Chapter 17 If you have money, you can really do whatever you want
Yun Qingyi ignored what the people below were saying and stared intently at the stone.
Finally, the phoenix eggs have arrived.
That's right, this stone is the phoenix egg that Yun Yu'er obtained in the book. To prevent it from being eaten by other beasts, the little phoenix's mother sealed it in this obsidian before she perished, waiting for the right time for it to break out of the stone using its bloodline power.
Ling Xuzi and Xie Xiyan, who were offstage, also noticed that this stone seemed different from the others, and they secretly communicated with each other.
Just as Hongxiao was about to strike the hammer, a voice came from room number ten: "Two hundred high-grade spirit stones."
Oh, so she's getting into a game with her. Yun Qingyi is intrigued. Is she going to compete with her to see who has more spirit stones?
He raised his hand, signaling the maid to hold up a sign: "One thousand high-grade spirit stones."
"To think she would ask for a thousand high-grade spirit stones so readily, I'm underestimating her," Xie Xu said sharply. "Two thousand high-grade spirit stones."
"Two thousand high-grade spirit stones once! Two thousand high-grade spirit stones twice..."
As Hongxiao prepared to strike the final blow, Xie Xu couldn't help but sneer, "Heh, that's all you've got."
"Twenty thousand high-grade spirit stones."
what? !
How can it be!
Xie Xu was shocked and couldn't believe it. He also had 20,000 high-grade spirit stones, but those were the ones he had saved up since he was a child.
No! Absolutely not!
Everyone present gasped in shock.
Even Hongxiao forgot to strike the gavel; she truly hadn't expected that this broken stone, which had been at the auction house for several years, would actually be worth 20,000 high-grade spirit stones.
Xie Xiyan wasn't as shocked as the others, just a little surprised. This stone must indeed have something, just as his master had said.
Thinking about it, he picked up the spiritual fruit he had just picked the day before yesterday and took a bite. The juice was sweet and juicy, and the crisp and sweet taste filled his taste buds. Sigh, he was getting hungry after standing for so long. He needed to fill his stomach, since he hadn't started fasting yet.
"Hey! You little rascal, you're hogging all the food!" Ling Xuzi almost drooled when he saw Xie Xiyan eating the spiritual fruit.
Xie Xiyan was speechless: "You can't eat it anyway."
……
Yun Qingyi smiled slightly, sitting elegantly in her chair, her eyes like a pool of clear water.
There was nothing she could do; spirit stones were the last thing she needed.
No wonder novels love to slap faces in the face; it really feels good. Anyway, the enmity of stealing his Xuanbing Flower has already been formed, so since we've already offended him, let's make it as thorough as possible.
The deal is done!
Once she came to her senses, Hongxiao struck the gavel three times. This time, no one raised the price, and Yun Qingyi got the phoenix egg as she wished.
When the phoenix egg was brought over, Yun Qingyi put it into her storage ring. The space inside the bracelet was rather special and not suitable for storing it there.
Although so many spirit stones were spent to bid for this stone, no one in the room asked any questions. Yun Qingrou felt that spending these spirit stones to make her older sister happy was making the most of what little she had left, so there was no need to ask.
The four elders felt that the young lady acted with discretion and there was no need to ask. What? You're saying that spending 20,000 high-grade spirit stones on a broken stone is a waste? Nonsense, everything our young lady does is right.
Cao Changle was the only one who knew that there was a phoenix egg hidden inside the stone, but since the owner didn't intend to tell him, he didn't ask.
Seeing that no one was interested in asking her why she had taken a picture of that stone, Yun Qingyi touched her nose and said nothing more.
After bidding on a few more items, Yun Qingyi looked at the bracelet, her eyes crinkling with delight. She had a very fruitful day. Ah, what can you do? Money talks.
Half of these items were snatched from that young master of the Xie family. Now, she reaffirmed her belief that money truly can buy anything.
The auction was nearing its end. Yun Qingyi glanced at the last item up for auction—a small pagoda. Xie Xiyan had actually bid again! Yun Qingyi's eyes lit up; another opportunity to get someone to owe him a favor.
As expected, Xie Xu raised the price again, just like Xie Xiyan. Just as Xie Xu was feeling smug, thinking he had finally regained some face, Yun Qingyi made her move again.
Inside room number ten, Xie Xu slammed his fist on the table in front of him, shattering it with his fury. Why was that number fifteen always going against him? It was simply too much! He glanced viciously at the broken pieces in front of him. Once he got out of there, he would torture that woman to the point of wishing she were dead, just like this table!
"Young Master Xie, this table is a set with us, it costs 30,000 high-grade spirit stones."
The maid walked up with a smile and pointed to the smashed table.
Xie Xu was stunned into disbelief: "What did you say? This table costs 30,000 high-grade spirit stones?!"
"Yes, Young Master Xie, this table is a set, and there's only one of its kind," the maid said with a smile.
Xie Xu was so angry he almost spat out blood: "Fraud! This is fraud! I will never let you succeed!"
"So, Young Master Xie doesn't want to pay?" The maid's expression changed, her face turning cold. Immediately, five or six Nascent Soul stage experts appeared around them.
"I advise you, young master, to think carefully before you speak."
……
The auction had ended, and Yun Qingyi and her group walked out of the auction hall.
After walking for a while, Yun Qingyi wondered to herself: Why aren't they here yet?
Speak of the devil, and he appears. Just as Yun Qingyi and her group continued walking forward, a pure and clear young voice came from behind.
"Please wait, fairy." Xie Xiyan called out to Yun Qingyi as he noticed that the group seemed to be led by the girl in the moon-white dress.
Finally, they arrived. Yun Qingyi turned around, suppressing her inner joy. Her gaze remained cold and indifferent as she calmly turned to look at the young man behind her, her eyes filled with a hint of doubt.
The young man, dressed in a black robe, exuded an arrogant and unrestrained aura. He had already removed the mask covering his face, revealing a face with sharp features, exquisite and cold expression.
He was taken aback when he saw Yun Qingyi, and said somewhat awkwardly, "I would like to exchange some pills for the Xuanbing Flower that I won at the auction, is that alright?"
"it is good."
"what?"
Xie Xiyan was somewhat at a loss. Had he agreed to the pills without even saying anything?
"What's wrong?" Yun Qingyi looked up at him, her eyes filled with confusion.
"Fairy, shouldn't you first confirm what kind of pill it is?" Xie Xiyan scratched his head. Actually, he wanted to say, what if he was a swindler? It's easy to get hurt if you trust others so easily.
Yun Qingyi shook her head: "No need. The cultivation world values fate. It is fate that you came to find me. Fellow Daoist does not seem to be a petty person. I believe you will not lie to me."
"Thank you for your trust, Fairy." Xie Xiyan was filled with gratitude and didn't say much more, taking out the pills he had prepared beforehand.
"These are two bottles of Grade 6 Ice Heart Pills, a total of six pills. Taking them can prevent and eliminate all hallucinations and illusions."
Sixth-grade Ice Heart Pill?
"It's indeed a good item," Yun Qingyi said, taking the jade bottle and putting it into her storage bracelet. She then took out the Xuanbing Flower and the small tower, handing both to Xie Xiyan.
"This Ice Heart Pill is very precious. It would be a waste to exchange it for a Mystic Ice Flower. I'll give you this little tower as well."
Xie Xiyan didn't stand on ceremony when he saw the small tower: "Thank you, fairy. This tower is of great significance to me. I won't stand on ceremony with you. If you don't mind, may we become friends?"
The boy's eyes were sincere and clear, and deep within them seemed to hold the vastness of the Milky Way.
