“So, young’un number seven, in your eyes, how much is this old man’s face worth?”

Elder Shui smiled coldly. Like electricity, his glare zapped straight towards the number seven’s veiled face.

“El… Elder, please do not be angry. I am a member of the Feng family. The Shui’s and the Feng’s should be close like family. I hope that Elder Shui can cease your anger on account of your relationship with my elders.”

At the late stage of the Qi Ocean stage, Elder Shui’s level of cultivation was incredibly strong. The feeling of oppression that came out of his glare had number seven tremble uncontrollably.

“Hmph, a spineless rat!”

Elder Shui turned his gaze to the rest of the room and sternly said, “1150 gold! Old Li, you can strike the pommel!”

“1150 gold going once, 1150 gold going twice…”

Just as the silver pommel in the silver-robed elder’s hand was about to drop, a voice rang out. “1200 gold!”

The voice was hoarse and a little weak. But when it spoke, the temperature in the room seemed to drop a few degrees.

Without any doubt, the one who voiced out was Xu Yi.

At that point, he had already thought things through clearly. His heart was determined to get what he wanted.

Money gone can be earned again. If he missed such a divine defensive item like the Dragon Alligator hide, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Furthermore, he knew that he was about to face an endless death match. The defensive abilities of the Dragon Alligator hide was what he desperately needed.

As for Elder Shui breaking the rules, he could scare others but definitely not Xu Yi. He already dared to gravely offend a saint like Zhou Daogan, who had supposedly already entered the Fluid Condensation stage, why would he be scared of a mere Elder Shui?

“You rat! How dare you!”

Elder Shui was furious. His eyes flashed as he stared at the close-by Xu Yi.

An overwhelming pressure was given off, causing those around Xu Yi to tremble uncontrollably. Xu Yi however, did not shake in the least.

With his strong soul power, this bit of pressure barely even caused him an itch. Speaking in his hoarse voice again, he calmly said, “Don’t go too far, you old thief! This here is Linglong Hall; we follow rules here to do business. It is no place for you to seize whatever you want!”

!!!

A huge tremor could be felt across the room as all eyes gathered towards Xu Yi.

The Shui family was a behemoth of a family that had held power within Guang’an for over hundreds of years. When the Shui family head celebrated his birthday, even the Guang’an Governor had to pay his respects.

Elder Shui himself was a powerhouse at the late stage of the Qi Ocean stage. To say that he could have his way in Guang’an was no exaggeration at all.

Today, he was called an “old thief” in front of a crowd of people. Just thinking about it felt unreal.

“How bold of you, you rat! I dare you to give me your name; I’ll make sure to show you!”

Elder Shui’s nose was almost contorted from his anger, and he was just that close to spewing out blood. After having his way in Guang’an for all these years, he had finally seen something today.

“Old Li, I have already raised the bid. Please continue to call. If no one else raises, this Dragon Alligator hide will be mine.”

Xu Yi simply ignored the maniacal Elder Shui, coldly giving the silver-robed elder a reminder. He purposely changed his voice to make it sound older. Hence, when he addressed the silver-robed elder, he spoke as an older person would.

Xu Yi knew clearly that no matter how wildly Elder Shui behaved, he still could not afford to incur the wrath of the entire crowd. Furthermore, Linglong Hall had been prosperous in Guang’an for many years and had completed many large transactions, and it was clearly not a company that could be run over by just a single practitioner at the Qi Ocean stage.

Indeed, the silver-robed elder spoke. “Elder Shui, this is an auction. If the two of you have any feud, please settle it privately. We will now continue with the auction procedures. Number twenty-three bids 1200 gold. 1200 gold going once, 1200 gold going twice…”
