Top-tier Unruly Master

Chapter 1490 - 1527: Sky-High Medicine Pill

In no time, Lin Shu handed the Thunderbolt Ore directly to the young girl, while retrieving the two storage bags. Lin Shu counted the Spirit Stones in the storage bag in front of her, finding exactly eighty million inside, not too few nor too many.

Lin Shu didn't dare say much, and after counting the Spirit Stones, he quickly left the young girl's side. Lin Shu naturally knew the girl's identity. Having spent such a huge amount to buy the Thunderbolt Ore, her mood would certainly be very unpleasant, so he obviously couldn't linger around her any longer. Clearly, a careless word could anger her, and there would be nothing good for him to gain.

Soon, Lin Shu returned directly to the circular platform in the venue, and the auction continued.

Subsequently, a few more rare and valuable auction items appeared. Several cultivators successfully bid on them, yet the atmosphere remained tense. The incident between the young girl and Ding Fan left everyone struggling to recover. Some auction items were sold for only a few million Spirit Stones, but a Seven Star Elemental Beast's Crystal Core managed to fetch over ten million Spirit Stones.

But obviously, that was still much less compared to the young girl's eighty million.

Ding Fan was not particularly concerned. Although he didn't get the Thunderbolt Ore, he felt a twinge of regret. However, compared to spending so many Spirit Stones on the Thunderbolt Ore, he was somewhat relieved, feeling a bit consoled.

In no time, another item was up for auction— a shield. Although it looked rather ordinary, the shield obviously held many mysteries and wasn't an ordinary item. Lin Shu introduced it very excitedly, noticing that ever since the incident between the young girl and the man in the private room, the auction's atmosphere had been off. Luckily, a significant auction item came along, giving Lin Shu a chance to reignite the passionate atmosphere!

"Don't underestimate this shield. It's not an ordinary one. Even an attack from a cultivator at the Distraction Stage probably won't break through it. Only a cultivator at the Tribulation Stage might pierce its defense! This shield was once owned by a mighty figure in the Cultivation World, but when that master perished, this shield was lost here!"

As Lin Shu finished speaking, the audience was clearly surprised. No one anticipated that a seemingly ordinary shield could resist the attack of a Distraction Stage cultivator, which was indeed quite impressive.

Instantly, discussions erupted:

"Wow, this shield is really incredible! Quite unbelievable!"

"I wonder which mighty person owned it before, they must have been no ordinary person!"

"..."

Clearly, everyone was very interested in the shield. Seeing this scene, Lin Shu couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. Under his provocation, the crowd's mood indeed adjusted. At this moment, Lin Qi saw the good effect and continued:

"The most remarkable feature of this shield is the pattern on the front. I admit my knowledge is limited, clearly unable to unravel its mystery. However, I personally believe the texture within this shield is no ordinary matter. Whether anyone can uncover the secret within depends entirely on your own fortune!"

After Lin Shu finished speaking, another wave of discussion erupted below, sparking immense interest in the shield.

At this moment, Ding Fan was also very interested in the shield, not only because of its unusual nature but also because he knew it was something from the Dayang Sect. Ding Fan clearly remembered that an elder of the Dayang Sect once used this shield, and the texture on the shield wasn't some special thing but a sealed formation, making the shield extraordinary because of the existence of this seal formation.

But what shocked Ding Fan the most was that something from the Dayang Sect was here. The Dayang Sect had been wiped out by the Wild Wolf Gang, and the treasures from those Dayang Sect elders had been taken by Wild Wolf Gang disciples. Especially like this shield, clearly the Wild Wolf Gang wouldn't let it slip away, but now it was here at the auction. There was only one possibility, a Wild Wolf Gang Cultivator put it here for auction.

Ding Fan felt a bit horrified, clearly not expecting the Wild Wolf Gang's reach to extend here, even Lan City's auction had their trace. Ding Fan couldn't help but wonder what the Wild Wolf Gang was plotting, such a widespread net, what were they up to? Unable to figure it out, Ding Fan directly placed a bid:

"Ten million Spirit Stones!"

The starting bid for the shield given by Lin Shu was three million Spirit Stones, which quickly rose to five million Spirit Stones. At that moment, when few cultivators continued bidding, Ding Fan straightforwardly bid ten million, successfully acquiring the shield. His tactic of calling a high price at once was clearly learned from the girl, proving to be effective.

Subsequently, Lin Shu sent someone to deliver the shield to Ding Fan, while the Cultivator also took ten million Spirit Stones from Ding Fan. The Cultivator entering Ding Fan's private room had seen previous scenes involving Ding Fan and couldn't help but feel curious when entering, wondering what kind of Cultivator dared to confront the Vice City Lord's daughter.

When this female Cultivator entered Ding Fan's private room, she was utterly shocked upon seeing Ding Fan and the others inside; she didn't expect the one opposing the Vice City Lord's daughter to be such a young boy - it was unbelievable!

The Cultivator knew herself to be a small person of little status, so she dared not say much and quickly left the VIP room where Ding Fan and his companions were.

Ding Fan received the shield, fiddling with it casually, discovering it indeed belonged to the Dayang Sect elder's magic artifact. Immediately, Ding Fan kept it, knowing that the shield was extraordinary, but for now, the auction continued. Clearly, he would have to wait until returning to the inn to study it.

At this moment, Long Ren also bid on some items, but they were all peculiar things that evidently had no use for Cultivation. For Long Ren, it was merely for fun. Ding Fan, seeing this, couldn't help but feel a bit helpless, not expecting his virtuous brother to have such a playful spirit. However, this wasn't bad news; having a childlike heart was precious for an adult, a luxury often unattainable.

The auction kept going, and despite Ding Fan spending ten million Spirit Stones on the shield, he clearly still had plenty left. In contrast, the young girl seemed embarrassed, clearly having spent all her Spirit Stones on the Thunderbolt Ore and with her godfather expressing dissatisfaction, she obviously couldn't continue spending his Spirit Stones.

Eventually, the girl left the auction, prompting a silent laughter from the crowd, knowing her Spirit Stones were depleted, or she wouldn't have left so soon. Despite laughing, everyone still envied her, for not just any cultivator could produce eighty million Spirit Stones on the spot!

Naturally, Ding Fan saw the girl leave and couldn't help but find it amusing, aware her pockets were empty. Staying wouldn't lead to more bids, but since she was a young girl, any regular Cultivator wouldn't leave at that moment for fear of losing face.

However, for Linger, face didn't matter anymore. Her anger had hit the ceiling, and evidently, her heart was filled with rage toward Ding Fan, losing all interest in the auction with thoughts only on settling the score with him.

At this moment, as one auction item concluded, a hostess walked up with a tray, and Lin Qi said in shock:

"This next auction item is no ordinary piece! You all know that in terms of medicine pills, the best are naturally Supreme Quality Medicine Pills! Our next auction item is a bottle of extremely precious Supreme Quality Medicine Pills!"

Wow...

For a moment, everyone was quite shocked. It was clear that no one expected that there would be Supreme Quality Medicine Pills at the auction, leaving everyone puzzled as they were unsure if it was real.

Ding Fan heard Lin Shu's words and knew that this auction item should be his medicine pill. At this moment, as Ding Fan looked at the reaction of the people below, he couldn't help but feel excited inside. It seemed that his medicine pill was indeed very popular.

Then Lin Shu uncovered the red cloth on the tray with his hand, revealing a jade bottle to everyone's eyes, and spoke in a voice filled with allure:

"This is a bottle of Zengyuan Pills, and it's a genuine Supreme Quality Medicine Pill, verified personally by an alchemist of Grade Eight. The grade of this pill has even reached the peak of Grade Nine Medicine Pills!"

Then Lin Shu continued:

"Now, this bottle of Zengyuan Pills has a starting price of 4,500,000 Spirit Stones, with each bid increment being no less than 100,000 Spirit Stones. The auction begins now!"

As soon as Lin Shu finished speaking, numerous cultivators immediately began to bid:

"Five million Spirit Stones!"

"Five million two hundred thousand Spirit Stones!"

"Five million five hundred thousand Spirit Stones!"

"Six million Spirit Stones!"

...

"Seven million Spirit Stones!"

...

"Eight million Spirit Stones!"

"Ten million Spirit Stones!"

"Ten million two hundred thousand Spirit Stones!"

...

Before Lin Qi finished speaking, within a few minutes, the Supreme Zengyuan Pills originally priced at just 4,500,000 Spirit Stones had already exceeded ten million Spirit Stones. Even now, a large number of cultivators continued bidding, pushing the price of the Grade Nine Zengyuan Pills ever higher.

"Twelve million Spirit Stones!"

"Fifteen million Spirit Stones!"

...

At this moment, upon witnessing this scene, Ding Fan couldn't help but be greatly shocked. Clearly, he didn't expect his medicine pills to be so popular. Knowing this was Ding Fan's auction item, Long Ren couldn't help but feel happy for his brother's pills, and cheerfully said to his brother:

"Brother, it looks like your pills are going to set a new record, becoming the new peak of this auction!"

"Maybe..."

Though Ding Fan was clearly delighted by the words, he continued to speak with humility.
