C2628 I Decline
Two top quality immortal spirit stones to buy an unknown red metal piece. Could this person have gone mad? The auction place instantly turned deathly silent. Everyone couldn't help but look towards the private box that Lin Bai was in.
Not to mention these people, even Young Lord Tianji had a strange expression on his face as he slowly turned his head in the direction of Lin Bai's private box. He really did not expect that at this moment, there would actually be someone who would compete with him for the crimson iron piece.
When he discovered that the room where he had bid was actually the same room where he had competed for the Thousand Illusionary Mask, a strange light flashed across his eyes. Before, Lin Bai had already spent four top grade immortal spirit stones to purchase the Thousand Illusionary Mask. Now that he bid again, it meant that he had at least six top grade immortal spirit stones in his possession.
Top quality celestial spirit stones were very rare in the Celestial Realm. Many people hadn't seen a single top quality celestial spirit stone in their lives. Even Young Master Tianji only had a few top grade spirit stones. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to spend so much effort just now to bear the brunt of the humiliation.
In his opinion, since this person possessed at least six top grade immortal spirit stones, he should have an extremely strong background. It was even very likely that he was one of the other three giants in the Immortal World. But the strange thing was that as far as he knew, of the big shots of the Celestial Realm that came to the Myriad Tribes, he was the only one with a special mission. All the other big shots were going to do it in the future.
Could it be someone from that mysterious sect? The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Lin Bai's identity was a mystery. He couldn't help but furrow his brows, feeling that things were getting complicated and confusing.
Not only that, at this moment, he even suspected that the reason why Lin Bai made such a bid, was because he had competed against Qin Wentian for the Thousand Illusion Mask, and even pushed the price to an astronomical level.
"I really did not expect that this crimson red metal piece, with an unknown inheritance, would actually be auctioned off at such a sky-high price. I believe that the two dao friends who have made this bid should have already recognized this item and know its use. Although I am also very interested to know the use of this crimson red iron piece, unfortunately, I also know that it is unrealistic. "
Just as Young Master Heavencraft was feeling that things were getting complicated, Gui Long started to laugh lightly. He then looked around and said, "Alright, now that I bid two top grade immortal spirit stones, is there anyone willing to raise the price? It has to be said that this item is extremely mysterious and has only one chance to get a treasure. Once you pass this village, I'm afraid this shop will be gone! "
No matter who that person was, he was determined to get that crimson red iron piece! After hearing Long's words, Young Lord Heavencraft slowly loosened his frown and said, "I will increase the price by three top grade immortal spirit stones!"
He thought about it. After raising the price this time around, the price of the scarlet red metal piece had already reached a sky-high price. And at this moment, he would definitely be able to deduce Lin Bai's true intentions. He would see whether he was plotting revenge, or if Lin Bai truly wanted to obtain the crimson red steel plate.
Hiss! The moment the bid was announced, everyone in the auction hall sucked in a breath of cold air. At this moment, they could all see that Young Lord Tianji was not trying to raise the price, but was actually trying to obtain the item.
It had to be known that this was different from the Thousand Illusion Mask. The Thousand Illusion Mask was an old monster in the Non-Phase Realm. It was something that made it famous. Its use was simple and obvious. It was meant to conceal one's identity. The use of such an item was clear. Although it would leave people speechless, it wasn't strange for him to be able to raise the price to four top grade immortal spirit stones.
However, the crimson iron was different. Although it was very mysterious, it didn't have much of an effect and was also incomplete. If Young Master Tianji purposely raised the price to two top grade immortal spirit stones like he did before, they would have given up. But now, he had raised the price again, which meant that he was not raising the price, but was truly interested in obtaining this item.
However, what they could not understand was what was so miraculous about this crimson red piece of metal that could move Young Master Tianji so much.
Furthermore, they felt that after Young Lord Tian Ji finished his bid, Lin Bai, on the account of Young Lord Tian Ji's status, would probably back off and hand the crimson red metal piece over to Young Lord Tian Ji.
"Five top grade Immortal spirit stones!" However, just when everyone thought that Young Master Tianji's acquisition of the crimson red metal card was a foregone conclusion, Lin Bai's brows slightly creased. After pondering for a while, he suddenly spoke up. And it was different from before. This time, he increased the bid by two more top quality immortal spirit stones.
With the increase in the price, the entire auction venue immediately became eerily quiet. Everyone wore puzzled expressions as they looked towards the box that Lin Bai was sitting in. In their opinion, it was an irrational action to offend Young Master Tianji for the sake of an unknown crimson red piece of metal. In addition, Lin Bai added up to two, it was as though he was provoking the Young Lord of Heavenly Secrets.
With such an increase in the price, Gui Long kept his silence and didn't say another word. He understood that at this moment, he didn't need to say anything. He only needed to listen to Young Master Heavencraft and Lin Bai's bid.
Even Young Lord Heavencraft didn't think that Lin Bai would actually raise the bid so much. His usually calm face was suddenly covered in a layer of frost as he coldly snorted and said, "Six top grade immortal spirit stones. If Fellow Daoist is willing to give up, then my Heavencraft Family will remember you and give you a favor. As long as it's something that Fellow Daoist requires, my Heavencraft Family will definitely do our best to fulfill it."
Young Master Tianji had made up his mind to buy this item! With Young Master Heavencraft's words, those watching were completely certain that he no longer held the responsibility and wanted to bid with all they had.
Otherwise, Young Master Tianji would not have revealed his identity just like that. Even though everyone present knew of his identity, there was still a huge difference between guessing people's thoughts and his own words.
Not only that, upon hearing these words, many people had expressions of envy on their faces as they looked towards Lin Bai's private box. From their point of view, all the promises made by the Heavencraft Family were comparable to several top grade immortal spirit stones. The Heavencraft Family had been passed down for a long time, and was also the largest family in the immortal world. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that such a family's promise was worth thousands of gold.
Lin Bai fell silent. To be honest, at this moment he was somewhat tempted. The reason he came to the Celestial Realm was to open his eyes and understand the cultivation levels of the people there. His most important goal was to save Sophia and Li Qingnan from the old man's clutches and bring them back to him.
The Old Man Tianlang's methods were brilliant and his current whereabouts were a mystery. Lin Bai was very clear that with just his own strength, there was no difference between finding him and finding a needle in a haystack. Furthermore, even if they could find him, with his current cultivation, it would not be an easy feat to defeat him. The chances of success were not even ten to twenty percent.
However, if this matter were to be passed on to the Heavencraft Family, it would be different. With the Heavencraft Family's status as one of the five giants, even if old man Tianli was even more arrogant, he would still have to give them some face. If they were to appear and rescue the two little fellows, the chances of success should be around seventy percent and they would be able to save a lot of trouble.
No, no! But just as he was about to make a move, Lin Bai steadied his heart. He felt that he couldn't be swayed by Young Master Tianji's words. This man was full of smiles. Even though his words were spoken beautifully, the chances of it happening were very slim. Cooperating with him was tantamount to working with a tiger. If he wasn't careful, he would be eaten alive.
Moreover, scarlet red iron plates were extremely rare. Although there were two pieces in succession due to luck, only God knew when the next one would appear. Just like Gui Long said, after passing through this village, there would be no more shops like this.
Most importantly, as a man, he didn't need to pretend to be in the hands of others! Needless to say, rescuing the two little ones was something that he was duty-bound to do. No matter how strong the old man was, he was still able to put up a fight!
Seeing Lin Bai's private box fall silent, the spectators all thought that Lin Bai had already submitted to the might of the Heavencraft Aristocrat Clan. After all, none of the top five elders of the immortal realms dared to provoke them.
Although there were many people who hoped that Lin Bai would be able to continue bidding and snatch the food from the tiger, they also understood that this possibility was extremely small. It was not a wise decision to make an enemy of him.
Not just them, but even Gui Long sighed softly. Like the rest of the people in the room, he also had the same thought, as he did not think that Lin Bai still had the courage to continue bidding. After a moment of silence, he did not say anything else and just started the countdown, "Six top grade immortal spirit stones for the first time, six top grade immortal spirit stones for the second time …"
Mo, aren't you arrogant? Even now, you still have to be humiliated! A person like you might be able to deal with me, but you don't have the guts to be Young Master Tianji's enemy!
Seeing this scene, Yu Wanfeng could not help but sneer. His face was filled with a mocking expression. However, he felt a sense of disgust in his heart, yet he did not realize that since an unknown time, he had begun to place Lin Bai and himself in the same class, unlike before, he felt that he was superior to Lin Bai.
"I'm sorry, I accept Young Master Tianji's good intentions, but I refuse!" At this moment, Lin Bai, who had already made his decision, suddenly gripped his number plate tightly. He then faintly said, "I will offer seven top grade immortal spirit stones!"
