Chapter 553
Meeting Gift
"This...me."
Li Xiangrou looked at the precious armor he handed her and hesitated again.
I never imagined that this precious armor was a gift for me.
"Just accept it."
Ning Qi glanced at her and smiled, "I spent a lot of money to buy this for you, so don't let me down."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Li Xiangrou eventually accepted his precious armor.
The moment I got my hands on the armor, I felt a cool sensation.
However, it did not feel cold.
"That's right!"
Seeing that she accepted it, Ning Qi showed a satisfied look: "It's yours, so don't be polite."
"it is good!"
Li Xiangrou nodded slightly, a strange glint flashing in her beautiful eyes.
Then I put it away.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with gratitude.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the next item we will be auctioning is a celestial sword!"
At this point, the auctioneer spoke again.
After he said that, the men behind him brought up a long sword case.
Just by stepping onto the stage, he exudes an aura of power and intimidation.
"It is a good sword."
Ning Qi made his judgment after just one glance.
His eyes were full of curiosity: "What kind of sword could it be?"
"Is that so?"
"Perhaps I'm not good enough to see it."
Hearing his words, Li Xiangrou couldn't help but become curious as well.
However, she couldn't see anything good about the sword.
"Gentlemen, I won't go into too much detail about this sword."
"The starting price is ten million!"
At this point, the auctioneer spoke again.
"What? Only ten million? That's nothing."
"I thought it would be great!"
"That's all there is to it!"
"..."
After hearing his words, the crowd below began to discuss among themselves.
Many people showed signs of disappointment.
Clearly, there was no longer any expectation for this sword.
"Ten million spirit essences!"
Amidst the crowd's disdain, the auctioneer spoke up: "Each bid must be at least one million spirit essences!"
"Holy crap, spiritual essence?"
"This is way too expensive!"
"The key is that this thing is so rare, very few people have it!"
"..."
His words caused the crowd below to widen their eyes in astonishment.
They all stared longingly at the sword box, their faces full of curiosity.
What exactly is inside this sword case that could fetch such an exorbitant price?
"Everyone, since you're all curious, let me show you!"
"Our immortal sword was obtained from the Immortal Realm!"
"It is said that it was used by a Golden Immortal."
Seeing the curious looks on everyone's faces, the auctioneer smiled and said, "Open!"
"Yes!"
"..."
After he said that, two or three of his men came up together.
Then they worked together to retrieve the immortal sword.
"call!"
The mere sight of it flashed with a cold light.
"puff!"
A cold glint flashed, and the two men didn't have time to dodge.
They simply sliced off their arms cleanly.
"what!"
"..."
The two screamed in agony, their faces drained of color.
"Take him away!"
The auctioneer remained indifferent and ordered his men to carry him away.
"Holy crap, that's incredible!"
"Just the cold air can harm people!"
"..."
Everyone stared wide-eyed, looking at what was happening before them in disbelief.
I never expected this immortal sword to be so powerful.
Everyone was drawn to the sword.
The sword was gleaming with a brilliant light.
It was so striking that one dared not look directly at it, and the blade itself sent chills down one's spine.
His exceptionally long and slender frame gives him an even more imposing presence.
"A fine sword!"
Ning Qi looked at the sword and couldn't help but smile: "It should be a good gift for Miss Xu's master!"
"Master, this is too precious, I can't bear to part with it!"
Yao Ling then said, "Her master is not worthy of this sword."
Yao Ling had met Xu Qingqiu's master.
He knew very well what kind of person he was.
Ning Qi was the only one I hadn't met before, so I had to give him a gift.
Yao Ling didn't say anything about this.
I just made a comment.
"It's alright, your master has the Chaos Sword!"
"It is the Immortal-Slaying Sword that Di Xi mentioned."
"This sword is worthless before my Immortal-Slaying Sword!"
Ning Qi didn't care at all, smiled and said, "Alright, get ready to raise the price."
"Everyone, we can begin!"
At that moment, the auctioneer below also spoke up.
"Eleven million!"
As soon as he said that, someone raised the price.
"Fifteen million!"
Ning Qi didn't hold back at all; before he had even finished speaking, he immediately raised the price.
"It's that kid again!"
"He must be from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect!"
"They're really rich and powerful!"
"..."
The people below were already numb.
Ning Qi's wealth was something that made everyone hesitate to approach.
He immediately added four million.
What kind of strength is this?
"Twenty million."
After he said that, someone else raised the price as well.
It still sounds like a young girl's voice.
"This sword is truly remarkable; it's incredible that it's driving people to such crazy price increases!"
"Yes, it's a pity we don't have any spirit essence!"
"..."
Many people started discussing it.
Thirty million!
Ning Qi couldn't help but laugh after the woman raised the price.
Spiritual essence?
What he has in abundance is spiritual essence.
He himself didn't know how much spiritual essence was in his storage bag.
As long as she dares to add more, she can keep adding more.
Forty million!
After he said that, the woman raised the price again.
"My God, forty million? Isn't that a bit much?"
"Didn't you see? They've started competing with each other."
"Yes, they are two capable individuals!"
"..."
Many people started talking about it.
Clearly, they could also tell that this was someone holding a grudge.
Sixty million!
Ning Qi quoted another price.
"My God, it has to be this young man!"
"It's already increased sixfold!"
"My God, we've really seen something amazing today!"
"In the face of powerful people, these resources are just numbers."
"..."
After he announced his price, the people below started discussing it even more animatedly.
Everyone became curious about Ning Qi.
"Ladies and gentlemen, to avoid you from making empty promises and driving up prices."
“If we keep adding more, regardless of whether you succeed in filming or not, we will deduct 20% of your spiritual essence.”
At that moment, the auctioneer said, "Now, our people will go up and verify your resources."
"If anyone's offer is lower than your current price, we will expel them immediately!"
"Furthermore, the price of the spirit marrow will be reduced by fifty percent for the previous bidder!"
The auction house wouldn't dare to accept such a high price.
The person who can offer such a high price must be someone with power and influence. If they go back and their families find out, they'll regret spending so much money to auction off these items.
They will definitely come to settle accounts with them.
Such spiteful behavior has happened before.
Therefore, after Ning Qi arrived, the auctioneer made this decision.
"now it's right."
"I feel like they're just shouting nonsense!"
"Then let's see who's the fake!"
"..."
The audience started talking about it.
Ning Qi's men have already come up.
Upon seeing Ning Qi, he respectfully stepped forward.
"Young master, excuse me, may I check your resources?"
After the waiter stepped forward, he said politely again.
"Give!"
Ning Qi didn't mind and simply handed over his storage bag.
The man caught it with both hands and began to examine it carefully.
It wouldn't have mattered if they hadn't looked, but after examining it, their faces showed surprise.
It's not that there isn't enough, it's that there's too much.
He couldn't even figure out how many there were.
"How about it?"
Ning Qi smiled and looked at the shopkeeper in front of him, asking a question.
"Young master, I apologize for disturbing you. You have too much spiritual essence!"
"That's enough!"
The waiter quickly returned it to Ning Qi with both hands, and then said, "This humble servant takes his leave!"
"Ning Qi, where did you get so many spirit essences?"
"I've heard that this is a rare find in the world!"
Li Xiangrou also asked curiously.
"It's a secret!"
Ning Qi deliberately kept everyone in suspense.
Meanwhile, several men had already reached the bottom.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this immortal sword has been handed over to this young master for twenty million!"
At this moment, the auctioneer pointed in Ning Qi's direction.
"Haha, I knew that girl didn't have that many spiritual essences!"
"Exactly, they don't have it, but they pretend to."
"Now look what happened, they've seen through us!"
"..."
The people below began to mock them.
Clearly, this woman only has 20 million spirit essences.
After being discovered, he was disqualified by the auctioneer.
She gave the immortal sword to Ning Qi, based on her own spiritual essence limit.
In this way, Ning Qi's expenses were not high, and he was given enough face.
After his announcement, in another private room.
None of them looked well.
"Qianqian, this... I'll go teach that bastard a lesson!"
A young man was indignant.
"Mind your own business!"
The girl called Qianqian snorted softly, "I'm going to teach that brat a lesson myself!"
"Miss, but there are restrictions here, and we don't know who it is!"
A maid quickly reminded them, "Besides, there are rules here; we can't possibly know his identity."
"That's because you can't, but I can!"
Qianqian smiled and then said, "Xu Feng! Let's go."
"Okay, tell me, what should we do?"
Xu Feng was the young man from earlier, and he saw that Qianqian was about to make a move.
He even called out to himself, and he immediately beamed with joy.
"Find a guy, feed him the Heart-Devouring Gu, and have him lead us there."
Qianqian smiled and then said, "We'll dress up as the staff, and that'll solve the problem!"
"Yes, that's a good idea!"
"I'll get on it right away!"
Xu Feng clapped his hands, then excitedly got up and went out.
Qianqian followed her out.
The two went to a secluded place and specifically sought out a fellow worker.
After knocking the waiter unconscious, he fed him the Heart-Devouring Gu.
They're trying to figure out how to deal with Ning Qi, while Ning Qi is still looking at their immortal sword with Yao Ling.
At this moment, the immortal sword had already been delivered to the two of them.
"Master, this immortal sword is quite impressive. Just its sword aura alone is enough to instill fear in people!"
Yao Ling looked at the immortal sword and exclaimed in admiration.
"Indeed, it is a fine sword!"
"If I didn't have the Immortal-Slaying Sword, I really wouldn't have been willing to give it away!"
Ning Qi held the immortal sword and said with a smile.
"This sword is indeed excellent; I can even feel its sword energy!"
Li Xiangrou also looked at the sword, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes.
"Son!"
It was at this moment that a guy knocked on his door.
"What's the matter?"
Ning Qi heard the sound and looked towards the door.
"We've brought you some pastries!"
The waiter was carrying pastries, with two other people behind him.
Both were Qianqian and Xu Feng in disguise.
Dressed as waiters, these two people made no indication that they were important figures.
They are no different from ordinary people.
"Oh? That's quite thoughtful."
"Put it down!"
Ning Qi listened without suspicion and told them to put it down.
"it is good!"
After the waiter agreed, he brought the two men in.
Then put the pastries down.
During this time, Qianqian and Xu Feng had clearly memorized the two people.
Then he hurriedly went out and left.
Ning Qi had no idea that he was being watched.
"Try it and see how it tastes!"
I picked up a pastry and tasted it.
"not bad!"
Li Xiangrou also picked up a piece, took a bite, and praised it repeatedly.
"Master, that's really good!"
Yao Ling also took a bite and gave a thumbs up.
"We'll have a couple of bites, then we're ready to go!"
Ning Qi also began to eat heartily: "We have achieved our goal, there is no point in staying any longer."
"Ok!"
Yao Ling nodded and began to eat.
Li Xiangrou didn't stand on ceremony and joined in the feast.
The three of them ate with great relish.
They finished eating it all in no time.
"Alright, let's go!"
Ning Qi clapped his hands and looked down again.
Meanwhile, the auctioneer was already auctioning off another treasure.
However, Ning Qi was not interested in this.
He has achieved his goal.
"it is good!"
Li Xiangrou agreed and got up.
The spirit medicine returned to his shoulder once more.
We went downstairs together and soon arrived at the entrance of the auction.
By this time, it was completely dark.
However, the streets were becoming increasingly crowded.
"Let's go, it's getting late, let's head back!"
Ning Qi glanced around and said with a smile.
"it is good!"
Li Xiangrou had no intention of continuing her shopping.
After agreeing, he set off together.
Heading back in the direction of their inn.
Because there were so many people there, they didn't even notice that they were being followed the whole time.
Even after they returned to the inn, someone was still following them suspiciously.
"Did you see it clearly?"
Qianqian glanced inside and asked in a deep voice.
"Look closely, this is the inn, there's no mistake!"
Xu Feng nodded, looking serious: "Let's go ask the guys where they live?"
"Okay! Let's go!"
Qianqian agreed and then followed along towards the inn ahead.
Xu Feng took the initiative to lead the way, and they soon arrived at the inn.
"Gentlemen, are you looking for a place to stay?"
As soon as I arrived at the door, a waiter came over and greeted me with a smile.
"Correct."
Qianqian agreed and gave Xu Feng a look.
"By the way, I'd like to ask you something."
Xu Feng understood and stepped forward to speak. (End of Chapter)
