115 Parting Ways (1/2)
The crowd sucked a mouthful of air. They already knew whose voice was this. They instinctively looked at number 201 who was sitting composed and cool, as if he did not mind those weird looks being thrown. They were really curious who was this number 201 who could fork out such a terrifying amount of money!
”You again?!” Larl shouted. His enraged voice rang entirely inside the hall. He was clenching his fist that it almost bled. He really wanted to skin this person alive.
For some reason, those from other first-rate sects were elated. Probably because this was currently happening to Larl, who just boasted and taunted them just now.
”What me again?” The number 201 did not even bother looking at him, ”This is an auction, who bids the highest is the winner. Do you have a problem with it?”
”You!” Larl pointed his finger to number 201, ”That pill is supposed to be mine! Why are you eager in hindering me, Larl? Do you know who you are offending? I am the young noble of Soaring Phoenix!”
”What of it if you are from the Soaring Phoenix?” Number 201 literally did not put him in his eyes, ”If you have the money, come with it and increase the bid. Using your sect as a backing? Such a thing that only a coward could do.” Said while sneering.
”Bastard!” Larl grounded his teeth in extreme infuriation. But what he could do? He could not increase the bid more than what he had. He also thought of forking out some valuable items, but since this grand auction would not accept any other than purple stones, he was feeling helpless.
”2,140,000 purple stones by number 201! Any higher bid? Going once, going twice. Congratulations number 201!” Manager Mao Ren said with a smile. To think that each pill worthed more than two million purple stones. This was the first time that they had auctioned something like this!
In previous grand auctions, the recorded highest final bid for an item was 1,270,000 purple stones. And this happened two years ago. They thought that this would be the highest bid that would not be broken for ages. Who would have thought that it was broken this time with a large gap? It almost doubled!

”Esteemed Client, here is the money. 3,861,000 purple stones! We already deducted the 10% fee for each pill that was auctioned. Thank you for choosing our auction house! We hope that you will be back here.” Manager Mao handed a purple card.
As Jin Rou received the purple card, he saw large numbers of 3,861,000 in the middle, with circulating circle, ”What is this?” He asked. But he did not know how to use this.
”Oh...” Manager Mao gave an amused look, ”This is a Purple Stone Card. This was being used if a money already exceeded a million. If you will buy anything, you just need to present this and they will deduct the corresponding amount.”
”I see...” Jin Rou understood. This was rather convenient. After all, he did not need to carry a large number of purple stones physically. Even though he had an infinite inventory which he could put all these, it was still a bit hassle.
”Here is my Calling Jade.” Manager Mao handed a small jade to Jin Rou, ”If ever you need help, you can break this jade, eventually it will connect a call to me. Don't worry, no matter how busy I am, I will answer.” He seldom gives Calling Jades to just anyone. After all, this was pretty expensive and should be only used in case of utter emergency. But to Jin Rou, who has the backing of a someone legendary, this was nothing. What comes first is forging a relationship with this young man who seems to be a bit ignorant of things.
Jin Rou the said, ”Thank you. We will now purchase some armaments. Would you mind recommending us some Sky Armaments and Quasi-Emperor Armaments? And tons of Randomic Armaments.”
”Oh, Esteemed Client here needs armaments, eh?” Manager Mao smiled, ”You sure can rely on me!”
