion's auction was, all because of this last treasure.
"Everyone, be quiet. The auction will begin now. The starting price is 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones, and each bid increase must not be less than 10,000 medium-grade spirit stones." The young man said in a loud voice.
One hundred thousand medium-grade spirit stones!
This is just a starting price. The figure of 100,000 spirit stones alone is enough to discourage too many people.
This price is not an astronomical figure, but one hundred thousand spirit stones is already half of the value of the Star Spirit Pearl.
"One hundred and one hundred thousand medium-grade spirit stones!" Zhang Shao called out the price.
"One hundred and twenty thousand!"
"130,000!"
"One hundred and sixty thousand!"
The bid was fixed at 160,000 when Zhang Shao called it out, and the whole audience fell silent for a moment.
One hundred and sixty thousand! This is already a peak. There is still some room for it to go higher, but after all, it is not big, so it is not worth it to go higher.
At this time, Jade Purity Immortal said, "Master, shouldn't we bid for it? That Star Spirit Divine Pearl is indeed a rare treasure."
"Are you Biao? The Star Spirit Divine Pearl is indeed extraordinary, but it is only worth 180,000 at most, which is already the maximum. Now 160,000 is already the peak. If you increase the price further, you will lose money." Gongsun Qingwu glanced at Yuqing Zhenren with a look of disappointment.
Upon hearing this, Jade Purity Immortal smiled innocently and said nothing more. As for Qin Tian, he smiled slightly and said, "No need to bid. Wouldn't it be better to get it for free?"
This sky-high price of 160,000 was asked by Young Master Zhang, and Young Master Zhang was bound to fight with him. In the end, the Star Spirit Pearl would still be his.
Hearing what Qin Tian said, Yuqing Zhenren and Gongsun Qingwu looked towards the next room at the same time and understood what Qin Tian meant.
At this moment, the young man presiding over the auction dropped his hammer and shouted, "One hundred and sixty thousand once! One hundred and sixty thousand twice! One hundred and sixty thousand three times! Deal!"
In the end, Zhang Shao bought the Star Spirit Pearl for 160,000 yuan, which drew cheers from everyone. Afterwards, everyone received what they had bought.
The Lingbao Pavilion auction ended, and the crowd dispersed. Zhang Shao walked up to Qin Tian and the other two and said slowly, "If you three don't mind, I'd like to invite you to my house. I'll treat you three to a meal, just to make friends.
Don't worry, the three of you, even though you have some conflicts with my brother-in-law, it has nothing to do with me.
Let's talk about our own things, and I'll be your cover, so the three of you can have a good time in Soul City. As for other things, you don't have to worry about me.
In fact, there is no hatred between us, and I really admire Mr. Qin for being able to defeat Fang Xuanji and the Holy Bodhisattva. I really want to make friends with Mr. Qin."
Zhang Shao's words were flawless and his expression was extremely sincere. If a newbie was just starting out, he would have actually believed his lies.
But none of the three people in front of him were easy to deal with. To put it bluntly, his little trick was just to avoid a falling out for the time being and to keep each other in tacit understanding.
"My lord, you see that Mr. Zhang is so eager to invite us and is extremely sincere. Why don't you just give him a favor?" True Man Yuqing said slowly.
Qin Tian nodded slightly, "Okay, thank you for your concern."
In fact, Qin Tian didn't want to do these useless things. He just liked to be straightforward, but under the current circumstances, he had to do so.
In this case, if a conflict arose, Qin Tian could certainly kill Zhang Shao instantly, but in this case, Yuwen Hu would naturally find out.
Qin Tian naturally would not be afraid of Yuwen Hu, but at this moment he was indeed no match for Yuwen Hu, not to mention that there were so many powerful people in the Yuwen family. They naturally could not stop Qin Tian if he wanted to leave, but the purpose of Qin Tian's trip was for the lifeblood of the Yuwen family.
If Yuwen Hu was alarmed at this moment and the whole city was under martial law, it would be extremely detrimental to his subsequent actions.
The second reason is that Zhang Shao is Yuwen Hu's brother-in-law, and Zhang Shao's sister is Yuwen Hu's most beloved woman, who has never fallen out of favor for many years, proving that this woman is extremely capable.
Qin Tian wanted to use this to find out the lifeblood of the Yuwen family. Yuwen Hu doted on Zhang Shao's sister so much, and he must have said something out of turn over the years. It was possible that Zhang Shao's sister knew about it.
This is why Qin Tian agreed. If not for this, how could Qin Tian agree?
When Zhang Shao heard Qin Tian's words, he grinned and said, "No, no, I'm really glad that Mr. Qin can go. Mr. Qin, please!"
He did a great job on the surface, but in his heart he cursed Jade Purity Master and Qin Tian:
Give me face, give me face!? You are so arrogant and conceited, you don’t know how much you weigh, how can you give me face!?
Just wait and see! If I don't torture you three to death, I won't be named Zhang!
No matter how angry you are in your heart, you have to appear calm and pleasant on the surface. This is a compulsory lesson for a power-seeker.
