"Mu Clan Leader, that technique is now mine . "
The moment the statement was made, the entire auction ground silenced until a needle drop could be heard .
Yours now?
What the f*ck!
Everyone was cursing with ugly words on the inside . They were at the peak of their excitement and were all certain that they would be the one winning the Technique of Physical Refinement . To have suddenly heard Ling Xian's presumptuous statement, how could they not be angry? However, no matter how enraged they were, they didn't dare to reveal any dissatisfaction .
For one, Ling Xian was far too capable . For two, they knew that the Mu Clan had promised him that he gets to pick three items of his choice .
In other words, if Ling Xian speaks, Mu Feng had no reason to reject him .
Because of that, the originally explosive atmosphere died down . Everyone's face was now full of annoyance and helplessness . Everyone was sighing and exhaling deeply .
The most helpless one was, of course, Mu Feng .
Originally, he had high hopes for the Technique of Physical Refinement to auction off under an astronomical price and bring great wealth to the Mu Clan . However, Ling Xian's soft statement immediately crushed his dreams . This made him steam from anger, and he wanted so much to start cursing at him .
However, he didn't dare .
For one, he was terrified of Ling Xian's capabilities . For two, the ancestor's orders came first, and he didn't dare to disobey . It was just that he felt awful about having to give up such a valuable technique to the enemy .
For this reason, Mu Feng didn't respond right away, but instead, fell into silence .
Seeing this, Ling Xian teasingly asked, "What is it? Perhaps Mu Clan leader is regretting what you said before? You don't want me to take this technique?"
"Aye, oh well . "
Mu Feng sighed deeply . Though he had a thousand reasons why he didn't want to hand it over, he knew very well that he had no choice . Therefore, he squeezed a smile that was uglier than his crying face and said, "Since I have promised already, how can I bite back on my word?"
Then, he geared his gaze towards everyone else and apologized, "Everyone, I am very sorry . However, because the Mu Clan has already promised him, the Technique of Physical Refinement is no longer a part of the auction . "
Then, everyone at the scene sighed deeply but did not say anything in response .
Mu Feng sighed as well . His heart was bleeding, and his flesh was hurting at this .
Remember that this was the Technique of Physical Refinement . In the short while beforehand, the price of it had already been increased dramatically . Yet under everyone's eyelids, Ling Xian was about to take it away without paying even half a spiritual stone . How could his heart not hurt?
Pity though, no matter how much his heart ached, it was useless . All he could do was place it into Ling Xian's hand .
"Mu Clan leader sure is a man of your word . Please give me the technique . " Ling Xian's lips curled up . He folded up his sleeves, and the scroll immediately flew towards him from Mu Feng's hand .
However, after he scanned the black scroll with his Qi, he frowned .
Then, Ling Xian coldly snickered . He didn't say anything and placed the scroll inside his storage pouch .
[Aye, it was such a good auction before this person ruined everything . Even the Technique of Physical Refinement, which was brought out by the Clan to make a profit, was taken by this person without any effort . This was also the first treasure he took . ]
Mu Feng kept on sighing and returned to the state of being absolutely exhausted . He then said, "Okay, we will continue our auction . Everyone, please bid on whatever catches your eye . "
After he spoke, everyone rediscovered their excitement . Even though the Technique of Physical Refinement was taken away by Ling Xian, they truly believed that there would be better treasures coming up .
Therefore, when more and more rare treasures made their appearances, the atmosphere once again turned heated and competitive .
Just like that, prices were being shouted one after another and everyone tried to outshine the other . A smokeless war revolving with spiritual stones proceeded to occur .
Ling Xian however, lost all of his interest . Though the treasures were nice and all, they were only nice to others . To him, they were without exhilaration .
However, the appearance of a strange pearl caught his attention .
The pearl was completely red in color and had fire symbols carved on its surface . Though its luster was not by any means dazzling, it had an overall eeriness and extraordinariness .
With Ling Xian's expertise, he recognized the item right away . It was one of the five spiritual Pearls, the Fire Repelling Pearl . It was a rare item so expensive it had no market price .
A decade ago, at the auction hosted by the Zhou Dynasty in the City of Yunxiao, he acquired a Water Taming Pearl . Though that pearl was imperfect and was only 50 percent effective, it was considered to be a treasure .
The Fire Taming pearl before him was also an imperfect treasure . Though its imperfection affects its value, it does not lessen the hype around its abilities .
When everyone saw this item, everyone's eyes turned extremely hot, and they wanted very much to claim it as their own .
"I bet everyone's sharp eyes recognize what this item is . Though this Fire Taming Pearl is incomplete, it remains 50 percent effective . If you ever find yourself in an angry fire, it can help save your life . "
Mu Feng grinned slightly, "I know you are impatient and cannot wait anymore . I will stop speaking now . The starting bid for this Fire Taming Pearl is 5,000,000 spiritual stones . The minimal increase is 500,000 . The bidding starts now!"
The shouting of prices immediately began after .
"7,000,000!" A man in purple screamed out .
"8,000,000!" Another voice immediately followed .
Within a few seconds, the price of the Fire Taming Pearl rose up to 12,000,000 . From this, it became apparent how valuable this treasure was and how much everyone wanted it .
Just as the competition became fiercer, a husky and magnetic voice rung, silencing the auction ground .
"15,000,000 . "
With one shout, he increased the price of this item by 3,000,000, startling everyone there . Everyone followed the voice and ended up finding a silhouette of a man dressed in a giant black robe .
Even Ling Xian pinpointed the origin of the voice . Then, he frowned .
"If nobody continues to bid, then doesn't that item belong to me?" The man in black spoke slowly .
"Haha, if nobody is willing to offer more, then this Fire Taming Pearl will go to this Taoist friend . " Mu Feng smiled . 15,000,000 was a very high price already . He naturally was very satisfied .
Of course, that was one part of it . The more important reason for his happiness right now was because Ling Xian didn't speak .
After hearing what Mu Feng had said, everyone became silent . They personally were not willing to spend that many spiritual stones to purchase a damaged Fire Taming Pearl .
Therefore, nobody continued to bid .
Mu Feng was a little disappointed as he wanted people to continue hyping up the prices to make up for the damage the Technique of Physical Refinement caused . However, he will soon learn that instead of feeling disappointed, he should've slammed the hammer the moment the price was offered .
Because just as he was about to announce that the Fire Taming Pearl was going to the man in black who offered 15,000,000 spiritual stones, a bright and lovely chuckle suddenly echoed, making everyone clench their teeth .
"Mu Clan Leader, this treasure is now mine . "
The exact replica of the laughter from before and the exact replica of the statement before . The auction ground was once against silenced .
What the actual f*ck!
It's yours again?
Everyone cursed heavily under their breaths and their teeth hurt from the hatred .
Mu Feng was the most broken out of everyone . He cried tearlessly .
Even that collected man in black couldn't handle his anger and crushed the chair he was sitting on into a powdered form .
