Chapter 115: Why Does She Keep Staring at Me?

Luo Yingying's voice was like the tinkling of a spring, extremely pleasant to the ear: "The starting price is up to you!"

"Let us begin with number one, everyone please place your bids!"

No sooner had the words fallen than someone shouted: "Ten thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones!"

"Fifty thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones!"

"One hundred thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones!"

The sound of bidding rose and fell, showing just how sought-after number one was.

The price quickly reached five hundred thousand Spirit Stones, and it still hadn't stopped.

Lu Tianyu sighed inwardly.

This Liuli Sect really knew how to do business; by putting the most eye-catching woman first, the price was driven up immediately.

This way, the prices of the items auctioned later wouldn't be low either; how could doing business like this not be profitable?

And at this moment, number one's water-like eyes looked toward Lu Tianyu once again, making no effort to hide her admiration.

Lu Tianyu's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself that things were bad.

You can look at others, so why do you keep staring at me?

Do you think I will definitely bid for you?

Sure enough.

As the gaze of the number one woman shifted, countless pairs of malicious eyes looked over in unison, like sharp arrows.

These arrows, carrying coldness, killing intent, and threats, landed one after another on Lu Tianyu's body.

Moreover, these people were all men.

Especially Tian Shiguang, whose eyes were filled with disdain and killing intent as he looked at Lu Tianyu.

The implication was that whether he bid or not, he would kill him; this woman was ultimately his.

The silver-robed man at seat number four had a smile on his face the whole time, and now that smile grew even deeper.

The bearded man at seat number three, and the pot-bellied, obese man at seat number five.

Even the cold-as-frost woman in golden armor looked at Lu Tianyu with a slightly surprised expression.

A strange look appeared in Guo Zhuying's cold eyes, and she focused her attention on the woman.

She was very puzzled; with so many men at the scene, why did this woman happen to take a fancy to Lu Tianyu?

This was just too strange!

She knew Lu Tianyu had no intention of bidding, but at this moment, she gritted her teeth and made a decision.

Lu Tianyu was instantly stunned.

He thought to himself, don't look at me, I have no intention of bidding.

Even if you keep looking at me, I won't bid.

But from the woman's eyes, he read meanings of longing, a plea for help, and helplessness.

Yet despite this, he still wouldn't bid.

Just at this moment, the voice of the Qian Gu Empress rang out in Lu Tianyu's mind: "Husband, this woman possesses a Spirit-Sensitive Body. A Spirit-Sensitive Body is one in a billion; you must take her in."

"A woman with a Spirit-Sensitive Body has spirit-sight, spirit-hearing, spirit-smell, and spirit-touch; she has a super-strong perception of any object or person in the outside world."

"Look closely, she has even developed faint Heavenly Eye Patterns at the corners of her brows, and a Heaven-Reaching Pattern on her forehead; if you don't look carefully, you won't see them at all."

Lu Tianyu poured his Divine Sense into looking intently, and sure enough, at the corners of the woman's eyes, an inch above her brows, he saw naturally formed mysterious patterns.

He couldn't help but be greatly shocked.

Someone with naturally formed mysterious patterns must be a person of exceptional talent; he didn't know why this woman had been brought onto the stage to be auctioned.

The Qian Gu Empress's voice sounded again: "She has a super-strong ability to perceive paranormal phenomena and the surrounding situation, and many other abilities you cannot imagine."

"She can foresee the future; she keeps staring at you because she must feel that your future is bright, and only you can bring her a sense of security."

"This woman can be taken as a follower, but not as a Dao Companion; it would not be good for anyone, including her, so remember that."

"Place your bid, you must win this woman; the treasures in the Phoenix Ring I gave you can be used to offset the Spirit Stones."

Lu Tianyu took a deep breath, met the woman's expectant gaze, and prepared to bid.

But at this moment, the bidding for this woman had already surpassed one million Spirit Stones, and it was still skyrocketing.

Just as he was about to speak, Guo Zhuying beside him spoke up: "One medium-grade spirit vein!"

Lu Tianyu was instantly dumbfounded.

Why did this woman bid? Could it be that she also saw something?

But Guo Zhuying's next words left him speechless: "Don't worry, I'm bidding on your behalf; I have no use for it."

"When a man should act, he must act; a clear state of mind is beneficial for cultivation."

Guo Zhuying's gaze was clear, without any impurities.

Lu Tianyu nodded: "Many thanks."

He intended to explain later.

Once Guo Zhuying placed her bid, she immediately replaced Lu Tianyu as the target of everyone's hostility.

The men all looked at Guo Zhuying in confusion, not knowing why this woman had acted; could it be some alternative preference?

Or was this woman acting out of jealousy, feeling unbalanced seeing another woman being bid on by men, and thus making a move?

Everyone fell silent!

This price was too high; it wasn't worth it to bid any higher.

However, some who had just learned of Guo Zhuying's identity vaguely guessed that she might be bidding for the man beside her.

It seemed this Saintess of the Tianshan Sect really liked this man; perhaps she bought her to please him.

Luo Yingying's face instantly blossomed with joy.

The bids from the crowd exceeded her expectations.

She had originally thought fifty thousand Spirit Stones was the limit, and that there would be no more surprises.

Now, this woman had directly bid one Medium-grade Spirit Vein and one hundred thousand Medium-grade Spirit Stones, equivalent to ten million Low-grade Spirit Stones.

In one stroke, she had raised the original price tenfold.

To secure the ten million Spirit Stones, Luo Yingying spoke up: "One Medium-grade Spirit Vein, going once!"

"One Medium-grade Spirit Vein, going twice!"

"One Medium-grade Spirit Vein, three..."

Before the word "times" could be spoken, someone interrupted: "One Medium-grade Spirit Vein, plus one High-grade Spirit Stone."

A High-grade Spirit Stone is a top-tier Spirit Stone; different places call them by different names.

Swish, swish, swish~

Everyone looked over in unison, only to see Tian Shiguang smiling at Guo Zhuying, his gaze sinister and meaningful.

At the same time, he used his peripheral vision to watch Lu Tianyu, observing his reaction.

"You!"

Guo Zhuying was slightly angry, but she still spoke: "One Medium-grade Spirit Vein, plus two High-grade Spirit Stones."

She knew that this would lead to a contest with Tian Shiguang, and it might result in a long standoff.

However, since she had already spoken, she could not stop.

Sure enough, as soon as Guo Zhuying's voice fell, Tian Shiguang's voice followed: "One Medium-grade Spirit Vein, plus two High-grade Spirit Stones and one Low-grade Spirit Stone."

His face was filled with a faint smile, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.

The meaning was: come on, let's add them one by one, take our time, there is plenty of time.

Guo Zhuying gritted her teeth: "One Medium-grade Spirit Vein, plus three High-grade Spirit Stones."

Tian Shiguang immediately chimed in: "One Medium-grade Spirit Vein, plus three High-grade Spirit Stones and one Low-grade Spirit Stone."

No matter how you increase it, I will just have one more Low-grade Spirit Stone than you.

Even if you bid one Top-grade Spirit Vein, I will only add one Low-grade Spirit Stone.

Guo Zhuying snorted coldly and was about to speak, but was stopped by Lu Tianyu.

Lu Tianyu shook his head at Guo Zhuying, then spoke: "One Medium-grade Spirit Vein, plus four High-grade Spirit Stones."

He did not look at Tian Shiguang, but instead looked at the woman on the stage.

Coincidentally, the woman also looked over.
