From Princess in the Cold Palace to Empress in Heaven

In an instant, the whispering stopped and the meeting room became quiet.

Then, everyone looked towards the source of the sound, and found it was in a private room on the top floor.

This price...who is so arrogant!

The auctioneer was shocked and showed a look of joy.

One thousand high-quality spirit stones are enough to cover the income of the venue for nearly half a year!

"A distinguished guest has offered a thousand high-quality spirit stones. Is there anyone who would follow up?"

the auctioneer shouted.

There was silence.

If it is a real magic weapon of the Great Sage, they cannot afford it.

If it's just a rusty sword of unknown use, it's not worth spending so much money on it.

After a moment, no one followed.

"One thousand high-grade spirit stones at a time!"

"One thousand high-quality spirit stones twice..."

The auctioneer's face was all smiles. It was already a pleasant surprise that the item was sold at the auction, and it was not surprising that no one bid higher.

At this time, a voice came from private room number two on the top floor.

"Eleven hundred!"

Wow!

Everyone was in an uproar!

Someone actually followed up!

There are so many fools these days!

The smile on the auctioneer's face grew wider.

In private room number one.

Xiao Minghuang frowned slightly. This rusty sword was obviously not very attractive, but someone was actually competing with her for it.

Just now, when Rusty Sword appeared, her treasure-hunting compass sensed something.

The golden light clearly told her that this was a great opportunity and she had to seize it at all costs.

I thought I could easily get a bargain, but unexpectedly there were twists and turns.

"Princess, the voice of the person bidding against us seems to be Li Gaoyang!"

Lin Wanqiu thought for a moment and suddenly said.

After this reminder, Xiao Minghuang also felt that the voice was very familiar.

Xu Xiuer's face changed slightly, and she said worriedly, "Could it be that he guessed that we would return to the auction, so he followed us?"

"Never mind him, I will get this rusty sword."

Xiao Minghuang said in a deep voice.

She will never let go of this golden opportunity!

"Twelve hundred!"

In the private room No. 2.

Li Gaoyang continued to bid with a smile on his face.

"One thousand and three!"

He knew that it was Xu Xiu'er and her group who were bidding against her, but he still planned to buy the item and give it for free to the female monk who had just spoken to him.

His purpose was not to embarrass them, but to let them know that he can give them for free something that you cannot get on your own.

It's just to let them see their strength.

"Women... always admire the strong!"

Li Gaoyang raised the corner of his mouth. He believed that the female monk who had just spoken to him would definitely be impressed by his financial resources and strength!

"Eight thousand high-quality spirit stones!"

But in just a short while, the price of the rusty sword had been raised to eight thousand high-quality spirit stones, a price that was almost close to Xiao Minghuang's limit.

If she hadn't just spent a lot of elixirs and spirit stones in seclusion, she should have had a lot of energy left.

Seeing that her storage bag was empty, Lin Wanqiu immediately took out her own private money.

But in her storage bag, there were only one thousand high-quality spirit stones.

"Princess, I also have a thousand spirit stones..."

Xu Xiuer took out a storage bag and whispered, "This rusty sword may just be a completely decayed sword embryo. It is not worth so many spirit stones at all."

Hearing this, Xiao Minghuang's expression stabilized. She knew very well that if it was really as it appeared, even if this rusty sword was really a decayed holy treasure embryo, it would be worth no more than five or six thousand spirit stones.

But she must fight for this golden opportunity.

"Eight thousand one hundred!"

At the booth, the auctioneer was almost smiling like a flower.

Their small auction has never achieved such a high price!

The monks present were dumbfounded and filled with envy and jealousy.

"These two bosses are so rich!"

"More than 8,000 high-quality spirit stones. I can never earn that many spirit stones in my lifetime!"

"Hehe, the money that you can't earn in a lifetime may only be a day's living expenses for the young master."

In the private room No. 2.

Li Gaoyang's face showed a hint of anger, and he snorted, "These women have strong family backgrounds!"

Even though he was a disciple of the Saint King, taking out nearly ten thousand high-quality spirit stones at once almost emptied his storage bag.

You know, with so many spirit stones, you can almost buy a holy treasure!

but.

Things have come to this, if he gives up, wouldn't that be admitting that he is inferior to these women?

How can I raise my head in front of them in the future?

Li Gaoyang gnashed his teeth and shouted:

"Ten thousand high-grade spiritual stones!"

272. Conflict and threats

hiss!

Everyone was shocked!

It's just a rusty sword blank, is it worth such a crazy price?

Ten thousand high-quality spirit stones are enough to buy a real holy treasure!

“This…this…this…”

The auctioneer gasped and said this word three times in a row, but he didn't know what to say next.

In private room number one.

Xiao Minghuang sighed softly. Her financial resources were no longer enough to support her to bid again.

Although she still has some precious magic weapons or skills that can be converted into a high price, it is not worth taking the risk.

"if I get it I am lucky, but if not, it is fate."

At the meeting, no one was heard asking for more price increases.

Li Gaoyang breathed a sigh of relief. If he continued to raise the price, he might not be able to come up with more spirit stones.

Moreover, among these ten thousand spirit stones alone, some were temporarily stored with him by the Holy Land and did not completely belong to him.

"Alas! We must find a way to fill this hole."

Li Gaoyang raised his eyelids and thought of the beautiful face of the female monk just now, and a surge of evil fire suddenly arose in his heart for no reason.

"Hehe! I hope you won't let me down..."

At the booth, the auctioneer almost laughed out loud. He didn't even bother to ask the price as usual, fearing that the buyer would go back on his word, and he just banged the hammer down!

"Congratulations to this distinguished guest. You have won today's final lot - the Rusted Sword from the Great Sage's Tomb!"

The auctioneer's excited voice rang out.

"Thank you all for attending tonight's..."

After the auction ended, Xiao Minghuang and others stood up and walked out the door.

As soon as I went out, a handsome face appeared in front of me.

It was Li Gaoyang.

How could Xiao Minghuang not know that the other party had just fought with her for the rusty sword? She was too lazy to pay attention to him at this moment. She wanted to bypass and leave without even saying hello.

Li Gaoyang narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a gentle smile, and said softly: "Fairy, I am honored!"

As he said that, he actually stretched out his right hand and blocked Xiao Minghuang's way.

His attitude was clearly malicious.

Xiao Minghuang frowned. She didn't like the feeling of being blocked by others. "What's the matter?"

"Don't worry, fairy. I have no ill intentions. I just want to make friends with you!"

"Not interested in."

Xiao Minghuang said impatiently.

Li Gaoyang's face froze for a moment, then returned to normal, and he said in a gentle voice, "Fairy, don't be in a hurry to leave. I know you like the final auction item, so I bought it and gave it to you. Please don't refuse!"

As he spoke, he signaled to the maid beside him to hand over the prepared storage bag.

"you......"

Xu Xiuer looked at Li Gaoyang angrily. She didn't expect this man to be so shameless.

Is this intended to humiliate them?

"I don't need your stuff, please get out of the way!"

Xiao Minghuang said indifferently.

"Fairy, please listen to my explanation first..."

"roll!"

Before Li Gaoyang could finish his words, Xiao Minghuang interrupted him without hesitation.

His face darkened.

But soon, he suppressed his anger and said with a smile: "Since this fairy thinks it is not gorgeous enough, I have a few other magic weapons in my cave, and I would like to invite the fairy to come and see them!"

There was a strong threat in his words.

“I don’t want to repeat the same thing a second time.”

Xiao Minghuang's expression turned cold, with a cold light flashing in his eyes. A sharp sword intent emanated from his body and spread out.

As soon as this breath came out, the whole hall suddenly became quiet.

Countless people's eyes gathered together.

"What a powerful sword intent!"

"Which academy is this disciple from?"

"That male cultivator seems to be Li Gaoyang from Ziwei Sect?"
