Chapter Seventy You're nothing but a fart

  "The bidding price for Yingying is one thousand low-grade spirit stones, although this price can't reflect Yingying's true value. But since all of you who have come today are friends of my Yishui Institute, and also to help Yingying find a better home, we've decided to put up the lowest price...". Jiaojiao's face was full of enchanting expressions, completely unaware of what it means to be shameless.

  "One thousand three hundred spirit stones, Miss Yingying I've had my eye on it for a long time, nobody else try to snatch it from me." A white and plump man sitting in the first row stood up and shouted.

  This man reminded Ning Cheng of that arrogant old fellow from the Western Auction House, but this white and plump man in front of him looked like he was only at the fourth layer of cultivation, and it was unknown where he got such a big temper.

  "Two thousand spirit stones." Ning Cheng's guess was indeed correct, as soon as the white-robed man finished speaking, someone quoted a price, and it was immediately increased to seven hundred spirit stones.

  The quotation was given by a man in black sitting in the corner.

  Bai Pangzi obviously didn't expect anyone to dare not give him face, and suddenly became furious. "Who are you? Are you just arriving in Xijia City and intentionally trying to make me lose face?"

  Fatso, this sentence contains an important message: you just arrived in Xijia City and didn't even bother to ask who I am before daring to confront me?

  "Slap slap." Two crisp sounds, the man in black flew up and gave the fat man two slaps on the ears.

  Bai Pangzi was hit again and fell back, spitting out two teeth.

  "You're nothing but a fart. Dare to talk back again, and I'll split you in two." The man in black returned to his seat, still muttering curses under his breath.

  The white fat man seemed to be intimidated by the ferocity of the black-clad man and didn't dare continue speaking.

  Jiao seemed to have not seen him at all, still standing on the stage with a flirtatious gaze sweeping back and forth, as if hoping someone would bid an even higher price.

  Nor did anyone know that the price of the girl was only 2,000 spirit stones, or if others were afraid to compete with the man in black. No one else continued to bid, and finally the girl was sent to the side of the man in black.

  Ning Cheng noticed the black-clad man, who was definitely at the second layer of Condensing Reality, but had hidden his cultivation level. To Ning Cheng, he appeared to be only at the eighth stage of Gathering Qi. In Ning Cheng's opinion, this black-clad man's cultivation level at the second layer of Condensing Reality was not enough to intimidate the Yishui Institute. This person dared to be so arrogant here, it seemed that he had a powerful backer who could make the Yishui Institute wary.

  The red crystal curtain on the stage was lifted again, and Jiao Jiao laughed with a chuckle, "Congratulations to the friend who just got what he wanted, Yan Yan, and also congratulations to Yan Yan for finding a better place to belong."

  Ning Cheng sneered inwardly, this black-clad man buying Yingying was obviously for the sake of using her as a furnace vessel, and Yingying should be said to have entered a fiery pit. This Jiao Jiao is so shameless, yet she dares to say such words about good belonging.

  "Next up is Navi, and Navi is a dual-system spirit root, who is also gentle and beautiful. If it weren't for helping Navi find a better home, I wouldn't have let her go even if the Yishui Institute was willing to part with her. In order to make Navi happier in the future, our asking price is only 1,500 spirit stones..."

  Jiaojiao said a few words in a pretentious manner, and then the crystal curtain behind her automatically opened.

  Appearing before everyone's eyes was a lovely woman wearing a light blue dress, who didn't seem to be very tall but somehow gave the impression of being slender and refined, probably due to her good temperament.

  What made Ning City puzzled was that Nawei's face had an extremely natural smile, completely different from her previous gentle expression, as if she really wanted to be sold.

  "Two thousand spirit stones." A young man sitting in the second row suddenly called out a price.

  Ning Cheng only then discovered that Navi's gaze towards this young man was extremely gentle, and he immediately knew that this young man, like Tai Shu Shi, had come specifically to take Navi away.

  "I'll give you 2,200 spirit stones." The black-clothed man who had previously quoted a price to buy Yingying again quoted a price.

  The young man's face changed color upon hearing the quote, but he immediately said in a low voice, "Two thousand three hundred spirit stones."

  "I'll give you two thousand five hundred spirit stones." The black-robed man, who had already purchased a female cultivator, appeared to be wealthy and bold, unhesitatingly raising the price.

  Ning Cheng had already figured it out, this black-clothed man didn't seem to be after the furnace tripod, but rather wanted a female cultivator to help him cultivate some sort of technique, so the kind of female cultivator he was looking for wasn't just anyone.

  Generally, women with spiritual roots and who have practiced cultivation are mostly taken in by colleges or some small sects. This person came to Yishui Institute to buy a hanging plaque female cultivator, which is a shortcut.

  Ning Cheng secretly sighed in his heart. If it was really like that, then these female cultivators would be bought away by this person and their fate would be even more miserable than being a furnace tripod.

  "I'll pay 2,600 spirit stones. Senior, Navi is the woman I admire, please spare her." The young man's tone was extremely polite, much better than that white fatty from before. At least he didn't pull out his connections to threaten others like being from Xijia City or something.

  The man in black glanced at the young man and suddenly said, "Who are you?"

  "Three thousand spirit stones, Brother Xun. You've already taken one, leave this one for me." Suddenly, a man in gray clothes stood up from another corner, first quoting a price, then politely clasping his fists and saying a sentence to the black-clothed customer who had already bought Yan Yan and was still competing for Nawei.

  He had already bought Yunying, the black-clothed man let out a cold hum, "I recently need a few female cultivators who have great uses, next time I won't be so polite. If this time you compete with me for Xun Su, then you are my arch-nemesis."

  The black-clad man named Xun Shun called out again, "Three thousand one hundred spirit stones."

  The man in grey who had bid three thousand seemed to be wary of this Xun Shuang, furrowed his brow and finally stopped bidding.

  The young man who first quoted the price in the second row changed his face, and he had at most 2,800 spiritual stones on him. He originally thought it was enough, but he didn't expect Navi's price to rise so quickly to 3,100 spiritual stones.

  He looked at the white and chubby face with bloodstains still on it, and finally didn't continue speaking.

  Seeing that the man who was to be redeemed did not add any more money, Navi finally felt that something was wrong. Her face turned pale in an instant. They had been staying in this place for some time and had already heard rumors about some strange cultivators who used women as cultivation tools.

  Now this black-robed man named Xun Shun has bought Yingying again, obviously to use her as a female cultivator. Once she falls into the hands of such a person, all she can do is pray for a quick death.

  "Meng Lang, raise the price, quickly raise the price, please raise the price..." Nawei finally couldn't sit still and almost cried out in a mournful voice from the high platform. The sound was heart-wrenching, making people's hearts ache. Unfortunately, Meng Lang not only didn't raise the price but also lowered his head instead.

  Jiaojiao suddenly furrowed her brow and let out a cold snort. Nawei heard the cold snort and subconsciously shivered, no longer daring to ask Menglang to raise the price.

  Sitting beside Ning Cheng, Uncle Shi let out a sigh, "They are really too pitiful, if I hadn't met you, Lian'er would have been just as pitiful as them..."

  Ning Cheng hadn't seen many things like this before, and he couldn't calmly watch as these female cultivators fell into the fire pit. Even if these female cultivators were from the wind and dust, he still couldn't be calm about it. At this moment, he almost clenched his fists in anger, but unfortunately, he couldn't help with anything. He could only watch as that black-robed man named Xun Shun used 3,100 spirit stones to buy Nangong Wan away once again.

  As expected, the third and fifth women were bought by him. The fourth, sixth and seventh were bought by others. These three sisters from Yishuiyuan didn't know if they were looked down upon by Xunshun or if their qualifications didn't meet his requirements, he didn't bid for them. However, as long as he bid, he would buy them.

  The two rows of rich young men in front had made many bids, but none of them succeeded in the auction. After the experience with Bai Gouzi, no one dared to continue revealing their identity as XXX to threaten these mysterious black-clad men or those wearing hooded monk hats.

  "The eighth one to be put up is our Yishui Institute's red card, Li'nan girl. Li'nan girl has a main spiritual root and her appearance is also the best among those who have been put up this time. The price for Li'nan girl's red card is 2,000 low-grade spirit stones. Customers who like Li'nan girl, please make your move, the earlier the better..."

  After the crystal curtain behind Jiao Jiao was pulled open, a pale-faced and slender woman appeared. This woman had long hair and was even more beautiful than the previous seven people. Moreover, this woman's cultivation was also the highest so far, already at the fifth layer of Qi gathering. Ning Cheng secretly praised Taishu Shi's vision, this female cultivator was indeed not bad.

  "I'll give 2,500 low-grade spirit stones." The black-robed man, Xun Shi, was the first to bid.

  "Three thousand spirit stones," Tai Shu Shi immediately raised the price.

  It seemed to have heard Tai Shu Shi's voice, Lian E was surprised and raised her head, immediately she saw Tai Shu Shi, and her eyes instantly revealed a scorching light, even her pale face turned slightly rosy.

  "Three thousand five hundred spirit stones, this woman named Lian'e I want, who dares to raise the price again?" Xun Shun's tone turned cold and menacing, his eyes scanning towards Tai Shu Shi with a hint of killing intent.

  This killing intent was almost tangible, and Tai Shu Shi immediately felt it, and also understood that Xun Shuang was not a Qi Condensation Eight Layer cultivator, but a True Essence Cultivator.

  As soon as he felt that Shun was a true cultivator, Tai Shu's face immediately turned ugly, and he suddenly stopped, not knowing whether to continue bidding. If he continued to bid, the lesson of Bai Hua Zi was still fresh in his mind. Not only would he fail to take away Lian E, but he would also implicate Ning Cheng.

  Ning Cheng took one look at Tai Shu Shi's face and expression, and he knew that Tai Shu Shi was shocked by Yun Xi's cultivation and killing intent. Without hesitation, he quoted a price of "4,000 spirit stones."

  "Good, you have guts, daring to compete with me for this woman..." As Xun Shun spoke, a surge of killing intent rose up again, and his body shape burst out once more, directly slapping Ning Cheng who had made the bid.

  A nine-layered cultivator in Ning City is like an ant in his eyes.

  "Who the hell are you? Daring to chatter in front of me?" Ning Cheng, who deeply understood the importance of momentum, sneered at him with a sentence he had said before, then flew up and punched out.
