Translator: Sissy That Walk
Li Xiuchen was desperately depressed. He had been staying in the bathtub for two days, even having meals there, but he didn’t see any sign of a beauty falling from above. On the last day, he began to curse the god. In the room next door, however, Luo Jianqing was overjoyed at Li Xiuchen’s depression.
On the third day, Li Xiuchen had to attend that auction.
The book only wrote that Li Xiuchen attended the auction held in Yun State just for fun, and “saved” Yunxiang without much extra effort. But Luo Jianqing didn’t expect that the auction was so magnificent, which was not detailed in the book.
Of course, Li Xiuchen got several real treasures among worthless things at the auction, which was elaborated in the book, while other meaningless things were omitted. This time, Luo Jianqing had received the invitation from Fo Zi long ago and decided to go to the box of Gui Yuan Sect to attend the auction with him.
Hardly had Li Xiuchen left the lodge when Luo Jianqing left the tailor shop.
Watching Li Xiuchen’s receding figure, Luo Jiangqing turned to the lodge. He suddenly recalled, “I heard in my previous life that Li Xiuchen lost his beloved girl. That’s why he practiced harder? To bring her back to life?”
After a careful thought, Luo Jianqing still failed to recall any details.
It didn’t take long before Luo Jianqing got to the auction ahead of Li Xiuchen. Luo Jianqing wore a silver mask and showed his invitation to two Foundation Establishment cultivators at the entrance, who let him in immediately.
Soon, he entered the box of Gui Yuan Sect and saw Fo Zi already sitting there.
Fo Zi was baffled by his silver mask.
Luo Jianqing explained, “It can help me avoid troubles sometimes.”
Fo Zi smiled and nodded, “Yes, your handsome face really needs a mask to avoid troubles.”
Luo Jianqing sat down and said, “I thought you didn’t care about people’s appearance.”
Fo Zi shook his head, “Appearance is closely related to the mind. You have been well-known in the world, but you never avoid talking about your appearance, so why should I? Besides, you can look beyond the appearance and focus on your mind, that’s why you are able to forge a karma with Buddha.”
Luo Jianqing couldn’t restrain his smile and realized that he befriended a brilliant man.
They sat in the box and soon Luo Jianqing saw Li Xiuchen coming to the hall on the first floor and sitting on a public seat. He gave some casual looks at Li Xiuchen and then proceeded his talk with Fo Zi about the Buddhist scriptures and doctrines.
Fo Zi was also quite willing to discuss these things with Luo Jianqing. They chatted vigorously until the start of the auction.
At the same time, fifty thousand kilometers away from them, on Tai Hua Mountain.
Xuan Lingzi had cultivated indoor and rested for several days. Now, his injured primordial life finally recovered. The surging Spiritual Power formed a vortex on the top of Yu Xiao Peak. Xuan Lingzi opened his eyes and dissipated the vortex with a wave, and then stood up.
Dressed in the plainest white clothes without any fancy patterns, Xuan Lingzi still looked handsome and attractive. He came to his bookshelf and began to look for something. He swept his long finger through these books and suddenly, he stopped.
His nice eyebrows slightly knitted as he quickly took out a book that he had never seen.
“Spring Breeze Stroke Record?”
Xuan Lingzi looked down with an indifferent face and opened this book. Then…
“!”
Xuan Lingzi had always been strict with himself. He knew most ways of practicing and all the cultivating methods of seven peaks in Tai Hua Mountain. But before that, he had even not known the Couple Cultivation, so he had obeyed the rules and principles strictly.
Besides, in his mind, the Couple Cultivation was not a special thing, no more than a way of practicing for disciples. That was why he had asked Luo Jianqing “Do you know what Couple Cultivation is?” and then directly demonstrated it himself.
Of course, that attempt also gave Xuan Lingzi a stir.
Although only one third of his primordial life entered Luo Jianqing’s body and integrated with him, Xuan Lingzi’s belief in Dao had already been shaken and he couldn’t forget that subtle feeling for whole night. What if his primordial life completely entered Luo Jianqing’s body and integrated with him? Xuan Lingzi had imagined that kind of feeling.
However, all of these were far less shocking than this book, Spring Breeze Stroke Record.
Luo Jianqing had no idea what Xuan Lingzi had gone through. He had completely forgotten that he had put an obscene book on his master’s shelf. At this moment, the auction had started. Luo Jianqing sat in the box and looked calmly at the participants sitting on the public seats, who were busy making bids.
At first, the auctioned objects were just ordinary things, which might be attractive for rouge cultivators, yet far from satisfactory for Luo Jianqing and Fo Zi.
Luo Jianqing just watched the first dozen of objects being sold, without making any bid.
On the stage, a young auctioneer awkwardly looked at a box that was just presented to him, and then he smiled, “The next treasure is an interspatial ring, which was found on the edge of the darkest land. It has been examined by the elder of our Liu Yun Chamber of Commerce. This ring is part of a whole set of powerful magic instruments. If all the instruments are collected, the effect will be multiplied! It can accommodate things of 1000 cubic meters. The price will start from 30,000!”
“30,000!” Somebody shouted as the auctioneer stopped speaking.
“32,000!”
“33,000!”
Even if the story about the ring was true, it was extremely hard to collect all the instruments.
Double instruments, double effect, it was a common sense. But it was not so easy to collect a whole set of powerful instruments, and that was why not so many participants were enthusiastic about this ring.
When the bid reached 50,000, the auction fell into silence.
The auctioneer began to hype again, “As long as you collect all the powerful instruments, it is at least an Earth Level serie!”
“52,000”, another bid came. The auctioneer thought that would be the final bid, so he began to count down. “60,000!” An unexpected bid shocked everyone.
Many people looked at that boy with a strange look and murmured, “An interspatial ring with a storage of 1000 cubic-meter is not worth of 60,000. He can get one with utmost 40,000 in other shops. Stupid lad.”
The auctioneer’s eyes shined, and he asked, “Any other bid?”
No response, of course.
In the hall, Li Xiuchen was waiting for the countdown confidently. However, just as the auctioneer said “60,000, for the first time”, a voice from the second-floor box came. It was low but clear, with an obvious smiling tone,
“70,000!”
