Chapter 286 The Shock of the Nascent Soul Ancestor
Chapter 286 The Shock of the Nascent Soul Ancestor
Someone actually bid against Shi Potian, raising the price to 50,000 top-grade spirit stones per piece?
Everyone was startled and turned to look in the direction of the sound.
"Master, you've arrived?"
Li Ruoyun of the Luoyun Sect blurted out.
It turned out that he was an old Taoist priest, the Grand Elder of the Luoyun Sect, and also Li Ruoyun's master.
Did the Grand Elder of the Luoyun Sect participate in the bidding?
Everyone turned to look at the old Taoist priest, since it had been disciples from various sects bidding all along.
"Fifty-one thousand top-grade spirit stones per piece!"
Shi Potian glanced at the old Taoist priest Zhang Guangwen and continued to raise the price.
"Fifty-two thousand dollars!"
Zhang Guangwen matched the price without hesitation.
"Fifty-three thousand yuan!"
Shi Potian was not to be outdone!
"Fifty-four thousand yuan!"
"Fifty-five thousand yuan!"
"Fifty-six thousand yuan!"
……
In the blink of an eye, the price reached 58,000 yuan.
Even Shen Rugo was greatly surprised by this.
Clearly, this old Taoist priest was not an ordinary sect disciple, but a Nascent Soul cultivator who was also competing for her top-grade level four rune.
However, Shen Rugo was overjoyed.
This would not only drive up the price, but also prevent Shi Potian from buying them all.
If Shi Potian cannot buy them all, the runes will naturally fall into the hands of other sects and be given to their talented disciples to take into the secret realm.
This would cause Wu Xuemei great trouble and ruin her conspiracy!
"Sixty thousand yuan, this is my final offer, Shi Potian. If you raise the price again, these runes are yours!"
Zhang Guangwen's face turned red as he quoted a price.
He didn't expect Shi Potian to give him no face at all and to confront him head-on.
After all, he was the Grand Elder of the Luoyun Sect, whose status in the sect was second only to the Supreme Elders and the Sect Leader.
"Sixty-one thousand yuan!"
Before Zhang Guangwen could finish speaking, Shi Potian added another thousand yuan without hesitation.
This made Zhang Guangwen even more embarrassed.
Everyone was greatly astonished. Even though Shi Potian was a genius disciple of Lingxiao Pavilion, this was going too far, especially since Zhang Guangwen was an elder.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Zhang, I have no choice but to buy these runes."
Seeing Zhang Guangwen's embarrassed expression, Shi Potian quickly clasped his hands in a fist salute, admitting that he had gone too far.
However, Wu Xuemei was standing right beside him, looking at him with admiration, so he couldn't possibly stop.
"Senior, please don't take it to heart. You have no idea how much our handsome senior brother likes and is infatuated with this beautiful young lady."
Let alone a mere 1.8 million top-grade spirit stones worth of runes, even a treasure worth 18 million top-grade spirit stones would be bought without hesitation by this senior brother.
Please don't be angry, my handsome young man wasn't targeting you, he's just too affectionate!
Shen Rugo immediately spoke up to offer advice.
The atmosphere must not be allowed to become too tense now; she still hopes someone will continue to raise the price.
However, her words only drew more disdainful looks from everyone towards Wu Xuemei.
Now everyone knows that Wu Xuemei is using her beauty to get Shi Potian to stand up for her and spend spirit stones on her.
Even Wu Yuanshan, who was standing to the side, was given disdainful looks.
"This little bitch, I must kill her, drink all her blood, and smash her filthy mouth!"
Under everyone's gaze, Wu Xuemei felt utterly ashamed, but for the sake of these runes, she had no choice but to pretend to be completely devoted to Shi Potian.
But in her heart, she had already cursed Shen Rugo countless times.
"Who exactly is this brat with blond hair, and why is she targeting Xuemei at every turn?"
Although Wu Yuanshan did not publicly acknowledge his father-daughter relationship with Wu Xuemei, Wu Xuemei was his most beloved female disciple. The stares of others made him feel ashamed and filled him with resentment towards Shen Rugo.
Zhang Guangwen was initially both ashamed and angry, but after hearing Shen Rugo's words, he immediately felt relieved and couldn't help but laugh, "So that's how it is. Then it's really my fault for being so blind. I didn't expect that young friend Shi Potian is such a romantic. In that case, these thirty runes are yours!"
Since we can't get the runes, we might as well make a joke.
"You're quite the talker, aren't you!"
Suddenly a voice rang out, and then a figure stood in front of Shen Rugo.
Upon seeing this person, everyone involuntarily made way for him.
"Thank you for the compliment, senior! Thank you so much!"
Shen Rugo looked at the person in front of her, her heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but say something.
Although she couldn't see through this person's strength, it was clear that he was unfathomable and definitely no less powerful than Qinghe Daoist.
"You silly child, don't stand on ceremony with me. Let me ask you, is your surname Gongsun?"
The man spoke in a kind tone.
The compound surname is Gongsun?
Could it be that this little girl is a descendant of that person, the legendary first rune master of the Tianyuan Continent?
Some sect leaders or elders thought of one person.
"The compound surname is Gongsun?"
Shen Rugo blurted out, but she quickly rolled her eyes and stammered, "Senior, I'm sorry, you've mistaken me for someone else, you've mistaken me for someone else, my surname isn't Gongsun!"
"You really don't have the surname Gongsun, child?"
The man smiled as he looked at Shen Rugo's flustered appearance.
"I'm really not surnamed Gongsun, senior. I'm sorry, you've mistaken me for someone else!"
Shen Rugo instantly realized that this person was treating her as the descendant of an acquaintance of his, a Grandmaster of Runes.
Since he mistook us for someone else, let's play along and give him an ambiguous answer.
So as she explained, her face showed the panic of being exposed.
Everyone nodded in agreement. This little girl was indeed a descendant of the legendary rune master. No wonder she had such a grand gesture.
Shen Rugo didn't know about the legendary Grandmaster of Runes, but the older generation of all the major sects knew him well.
That was Gongsun Yunlong, the most outstanding sixth-level rune master in the cultivation world of Tianyuan Continent in the last few hundred years.
He went into seclusion many years ago, and no one knows where he went, nor has any of his runes been found outside.
"You silly child, if you say you're not, then you're not."
The man shook his head, but soon a powerful divine sense swept across the surrounding crowd, and he sneered, "Old man Gongsun, it's not that you've come here in person, is it? Why don't you show yourself?"
This person was none other than Wu Fangyuan, the elder of Lingxiao Pavilion.
His relationship with Gongsun Yunlong was extraordinary.
To his surprise, when he scanned the area with his divine sense, he found no suspicious person, and no one made a sound.
"You old codger, you don't want to come out and see me?"
Wu Fangyuan shook his head.
"Senior, you've really mistaken me for someone else."
"If you want runes, I have more here, thirty of them, top-grade level four runes!"
Shen Rugo chuckled inwardly, but soon she took out thirty top-grade level four runes from her pocket and handed them to Wu Fangyuan.
"Thirty more?"
Everyone stared wide-eyed at the runes in Shen Ruge's hand.
"Fine, fine, since that old bastard isn't coming out, then I'll take these thirty runes!"
Wu Fangyuan chuckled and casually tossed a storage bag to Shen Rugo.
