Socially awkward female cultivator survives in the cultivation world through online games

"Huh? Why are you so sure? He said that many people are helpless when faced with such a rare treasure, and they simply can't open it!"

Chu Yunyi stared intently at Hua Qi, her doubts growing about his confident words.

Hua Qi smiled slightly and explained confidently,

"Because we have a system, and with the help of the system, we will definitely be able to unlock the secrets hidden behind this small black stone."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunyi was taken aback at first, then her eyes lit up.

"Really? Then why don't we buy it?"

Chu Yunyi was still not quite sure if the system could unlock such extraordinary encounters that only the male and female protagonists could have, but she was still curious.

"Row."

After receiving the answer, Hua Qi's eyes sharpened, and he immediately engaged in a fierce bidding war with the mysterious figure in the next room.

The price skyrocketed, quickly climbing from a few dozen mid-grade spirit stones to as high as 200 mid-grade spirit stones.

Just then, a series of urgent knocks broke the tense and quiet atmosphere.

Chu Yunyi was a little confused. Who would be knocking on the door at this hour?

However, when she saw the servants in the room go to open the door on Hua Qi's orders, she temporarily suppressed her curiosity and quietly watched the door.

Before long, the door slowly opened, and a figure came into everyone's view.

The person who walked in appeared to be a servant as well, but the aura he exuded was clearly different from that of ordinary servants in the auction house.

This person's strength has reached the Golden Core stage.

This shows that the person behind it must have even greater power.

The servant walked straight toward Hua Qi. Chu Yunyi stared at the unexpected visitor with great curiosity, while the servant only glanced at her briefly before focusing all his attention on Hua Qi.

"Fellow Daoist, please transfer this item to us. In exchange, we are willing to offer five hundred mid-grade spirit stones!"

As the attendant spoke, he respectfully handed over a storage bag filled with spirit stones.

However, despite such tempting terms, Hua Qi remained unmoved and even raised the price.

"One hundred high-grade spirit stones!"

Upon hearing this, the servant gasped.

One hundred high-grade spirit stones is no small sum; it's equivalent to tens of thousands of mid-grade spirit stones.

"This... Fellow Daoist, isn't your price a bit too high?"

The servant looked troubled, clearly finding the price Hua Qi had proposed quite difficult to handle.

When the servant heard the number Hua Qi mentioned, his face instantly turned extremely ugly, as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water.

He stared wide-eyed at Hua Qi, his face filled with disbelief.

After the initial shock, the servant couldn't contain his anger, knowing that this was no small sum!

That's outrageous! How dare he make such an absurd request?

"Then let's bid!"

Hua Qi looked at him and said calmly.

Finally, because they refused, the servant angrily left the room, presumably to talk to the person next door.

After that, there were no further incidents. They continued bidding with their neighbor and finally won the bid with 700 mid-grade spirit stones.

It seems the neighbor didn't bring many spirit stones.

Seeing this, Chu Yunyi couldn't help but gossip with Hua Qi again.

"Huahua, do you think the person in the next room might be the male or female lead?"

"do not know."

Hua Qi had no opinion on Chu Yunyi's gossip, nor was he particularly interested.

Seeing this, Chu Yunyi could only mumble a reply, "Oh."
