Chapter 1354: Congratulations, Daoist Friend

Han, I know you love talent dearly, but non-members of my sect are absolutely forbidden from entering the inheritance site."Although the sect master had directly refused, Elder Han boldly retorted, "S...As soon as Jiang Yun's bid rang out, everyone's gaze immediately turned to Jiang Yun, their faces displaying a myriad of expressions.

There is surprise, disdain, a smirk, and shaking of the head.

They hadn't paid any attention to Jiang Yun's displayed cultivation level of the Heavenly Favor Fourth Realm.

Moreover, Jiang Yun never mentioned a price from beginning to end, being extremely low-key, so everyone almost forgot about his existence.

Unexpectedly, Gingercloud is now bidding on this valuable black stone.

Although 100,000 spirit stones aren't a massive fortune, it's still a considerable sum of money.

Of course, this also means that Ginger Cloud must know the origin of this stone!

Although they really hoped that Ginger Cloud would be open and honest with everyone, they also knew it was impossible.

If nobody knew the origin of the stone, no one would bother to compete with Jiangyun for it. But once its origins were known, I'm afraid some people would be unable to resist the temptation.

Even Wang Yu zhong's face showed a hint of unexpected joy. He originally thought this stone was definitely going to be auctioned off, but he didn't expect Jiang Yun to bid on it.

Although no one bid higher, this price was already a guaranteed profit in his eyes.

After a moment of silence, the hall remained eerily quiet. Just as everyone thought no one would challenge Jiang Yun, a voice suddenly rang out: "Fellow Daoist, you're being a little too petty. I'll offer 110,000!"

Jiang Yun's bid had only increased the original price by five hundred, but now someone directly raised the price by ten thousand. This naturally aroused everyone's curiosity, and they all turned to look at the person who made the bid.

At first glance, most people are stunned.

The bidder was a gaunt, middle-aged man with pale skin. Many people present knew him and called him Jiao Gu. He wasn't unknown, being an elder of a middling sect with cultivation in the middle stage of the Daoist Realm.

Wang Yuanzhong smiled faintly: "So it's Daoist Jiao. Could it be that Daoist Jiao knows this black stone"

As for Jiang Yun, Wang Yuanzhong didn't know him at all, so there were some things he couldn't say. However, he and Jiao Gu were old acquaintances, which is why he could ask this question without any politeness at the moment.

However, Jiao Gu shook his head and said, "Wang Daochang, you flatter me too much. I don't know him."

"However, since that fellow Daoist is willing to spend 100,000 spirit stones to buy it, it must be worth that price."

"As you know, I've always been interested in curious and unusual things, so I wanted to buy one to see for myself."

Although Jiao Gu's explanation seemed flawless to many, a glint of cold light flashed in Jiang Yun's eyes.

He vaguely felt that this Jiagu, seemed to be deliberately targeting him!

This also left Jiang Yun a little puzzled. He had never met this Jiao Gu before, and now it was only their first meeting, and they hadn't even exchanged a word. Why would the other party target him

However, Gingercloud wasn't afraid of such people at all. With a slight smile, she said: "Fellow Daoist, your lesson is well-received. I admit I was a bit narrow-minded. Well then, I offer 150,000 spirit stones!"

The price instantly made many people gasp in shock. Jiang Yunshen had raised the price by half.

Jiao Gu shook his head and said, "Friend, the auction price isn't determined like that. You raised the price so much at once. Besides letting everyone know you're determined to get this item, it also implies to others that you're very wealthy!"

As Jiao Gu uttered these words, many in the hall turned their gazes to Jiang Yun's, with a few harboring ill intent in their eyes.

Indeed, Jiang Yun is merely a cultivator at the fourth level of Heaven's Blessing, yet he uttered a price of 150,000 spirit stones without even twitching an eyebrow. This alone proves that Jiang Yun is incredibly wealthy and generous, a veritable fat sheep!

Facing the gazes of everyone, Jiang Yun's eyes flashed with cold light once again deep down, it was completely certain that this Jiao Gu was intentionally targeting himself.

Then Jiao Gu continued, "However, the higher the price you offer, the more peculiar this thing must be, and the more interested I become. I'll offer one hundred and sixty thousand spirit stones!"

By this time, not only Ginger Cloud but everyone else present had also mostly figured it out. Jiao Gu was clearly deliberately inflating the price of this black stone, intentionally making things difficult for Ginger Cloud.

These people are all deep thinkers, although they know this point, they naturally won't open their mouths to point it out.

Even some who had just been tempted to bid, and even those ready to make an offer, gave up their intentions. They didn't want to unnecessarily get involved in the bidding war between Jiang Yun and Jiao Gu.

Moreover, the price of 160,000 Spirit Stones reported by Jiao Gu now is already quite high, so everyone remained silent, their eyes fixed on Jiang Yun, waiting to see whether he would continue bidding or give up.

Jiang Yun's face was still smiling, looking at Jiao Gu who was also beaming. "What Daoist Jiao said is right, for this black stone, I must have it. And besides, I don't have much, just a lot of spirit stones, so, 250,000!"

This price caused Jiao Gu to be slightly taken aback, and he lowered his head as if contemplating whether to continue bidding.

But Wang Yuanzhong heard Jiao Gu's voice in his ear: "Wang Dao You, I will help you continue to raise the price of this stone. Let's fleece this fat sheep. After the deal is closed, I won't ask for much, just 10,000 spirit stones. How about it"

Wang Yuanzhong fell silent for a moment, then said, "Yes!"

The higher the price is set, the greater the commission the Wang family receives, so naturally he is delighted.

Hearing Wang Yuanzhong's agreement, Jiao Gu slowly raised his head and looked at Jiang Yun, smiling and saying: "300,000!"

As Jiao Gu's voice fell, Jiang Yun immediately nodded and said: "Good, congratulations to Dao You, this black stone is yours!"

One sentence, and the smile on Jiao Gu's face immediately froze. Everyone else present also fell silent.

Just now, regardless of his attitude or offer, Jiang Yun made it clear that he was determined to get this stone.

However, after offering 300,000 yuan in Jiaozhou, Jiang Yun unexpectedly gave up so readily!

This means Jiao Gu will have to pay 300,000 yuan to buy this black stone whose purpose is unknown!

This sudden change made everyone try hard to stifle their laughter, knowing full well that this time Jiao Gu had really shot himself in the foot and dug his own grave!

I originally wanted to play a prank on Jiang Yun, but ended up being pranked by him instead.

Jiao Gu came to his senses, looked at Jiang Yun, and with anger in his eyes, said: "You, you're done for"

Ginger nodded and said, "That's right. Although I do know what this stone can do, it's not really worth 300,000 gold coins. So it might as well be given to Daoist Jiao!"

After finishing his words, Jiang Yun closed his eyes, apparently truly giving up.

... while Jiao Gu's face turned red with anger, he glared ferociously at Jiang Yun and hurriedly sent a voice transmission to Wang Yuanzhong: "Wang Dao-friend, this, this can't count!"

Wang Yuanzhong's expression, however, turned cold as he said, "Daoist Jiao, you know the rules of our Wang family. Once a price is called out, it must be bought."

"But rest assured, according to our previous agreement, I'll give you ten thousand. You just need to pay me two hundred and ninety thousand!"

To prevent Jiao Gu from continuing to speak, Wang Yuanzhong let out a loud laugh and said: “Fellow cultivators, this auction has concluded successfully. Now, if any of you have items you wish to auction, please hand them over to me.”

Everyone's attention was naturally drawn to Wang Yuanzhong's words, and they no longer paid attention to Jiao Gu.

After a moment of silence, seven people stood up one after another and walked to Wang Yuanzhong's side, each whispering something to him through telepathy.

Gingercloud also stood up, ignoring the murderous glare Jiao Gu was sending his way, and prepared to leave.

Just then, his gaze fell upon an elderly man standing beside Wang Yuanzhong, who was just taking something out and handing it to Wang Yuanzhong.

Seeing such a thing, Ginger Cloud's eyes suddenly narrowed, and her body trembled involuntarily!
