Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1487

Chapter 1487: Chapter 766: Any Higher Bids? (Part 2)

In Room B, Qi Shaoling abruptly stood up, his face full of shock and confusion.

As the Young City Lord of Xiaguang City, he knew almost every notable figure in the Southern Border, yet he had never heard the name "Mu Xue."

In the auction hall, Fairy Yue Xia’s cold voice echoed in every corner.

"Congratulations to Fairy Miao for purchasing the King Realm Martial Technique ’Taixu Godslaying Slash’ for three million High-grade Spirit Stones!"

With a gentle wave of her jade hand, a jade scroll emitting a deep blue glow slowly rose from the auction stage.

"According to the rules, our pavilion will personally escort the auction item to your side."

Gu Sheng sat calmly in the room, his expression unchanged, though his fingertips trembled slightly beneath the table.

His gaze swept over the graceful figure not far away... Miao Muxue was elegantly rising, her skirt undulating like ripples on water.

"There’s no need to trouble Fairy Yue Xia."

Miao Muxue’s voice suddenly turned cold and distant, a stark contrast to her earlier soft tone.

"Just give me the token representing the quota. As for this Martial Technique..."

She turned her head toward the direction where Gu Sheng was seated, a meaningful smile playing at her lips.

"I’ll gift it to Young Master Gu."

Gu Sheng’s pupils suddenly contracted.

At the moment Miao Muxue stood up, he keenly sensed a change in her aura... It wasn’t Miao Muxue, but another soul within her, her sister Miao Muqing!

The room erupted in uproar.

The tea cup in Ye Yiyi’s hand cracked open with a sound, and amber tea dripped down her slender fingers.

"Three million High-grade Spirit Stones... given away just like that?"

Ye Yiyi’s voice trembled slightly, and she stared fixedly at Gu Sheng.

"What’s your relationship with her?"

Gu Sheng did not answer immediately.

A stream of spiritual power seeped into his Sea of Consciousness like a trickle, and Miao Muqing’s voice directly sounded in his mind.

"This is my sincerity and also a test. If you can keep this King Realm Martial Technique safe, only then are you qualified to cooperate with us."

Gu Sheng sneered inwardly.

What a clever plan! This "big gift" was both an effort to win him over and a ploy to test him under pressure.

Countless eyes in the room were already fixed on this Martial Technique, and it was clear Miao Muqing intended to use him as a pawn, watching if he could survive the pack of wolves around him.

"Young Master Gu?"

Fairy Yue Xia had already arrived at the door of the room, holding the jade scroll with a questioning look in her eyes.

Gu Sheng rose calmly, cupped his hands, and said.

"Many thanks to Fairy Miao for her generous gift."

As he took the jade scroll, his fingertips felt a chilling cold.

The surface of the jade scroll, which recorded the King Realm Martial Technique, was encrusted with dense ice crystals, evidently a mark deliberately left by Miao Muqing.

At the moment he stored the jade scroll in his Storage Ring, Gu Sheng sensed at least seven Divine Senses sweeping over him.

One of them, particularly cold, came from the gray-robed figure in the corner of the hall, who had kept their head lowered throughout.

"Do you know Miao Muxue?"

Ye Yiyi suddenly transmitted a secret message, her voice filled with unprecedented seriousness.

Gu Sheng sat back in his original seat without showing any emotion and replied secretly.

"A passing encounter."

"Ha..."

Ye Yiyi sneered.

"The secrets of the Southern Emperor Lineage are known to no more than thirty people besides those in the group. If you and she were merely passing acquaintances, how could she..."

Before she finished speaking, Fairy Yue Xia had already rung the jade chime on the auction stage.

"Next, the auction for the quota to enter the Purple Mist Cave Heaven starts at three hundred thousand High-grade Spirit Stones, with each increase no less than fifty thousand."

The bidding sounds emerged one after another, yet Gu Sheng turned a deaf ear to them.

He stared into Ye Yiyi’s eyes, which suddenly turned exceptionally bright, and secretly transmitted.

"Miss Ye seems to be very familiar with the sisters of Fairy Miao?"

"It’s merely a mutually beneficial partnership."

Ye Yiyi countered with the same words Gu Sheng had used earlier, her eyes lit with cunning.

"However..."

She suddenly leaned closer, the faint fragrance of her hair wafting to Gu Sheng’s nose.

"How about discussing it further after the auction at my place?"

Gu Sheng did not answer immediately.

He observed the transition in Ye Yiyi’s demeanor, which, after a brief uncertainty, became unusually vivid, as if shedding a layer of disguise.

More curiously, when she mentioned "place," her fingertips unconsciously traced a peculiar rune on the table... a secret handprint understood only by the Inner Sect disciples of the Purple Mist Divine Sect.

"Why doesn’t Miss Ye participate in the auction?"

Gu Sheng suddenly inquired.

"With your financial prowess, securing a quota shouldn’t be difficult."

Ye Yiyi raised her eyebrows, as if she heard something amusing.

"Are you silly? I am already a disciple of the Purple Mist Divine Sect, and my mentor is the current Sect Hierarch."
