Danzun War God

Chapter Sixty-Eight: Encountering Robbery

At this point, the bidding in the market also soared.

"Fifteen thousand taels!"

"Twenty thousand taels!"

"..."

The price soared to 70,000 taels. Then, the room fell silent, as many felt that 70,000 taels was not worth it for a beauty pill.

"Seventy thousand taels at a time!"

"Seventy thousand taels twice!"

The room was quiet at this moment, and the woman next to the person who bid 70,000 looked happy.

"One hundred thousand taels!" Just then, a loud voice rang out. The one who made the bid was none other than Han Qi from the third floor.

Tang Siyu was stunned. She never expected that Han Qi would spend 100,000 taels of silver to buy this longevity pill for her.

Han Qi didn't even glance at a sixth-grade beauty pill; a mere sixth-grade pill was child's play for him. But to win a smile from Tang Siyu before him, spending 100,000 taels of silver was entirely worthwhile.

The women in the room screamed, all envying the woman in Han Qi's arms. At this moment, Tang Siyu was also a little dizzy from the happiness, her face began to burn, and she kept wanting to hide in Han Qi's arms.

The man who had bid 70,000 taels smiled, now he had saved 70,000 taels of silver. But the woman beside him had a long face, full of disappointment, and glared at Han Qi and the other two with eyes blazing with anger.

Finally, after two or three rounds of bidding, the hammer fell. Han Qi won the sixth-tier beauty pill.

As a result, they became the focus of everyone's attention, especially Tang Siyu, whose face was full of spring blossoms, making her even more charming and cute. Many people frequently cast lecherous glances at her.

Qin Wuyang said with a wicked grin, "Han Qi, you two have been exposed now. I knew you two had something going on. See, I guessed right."

Han Qi turned around and winked at him, but didn't say anything. Han Qi couldn't help but want to give the little girl next to him a surprise.

Soon, a beautiful woman presented him with the beauty pill. Qin Wuyang muttered, "Han Qi, you son of a bitch, I'll pay for your girls."

Han Qi ignored him, grabbed the jade box and handed it to Tang Siyu. Tang Siyu jumped up happily, gave Han Qi a kiss on the cheek and said, "Thank you, Han Qi, you're so kind."

Qin Wuyang said helplessly, "Shouldn't you thank me too? Don't forget I paid for it."

Tang Siyu stuck out her tongue at him, made a face, and then ignored him. Another item was being auctioned: a hundred-year-old green vine fruit. These hundred-year-old green vine fruits were rare and were invaluable treasures for body cultivators, capable of rapidly increasing physical strength.

After the elder in the hall finished introducing the Green Vine Fruit, he set the starting price at 15,000 taels of silver. Sure enough, the bidders were all people who cultivated both the Blood Spirit and the Spirit Body.

After the price soared to 80,000 taels, no one bid anymore. It would be uneconomical to buy the Green Vine Fruit at a higher price, since a third-tier breakthrough pill was only around 80,000 taels and had similar effects to the Green Vine Fruit. However, for those who were purely focused on body refinement, the century-old Green Vine Fruit was a more direct and effective option.

Just as the Green Vine Fruit was about to be sold for 80,000 taels of silver, the bidder was a Blood Spirit King. Judging from his cultivation level, it was not hard to tell that he had reached the point where he should advance to Blood Spirit Venerable. Therefore, he was determined to get the Green Vine Fruit and was now waiting for the auctioneer to bring down the gavel with a smug look on his face.

"I'll offer 100,000 taels of silver!" Han Qi looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was the person opposite him who was shouting the price. That person was also looking at the Blood Spirit King with a smug expression.

Blood Spirit instantly deflated. He estimated that 100,000 taels of silver was beyond his means, and he could only watch regretfully as the Green Vine Fruit fell into someone else's pocket.

During the subsequent auction, none of the group found what they wanted, so they slowly browsed while sipping tea. However, Han Qi noticed that the person opposite him was probably a cultivator of both body and spirit, because he was always the final winner of any pills related to body refinement and spirit cultivation, and he usually didn't care about the price.

Until the very end, none of them placed any more bids, because this auction mainly featured martial arts manuals, which none of them were interested in, so they just watched the spectacle.

"This trip was a waste of time; there's nothing to see here," Qin Wuyang said helplessly.

The elder presiding over the auction announced, "Next up is the last item in this auction: a weapon. However, this weapon is a bit special; it's quite old and worn. I didn't want to bring it up again, but a friend insisted that I auction it here, saying it's a family heirloom. Everyone, take a look. There's no reserve price; bids will be placed."

Then a beautiful woman brought it up on a tray, and the elder gently lifted the cloth covering it.

The room immediately erupted in laughter, and even Han Qi and the others couldn't help but laugh. Qin Wuyang laughed and said, "What a piece of junk! It's even worse than your broken sword."

After saying that, the three of them were stunned at the same time, because Han Qi's sword was a demon-slaying divine weapon, and Qin Wuyang's casual remark reminded them of that.

Han Qi quickly shushed him and whispered, "Let's wait and see. We must get our hands on this sword, no matter if it's real or fake."

Han Qi suddenly felt a jolt in his Qiankun Ring. He quickly checked and saw the sword spirit on the demon-slaying weapon inside the ring calling out to him. Han Qi immediately put his ear to it and said, "What's wrong, sword spirit? What do you want to say?"

"I sensed my friend's presence, and there should be a divine weapon nearby as well," the sword spirit cried out urgently.

Han Qi was overjoyed upon hearing this and said, "Don't worry, I'll let you meet in a bit."

The host then said, "Since no one wants it, I'll have my friend take it back and return it."

"Wait, give me this sword. I'll offer 50,000 taels of silver. Since your friend wants to sell it, he must need money. Consider it helping him out!" Han Qi said loudly.

The people in the room immediately started talking all at once. Some said this man was crazy, having money to burn and still wanting to spend 50,000 taels of silver. Others said Han Qi was just being kind.

The man opposite her was also full of mockery in his eyes. He was so ignorant that he was beyond saving.

The host bowed slightly to Han Qi and said, "I thank you on behalf of my friend, young master."

Then, he waved his hand, signaling to send it to Han Qi.

The group was extremely nervous, fearing that someone would recognize it as a divine weapon and steal it. But on the surface, they pretended to be relaxed.

Before long, the beautiful woman brought up the broken sword. Without saying a word, Han Qi took the sword and put it into his Qiankun Ring, saying, "Wu Yang, pay the bill, let's go!"

After settling the bill, Ji Ren quickly left the auction. It was still some time before evening, so Han Qi and the others prepared to find a place to build the passageway.

Qin Wuyang said, "Let's go to the nearest place first. I'll take you on a shortcut where there are fewer people."

As the group was walking, they suddenly heard someone shout from behind, "Hey! Where are you guys trying to hide?"
