MEIWITA Chapter 769: Tyrant-Like Price Hike

---

When that unremarkable grey stone appeared on the platform, Lou Mu Yan narrowed her eyes.

She looked sideways to Mo Yan, and sure enough, she saw his dull eyes light up.

“This stone is very useful for me to advance to Intermediate Unification Realm.” He and Lou Mu Yan met each other’s gaze and said tacitly.

From this woman’s expression, he could just tell that she still remembered that this stone was useful to him.

Because of this grey stone, Lou Mu Yan remembered the scene of meeting Huo Xiao for the first time in Glacial City.

“I wonder what happened to my disciple.” Lou Mu Yan sighed.

Before she left Tian’ling Continent, she taught Huo Xiao many smithing techniques, gave him many of the secret smithing methods that she knew, and also left behind a large amount of cultivation resources.

At that time, Huo Xiao was a grade 6 smith, but now he should’ve broken to grade 7.

“With your influence on Tian’ling Continent and the resources you left behind, he should be doing well.” Mo Yan paused, then said: “But his cultivation aptitude is still a lot worse in comparison. Although you helped him wash his marrow, but it’s not very likely that he’d break through to Core Elemental Realm on Tian’ling Continent and ascend.”

It wasn’t that as long as one had resources, one could cultivate continuously—resources, talent, and opportunities were all indispensable.

With Lou Mu Yan’s care and the resources left behind, there was no suspense for whether Huo Xiao could cultivate to Sword Deity or not—it was only a matter of time. But it’d be difficult if he wanted to ascend, unless he met his own fortuitous opportunity.

“Mm, I hope to see him ascend in the future.” ‘The Master takes one in, but cultivation rests on oneself’. Lou Mu Yan also knew that with Huo Xiao’s talent, the chance of ascension was still relatively slim.

Huo Xiao was her first and only disciple. She still hoped that he could walk far. She had done everything she could do for him on Tian’ling Continent. The road ahead still depended on himself. On the auction stage, the Deputy Chamber Leader began to introduce the origin and function of the dark grey stone.

“This old man guesses that many people here don’t know what this stone is and what it does.” The Deputy Chamber Leader noticed that everyone below revealed curiosity, and there were quite a few demon cultivators with burning desires in their eyes. He said with a smile: “This is a Demon Spiritual Stone.”

Hearing this name, many people from the sea race revealed disappointment—things linked to the word ‘demon’ must have something to do with demon cultivators.

Sure enough, the Deputy Chamber Leader continued: “This Demon Spiritual Stone is only useful for demonic pets or demon cultivators, and is not really useful for Sword Masters.”

“Master Zhan, then what effects does this stone have on demon pets?” A curious voice questioned from one of the private rooms.

The Deputy Chamber Leader said with a smile: “The role of the Demon Spiritual Stone is actually similar to the Comprehension Stone we desire.

“However, the Comprehension Stone that we Sword Masters need are divided into many types of attributes. Only those attributes that match us are useful to us, but the Demon Spiritual Stone contains all attributes, which is useful to all demon cultivators.”

He paused, then continued: “The most important thing is that this fist-sized inconspicuous Demon Spiritual Stone also contains a kind of power of law within, which is a treasure hard to come by in thousands of years for demon cultivators at Unification Realm. It even surpasses a divine-level spiritual item.”

This kind of treasure was needed by too small a population. Under normal circumstances, only demon cultivators would buy it, and few people would spend a lot of money to buy such a treasure for spirit pets.

While under normal circumstances, a demon cultivator was much poorer than the pupils from large clans of the sea race, so this Demon Spiritual Stone wasn’t auctioned as the finale product.

The Demon Cultivators below and those in the private rooms had burning desire in their eyes after hearing the Deputy Chamber Leader—it was as if they were about to merge with that dark grey stone.

Not to mention other demon cultivators, even the spirit pets in the private room were very moved.

However, no one, including Long Yao, wanted to compete with Mo Yan. They only hoped that Lou Mu Yan could quickly win it for Boss Mo.

“Old Zhan, hurry up and auction it.” An intense and deep voice came from the private room on the third floor.

“The identity of the demon cultivator in the private room of the third floor should be extraordinary.” As soon as he spoke, Lou Mu Yan discovered that he was a demon cultivator.

Ye Qing Han said: “Apart from the sea races of the Four Great Seas in the Sea Realm, there is also the Sea Demon Royal Family. They have their own divisions of influence in each of the seas and they’re very powerful. The Four Great Sea Clans haven’t suppressed them either.

“The sea race and the sea demons have differences and fights over interests, but they’ll work together when dealing with outsiders.

“The sea demons are a very special kind of existence, that’s why you see so many demon cultivators in the Royal City.” He added.

“So that’s how it is.” Lou Mu Yan smiled: “But this thing is of great use to Mo Yan, so I have no choice but to snatch it.”

“Go ahead, they don’t dare to openly find fault with my Northern Sea Royal Family.” Ye Qing Han had always been indulgent towards Lou Mu Yan, and he knew what she liked to do.

The status of Ming Xiu in the Human Realm was very noble, and Lou Mu Yan had the support of Ming Xiu in everything she did, so he couldn’t do anything for her.

But in the Sea Realm, even if Lou Mu Yan poked a hole, he could fill it up for her.

“Sure!”

“HAHA…” The Deputy Chamber Leader laughed and said: “Someone can’t wait anymore, then this old man won’t keep you all in suspense any longer.

“The Demon Spiritual Stone will be auctioned now. The starting price is five hundred million low-quality spiritual stones, and each increase in price must not be less than one million spiritual stones.”

“Six hundred million.”

“Seven hundred million.”

“One billion.”

“…”

In only moments, the price was raised to two billion, and there were many nobles of the sea race who wanted to try winning it for their spirit pets among them.

When the price reached four billion, the number of demon cultivators bidding for the item gradually decreased, and the voices of the sea race also basically went silent.

“Five billion.” Lou Mu Yan felt that it was about enough, so she began to bid.

And she didn’t think that this price would be able to help her win the Demon Spiritual Stone. She estimated that there would be more fluctuations.

“…” Hearing that someone directly raised it by one billion, all the sea races revealed looks of watching a good show.

While the sea demons were indignant—why did a sea race come along to contend with them sea demons for this?

“Six billion.” The deep voice in the private room on the third floor bid for the first time.

“Six and a half billion.” A flamboyant female’s voice sounded from the Western Sea’s private room on the third floor.

Lou Mu Yan recognised this voice—it was the Second Princess of the Western Sea that held a grudge with her.

“Eight billion.” She continued to bid the price lazily.

“…” Many people present were all speechless about her price increase, and the sea race and sea demons sitting in the seats below were even shocked.

“Is it necessary for you two sea races to compete with our sea demons for the Demon Spiritual Stone?” The weighty voice was filled with anger.

Lou Mu Yan’s voice still retained a bit of laziness, “Can’t my spirit pet have taken a fancy to this Demon Spiritual Stone?”

“Can’t I buy it as a gift for a sea demon friend?” The voice of the Second Princess sounded at the same time.

The tone of both of them was a bit domineering—basically it was ‘I wouldn’t give in’.

The sea demon who spoke took a deep breath, “Very good. Ten billion.”

He must obtain the Demon Spiritual Stone, but their sea demon race was much inferior to the sea race in terms of wealth, and while he was angry, the also felt a sense of helplessness.

“Ten billion one hundred million.” The Second Princess continued to bid.

Lou Mu Yan said: “Eleven billion.”

“…” Everyone present twitched their lips at her tyrant-like price hike.
