Chapter 68 - Fire Dragon Sword

“He actually has so many spiritual stones?” Zhou Yun did not expect that the person who was full of lies just to cheat a few spiritual stones would actually be able to take out more than ten thousand spiritual stones in one go!

One had to know that when one entered the Treasure Pavilion and raised their sign to auction, the Treasure Pavilion’s staff would confirm the assets before they were allowed to raise their sign.

In other words, this person who called himself Hellfire really had more than 10000 spiritual stones!

Furthermore, Zhou Yun also discovered that the other party’s aura was that of a perfected foundation establishment cultivator!

“Tsk, why isn’t this lackey dead yet? With him messing things up, it looks like there’s no chance for the Thicket Rain Sword.” Su Lingyun suddenly gritted her teeth and said. It was obvious that she knew this person called Hellfire.

“Senior Sister Su, could it be that this Hellfire is very famous?” Zhou Yun was a little curious.

“Don’t talk to me about him! And I’m not called Su Lingyun anymore, I’m Yun Lingsu!” Su Lingyun turned her head away. She was even angrier. “No wonder Venerable Xunling told us not to bid for the Thicket Rain Sword. It turns out that this sword was used to deceive the world!”

Zhou Yun forced a smile. He didn’t expect Su Lingyun to take his words seriously. However, compared to Su Lingyun and Hellfire, Zhou Yun was more concerned about the Thicket Rain Sword and the last auction item!

The Thicket Rain Sword was a high-grade spiritual sword that could only be used by golden core grand cultivators, but it was actually used to deceive the world!

Didn’t that mean that the last auction item was of a higher quality than the Thicket Rain Sword?!

Zhou Yun looked at Su Lingyun. He was full of confidence before, but now he was a little worried.

Did Su Lingyun really have enough spiritual stones to help him bid for the last spiritual sword?

“Don’t worry!” Su Lingyun pouted and waved her hand.

“The Treasure Pavilion doesn’t allow temporary borrowing of spiritual stones. That is to say, unless you have all the spiritual stones on you, you can’t auction off a Qi item even if you are extremely rich.

“This is also a kind of marketing tactic. It’s to make you afraid that you don’t have enough spiritual stones, so you bring enough spiritual stones and spend them in the Treasure Pavilion in this colorful world. After all, the spiritual power of the heavens and earth is scarce, and there are very few good things, but there are many ordinary things. This is a method of small profit but quick turnover.

“In this entire auction, other than that undisciplined lackey, Hellfire, no one can be richer than me!” Su Lingyun said heroically as she took out another bag of spiritual stones!

Zhou Yun was dumbfounded. He was sure that each of the two bags was worth at least ten thousand spiritual stones!

What is Su Lingyun’s background? This was enough for two golden core grand cultivators to work for a hundred years!

However, Su Lingyun obviously didn’t have the intention to explain. The entire auction was coming to an end!

“Thirteen thousand spiritual stones! Hahaha, everyone, you should bring more spiritual stones when you come out to play.” Hellfire sneered at the two disciples of the Five Sects. The Heavenly Star Institute’s disciples, who had been sneering at them, were now full of anger. The burly man with the huge pillar also had blue veins on his face, and he almost took out his pillar to smash people!

However, the auras of five golden core grand cultivators were released from time to time around the auction, which made the two brothers decide to be civilized people.

Soon, the auction ended, and the Thicket Rain Sword was handed over to Hellfire.

Zhou Yun looked to the side. They were not the only ones in the auction. There were three other private rooms in the surroundings.

However, just like Zhou Yun, the three private rooms did not initiate a starting bid at all.

“The Five Sects don’t just have boorish men; they also have quite a few clever little girls. I’m guessing that the remaining two sects’ disciples are in the remaining private rooms.” Su Lingyun supported her chin with her hand. She was a little curious as to why so many disciples of the Five Sects had come to this auction.

One had to know that ever since she went into seclusion five years ago, the Five Sects’ head disciples had never gathered again!

Su Lingyun looked at Zhou Yun and touched the sword in her hand. She would never let anything happen to Zhou Yun because he was her only hope.

“Distinguished guests, the next item is the last one. This is an additional item that our Treasure Pavilion’s Venerable Xunling has specially instructed us to add. The Thicket Rain Sword was originally our special auction item this time. However, for the sake of a single person, Venerable Xunling had especially added this item to the auction.” The black-robed man said as he carried a box up.

All the cultivators present were shocked by the black-robed man’s words!

Everyone in the Five Sects knew that the Treasure Pavilion’s Venerable Xunling was a legend! His existence was like a dream, not to mention whether he was a man or a woman, even if he really existed was another matter!

Many factions were also curious as to whether or not Venerable Xunling really existed. They had made all sorts of inquiries, but they could not find any traces of Venerable Xunling!

Even when the Five Sects made a move and asked, the Treasure Pavilion remained silent. They did not reveal or spontaneously mention anything about Venerable Xunling!

But now, in a small auction, the Treasure Pavilion had revealed the matter of the Venerable Xunling for the first time!

All the cultivators present were in an uproar!

All of them were eager to buy the last treasure with all their wealth. There were even many cultivators who were already observing their surroundings to see if there was a mysterious person who could find Venerable Xunling!

However, there were also many people with bitter faces, including Hellfire!

At this moment, he had a bitter expression on his face. Originally, he was holding the Thicket Rain Sword excitedly. This was a high-grade spiritual sword that he had been waiting for a long time to obtain. It was a good sword that only appeared once in a hundred years!

However, after the black-robed man’s words, he now felt that the Thicket Rain Sword was such an obstacle!

At this moment, Hellfire also reacted. He had been tricked! That last treasure was obviously a smokescreen deliberately released to prevent it from falling into his hands!

Even this Thicket Rain Sword had been used by Venerable Xunling to help that heaven’s favorite find out the upper limit of the cultivators’ wealth!

“Who is it? The legendary Venerable Xunling actually used such a method to help you!” Hellfire squinted his eyes. He was starting to get curious. Who was the person that had received the favor of Venerable Xunling?

In the other two boxes, there was a young girl wearing a martial arts suit with her eyes covered with a red ribbon. It was a woman with a green veil and tender eyes.

“I’ve received a message this time, saying that something has happened at the auction this time. I believe that this message was intentionally released by Venerable Xunling.” The veiled young lady said softly. Around her, there were a total of six maids. They stood in the corner without saying a word, as if they were lifeless puppets!

“I smelled a strange smell. I didn’t expect that after being drawn here, I would actually discover the traces of the legendary Venerable Xunling. This is really interesting!” The blindfolded young girl sniffed, and the corners of her mouth suddenly curved up!

“Then, this is the last auction item. It’s also an auction item that Venerable Xunling has specially sent over!” the black-robed man lifted the item.

It was a red spiritual sword with a flame mark on its body!

“It’s called Fire Dragon Sword, a top-notch spiritual sword that can really withstand the spiritual power of a late-stage golden core!
