Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

Hearing Ji Yuezhang's bid, Gu Lang feigned hesitation and then continued to raise the price:

“I will offer 1,400 spirit stones.”

The rogue cultivator on the third floor who was interested was a Golden Core cultivator. He snorted coldly, quite dissatisfied with the interference of the junior on the second floor.

But he also knew that a junior who had just reached the ninth level of Qi Refining could produce such a large sum of spirit stones, so he must have something to rely on.

Besides, this is Nanli City.

He wasn't wealthy, but he was still able to ask for the price twice.

"One thousand five hundred spirit stones."

To everyone's surprise, when Gu Lang spoke again, he directly added five hundred spirit stones, saying:

"Two thousand spirit stones."

"hiss--"

Such a damaged ritual object sold for such a high price!

Li Jie was overjoyed. He had been here for many years and had presided over countless auctions, but he had rarely had such a big deal!

Thank you, spendthrift!

Just when he thought no one would bid higher, he suddenly heard the two talisman cultivators on the second floor speak again, and—

"Two thousand and one spirit stones."

They only added one spirit stone?!

The Golden Core cultivator on the third floor scanned the two talisman cultivators with his divine sense, sensing their cultivation levels. He was quite disdainful, thinking that they must be disciples from some immortal cultivation family, acting so impulsively.

How naive!

Especially the master of the Juque sect, who took the opportunity to teach his disciples, said:

“Cheng’er, you must not do this when you go out in the future. You should know that although this thing is good, it is extremely useless. Those treasures that can be sold for two thousand spirit stones will definitely be fought over by many people. How can you be lucky enough to pick it up?”

Even if we find the treasure with this item, we may not be able to get our hands on it.

"Although we don't lack spirit stones, we shouldn't spend them on something that's destined to be a loss."

To put it bluntly, good things don't need to be searched for in the mountains.

Why not just release your divine sense and go find out where cultivators are fighting?

Gu Lang was clearly "enraged".

He sneered and said, "Two thousand one hundred spirit stones."

Upstairs and downstairs, they were filled with caring eyes. If it weren't for the fact that Golden Core cultivators could release their divine sense, they wouldn't know which way to look at these two spendthrifts on the left and right.

Ji Yuezhang followed closely behind, adding another spirit stone.

"Two thousand one hundred and one spirit stones."

Gu Lang was "furious," but considering the large number of people around, he could only suppress his anger and stand up to look at the other side.

Looking over there, he seemed to have discovered something, and chuckled:

"Fellow Daoists, do you truly wish to contend with me?"

"otherwise?"

Zhu Wuyao also stood up, not minding at all being seen as a fool with too much money by the people in this lavish pavilion.

That's a joke; she has no money at all.

Gu Lang gripped his folding fan tightly, looking like he could barely contain himself. He sneered twice and said:

"Two thousand two hundred spirit stones."

"You two are the fortune tellers who have been saying all these days that a great disaster is about to befall Nanli City, right?"

"What are your intentions in spreading such alarming rumors to scare people out of the city, while you yourself come to the auction to buy treasures at high prices?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was filled with doubt.

They all began to scrutinize the two obviously suspicious black-robed cultivators on the second floor.

One of them happened to have witnessed the "farce" of smashing the fortune-telling stall and confirmed it:

“It’s her! I recognize that black sword! She said that there would be a flood or earthquake in Nanli City within a month, and that everyone should leave the city to take refuge.”

Zhu Wuyao quickly took a step back, concealing the black sword.

It seems like he has a guilty conscience.

Ji Yuezhang panicked for a moment, and forced a smile as she said, "How could you falsely accuse someone like this!"

Li Jie hadn't anticipated this scene. A thought flashed through his mind, and he remembered what the two talisman cultivators had said: "Master went back and brought people over..."

Could it be...

If it were such an arrogant person, jumping around like that in front of a Golden Core cultivator, they would teach them a lesson without the Huijin Pavilion even having to lift a finger.

The key point is that neither of them is arrogant; that's obviously foolish!

Especially the seventh young master of the Gu family, who had a spirit stone on his head, actually made this news public because of a fight of pride.

No wonder he spent three thousand taels of silver to buy a flower-watering puppet.

Everyone fell silent, their interest piqued.

Hopefully, more information can be revealed during this dispute between the two sides.

The young man from the Gu family just said something clearly pointed; he was saying—

Those two cultivators used alarmist talk to drive people away, but then bought treasures at high prices to stay behind. They wanted to monopolize the treasures of Nanli City!

As expected, the young man from the Gu family continued his attack:

"You say you're not? Fine! Then say something like, 'Those two fortune tellers are complete idiots,' and I'll believe you!"

Everyone was getting anxious!

Let's continue talking about the treasure, why are you throwing a tantrum and arguing now!

Ji Yuezhang seemed so angry that he didn't know what to say. After stammering for a while, he finally said:

“We don’t even know those two righteous fortune tellers, so how can we just curse them like that?”

"I don't want this anymore. This damaged magic artifact isn't worth so many spirit stones. I'd like to see if you can produce it!"

After saying that, he sat down angrily.

The young master of the Gu family had a smug look on his face.

The performance ended, but the audience was far from at peace...

Could it be that a treasure is about to be born in Nanli City?

Elder Zhao, who was there to oversee the auction at Huijinge, knew a bit more about the two men, including that they came from the Ji family of Fu Dao.

A flood of thoughts immediately took flight.

Could this be the reason why the two little girls' protectors weren't around?

Did they go back to the Ji family to seek help?

Moreover, there is no news of any major disaster within the Juque Sect recently...

If it's just something like an earthquake or flood, it can't really be called a major disaster; at most, it might just take some ordinary people with it.

Could it be that these two girls are making such alarmist claims because they've actually discovered something or know something?

Ha, the Ji family made a terrible mistake by leaving these two juniors in Nanli City!

Elder Zhao thought about it more and more and it seemed more and more likely.

In particular, this was something he deduced; others might have taken it as a joke, but only he understood everything!

Hahahahaha!

At the auction, everyone had different thoughts.

They were even very interested in this "mountain-seeking plateau," but the high price of 2,200 spirit stones made them hesitate.

That's it!

Now that we know there might be treasure in Nanli City, and it's within the next month, let's just wait.

If something is amiss, surely you can detect it with your divine sense?

This item is useless.

Gu Lang appeared smug, but he was actually very anxious.

There's a rare treasure!

Don't you want to look for a mountain path?

It only costs two thousand two hundred spirit stones...

Waaaaah, someone please bid again!

I don't want it!!!

If my dad finds out, if my brothers and sisters find out... wouldn't I be confirmed as a fool...?

But no one could hear his inner cry. Searching for the mountain, a broken magic treasure, was successfully acquired by Gu Lang for a price of "only" two thousand two hundred.

At the auction, Gu Lang suffered heavy losses.

At the Ink Trace Bookstore, the popular storybooks are doing quite well.
