Chapter 576
Weaving the Ribbon of Fate
"Oh?"
Ning Qi agreed and then looked down.
Sure enough, I saw several men carrying a box upstairs.
The auctioneer looked at the crowd and hurriedly reminded them, "Be careful."
"Yes!"
"..."
The men agreed and then cautiously continued walking onto the stage.
They quickly went up and placed the iron box on the platform.
"What is this mysterious thing?"
"I don't know, let's wait for the auctioneer to announce it."
"Hey, stop keeping me in suspense, what's inside?"
"..."
Those below were already starting to get restless.
"Senior brother, what do you feel?"
A junior student standing nearby couldn't help but ask a question while looking at the stage.
"Who knows? We'll find out in a bit."
Gao Yunze shook his head, looking at the iron box on the stage with the same curious expression.
By this time, the auctioneer had already instructed several of his assistants to open the box.
"Don't worry, everyone, you'll see it soon."
The auctioneer then announced to the crowd, "This is a set of armor, and we also have a corpse."
"A corpse?"
"What do you mean?"
"Let's see what's going on."
"..."
The crowd below was immediately drawn to the scene.
Everyone stared eagerly ahead, waiting for the auctioneer to reveal the answer.
"This corpse is not an ordinary corpse."
"This is the corpse of a Golden Immortal master."
"It's a bit damaged, but it's still enough for you to buy and use."
The auctioneer then instructed the assistant to lift the cloth covering his armor: "His armor is also a celestial artifact of the immortal race, and it is priceless."
"The starting bid for both items together is twenty million!"
"What? Twenty million? That's way too cheap."
"Then I can give it a try."
"Don't be so hasty, isn't 20 million a bit suspicious?"
"..."
Many people began to question it, and many looked at the stage warily.
"It's 20 million spirit marrow crystals, not 20 million top-grade spirit stones."
After listening to everyone's comments, the auctioneer slowly began to speak.
"Hmph, just making a fuss over nothing."
Ning Qi looked up at the auctioneer and curled his lip.
"Yeah, that person is so annoying."
Xu Qingqiu chimed in, "It's just a corpse, what's so special about it, why sell it for such a high price?"
"Look, it's open."
Ning Qi suddenly reminded him.
Both of them noticed the metal box at the same time.
The worker has already removed the last layer of tarpaulin.
"call!"
As soon as the fabric was opened, a dazzling golden light burst forth.
Immediately following, a chilling aura was unleashed.
"Buzz!"
A surge of air rose up, throwing everyone backward.
"call!"
Ning Qi also felt the strength of the gust of wind, and quickly helped Xu Qingqiu up to prevent her from falling.
"Is it that strong?"
Xu Qingqiu stared wide-eyed at the corpse in front of her.
At this point, the air blast gradually stabilized.
Ning Qi went to check and found that it was the auctioneer who took a bead and placed it on the corpse.
Only then did the body return to calm.
However, the golden light surrounding it was still flashing, making it impossible to look directly at it.
Ning Qi looked at the corpse before him, and the power of his immortal bloodline began to surge within him.
"Huh? Could it be that this has something to do with me?"
Ning Qi couldn't help but say.
"what?"
Hearing him speak, Xu Qingqiu couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I'm somewhat interested in this body."
Ning Qi smiled, then shouted in a hoarse voice, "Twenty-one million."
"Has someone spoken?"
"who is it?"
"The person is in a private room, but I don't know who they are."
Many people started discussing it, and everyone curiously turned their attention to the top.
"who is it?"
Gao Yunze also looked up.
However, Ning Qi was in a private room, which was protected by a barrier, so they couldn't see him at all.
"Someone raised the bid by a million. Is anyone else bidding?"
After hearing Ning Qi's words, the auctioneer addressed the crowd below.
"Twenty-two million."
At that moment, someone on the other side started raising the price.
Everyone turned their attention back to that spot, but unfortunately, it was still inside a private room.
"Twenty-five million."
Ning Qi didn't waste any more time with them and immediately raised the price to five million.
As a result, no one raised the price again for a short period of time.
In the private room opposite him, a young man was looking at Ning Qi.
There was a fluctuating array above his eyes, which clearly indicated something special about him.
"Young master, who is this kid? I've never seen him before."
An old man standing nearby, like him, had a shimmering array in his eyes.
"I've never seen him before, but I know who the woman next to him is."
"This is Xu Qingqiu, Wang Zhengqian's apprentice."
Upon hearing the old man's words, the young man said in a deep voice, "Then he must also be a member of the Myriad Swords Sect, otherwise how could he be with a disciple of a Celestial Immortal?"
"Yes, shall we add more?"
The old man nodded, and then looked at Ning Qi again.
"No need. It's not worth raising it to five million, and even if we raise it by another five million, we might not be a match for him."
The boy shook his head, then looked back at Ning Qi: "However, even if he gets it, it may not be his."
"Young Master, you mean to..."
The old man hesitated.
"Gentlemen, twenty-five million, anyone bidding higher?"
At this point, the auctioneer below reminded everyone again: "If there are no more buyers, we will bring down the hammer."
"Three breaths have already passed, why waste any more time?"
"Exactly, you're hoping they'll keep arguing about the price, aren't you?"
"..."
Many people below could no longer contain themselves and began to mock.
I am dissatisfied with his price-arguing behavior.
"Ning Qi, this is too expensive, it's not worth it."
Xu Qingqiu glanced at Ning Qi and couldn't help but say something.
"Oh? But I think it's useful, so let him have as much as he wants."
Ning Qi smiled, not taking it to heart.
"Fine, whatever you want."
Xu Qingqiu sighed and stopped trying to persuade him.
Instead, they focused their attention on the area below.
"Then, this corpse belongs to this gentleman."
The auctioneer below felt embarrassed to delay any longer.
We can only announce the results.
He originally thought the price of the corpse could be increased a few more times.
To my utter surprise, after all this time, the person from before still showed no sign of continuing.
"Finally, she's taken."
"Quickly, start the next one."
"..."
Many people below started shouting along.
They couldn't wait for him to continue the auction.
"Go ahead and take this to the young master upstairs."
The auctioneer first gave instructions to his assistant.
"Yes."
"..."
After two or three men agreed, they carried the body away.
"Everyone, let's continue!"
The auctioneer continued.
Only then did everyone turn their attention back to him.
After he finished speaking, another worker came up on stage with some items.
Ning Qi happened to hear a knock on the door at that moment.
"Come in."
He said it calmly.
"Young master, this is your treasure."
After the waiter came in, he carried the box in front of him.
"Okay! These are yours."
Ning Qi handed a storage bag to the shop assistant. "Thank you, young master!"
The waiter took it over, inspected it, and said respectfully.
"Okay, let's go down."
Ning Qi nodded, and then gave them the order to leave.
"Young master, our men are at the door if anything happens."
The man gave another reminder, then left with his men.
After he left, Ningzi turned her attention to the box.
"Such a powerful aura!"
Xu Qingqiu also examined the box and couldn't help but say something.
"Yes, she is indeed very strong."
"Put it away first!"
Ning Qi nodded, and then put the box away.
"Who knows what's next?"
Xu Qingqiu then turned her gaze downwards.
Ning Qi also looked over.
Meanwhile, the auctioneer had already sold several more treasures without them noticing.
However, it didn't cause any further commotion.
"Ladies and gentlemen, next we are going to auction a treasure."
The auctioneer then had his assistant bring forward a box.
"Do they like to put all their valuables in boxes?"
Ning Qi glanced down and couldn't help but smile as he spoke.
"Yes."
Xu Qingqiu was also very interested and continued reading.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this treasure is a priceless gem, but it was made for women."
"It's a ribbon that can be used for both offense and defense."
The auctioneer below spoke again.
The waiter simply opened it.
A blinding red light flashed.
Immediately following, a burst of seven-colored light surged forth.
"My God, what is this?"
"Seven-colored silk?"
"Didn't they just say that this is a treasure that can be used for both offense and defense!"
"..."
Many people below started discussing it, all looking on with curiosity.
"Everyone, once you recognize the owner of this ribbon, you will know its uses."
"Its name is, Weaving Life."
The auctioneer looked at the crowd and continued, "The starting price is ten million spirit essence liquid. Those who are interested can raise the bid."
"So expensive."
"I can't afford it."
"..."
This sparked discussion among the audience.
"Twelve million."
Ning Qi spoke up.
"It's that young man again."
"They're really rich and powerful!"
"This must be someone from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect."
"..."
Many people below began to discuss it, each with a look of curiosity.
What do you need this for?
Xu Qingqiu saw that Ning Qi wanted to photograph this life-weaving ribbon.
I couldn't help but become curious.
"Of course I'll use it."
Ning Qi simply smiled.
"What use do you have for this?"
"These are all weapons used by women."
Xu Qingqiu was surprised by his words and became even more curious.
"Of course it's useful. Who says I can't use it?"
Ning Qi shrugged and then said, "Maybe that's why we can catch people off guard."
"Yes, that makes sense."
Xu Qingqiu nodded, then said seriously, "We're going to the battlefield soon, and maybe it will really come in handy."
"correct."
The medicine spirit echoed this sentiment.
"Twenty million!"
At that moment, the boy who had just bid also raised the price.
"Look, these two are arguing again."
"Yeah, I wonder who will win."
I still think it's the same person.
"..."
The commotion they made immediately sparked discussion among the crowd below, with many feeling that Ning Qi could easily win.
After all, he had just won once.
Thirty million.
Ning Qi raised the price again.
This immediately caused a stir among the people below.
"Holy crap, this is way too extravagant!"
"They're not giving us even the slightest chance."
"..."
Many people stared wide-eyed, looking incredulous.
I never expected Ning Qi to add another ten million.
"He wanted to outdo me, but he picked the wrong person."
Ning Qi smiled and continued, "Whether it's spirit marrow liquid, spirit marrow crystal, or anything else, I have it on me."
"There are so many that I don't even dare to count them myself."
"Then aren't you afraid of making enemies?"
Xu Qingqiu reminded him, "Although there are restrictions here, some people can see us using special methods."
"It doesn't matter."
Ning Qi didn't care at all.
He was well aware of his own strength; there were only one or two people among them who could rival him.
One was the sect leader of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and the other he felt must also have a master in one of the other two sects.
Even if both of them came, he was not afraid at all.
Forty million!
After Ning Qi shouted, the young man raised the price again.
This time, they added ten million.
"Young Master, isn't this unnecessary? This is clearly worth twenty or thirty million."
The elderly man hurriedly reminded him.
"Didn't you see that guy provoking me?"
The boy said coldly, "If I don't add it, he'll look down on me."
The old man listened to his words and said nothing more.
Sixty million!
Ningzi raised the price again.
This time, even the auctioneer was somewhat at a loss.
He didn't need to provoke the two of them at all; they just started raising the price.
"Look, these two are starting to compete."
"Yes, that's interesting."
"..."
Many people started talking about it.
They all looked like they were just watching the show.
"Eighty million!"
The boy didn't give up and kept raising the price.
"Young Master."
The old man behind him quickly reminded him.
However, after being glared at by the boy, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
"One hundred million."
Ning Qi raised the price almost simultaneously.
"My God, are these two crazy?"
"That's insane."
"This thing isn't worth that price."
"Whose young master is this?"
"..."
Many people started talking about it, and they were very curious about Ning Qi and this boy.
Who exactly are they, that they are so wealthy and powerful?
"Gentlemen, one hundred million, anyone else bidding?"
When Ning Qi bid 100 million, after a while, no one raised the price anymore.
The auctioneer then spoke.
At this moment, he was all smiles, overjoyed.
I never expected that this would eventually sell for such a high price.
"Then, this treasure belongs to this guest once again."
After waiting for a while, and still no one raised the price, the auctioneer finally brought down the gavel.
"Damn it, I'm going to make him pay."
The boy glared at Ning Qi and said through gritted teeth.
"Young Master, I think we should bear with it for now."
"He must be no ordinary person to be able to produce so much spiritual essence."
Upon hearing his words, the old man immediately became anxious and quickly offered a reminder. (End of Chapter)
