Chapter 62 A Core Formation Stage Expert
Gray was very surprised. Why could these two ignore the pressure he released? Could it be that their strength was above his?
If that's the case, he'll have to think it over carefully.
When he detected Tao Tao's cultivation level, he was disdainful. However, upon closer inspection, he discovered that she was actually a transformed demon beast, which piqued his interest. But he was not afraid of her cultivation level, so he continued to probe Bai Yan. As a result, he found that he was only at the Qi Refining stage, which left him speechless.
How could someone at the Qi Refining stage be unafraid of his pressure? Impossible, absolutely impossible. Either he possesses some powerful magic weapon, or he's hiding his cultivation level. Old Gray felt that the latter was more likely.
But even he couldn't discern the truth, which was enough to show that the opponent's strength was above his.
So Old Grey dared not act rashly again, and obediently entered through the main gate, asking with a smile, "What business do you have that requires me to come in person? Is there some extraordinary treasure?"
"Greetings, Elder Hui. Let me introduce you to these three distinguished guests. They have purchased two treasures at auction, but they do not have enough spirit stones and need to pay in kind."
"So you invited me here to appraise antiques?"
If it were an ordinary treasure, Gong Qin could identify it. Since he was specially invited, it must be a remarkable item.
"Yes, Elder Grey, please take a look." Gong Qin respectfully handed the scale to Elder Grey. Although the scale was silver, it had a faint, colorful glow that was quite dazzling.
"This..." A hint of surprise appeared on Gray Old Man's originally calm face, and then he became more and more excited, and you could feel his hands trembling.
"Gray Old Man?"
Gong Qin was worried and asked telepathically. Only then did Elder Hui come to his senses and excitedly telepathically say, "This is a powerful treasure. Not to mention our auction house, you might not even see a few pieces in the entire Fengyuan Continent. Where did they get it?"
"So this really is a dragon scale?" Gong Qin was no longer calm. If it really was a dragon scale, it wouldn't just be worth tens of thousands of dollars. Strictly speaking, there was no price that matched its preciousness.
"Dragon scales?" Old Gray was greatly surprised upon hearing this.
"Isn't it a dragon scale?"
Seeing the strange expression on Old Gray's face, Gong Qin became even more puzzled.
"I can't tell what kind of monster's scales they are, but they are definitely not from an ordinary monster. They might even be level 10 or higher. I can't be sure about the fact that they say they are dragon scales."
"Do you think it's worth using it to offset 70,000 spirit stones?"
"Only 70,000? Of course it's worth it. I'll take this back and study it carefully. You can decide what to do with it yourself."
"Wait, if you just take it like this, we might not be able to explain it..."
"What, do you have doubts about what I said?"
Gray Elder's expression changed, and he suddenly released his pressure. Gong Qin immediately felt as if her internal organs had been struck. She quickly retreated, shaking her head with a pale face. Only then did Gray Elder stop.
After the appraisal was completed, Old Gray gave Bai Yan an awkward smile and asked, "May I ask where this item came from?"
"I have no obligation to tell you these things. You just need to assess its value." Bai Yan showed no respect whatsoever, and surprisingly, Old Gray wasn't angry. He just smiled apologetically, "I was being presumptuous, Gong girl. You handle this matter. I'm going back to work."
After giving his instructions, Elder Hui looked at Bai Yan and surprisingly sent a telepathic invitation, "Would this fellow Daoist be interested in coming to my place for a cup of my finest Tianshan Snow Tea?"
"No," Bai Yan replied calmly, without any extra emotion. Old Gray had no choice but to give up. "I hope we'll meet again someday."
After saying that, Old Gray took the dragon scale and left.
Gong Qin and Wu Sanduo had no way to express their grievances. After all, this person was their elder, and it was already good enough if they didn't offend him. How could they dare to disobey him? However, since the things had already been taken away, there was nothing more to say.
"We offered a high price of 70,000 spirit stones for the scales just now. I believe the three of you will have no objections. So these two treasures are yours." Gong Qin smiled and handed an exquisite box to Tao Tao. She then led them to open the restrictions on the cage and handed the cage over to Tao Tao as well. "The Thunder Beast is yours too."
"Thank you." Tao Tao nodded, carefully put away the Heavenly Origin Pill and the Thunder Beast, and glanced at Bai Yan silently. Seeing him standing there calmly, she felt a strange unease.
Why use dragon scales when puppets would have been fine?
"By the way, this Thunder Beast is not easy to tame, so you'd better be careful and not hurt yourself."
"Understood."
After getting their items, Tao Tao and his two companions left the auction, showing no interest in what came next. However, just as they stepped out the door, they heard that the auction had ended and that the last two items in the blind auction had fallen into the hands of the Xuanyuan family, which made many people indignant.
But he was just unhappy inside; there was nothing he could do about it, since the other party had the most power in Wude Town.
"Please wait a moment, senior."
Having obtained the Yihe Pill, Xuan Yuanmingyue hurriedly chased after them, stopped Bai Yan and the others, and presented the sandalwood box with both hands, saying, "I offended you last time, senior, and have come to apologize. I hope you can forgive my rudeness."
"You've already apologized, there's no need to apologize again," Bai Yan said calmly, showing no interest in the box she offered and no intention of taking it away.
Fearing he might not know what was inside, Xuan Yuanmingyue hurriedly said, "Senior is so magnanimous, I am deeply grateful. I wonder if you have reconsidered the matter I mentioned last time. Although our Xuan Yuan family is small, the resources we can provide are definitely not comparable to those of other families. This Yihe Pill is a gift for our meeting, and I hope you will accept it."
"Yihe Dan?" Upon hearing this, Song Chaofeng was greatly surprised, but having just experienced what had happened, nothing seemed to be able to shock him too much.
"That's right, it's Yihe Dan. I believe it will be useful for you, senior."
"This item is of no use to me, take it back."
Bai Yan wouldn't take Yi He Dan seriously, especially since the other party wanted to use this to win him over, which he had no interest in at all, so he naturally refused decisively.
Unexpectedly, even Yihe Dan didn't catch Bai Yan's eye, which made Xuan Yuanmingyue even more interested in him. It seems that Uncle Zhao was right; this person's cultivation level was far higher than they had imagined. Perhaps he had already entered the Core Formation stage, so she was even less willing to let him go.
"It was Mingyue who was being presumptuous. Since seniors don't need it, why not leave it to the two juniors?"
Xuanyuan Mingyue handed the box to Tao Tao again. She thought that if Bai Yan was not tempted, how could these two Qi Refining cultivators not be tempted?
To everyone's surprise, Tao Tao looked at the box, shook his head, and said, "I don't need it either, thank you."
This is strange. Even she doesn't want it? Could it be that the senior doesn't allow them to accept it? Xuan Yuan Mingyue was a little disappointed. There was no way to stay in this stalemate, so she had no choice but to silently put it away. "Then you can come to the Xuan Yuan family to find me anytime you need it in the future. The doors of our Xuan Yuan family will always be open to the three of you."
"Okay, I understand." Tao Tao nodded. "Then we'll be going now."
She was eager to release the small animal and didn't want to waste any time, so she said goodbye to the three of them and left.
Watching their departing figures, Xuan Yuanmingyue sighed inwardly. Sure enough, the higher one's cultivation level, the harder it is to win them over.
"It's quite amusing to see Miss Mingyue get the short end of the stick for the first time."
Lin Ziyu of the Lin family snapped open her folding fan and strolled leisurely to Xuan Yuanmingyue's side, her words full of sarcasm.
"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Young Master Lin. It was truly Mingyue's fault." Xuan Yuan Mingyue gritted her teeth, responded coldly, gave him a cold look, and then turned and left.
As soon as she left, Lin Ziyu narrowed her eyes slightly and said to the servant beside her, "Go and find out where those three are. Remember, don't get too close."
"Yes."
