Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1488: Chapter 767: Never Heard of It

The third spot was claimed by a mysterious man in Room Alpha Four for two million and one hundred thousand, while the fourth fell into Miao Ren’s hands.

Gu Sheng silently calculated the amount of spirit stones in his storage ring and sighed lightly.

Even for the last spot, he was unable to compete.

Just as he was about to give up, a cold female voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

“Mr. Gu, are you interested in making a deal?”

Gu Sheng’s heart trembled; this secret transmission was truly skillful.

He calmly surveyed the surroundings, ultimately locking his gaze on Room Alpha Two… which belonged to Ye Yiyi, the eldest lady of the Ye Family.

“What guidance does Ye Fairy have for me?”

Gu Sheng responded in kind using secret transmission.

“I see Mr. Gu is interested in the Purple Mist Cave Heaven spot but lacks the funds. How about this: transfer the demon core of the sect realm demon plant to me, and I will take you into the Purple Mist Cave Heaven together, how about it?”

Gu Sheng’s eyes showed surprise.

Ye Yiyi knew he had a sect realm demon core? Her intelligence is indeed well-known.

He pondered briefly and replied.

“Ye Fairy, you have sharp eyes. However, I have another proposal… I possess a sect realm divine weapon, which I can lend to the fairy. The condition is that you take me into the Purple Mist Cave Heaven, how about it?”

Inside the room, Ye Yiyi’s slender fingers gently tapped on the table, her eyes showing interest.

“Oh? Mr. Gu is willing to lend out a sect realm divine weapon?”

“To be honest, the demon core has other uses for me.”

Gu Sheng spoke sincerely.

“And this saber… might be more fitting for the fairy.”

“A saber?”

Ye Yiyi’s eyes sparkled.

“How did Mr. Gu know I use a saber?”

“The Ye Family’s ‘Cold Moon Saber Technique’ is renowned in the Eastern Domain, how could I not know?”

Gu Sheng smiled slightly.

“This saber is called ‘Broken Mountain’, left by an ancient sect realm expert, and is quite connected to the Cold Moon Saber Technique.”

Ye Yiyi was silent for a moment, then suddenly chuckled.

“Mr. Gu certainly did his homework. Well, I agree with you. However, I want to inspect the goods first.”

“Of course.”

Gu Sheng took out a quaint ring from his storage ring, flicked his fingertip, and the ring transformed into a stream of light flying towards Ye Yiyi’s room.

Inside, Ye Yiyi raised her delicate hand and steadily caught the ring.

Her divine sense penetrated it, seeing a black saber quietly floating, faint shadows flowing on its blade, exuding a sharp blade intent.

“A fine saber!”

Ye Yiyi couldn’t help but praise.

She activated the Cold Moon Heart Method, and the blade slightly trembled, resonating with her.

“Mr. Gu, you didn’t put a restriction on the saber?”

Ye Yiyi asked, somewhat surprised.

In the hall, Gu Sheng smiled casually.

“No need. I am confident that no one can take anything from me.”

These words were spoken lightly yet carried undeniable authority.

Ye Yiyi’s beautiful eyes showed brilliance, sparking a profound interest in this seemingly ordinary cultivator.

“Such ‘confidence’.”

Ye Yiyi’s red lips curved slightly.

“It’s a deal. After the auction, please come to my room, Mr. Gu, so we can discuss the matter of entering the Purple Mist Cave Heaven in detail.”

“It’s more respectful to follow orders.”

Gu Sheng bowed and agreed.

At this moment, the auction had reached a fever pitch.

“Two million three hundred thousand! Alpha Six bids two million three hundred thousand! Is there a higher bid?”

Fairy Yue Xia’s voice was raised slightly due to excitement.

“Two million four hundred and fifty thousand!”

An elderly voice was heard from the Alpha Seven room.

The room fell silent.

This price had exceeded the capability of the vast majority of people.

The Nine Heavens Divine Sect’s Second Elder bids two million four hundred and fifty thousand! The fifth spot, sold!”

Fairy Yue Xia’s jade hammer descended, announcing the successful conclusion of the auction.

In the Purple Mist Residence Hall, the crisp sound of spirit stones colliding gradually faded away.

Gu Sheng placed the last high-grade spirit stone into the counter, tapping the jade surface lightly with his fingertip, producing a soft “ding”.

“Transaction complete.”

The elderly man behind the counter didn’t look up, marking the ledger with his withered fingers.

Gu Sheng nodded slightly, his robe moving without wind when he turned around.

At this very moment, he keenly perceived at least seven or eight invisible spiritual powers entwined like a web, each carrying a subtle probing intent.

These spiritual powers were like eyes lurking in the darkness, sweeping over every inch of him.

“So they finally came…”

Gu Sheng’s lips curled into a cold smile, yet his pace did not stop as he walked straight towards the door.

His long fingers gently stroked the newly acquired Jade Scroll inside his sleeve… the scroll that caused a huge commotion, the “Mystic Sky Nine Transformations Technique”.

After three steps, Gu Sheng’s figure suddenly paused.

He sensed one particular spiritual power among them, especially cold, lingering like a snake’s tongue at the back of his neck.

This was definitely not the probe of an ordinary cultivator, but at least that of a half-step sect realm expert.

“Seems more troublesome than expected.”

Gu Sheng thought to himself, but his face showed no sign, as he continued stepping forward.

Just as he was about to exit the hall, a familiar aura emerged from the stairs on the third floor.

Gu Sheng looked up, seeing Ye Yiyi leaning against the intricately carved railing, her light purple dress gently swaying in the wind, and the Xiaguang Sub-Branch Token hanging from her waist shimmering in the lighting.

“Mr. Gu, this way.”

Ye Yiyi used secret transmission, her voice directly echoing in his mind.

Gu Sheng understood, shifted his direction, and headed towards the stairs.

As the distance shortened, he noticed Ye Yiyi’s brows were slightly furrowed; she had also sensed those prying gazes.

“Apologies for keeping Miss Ye waiting.”

Gu Sheng bowed in salute, speaking just loud enough for those around to hear.

Ye Yiyi gently shook her head, her lips parted.
