C37 Substitute

The Exquisite Auction was only held once a month. It seemed like the frequency was not low, but it was still not high enough for such a huge demand.

There were still three days until the month's auction for the Absolute Essence would begin. Qin Shaojie, Qin Mai and the others also found an inn to stay. After that, Qin Shaojie very rarely went out.

Currently, the thing he did the most every day was to use his own blood essence to nurture the three profound veins in his body. Over the course of ten days, he could clearly feel that the profound veins in his body had grown a lot stronger than before. It was a pity that the current profound veins had only been in its infancy, and the profound energy it had nurtured had been completely used up by Qin Shaojie in the Sky Mullaney Abyss.

But Qin Shaojie was not worried, the nurturing of the profound veins was a process, adding on to that, forcefully absorbing the nature's profound energy without even stepping into the Spirit Opening Stage was not a piece of Good thing, after all, the current profound veins was still too weak, forcefully absorbing the energy was not something they could endure for now.

After laying a good foundation, the will to increase the tenacity and width of the profound veins, as well as the ability to absorb more and more heaven and earth profound energy would be the core.

On the other side, Qin Mai and the others had complicated expressions on their faces.

The person Qin Mai was most worried about would definitely appear at the auction today. In this way, the two would surely meet.

Young master, unless you don't want to participate in the auction, you can't avoid it.

The bearded man in the room also spoke in a deep voice. There were only five hundred seats in the entire auction. Although there was a private room that no one would be able to identify, as long as he wanted to, he would be able to find Chiang Mai.

If it was an ordinary auction, then it would have been fine. However, Qing Mai was determined to get the Sky Spirit Grass, so Qing Mai would not let him. Most importantly, if he showed too much obsession towards this item, that person might easily uncover some of his secrets.

This was what Qin Mai didn't want to see.

Dammit, didn't he arrange for those fellows to think of ways to keep him within the imperial city?

Qing Ma narrowed his eyes slightly. His expression was also quite ugly.

He was the crown prince of the current dynasty, and also one of the greatest competitors to the throne. As long as there were no other accidents, this Great Yan Dynasty would be his in the future. However, Qing Mai and the rest were naturally unwilling to accept this. They had been moving quite frequently over the years. However, the person with the greatest power in the Imperial Family right now was still Crown Prince Qin Zhu. In these past few years, she had also started to show off, and she had already been targeted by Qin Zhu. Although she had concealed herself extremely well these few years, Qing Mai did not dare to relax.

In order to prevent any accidents, he had arranged for those who knew how to play with the imperial family to pester him for a period of time. He did not expect that, in the end, Qin Zhu still appeared here.

The bearded man stayed in the imperial family for a relatively long time, so she was clear about some of the conflicts within. Even if it was not for the Sky Spirit Grass, Qin Zhu would probably be able to find an excuse for Qin Mai to appear in the auction secretly. It seemed like this kind of thing wasn't that big of a deal. However, a single mistake on this level meant that she would be unable to turn the situation around for the rest of her life.

Thus, how could he not be cautious?

Taking a step back, even if Qin Zhu did not do anything, she would definitely not let Qin Mai compete to take anything away from him. He was just a prince, but Qin Zhu was the crown prince!

The other option was for the Young Lord to not participate in the auction and switch people out.

This was the only solution the bearded man could come up with. However, even he himself found this idea unreliable.

Just finding such a person was already an extremely difficult task. In addition to having absolute loyalty, there were also methods and boldness.

His loyalty was to help Qin Lie obtain the Sky Spirit Grass. No one would be able to tell that he was intentionally auctioning it so that no hidden dangers would be left behind. Of course, the most important thing was that no one was afraid of Qin Zhu!

With her high profile, it was impossible for Qin Zhu to hide anything when she came to participate in the Exquisite Auction this time. Even today, news of Qin Zhu wanting to participate in the Exquisite Auction spread throughout the entire Lingyun City. Therefore, there must be someone who dared to compete with Qin Zhu. This was the need for courage.

In the Great Yan Dynasty, everyone had to give Qin Zhu some face. After all, this world belonged to the Great Yan Dynasty, who had the ability and means to contend against the imperial family? Furthermore, it was Crown Prince Qin Zhu.

Even if the bearded man were to really go against the crown prince, he knew that he would not even have the qualifications to compete with him.

If it was an ordinary treasure, it would be fine. However, the Sky Spirit Grass was not an ordinary item. It would definitely attract many people to fight over it. Therefore, it was impossible to keep a low profile.

Looks like I can only find him!

Qin Mai's face also revealed a bitter smile. If it was really someone else who wanted to go up, then the only person he could think of would be Qin Shaojie.

However, even he didn't expect that he would ask for someone else's help.

Young master, please reconsider!

However, even though the bearded man was respectful towards Qin Shaojie, he was still able to avoid more than ten years of the Qin family's observation. Not only were they three Tattooed Soul s, the most important thing was that their methods were not bad, and they were much stronger than many of their peers. But in the bearded man's eyes, even if Qin Shaojie was so outstanding, he would not be suitable for such an occasion.

The crowd gathered here was of the upper class. Once an auction started, even the most ordinary of people would not even dare to think about it. Perhaps the Qin family was not bad, but in the entire Great Yan Dynasty, the Qin family was really too small. In that kind of place, he really didn't think that Qin Shaojie could endure through such an event.

Maybe sitting in there and listening to the price would be the end of it. If he knew that the other party was the crown prince of Great Yan Dynasty, he might not even dare to fight him.

One's temperament wasn't fake, but one's spirit wasn't something that anyone could possess.

At that time, not only would he not get the Sky Spirit Grass, he would also make a big joke inside. Moreover, he had only known them for about ten days. The other party's character was not worth investigating. Otherwise, he would have sold them out at that time. That was a truly untouchable matter.

I know what I'm doing.

Waving his hand, Qin Mei naturally had to understand Qin Shaojie a little more. When he mentioned the fourth grade Refining Master, his expression did not change at all, and he even let Qin Mai feel a hint of disdain when he said that. At that time, he clearly knew that Qin Shaojie could not be measured with the eyes of an ordinary person.

Furthermore, he had already made a huge decision to let Qin Shaojie make the final decision with his Sky Spirit Poison Pill. He was even willing to gamble on such matters, let alone participate in the auction to obtain Sky Spirit Grass.

If he did not even have the courage to do so, then what was he talking about?

Since he had already made his choice, there was no need to hesitate. I was lucky enough to lose my life!

You're a little bolder than I thought.

In the room, Qin Shaojie looked at Qin Mai and spoke in a low voice. Not to mention Qin Mai, even the current emperor would not easily make such a decision if he wanted to do something like this.

To what Qin Shaojie said, Qin Mai was also speechless in his heart. If he said that he was brave, then Qin Shaojie would be bold to death, after all, facing the direct line of descent of the royal bloodline, Qin Shaojie was not afraid at all.

However, I might not be able to help you bid for it. Sky Spirit Grass was not only a must for Tier 4 pills. Even if one did not use it for alchemy, swallowing it would extend one's lifespan. Those who were on the verge of death could use the Sky Spirit Grass to extend their lives for a year or more.

Qin Shaojie was not a person who acted on impulse.

He could not refuse a bid as he wanted to see if there was anything he wanted. Helping Qin Mei was only a matter of time, furthermore, Qin Shaojie had high hopes for Qin Mei.

However, just as he had said, the Sky Spirit Grass was quite precious and its competition was extremely fierce.

Of course, if the auction was fruitless, it might not be the worst case scenario.

Qin Shaojie's words caused Qin Mai's spirit to rise. Could it be that there was another way? After all, Qin Mai might not even have the confidence to obtain the Sky Spirit Grass this time, even if he wanted to help himself.

As long as you are willing, you can arrange for some experts to directly snatch them away.

Qin Shaojie said indifferently as he twisted his neck.

This kind of thing, not to mention the Great Yan Dynasty, was common in the entire Tian Yuan Continent. As long as your strength is sufficient, there is no need to worry too much.

Even if one wasn't strong enough, as long as one wasn't afraid of death and was ruthless enough, there was still a chance.

But regarding this suggestion, Qin Mai sighed. Putting aside the possibility of snatching it, if this matter were to be spread out, his own future would be ruined.

Thus, he was still thinking of a way to bid for it.

As long as that thing did not fall into Qin Zhu's hands, there was still some hope.

Since that's the case, then it's up to fate. However, don't place too much hope on me, I can only say that I'll do my best.

Spreading his arms, Qin Shaojie spoke each word.

Right now, he was just a little fellow who had yet to open his spirit and walked out of a small clan. He could not withstand such a large number of hopeful wings.

Thus, it was better to say something first.

No matter what the result is, I owe you a favor after this incident.

No matter what, Qin Mai only heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Qin Shaojie agree. As for the result, he could only depend on his own life.

This is all the money I can take out right now.

As he spoke, a black card with a diamond inlaid on it quietly appeared in Qin Mai's hand.
