Emperor Qiankun

Chapter 428 Lu Ningwei of the Xuandao Sect is incredibly audacious!

at this time.

Another girl spoke up to explain, her words revealing a maturity and wisdom beyond her years:

"Sister, is there even a need to ask?"

"Didn't Master just say that this is a special privilege given to our sect by the Northern Underworld Dragon Palace? Naturally, internal information will not be easily leaked."

"They have countless Xuanjing crystals, so they don't lack this much. But by doing this, they can cleverly make us owe them a great favor."

"In the future, we will naturally give more consideration and feedback to many matters."

The words trailed off.

The beautiful woman spoke again, her voice clear, cold, and firm, echoing outwards:

"Nine million and two million high-grade mysterious crystals."

This offer is undoubtedly a declaration of their determination to acquire the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus!

......

With the price of "9.2 million high-grade Xuan Crystals" announced.

The auction seemed to be paused, and the scene fell into a brief silence.

Everyone is still processing this staggering number.

At the same time, there was speculation about whether anyone would be willing to raise the price further, pushing this fierce auction to a new climax.

On the second floor, in the private room where Li Qingyuan was located.

Upon hearing the price, Li Qingyuan shifted slightly, a resolute glint flashing in her eyes.

He knew all too well that the real 'decisive moment' had arrived!

Without the slightest hesitation, he decisively submitted a quote through Conch Cement:

"Nine and a half million high-grade mysterious crystals!"

......

Meanwhile, in the private room where the Yun family was located on the third floor.

Yun Ruichuan couldn't hold back any longer!

He suddenly stood up, his voice booming like a bell, and directly raised the price to ten million high-grade Xuan Crystals, then introduced himself:

"Yun Ruichuan of the Yun family is here. I hope you fellow Daoists will give me face and allow this spiritual herb to belong to my Yun family!"

This move instantly caused a huge uproar, with cultivators in the auction hall discussing it animatedly.

"The Yun family? It's actually the famous Yun family in the northern part of Zhongzhou!"

"Yun Ruichuan? I've heard of him. He's the new elder of the Yun family, and he's incredibly powerful. I never expected him to personally step forward to bid today!"

"Ten million high-grade Xuan Crystals, that's quite a sum! It seems the Yun family is determined to get this Snow Soul Lotus!"

"However, auctions are always a matter of the highest bidder wins. Even if the Yun family reveals their identity, they may not be able to scare everyone away."

"..."

------

However, just as everyone was discussing it.

A clear and elegant female voice suddenly came from another direction on the third floor.

Like a lotus blooming in the ice, pure and noble:

"Brother Yun, I am Lu Ningwei, an elder of the Xuandao Sect."

"I have taken in two new disciples, both of whom possess the Xuanbing Treasure Body."

"Such a physique is rare, only appearing once in a thousand years, but it also requires the assistance of special spiritual medicines to fully unleash its potential."

"This Snow Lotus is of great importance to my two disciples, as it can help them temper their bodies and reshape their bones."

"I hope Brother Yun will be lenient and give way a little..."

"I'll offer 10.5 million high-grade Xuan Crystals."

As Lu Ningwei finished speaking.

A murmur of discussion immediately arose in the room.

The cultivators' faces showed surprise and curiosity, and they began to whisper among themselves, their voices rising and falling.

"An elder of the Xuandao Sect? Lu Ningwei? I've heard of that name before; she's quite an extraordinary person!"

"Mysterious Ice Body? That's a legendary physique! I never expected to encounter it here today!"

"Elder Lu was willing to pay such a high price for his disciple. This bond between master and disciple is truly touching!"

"However, will the Yun family give up so easily? Ten million high-grade Xuan Crystals is no small sum!"

"It seems this auction is going to be quite interesting!"

"..."

------

The atmosphere in the private room where the Yun family was staying was subtle and heavy.

Upon hearing Lu Ningwei's offer from outside, Yun Yi's face instantly darkened, a flash of malice crossing his eyes, and he said coldly:

"Father, this woman is clearly going against us!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Ruichuan frowned slightly, a hint of seriousness flashing across his face. He solemnly warned:

"Yi'er, you must not speak recklessly."

“Elder Lu Ningwei of the Xuandao Sect is no ordinary person.”

"Since she has said this, she is probably really determined to compete with us to the end... This matter needs to be handled with caution."

"Father, should we... raise the price?"

Yunlan asked softly from the side.

Her eyes held both resentment and helplessness. She clearly longed for the Snow Lotus, but was also well aware of the predicament of the current situation.

At this moment, Yun Ruichuan's brows were deeply furrowed, as if a heavy stone was pressing on his heart.

Deep down, he was determined to obtain this Snow Lotus; it concerned the future of his family and the prospects of his children...

However, reality was like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the flame in his heart.

The Xuandao Sect, such a behemoth!

Even though the Yun family has some strength, they would never dare to provoke them lightly.

Moreover, his reserves of Xuanjing (mystic crystals) are nearly exhausted and he can no longer support higher bids.

......

Thinking of this, Yun Ruichuan felt extremely unwilling, but he could only shake his head decisively.

Then, gathering his profound energy, he transmitted his voice to the outside world, saying:

"Fellow Daoist Lu, you flatter me."

"How could I not know that my Yun family and the Xuandao Sect have always been on good terms and have a deep friendship..."

"Since Fellow Daoist Lu values ​​this item so much, then I, Yun, will do you a favor and give this Snow Soul Lotus to you."

"I hope Fellow Daoist Lu will not find this humble gift from me too inadequate."

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene was once again stirred up, and the cultivators' discussions surged like a tide.

"The Yun family actually conceded? That's truly unexpected!"

"Yes, Yun Ruichuan has always been assertive, how could he give up so easily today?"

"It seems that the Xuandao Sect still has a lot of influence; even the Yun family has to give them some face."

"However, Elder Lu Ningwei is indeed very generous. Ten million high-grade Xuan Crystals is no small sum!"

"This auction is getting more and more interesting..."

------

Inside the private room where Xuandao Sect was located, undercurrents were surging beneath the tranquility.

Upon hearing Yun Ruichuan's words of concession, a hint of disdain flashed deep in Lu Ningwei's eyes.

It seemed as if everything was under her control, and this was how it was supposed to end.

But she still tried her best to maintain that elegant and dignified smile on her face.

She parted her lips slightly and said with a smile:

"Brother Yun is truly a man of noble character and lofty ideals. I will forever remember your kindness in giving way to me, and I will certainly find an opportunity to repay you in the future, so as not to let you down..."

However, she was interrupted before she could finish speaking.

A discordant voice rang out clearly from Ao Ni Chang in the center of the auction hall:

"A distinguished guest has offered eleven million high-grade Xuan Crystals. Elder Lu, would you like to continue bidding?"

These words were like a thunderclap from a clear sky, instantly igniting the atmosphere in the audience to a boiling point.

The cultivators whispered amongst themselves, their voices rising in a surging tide, shock and curiosity mingling on their faces.

"What? Someone actually dares to go against the Xuandao Sect? This is simply outrageous! Don't they have a death wish?"

"Eleven million high-grade Xuan Crystals? This is even more extravagant than the Yun family! Just who is this person, so unafraid of the Xuan Dao Sect's reputation?"

"It seems that today's auction is getting more and more interesting. How will the Xuandao Sect respond? And who exactly is that mysterious guest?"

"Wow, this auction house is truly a hidden gem; all sorts of people can appear here. I've certainly broadened my horizons today..."

------

On the second floor, in the elegant private room where Li Qingyuan was, the atmosphere was slightly solemn yet composed.

Su Yaoyue frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then softly suggested to Li Qingyuan beside her:

"Junior Uncle, in my opinion, Elder Lu of the Xuandao Sect will not give up easily."

"Why don't we take this opportunity to raise the price further and find out more about her?"

Upon hearing this, Li Qingyuan smiled faintly, her eyes revealing wisdom and composure.

Then, he slowly shook his head and said:

"Yaoyao, this is unnecessary."

"If Lu Ningwei really wants it, she will continue to raise the price, and we just need to follow suit."

"If she chooses to give up, we can save a considerable amount of money..."

"Moreover, our goal here is not just this Snow Lotus, but also the even rarer 'Blood of the Spirit' awaits our bidding."

"At such a critical moment, saving money where possible is the best policy."

After hearing this, Su Yaoyue suddenly understood and nodded gently in agreement.

She turned her gaze back to the center of the auction hall, pondering to herself:

I want to see how Elder Lu of the Xuandao Sect will react to this situation.
