Peerless Little Immortal Doctor

Chapter 399: Chapter 399: Snatch Again

Xia Liu once again captured everyone’s attention because his actions were simply too terrifying.

You snatch the targets from Lin Hui and Zhao Daxi, and perhaps afterwards people will let it go in consideration of the difficulties of cultivation, handing over the Condensing Energy Grass and be done with it.

But now, he’s openly challenging the authority of three Earth-Rank Peak Warriors!

This is toying with one’s life!

“Two billion,” Shi Hentian stated a price nonchalantly.

“Guest number 08 bids two billion!” Ye Xuan announced, smiling as she called out the bid from the participant.

“Xia Liu, stop messing around, those are Earth-Rank Peak Warriors, and dealing with two major families is troublesome enough,” Ouyang Lingtian immediately interrupted just as Xia Liu was about to raise the bid.

“That stone is very useful to me,” Xia Liu said with a slight smile.

“At least five Earth-Rank Peak Warriors, are you confident you can escape?” Ouyang Lingtian saw determination on Xia Liu’s face, certain that he wouldn’t give up.

If one has no ability to escape from the hands of Earth-Rank Peak Warriors.

What’s the point of getting the stone if, in the end, you’re still going to be killed and robbed?

“Just five Earth-Rank Peaks, I am confident, just watch,” Xia Liu stopped explaining and was about to raise the bid.

Just then, the crowd in the venue gasped in astonishment again.

“Elder Qiu Wenfu has raised the bid to five hundred million!”

“Family Head Yan Wuqing seems unwilling to give up either, bidding six hundred million.”

“Loose Cultivator Shi Hentian is also determined, ten billion now!”

Listening to Ye Xuan announcing the bids of the three, the crowd at the venue began to buzz.

This was a struggle among Earth-Rank Warriors.

Because Xia Liu had not made a bid for a long time, everyone thought he realized his mistake, and they focused their attention on Yan Wuqing and the other two.

“Daoist Fellow Shi, ten billion is no small sum, wouldn’t it be nice to save it and enjoy life?” As the head of a second-rate family, Yan Wuqing was especially sensitive to money.

Ten billion was roughly the family’s income for a quarter. If the struggle continues there might be more, and even if he won the auction, the figure would roll into the Heaven-Rank digits.

“Yeah, Daoist Fellow Shi, I don’t think that stone is all that eye-catching; keeping the money to enjoy life sounds quite good,” Qiu Wenfu also began to dissuade, agreeing with Yan Wuqing.

Both being from families, they certainly had money, but such meaningless competition would eventually harm themselves.

And since the Yan and Qiu families were close, no matter whose hands the stone fell into in the end, it would likely be shared.

But Shi Hentian was different, he was just a loose cultivator.

Without a sect or clan, if it weren’t for his Earth-Rank Peak cultivation, a loose cultivator would never stand out at any time.

Not to mention having status and position.

“My two daoist fellows, I, Shi, still have some savings. As we all know, unless it reaches the limit, I won’t give up on this stone,” Shi Hentian’s attitude was very firm.

He was over eighty years old, having reached Earth-Rank Peak twenty years ago and had been searching for a way to break through to the next level for decades.

Now that he saw an opportunity, how could he possibly give up?

A loose cultivator, unlike families or sects, doesn’t need to consider so much, their life’s pursuit is the ultimate in Martial Dao!

If this stone could truly help Shi Hentian advance to Heaven Rank, he would definitely be ecstatic.

“Daoist Fellow Shi, since that’s the case, then let’s see whose resources are greater,” Yan Wuqing’s expression grew stern, as Shi Hentian was clearly determined not to back down.

Yan Wuqing had just made eye contact with Qiu Wenfu, and they agreed to split the final bid price, no matter how much it was.

After obtaining the stone, they would study it together.

Qiu Wenfu did not oppose this suggestion, even considering it very good under the current circumstances; the two families could deal with a loose cultivator together.

“The latest price, guest number 180 bids one billion and ten million!” Just as everyone in the venue was ready to watch Yan Wuqing and Shi Hentian fight it out, Ye Xuan’s words broke the tense atmosphere.

“Wow! It’s him again!”

“What in the world is his identity!”

“Terrifying, absolutely terrifying!”

“Bidding against Earth-Rank Warriors for items!”

…

When they came back to their senses, the crowd burst into exclamations.

They all focused their gazes on Xia Liu, unable to believe that it was Xia Liu once again!

There were over a hundred Earth-Rank Warriors present, and they viewed Xia Liu differently now, not daring to compete with people like Shi Hentian for the stone.

And yet a Mysterious Rank Warrior dared to do so, what was this all about?

A calf that does not fear a tiger because it’s young?@@novelbin@@

Shi Hentian, Yan Wuqing, and Qiu Wenfu also paused in dumbfoundment.

They initially thought that Xia Liu was just ignorant, and that’s why he placed the first bid. They felt they should understand the young martial artists present.

But now, he had suppressed them again by calling out a bid of ten million.

What was this, a slap in their own faces? A slap in the faces of Earth-Rank Peak Warriors?

“Haha! This is so interesting! VIP no. 180, tsk tsk.” Lin Hui gazed at Xia Liu for a long time, and now he didn’t know how to express his feelings.

Even though he was a Yellow-Rank Peak martial artist, being part of a family with a profound background, he held a disdainful view of Mysterious Rank martial artists.

Xia Liu’s actions now seemed even more laughable to him, actually competing with Earth-Rank Warriors for items.

He was already somewhat worried that once Xia Liu left the venue, he would no longer have the chance to retrieve the Condensing Energy Grass.

“Hahaha, heroes emerge from the youth. I give up, and I’ll let Daoist Fellow Shi and that little friend continue to bid,” Yan Wuqing suddenly said with a light laugh amidst the shock of the crowd.

“Hehe, I give up too,” said Qiu Wenfu, smiling faintly and waving his hand dismissively.

Hearing what they said and looking at their expressions, the crowd all shook their heads.

Everyone could see the meaning behind their words.

Giving up on the bidding didn’t mean giving up on the item; they just wanted to let Xia Liu spend the money to buy it and then take it back without lifting a finger.

Extremely clever, truly clever.

“Hehe, I truly appreciate the generosity of the two seniors,” said Xia Liu, beaming as he rose to his feet and bowed with his hands clasped.

Hiss…

The surrounding crowd sucked in a breath of cold air once again. They thought they had heard wrong, but when they saw Xia Liu standing up, it was no mistake!

This guy even stood up to express his thanks. They wondered if he even had a brain. Had he really thought that Yan Wuqing and Qiu Wenfu had given up their desire for the stone because they were serious about giving up the bidding?

Ridiculous! The crowd no longer wanted to pass any judgment on Xia Liu.

Because a dead man, and one whose cultivation was so low, was never scarce in this world.

“The latest price: 1.1 billion!” Suddenly, Ye Xuan on the stage announced.

“Hm? Senior Shi Hentian has bid again, it seems he is more focused on the stone,” someone remarked.

“No, no, I think Senior Shi is declaring that he has more right to acquire the stone,” another chimed in.

“What do you mean?”

“Think about it, he’s the last one to bid. Even if he loses to Xia Liu, he can ask for it openly and legitimately, whereas if Family Head Yan or Elder Qiu were to act, it would be considered stealing.”

“What’s the difference between the two?”

“Of course, there’s a difference. If you don’t shut up, you might end up like that fool over there.”
