Chapter 300: I Want Them All
However, everyone could sense the dissatisfaction in the gloomy tone of the high-level cultivator in the private room regarding Wu Laoda’s actions.
This made the onlookers cast sympathetic glances towards Wu Laoda.
Offending a high-level cultivator meant he might not enjoy the fruits of his purchases.
Some cultivators, however, were unconcerned and speculated about Wu Laoda’s identity. To openly challenge a high-level cultivator, he must have matching strength.
Seeing that the cultivator in the private room did not raise another bid, Wu Laoda remained calm.
So what if he was a high-level cultivator? Had he ever seen a mountain of spiritual grains?
If he had, he wouldn’t bother competing with him.
"Is this person so high-profile really related to Ji Yang?"
In the private room, Ren Yuning couldn’t help but ask.
Elder Guan beside her also furrowed his brow slightly.
Indeed, Ji Yang had been hiding in Heaven Demon City for several days without a word. Even their Heaven Demon Sect couldn’t find any traces, indicating that this person was skilled at hiding.
This person didn’t seem to have any connection to Ji Yang at all.
"It doesn’t matter. We’ll know once we meet this person later."
For a moment, the three in the private room felt uncertain.
Upon hearing this, Ji Yang couldn’t help but clap in approval.
If the three thought in another direction, he felt there was still hope for him to reclaim his belongings.
“Congratulations to this fellow Daoist. Next, we will start the auction for the second Spiritual Plant Seed, with a starting price of five hundred spiritual stones!”
“One thousand spiritual stones!”
“One thousand five hundred spiritual stones!”
The crowd began to shout bids again.
This time, Wu Laoda didn’t wait for a suitable price; he simply raised his hand:
“Seven thousand spiritual stones!”
The previously eager bidders fell silent upon hearing this price.
Some cultivators wanted to dampen Wu Laoda’s spirit but were quickly advised by others nearby:
“Forget it, forget it! There are still eight seeds left!”
Hearing this, the others nodded in agreement.
Indeed, there were still eight Spiritual Plant Seeds left; they didn’t believe this person wouldn’t run out of spiritual stones.
The remaining ones would definitely be cheaper.
With no other cultivators bidding, Wu Laoda once again secured the second high-level Spiritual Plant Seed.
Listening to the chatter around him, Wu Laoda smiled slightly to himself.
A bunch of old-timers, had they seen a mountain of spiritual grains?
The Nascent Soul Stage host on stage seemed surprised by the outcome. However, even at this price, it was still above the base, and the host continued the auction without hesitation.
As expected, Wu Laoda collected the next six seeds without difficulty.
His starting price was also seven thousand spiritual stones.
During the bidding, although some attempted to raise the price, they were quickly crushed by Wu Laoda’s overwhelming strength.
Cultivators who initially planned to wait and buy the remaining spiritual plant seeds were left stunned.
In the blink of an eye, only two Spiritual Plant Seeds remained, while many cultivators had not secured any. This package of ten high-level spiritual plant seeds was clearly not something they could afford to miss out on.
Now, many cultivators regretted not bidding on the earlier seeds. Upon reflection, the previous seeds were not cheap either.
With this in mind, they shot angry glances at Wu Laoda, the Main Instigator.
If it weren’t for him, they might have been able to buy one seed!
But now, they could only hope to acquire the last two seeds.
At this moment, Wu Laoda felt a sense of pride!
He had already shown his intent; Ji Yang couldn’t possibly pretend not to see him!
However, looking at the two remaining seeds, Wu Laoda pondered. He knew that the bidding for these last two seeds would definitely reach a higher tier.
Should he still put in another bid?
But then he thought, having already bought eight, he might as well get the last two seeds to make it perfect.
“Fellow Daoists, we will begin the auction for the eighth Spiritual Plant Seed. This spiritual plant is called: Ling Xiao Flower!”
“This type of spiritual plant has many uses and has a special effect. Once successfully cultivated, it can purify the surrounding spiritual energy, making it even more refined. It is also the perfect choice for cultivating spiritual fields.”
“The starting price is still five hundred spiritual stones…”
Before anyone could shout a bid, Wu Laoda raised his hand:
“Seven thousand spiritual stones!”
“Seven thousand five hundred spiritual stones!”
“Eight thousand spiritual stones!”
Facing the last two seeds, the others refused to back down. Since they hadn’t bought the earlier seeds, they had more budget available for the last two, meaning they had to increase their bids to avoid going home empty-handed!
Just as Wu Laoda prepared to bid again, a voice from the upper private room called out:
“Ten thousand spiritual stones!”
The others who intended to bid raised their heads in surprise. Seeing that the voice came from a private room belonging to the Heaven Demon Sect, they fell silent.
They could still compete against other high-level cultivators, but the cultivator in that room was from the top-tier Heaven Demon Sect, which put a lot of pressure on them.
Even though it seemed like a fair competition, many didn’t believe they had enough spiritual stones to bid against such a prestigious sect.
In reality, many had to back down once again.
They couldn’t afford to offend someone from the Heaven Demon Sect by raising the price!
But those who withdrew their bids were not disheartened; they shifted their attention to Wu Laoda.
He had already bought eight seeds, so it didn’t make sense for him to skip the last two. Moreover, the high-level cultivator had bid earlier without Wu Laoda backing down.
This made them eager to see how things would unfold!
Seeing everyone’s gaze on him, Wu Laoda felt a bit speechless.
Looking towards the private room of the person who had made the bid, a glimmer of consideration appeared in his eyes.
If he remembered correctly, Ji Yang was in that room.
This caused Wu Laoda to fall into deep thought. After a moment, a light bulb went off in his mind.
He understood!
Ji Yang had noticed his display; this was bringing him a message to tone it down!
Although the bidder was not Ji Yang, Ji Yang’s presence in the room clearly conveyed this intent.
In that case, Ji Yang personally bidding was no different from Wu Laoda bidding himself!
Meanwhile, in the private room, Elder Guan, who had called out the bid, spoke up:
“This Spiritual Plant Seed is quite good and can be taken back to the sect!”
Elder Qu beside him also nodded:
“I didn’t expect there would still be a Ling Xiao Flower seed. It’s truly worth purchasing!”
While the two elders discussed, they also awaited Wu Laoda’s bid.
However, both were very calm; this item was for the sect, and they could naturally be reimbursed, as elders, they had that right.
No matter how many spiritual stones Wu Laoda had, it wouldn’t be enough for them.
As everyone stared at Wu Laoda intently, he had already sat down, closing his mouth, clearly showing he was not going to bid!
Wu Laoda’s silence drew disdainful murmurs from the crowd.
They really thought this person was fearless, but it seemed he had succumbed to the pressure of the Heaven Demon Sect!
