After her senior sister was reborn, she actually became a powerful and arrogant protagonist?!

"I'll pay eleven!"

"That's pathetic, I'll offer twenty yuan!"

I'll pay fifty yuan!

"I'll pay..."

Upon hearing the word "auction," the cultivators who had been eagerly anticipating the event quickly placed their bids.

With a few words exchanged, they quickly raised the price of the cultivation manual to a level that the stall owner had never dared to dream of before.

Chu Luobai remained silent, simply watching quietly as the bidding ended.

"I'll offer ten high-grade spirit stones."

As the bidding process slowed down, the number of competitors also decreased.

Liu Lian spoke calmly, revealing an astonishing price.

Those who had intended to continue bidding immediately fell silent, while others stared at Liu Lian in disbelief.

Ten high-grade spirit stones are enough to buy a niche mid-grade cultivation technique.

This Liu Lian actually spent such a high price to buy such a tattered cultivation technique?

After a brief moment of shock, everyone's gaze turned inquisitive again.

Everyone who can survive here is a shrewd and capable individual.

Liu Lian isn't stupid; he wouldn't be willing to spend such a high price just to win a smile from a beauty.

There must be something fishy about this. What could be in that old, worn-out cultivation technique that would make him care so much?

"My fairy, I'm afraid I'm going to steal your love today."

Seeing that Chu Luobai seemed to have no intention of bidding, Liu Lian stepped forward with Guan Shanyue and said leisurely.

Just as Chu Luobai was about to receive the cultivation manual from the stall owner, he spoke.

"I'll offer one hundred high-grade spirit stones."

The stall owner's eyes widened, and he swiftly withdrew his hand that had been handing out the technique, so fast that you could see his afterimage.

"........."

Liu Lian's eyes darkened slightly, his gaze fixed intently on Chu Luobai.

"Fairy, are you now determined to snatch me away?"

This sentence was full of hostility.

Guan Shanyue, who was standing to one side, quickly tugged at Liu Lian's sleeve and shook her head slightly.

Earlier, when a group of cultivators were bidding frantically, Chu Luobai noticed that Guan Shanyue's face was slightly pale.

They seemed to be frightened by the scene.

Judging from the situation, Guan Shanyue should not know the secrets of this technique.

He's just a spoiled child; he should be scared by now.

On the contrary, it was Liu Lian...

"interesting."

Chu Luobai scrutinized Liu Lian's questioning gaze, pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke.

"An auction is simply a matter of the highest bidder winning. If you like it, just bid higher than me, even if it's just one more spirit stone. Then it's yours. How can you call it a robbery?"

"Yes."

"That's right!"

"Fellow Daoist Liu, if you like it, keep raising the price!"

The people around them echoed their agreement.

Some people disapproved of Liu Lian's attitude, while others were simply looking for a spectacle.

"Whether this item is worth a hundred high-grade spirit stones or not, I'm sure you know the answer in your heart, Fairy."

"Could this auction be a trap set up by us?"

Liu Lian remained silent for a moment, then, as if he had discovered some flaw, he questioned sharply.

"puff."

Chu Luobai couldn't help but laugh out loud; this Liu Lian was really interesting.

I don't know how his brain works, how he could come to this conclusion in front of everyone.

"Sorry, I accidentally laughed out loud. Fellow Daoist Liu, please continue."

Liu Lian's face was already gloomy, and when he saw Chu Luobai laughing so unrestrainedly, his contemptuous behavior made his face turn completely dark.

"You dared to do such a despicable thing after I called you a fairy!"

Chu Luobai raised an eyebrow, too lazy to reply, and his teasing gaze fell on Liu Lian.

She wanted to see what other surprising things Liu Lian could say.

"Hmph, you dare not refute me now that I've hit the nail on the head?"

Seeing that Chu Luobai did not reply, Liu Lian's face became more smug.

"I think you're all trying to set us up and deceive us!"

Before Chu Luobai could even speak, the stall owner became anxious.

"Fellow Daoist, we can't just spout nonsense like that!"

"It was this fairy who first took a liking to this cultivation technique. I saw that you all wanted it too, so I proposed the idea of ​​auctioning it."

"Everyone participates in the auction, and once the bid is placed, it's done. This fairy has offered a high price, but she hasn't asked you to pay any money. How could she be setting a trap to cheat you?"

As one of the three major forces in Xunying City, the Mihai Society naturally has its own rules.

In this free market, once a cultivator deliberately raises prices or engages in malicious competition, it could lead to a situation where...

The person in charge of the Mihai Society will be expelled immediately and banned from ever rejoining the Mihai Society.

At the same time, they will also notify places like Feilong Pavilion to blacklist the people.

In more serious cases, even Xun Cinema is no longer permitted to enter.

The stall owner just thought he had encountered a fool who was greedy and wanted to make more money.

I never expected to be slandered like this!

I should have just sold it to that female cultivator to avoid getting into this bad luck.

"You say it's not true, so it isn't? I think you're all in cahoots, trying to lure me in with a high price."

Liu Lian glared at him, adopting a posture of eliminating a scourge for the people.

Seeing the atmosphere growing increasingly tense, Guan Shanyue couldn't help but tug hard at Liu Lian's sleeve and whispered something.

"Senior brother, forget it, I don't want it anymore."

"Why not? Don't worry, with your senior brother here today, I will definitely not let you suffer any injustice."

Liu Lian bowed his head and offered a token word of comfort to Guan Shanyue before looking up at the stall owner again.

"You're deliberately driving up the price! I'm definitely going to demand an explanation from the person in charge of the Mihai Society!"

Chu Luobai watched this scene unfold, his gaze lingering on Guan Shanyue.

Rumor has it that Guan Shanyue has been plagued by a strange illness since birth. Guan Lan has spent countless spirit stones and begged countless people to cure Guan Shanyue's illness.

Finally, an elder from the Tianyan Sect and a powerful alchemist worked together to devise a treatment plan for Guan Lan.

However, the prerequisite is that Guan Lan's cultivation level must break through to the Tribulation Transcending Realm, which is why Guan Lan is in a hurry to break through.

Unfortunately, Guan Lan did not survive.

Now, Chu Luobai looked at Guan Shanyue and saw that the other party had a rosy complexion and even breathing, which did not resemble the sickly person that was rumored to be.

"I have never met this fairy before, how could I possibly set a trap for her!"

The stall owner was furious, his face turning red. If this matter reached the manager of the Mihai Society, regardless of who was right or wrong...

There are already so few stalls available, whether he'll be able to get in next time is another matter entirely.

"Hmph, if you want to prove your innocence, then let her pay these hundred high-grade spirit stones in person today."

"I'd like to see if you can come up with a hundred high-grade spirit stones!"

Liu Lian wore an arrogant expression, but sneered inwardly.

These two dared to lie to him; he would make them pay the price!
