Ye Lanfeng and the elders of the Ye family exchanged glances.

One of the white-haired elders said sternly, "If the prophecy Miss made earlier is true, Penglai will be destroyed in the collapse of the secret realm. Then this Lingxu scroll must not fall into Penglai's hands!"

"If Penglai gets this scroll, they can avoid this catastrophic disaster. Then when will we be able to avenge our Ye family?"

Ye Tianying died, Ye Xin also died, and several elders of the Ye family were imprisoned in the Cliff of Regret. In the eyes of the elders of the Ye family, if Penglai had not intervened in the matter and opened the trial of the immortal sect for Yu Qingning, the Ye family would not be where it is today.

They all hoped that Penglai would be reduced to dust in the collapse of the secret realm as Ye Hanyue had predicted, so that their great hatred would be avenged.

Therefore, the Ye family must spare no effort to obtain this Lingxu scroll! Even if they don't get it, they will never let it fall into the hands of Penglai!

Yu Qingning's eyes narrowed slightly. When she was at the Ye family before, she knew that the Ye family was financially strong. After the death of Ye Tianying and Ye Xin, although the Ye family's strength was greatly reduced, its foundation still existed.

Otherwise, Ye Lanfeng would not have been able to bid 1.58 million top-grade spirit stones.

When she heard this amount, she wanted to rob the Ye family.

The female auctioneer was also very good at creating a good atmosphere. She shouted, "One million and five hundred eighty thousand top-grade spirit stones. Is there anyone who can offer a higher price? This is a legendary Lingxu scroll. I'm sure all the distinguished guests present are well aware of its value. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss it, it will be hard to find it again!"

The auctioneer's voice echoed in the auction hall, once again stimulating the nerves of everyone present.

"One million and seven hundred thousand!" A vicissitudes of life voice sounded, breaking the noise in the venue.

Yu Qingning looked in the direction of the voice and his eyes fell on an old man in a simple robe in the corner of the field.

The old man had a calm expression, but his eyes revealed a sharpness that could not be ignored. Although his voice was soft, it caused quite a stir in the auction house.

Although the old man did not wear a hood to cover his face, Yu Qingning concluded at a glance that the old man must have changed his appearance.

It should be said that the many cultivators who came to the auction house today, all came for the legendary treasures, and either concealed their faces or changed their appearances and did not show their true faces.

So, when the melee starts to fight for the Lingxu scroll, no one knows who the other party is. It’s exciting just to think about it.

But it is not easy to snatch it away. After all, anyone who dares to spend a huge amount of spirit stones to bid for the Lingxu scroll must be very powerful, otherwise how could he dare to bid for it knowing that he was just delivering food to someone else.

"One million and eight hundred thousand!" Another deep male voice sounded in the next box, unwilling to be outdone.

Yu Qingning sighed in his heart, thinking that the person in the next room was not an ordinary person, but was really rich.

Just as she sighed, she heard someone in Room 1 on the third floor shout out a jaw-dropping figure: "Two and a half million top-grade spirit stones!"

For a moment, the air in the auction hall seemed to freeze, and everyone's eyes were focused on the direction of Room No. 1 on the third floor.

Yu Qingning was shocked and thought that this guy was really an idiot. He raised the price by 700,000 top-grade spirit stones. He was treating the spirit stones as happy beans.

"Two and a half million top-grade spirit stones. Is there anyone who can offer a higher price?" There was a slight tremor in the female auctioneer's voice, and she was obviously shocked by the price.

The atmosphere in the auction hall suddenly became extremely tense, and everyone was speculating about the identity of the person in Room No. 1 on the third floor, who was so wealthy.

In the Ye family's wing, Ye Hanyue, Ye Lanfeng and several elders looked at each other. It was obvious that the price had exceeded their expectations.

"Master, we can no longer afford a higher bid. These 2.5 million top-grade spirit stones are our limit. It seems we have to find another way."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lanfeng nodded, a hint of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

He responded in a low voice: "What the elder said is that since we can't take the Lingxu painting scroll, we can only rely on robbing it."

Ye Hanyue bit her lip. This was all that could be done now.

It is better to rob others than to have others rob them.

Then he looked at the elders and said in a pleading tone: "Elders, you are the backbone of the Ye family. This Lingxu Scroll is of vital importance to us. The honor and future of the Ye family also depend on you elders. Elders, please go all out and get the Lingxu Scroll at all costs!"

The elders of the Ye family looked at each other in bewilderment. One of the oldest elders hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, please rest assured, young lady. We will do our best."

Ye Hanyue nodded slightly. She knew that although the elders of the Ye family were quite powerful, tonight would definitely be a melee.

It is not easy to successfully seize the Lingxu Scroll. They must start discussing the next steps now.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the auction hall remained tense. Another voice rang out from another room on the third floor: "Three million top-grade spirit stones."

This voice was like thunder, plunging the entire auction hall into silence.

Three million top-grade spirit stones, this number is not a small amount even for those families with profound background or large sects.

Yu Qingning put down the pastry in his hand. Even though they were not the ones who raised the price, he became excited at this moment.

She knew that the climax of the auction had arrived, and the person who would ultimately win the Lingxu scroll would soon be born.

"Four million top-grade spirit stones!" The person in Room No. 1 on the third floor bid again, and raised the price by one million top-grade spirit stones as soon as he opened his mouth. His voice also revealed his determination to win.

Everyone in the venue stared with bated breath, already shocked by the astonishing price. For a moment, no one spoke, and all that could be heard was the sound of gasps.

This is four million top-grade spirit stones! They usually don't even dare to think about it, and have never seen it before.

The female auctioneer's voice trembled with excitement as she announced in a gentle voice, "Four million top-grade spirit stones, is there a higher bid?!"

There was silence in the venue, and all the monks were anxiously waiting to see if anyone would raise the price further.

Yu Qingning felt that no one would raise the price anymore, because no matter whether it was a top family or a sect, they probably wouldn't be able to offer more at this price for the time being.

Seeing that no one raised the price, the female auctioneer felt that the price was enough.

A clear voice broke the brief silence: "Four million top-grade spirit stones, once! Four million top-grade spirit stones, twice! Four million top-grade spirit stones, three times!"

"Congratulations to the distinguished guest in Room 1 on the third floor who successfully won the legendary Lingxu Painting Scroll at the price of four million top-grade spirit stones!"

As the auctioneer's hammer fell, there was a burst of warm applause and discussion in the auction hall.

Although the bidding for the Lingxu Scroll has come to an end, everyone knows that the real competition has just begun.

Inside the side room, Yu Qingning couldn't help but applaud the man's courage.

The system above his head was so angry that it cursed when it thought that these four million top-grade spirit stones would go into Xie Jibai's pocket.

Su Ye's gaze moved up along Yu Qingning's cheek, and just this one glance made the system tremble with fear.

He didn't even bother to continue scolding Xie Jibai and went straight into Yu Qingning's sleeve.

[Ningning, he he he he, he must have seen me! The villain is so evil!]

Yu Qingning sighed softly, turned to look at Su Ye, and suddenly heard Su Ye's telepathic voice.

[If you want the Lingxu scroll, I will get it for you.]

【And I have a plan that will make sure he gets nothing. 】

Upon hearing this, Yu Qingning was slightly stunned, and then realized that the 'he' Su Ye was talking about was Xie Jibai.

Su Ye wanted to make sure Xie Jibai got nothing, which meant that he wanted to make sure Xie Jibai couldn't get any spirit stones?!

But how did Suye know that the Lingxu scroll was put up for auction by Xie Jibai?

Could it be that Suye could really see the system and hear what it said?!
