Tang Xiao Qi announced the sky-high price of "three million supreme-grade spirit stones." The entire mine auction site fell into dead silence. The air was full of imaginary burnt smell from spirit stones, and countless gazes mixed with shock, greed, disbelief.
Three million supreme-grade spirit stones! This was not a number but a spirit mountain many medium and small sects! Even for Situ clan, this was absolutely not an amount that could be casually squandered. The black-cloaked person's intense aura fluctuation and almost killing intent fully illustrated this.
The one-eyed man's breathing was like a broken bellows, Xiao Qi, voice due to excitement: "Th-three million! This hat-wearing friend offered three million! An-any higher?" His gaze involuntarily glanced toward the Situ clan's black-cloaked person direction, carrying expectation yet hidden fear.
The black-cloaked person's hood shadow, cold gaze like two poisoned daggers, Xiao Qi. His hands clenched into fists on his knees, knuckles white from force, making creaking sounds. Clearly, this price had touched his bottom line, or exceeded his expected resources this trip.
"Friend," the black-cloaked person's voice was like nine abyss cold ice, each word carrying cold intent: "Are you certain you want to compete with my Situ clan, to the end?"
This time, he directly reported his family name! "Situ clan" these three characters, like carrying some magic, caused many present who knew the details to, instinctively, eyes showing deep wariness. Hidden demonic cultivator family, with strange methods, vengeful, was anyone unwilling to easily provoke.
This was barely concealed threat, attempting to use family prestige to pressure Xiao Qi into giving up.
However, Xiao Qi merely slightly raised his hat. The shadow beneath seemed to, voice still hoarse and calm: "Auction site rules, high bidder wins. Could it be that Situ clan. cannot afford to lose?"
"You!" The black-cloaked person abruptly stood, demonic aura uncontrollably, forming a black ripple. Golden Core middle-stage pressure like mountain pressed toward Xiao Qi! He wanted to make this, publicly embarrassed, even spiritual heart!
"Boom!"
Invisible momentum collided in air, making muffled sound. Many Foundation Establishment cultivators nearby, feeling chest tight,.
However, Xiao Qi at the pressure's center, was like a reef in the storm,. Even the seemingly harmless Rabbit Spirit on his shoulder merely lazily lifted its eyelid, continued gnawing on spirit fruit it somehow produced.
Xiao Qi even did not deliberately release cultivation to resist. Just the Azure Lotus Golden Core naturally circulated within him. A centrist, peaceful, deep as sea aura emitted, not confrontational impact but like a bottomless ocean, silently absorbed, that demonic pressure.
He still stood there, aura steady, as if that Golden Core early-stage cultivator pressure was merely.
This scene caused everyone to!
The black-cloaked person even, hood gaze full of and disbelief. He was Golden Core middle-stage! The other clearly appeared only Foundation Establishment, how could so easily dispel his pressure? Unless. the other concealed cultivation! And cultivation was absolutely not lower than him, possibly even higher!
This thought made the black-cloaked person's wariness instantly anger. A opponent with wealth and strength. continuing hard here was by no means wise.
Xiao Qi felt the other party's momentum, knew the moment was right. He no longer looked at the black-cloaked person, turned to the auction stage: "Host, if no one bids higher, may we drop the hammer?"
The one-eyed man snapped from shock. He looked at the yet clearly Situ clan's three, then at this mysterious, wealth and strength hat-wearing cultivator. Quickly in his heart.
Sand Scorpion Gang only recognized spirit stones, not people! Moreover, this hat-wearing cultivator's displayed strength was absolutely not easy target!
"Three million supreme-grade spirit stones! First call!"
"Three million supreme-grade spirit stones! Second call!"
"Three million supreme-grade spirit stones! Third call!"
" Sold!"
The wooden hammer fell, sound, ending this contest of wealth and strength.
Xiao Qi ignored the cold gaze his back,. He did not directly pay three million spirit stones but again took out several jade boxes from his storage treasure. Inside were respectively a with rich Geng Metal aura, a containing earth origin power, and a small bottle of with dense life aura. These three heaven-earth treasures, each worth far exceeded several hundred thousand supreme-grade spirit stones, especially priceless to those with special needs in refining, formations, or alchemy.
He traded with goods, easily paid the equivalent of three million spirit stones.
When that heavy, containing suppressing power "Demon-Suppressing Nail" truly arrived in his hand, Xiao Qi's heart slightly settled. He could feel, this nail and that seal fragment had a subtle resonance, as if they were originally one, or from the same huge sealing system.
He stored both items quickly, did not linger, slightly nodded to the one-eyed man, turned toward the mine exit. Pace seemed not fast yet like , several flickers already at the entrance.
The Situ clan's black-cloaked person his disappearing back, vigorously waved hand, bringing the other two, like three ghost shadows, silently merged into shadow, followed out. The auction site was left with countless complex gazes and murmurs.
In wealth, Xiao Qi multiple fortuitous encounters accumulated wealth, Situ clan.
In strength, though not truly, that dispel of pressure had made Situ clan.
He won this contest. But also completely with Situ clan.
Outside the mine, moonless and windy,. Tang Xiao Qi was clear, the real test, had just begun. He not only must protect these newly obtained treasures but also use this opportunity to instead investigate Situ clan's details and plan!
