The Hero of a Cool Novel? I, the Villain, Will Kill You!

148: Mysterious auction item, Black BanaMoreover, compared to the threat from God Ancestor, which could be resolved by promising benefits, Master Wu Yan was more afraid of Wang Qing, that unpredictable factor, infiltrating the Dao Realm. At that time, the dao realm mother cauldron might be taken away.

He also had a feeling that Hongmeng Empress and Wang Qing might have a romantic relationship.

If Wang Qing and Hongmeng Empress found out about the Dao Realm’s plan to drain the Hongmeng Sea, the Dao Realm would likely be destroyed in an instant.

At the same time... Wang Qing, having passed through many chaotic streets, had returned to his original private room in the Dao Source Ancient Tower.

The auction had reached its Middle Stage, and not only were Transcendence Pills being auctioned, but Chaos-level Spirit Treasures had also appeared.

Every Immortal Emperor had a few Innate Spirit Treasures for self-defense, but Chaos-level treasures were rare; even Transcenders would covet them.

Furthermore, the Sky Fox Auctioneer revealed that Primordial Spirit Treasures would appear at the final auction tomorrow.

As soon as this news broke, the entire auction house entered a heated phase.

Not only were the creatures participating in the auction happy, but even the Loose Cultivator Alliance outside the Dao Source Ancient Tower was overjoyed.

This was because those participating in the auction were targets for the temporarily allied Loose Cultivators to kill and seize treasures.

The more valuable the items purchased by the bidders, the higher their chances of killing people and acquiring supreme treasures.

”The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish. If Primordial Spirit Treasures really appear tomorrow, how can I miss the opportunity for robbery and arson?”

Wang Qing leaned on the window with one hand, looking down at the auction floor on the first level, making up his mind.

If Primordial-level treasures appeared tomorrow, he would definitely get involved.

”Everyone, quiet please.”

”Next, the one hundred and first auction item is the legendary black bian flower.”

”It can wield part of the power of the Dark Origin, and each petal can withstand a full-force blow from a Transcender at the seventh stage.”

”Starting price, one thousand source stones, with no upper limit...”

The Sky Fox Auctioneer gently clapped her hands, and with a flick of her sleeve, a dark light cluster, as deep as night, slowly emerged from her palm.

Within the light cluster, a black bian flower quietly floated.

Each petal seemed to be condensed from the purest shadows, with a deep, dark luster flowing across its surface.

A dense power of Dark Origin spread out like a tide, causing the entire auction house space to tremble slightly.

Even the light seemed to be swallowed by this power, plunging into a suppressive silence.

In an instant, all eyes on the auction seats focused on that dark light cluster.

Several Transcenders in the front row narrowed their pupils; some unconsciously leaned forward, their fingertips gently tapping the armrests of their seats.

Some Immortal Emperor-level beings in the back rows held their breath, their eyes filled with both desire and apprehension... A defensive supreme treasure that could withstand a full-force blow from a Transcender at the seventh stage was almost nonexistent in the entire Dao Realm.

Some secretly calculated their Sect’s reserves, wondering if they could purchase and safely take away the black bian flower.

Others had already clutched their communication jade talismans, planning to bid for the bian flower and then call for support from their forces.

Even from the private rooms on the second floor and above, several subtle Divine Thought fluctuations emerged, intertwining and colliding like an undercurrent in the venue.

Wang Qing leaned by the window, his gaze sweeping over the black bian flower, a faint curve playing on the corner of his mouth.

The black bian flower was another one of his trump cards.

Back in the Tianyuan Secret Realm, he had relied on the black bian flower to pursue Chu Daosheng.

Now that another black bian flower appeared here, he was very curious where Dao Source Commerce had acquired it from.

”Four thousand source stones...”

”Five thousand source stones...”

”Six thousand...”

”Ten thousand...”

”Forty thousand...”

”One hundred thousand...”

After a moment of silence, the bidding immediately became incessant. The first-floor auction seats had only reached six thousand source stones.

The private rooms on the second floor and above directly added forty thousand.

A faint voice rang out from the top floor, starting with one hundred thousand.

At this, everyone could no longer sit still, and all eyes turned to the private rooms on the top floor.

Through the window of Private Room One on the top floor, a handsome man walked to the window, his face full of smugness, casually scanning the auction floor on the first level.

”Long Qinghong?”

”Didn’t he go to the Vast Dao Field to listen to the Dao? When did he return to the Dao Realm?”

”No, his aura is that of a Transcender at the fifth stage!”

”Could it be that he had an Epiphany while listening to the Dao in Cangmang, advancing from a Transcender at the fourth stage to the fifth stage?”

On the auction seats, numerous beings discussed animatedly, their eyes filled with surprise.

Long Qinghong was the Young Lord of Shanqiong Cave, considered the Crown Prince of the Dao Realm.

They could not afford to offend such a prominent figure, dared not bid, and lacked the financial resources to do so.

”One hundred and eleven thousand source stones.”

Wang Qing’s calm voice echoed from Private Room Three.

”Hiss...”

The entire venue gasped. ”Who is in this Private Room Three? How dare he compete with Young Lord Long for a treasure?”

”Your Excellency, do you have that many source stones?”

”Even if you have the financial means to buy the black bian flower, can you take it away with just your strength as a Transcender at the first stage?”

Private Room One was opposite Private Room Three. Long Qinghong scanned Wang Qing, who was wearing a ghost mask, from across the distance, his words full of mockery.

Wang Qing was noncommittal, shaking his head and sneering, ”The auction belongs to those with wealth.”

”Whether I can take it away or not is my business. If you want the black bian flower, then bid!”

”You...” Long Qinghong’s expression was a little ugly; this was the first time he had been publicly mocked.

”What ’you’? Hurry up! If you want to bid, then bid quickly. If not, shut up.”

Wang Qing didn’t care who was opposite him. He looked down through the window at the auction platform on the first floor and spoke to the auctioneer:

”Aren’t you the auctioneer? Why are you still standing there stunned?”

”If no one bids, why don’t you strike the glazed jade plate to set the price?”

The Sky Fox Auctioneer looked up at Private Room One, and seeing no words from Long Qinghong, she quickly waved her other free hand to strike the pricing jade plate.

”Dong...”

”One hundred and eleven thousand source stones, once...”

”One hundred and eleven thousand source stones, twice...”

”One hundred and eleven thousand source stones, thri—”

”One hundred and fifty thousand source stones.” Long Qinghong’s gritted voice rang out again from Private Room One.

The Sky Fox Auctioneer quickly stopped, turning her gaze to Private Room Three.

Everyone else’s gaze followed suit, tightly fixed on Private Room Three on the top floor.

Wang Qing smiled faintly, ”Two hundred thousand.”

”Three hundred thousand.” Long Qinghong raised the price again, his gaze provocatively directed at the masked man in Private Room Three opposite him.

”Idiot, this black bian flower is worth at most two hundred thousand source stones.”

”Rich fool, I’ll let you have it!” Wang Qing showed a look of disdain, leaving the window and sitting back at the table.

Long Qinghong’s face flushed, suppressing the anger in his heart.

”Clang...”

He slammed his palm on the window sill, shattering it to express his displeasure, and angrily turned away from the window.

”Three hundred thousand, once.”

”Three hundred thousand, twice.”

”Three hundred thousand, thrice! The black bian flower goes to the esteemed guest in Private Room One.”

The Sky Fox Auctioneer was very quick-witted, immediately setting the price and handing the black bian flower to a maid to be sent to the top floor.

She was truly afraid that Long Qinghong would go back on his word.

After all, with three hundred thousand source stones, she would get a commission of ten thousand, enough to Cultivate for millions of years.

She couldn’t let Long Qinghong, this big spender, get away.
