Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

Chapter 2258: Zhao Hai Bids

In the True Spirit Realm, rare books were generally hoarded by the sects. Moreover, it was forbidden to leak it to the outside. Some ordinary rare techniques could be passed by a sect disciple to their family. But those powerful rare techniques were extremely guarded. Anyone found leaking rare techniques outside would get their cultivation abolished at best, some were beheaded on the spot.

Because of this, the number of rare books circulating outside the sects was very small. Even if they were outside, they were oftentimes incomplete. One could follow the technique to become strong, but if they wanted to progress, it was close to impossible.

Now, at the auction, there was a rare blade technique. This in itself was very attractive. Although it’s impossible for this blade technique to be too strong, it was still a treasure to rogue cultivators. Moreover, the starting bid was 3,000 jade essences, which wasn’t that high.

Looking at the jade slip, Qin Feng’s eyes couldn’t help but shine. Seeing Qin Feng, Zhao Hai smiled and said, “Brother Qin, do you want the technique?”

Qin Feng smiled faintly and said, “How could I not? Anyone would want it. However, not to mention the final bid, I can’t even afford the starting bid.”

Zhao Hai smiled faintly. As he looked at Qin Feng, he raised his hand and shouted, “Five thousand jade essences!”

Zhao Hai raising his hand already startled Qin Feng. What was more surprising was that Zhao Hai added 2,000 jade essences to the starting bid. This terrified Qin Feng.

Ling Dong didn’t expect that as he finished introducing the technique, someone already bid five thousand jade essences. This wasn’t a low amount. Zhao Hai’s bid caused the entire hall to become silent. Everyone looked at Zhao Hai in surprise.

At this time, a raspy voice was heard, “Six thousand jade essences.”

Zhao Hai turned his head and looked at the pale young master accompanied by two bodyguards. The young master also noticed Zhao Hai’s gaze. He raised his eyebrows at Zhao Hai, appearing like he was provoking him.

Seeing this, Zhao Hai’s smile couldn’t help but widen. This person actually dared to compete with him in wealth. Interesting, Zhao Hai thought. Then he opened his mouth and said, “Ten thousand jade essences!”

Boom! Zhao Hai’s bid was like a bomb that was thrown into the auction hall. Nobody thought Zhao Hai to be so ruthless. He immediately upped the price to ten thousand jade essences. This one bid alone eliminated the majority of the auction’s attendees.

Hearing Zhao Hai’s bid, the pale young master’s expression changed. He looked straight into Zhao Hai’s eyes as he said, “Eleven thousand jade essences!”

Zhao Hai smiled and countered, “Thirteen thousand jade essences.” Hearing the competition between the two young masters, the entire hall was speechless. They couldn’t imagine themselves spending such a huge amount of money.

Hearing Zhao Hai’s bid of 13 thousand jade essences, the pale young master couldn’t help but show a strange smile, then he laughed and said, “Thirteen thousand jade essences? Did you take all of your worth for this bid? You’re a plant of the auction house right? Hahaha. I don’t want this jade slip anymore. I want to see where you can get 13 thousand jade essences.”

The pale young master thought that he had choked Zhao Hai’s finances. He laughed with glee thinking about checkmating an enemy. Everyone in the hall felt that what the pale young master said made sense, they looked at Zhao Hai with a bad expression.

Zhao Hai didn’t care about anyone’s reaction. He just smiled and kept silent. At this time, Ling Dong’s expression was of happiness. But when he heard the pale young master’s accusation, he couldn’t help but defend the auction house, “Young Master Xu, please watch your speech. Since the day we are established, we have always strived to gain our customers’ trust. I can guarantee that this gentleman and I don’t know each other at all. If you keep insulting our Windrange Auction’s reputation, I have to ask you to leave.”

The pale young master was clearly dreadful of Ling Dong, as soon as he heard this, he hurriedly said, “Shopkeeper Ling, my apologies, it was a slip of the tongue.”

Ling Dong nodded, then he waved his hand towards the maid. The maid immediately brought the tray with the jade slip to Zhao Hai and bowed, “Mister, here is your item.”

Zhao Hai nodded, then he took the jade slip while placing a spatial bag onto the tray. Then he waved his hand towards the maid.

The maid was slightly stunned, but she also understood that Zhao Hai was paying. She immediately bowed to Zhao Hai and said, “Thank you, sir.” After saying that, she probed the bag with her spiritual force then immediately withdrew. She bowed towards Zhao Hai once more and said, “I have received sir’s payment.” After that, she turned to Ling Dong and bowed before leaving.

Seeing this situation, the entire hall was in an uproar. They understood what just happened. Instead of deducting from his deposit, Zhao Hai paid for the item outright. ŖàＮ𝙤𝐁ĚṨ

It must be known that to enter the hall and sit on the first row, one must hand over at least ten thousand jade essences per seat. This deposit would be returned later if it isn’t spent. Although Zhao Hai could use his deposit to pay for the 13 thousand jade essences, this money would be taken out later when he leaves the auction. That was to say that Zhao Hai didn’t have to pay for the jade slip. Zhao Hai’s payment was telling everyone that he still has 20 thousand jade essences left to spend in the auction.

Thirty three thousand jade essences! As soon as everyone understood this, they immediately knew that Zhao Hai at least has 33 thousand jade essences when he entered the auction house. What was this amount? Only a few people in the auction hall could get their hands on this amount.

Zhao Hai ignored everyone’s reaction as he took the jade slip and scanned it with his spiritual force. Then he handed the jade slip to Qin Feng and said, “Brother Qin, take this and make a copy. I have to bring the original to the Blood Knife Gang.”

Hearing this, Qin Feng immediately waved his hand and said, “Brother, this is too much, I don’t want it.”

Zhao Hai waved his hand and said, “Just make a copy. This jade slip will not shatter. You call me brother, why care about how much this jade slip costs? Go on, make a copy.”

Hearing Zhao Hai, Qin Feng’s lips moved without any sounds. Then his eyes flashed with determination as he laughed and said, “Fine, then I’ll be impolite.” After he said that, he took out a blank jade slip and copied the blade technique.

At this moment, the pale young master looked at Zhao Hai with a difficult expression. Just now he said that Zhao Hai used all of his net worth. But he didn’t expect Zhao Hai to pay immediately. This was a slap to his face. As Young Master Xu, he was a proud person. How could he stomach such an insult? His gaze turned cold. 

Zhao Hai also felt the killing intent from the pale young master, but he didn’t mind it. He just smiled faintly as he looked at Ling Dong. At this time, Ling Dong was introducing another item. A maid brought over a box to the stage. Inside the box was a long blade three feet long and three inches wide. The blade itself was thin, and its entire body was purple.

As Ling Dong held the long blade, he said, “This is the Purple Blood Demon Knife. It is made by a Crafting Master from the Forbidden Path Sect. The blade is very sharp. Once it is taken out, blood will flow. The refiner sacrificed the blood of a hundred beasts while making this blade. Then he sacrificed living people to quench it. This is a murderous blade. The bidding starts at 5,000 jade essences. Each bid must be at least 500 jade essences!”

Seeing the Purple Blood Demon Blade, Leng Yue’s eyes couldn’t help but turn bright. He didn’t wait for other people to bid as he said, “Six thousand jade essences!” His voice was ordinary, albeit a bit ice-cold.

Zhao Hai has no interest in this blade, so he didn’t place a bid. On the other hand, the females from the Green Willow Sect wanted it. One of them shouted, “Seven thousand jade essences!”

Leng Yue looked at the female cultivator and then said, “Nine thousand jade essences!”

Hearing Leng Yue’s bid, the female cultivator from the Green Willow Sect’s expression changed. Although they sat in the first row, they didn’t come to the auction for this blade. What they wanted was a different thing. If the blade could be bought for 7,000 jade essences, then they would take it. Nine thousand jade essences was too much for them. Therefore, they didn’t place another bid.

As the pale young master looked at Leng Yue, the corners of his mouth lifted as he said, “Ten thousand jade essences.”

Leng Yue looked at Young Master Xu and said, “13 thousand jade essences!”

Hearing Leng Yue, Young Master Xu’s expression turned blue. But he kept silent in the end. It was clear that 13 thousand jade essences was his limit. 

Seeing that Young Master Xu was silent, Ling Dong spoke, “Young Master Leng Yue has bid 13 thousand jade essences. Are there any more bids? This Purple Blood Demon Blade is a rare treasure among blades. It has the function of intimidating beasts and stunning people. If you activate it, your battle prowess would immediately increase. Nobody? Thirteen thousand jade essences, going once, going twice! Alright, sold! The Purple Blood Demon Blade now belongs to Young Master Leng Yue.’

After announcing the winner, Ling Dong waved his hand. Then the maid delivered the blade to Leng Yue. Leng Yue immediately grabbed the blade and placed the blade on his back on his spatial bag. Then he carried the Purple Blood Demon Blade in its place. However, he didn’t pay on the spot, clearly he can’t take out more than 13 thousand jade essences.

Once the blade was handed over to Leng Yue, the maid bowed and then left. Ling Dong moved on and waved his hand once more. This time, instead of a female maid, an old person walked over. The old person carried a tray. The tray had a transparent cover with a piece of stone under it. The stone was red and had nine small holes.

Seeing this stone, Zhao Hai’s eyes lit up. He could feel a special aura from the stone. It was the aura of life.
