Chapter 96: Making the He Family Explode with Anger

Well, still can't escape.

Lu Xun knew that Fu Xue wouldn't let him off so easily.

However,

She, to compete with Fu Yue, keeps staring at me, and now she still spends so much money—is it worth it?

Or, to a Six Realms great power, a few million units of Dark Energy is nothing?

Or perhaps there are other hidden circumstances here?

"Boss, aside from being a bit overbearing, this sister is actually quite nice."

Bai Ling's impression of Fu Xue is still good.

As for Fu Xue, she has already left.

It seems she came to this auction just to buy two pills for Lu Xun as a meeting gift.

This meeting gift, placed in the whole of Peking University, is extremely shocking.

Which instructor's meeting gift directly throws out over eight million units of Dark Energy?

Fortunately, this time Fu Xue promised to let Lu Xun roam free, so he reluctantly accepted.

Thus, Lu Xun became a rare student at North Dipper University who has two instructors.

"Teacher, how could she..."

In the distance, Liu Xinghe felt extremely awful.

He didn't know what Fu Xue said to Lu Xun.

But he saw Fu Xue give the pills she had bought to Lu Xun.

This made him extremely jealous.

After Fu Xue took him as her disciple, she showed no reaction.

Now she actually spent a lot of money to buy pills and give them to Lu Xun!

This made Liu Xinghe jealous to the point of grinding his teeth.

The outstanding Liu family genius, possessor of the Star Saint Body, also handsome in appearance—what aspect of him doesn't surpass Lu Xun?

Lu Xun just cultivates quickly, but he practices dual cultivation of immortal and martial arts, which will eventually cause problems.

"This time, I will definitely take first place!"

At this moment, Liu Xinghe's resolve became extremely strong.

The auction continued.

"Six million."

The He family head shouted a high price, wanting to contend for a third-grade Yuan Nourishing Pill.

The price of Yuan Nourishing Pills is not as high as that of Secret Aperture Pills, which aid in breaking through realms.

This price is already considered huge today; after hesitating, the head of a major clan competing with him gave up.

The He family head seized the pill, elated and full of ambition.

With this saint-grade Yuan Nourishing Pill, He Huan hopes to break through to the Fourth Realm before the assessment and vie for first place.

"Hah."

Lu Xun noticed this scene and gave a cold smile.

His pills—does the He family want to buy them?

No way!

"Six million once, six million twice, six million three times..."

On the auction stage, Xie Yuyan was about to strike the hammer when a voice suddenly came through her earpiece.

Her expression changed slightly, then quickly returned to normal.

"Sorry, customer number 128, the seller clearly stated that today's pills are not sold to you. Customer number 208, do your previous bid of 5.5 million still count?"

After Xie Yuyan apologized to the He family head, she asked the head of the major clan who had just been bidding.

"Of course it counts."

That major clan head quickly replied.

Just now he and the He family head had bid against each other, getting heated, but he never expected the seller would refuse to sell to the He family head.

He naturally wanted to cooperate, to anger the He family head.

"How could this happen!"

"Who is this seller, and on what grounds do they refuse to sell to us!"

The He family people were both bewildered and furious.

They were about to get the pill, but then the other party refused to sell!

They even explicitly refused to sell!

The He family people instantly became a laughingstock.

You know, everyone present today is a prominent family from the East; to make such a huge blunder before so many families, the He family's face has been thrown all the way to their grandmother's house.

"Damn it!"

The He family head's face darkened, his eyes flashing with anger.

However, in such a setting, his anger, no matter how great, is useless.

The Divine State Auction House, as the largest auction house in the East, nevertheless shows no deference to his He family.

As for the person behind the saint-grade pill, even with the He family's capabilities, it's hard to investigate.

The Divine State Auction House's confidentiality work is extremely thorough; as long as the seller is unwilling, no one can find out the seller's identity.

The auction continued.

Origin-Nourishing Pills, Qi-Supplementing Pills, one after another kept being bought by different families.

The prices of the later pills kept dropping, yet they all stayed around three to four million.

The first one was the highest, because no one was sure whether there would be a second.

Seeing other families snag them, yet they refused to sell to them, the He family's faces turned as ugly as possible.

Especially He Huan.

Among the other families that bought them, several families' descendants were all his rivals.

He had been leading, but now they possessed a Saint-Rank Origin-Nourishing Pill, making it very likely they could catch up.

This made He Huan feel terrible.

"Next up is the finale of this auction, a Fourth-Rank Spirit-Tranquil Pill!"

The main event is here.

The auction's only Fourth-Rank Saint-Rank pill was brought onto the stage.

"Wow!"

"It's actually a Spirit-Tranquil Pill!"

"Great!"

Below, families with Immortal Cultivation descendants all showed delight.

Those whose descendants were Martial Cultivators, however, felt some disappointment.

Because the Spirit-Tranquil Pill is used to help third-realm Immortal Cultivators break through.

The fourth realm of Immortal Cultivation is the Spirit-Tranquil Realm.

In this realm, spiritual power becomes completely liquid, while the sea of consciousness is opened, greatly enhancing divine sense.

Even a genius would need to put in effort to turn mist-like spiritual power into liquid form and open the sea of consciousness.

If one had a Saint-Rank Spirit-Tranquil Pill, it would be much easier.

"Spirit-Tranquil Pill... Second Uncle, quickly think of a way!"

He Huan pleaded with the He family patriarch.

His cultivation had reached the peak of the third realm; using an Origin-Nourishing Pill only gave a certain chance to break through.

But if he had a Saint-Rank Spirit-Tranquil Pill, the chance to break through to the fourth realm would exceed ninety percent!

The He family patriarch's face fluctuated between gloom and sunny; logically, after such a great humiliation, they should turn and leave.

But for He Huan's sake, the patriarch stubbornly endured.

Suddenly, he thought of a method, took out his phone and sent a message.

Not far away, a family patriarch made eye contact with the He family patriarch and then gave an OK sign.

Yes, the He family patriarch had asked the other to help bid.

"Two million!"

"Three million!"

"Five million!"

As soon as the auction began, the price shot up wildly.

Fourth-Rank medicinal pills are inherently expensive.

Like the Spirit-Tranquil Pill, which aids breakthroughs, even a Heaven-Rank one usually sells for at least fifty thousand units of Dark Energy.

If it is some rare Fourth-Rank pill, the price is even higher.

By contrast, Fourth-Rank pills that boost cultivation speed or add a few months of cultivation are not that expensive.

Because their raw materials are cultivated by many companies.

If it is a Fourth-Rank Heart-Demon Pill, which suppresses heart demons, its raw materials are hard to find on Lan Xing, so the price is high, often selling for several million units of Dark Energy or more.

This Fourth-Rank Saint-Rank Spirit-Tranquil Pill, Lu Xun spent over ten thousand units of Dark Energy just to buy its raw materials.

Normally, selling it for two million units of Dark Energy would be the limit.

Now, however, it kept rising, quickly breaking through the eight-million mark.

"Ten million!"

A family patriarch pushed the price even higher.

"Twelve million!"

Another family patriarch, unwilling to be outdone, directly added two million.

"Thirteen million!"

"Fourteen million!"

These two family patriarchs were locked in a fierce contest.

"Damn it!"

Jia Yuyi was very gloomy.

These big families getting involved, she wanted to buy the Spirit-Tranquil Pill for research, which would cost a lot.

Recently, she had just been swindled by Lu Xun at Beidou University out of over sixteen million units of Dark Energy.

If she spent too much again in a short time, other shareholders would likely object.

So Jia Yuyi could only glumly give up.

"It's all Lu Xun's fault!"

She glared at Lu Xun resentfully again.

That glare only made her angrier.

Because Lu Xun glared back even more fiercely.

Jia Yumei felt wronged, about to cry!

This Lu Xun, doesn't he know how to be tender and considerate?

Finally, the price of the fourth-grade saint-rank Spirit Quiet Pill stopped at fifteen million.

"Fifteen million once, fifteen million twice..."

Seeing a family head give up, Xie Yuyan began the bidding countdown.

At that moment, a voice sounded again in her earpiece.

Xie Yuyan frowned slightly.

The backstage told her that Lu Xun wanted her to reject the buyer again.

At the auction, refusing a buyer is very impolite and will offend the buyer.

Such a thing has rarely happened in the history of the Shenzhou Auction House.

After all, the one paying is the old sir.

But this auction is different; the one-of-a-kind saint-rank pill is only in Lu Xun's possession.

So, even if Lu Xun refuses to sell again, Xie Yuyan still has to cooperate.

"Sorry, customer number 354, since you're bidding on behalf of customer number 128, the seller explicitly said they won't sell to you."

Xie Yuyan forced herself to apologize.

"Did he see through it?"

Xie Yuyan's words made the He family head's old face flush red.

He never expected that, having someone else bid for him, he would actually be seen through by the seller!

The people around looked over again, each with gloating in their eyes.

"Damn it!"

He Huan's face turned grim, and the other He family members weren't much better.

Each of them was so angry they felt like bursting where they stood.
