Chapter 336: Association Elder

Liang Xu saw Lin Yang and stopped following; his face looked a bit grim.

Thirty million to buy a Blood Ruyi—if his family found out, he'd surely get a scolding.

He still didn't forget to mock Lin Yang.

"Lin Yang, it's only thirty million—why aren't you following?"

"Are you out of money?"

"That's right, you can only sponge off others and swindle a little money."

Hearing Liang Xu's words, Lin Yang smiled slightly and said.

"Thirty million for a Blood Ruyi—Young Master Liang, you really have more money than brains."

"I'm not like you—I have money, but I'm not stupid."

That remark drew a burst of laughter from the crowd.

To them, spending thirty million on a Blood Ruyi was clearly foolish.

Hearing their laughter, Liang Xu's face looked very grim.

He snorted, sat down, and stopped bothering himself.

After Liang Xu paid, the auction continued.

Lin Yang wasn't interested in several of the auction items.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the next item is extremely rare."

Amid everyone's anticipation, the host clapped his hands.

The attendant below came up holding a wooden box.

When the wooden box opened, nine crystal-clear pearls appeared before everyone.

Looking at the nine pearls, someone asked.

"Are these diamonds?"

The host laughed and said, "These aren't diamonds, but they're worth more than diamonds."

"These Profound Yin Pearls can be used by Xuánmén Persons in their cultivation."

"Ordinary people who carry them are guaranteed to be free from evil intrusion."

Hearing the host's words, everyone began to get excited.

"Whether for Xuánmén Persons or ordinary folks, these are great things."

Lin Yang gazed at the Profound Yin Pearls, and the corners of his mouth turned up.

"These pearls usually come from places of extreme yin, and they work similarly to what he previously refined."

"However, natural Profound Yin Pearls have better effects."

"The starting bid for this is zero—feel free to bid as you wish."

"Such a fine item, the auction house isn't worried about failing to get a high price."

As expected, right after the host finished, someone shouted.

"I bid six million."

"I bid eight million."

"I bid twelve million."

"What wealthy people care about is their own health."

"As long as it doesn't affect their normal lives, why wouldn't they buy a Profound Yin Pearl?"

At that moment, Lin Yang spoke up.

"I bid thirty million."

As soon as Lin Yang spoke, many turned to look.

"This guy just swindled Liang Xu earlier, and now he's bidding again."

And when Lin Yang spoke, Liang Xu and Bai Zhanfei both looked over.

They snorted coldly, thinking they absolutely could not let Lin Yang easily obtain the Profound Yin Pearl.

So, the two of them also placed bids.

"I bid forty million."

"I bid forty-five million."

After Bai Zhanfei spoke, Liang Xu frowned and looked at him.

Seeing Liang Xu looking at him, Bai Zhanfei smiled and said.

"Young Master Liang, don't be angry—I'm not targeting you, I just dislike that guy named Lin Yang."

"He just bragged in front of me, saying he's not short of money."

"I want to see whether he really isn't short of money."

Hearing Bai Zhanfei's words, Liang Xu also smiled slightly and said.

"Brother, I've also disliked him for a while."

"Let's bully him together."

The two exchanged a glance and a smile, as if they had reached an agreement.

Lin Yang also couldn't be bothered to care whether they had reached an agreement.

"Eighty million."

Lin Yang's remark caused an uproar.

That raised the bid by over thirty million.

"What does it mean to be filthy rich!"

This is what being wealthy and imposing looks like!

Thinking about this, everyone wanted to get to know Lin Yang.

After all, being friends with such a wealthy person might someday help in business.

Lin Yang's words made Liang Xu and Bai Zhanfei's smiles stiffen.

He just raised it by 35 million; they dare not follow.

Moreover, they don't have that much money on them!

To add would be close to a hundred million—that's no small amount!

Liang Xu's eyes shifted, and he said to Bai Zhanfei.

「Young Master Bai, I know the Bai family isn't short of money; you can't let him bluff like this—come up with more money quickly. 」

Hearing Liang Xu's words, Bai Zhanfei cursed him inwardly.

Is this something a person would say?

To spend your own money to hit Lin Yang's face—and it's nearly a hundred million!

Just as Lin Yang said, he has money, but he's not stupid.

He gave Liang Xu a smile that didn't reach his eyes and said.

「The Liang family is wealthy—what's a hundred million? That's no problem. 」

「I dare say, if you put up a hundred million, he definitely wouldn't dare to follow! 】

Liang Xu gave a dry laugh and didn't continue the conversation.

Lin Yang smiled and said to the two of them.

「Gentlemen, why aren't you bidding? 」

Upon hearing that, both let out a snort.

Just when everyone thought the Profound Yin Pearl would finally be bought by Lin Yang for eighty million.

A deep, resonant voice sounded.

「I bid eighty-five million. 」

Upon hearing that, Liang Xu looked at the old man beside him.

The old man wore a green robe, his hair was graying, but his complexion was very ruddy.

His sudden outburst caused many people to murmur.

As Lin Yang was about to raise the bid again, the old man suddenly spoke.

「I am Shu Tianqi, an elder of the Xuánmén (Mysterious Gate) Association. 」

「I hope you, young friend, will give me face and hand this over. 」

「Of course, I won't treat you poorly. 」

「I will give you a talisman after the auction ends that will keep you safe. 」

Upon hearing that, Ding Biao felt his heart tighten and said to Lin Yang.

「Mr. Lin, this Elder Shu is over seventy, but his temper is still very explosive. 」

「It's best not to offend someone like that! 」

Don't offend?

Lin Yang laughed and asked, 'Why shouldn't we offend?'

「Haven't I already thoroughly offended the people of the Xuánmén (Mysterious Gate) Association? 」

Upon hearing that, Ding Biao was momentarily speechless.

Yeah, they've already offended the Xuánmén (Mysterious Gate) Association people—why bother caring?

Everyone saw Lin Yang remain silent for a long time and thought he was scared.

Shu Tianqi smiled smugly: 'In all of Jinling, who isn't afraid of a Xuánmén (Mysterious Gate) Association elder?'

Let alone a greenhorn kid.

Liang Xu and Bai Zhanfei both looked at Lin Yang with mocking smiles.

Weren't you just feeling proud? Now you're scared upon meeting a Xuánmén (Mysterious Gate) elder.

Just when everyone thought the ownership of the Profound Yin Pearl was settled, Lin Yang spoke up.

「I bid one hundred million. 」

Lin Yang's sudden outburst caused an uproar at the auction.

Even after Shu Tianqi revealed his identity, Lin Yang still dared to raise the bid!

Is he provoking Shu Tianqi?

Upon hearing that, Liu Yan tightly furrowed her brows.

How did Lin Yang end up opposing a Xuánmén (Mysterious Gate) elder? Keep.

No matter how capable he is, could he possibly be more formidable than the elder of the Xuánmén (Mysterious Gate) Association?

Translation: "No matter how capable he is, can he really be more formidable than a Xuánmén (Mysterious Gate) Association elder?" Keep.

Just as she was about to speak up to persuade him, Shu Tianqi rose to his feet and spoke in a low voice.

Translation: "Just as she was about to speak to advise him, Shu Tianqi stood up and said in a deep voice:" Keep.

Young man, you'd better think it over.

Translation: "\"Young friend, you'd better think it through. \"" Keep.

If you don't show me respect, you're showing no respect to the Xuánmén (Mysterious Gate) Association.

Translation: "\"If you don't give me face, you're not giving the Xuánmén (Mysterious Gate) Association face. \"" Keep.

Do you realize what doing this means?

Translation: "\"Do you know what doing this means? \""

Lin Yang nodded and said, "Of course I know—it means the Xuan Yin Pearl is now mine."

Translation: "Lin Yang nodded and said: \"Of course I know—it means the Mysterious Yin Pearl is mine. \"" Keep.
