Ch 127: This Is All His Doing!
The afternoon’s live stream passed in the boring journey.
Actually, it’s not really that boring.
During the period, they fought Demon Plants, were chased by Demon Beasts, and took a detour, finally managing to get back. However, the terrain had changed drastically, and it didn’t match the map, which could be said to be quite comical.
After the live stream ended, the netizens discussed Qi Xuan’s experience with great interest, but soon their attention was drawn to the upcoming grand event:
“Are they going to have an auction so soon?”
“Is it a demonstration of the phased harvest?”
“I heard that many countries aren’t participating this time.”
“It’s normal not to participate. Not every country needs the reputation of the auction and the money from the auction. In comparison, the resources on the island are more important.”
“Fortunately, this time the Joint Exploration Team went to the island together. Even some small countries can get a lot of harvest, but in their eyes, these harvests may not be as useful as actual money. It’s conceivable that there will be many good things in this auction.”
“There was a leaked list of auction items circulating online at noon. Although it’s not very comprehensive, you can still see various auction items including Precious Medicine, Ferocious beast, and Demon Plants, covering a much wider range than last time.”
“I heard that in addition to the Golden Sand Scorpion’s shell, the Serrated Tyrant Yuan’s flesh and blood, and the dead Eight-Bladed Bug will also participate in the auction.”
“WTF! Are they dumping battlefield trash? Who would bid on those things?”
“That’s not necessarily true. The Golden Sand Scorpion’s shell is extremely hard and can be used as a weapon, capable of breaking through Innate and even Grandmaster’s bodies, which is not comparable to ordinary swords and knives.
As for those Ferocious beast meats, they can also provide a large amount of nutrition and speed up the cultivation speed, which is definitely not something that can be easily bought on the market.”
“I agree with this. Martial Cultivators eat much more than ordinary people. It’s easy to eat seven or eight bowls of rice in one meal, but ordinary food doesn’t bring much benefit. If you can eat Ferocious beast meat, maybe a small piece can fill you up for a day, and it can also provide more nutrition needed for cultivation.
The only thing to worry about is, don’t eat bullets and shrapnel in the food this time.”
“Actually, compared to Ferocious beast meat, I’m more concerned about the live creatures for sale this time, such as the carnivorous Single horn rabbit, the Tyrant Shrimp with three pairs of pincers, or even the Giant-Toothed Demon Pig, which is of the same type as Qi God’s mount, Sunday.”
“Damn! They actually put the Giant-Toothed Demon Pig on the auction?”
“I heard that a small country brought it out, maybe they just want to make a fortune at the auction?”
“With Qi God’s Sunday there promoting it every day, won’t this Giant-Toothed Demon Pig be snatched up?”
“It shouldn’t be, right? Not to mention that the Giant-Toothed Demon Pig is difficult to tame, even if it is forcibly tamed, it is completely inferior to Sunday under Qi God’s command.”
“Everyone knows it’s definitely not as good as Sunday. The problem is, how many Giant-Toothed Demon Pigs are there in this world? When you ride a Giant-Toothed Demon Pig outside, you are the most dazzling person on the street, which is much more stylish than a Lamborghini or Ferrari.”
“Am I the only one worried that riding a Giant-Toothed Demon Pig might accidentally hurt passersby?”
“There’s no need to worry. You don’t just get the Giant-Toothed Demon Pig after bidding. I heard that you also need to sign many agreements to ensure that it doesn’t cause harm, otherwise, the auction item provider has the right to take back the Giant-Toothed Demon Pig.”
“Actually, everyone is overthinking it. Those who dare to bid on the Giant-Toothed Demon Pig must be extremely wealthy and will not easily take risks. After bidding, they may be more likely to put it in a cage for viewing.”
“That’s hard to say. After all, Qi God has widely spread Martial Arts, and now many people are working hard to cultivate, and there are not a few who have become Innate. I even heard that this auction has invited many top Innate, and maybe some of them will try to ride the Giant-Toothed Demon Pig.”
“I’ve also heard about the invitation. Those who can be invited are basically the first batch to step into Innate, which are real Martial Dao geniuses. It’s rare to see a situation like this where global geniuses gather together.”
“I say, why bother with an auction? Just organize these top geniuses to have a global Martial Dao arena battle, and the winner will get various rewards. The organizers can then sell the live stream rights and rebroadcast rights, guaranteeing a huge profit. Afterwards, everyone can share a portion, and the revenue may even exceed the auction.”
“That’s what you say, but those Martial Dao geniuses are the foundation of various countries, and some even belong to the official. They are too busy protecting them, how could they participate in this kind of arena battle?
And even if they participate, the fighting scenes may not be very good-looking. After all, everyone’s combat Cultivation Technique is only 《Black Jade Technique》. Geniuses all over the world are fighting with the same moves, what’s the point of watching? You’ll get tired of it after watching a few matches.”
“Damn it! Qi God is really damn it! If he hadn’t taught so few Martial Arts, how could we not have an arena battle to watch?!”
“However, as time goes on, Qi God will teach more and more Martial Arts, and there will definitely be various competitions in the future. Everyone can look forward to it. Appropriate Martial Arts exchanges are still very necessary and can even promote the development of global Martial Dao.”
“It’s coming soon, let’s see which geniuses will participate in the live auction this time. The trendsetters who will lead the Martial Arts exchange in the future may be born from among them.”
…
Class Reunion.
Xue Cheng was triumphantly sending a picture in the group, and the picture clearly showed the online auction participation certificate.
Seeing this picture, the group immediately became agitated:
“BYD is showing off in front of the poor guys again, right? This matter isn’t over without a five-yuan red envelope!”
“That’s right, five red envelopes, everyone gets a share!”
“I’m different, I only want three, Orange, consider it.”
“Damn, are they even competing over five yuan? Truly worthy of being Da Qian people, the innate kings of competition.”
“Come to think of it, Xuanzi doesn’t have anything in this auction again, Orange, why are you participating?”
……
Seeing the question, Xue Cheng said helplessly:
“There’s nothing I can do. Who would have thought they’d hold the auction so frequently? My funds are still in the bank and haven’t been taken out, and they’ve already held another one. Anyway, I have nothing better to do, so I’ll go and take a look. It’ll be good to show off in front of outsiders later with the proof.”
“That’s a fresh and refined reason, but aren’t you being scammed, kid? I remember your serial number far exceeded the number of online participants last time.”
“He’s not wrong.”
【Dongmen First】 Zhang Chu suddenly appeared:
“The scale of this auction far exceeds the last one. Not only has the number of auction items increased greatly, but the auction venue has been changed to a larger one, and even the number of online participants has reached three times the last time.”
“Holy shit! So many rich people!”
The classmates were all shocked.
“Actually, it’s understandable if you think about it.”
Xue Cheng explained:
“The first time the auction was held, many people didn’t understand the details of the auction, nor did they know the effects of those auction items, so they certainly wouldn’t dare to transfer money casually.
In addition, the last auction was held very abruptly. No one could possibly have ten million in the bank every day, and it’s not easy to raise money temporarily.
This time, everyone recognized the value of the auction, knowing that the things that appeared above were very precious. Knowing that the exploration team of the Island was about to return, they must have prepared early, so the number of online participants increased greatly.”
“With so many people online, the competition in this auction will definitely be even more intense than last time. I heard that more people were also invited to the scene. Is that true?”
Song Manman asked.
Xue Cheng immediately replied:
“Many people were indeed invited to the scene. In addition to political figures and the super-rich, many Innate Martial Cultivators were also invited. It’s a pity that I’m still stuck at Transformation Force, otherwise, I might be able to go to the scene.”
Seeing this news, Zhang Chu immediately spoke disdainfully:
“Give it a rest. Even if you become Innate, it’s not so easy to get an invitation. I asked around, and they only invite young geniuses among the Innate, who cultivate extremely fast and have great potential for development. Not just any Innate can go.”
Xue Cheng was immediately dissatisfied:
“What’s wrong? I’m a handsome young man in my twenties, how can I have no potential?”
“Are you talking about your age? I’m talking about your talent! Do you know how fast you cultivate?”
“Looking for trouble, are you? Want to fight, are you? Come, come, come, tell me a place, let me see how your Zhang Gongzi’s strength is after cultivating for so long.”
……
The two’s tempers were rising, and before the surrounding classmates could mediate, they saw 【Sweet Chrysanthemum】 suddenly throw out a photo.
The photo showed a scissors hand gesture, and behind the gesture was a banner hanging in the auction venue.
Seeing this photo, everyone in the group was shocked:
“What’s going on? Chrysanthemum, are you stealing pictures? Quickly say where you got it from?”
“Laughing to death, this white and tender hand looks like a girl’s hand. Chrysanthemum, with your appearance, can you give birth to such a hand?”
“It’s okay to deceive your brothers, but don’t deceive yourself. Many people online are waiting for you to get old and sell you health products.”
……
【Sweet Chrysanthemum】 looked helpless and had to take a picture of his own face.
A bunch of people below were swiping 【Recall】.
After chatting and joking for a while, the classmates finally asked about his situation:
“Isn’t it only top-tier Innate who can go to the venue? Chrysanthemum, you’re about to be a Grandmaster?”
“Not yet.”
【Sweet Chrysanthemum】 replied:
“Didn’t our family sell a Wild Boar King to Foreign last time? They’re very interested in this kind of wild animal. They occasionally ask us if we have other wild animals. We got familiar with each other over time. During casual conversation, I mentioned this Auction. I lamented that I didn’t have enough cultivation to go. The other party mentioned that someone had temporarily changed their mind and didn’t go to the venue, and there were quite a few empty spots. They asked if I wanted to go, and then I agreed immediately. In the blink of an eye, I came here.”
After hearing his explanation, the Classmates couldn’t help but sigh:
“You have the guts to get to the scene. I’m not jealous at all. You’re not afraid of being fished out and sold as a Piglet.”
“Yeah, Foreign is still very chaotic now, or rather, it’s becoming more and more chaotic with the spread of Martial Arts. I also heard before that an old Innate killed a young Transformation Force cultivator on the spot because of jealousy.”
“I also read that news. Although the Realm was a whole level higher, the person was already in their eighties and didn’t have much time left. If it were me, I would also be jealous of those young Cultivators in their teens. They live in such a good era, and he clearly had outstanding talent, but his life was about to end. If the other party mocked him a few more times, it wouldn’t be surprising if he lashed out in anger.”
“In short, be careful in Foreign, and don’t come back as a pile of spare parts.”
“If you really have to become spare parts, I can help you contact a hospital in China that lacks organs.”
“Damn! Can’t you guys wish me well?”
“Alright then, I’ll leave your second brother behind. Maybe he can have offspring. You have to believe in modern medicine.”
……
【Sweet Chrysanthemum】Tang Botao exited the group chat, glanced around, first ate his fill nearby, and then wandered around. Seeing that the Auction was about to start, he hurried towards the venue. After a series of verifications and checks, he quickly entered the bustling scene with countless celebrities.
Looking around, the faces around were all very common on television and in the Media. Even those who weren’t familiar with them all had an imposing manner that was not ordinary.
All sorts of chaotic languages rang in his ears. He only regretted that he didn’t study English well in his four years of university, but soon he heard familiar Chinese. He was about to take a look, but the voice was directly covered by the figures around.
Okay, let’s go to the seat first.
Following the location indicated on the invitation, he came to his seat.
Look to the left, very good, a Blonde Handsome Guy from The West, completely unfamiliar.
Look to the right, very good, a young African big brother, also unfamiliar.
Looking away, Tang Botao only felt like crying. Couldn’t they arrange for me to sit with Da Qian People?
But thinking that he was sitting in someone else’s empty seat, there was no way to ask for too much.
After sitting in the seat, twisting and turning for a while, the naturally outgoing Tang Botao finally couldn’t sit still.
Even if the two people next to him were completely unfamiliar, it couldn’t stop his idea of chatting.
“Guys, do you want to eat White Rabbit Creamy Candy?”
Seeing the candy Tang Botao took out, the Blonde Handsome Guy looked blank, and the African big brother gave him a very cold glance.
“Brothers, can you understand Chinese?”
The Blonde Handsome Guy thought for a moment and said with a face full of confidence:
“Han Yu, I know.”
Hearing that pronunciation, Tang Botao was dumbfounded.
Then he spoke with a clumsy accent:
“Or let’s speak English, my name is tang bo tao……”
The Blonde Handsome Guy had a very difficult-to-evaluate expression.
Just thinking about how to introduce himself, Tang Botao suddenly had an idea. He immediately took out his phone album and pointed at Qi Xuan in a group photo, saying to the two of them:
“Qi Xuan! my brother!”
“my most intimate brother!”
Seeing this group photo, the Blonde Handsome Guy was immediately shocked.
Even the African big brother, who had been maintaining a cold expression, couldn’t hold back.
He suddenly asked in extremely fluent Chinese:
“Qi Xuan, who is he to you?”
Tang Botao was stunned, and then overjoyed:
“Great, after all this time, you understand Chinese! Say it earlier, brother. The Tower of Babel has fallen, and humans still need to communicate more. Don’t be so indifferent next time, you might hurt some boy’s heart!”
He babbled out a lot, and seeing that the other party was a little impatient, Tang Botao then turned to the main topic:
“Qi Xuan, that’s my closest friend. We were friends for four whole years in university. After university, we even played games together. Our relationship was so good that it was normal for us to sleep in each other’s beds.”
“Qi Xuan is gay?” Blonde Handsome Guy Duan asked in confusion.
“It’s a metaphor! A metaphor! I went to school in Modu, not in Chengdu!”
Tang Botao’s whole face turned red, and he hurriedly asked the African brother Mufasa to help translate.
Mufasa looked at Duan and said coldly:
“He said Qi Xuan is a gay in Modu, not in Chengdu, don’t misunderstand.”
“oh! I see I see, I will keep it a secret.”
Duan looked enlightened.
The three chatted for a while, and soon, with the real-time translation tools distributed by the staff, they finally solved the communication problem and roughly figured out each other’s situations during the conversation.
Tang Botao warmly invited the two to visit Da Qian as guests. Duan readily agreed. He was originally going to Da Qian to donate a school. Now that he had a local friend to host him, the journey would be smoother.
As for Mufasa, he hesitated for a moment but refused, but he was afraid that Tang Botao would misunderstand, so he added that he wanted to cultivate and break through.
Hearing that he was going to prepare for a Grandmaster breakthrough, both Tang Botao and Duan were filled with respect, and they all praised him. Mufasa rarely showed the humble smile unique to young people.
After that, they exchanged cultivation experiences.
However, with the arrival of the auctioneer, the exchange temporarily came to an end, and the noise on the scene quickly subsided.
Everyone looked at the big screen behind the auctioneer, which would display the auction items that were about to appear on stage from all angles.
As the first auction item appeared on stage, the scene immediately became agitated.
Because it was a 100ml bottle of Silver-Winged Wasp Honey, the capacity was ten times that of the last time.
Seeing this Silver-Winged Wasp Honey, countless Barrage also appeared in the auction website:
“Big spender! Really a big spender! It’s 100ml of Honey at the start! Afraid the atmosphere of the venue isn’t hot enough, right?”
“I remember the last time 10ml sold for 300 million dollars. Can this 100ml sell for 3 billion?”
“Not necessarily, the currency hasn’t depreciated to that extent. The high price last time was because there were very few Spiritual Items on the scene, and the Honey harvested was also not much. The price of Honey was completely set off.
But this time, the scale of Spiritual Items has expanded more than ten times. Many Small countries have received Silver-Winged Wasp Honey, and it is not as scarce as before. The price will inevitably be greatly reduced.”
“I estimate that even if the price drops, it shouldn’t drop too much. The amount of Honey circulating in the market is ultimately limited. Some people have a lot of Money but can’t buy it, especially those old rich people who are about to die. They will probably go crazy this time.”
“That’s right, even if you buy 100ml at a high price and can’t use it all yourself, you can sell it to others later.”
“Alas, I don’t know when it will be our turn as ordinary people. I don’t know if we can drink this Honey in our lifetime.”
……
During the idle chat, with the auctioneer’s voice falling, the venue immediately erupted into a fierce bidding war for the Silver-Winged Wasp Honey. Under the dumbfounded gazes of everyone, the price almost rolled upwards, and it soon broke through the 1 billion dollar mark.
But after breaking through 1 billion dollars, the price increase slowed down.
It was finally taken down on the spot for 1.2 billion dollars by a representative of a world-class pharmaceutical company.
1.2 billion!
The transaction price of this first auction alone has already exceeded the highest transaction price of the last Auction, and the atmosphere at the scene was instantly heated.
Then, one auction item after another was sent up like an assembly line. Even the 1000 jin of Demon Beast meat, which was not favored beforehand, finally sold for a high price of 80 million dollars, equivalent to 80,000 dollars per jin.
You must know that before this, the highest price for meat sold at an auction in the world was a 3.1 million dollar bluefin tuna, but the unit price was only about 5,500 dollars per jin.
The sky-high food prices among non-meat items, such as white sturgeon caviar, were only 22,000 dollars per jin at most, and edible gold foil could only reach 33,000 dollars per jin.
You can imagine how terrifying this transaction price was.
And after a series of auction items were sold, when the Giant-Toothed Demon Pig came on stage, another climax was ushered in at the scene.
The Giant-Toothed Demon Pig that appeared on stage should be considered a minor, and its size was smaller than a normal Giant-Toothed Demon Pig, looking similar to Sunday. Of course, Sunday’s size was the result of evolution, and its combat power cannot be compared by looking at its size alone.
But even so, because of Sunday’s series of performances in the Sky Screen Live Stream Room, this Giant-Toothed Demon Pig still caused quite a sensation at the scene.
When the auctioneer finished speaking about a series of harsh conditions for auctioning the Giant-Toothed Demon Pig.
Almost at the same time he announced the start of the auction, the bidding at the scene immediately soared upwards:
“50 million!”
“100 million!”
“300 million!”
“800 million!”
“100 million!”
……
Seeing this intense bidding scene, the netizens were all stunned:
“It’s already 100 million in the blink of an eye??”
“This is really just a pig!!”
“I thought the Giant-Toothed Demon Pig would be popular, but I didn’t expect it to be so popular!”
“Just kidding! It’s just a joke! How can the price be raised so high?! Isn’t this too ridiculous?!”
“It has actually broken 200 million! As expected of Qi God, his influence is truly terrifying. Just his Mount, and merely a similar-looking member of the same species, can fetch such a high price. It’s probably going to achieve an unprecedented transaction number!”
……
The final transaction price was fixed at 330 million.
Confirming the transaction price, not to mention the netizens outside, even the people on the scene felt it was incredible.
The Small country representative who provided the Giant-Toothed Demon Pig was about to laugh his teeth off, and the other Small countries that also got a share of the Giant-Toothed Demon Pig were even envious to the extreme.
They hadn’t even thought beforehand that a mere Giant-Toothed Demon Pig could be auctioned for such a high price, because in order to avoid the Demon Beast causing uncontrollable harm, the Auction had set extremely strict restrictions on live transactions, including annual inspections, the need to report when going out, and the possibility of forced recovery if harm was caused, and so on.
This series of restrictions almost extinguished the idea of auctioning Demon Beasts at a high price.
But who would have thought.
Under these various restrictions, it could still be auctioned for a price of 330 million, almost equivalent to one-tenth of the Small country’s annual GDP.
How can this not make people envious?
It’s simply making people regret it to death!
As for the Saudi Prince who successfully bid for the Giant-Toothed Demon Pig, he was full of smugness, enjoying the envious gazes from all sides.
This enjoyment even made him feel more elated than when he bid for the Black Star Fruit, or rather, the Dragon Saliva Fruit, last time.
330 million, it’s worth it!
With the transaction of the Giant-Toothed Demon Pig, the Golden Sand Scorpion shell, the dead Eight-Bladed Bug, and even the dead Silver-Winged Wasp, etc., all appeared on the auction site, and each also received a relatively satisfactory bid.
And when the Bloodsucking Vine appeared on the stage, the scene once again ushered in a burst of commotion.
This was the first time a Demon Plant appeared complete on the viewing platform.
Although it was not as effective for humans as Spiritual Plants, and also possessed a considerable degree of danger, the Bloodsucking Vine itself had a certain degree of research value, and it was also relatively scarce. Even if it was placed in a botanical garden, it could attract many onlookers.
Following this, the people on the scene and the online bidders began to bid, and finally, this Bloodsucking Vine was auctioned off by another pharmaceutical company for a price of 100 million dollars.
Although this price was not considered high, it also made Alfonso feel very satisfied. After all, he still held many Bloodsucking Vines in his hands, and he could completely continue to trade them with pharmaceutical companies, or simply establish his own drug research and development company.
One item after another was bid for at astonishing prices, and the Auction was finally about to enter the final stage.
As the final Swift Running Orchid appeared on the stage, the scene immediately caused a commotion.
Liu Wang and others, the representatives of Da Qian, all sat up straight.
The originally scheduled final auction item was not the Swift Running Orchid. Unexpectedly, the auction organizers persuaded a certain country in a short period of time to bring this thing up, so that Liu Wang and others, who had only made two or three bids during the entire auction process, were all now energized.
“10 million.”
“20 million.”
“30 million.”
“35 million.”
“50 million.”
……
Although the Medicinal Effect of the Swift Running Orchid is not yet known, bidders naturally assess its value based on its swift running Characteristic and its identity as a Spiritual Plant.
Especially when some people learned that Da Qian had only wanted the information about the Swift Running Orchid, they valued it even more.
Before long, the price soared to 300 million US dollars, and it seemed there was still room for further increases.
During this time, Liu Wang also signaled Little Li to raise the paddle twice.
But every time they raised their paddles, the price immediately rose rapidly again.
Those who bid included representatives from the Lighthouse Country and many pharmaceutical company representatives.
Obviously, everyone was watching their actions.
When the price broke through 400 million, Liu Wang gave up on following.
In the end, this Swift Running Orchid was bought by the Old Chief from Africa for 480 million US dollars.
After the purchase, while accepting congratulations from those around him, he secretly glanced at Liu Wang, and Liu Wang nodded to him almost imperceptibly.
A grand event came to an end.
But many people knew that this was not the end, but rather foreshadowed that the second half was about to begin.
Many wealthy people and representatives from Various countries stood up from their seats and walked towards the Martial Dao Geniuses present.
That’s right, from the very beginning, this was how various parties recruited Martial Dao Geniuses, and they were specifically brought here for this purpose.
Martial Dao Geniuses may have outstanding talent, but that doesn’t mean they have a good background; many of them may have been ordinary people before they started cultivating.
Bringing them here was not only to let them see another side of the world, but also to arouse their desires through those extremely expensive Precious Medicine and Spiritual Items, triggering their craving for wealth and cultivation resources, and then allowing those in power and those with money present to hunt them.
This was a plan set from the very beginning.
And for many Martial Dao Geniuses, they also didn’t reject the recruitment from various parties; after all, choosing a big backer might give them a place to obtain cultivation resources in the future, allowing them to continue to lead other Cultivators, or at least to obtain a large sum of money to improve their lives.
It can be said that the two sides’ needs were quite a match, and they could fully cooperate to achieve a happy ending for all.
“I’m sorry, I am a soldier of Da Qian, and I have no intention of changing my allegiance.”
Hearing Xu Wei say this, the person still tried to recruit:
“We know you are a soldier, but you can’t stay in the army for the rest of your life, why not try to come out and see? There are so many soldiers in Da Qian, how many resources can you get?
We can guarantee that all the resources will be invested in you, with a minimum investment of hundreds of millions of US dollars every year, and you only need to cooperate with us to do some experiments, and it will not harm your body, these can be written into the contract, you can take a look at the special contract we have prepared for you……”
Liu Wang almost laughed in anger as he listened from the side.
Seeing this, Little Li quickly led people forward to stop them:
“Please stop harassing our accompanying personnel.”
Finally, they managed to drive away the eloquent speaker.
Liu Wang looked at the small groups bargaining, and for a moment, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of emotion; this scene in front of him made him truly feel the arrival of the Martial Cultivators era.
In the future, the duels on the battlefield may no longer be aircraft carriers and Missiles, but the collision of Land Immortals and Land Immortals.
To judge whether a country’s Military force is strong, the number of Land Immortals will also become one of the key indicators, and its importance may even exceed that of Aircraft carriers.
“It seems that the project set in the morning is indeed necessary to implement.”
“In the future, we can’t just rely on Land Immortals, or perhaps, can we further develop weapons that are compatible with Land Immortals?”
As Liu Wang was thinking, a clear voice of inquiry suddenly came from nearby:
“Are you Xu Wei? The world’s first Grandmaster?!”
Hearing the word “Grandmaster,” the venue, which had been very lively just now, suddenly became deathly silent, and countless people cast their gazes over, directly causing Tang Botao and Duan, who were following Mufasa, to stiffen—
Guys, you said you had something to come over for, but you didn’t say you were going to provoke the Grandmaster face to face!!
What if he accidentally kills the two of us?
We are innocent!
Tang Botao and Duan looked at each other and stepped out at the same time, silently retreating into the crowd.
Xu Wei raised an eyebrow and said in a deep voice:
“I am indeed a Grandmaster, but not the first one, I don’t know about that.”
Mufasa’s tone was high-spirited:
“At least you are the only Grandmaster I know of at the moment.”
“I will also be stepping into the Grandmaster realm soon. It’s rare to have this opportunity to meet, may I ask for a few pointers?”
Xu Wei looked at Liu Wang.
Liu Wang thought for a moment and nodded at him.
Seeing this, the scene immediately became chaotic.
Many Martial Dao geniuses couldn’t care less about being recruited by others, and they all squeezed over here. Those Political Figures and even the super-rich also followed, squeezing forward. In the blink of an eye, they formed circle after circle. Those who couldn’t see from the outside shouted anxiously:
“Get on stage!”
“Get on stage!!”
The staff of the auction house saw this and immediately had an idea. They immediately aimed the camera at Xu Wei and Mufasa, projecting the scene of their duel onto the big screen.
The people who were originally squeezed in the innermost part also scattered outwards, leaving enough space for them to fight, so as not to be affected.
Mufasa immediately struck a starting pose for a 《Black Jade Technique》 punch. Seeing this, Xu Wei didn’t pretend to be cool either, and struck the same starting pose.
Although they hadn’t really fought yet, the constantly rising momentum forced the people around them to feel chest tightness and had to retreat.
Some geniuses who were originally very satisfied with their own cultivation changed their expressions.
There are always people better than you.
There are always stronger hands.
Not to mention comparing with Xu Wei, who is a Grandmaster, even compared to Mufasa, who is a top Innate, they are still far inferior.
The momentum of the two people kept rising, constantly brewing the power of their punches.
Finally, Mufasa took the lead.
And when he made his move, he knew he had already lost a move.
Because his momentum had already brewed to its peak, while the opponent was still continuing to rise, there was no limit in sight.
If he let the opponent continue to rise, he would even be defeated in his confidence to make a move.
Grandmaster, is really terrifying!
Because of this, he wanted to try his weight and recognize his own gap!
This punch condensed all of Mufasa’s essence, qi, and spirit. It was the most peak punch he had ever thrown since he started cultivating. Not to mention Lions and Tigers, even the other Innate present, he was confident he could kill with one punch.
But, the one opposite him is a Grandmaster!
He will definitely be able to take this punch!
In the booming sound, Mufasa flew backward, and only after retreating seven or eight steps did he stand up straight.
He endured and endured, but in the end, he couldn’t help but cough, and a trace of blood slowly overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
Seeing this scene, everyone watching was stunned.
Many Hidden Force and Transformation Force users who didn’t have enough insight didn’t even know what had happened just now.
Only some Innate could barely see the process of the battle just now.
They asked themselves that if they were in Xu Wei’s position, facing Mufasa’s peak punch, they had no confidence to take it. They could only dodge, even if dodging would fall into the opponent’s attack rhythm, they could only do so.
Because that punch was really too terrifying, it was hard to believe that it was an attack that an Innate could throw.
But in the face of this killer move, Xu Wei’s response was very simple, so simple that it made people feel unbelievable.
He waited for Mufasa to rush to him, threw a punch casually, and struck Mufasa’s chest with a move that came later but arrived first, immediately knocking him back. It was like an adult casually waving away a child. From beginning to end, he didn’t let Mufasa’s attack land on him.
The reason why Mufasa’s mouth overflowed with blood was more because of the recoil caused by the missed punch. In fact, Xu Wei’s strength was just right, and he didn’t even let him fall.
But the more they thought about this, the more it made everyone think deeply and feel a chill all over their bodies—
his control over force was so precise; if he wanted to, wouldn’t he be able to kill Mufasa with a single punch?
then, even Mufasa couldn’t stop him, and as they were inferior to even Mufasa, how could they possibly stop him?
a Grandmaster, was this how terrifying they were?!
the Innate were shocked to the point of their scalps going numb.
and when the rest of the people understood what had just happened, their gazes towards Xu Wei completely changed, with envy, jealousy, awe, fear, fanaticism… and so on and so forth, all sorts of emotions.
feeling the emotions of the people around him, Liu Wang’s mood was also a little excited, but in addition to the excitement, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of emotion.
all of this was thanks to Qi Xuan; if it weren’t for him giving them three days in advance, the world’s first Grandmaster might not have been Xu Wei, nor would he have been born within Da Qian’s borders, and he wouldn’t have allowed Da Qian to gain some fame on such an important occasion today.
all of this was his merit!
at this moment, Mufasa also recovered.
he rubbed his chest and asked Xu Wei:
“how big of a gap is there between you and Qi Xuan now?”
xu wei, who was originally preparing to return to the team, couldn’t help but pause slightly when he heard this.
he thought for a moment and answered seriously:
“maybe a hundred of me together attacking him, and it wouldn’t even take two seconds for him to kill us all.”
the people around them were stunned when they heard this, their expressions were blank.
…
“i heard the country is preparing to build a museum for him.”
in the bar, the melodious music filled the surroundings, song manman pointed at the news on her phone and said to ji yuwei with a look of astonishment.
ji yuwei said casually:
“this is a very normal thing; his residence on the island has been completely excavated by the country, and the country naturally needs to find a place to preserve it for him.”
“but… i always feel it’s very dreamy.”
song manman couldn’t help but sigh:
“he’s clearly our classmate, and in the blink of an eye, he’s grown to this extent; it’s really something i couldn’t have dreamed of.”
“everyone has their own destiny; maybe you will also usher in that day of being the center of attention.”
“i don’t dare to think so far ahead; it would be good if my salary could be increased.”
song manman smiled.
glancing at ji yuwei’s cold face, which had driven away the sixth man who had come to strike up a conversation, she asked somewhat strangely:
“although it’s a bar, it’s also a social place; i’ve never seen you go to this kind of place before, why did you suddenly think of asking me to come here to chat? for you, wouldn’t a cafe be more suitable?”
“a cafe is the same.”
song manman glanced at her delicate and pretty face with a knowing look, and immediately deflated:
“i almost forgot about your appearance and figure that attract attention; indeed, for a woman like you, even in a remote mountain village, you would be coveted by countless people.”
ji yuwei looked at her watch and smiled slightly:
“it’s almost time; let’s end it here today, i’ll have the driver send you back first.”
“no need, i can take a taxi!”
song manman immediately replied.
after hearing this, ji yuwei, however, took her into the car without allowing her to refuse.
after sending her back to the rented house, the rolls-royce returned to the ji family villa.
washing her face, taking a bath, doing beauty treatments, reading books, and turning off the lights.
the private detective who had been following them outside all the way yawned and said to his assistant:
“same as usual, the three of you take turns guarding nearby, and you must not miss any of her movements; i’ll go find the boss to report.”
Saying this, he took a folding electric bike from the back of the car and rode away.
An hour later, at 1:30 a.m., Ji Yuwei suddenly got up.
She pretended to be going to the toilet and left the bedroom, walking into the toilet.
But she pulled open the toilet tank and took out a sealed mobile phone from inside.
She turned on the phone, then opened the small account applied for by Chen Yutong, entered the password to enter the account, and there was a series of photos, including others monitoring her in the bar, tailing her in the traffic, guarding her outside the Villa, and finally getting into the car and talking to someone.
Seeing the person’s appearance, Ji Yuwei’s pupils couldn’t help but shrink slightly.
Besides the photos sent by Chen Yutong, there were also a few messages on the account:
“Vivi, it seems you didn’t sense it wrong, you are indeed being followed.”
“Now the mastermind behind the scenes has also been photographed, should we call the police? Otherwise, if something really happens, it will be too late.”
After thinking for a moment, Ji Yuwei typed back:
“Don’t worry, that’s the secretary beside my father. Maybe he’s afraid that someone will harm me, so he secretly sent someone to protect me. Thank you for your trouble during this time, I’ll treat you to dinner later.”
After sending the message, she deleted the chat history, exited the chat software, then turned off the phone, put it in a sealed bag, and hid it in the water tank, pressing the toilet flush button.
Amidst the rumbling sound, she returned to her bedroom and lay down as if she had just finished using the toilet.
That night, she didn’t close her eyes again.
……
Floating Continent.
Qi Xuan led Sunday to hide in a newly opened cave to rest.
Today was quite unlucky for him. After the Live Stream in the afternoon, he didn’t stop to determine the subsequent route. As a result, he accidentally encountered several powerful Demon Plants during the exploration.
He finally won and tore the Demon Plants off as material reserves. He was about to find a suitable place to live, but then he ran into a group of Fire Sickle Ants and was chased all over the place, looking extremely embarrassed.
Qi Xuan was really pissed off. Back then, at Qi Refining Stage Two, he was chased by Fire Sickle Ants, and now at Qi Refining Stage 5, he was still chased by Fire Sickle Ants. What the hell did he cultivate?
“Forget it, at least today is Bronze Pool guaranteed, be happy.”
“Happiness is the most important thing.”
Qi Xuan bared his teeth, pulled out a stiff smile, and opened the Lottery page.
Seeing the 337B in the upper right corner, the smile on his face immediately became sincere.
“Let me see what good things I can draw today!”
Qi Xuan was invigorated and slammed the lever.
In the low, droning music, ten Light Balls immediately popped out.
Three Mortal items, seven Spiritual Items.
Qi Xuan opened them all at once.
Ignoring those old acquaintances and things of lower value, a familiar thing immediately caught his attention:
“Tracking Talisman?”
After taking a closer look, it was indeed a youth version of the Ten-Thousand-Mile Tracking Talisman.
It could track her specific location along the residual Aura of someone, but the range was only within five hundred miles.
It could be said to be severely watered down.
But it was more than useful to him, after all, he still had to search for Zhao Lingyun’s whereabouts.
It’s just that he doesn’t have Zhao Lingyun’s Aura right now.
But with the Aura, it seems that he can also directly open the Jade Box, without having to find her.
“This depends on whether the residual Aura on the item can open the Jade Box.”
“Although I think it shouldn’t be able to open, after all, the Aura remaining on the item is still somewhat different from the one on the body.”
“Anyway, if I find Zhao Lingyun’s personal belongings, I’ll try to see if I can open the Jade Box first. If I can’t open it, I’ll use the Tracking Talisman to locate her whereabouts, which is considered an extra layer of protection.”
Qi Xuan put away all the prizes and then clicked on ten draws.
Four mortal items, six Spiritual Items, and one of them was a Second Grade guaranteed by the Bronze Pool.
After opening the other nine items, he didn’t get anything good, and for a moment, Qi Xuan hesitated whether to open this guaranteed item.
Feeling uneasy, he simply drew the remaining ten draws first.
This time, two very important rewards came instead.
One was a Martial Arts.
The other was a Pill, and it was also a Pill suitable for Demon Beast advancement.
Qi Xuan couldn’t help but purse his lips.
Damn it, wouldn’t it be better to change Sunday’s Pill to give to me?
But after thinking about it, his cultivation speed was much faster than Sunday’s, so he let it eat it.
Qi Xuan casually tossed the Fire Lin Pill over.
Sunday, who had been lying on the ground lifelessly, suddenly leaped up, swallowed the Fire Lin Pill in mid-air, and its huge body slammed onto the ground, shaking up a flurry of sand and stones.
“Damn! You’re about to collapse the cave!”
“If you make this kind of noise again next time, don’t even think about taking any more Pills!”
Sunday listened, and hummed two times in a flattering manner, its short tail wagging like a propeller, and the whole pig was extremely happy.
Qi Xuan pursed his lips and looked at the remaining Second Grade Light Ball in front of him.
He took a deep breath and fiercely tapped the Light Ball.
After the scattered light dissipated, a black, special Talismans immediately appeared in front of him.
“This is… Shadow Return Talisman?!”
Qi Xuan’s face was full of surprise and uncertainty.
