Someone asked, "Who is she? Why can she sit in the front row? It seems that she is only fifteen or sixteen years old. Is she a disciple of the Lingyun Sect? This auction is organized by Baichuan House, and it is fully owned by Zhuo Qingxuan, the son of the owner of Zhuo House.
Host, I think she must be Zhuo Qingxuan's junior sister."
"Hey, have you heard? Two days ago, the Baichuanlou inn was split open with a sword. It's rare that Boss Zhuo didn't pursue the matter."
"Yes, yes, I heard it was this girl who caused the trouble."
"Do you know who she is?"
"Who?"
"She is Xie Lingyan, from Liuyun City. She betrayed her master and rebelled against the sect. She is a deviant and lawless rebel. She is undisciplined and does all kinds of evil."
"Ah, she is such a person, then why Mr. Zhuo..."
"Why, isn't it obvious? Boss Zhuo is only interested in profit. He is jealous of money. He was probably bribed by this little girl with money, and then he let people in."
…
Everyone was whispering to each other and talking a lot, all saying that Boss Zhuo was a beggar-thy-neighbor and was greedy for profit.
The white-haired god asked, "Do you feel angry when you hear them say this?"
Xie Lingyan shook her head, "No, they are them, I am me, and what kind of person I am is naturally not judged by these people who follow the wind and rain. If I had taken their words at face value, I would have died countless times."
She pretended that she couldn't hear him and sat calmly in her own seat, waiting for the auction to begin.
The master of ceremonies on the stage was announcing the treasures and sacred objects being auctioned today:
There are elixirs, treasures, and top-quality holy objects among them.
Xie Lingyan is not interested in these. What she really wants is Taiyi True Water.
"White Hair, this Taiyi True Water is not very expensive. I heard from Zhuo Qingxuan that you can buy it for up to five hundred spirit stones."
"That's the initial price. As long as you put anything at this auction casually, its price will rise like the tide. It will be ridiculously expensive because it is very rare."
"Why? It stands to reason that few people would be interested in such a cheap thing."
"You also said that if few people are interested in it, then there is no market demand for it."
"Then what kind of person needs to buy this Taiyi True Water?"
"They are generally Confucian and elegant people who like flowers and plants."
Xie Lingyan felt speechless. She was not a Confucian scholar, nor did she like elegance. "Isn't this just plant nutrient solution?"
"You can understand it this way. In other words, the spiritual stones that monks need are actually nutrient solutions."
Xie Lingyan's expression cracked, "I traveled all the way through mountains and rivers just to bid for a bottle of nutrient solution?"
"You can't say that. Spiritual stones have little effect on you. You are still accumulating them while you are still awake."
"Can this be the same? Spiritual stones and gold coins are the medium of exchange in this world. I am a layman and I definitely need them in exchange to get what I want."
The white-haired god was unable to refute her remarks and instead said, "If so, will we leave this Qianxiang Clivia alone?"
"I..." Xie Lingyan was speechless. She didn't know why. She didn't want Qianxiang Clivia to die, so she thought it was a toy for her beloved child. If a child wants a toy, a mother would not be willing to buy it for him.
The white-haired god said, "To be honest, what you want to get this time is a bit tricky."
"What's the meaning?"
"This Taiyi True Water was put up for auction by the Luo family in Xizhou."
"..."
"Do you still remember the real person from the seventh level of the Mahayana Dao Zang last time?"
"Well, it's the powerful real person brought by Sheng Wanling. What happened to him?"
"He is from the Luo family. Last time I abolished his cultivation, from here to there, how do you think the Luo family will make a decision?"
"..." Xie Lingyan's temples ached, and she knew without thinking that the Luo family must hate her to death.
"Are you scared?" The white-haired god couldn't help but ask when he saw her expression of despair.
Xie Lingyan, haha, I'm afraid it won't happen, I just feel unlucky.
Of course, I'm not that depressed.
She obtained the Golden Scales, the Taichu Jue, and many things she obtained easily. It was normal for her to not get what she wanted once or twice.
"White Hair, you bet, see if I can get this Taiyi True Water?"
The white-haired fairy: "..."
He doesn't like gambling.
Xie Lingyan smiled and said, "I don't like it either. It's boring anyway. You can try it by placing a bet."
The white-haired god said, "If you want me to bet, I will definitely let you win."
Yes, what he said was to make sure that she would be able to get the Taiyi True Water.
Xie Lingyan thought, it would be better not to gamble.
If she couldn't get the Taiyi True Water, she would have to find other ways to replace it. Think about it, if people can fly into the sky, what else can't be done in this world?
The white-haired fairy: "..."
"Last time I fought for the innate Bagua Technique with gentle methods. This time I don't want to be polite to them. My current cultivation level is the eighth level of the Guimingyan Holy Realm. Unless those who come to me are above the seventh level of the Mahayana Taoist Realm, otherwise
I do not mind."
"Are you sure? What if ten Mahayana Daozangs on the fifth level deal with you?"
"Then I will definitely pick up two of them."
"There are eight more."
"Five more serious injuries."
"There are three more."
"I'm tied with them."
The white-haired fairy: "..."
Xie Lingyan left people speechless again. In fact, she put it lightly. If ten Mahayana Taoist masters really came, she would be killed in minutes.
Speaking of which, every time I encounter a strong person, it seems that the white-haired god takes action.
The first time he saved his grandma, he rushed to save someone.
The second time in the Cangling Mountains, it was also because of his presence that she would not be shattered to pieces.
The third time he met the people brought by Sheng Wanling, he also helped.
Without him, she would really be dead.
The white-haired god said, "You can't think like that. When I went to save your grandma, did you save Ye Yunchen by your own ability?"
"Um."
"And when you enter the Cangling Mountains, I won't be of much help. You still have to rely on yourself. To be precise, it's your chance."
"It's not that everyone has the opportunity. It belongs to you and you can't escape it no matter how hard you try. If you want to say that everyone has this kind of luck, then why were you the only one who got the gold when so many people entered the Cangling Mountains?
Scales, not only did they get nothing, some even paid with their lives."
Xie Lingyan: "..." She was speechless, "Are you trying to comfort me, or do you want to flatter me and make me feel complacent so that you can fall harder?"
"Can't you think on the bright side?"
"I'm afraid that if I think too well, I will be disappointed or even despair, and my life will be worse than death."
So she would rather imagine the worst outcome, so that if the reverse happens, she doesn't have to be too surprised and become Kong Yiji.
“Is this the pessimist’s choice?”
"What a pessimist, I'm very optimistic."
…………
She didn't want to argue with him anymore, the bidding would begin.
It is a rare opportunity to attend such a large auction.
