Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1485

Chapter 1485: Chapter 765: Giving You Face (Part 2)

"The auction begins now."

The auction hall was silent, with hundreds of pairs of eyes fixed on the podium at the scroll glowing with a faint golden light, yet not a single person raised a paddle.

The air seemed to freeze, and even the sound of breathing was clearly audible.

"Heavenly Rank Top-grade martial technique ’Spirit Rhinoceros Finger,’ starting bid at fifty thousand High-grade Spirit Stones."

The voice of the Red-clothed Woman, Yue Xia, was as crisp as a clear spring striking a rock, particularly clear in the silent hall.

"If no one bids, in ten seconds it will be declared unsold."

Gu Sheng sat in the back row, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest of his chair.

This martial technique was indeed good, but the price of fifty thousand High-grade Spirit Stones was certainly not cheap.

He turned his head to look at Ye Yiyi beside him, who was staring intently at the platform, her eyes shining with a peculiar light.

"Five, four, three..."

Yue Xia began the countdown, her voice unhurried and calm.

Just as the count was about to end, Yue Xia suddenly let out a soft laugh.

"It seems everyone’s interest in this martial technique is not high. However..."

Her slender fingers brushed over the Jade Scroll.

"This ’Spirit Rhinoceros Finger’ was created by me three years ago, and whoever wins it will be personally taught by me."

As soon as her words fell, the entire auction hall seemed to explode.

"Fifty-five thousand!"

"Sixty thousand!"

"Seventy thousand!"

Voices calling out bids rose one after another, and the price climbed at an astonishing speed.

Gu Sheng frowned slightly, turning to look at Ye Yiyi.

"Isn’t this price a bit excessive?"

Ye Yiyi’s lips curled into a meaningful smile.

"Yue Xia is the Branch Leader of the Branch in Xiaguang City, second only to the General Leader. These people..."

She glanced at the martial artists in the front row frantically raising their paddles.

"Are just using this opportunity to curry favor."

Gu Sheng suddenly understood.

His gaze swept over the front row, and indeed, most were local martial artists from Xiaguang City, each vying to bid with flushed faces, as if it was no longer a martial technique, but a ticket to the upper echelons.

"Three hundred and fifty thousand!"

A deep voice overshadowed all the bids.

The crowd followed the voice to see a middle-aged man in a brocade robe slowly standing up.

"It’s Manager Liu from the Heavenly Luck Workshop."

Ye Yiyi whispered.

"It seems today’s winner is decided."

Yue Xia’s face showed a satisfied smile.

"Three hundred and fifty thousand, going once... going twice... sold! Congratulations to Manager Liu."

She nodded slightly.

"After the auction, I will personally visit you."

Manager Liu, his face full of joy, cupped his hands to the surroundings, as if he had already gained immense honor.

Yue Xia lightly clapped her hands, and two attendants brought up a long spear, entirely silver-white.

"The second item for auction, Heavenly Rank Middle Grade Divine Weapon ’Cloud-breaking Spear,’ starting bid at two thousand High-grade Spirit Stones."

Gu Sheng had little interest in spear techniques, intending to close his eyes and rest, but Ye Yiyi suddenly leaned in.

"Brother Gu, how many Spirit Stones did you prepare this time?"

"Not bad."

Gu Sheng gave a vague answer, then asked in return.

"Why, is there something Miss Ye has her eye on?"

Ye Yiyi bit her lip, her eyes showing hesitation.

"There’s an item later that I must obtain, but I might not have enough Spirit Stones..."

She looked directly into Gu Sheng’s eyes.

"If it’s convenient for Brother Gu, could you help me secure it? I, Ye Yiyi, will owe you a favor."

Gu Sheng did not immediately answer, his gaze returning to the platform.

At this time, the Cloud-breaking Spear’s price had been raised to five thousand High-grade Spirit Stones, with several spear technique martial artists competing fervently.

"What does Miss Ye want?"

Gu Sheng finally spoke.

"It’s too early to say now."

Ye Yiyi smiled mysteriously.

"But it shouldn’t be a necessity for Brother Gu."

Gu Sheng let out a light snort.

"Miss Ye, you certainly understand me well."

"Six thousand four hundred High-grade Spirit Stones!"

A martial artist in a purple robe in the front row shouted, his voice filled with determination.

Yue Xia took in the entire room.

"Are there any higher bids?"

After a brief pause, she announced.

"Congratulations to Protector Zhao of the Purple Mist Divine Sect."
