Chapter 98: Scamming Feng Jiu Ge
Neither Chu Du nor Fang Yuan bid anymore.
This seller of the cauldron strength Immortal Gu also found something amiss, he was anxious and quickly added.
Qin Bai Sheng received his transmission and announced again: "The wisdom path inheritance does not need to be complete, an incomplete wisdom path inheritance is fine too. Of course, the more complete it is, the better it would be."
Fang Yuan bid came from within the tenth secret room: "I have an incomplete wisdom path inheritance."
Chu Du heard Fang Yuan's bid and his heart jumped, he did not even have an incomplete inheritance. But he still had hope in his heart, he placed his hopes on Swordmaster You Lan. In his perspective, Swordmaster You Lan was backed by Prince Feng Xian, they had incredible foundation and would likely have a wisdom path incomplete inheritance.
Feng Jiu Ge laughed bitterly.
He quickly used the hole earth Gu in his immortal aperture and communicated to the other nine Central Continent Gu Immortals.
After receiving Feng Jiu Ge's message, two of them had an incomplete inheritance. One was from Old Oracle, he came from Ancient Soul Sect and was a wisdom path Gu Immortal. The other was Chen Zhen Chi from Myriad Dragon Dock, he was a flying grandmaster and had once explored an inheritance ground, obtaining one by chance.
Feng Jiu Ge received their message and was overjoyed, quickly interacting with them.
In a moment, Feng Jiu Ge finished discussing with Chen Zhen Chi and paid some price to buy the incomplete wisdom path inheritance from him.
But after getting it, Feng Jiu Ge became hesitant.
He could naturally provide the incomplete wisdom path inheritance to Chu Du. But doing it in this way was too obvious.
He had lied to Chu Du earlier, saying that he wanted Chu Du's immortal materials, the true heaven silver. But now, just for the true heaven silver, he was providing him the valuable incomplete wisdom path inheritance, this was like giving up gold for silver, it did not make sense.
Just as Feng Jiu Ge was about to risk Chu Du's suspicions and take out the incomplete wisdom path inheritance, Chu Du spoke: "I do not have an inheritance, I'll back out from this bid."
Feng Jiu Ge was stunned.
The truth was, after waiting for a while, the tiny hope in Chu Du's heart vanished.
Feng Jiu Ge's expression sunk, when Chu Du announced that he was backing out, he understood the reason behind it.
At once, Fang Yuan's victory was imminent, Feng Jiu Ge did not know what to say.
"But, even if delight in water and mountain Immortal Gu is handed over, there is still hope. After the open auction, there is still the free transaction period." Feng Jiu Ge consoled himself, his mental state quickly returned to normal. He had braved through many storms and difficulties in life that had improved him, they were on par with Fang Yuan's.
But just as Qin Bai Sheng was about to announce the bid going to Fang Yuan, a third competitor appeared.
"Eleventh secret room is bidding as well, they are taking out a wisdom path Immortal Gu, an incomplete wisdom path inheritance, as well as immortal materials that are on par with those of tenth secret room!" Qin Bai Sheng suddenly announced.
This was an unexpected situation, the Gu Immortals in the main hall were very interested.
"Another mysterious Gu Immortal has entered the bidding competition."
Qin Bai Sheng felt more confusion than the others, he knew that Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Fang Yuan arrived together, they should be allies. Why were they competing with each other now?
Not only him, even the bidder, Tai Bai Yun Sheng, was confused.
He had just received Fang Yuan's transmission earlier, asking him to do this bid.
Fang Yuan sat in the tenth secret room, his finger was tapping on the armrest of his seat. His eyes were closed until only a slit remained, he continued bidding and competing with Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
After several rounds, Tai Bai Yun Sheng pieced random materials together, showing his limited finances.
Next, he purposely hesitated before bidding, displaying a changing mind.
After several more rounds of bidding, Tai Bai Yun Sheng obtained a notification from Qin Bai Sheng, after approving of it, he received a letter from another person.
This letter's content was similar to the one written to Domination Immortal. Using one of the immortal materials that Tai Bai Yun Sheng had as an excuse, he saw that Tai Bai Yun Sheng could not afford to continue bidding and was willing to fund him in exchange for the immortal material.
"Junior brother, just as you had expected, someone is willing to fund me." Tai Bai Yun Sheng reported this to Fang Yuan in secret.
"Oh?" Fang Yuan opened his eyes, straightening his back subconsciously: "Who?"
"Swordmaster You Lan."
Fang Yuan sat down and continued to think while bidding against Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
Just as Fang Yuan was waiting, a voice came from a single room.
"A wisdom path Immortal Gu, kindness thought Gu, an incomplete wisdom path inheritance, and twice the immortal materials for this cauldron strength Immortal Gu."
The Gu Immortal who had entered the bidding competition was not a normal person, it was one of the five rank eight experts in Northern Plains, refinement path Gu Immortal Yao Huang!
The Gu Immortals did not expect that this cauldron strength Immortal Gu's auction would end up with Yao Huang as the winner.
Fang Yuan backed out when he understood the tough situation, Feng Jiu Ge sighed in relief secretly.
Cauldron strength Immortal Gu's auction ended, everyone's attention was drawn to the next Immortal Gu.
As time continued to pass, more and more Immortal Gu were showcased and bought. The anticipation of the Gu Immortals also accumulated gradually.
"The following Immortal Gu is called delight in water and mountain Immortal Gu, it is of wisdom path and rank six. The seller is requesting for a rank six strength path Immortal Gu, it would be best if it is a defensive Immortal Gu." Qin Bai Sheng announced.
Once Qin Bai Sheng spoke, several Gu Immortals started bidding.
Fang Yuan carefully listened to the bids as he remained unmoved, he was waiting for Feng Jiu Ge to bid.
Before long, 'Swordmaster You Lan' indeed entered the bid: "I have an eat strength Immortal Gu with me.
This Gu is not only of strength path, but also of food path, it is a strength path cultivation type Immortal Gu, one may consume beast meat or vegetation related to strength path, in order to allow strength path dao marks to grow naturally on the Gu Immortal's body, they would fully fit with one's own body."
"With this strength path Immortal Gu, I am not afraid that the other party will remain unmoved." Feng Jiu Ge sat down calmly, feeling very confident in his heart.
"If I did not find out the flaw, I might have traded for this Gu already. What a pity for you…" Fang Yuan was laughing coldly to himself internally.
At this point a voice came and bid
Hearing this voice, Fang Yuan's smile became wider.
Earlier, he had used rising azure cloud Immortal Gu to exchange for an iron crown eagle strength Immortal Gu. But during that process, he did not expose his identity. He had confirmed the buyer through informing Qin Bai Sheng.
Thus, other than Qin Bai Sheng himself, none of the other Gu Immortals present knew who the iron crown eagle strength Immortal Gu ended up with.
Thus, Fang Yuan could use it to bid freely.
As for the person inside the twenty-third secret room, it was none other than Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
He had already asked Qin Bai Sheng and secretly changed Tai Bai Yun Sheng's room to another secret room.
Even though Tai Bai Yun Sheng did not expose his or Fang Yuan's identity when he was in the eleventh secret room, it was undoubtedly much safer for him to change his room now.
After Tai Bai Yun Sheng made the bid, Fang Yuan did not make any response for a long time.
As time passed slowly, Feng Jiu Ge started to inwardly frown. Domination Immortal Chu Du had also started bidding. He offered another beast strength Immortal Gu, while also adding some immortal material in the bid.
Chu Du did not want delight in water and mountain Immortal Gu, but he had a use for it. He was a strength path Gu Immortal, the reason why he was giving up a strength path Immortal Gu was because he wanted the eat strength Immortal Gu.
Fang Yuan chuckled lightly, he immediately understood Chu Du's intentions.
Under his request, Tai Bai Yun Sheng continued to raise his bid again.
Feng Jiu Ge frowned even more deeply, he had no choice but to start raising his bid as well.
The moment he spoke, Tai Bai Yun Sheng would follow up and make a bid, his attitude was imposing, as if he definitely had to obtain this Immortal Gu no matter what.
Feng Jiu Ge could not help but become suspicious: Was this eat strength Gu too unattractive to the person inside the tenth secret room? Or was he just trying to be greedy and was waiting for the bid to rise?
Swordmaster You Lan stopped bidding, it was as if she did not want to lose eat strength Immortal Gu, thus she had backed out of the competition.
Meanwhile, Fang Yuan instructed Tai Bai Yun Sheng to continue raising his bid.
As the price increased steadily, it became very expensive, most of the Gu Immortals started backing out of this, they were stating that this price was too high.
Eventually, only Chu Du and Tai Bai Yun Sheng were left bidding.
Chu Du was currently having a tough time. His real motive was to obtain eat strength Immortal Gu, but Feng Jiu Ge refused to sell it to him, it seemed like he still wanted to bid for the delight in water and mountain Immortal Gu.
Chu Du did not dare to be complacent, he quickly followed along with the bidding. On the one hand, he wanted to prevent the eat strength Immortal Gu from falling into someone else's possession, and on the other hand, if he obtained delight in water and mountain Immortal Gu, he would have a huge chance of using it to trade Gu with Swordmaster You Lan.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng's intentions were very simple and pure. He just did whatever his junior brother asked him to do. Even if he won the delight in water and mountain Immortal Gu, that was fine! After all, whatever price he paid would still return to his own pockets.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng got instructions from Fang Yuan and continued to raise his bid.
Chu Du gritted his teeth and hung on.
After severals rounds like this, delight in water and mountain Immortal Gu's price continued to rise under the eyes of all the Gu Immortals present.
Qin Bai Sheng had been observing quietly, by this point, he could not help but praise inwardly: "This Sha Huang is really a brilliant person despite being an immortal zombie, he is not simple! But Chu Du's financial limits are already clear now, he is hesitating when bidding. If it were me, I would take the opportunity and sell it now."
At this point, only Tai Bai Yun Sheng was left.
But even so, Tai Bai Yun Sheng continued to report a bid, raising the price by another margin.
Fang Yuan laughed coldly, transmitting his decision to Qin Bai Sheng.
Qin Bai Sheng heard this news and was first stunned, why was he selling it to his ally? But he quickly understood that perhaps Sha Huang and Bai Sheng were not as intimate as they appeared to be.
Qin Bai Sheng shook his head mentally, he was on the stage and had no time to waste, he announced: "Twenty-third secret room, going once."
After pausing for a short while, he continued: "Twenty-third secret room, going twice."
"Twenty-third secret room, going thri…" Qin Bai Sheng shouted until here, before someone interrupted him.
Feng Jiu Ge spoke: "Eat strength Immortal Gu, and on top of what the twenty-third secret room is bidding, I will add in another four hundred kilograms of red refinement metal!"
Qin Bai Sheng was also stunned for a while.
Chu Du's expression turned pale, but he soon sighed to himself gloomily.
Fang Yuan laughed heartily: "Great, Feng Jiu Ge, you were truly very patient!"
From the twenty-third secret room, Tai Bai Yun Sheng's voice could be heard, he sounded like he was extremely annoyed at his plan being thwarted, he continued to bid in an angry tone.
Feng Jiu Ge laughed bitterly to himself, after observing for so long, he had already believed that the person inside the twenty-third secret room was serious about bidding.
"My luck this time was truly horrible. The two Immortal Gu that I wanted to buy were both met with tough competitors. The most important thing was, these two competitors were very affluent and wealthy."
He and Tai Bai Yun Sheng bid back and forth, both refusing to relent.
"Don't tell me I have to do a two for one exchange again?" Feng Jiu Ge's expression was cold and solemn.
Feng Jiu Ge's forehead was sweating, his arms were tightly grabbing the handle of his seat as his gaze shined anxiously, he hesitated for a moment before shouting as well: "I have a killer move, it is an incomplete immortal move, originating from Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable, called vaguely familiar face!"
Fang Yuan confirmed it on the spot, selling delight in water and mountain Immortal Gu to Feng Jiu Ge!
