104: Chapter 104 Spending Millions

All the male Cultivators present immediately boiled over, their eyes gleaming like hungry wolves, wishing they could devour the three women on stage.

Faced with this situation, the three women's delicate bodies couldn't stop trembling, their eyes revealing fear and unease, and despair grew in the depths of their hearts.

The moment they stepped onto the auction stage, their fates were sealed. They would become... if they were lucky, they might survive, but it would be a fate worse than death!

If they were unlucky, they would breathe their last after suffering brutal humiliation!

With such a miserable fate ahead, they couldn't help but be afraid!

After those three women took the stage, a smile that every man understood appeared on Steward Shi Zixing's face. After glancing around at the male Cultivators present, he spoke slowly:

"Everyone has likely guessed what the next auction items are, but this old man still needs to give an introduction!"

After a pause, he scanned the male Cultivators again and said, "These three female Cultivators are no ordinary people! Not only are they at the Early Stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but they are also third-grade Alchemists, Artifact Refiners, and Talisman Makers!"

"Furthermore, after our professional training, I guarantee that you Fellow Daoists will experience what ultimate earthly bliss is! They are guaranteed to be original, authentic, and clean!"

"The starting price is one million Spirit Stones, with each bid increase no less than one hundred thousand!"

After hearing the introduction, all the male Cultivators could no longer restrain themselves. Bidders came one after another, and the price climbed at an absurd speed, soaring to three million in the blink of an eye.

The revenue generated after buying these three women would definitely exceed this amount, and it would be a continuous stream of income. How could they not be frenzied?

Whether used for Cultivation or to have them perform Alchemy, Artifact Refining, or Talisman making, they were top-tier!

"What? Interested?" Tao Yao asked quietly, watching Ning Yuan as he stared unblinkingly at the auction stage. She was all too familiar with that look in his eyes.

"A little... Huh? No, how is that possible? I'm a man of integrity!" Fortunately, he reacted quickly; otherwise, he would have spoken his true thoughts. Ning Yuan secretly called himself lucky.

For an old lecher... bah, for a man of integrity like himself, how could he be moved by a set of triplet sisters!

"Tch, all men are the same! Eating from the bowl while eyeing the pot!" Tao Yao rolled her eyes. As if she didn't know him; if Ning Yuan were truly a man of integrity, she wouldn't even know where she'd be right now.

"Hey, don't say that! At least I'm not that kind of person!" Ning Yuan said grandly, then struck a pose of righteous indignation. "To save them from this sea of bitterness, I've decided to strike... wait, I mean bid!"

"Hmm?" Hearing this, Tao Yao's beautiful eyes widened, her voice carrying a hint of threat.

"The money is in my hands, I'll spend it however I want. What's it to you?" Ning Yuan replied firmly. He was set on getting these triplet sisters; even if a True Immortal came, they couldn't stop him.

"Five million!"

Ning Yuan didn't give her a chance to refuse and directly shouted his bid. As soon as he spoke, the entire venue erupted in an uproar. This bastard was at it again; would there be any beauties left for them?

Curses rang out continuously in the hall as people hurled insults at Ning Yuan, calling him absolutely inhuman!

If it weren't for the auction's rule against fighting, they would have killed this scoundrel long ago. How could he still be allowed to sit there?

"Ning Yuan, you're dead!" Tao Yao's teeth itched with anger, and she gave him a vicious glare.

"I'm waiting!" Ning Yuan said, completely unafraid. Could she really kill him? At most, he'd get a beating, but for the Triplets, it was worth it!

"Eight million!"

Suddenly, a grim voice rang out, suppressing all the shouting. The auction hall immediately fell silent as everyone looked toward the source of the sound.

After seeing the person's appearance, everyone gasped, followed by hushed whispers.

"It's Old Devil Hu. That fool is in big trouble!"

"This old ghost can't live without women. Any young and beautiful woman can't escape his demonic clutches!"

"Tsk tsk, there's going to be a good show!"

"..."

Hearing the voice, Ning Yuan couldn't help but look toward Old Devil Hu, only to meet a pair of eyes filled with grimness. It made his whole body tremble, and a chill uncontrollably surged from the depths of his heart.

Fortunately, Tao Yao acted in time. He felt a wave of warmth flow through his body, dispersing the chill in his heart. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief and quickly look away.

"Still want to go on?" Tao Yao said with a smile in her eyes, delighted to see Ning Yuan suffer a setback after how he had just spoken to her.

Ning Yuan said confidently, "With you here, what do I have to fear?"

"Aren't you afraid I'll ignore you?" Tao Yao retorted.

Ning Yuan said with a beaming smile, "Would you have the heart to?"

Hearing this, Tao Yao's breath hitched, and she then gritted her teeth. "I... would!"

"Joking again!"

"I..." Tao Yao almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. It was over; he had her cornered. This was what it meant to be favored—to be completely unafraid!

"Ten million!"

Seeing her speechless, a triumphant smile curled on Ning Yuan's lips, and he shouted loudly once more.

Hearing this price, everyone present immediately boiled over, casting incredible looks at Ning Yuan. They had truly witnessed today what it meant to be filthy rich.

"Hmph!"

Old Devil Hu was even more incensed. Killing Intent began to rise in his heart, and his surrounding Killing Intent unconsciously leaked out. The people around him were startled and quickly distanced themselves, fearing they might be caught in the crossfire.

Everyone present knew that Old Devil Hu would not let the other party off easily. After the auction ended, there would be a good show!

"Ten million Spirit Stones. Is there any higher bid?" Steward Shi Zixing asked with a beaming smile. This price had far exceeded the cost of training them; even if no one raised the bid, it was a massive profit.

Steward Shi Zixing's words echoed in the auction hall, and for a long time, no one spoke. To be able to produce ten million Spirit Stones, the person's identity was clearly extraordinary, and with Old Devil Hu watching like a hawk nearby, offending either side was not a wise move.

"Then congratulations to this Fellow Daoist for bringing home the beauties!"

After a moment of silence with no further bids, Steward Shi Zixing immediately declared the auction successful. He then waved for the Triplets to be taken down and said with a smile again:

"Then we shall continue with the next item. This is..."

Under Steward Shi Zixing's introduction, the atmosphere became lively again. Furthermore, in the subsequent auctions, neither Ning Yuan nor the other person made any more bids, allowing everyone to breathe a sigh of relief.

Finally, they were allowed a sip of the soup!

However, Steward Shi Zixing was somewhat dissatisfied. If the big spender didn't bid, how was he supposed to make money? Consequently, during every item introduction, he frequently looked toward Ning Yuan, hoping he would bid.

But Ning Yuan remained unmoved. Wanting him to spend more money? In your dreams!

Moreover, these weren't the grand finale items. If something better came along later and he was out of money, wouldn't that be embarrassing?

Seeing this, Steward Shi Zixing shook his head in disappointment. Now he could only place his hopes on the final grand finale items to pique his interest and fetch a good price!
