Chapter 321 - Picking Up a Bargain

Lin Xuan’s move was undoubtedly a slap in the face to Wu Shaoyu and furthermore, to the entire Dan King Hall!

Wu Shaoyu could not tolerate this.

“Young master, it’s private room number 25,” said the elder in gray behind him.

“Daring to compete with me?

Truly seeking death!” Wu Shaoyu sneered coldly, “Eighty thousand Spirit Stones!”

“Eighty thousand?” The crowd gasped, the bid had jumped by twenty thousand all of a sudden—they truly didn’t treat Mid Grade Spirit Stones like money.

Hearing the envious voices of the crowd, Wu Shaoyu felt even better.

Lin Xuan, however, furrowed his brows; he could tell that the person who was bidding didn’t actually want the material but was doing it for the sake of face.

Nevertheless, this material was very important to him, so he wasn’t going to give face to anyone.

“One hundred thousand!” Lin Xuan said in a deep voice.

The scene quieted down for a moment, as no one expected this item of unknown purpose to be auctioned for one hundred thousand Mid Grade Spirit Stones!

“One hundred…”

“Young master, there’s another auction in Qingyang City in five days, we can’t keep wasting Spirit Stones like this!” the elder in gray reminded.

Wu Shaoyu’s face turned dark on the spot, his body trembling slightly as his gaze fixed on the second floor’s room number 25 across from him.

The auction house was circular and had three levels.

Lin Xuan was on the second level in the east, while Wu Shaoyu was on the third level in the west, positioned opposite each other.

However, the security measures for the private rooms were excellent, making it so that not only could you not see inside, but Soul Power couldn’t probe in either.

“Number 25, I’ve remembered you!” Wu Shaoyu said with a sinister tone, “Once the auction is over, I’ll make sure you know what regret means!”

Seeing that Wu Shaoyu didn’t bid again, the crowd was slightly stunned—it didn’t seem to fit his reputation as the Little Tyrant.

“One hundred thousand Spirit Stones, congratulations to bidder number 25 for obtaining the Washing Flowing Gauze!” the lady in the purple robe smiled.

After hearing this, Lin Xuan finally relaxed, but he was a bit dissatisfied: “To spend so many extra Spirit Stones, how infuriating!”

The Lord of Wine laughed in annoyance: “You should be content, kid.

This item is worth well over a million—you’ve got yourself a huge bargain by purchasing it for one hundred thousand!”

“Heh heh,” Lin Xuan chuckled dryly, rubbing his chin, “Maybe I won’t have to spend even a single Spirit Stone.”

“He wants Fourth-grade Elixir Pills, probably for an urgent need.

Perhaps I should meet this employer.”

Lin Xuan did not participate in the auction that followed.

However, there was a Xuan-grade Advanced Treasure Sword that was exceptionally sharp later on.

Lin Xuan had few Spirit Stones and could only watch.

Two hours later, the auction concluded.

People started to leave, while Wu Shaoyu quickly walked towards private room number 25 with the elder in gray.

This motion caught the attention of many, and numerous martial artists looked sideways, with some shaking their heads and sighing.

Ah, looking at how furious Wu Shaoyu is, it seems the owner of room number 25 is in for some bad luck.

“Just as I thought, the Little Tyrant won’t take this lying down!”

“It’s none of our business, let’s hurry on!”

Lin Xuan opened the door and walked outside; he was going to settle the account backstage.

However, before he went far, someone blocked his path.

“Kid, you’ve got guts, daring to bid against me.

Do you know who I am?” Wu Shaoyu said with an unpleasant expression, seeing Lin Xuan so young and with such low cultivation, he had not a single worry in his heart.

Other martial artists who were passing by were also surprised, they too did not expect the person who had contested Wu Shaoyu to appear so delicate and frail.

“Hand over what you won at the auction to me and give me a hundred thousand Spirit Stones as compensation.

Maybe then I’ll consider sparing you,” Wu Shaoyu said, arrogantly lifting his chin, “Otherwise, I have many ways to make your life miserable!”

“This is an auction, he who pays the highest price wins.

If you want to throw a young master’s tantrum, you’ve got the wrong person!” Lin Xuan’s face darkened, his tone anything but courteous.

“You…

you’re courting death!” Wu Shaoyu was enraged, as no one had ever dared to talk back to him like that.

“Get out here, I’m going to kill you today!” he said, reaching for Lin Xuan, trying to drag him out.

“Hmph!” Lin Xuan snorted coldly, his body erupting with silver electric brilliance, like lightning in the night sky.

The martial artists around were surprised, seemingly unable to believe someone dared to resist Young Master Wu.

Did he not fear retaliation from Dan King Hall?

“Both of you, please calm down!” A shadow swiftly descended, “No fighting is allowed here, I hope you both can restrain yourselves.”

The one who intervened was none other than the purple-robed beauty.

At this moment, her presence was filled with the powerful aura of Melt Spirit Realm Martial Artists, and her expression was somewhat solemn.

The silver electric brilliance on Lin Xuan’s body flashed past and quickly dissipated.

He nodded and headed towards the backstage.

Wu Shaoyu’s face twisted with ferocity, and he glared hatefully at Lin Xuan, “I don’t believe you won’t come out.

As soon as you do, it will be the end of you!”

After speaking, he walked outside with the grey-clothed elder.

The purple-robed beauty let out a sigh of relief.

If Wu Shaoyu really went mad and started a fight, she would indeed be in a difficult position.

“How could he not take Young Master Wu seriously?

Who exactly is that man?” The purple-robed beauty displayed a curious expression.

“Young Master, the item you wish to collect is here, please follow me.”

The purple-robed beauty caught up with Lin Xuan.

“Thank you,” Lin Xuan said with composure.

He inquired, “May I ask where the employer who put the Washing Flowing Gauze up for consignment is?

I would like to meet with him.”

“Oh?

Do you have a Fourth-grade Elixir?” The purple-robed beauty was surprised.

“I don’t have an Elixir, but there might be other methods to try,” Lin Xuan said with a smile.

“You’re not planning to rob them, are you?”

“Do I really look that much like a bad guy?” Lin Xuan gave a wry smile.

“Alright, I’ll make the arrangements for you,” the purple-robed beauty quickened her pace.

Before long, Lin Xuan was led into an elegant room.

Inside, a frail figure waited with her head down, incessantly wringing her fingers, looking very anxious.

“Are you the owner of the Washing Flowing Gauze?” Lin Xuan asked.

“Do you have a Fourth-grade Elixir?” The figure raised her head.

“Eh, it’s you!” Both parties were stunned.

The frail figure was none other than Yin Qingyi, an old acquaintance of Lin Xuan’s from his time at the Yunzhou Xuantian Sect.

This young lady had always been timid and weak-looking, and she seemed unchanged at the moment.

“Brother Lin, what are you doing here?” Yin Qingyi asked softly.

“Actually, I was about to ask you the same thing,” Lin Xuan smiled.

“Do you really need a Fourth-grade Elixir?”

“Mhm!” Yin Qingyi nodded vigorously.

“My grandfather needs it.”

“Can you tell me more?” Lin Xuan said.

“My grandfather has been increasingly struggling with movement recently.

Someone looked at his condition and said that a Fourth-grade Elixir could cure his illness.”

“I don’t have a Fourth-grade Elixir, but could you let me meet your grandfather?

Maybe I can help,” Lin Xuan offered.

“Okay, Brother Lin, follow me,” Yin Qingyi led the way.

Outside, the purple-robed woman waited.

Lin Xuan took out 100,000 Spirit Stones: “After deducting the handling fee, give the rest to her.”

“No need, Brother Lin,” Yin Qingyi said in a low voice.

“Take it,” Lin Xuan insisted.

“I can’t just take your things for nothing.”

Subsequently, the two set out.

As they nearly reached the exit, Lin Xuan furrowed his brow; he sensed that Wu Shaoyu was still lingering outside, waiting.

“This guy, he’s like a bad penny!” A chill appeared on Lin Xuan’s face.

“Don’t mind him.

You’ve got the Washing Flowing Gauze, right?

I’ll teach you how to use it!” Lord of Wine said with a laugh.
