C17 One Kiss

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's just talk about the price!"

A young man couldn't wait any longer and directly asked for the price.

"Haha, good. Human Level High Rank Weapon, Ethereal Sword. The starting price is fifty Marrow Pills. Each increase must be at least five Marrow Pills."

"60!"

"80!"

The bidding voices rose and fell, and soon, the price reached 120. This made Xiao Yang smile.

Even though he knew that the Ethereal Sword was expensive, this price was still beyond his expectations.

"As expected, coming to the auction is the right choice."

Xiao Yang thought to himself. He finally understood the power of the auction. He had already planned to come to the auction if there was anything good in the future.

"Two hundred! Let's see who else dares to fight with me!"

Just at this moment, a cold voice sounded. It increased by 80 pills in one go, causing the entire auction hall to fall silent.

Countless people looked in the direction of the voice and saw an old man dressed in black standing up. Facing the gazes of everyone, he also looked back coldly.

"He is a Human Level Weapon Master, Zhao Ji! He actually took a fancy to this Ethereal Sword!"

"Good fellow, he took a fancy to it. Then let's not increase the price anymore. This person can't be messed with."

A few voices of discussion sounded, but the people in the auction hall all revealed a look of fear. They all knew how powerful this Zhao Ji was.

Not only was Zhao Ji a Human Level Refining Master, he was also a Peak of the Physical Body Level Nine. There were even rumors that he had already reached the Genuine Qi Stage, and there were also rumors that he had not broken through. However, regardless of whether he had broken through or not, his strength was already very strong. At the same time, there was once a small sect that took a fancy to the weapons that Zhao Ji had forged, and they wanted to forcefully buy them with their numbers. However, they were all killed by Zhao Ji alone, and even the dogs of that small sect were cut into pieces. This was truly ruthless, so no one dared to offend him.

When Xiao Yang saw the fear in everyone's eyes, he knew that Zhao Ji was a great expert, and he felt a little regretful.

Of course, this regret was not enough to affect his emotions. He knew that two hundred Marrow Pills were already the limit. Even if the auction continued, there would only be ten or twenty more. This was not important compared to what he had already obtained.

"Hehe, since Master Zhao Ji has offered such a high price to buy it, then this sword will belong to Master Zhao Ji."

Bai Ling, who was on the stage, felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. However, she knew how powerful Zhao Ji was, so she could only nod with a smile. Zhao Ji also sat down with satisfaction.

Next, the auction continued. One precious item after another appeared. There were High Rank Demon Cores and many good medicinal herbs, but Xiao Yang no longer paid attention to them.

What he was thinking about now was to obtain his two hundred Marrow Pills as soon as possible so that he could break through as soon as possible.

"Two hundred Marrow Pill. If I use them well, it will be easy to break through to the Level Eight. It won't be impossible to break through to the Level Nine. As long as I break through to the Level Nine, I will be the top existence among the ordinary disciples of the Pure Yang Sect. It won't be a problem for me to become an elite."

With a flash of thought, Xiao Yang's face once again revealed a smile. He knew that as long as he became an elite, Loong Fei and Wang Feng would not be anything.

At the same time, he could also obtain a lot of resources. This would allow him to improve even faster.

"Next, let's invite the fifteenth item for auction."

Bai Ling, who was on the grandstand, said again. After that, a palm-sized black stone was taken out by Bai Ling.

When they saw this stone, everyone in the auction hall was stunned. They clearly did not know what this stone was. However, Xiao Yang's eyes narrowed at this moment!

At the same time, the Reincarnation Jade in his mind started to buzz. This made Xiao Yang immediately recognize it. This was a piece of Spirit Stone!

"Spirit Stone! In this world with sparse Spiritual Qi, there is actually a Spirit Stone! Although this Spirit Stone is the lowest grade, and it is not even complete, just a piece of Spirit Stone, it is still extremely beneficial to me!"

As this thought flashed across his mind, Xiao Yang became a little excited. He knew that compared to the pill, the Spiritual Qi was the most superior cultivation resource!

The Spiritual Qi was the essence of the heaven and earth. It gathered all the spirits of the world. Absorbing a little of it could allow one's body to develop all kinds of potential. It could even increase one's potential. However, one had to be strong enough to absorb the Spiritual Qi. According to the realm of this world, one had to at least reach the realm above the Genuine Qi Stage to be able to absorb it slightly.

However, Xiao Yang was different. He had the Reincarnation Jade. The Reincarnation Jade could absorb blood energy and purify the Spiritual Qi. Naturally, the Spiritual Qi that others could not use could be used by him. This thing was more useful than any pill to him!

"Hehe, this thing is very mysterious."

Everyone was stunned. Bai Ling, who was on the spectator stand, also smiled awkwardly and said, "This thing was found by an elder of our Treasure Gathering Commerce. This elder only found that this stone was extremely hard. Even Earth Level weapons could not cut it, and there was not even a scratch on it."

"Does that mean that this palm-sized stone only has one characteristic of being hard?"

An elder of the auction house said indifferently. This made Bai Ling even more embarrassed. In the next moment, she said seriously, "This thing indeed has only one characteristic of being extremely hard. However, everything has its secrets. Our Treasure Gathering Commerce definitely has some secrets. It's just that we can't find it, so we brought it here to auction. If there is a guest who knows what this thing is, then they will definitely not lose out. Even if they don't know what this thing is, they can use it as a concealed weapon. After all, this thing is extremely hard. It can be used to attack without any resistance."

When these words came out, everyone in the auction house revealed a strange smile. They were all experts, so they naturally knew that such a palm-sized stone was not worth much.

Even if it had such a tough characteristic, who would use such a stone as a hidden weapon? It was too eye-catching. As for whether this stone had a secret or not, no one knew, but everyone knew that even if it did, they would definitely not be able to crack it.

Even the experts of the Treasure Gathering Merchant Guild could not crack the secret, so how could they crack it?

"Alright! None of the experts here know anything about it! This is great! It would be better if no one knew anything about it! Only then can I get this Spirit Stone at the lowest price!"

Xiao Yang sensed the atmosphere in the hall and thought to himself, he knew that this was really a chance for him.

At the same time, Bai Ling's face was also slightly red. She really didn't want to sell this thing, but since it was an order from above, she could only bite the bullet and sell it.

"Mysterious Stone, starting price is three Marrow Pills, and each increase must be no less than one Marrow Pill. Who is willing to try their luck and crack the secret?"

The hall was silent.

Bai Ling's face became even redder, but the hall was still silent. Those who came here were all experts, and what they were chasing after were naturally things that were valuable. They naturally wouldn't do something that was worthless and difficult to test their luck on.

Xiao Yang had been observing the atmosphere in the hall and nodding his head secretly. This was the most satisfying situation for him. He knew that if he spent some time, he would be able to buy this Spirit Stone at an extremely low price.

After waiting for a while, there was still no voice calling out a price. This made Bai Ling awkwardly cough twice and said with a bitter smile, "It seems that all of you are not interested in this item. In that case, we will take back this auction item for now."

As she spoke, Bai Ling waved her hand and a young man immediately walked over from behind the stands.

"It's time."

Xiao Yang's eyes flashed as he said with a faint smile, "Hehe, four Marrow Pills."

As soon as he said this, everyone in the hall was stunned. Bai Ling, who was on the stands, also looked at Xiao Yang with a strange light in her eyes. "Good! This guest bids four Marrow Pills! Is there anyone else who wants to bid?"

The hall was silent. Everyone looked at Xiao Yang. Facing everyone's gaze, Xiao Yang smiled and said, "Hehe, Miss Bai Ling is so beautiful. Every move you make is in line with my heart. If you really want to bid, then I can just add one more Marrow Pill. I can even add a hundred pills. As long as Miss Bai Ling gives me a chance to talk to you alone, I will be able to get intimate with you."

As soon as he said that, Bai Ling, who was on the stands, smiled lightly. "Young Master is too polite. Since you are able to come here, you are a VIP of our Treasure Gathering Trading Company. If you want to talk to me alone about martial arts and martial skills, then I will gladly accept it."

"Alright."

Xiao Yang smiled and said, "Then I'll add six Marrow Pills to make it ten pills in total. Consider it my thanks to Miss Bai Ling for giving me this opportunity."

The eyes of the people in the venue flashed, and many of them revealed looks of disdain.

They were all smart people, so they could naturally see that Xiao Yang had taken a fancy to Bai Ling. He had purposely bid to help Bai Ling, but his real intention was to get close to Bai Ling. Naturally, they all treated Xiao Yang as a playboy from some big family.

Sensing the contempt of these people, Xiao Yang was secretly happy in his heart. This was exactly the effect he wanted. It was better to make people think that he was a playboy than a genius. Only then would he be able to obtain the Spirit Stone.

"Haha, alright, then this mysterious stone will belong to..."

"Wait, I'll bid twenty."

Suddenly, just as Bai Ling was about to settle this matter, a lazy voice sounded out. This caused everyone in the venue to turn their gazes towards a handsome young man in a white robe.

"Dominating Martial Sect, Zhang Yang!"

"It's actually him? This is a famous playboy. This is interesting. Two playboys fighting over a girl's heart, tsk tsk."

The low discussions sounded out, and Xiao Yang's heart turned cold. He did not expect that a true playboy would come to steal his limelight at such a crucial moment.

Xiao Yang turned his gaze to Zhang Yang, but Zhang Yang just smiled at him, his eyes revealing a strong provocation.

"It seems like he doesn't know the value of this treasure at all. He's just trying to gain some attention."

Seeing Zhang Yang's gaze, Xiao Yang sneered in his heart, but he still maintained a calm smile on his face. "So that's how it is. Brother Zhang also wants to kiss Miss Bai Fang Ze."
