Free Web NovelChapter 1481: Chapter 1328: My Little Brother Is a Villain 25
The main reason is that the Hundred Strange Sect is adept at Artifact Refining, which no cultivator doesn’t need a customized Magic Treasure. By then, they would inevitably seek them out.
At this moment, it’s better to give some face, not to seek gratitude from them, but just not to leave a bad impression.
The Great Elder of the Hundred Strange Sect also knows the rules. After obtaining a Creation Tree Fruit, they didn’t continue bidding for another but instead remained quiet.
Then the windows of two more private rooms opened, belonging to the Great Cultivators of the Beast Taming Sect and the Hundred Ghosts Alliance, each bidding seven thousand Spirit Stones for a Creation Tree Fruit.
Pei Ling in one of the private rooms also bid for one. Nie Shuangshuang watched Feng Feiyu, who was sprawled on the table, tossing nuts like small stones, and asked him, "Do you want a Creation Tree Fruit?"
Feng Feiyu tilted his head to look at Nie Shuangshuang, and after a while, shook his head. The mortal relatives he cherished had long passed away, their souls already reincarnated, so what use would this Creation Tree Fruit be to him?
Moreover, Feng Feiyu never planned to find a Dao companion nor have descendants, so the Creation Tree Fruit was irrelevant to him.
Since Feng Feiyu didn’t want it, Nie Shuangshuang did not join the excitement. The first five Creation Tree Fruits on stage were all bid by people in the private rooms, leaving only the one that Nie Shuangshuang hadn’t bid for.
Initially, Feng Qiao thought that Nie Shuangshuang would also bid for one, but there was no movement from her, and eventually, the remaining Creation Tree Fruit was taken by someone in the auction room.
After the Creation Tree Fruits, the treasures that came next were just ordinary things, ordinary only to those accustomed to the treasures in the Treasure Pavilion.
The commonplace treasures at the Treasure Pavilion auction were enough to be the finale treasures of a small auction outside.
Nie Shuangshuang always kept an eye on Feng Feiyu’s expression, bidding for anything she thought he liked. In total, she bid for seven treasures, spending nearly ten thousand top-grade Spirit Stones.
Feng Feiyu touched his Heaven and Earth Ring, which contained all the items Nie Shuangshuang had previously bid for. After an item was won at the auction, someone would bring it directly to the private room.
Nie Shuangshuang gave everything to Feng Feiyu all at once, and he realized that anything he glanced at for more than a moment, she bought for him.
Feng Feiyu couldn’t suppress the smile on his lips. It was truly indulgent and straightforward; just buy whatever she saw. If he were really a child, wouldn’t Nie Shuangshuang spoil him into a wastrel?
However, regardless, Feng Feiyu’s previously unhappy mood was lifted, and he eagerly looked at the auction items below once more.
Nie Shuangshuang, on the other hand, felt a bit bored. For those who like to spend lavishly, an auction is very exhilarating.
But for Nie Shuangshuang, she was more accustomed to sending a note for whatever she wanted, having the people of the Treasure Pavilion bring items to her, paying directly, and completing the transaction at once.
The feeling of waiting and bidding for each item was completely a waste of time for Nie Shuangshuang, but seeing Feng Feiyu’s eager look, she could only endure it.
Finally, the finale treasure of the auction appeared: a snow-white, finger-high little monkey. The monkey was fluffy and very adorable.
Feng Qiao supported the little monkey with her hand, and it obediently sat in her palm. Feng Qiao walked around the auction stage, ensuring everyone had a clear view before introducing the treasure.
"This is a Phantom Monkey, with the talent to create Illusion Realms, and its eyes can see through all illusions. When we train outside, whether in Secret Realms or elsewhere, we inevitably encounter various dangers.
Among them, Illusion Realms are very common yet troublesome problems. If you have this Phantom Monkey, you can easily navigate through Illusion Realms in the future.
This Phantom Monkey is still a juvenile. If you buy it and nurture bonds well, it will recognize you as its master when it grows up, becoming inseparable and never betraying you.
The starting bid for the Phantom Monkey is fifty thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, with each bid increase not less than one thousand top-grade Spirit Stones. Now, bidding begins!"
As soon as the Phantom Monkey appeared, Nie Shuangshuang sat up straight. This item was just right to buy for Feng Feiyu to nurture, and it could also be a future asset.
Nie Shuangshuang never liked being indecisive. Since she wanted it, she didn’t wait for others outside to make a fair bid but directly increased it: "One hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones!"
When Nie Shuangshuang called out her price, the entire venue fell silent. Through countless auctions, no one had ever seen such a high bid at once, a single increase of fifty thousand Spirit Stones, doubling the price!
For a moment, everyone was stunned by Nie Shuangshuang’s method of bidding. After a while, no one raised the bid again, and Feng Qiao began calling out: "One hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones once, one hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones twice..."
If Feng Qiao called out three times, this Phantom Monkey would belong to Nie Shuangshuang. Nie Shuangshuang sat in the private room with a calm expression. It was impossible for her first bid to succeed.
The others were just shocked by Nie Shuangshuang’s unconventional bidding and would soon raise their offers. Indeed, before Feng Qiao called out the third time, the Great Elder of the Hundred Strange Sect made a higher bid.
"One hundred and ten thousand top-grade Spirit Stones!" Normally, bids would increase by one or two thousand top-grade Spirit Stones. However, the opponent was jolted by Nie Shuangshuang’s previous method and added ten thousand at once.
After the Great Elder of the Hundred Strange Sect raised the bid, Pei Ling in the private room next to Nie Shuangshuang also offered a bid: "One hundred and twenty thousand top-grade Spirit Stones!" Pei Ling also added ten thousand top-grade Spirit Stones.
"One hundred and fifty thousand top-grade Spirit Stones!" Nie Shuangshuang called out again, this time directly increasing by thirty thousand to reach a round number.
The venue quieted down again. This time, it wasn’t surprise but hesitation on whether to continue bidding. Many had seen Nie Shuangshuang when she entered the private room unmasked.
Now most of the people in the venue knew the bidder was Nie Shuangshuang. Given her intent to win, they weren’t sure they could outbid Nie Shuangshuang.
The Phantom Monkey’s value was between one hundred fifty to one hundred sixty thousand top-grade Spirit Stones. If they continued to bid, unless they could outmatch Nie Shuangshuang’s price and secure the item, it would only seem like they were driving up the price.
This was a sign of crossing Nie Shuangshuang, and who was she? The youngest Great Cultivator of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect!
Her master is the most powerful fighter in the Cultivation World, Lingtian True Monarch, and her father is the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. Her father, master, and herself, none are to be trifled with. The consequences of truly offending Nie Shuangshuang would not be pleasant.
However, if they had to acquire it, and if Nie Shuangshuang raised her bid by another fifty thousand to make a round number, they would have to increase their offers again, and then buying this Phantom Monkey would result in a major loss.
After much hesitation, no one continued to raise the bid. It was just a Phantom Monkey, though precious; it wasn’t worth offending Nie Shuangshuang or bleeding themselves dry to purchase it.
