After I left the sect, the entire sect knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

Chapter 105 I Really Do What I Say

--ah!

Tao Zhizhi let out a heart-wrenching scream because her kneecap was shattered.

"Are you satisfied now? You really can't walk anymore." Lin Yan's expression was indifferent, and her tone was as calm as an autumn lake, without a ripple, as if what she had just done was nothing more than a trivial matter.

She did hit relatively lightly, only shattering the kneecap. You see, in this world of cultivation, as long as a person has a breath left, bone regeneration is hardly a difficult thing.

After hitting me, she even "kindly" reminded me: "Don't use this method on me again next time, because I really mean it."

After doing all this, she faced the crowd with an open and honest gaze: "You all saw and heard it with your own eyes and ears. It wasn't me who insisted on breaking her leg. She begged for it herself. Perhaps she just wanted to be unable to walk and have someone carry her and take care of her."

"..."

Everyone else fell silent, trembling with fear. Even the auctioneer on stage gave a warning look when someone tried to intervene, telling them not to get involved.

Everyone's out here to earn spirit stones, so self-preservation is the most important thing.

Lin Yan then turned her gaze to the two disciples: "You said earlier that the people of Xuantian Sect wouldn't let me go, is that right?"

"What do you want? I am the personal disciple of the Xuantian Sect's leader. If you touch me, I will make sure you die without a burial place! Besides, this is an auction house. Do you dare to silence me in front of so many people?"

She shook her head slightly, feigning fear on her face, but her voice carried a hint of mockery.

"How dare I, a mere rogue cultivator, oppose a sect? My life is so miserable; I am clearly the victim, yet now it's all my fault. Having offended you all, my future days will be filled with misery and unrest. Gentlemen, if I encounter any misfortune in the future, it will surely be the work of the Xuantian Sect!"

"..."

What a fierce victim! He even broke someone else's leg!
Tao Zhizhi was in so much pain that she was almost fainting. The two Xuantian Sect disciples fed her more pills to relieve the pain before carrying her out of the hall.

As the auction continued, everyone's attention gradually returned to the bidding.

Mo Yu glanced at her from afar, but ultimately didn't go to say anything. He then led his servants back up to the second floor.

Lin Yan, however, remained calm and composed, as if nothing had happened, and returned to her seat.

"Fellow Daoist, that male cultivator you were with just now seems to have a good relationship with you. He gave you 20 high-grade spirit stones for free. If someone treated me like that, I would be so happy." Bai Ya said, her face showing longing.

"What are you thinking? Free things are often the most expensive."

"Oh, you're right. I was just daydreaming, but I know exactly what I'm doing."

Bai Ya's momentary lapse lasted only three seconds before she resumed focusing on her auction items.

The auction for the pill formula continued, and the final price was 130,000 high-grade spirit stones. A new item was presented, and the auctioneer's voice rang out again: "The next item is an eagle egg."

Monsters are ferocious, but if they are trained and bound together from cubs, they can be tamed into powerful battle pets.

If she didn't already have two babies at home, she would have considered bidding on it.

She remained at the auction to see what the mysterious item was. Auction houses create hype to attract people, and if the item isn't significant enough, it can damage their reputation.

Auction houses don't do things like making a quick, one-off sale. So everyone was really looking forward to seeing what kind of item deserved the "mystery item" hype and wouldn't be announced beforehand. They waited and waited, and finally, it was over…

"Next up is the most anticipated mystery item!" As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, a huge box-like object covered with a red cloth was brought in.

As the auctioneer lifted the red cloth, everyone held their breath.

It was a huge, square box made of glass, like a giant fish tank. Inside was a mermaid.

The mermaid was quietly curled up in the glass box, her graceful figure exuding endless sorrow. She had a head of thick, light blue hair like seaweed, which fell smoothly to her sides, swaying gently in the water.

The mermaid's face was exquisitely beautiful, her fair skin as smooth and lustrous as mutton fat jade, and her pupils like deep blue sapphires, dazzling and captivating. One glance at those eyes was enough to draw you in irresistibly.

Its lower body, with its colorful tail, was adorned with scales that resembled meticulously crafted works of art. The tail now hung limply, devoid of its former vitality.

Mermaids are made of rare treasures from head to toe, especially their pearls, which are said to be able to withstand the power of heavenly lightning.

However, not every merman has a merman pearl; only mermen with high cultivation levels possess one.

Merfolk rarely appear in the sea, and with various sea monsters lurking there, capturing them is extremely difficult. Even Nascent Soul cultivators who venture into dangerous waters may not return unscathed.

The fact that this merman was captured and brought to the auction suggests that he voluntarily came ashore. Mermen without merman pearls are much weaker and easier to deal with once they come ashore.

Beside her, Bai Ya was mesmerized by the mermaid's beauty and couldn't help but say, "So beautiful, but she's so pitiful, locked up in a tiny glass box..."

Lin Yan raised an eyebrow, tapped her head, and used her spiritual power to block Bai Ya's view. "Don't look at that mermaid, or you'll be bewitched."

Bai Ya snapped out of her daze, looking bewildered: "I felt my mind go blank for a moment, like, like my great-great-great-grandfather came to find me!"

Lin Yan withdrew her spiritual power and reminded her again: "If you stare less at the stage, you won't be mesmerized!"

How could such beautiful creatures be completely without any ability to protect themselves? The merfolk's innate abilities are similar to the hallucinogenic flowers of the Demon Forest, both using their dazzling and alluring appearances to lower people's guard.

With a wave of his hand, the auctioneer covered the box again with the red cloth, completely concealing it. "Given the unique abilities of the merfolk, in order to ensure the smooth running of the auction, the red cloth will be covered again after the exhibition."

On the second floor, some people couldn't wait any longer, and one of them shouted impatiently, "Stop dawdling and tell us the bottom price!"

"The starting price for the merman auction is 500,000 high-grade spirit stones, and each bid must be at least 10,000 high-grade spirit stones!"

The auctioneer had barely finished speaking when someone eagerly bid 600,000 high-grade spirit stones.

Good heavens, these mermaids are really expensive! I wonder who caught them. I'm so envious! Why didn't I have such a good thing happen to me? Now I wouldn't have to worry about spirit stones.

If I could, I'd really like to talk to that mermaid and ask her if she has any brothers or sisters.

Bai Ya glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and saw Fellow Daoist Lin staring at the stage. She asked in surprise, "Fellow Daoist Lin, are you also captivated?"

That shouldn't be the case. They've covered it with a red cloth, how can they still bewitch people?
"No, I'm thinking about how to earn spirit stones faster."

Thank you so much for the monthly tickets! I'm so touched! Thank you all for the recommendation votes, I'm very grateful!
