134 Chapter 134: Body Refining White Flower 2 (1/2)
”Asiel...” Daniela, Brock and Isaac coldly stared at Asiel who just reprimanded them in a condescending manner.
”Do not be so arrogant, snot-nosed brat!” Daniela harrumphed.
”What a petty girl.” Asiel arrogantly commented.
”You! Take back what you just said!” Daniela became furious when she heard Asiel's words.
”Tch, you think you are so haughty, huh? Why don't we fight here?” Brock impulsively challenged Asiel to a fight.
”How shameless. I am only at the 13th level Awakened Spirit while you are already a 22nd level Origin Transmutation. Not to mention that I am only thriteen while you are already seventeen. Are all members of the Stone Edge Manor this shameless and stupid?” Asiel remained calm and only spared a side-glance to Brock.
”Watch, what you are saying you, arrogant brat!” A guard from the Stone Edge Manor could not handle Asiel's arrogance and stood up.
”Do not intervene with the matter of the junior or else, you might not be able to take the consequences.” An old alchemist sitting beside Asiel threatened.
”Ugh..” The guard groaned in response but he went back to his seat. The olan man was right he could not allow his emtions to get on the way becaide if he did, he would be dragging the sect along with him. The sect might even disown or exile him if chose to do so.
”...” On the other hand, Isaac remained silent as he watched the entire scene play out.
”What about you?” Asiel turned his attention to the silent Isaac.
”Don't even think about taunting me. I am unlike those two idiots. It will not work on me.” Isaac replied coldly.
”500 spirit stones going twice! Still no follow up bid?” Suddenly, a voice disrupted their argument. Dylan's voice awoke the attention of the people within the fourth floor.
”Damn it! 510 spirit stones!” Brock was the one with the quickest reaction and was able to quickly raise his bidding panel.
Cold sweat trickled down their spines. They somehow temporarily forgot about the auction because of Asiel's interjection. They almost lost the chance to be able to compete for the Body Refining White Flower.
'Shit, that brat almost had us fooled! He was insulting us so that our attention would turn to him! If they were successful, then the herb would have been theirs! Fortunately, I was able to hear that Dylan Ford's voice!' Brock cursed in his mind.
”I thought there would no longer be anyone bidding anymore since you appeared to have a quarrel up there.”Dylan lightly laughed. But in reality, if it were not for Dylan increasing the volume of his voice, the others would not have noticed.
Inwardly, Dylan praised Asiel, 'What a cunning little brat. Too bad you're a hundred year too early to compete with me.'
”520 spirit stones!” Daniel Hills shouted a bid after recovering to her senses. She threw a glance folled with hatred, 'You think you're so smart! I will make you pay soon enough, Asiel Gamott!'
'Tricking me like this? I, Isaac Fleetwood, will make you pay for this humiliation!' Isaac gritted his teeth before roaring a price, ”550 spirit stones!!”
”It seems like the plan failed. Whatever, I will just have to crush them with the wealth I have!” Asiel softly sighed. He unhurriedly rose his bidding panel and stated, ”600!”
...
The crowd was mortified as they were witnessing how frugal this young masters and mistresses could be with their money. They could even barely bring out 100 spirit stones yet this young adolescents could easily mention a price that would be equivalent or even greater than their entire fortune!
”Si-six hundred s-spirit stones?! I could buy a clan residence with that much money! Yet they are easily thrown by this youths...” A man from a middle rank power felt extremely weak in front of the wealth of Asiel and the others.
”The current price has already surpassed the price of even a hundred year old Body Refining White Flower, which is 550 spirit stones!” A female appraiser had a pale expression as he mentioned those words.
”However, I do think it is reasonable for the herb to reach such a price because Body Refining White Flowers only grow near places with exceedingly dense and conventrated spirit energy like Earth Veins! But what is really shocking me is the amount of wealth these three possess?” A knowledgeable old man shared the information he knew about the herb.
”But why are they fervently competing to buy one herb? If they used that money to buy the mansion, like that guy said, they would have a comfortable place to stay and lodge.” An ignorant commoner idiotically questioned.
”Because for true cultivators, raising their cultivation is much more valuable than any money in the world. Getting a herb that would ensure a completely safe breakthrough is something that cultivators would kill for.” A wise old man imparted an important lesson to the child.
...
”601 spirit stones.” A grey cloaked person in the third floor raised the bid by just 1 spirit stone which slightly shocked the crowd.
”625 spirit stones! I won't lose to any of you!” Daniela gave a bid once more.
”626 spirit stones.” The grey cloaked person continued to bid.
” Who is this guy?” Daniela di not expect that there would still be another person who would bid for the flower when it already neared the conclusion.
”660 spirit stones! It's mine!” Brock also placed another bid by raising it 34 spirit stones.
”661 spirit stones.” The grey cloaked person repeated by raising it with only a spirit stone.
”Hmph, how about 697 spirt stones, then?!” Brock raised the bid again.
”698.” The grey cloaked person was still unfazed and continued to bid.
”Fine, I'll go all-in! 716 spirit stones!” Brock ferociosly shouted and put everything on the run.
When he saw that the grey cloaked was not bidding any more, Brock laughed coldly, ” Hmph, a nobody trying to compete with me? That's courting death. Finally, the herb is mine! Hahaha!”
”Sorry to burst you bubble but I will go all in as well! 747 spirit stones!” Daniela also went all in.
