Cultivating Immortality Starts with Rubbing a Computer

Chapter 71 Auction
"Three hundred and ten!"

"Three hundred and twenty!"

"Three hundred and thirty!"

The price increase process is slow and not as fast as before.

Fang Jun estimated in his mind and shouted, "Four hundred!"

After these words were spoken, the auction hall fell silent for a moment.

But then a clear female voice shouted, "Four hundred and fifty!"

There was an uproar in the venue, as if no one had expected the price to be so high.

Fang Jun looked at the person who was bidding the price, and the person who was bidding the price also looked over at him. She was a female cultivator in her twenties with a beautiful appearance.

She transmitted a message, "Fellow Daoist, the Guixin Fruit is a substandard product among the three foundation-building herbs. Four hundred and fifty low-grade spirit stones are already expensive enough."

"You know, one foundation-building pill only costs three thousand low-grade spirit stones."

Fang Jun sneered. He knew what the female cultivator said was right, but—

He said slowly: "Five hundred!"

The venue became lively again, as if there was something interesting to watch.

The female cultivator was furious: "Fellow Daoist, why are you so foolish! We can't make medicine or practice on the boat. The Guixin Fruit can be obtained anytime after crossing the boundary. Why are you bidding against me?"

Fang Jun replied calmly, "Fellow Daoist, you already said you can get it anytime, so why bother bidding against me? You've just made me lose a hundred low-grade spirit stones for nothing."

"I haven't asked you for compensation yet, but you're asking me now, isn't it?"

On the Ding Sanliu passenger ship, the strongest person is only a first-level Foundation Establishment cultivator stationed on the ship.

Therefore, Fang Jun had very few concerns.

Before the female cultivator could reply, a male cultivator beside her sent a message: "A mere casual cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining, dares to make Qingqing angry."

"I don't know where you got those five hundred low-grade spirit stones."

"But I want to tell you that there's a difference between being able to possess a spirit stone and owning it for a long time."

Fang Jun said with interest: "You are threatening me."

Fang Jun stood up and shouted, "Is there a rule in the auction that allows the auctioneer to threaten others and force them to withdraw from the competition?"

After these words were spoken, the venue became even more lively.

My boring sailing life finally had some fun again.

The auctioneer on the stage said loudly, "Of course there's no such rule. If there were such a rule, then why would we hold an auction? We might as well become a robbery cultivator."

The threat of auction certainly cannot be absent.

But threats are always an unspoken rule. After all, making them public means that the interests of the organizer will be damaged obviously.

How can the organizers make this rule clear?
The male cultivator who had threatened angrily said, "What do you want to do?"

Fang Jun ignored him, pointed at the male cultivator, and said directly to the auctioneer: "It was this cultivator who threatened me and told me not to participate in the auction."

“As the organizer, how do you plan to deal with this?”

The venue became even more noisy.

"I recognize this wandering cultivator. He seems to often hang out with Chu Ning, the manager of the Changning Chamber of Commerce."

"That means he's not without background."

"Haha, no matter how big his background is, it can never be bigger than the one on the other side. The one on the other side is He Yanghui. Although he is only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, he is a child of Foundation Establishment. How could a small manager of Changning Chamber of Commerce dare to stand out?"

"Chu Ning really doesn't dare to speak out, but the organizers must do so in this situation. Otherwise, where will the public's credibility be from now on?"

"In other words, that independent cultivator took advantage of the terrain?"

"It's just a momentary act of loyalty, but he'll regret it later."

The auctioneer stared at He Yanghui and asked, "Is this true?"

He Yanghui, of course, denied it and angrily shouted at Fang Jun, "No! He's lying!"

The auctioneer turned to Fang Jun and asked, "Do you have any other evidence?"

Fang Jun shook his head: "No."

There's no evidence of telepathic communication. Even if there were some video or audio recording, they could be dismissed as fabricated by magic and thus counted as nothing.

The auctioneer said, "How about this? After crossing the boundary barrier, you can go to the Huguang Chamber of Commerce and rest for a while."

"So the auction proceeds normally."

The auctioneer's handling of the matter was completely fair.

Hu Guang Chamber of Commerce is the organizer of this auction, and the name Hu Guang suggests that it has a vague connection with Jindan cultivators.

Theoretically, as long as you have their protection, you will be safe.

Fang Jun said, "Yes."

At this time, He Yanghui's spiritual consciousness transmitted a voice: "Well, you actually embarrassed me! You can forget about getting this Guixin Fruit."

The female cultivator named Qingqing immediately shouted, "Six hundred pieces!"

At this moment, Chu Ning's spiritual consciousness transmitted a message: "Fellow Daoist Li, please stop bidding so high for the Guixin Fruit. I still have one in stock and can sell it to you at the normal market price."

Fang Jun chuckled and said to He Yanghui, "Little guy, you're lucky."

He Yanghui immediately became angry and started talking a lot of trash.

However, Fang Jun directly chose not to accept He Yanghui's message, making all his words in vain.

It made him even more angry and his face turned red.

The auctioneer was naturally able to see the whole situation, but he didn't say much. He just said, "Six hundred low-grade spirit stones! Is there a higher price? Otherwise, the highest bidder wins."

Six hundred low-grade spirit stones are almost twice the market price.

How could there be such a thing as a sucker?

Therefore, the Guixin Fruit fell into the hands of a female cultivator named Qingqing.

She spoke and laughed, looking at Fang Jun provocatively.

When Fang Jun saw this scene, he felt sorry for He Yanghui, but then he thought that this was He Yanghui's choice.

I can only say that he deserved it.

That shred of sympathy disappeared in an instant.

At the following auction, various treasures will be on display.

But none of them were what Fang Jun urgently needed, so he didn't take action.

However, Qingqing did make quite a few moves.

The three foundation-building medicines such as the red dragon fruit were also used and successfully obtained.

But judging by the way He Yanghui is acting so attentive, it's probably not Qingqing who is paying for it.

……

After the auction, in a Class B suite.

He Yanghui, lying on the bed, became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it, and the more unhappy he felt about what happened at the auction.

Qingqing, happily counting the harvested supplies, said with a sweet smile, "Since Brother Hui is unhappy, then go deal with that wandering cultivator. Just like before."

He Yanghui put his arm around Qingqing's waist and said angrily, "I'd like to do that, but this is Master Youran's territory. I can't deny Master Youran his respect."

Having said that, in fact, passenger ships have their own rules.

One of the rules is not to kill.

And these are the rules that are guarded by the foundation-building.

He Yanghui's words were just bragging to save face.

Qingqing pinched the flesh at the base of He Yanghui's thigh and said, "You can't kill him. But a lesson will be enough, right?"

"With Brother Hui's strength at the sixth level of Qi Refining, it shouldn't be difficult for him to teach a casual cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining a lesson."

He Yanghui's eyes lit up, and he was about to stand up: "You're right, I'll go teach him a lesson right now."

Qingqing pulled He Yanghui back and said, "Don't worry, there's still plenty of time on the boat. Let's have some fun first."
