C1726 The Harvest Was Plentiful

In the end, Leng Yanyan's intentions were still rejected by Lin Baiwan. After she kept the spirit stones, she also rejected the intentions of others to purchase them and kept the spirit stones in her own hands. After all, compared to other materials, spirit stones were the most beneficial.

After being rejected by Leng Zhan Yan, although everyone present was at a loss, they looked at Lin Bai and Leng Zhan Yan with even more warmth in their expressions. Not only that, but what Lin Bai hadn't expected was that these people's plans for him only got more and more out of hand. The first thing they did after selecting the ores was to get Lin Bai to advise them, causing Lin Bai to be extremely annoyed.

More importantly, Lin Bai had initially wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to buy a few pieces of ores that could be considered to be of good quality to cut out some spirit stones. But once he showed interest in a certain piece of ore, a bunch of people would immediately raise the price crazily. That look seemed to be wishing he could put his entire family's resources on the line, as if he could get lucky with Lin Bai if that happened.

Feeling helpless, Lin Bai did not dare to touch the ores again. He even chose three or four pieces of the empty ores in succession and cut them open with Elder Tie's help. This dispelled some of their enthusiasm. However, this made Lin Bai lose quite a bit of money. Although he had obtained quite a few things from Jiang Ling, it still caused Lin Bai to feel a wave of pain in his heart.

However, after this battle, the legend of Lin Bai's victory was finally over. No one else wanted to compete for the ore with him. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Bai hurriedly chose a few of the ores that had performed quite well and cut out a few more Spirit Stones.

This caused Lin Bai to be somewhat disappointed, but he also understood that the fact that he had obtained a high-grade spirit stone and several mid-grade spirit stones was already an incredible feat. If he were to think more about it, it would only add to his worries.

After experiencing Lin Bai and Jiang Ling's stone-gambling experience, as well as witnessing the miracle of Leng Ying's appearance, the interest of these people from the hidden sects in slicing the stone could be said to have exploded. Although some of the ore was sold out very quickly due to Lin Bai's repeated failures, the crowd still felt unresigned as they stared at the empty space.

However, no one else had managed to cut out a high-grade spirit stone like Lin Bai. Even the luckiest person could only cut out a mid-grade spirit stone, but even so, the man was still inexplicably excited.

"Fellow Daoist Mu, your stone-gambling methods are truly unimaginable. If there is a chance, I will definitely ask you for a few moves." Although no one could see that Lin Bai had let the water go, Gu Taixu, who had been keeping a close eye on Lin Bai, did not discover this secret. While no one was around, he slowly walked up to Lin Bai and said with a smile that was not a smile.

"I don't quite understand what Fellow Gu is saying …" Although he knew that Gu Taixu must have seen something, Lin Bai still acted like he was innocent. He smiled lightly, "Fellow Gu, I was really cut by luck. Just now, it was like they were all empty, causing me great heartache."

"Fellow Daoist Mu, if you don't want to say it, I can't force you either." Upon hearing this, Gu Taixu didn't deny it and smiled. Then, with a look of certainty, he slowly said: "But I believe that you will personally admit it later."

After he finished speaking, Gu Taixu looked at Lin Bai with a profound look in his eyes, as if to prove to Lin Bai that he was very confident. He seemed to be telling Lin Bai, "Just you wait, I'll definitely make you admit it."

"Then I'll have to trouble you to wait and see. However, I'm guessing that you will most likely be disappointed." Lin Bai laughed coldly, as if nothing had happened and did not mind Gu Taixu's attitude. As far as he was concerned, his goal this time was to test the strength of the hidden sects. Now that he had offended the Danding and Spirit Spring Sects, he had exceeded his expectations and didn't want to cause any more trouble.

No matter what happened, Gu Taixu had not offended him yet. As long as Gu Shenwei was not provoked, then that was for the best. If Gu Taixu really wanted to do something, then don't blame him for being impolite! Even if Gu Taixu's methods were not inferior to his, Lin Bai did not care! A man was born and bred in this world, how could he retreat just because of fear?!

"We'll know whether he will be disappointed or not after a while. The bidding for the ore has already ended, and the trade fair is next. Fellow Daoist Mu, you should have made your preparations earlier. Seeing this, Gu Taixu smiled lightly. He cupped his fist and bowed to Lin Bai, saying in a warm voice, "The trade fair will be held in my little square of mountains. I will be the person to manage it. Fellow Daoist Mu, this one will take my leave first! "

Lin Bai smiled and said nothing more, but when Gu Taixu was far away, the doubt in his eyes grew even deeper. He could tell that Gu Taixu definitely had something on his mind, but what Lin Bai couldn't figure out was, in the end, which part of him was attracted to Gu Taixu. Could it be that Gu Taixu was eyeing his handsome face?!

Thinking of that, and Gu Taixu's previous actions, Lin Bai felt a chill run down his spine as goosebumps rose up all over his body.

"Master, I think that Master Gu Shan is pretty good. Why does it seem like you don't like him?" From her point of view, Gu Taixu had shown a lot of goodwill towards Lin Bai. Before this, when Lin Bai and Jiang Ling had been gambling, he had even purposely taken care of Lin Bai's reputation.

Especially when she had been joking around with Gu Taixu about the ore, she had not expected Gu Taixu to be so gentle, actually having the ability to joke around with a ghost like her. She really couldn't understand why Lin Bai would ignore her kind intentions.

"If he didn't have any intentions towards me, would he still treat us like master and disciple?" Lin Bai smiled faintly and looked towards Gu Taixu's leaving silhouette. He said slowly, "A man's heart is separated from his body. Revealing your face, don't forget about the matter of Hua Tuo."

Leng Zhan Yan was stunned when she heard this before slowly nodding her head. As Lin Bai said, other than the ones close to him, there was no one else in this world that was good for no reason, not to mention in this hidden world where the strong preyed on the weak. The reason why Gu Taixu did such a thing was likely because it was exactly as Lin Bai had said. In his heart, he definitely had some sort of plan. Otherwise, he wouldn't have done such a thing.

"Don't think too much into it. You just need to look more deeply into the future." After reminding Leng Zhan, Lin Bai smiled and said, "Let's go. The trade fair is about to start, let's go and make some preparations."

Leng Zhan Yan nodded her head in agreement, but didn't say anything more. She followed behind Lin Bai, walking towards the private box where they came from.

Walking into the private room, he sealed the private room with a Law Domain. After eliminating the detection of divine sense from the outside world, Lin Bai took out all of the rewards he had obtained. He wanted to see just how many things he had obtained this time.

After roughly going through the items, Lin Bai could not help but be delighted. In addition to the Scarlet Pill Grass, Moon Flower Dew, and Scarlet Gold, he had obtained another high-grade spirit stone, nine mid-grade spirit stones, and fourteen low-grade spirit stones from the corpses of Chen Xuan and Kong Fang. He had also obtained a hundred bottles of Spirit Spring Water from Jiang Ling.

If all these gains were to be added together, it would be around ten thousand bottles of Extreme Frost Marrow. This was truly amazing. Even some of the hidden sects might not be able to obtain this much even if they were to dig out their entire family.

After giving the Spirit Stone to him in a stone box made of ores, Lin Bai lifted up a bottle of Spirit Spring Water and slowly opened the stopper. He wanted to see what exactly the Spirit Spring Sect's Spirit Spring Water was that was so precious.

As soon as he opened the bottle, Lin Bai could feel a dense wave of spiritual energy diffusing through the room. Although the spiritual energy was not as strong as spirit stones, it was still much stronger than that of the Scarlet Pill Grass and the Moon Flower Dew. To be more precise, the spirit spring water within these bottles couldn't even be called spring water. It seemed more like some kind of viscous mucus that emitted a faint and delicate fragrance.

Moreover, from this spirit spring, Lin Bai could feel an extremely strange spirit. He felt that as long as he consumed a bottle, he would be able to completely restore the mana within his body and bring his entire being to its peak! He could not blame the Spirit Spring Sect for being so much stronger than the Danding Sect. As long as he had such a glance at the Spirit Spring Water, what kind of expert could not nurture it?

"This Jiang Ling must be cheating!" But just as Lin Bai was lamenting, Leng Zhan Yan said angrily: "Their Spirit Spring Sect's business is extremely huge. They definitely won't only bring some spirit spring water this time, there must be other things. They said that whoever takes out everything after losing will go back on their word, what a bunch of despicable people. "

Hearing Leng Zhan Yan's words, Lin Bai couldn't help but to laugh. With this, Leng Zhan Yan's horizons had improved. Previously, when she had gotten the Scarlet Gold and Everlasting Silver from Chen Xuan and Kong Fang, they had made her exclaim in amazement. But now, with a hundred bottles of Spirit Spring Water in front of her, she was calm and composed.

Experience was indeed a mysterious thing, and it was also the greatest tool that could change a person's temperament and temperament!

However, Lin Bai understood that Leng Zhan Yan's words were true. He also knew that the people of Jiang Ling and Spirit Spring Martial School did not take out anything from their bodies. These spirit spring water were definitely only a part of the transaction fair. But even if he knew, he couldn't do anything about it, because at that time, Gu Taixu had stepped out to stop him. He had to give him face.

After all, he couldn't possibly say that he had killed Jiang Ling in front of Gu Taixu, and looted all his belongings. If that really was the case, it would undoubtedly bring about a great deal of trouble to the small mountains. Even if Gu Taixu really had intentions for him, he would definitely chase him out without hesitation. Once that happened, he wouldn't even need to think about participating in the transaction.

"Quiet!" Everyone, please be quiet! " At this moment, in the arena outside the private box, Gu Taixu's voice suddenly rang out, "The ore auction has ended. The main topic of your visit here is now, the trade fair has officially begun!"
