Chapter 136 - Sinister Person
Chapter 138 of "The Unparalleled Sword Emperor" commences with: Just now, Zhao Mao had raised the price to 140,000 spiritual stones, and now it... Donât miss the next part!
Just now, Zhao Mao had raised the price to 140,000 spiritual stones, and now it was Lin Baiâs turn to bid.
â240,000 spiritual stones.â
Lin Bai directly made the hearty offer.
Lin Bai had more than fifty million spiritual stones in his storage bag; this little over two hundred thousand was nothing to him, which he didnât care about at all.
âBrother Lin Bai, why donât we just let it go?â Bai Zhiyuan didnât want Lin Bai to waste money, considering that the highest value of this Purple Gold Phoenix Bracelet was just 150,000 spiritual stones.
Now Lin Bai had already bid 240,000 spiritual stones; it wasnât worth it to continue competing.
âYou like it, donât you?
Iâll buy it for you.â Lin Bai said with a smile.
âBut itâs too expensive, itâs not worth it.
I just thought the bracelet was pretty, so I wanted to buy it.
But now, the price has already exceeded the original value of the spiritual tool.
Itâs not worth it to bid any higher.â
Bai Zhiyuan knew very well that this Purple Gold Phoenix Bracelet wasnât worth over two hundred thousand spiritual stones anymore.
âAre you sure you donât want it anymore?
You wonât regret it?â Lin Bai asked.
âI donât want it anymore.â Bai Zhiyuan said with a sweet smile: âActually, in my home, I can have as many of these bracelets as I want, hehe.â
Lin Bai smiled slightly.
Lin Bai had already noticed that Bai Zhiyuan came from an impressive background.
After all, Bai Zhiyuan was casually spending a Fourth-grade Spirit Weapon and Earth Grade 9 Cultivation Skill, which wasnât something an ordinary family or sect could afford.
Earth Grade 9 Cultivation Skills were treasures of the Four Major Sects.
âAlright then, since you donât want it, Iâm going to have some fun with this Zhao Mao.â Lin Bai smirked.
Su Xianmei stood on the high stage, looking at the laughter on Lin Baiâs face, wondering what tricks he was about to play.
âBrother Zhao Mao, itâs your turn.â Lin Bai said with a smile.
âAlright, alright, I bid 340,000 spiritual stones!â Zhao Mao announced arrogantly.
â440,000!â Lin Bai instantly followed up.
Upon hearing this number, Zhao Mao had a laugh in his heart: Haha, bid one more time, and I wonât raise the bid anymore.
Letâs see what you do then.
You donât have enough spiritual stones, so you will be the one who ends up looking foolish.
â540,000!â Zhao Mao shouted out while laughing.
Upon hearing this, Lin Bai thought, Hmm, that should do it.
With a mischievous grin on his face, Lin Bai casually sat next to Bai Zhiyuan, striking up a chat and having a tea with the Lord of White Sheep City.
âJust wait, I want to see what you will do when you canât come up with so many spiritual stones.â
âHeh, trying to compete with me, Iâm as cunning as a monkey.â
Zhao Mao was still giddy about his plan, unaware that Lin Bai had already decided not to bid any further.
After all, Lin Bai wasnât stupid.
If Bai Zhiyuan didnât want it, then he didnât want to buy this Purple Gold Phoenix Bracelet either.
âWhat happened?â
After Zhao Mao named his price, Lin Bai hadnât continued bidding for a long time.
âJunior Brother Lin Bai, why arenât you bidding any further?â Zhao Mao asked Lin Bai in a provoking manner, a triumphant smile on his face.
Zhao Mao was hoping Lin Bai would continue to bid.
Otherwise, if Zhao Mao bought this Third Grade Spiritual Weapon, especially a defensive one, he would be beaten to death by his father when he got home.
âAh, Senior Brother is indeed wealthy.
I am just a poor little Junior Brother and canât afford to bid any further.â Lin Bai said to Zhao Mao with a smirk.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Maoâs face turned green on the spot.
What?
Canât afford the price anymore?
So you were just spouting those arrogant words earlier, saying, âIâll add another hundred thousand each time!â
So, youâre just messing with me here?
âNo, no, no, Junior Brother.
Just shout out one more price, thatâs all,â Zhao Mao said with a laugh to Lin Bai.
âNo, no, no, Senior Brother.
I canât afford even one more spiritual stone.
I canât bid anymore,â Lin Bai replied, his face still full of a mischievous grin.
âJunior Brother, donât be like this, donât be like this.
How about we increase the bid by a thousand each time?â Zhao Mao unwillingly suggested.
Lin Bai decided to ignore Zhao Mao completely and started to drink his tea.
Bai Zhiyuan got up and laughed heartily, saying, âHa-ha, congratulations, my friend!
You bought a lower-grade third-rating defensive spiritual tool for five hundred and forty thousand spiritual stones.
Well worth it indeed, truly worth it!â
âHa-ha-ha!â
At this point, all the Warriors present regained their focus.
âHa-ha-ha, exactly, it was worth it!
Five hundred and forty thousand spiritual stones for such an amazing lower-grade third-rating defensive spiritual tool!
This gentleman truly stands out from the crowd!â
âYes, I could not buy a third-grade spiritual tool with five hundred and forty thousand spiritual stones.
At the most, I could buy a fourth-grade offensive spiritual tool.
Ah, such shame, such shame!â
All the warriors started pointing at Zhao Mao and laughing.
Zhao Mao, standing in his private room, watched the raucous laughter on the faces of the Warriors.
That laughter felt like they were laughing at a fool.
âThank you, Senior Brother Zhao MaoâŚâ the beautiful woman said happily.
âHeh, heh, worth it, worth it.â Zhao Mao had completely lost his mind, having no desire to pay attention to the beautiful woman.
He was now pondering over how he would explain this to his father when he got home!
âIf my father finds out that I bought a lower-grade third-rating defensive spiritual tool for five hundred and forty thousand spiritual stones, heâll skin me alive!â Zhao Mao shuddered, remembering what his father looked like when he was angry.
âLin Bai!â Zhao Mao gritted his teeth and glared at Lin Bai, his eyes seeming to spray flames.
In the private room labeled Heaven Character No.
âDoesnât this voice sound like Zhiyuanâs?â
In the private room labeled Heaven Character No.
9, a woman dressed in pristine white and veiled was speaking with a slightly furrowed brow.
Immediately, an old man with a stooped figure came to the window behind the elegant lady and looked towards the window of Yellow Character No.
He saw Bai Zhiyuan, hands on her hips, laughing uproariously towards the room labeled Heaven Character No.
âPrincess Chang, it really is the Ninth Princess.â This stooped old man spoke in a throaty voice to the elegant lady.
This elegant lady was none other than the First Princess of Shenwu Kingdom and ninth on the genius list, Bai Xiaoxiao!
Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaoxiao made her way to the window in small, graceful steps, looking at the wild young woman standing at the window of Yellow Character No.
She shook her head in annoyance, âSuch behavior!
Where is the royal dignity?
What is the difference between her and a country bumpkin?â
âZhiyuan, this time she sneaked out.
I didnât expect that we would meet her, Manager Fang, keep an eye on Zhiyuanâs whereabouts.
Bring her back to the Imperial Capital once this auction is over,â Bai Xiaoxiao directed.
âYes, Your Highness, Princess Chang,â Manager Fang responded.
Bai Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and said, âThis auction is nearing its end, isnât it?
It should almost be time for the Great Five Elements Skill.â
Bai Xiaoxiao had also received an invitation from the Treasure Pavilion and had come from far-off Imperial Capital to Cold Mountain City specifically for the remark in the invitation that a cultivation skill, the âGreat Five Elements Skillâ, was for sale.
In fact, not only Bai Xiaoxiao, but Li Yun from the Li Family in Guangling City, Shang Tian from the Canghai Yuntai Palace, and Xu Jiangsheng from the Xu Family of the Imperial Capital were all here for the same âGreat Five Elements Skillâ cultivation method.
