Bid?

Be the sucker?

Luo Chen sneered in his heart.

“No thank you, I’d rather not step into this muddy water.”

“But, don’t you want to stay in the Taishan District?

Luo Chen hesitated for a moment before deciding to be frank.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Actually, not really.”

“Huh?”

In the Li Family’s private room, a look of surprise appeared on Li Yixian’s face.

“Why?”

“Do you really want to stay here? Stay in a marketplace that the Kang Family has been running for hundreds of years? Stay in a place where power changes hands and the new commander, regardless of strength or background, is extremely formidable? I’m afraid that in a few years, they’ll swallow everything

up.”

Li Yixian frowned, “But…”

“There’s no ‘but’. Perhaps you are thinking of your family and are looking for a safe place to thrive without too much strife. However, my heart is set on The Great Dao Path, and here there is only one Second Order Spirit Vein that is being split between two families.

Finally, Luo Chen sent a sentence their way.

“If you want to fight, I won’t mind lending you ten thousand.”

After his words fell, there was silence for a long time.

Only the increasingly strained bidding echoing in the palace hall could be heard.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Huo Hu smilingly listened to the bids from both sides.

Even if there was a long pause between bids, he never said anything about the

first or second time.

However, he looked at the private rooms of the Luo Tian Creed and the Li Family with a somewhat unhappy expression.

They were not giving him face!

With two families out of the bidding, the atmosphere was not lively enough!

Inside the Li Family’s private room.

Li Yixian kept wanting to bid, to participate in the auction.

However, she kept recalling Luo Chen’s words.

From a family’s standpoint, Taishan District seemed to be a safe place for steady growth, but in the long run, it was not.

After all, once the Yu Ding Sword Pavilion left, there would be no relative major power to maintain a balance.

The Huo Family, as the local hegemon, would sooner or later be intolerant of other family powers.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Perhaps the Kang Family and Yu Family, old friends, could still bear it, but the

newcomers…

And from a personal standpoint, she also felt that not having a Second Order Spirit Land was indeed a hindrance to her cultivation.

In the end, she resignedly gave up bidding for the Xuanhuo Sword.

At the moment she gave up.

The auction in the field had been silent for a long time.

The price stopped at the eighty-three thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones that Wang Haichao had bid.

Nangong Jin had a bitter look on his face; he couldn’t continue bidding.

This had already exceeded the Nangong Family’s limit.

If he continued, the entire family wouldn’t be able to bear it.

However, failing the bid also meant losing the opportunity to stay in Taishan District.

Looking back at the several Ninth Level Qi Refinement Cultivators of the Nangong Family who had followed him, he let out a sigh.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Perhaps we’ll have to wander again.”

And on Wang Haichao’s side, his face was equally gloomy.

Eighty-three thousand!

Buying a mediocre Lower Grade Magic Item Flying Sword, that was really overpaying.

He was probably being regarded as a fool by all the Foundation Establishment Stage friends in the field right now!

“Nangong Jin!”

“You’re too despicable!”

“Didn’t you promise to be a spectator?”

The three Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators in The Great River

District were not in a good mood at the moment.

However, the auction site was already in an uproar.

A common Lower Grade Magic Item was auctioned for eighty-three thousand, which genuinely shocked these unsophisticated rogue cultivators.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Surely, that should be the price of defense magic items or strange door magic items, right?

In the midst of the uproar.

Gradually, some people began to understand.

This was the Foundation Establishment True Cultivators giving face to the Huo Family!

Luo Chen watched this farcical scene calmly.

Nangong Jin was clearly no match for Wang Haichao.

When the latter left The Great River District, he extracted a hefty fare from the rogue cultivators for boat tickets.

Fifty pieces per boat ticket!

Back then, two to three thousand people got on the boat.

That was a huge amount of money!

And all of it was in Wang Haichao’s hands. Nangong Jin was hampered by his family, how could he compete with that!

“Master!”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Suddenly, a voice rang out beside him.

Luo Chen turned his head to see Qu Lingjun waking up from the shock.

But in his eyes, there was still a look of confusion.

“What’s the matter?”

Qu Lingjun asked with a bewildered expression, “Why would Gang Master Wang want to spend so much money on this magic item? I heard people say that this magic item doesn’t really suit him!

Luo Chen gave a small smile, “Because he wants to stay in Taishan District!” “Why does he want to stay in Taishan District so badly?” Qu Lingjun was still confused, “I heard from Aunt Gu that he made over a hundred thousand spirit stones. Wouldn’t it be better for him to take that money and go cultivate diligently in a Second Order Spirit Land?

Luo Chen paused, a hint of confusion spreading across his face.

A hundred thousand might be an exaggeration. To fill the stomach of the River- Swallowing Toad, he shared a large amount of spirit stones with the two major families for purchasing spirit beasts.

But the rest should still total about a hundred and twenty thousand.

With such a huge amount of money, wouldn’t he be comfortable and at ease anywhere?

“Hehe…”

A gentle laugh rang out.

It was Wang Yuan.

However, the gentle laugh gradually turned into a scornful one.

“Some people change! It’s as simple as that.”

“Changed?”

Qu Lingjun was still confused, his eyes full of curiosity as he looked at Wang Yuan.

He didn’t notice Luo Chen next to him, who looked startled and disturbed.

That’s right!

Wang Haichao had changed!

Wang Yuan shot Luo Chen a glance, then asked Qu Lingjun casually, “Why do rogue cultivators form forces outside of the Immortal Cultivation Clans and Sects?”

Qu Lingjun answered as if it were a matter of course: “Of course it’s to make use of an abundant labor force to collect cultivation resources!”

This is why all Foundation Establishment Stage Rogue Cultivators put so much effort into forming forces.

Wang Yuan nodded, then said, “But when a person gets used to being the center of attention, used to holding power over life and death, used to commanding hundreds of cultivators – can he get used to taking the abundant resources and hiding in a quiet Immortal Mansion or deep mountain for cultivation?’
