554: Mu Qingcheng's heart fluttered

"Nine million." Cang Qingyue frowned and raised her bidding paddle again.

"Nine million five hundred thousand."

Yan Qingyun gritted his teeth and raised his bidding paddle.

"Ten million." The Old Man in Green Robes shouted, his voice resonating clearly.

At this moment, the bidding at the auction entered a heated phase.

Upon hearing the Old Man in Green Robes's bid, Mu Qingcheng slowly lowered the paddle she was about to raise, as ten million had already exceeded her budget, and she hadn't brought that many divine origin stones with her this time.

Just then, Yang Lingchen suddenly grabbed Mu Qingcheng's hand, raised it, and loudly declared, "Eleven million."

"Bastard, what are you doing? How do I have eleven million divine origin stones?" Mu Qingcheng chided softly.

"Senior Sister Mu, I have some divine origin stones here. You can use them first, and return them to me when you are financially comfortable later."

After Yang Lingchen finished speaking, he handed over a storage ring filled with ten million divine origin stones.

"Ten million? Where did you get so many divine origin stones?" A hint of surprise appeared in Mu Qingcheng's eyes.

This was ten million mid-grade divine origin stones! Even for some Peak Dominator Realm Cultivators, it would be extremely difficult to produce so many divine origin stones.

Yet Yang Lingchen, a mere Myriad Illusions Realm Cultivator, had so easily lent her ten million divine origin stones, which gave her an incredible feeling.

"I picked them up," Yang Lingchen said casually.

"Aren't you afraid I won't return them to you?"

Mu Qingcheng's lips curved slightly as she gazed at Yang Lingchen, as if trying to see through him.

"Senior Sister Mu saved Sister Hanyan, so she is my benefactor. What's ten million divine origin stones compared to that?" Yang Lingchen said with a calm demeanor.

"You haven't used this trick on many women, have you?" Mu Qingcheng's Face showed a faint smile.

"No such thing." Yang Lingchen quickly shook his head and said, "Besides Senior Sister Mu, I've never been so generous in front of a woman."

"Thank you. I will definitely return the divine origin stones you lent me." Mu Qingcheng smiled faintly.

At this moment, Yang Lingchen's image in her heart had clearly risen significantly.

At least in her opinion, Yang Lingchen's character was absolutely unimpeachable.

"Eleven million five hundred thousand." Cang Qingyue bit her pink lip lightly and raised her bidding paddle again.

"Twelve million." Yan Qingyun gritted his teeth and said.

"Thirteen million."

Mu Qingcheng confidently raised her bidding paddle. With Yang Lingchen's support of ten million divine origin stones, she felt much more at ease.

When Mu Qingcheng called out the price of thirteen million, the venue fell silent. After all, thirteen million had already exceeded the value of this Heavenly Star Sword. Continuing to bid would clearly not be worth it.

At this point, Cang Qingyue, Yan Qingyun, and the Old Man in Green Robes, who had been bidding, all chose to give up.

"Thirteen million, going once."

"Thirteen million, going twice."

"Thirteen million, going thrice."

"Sold!"

"Congratulations! Young Miss Mu has successfully bid for this Spirit God Realm treasured sword." A maidservant brought the Heavenly Star Sword to Mu Qingcheng.

After paying thirteen million divine origin stones, the Heavenly Star Sword was finally stored by Mu Qingcheng in her secret treasure space.

"Thank you, these divine origin stones are for you, I'll return the rest when we get back." Mu Qingcheng smiled sweetly, returning the extra divine origin stones to Yang Lingchen.

"Senior Sister Mu is too polite. We are fellow disciples, we should support each other." Yang Lingchen accepted the divine origin stones.

Looking at Yang Lingchen's handsome and extraordinary Face, and his gentle, refined, and humble demeanor, a ripple of emotion stirred in Mu Qingcheng's heart.

"Next up for auction is a Dream Illusion Grass. I believe everyone knows its effects. As long as one consumes this Dream Illusion Grass, it can directly raise a Myriad Illusions Realm Cultivator by one minor Realm, and even a Dominator Realm Cultivator can raise by half a minor Realm."

Liu Ying gently tapped the table with her wooden hammer. "Starting price is one million divine origin stones. The bidding begins."

When Liu Ying brought out the Dream Illusion Grass, a fiery glint instantly flashed in Yang Lingchen's eyes, and he immediately made up his mind: no matter what, he had to try his best to win this Dream Illusion Grass.

As long as he obtained this Dream Illusion Grass, Yang Lingchen could raise his cultivation level to the eighth layer of the Myriad Illusions Realm. At that time, entering the East Saint Secret Realm would provide him with an extra layer of safety.

"One million five hundred thousand."

"I offer two million."

"Two million five hundred thousand."

"Three million."

As the bidding began, the price of the Dream Illusion Grass quickly reached three million divine origin stones.

Although the Dream Illusion Grass could only raise Dominator Realm Cultivators by half a minor Realm, it still couldn't deter everyone's enthusiasm. Many Myriad Illusions Realm and Dominator Realm Cultivators participated in the auction.

Therefore, the price continued to rise steadily.

When the price of this Dream Illusion Grass reached five million mid-grade divine origin stones, the number of bidders gradually decreased. After all, the value of this Dream Illusion Grass was around five million, and going higher would clearly not be worth it.

"Five million five hundred thousand."

Yang Lingchen raised his bidding paddle.

"Seven million."

Just then, Yan Qingyun raised his bidding paddle. He turned to look at Yang Lingchen, a mocking smirk playing on his lips.

"Nine million. If you're a man, follow it."

Yang Lingchen looked at Yan Qingyun provocatively, his eyes filled with disdain.

Since the other party wanted trouble, he didn't mind tricking him again. Anyway, with his cultivation speed, it wouldn't take long to break through a minor Realm.

If Yan Qingyun dared to follow, he could just give up on it. After all, the Dream Illusion Grass was useless to Peak Dominator Realm individuals, so he might as well let the other party be stuck with it.

If the other party didn't follow, then he wouldn't lose anything by taking it, as what he needed most right now was to improve his cultivation level.

As expected, as soon as Yang Lingchen's words fell, everyone turned their gaze to Yan Qingyun, awaiting his response.

At this moment, Yan Qingyun's Face darkened. With so many people watching him, if he didn't follow, he would lose a lot of Face. If he did follow, the other party might trick him again.

He couldn't help but regret it now. Why did he bid? This Dream Illusion Grass was completely useless to him.

Now, what troubled Yan Qingyun was whether to spend ten million divine origin stones to save Face, or to lose Face in public and save some money.

"The dignified Young Sect Master of the Yan Yang Sect doesn't even dare to follow a mere nine million divine origin stones? Tsk... tsk! It seems he's really not a man!" Yang Lingchen shook his head, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"Ten million." Yan Qingyun could no longer tolerate it. He raised his bidding paddle again and coldly looked at Yang Lingchen, "Little Bastard! Aren't you arrogant? If you have the guts, follow it."

"Whether I have the guts or not is not for you to say. Ten million, right?" Yang Lingchen asked arrogantly.

"That's right, it's ten million." Yan Qingyun said coldly.

"Oh!" Yang Lingchen shrugged and sneered, "I won't follow. You can have it."

"You...?"

Yan Qingyun was so angry that blood surged to his chest, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. He hadn't expected Yang Lingchen to not follow.

One must know that the Dream Illusion Grass had a very significant effect on Myriad Illusions Realm Cultivators.

Yan Qingyun had originally estimated that Yang Lingchen would be very eager to obtain this Dream Illusion Grass, which was why he had raised the price again, wanting to trick Yang Lingchen! Now, he hadn't tricked the other party, but instead had tricked himself badly.

This was ten million mid-grade divine origin stones! Although Yan Qingyun could afford it, taking it out all at once would still be a heavy blow to him.

Adding to the two million plus he was tricked out of by Yang Lingchen earlier, it meant that in this auction, he had been tricked out of over twelve million by Yang Lingchen.

"Look how angry you are. If you don't have the strength, don't act tough, alright? A mere ten million divine origin stones makes you so angry. I really overestimated you." Yang Lingchen's Face showed a contemptuous smile.

"Idiot! You just wait, if I don't tear you into ten thousand pieces, I swear I'm not a man." Yan Qingyun's eyes held venomous killing intent.

"Moron!" Yang Lingchen sneered, no longer bothering with the other party.
