Ning Qi gifted Li Xiangrou a Treasure Armor before turning his attention to an auction for an Immortal Sword. The sword was incredibly powerful, capable of severing the arms of assistants merely by its aura. Ning Qi decided to bid on the sword as a gift for Miss Xu’s master, sparking a bidding war with a mysterious young woman.

"Oh my god, it has to be this young man!"

"It’s already increased six times!"

"Wow, today we’ve really seen something!"

"In front of someone with real power, these resources are just numbers."

"..."

After his price was quoted, the crowd below grew even more lively with chatter.

Everyone was curious about Ning Qi.

"Ladies and gentlemen, to prevent you from bluffing and inflating the price..."

"If you continue to bid higher, regardless of whether you win the bid or not, 20% of your Spiritual Marrow will be deducted."

At this moment, the auctioneer said, "Now, our people will come up to verify your resources."

"If anyone’s resources don’t match their bid, we will immediately expel you!"

"Additionally, we will subtract 50% of the Spiritual Marrow from the previous bidder!"

The auction house didn’t dare to accept such a high price recklessly.

Anyone offering such a high price must be someone with power and background.

If they returned and their families found out they spent such a high amount here,

they would definitely come for them later.

This kind of rivalry has happened before.

Therefore, after Ning Qi arrived, the auctioneer made this decision.

"That’s more like it."

"I feel like they’re just shouting randomly too!"

"Let’s see who’s the fake one then!"

"..."

The audience began to discuss.

On Ning Qi’s side, an attendant had already approached.

Upon seeing Ning Qi, he respectfully stepped forward.

"Young master, sorry to bother you, I need to verify your resources!"

The attendant politely said once more after stepping forward.

"Here!"

Ning Qi didn’t mind and just handed over his Storage Bag.

The attendant received it with both hands and began to examine it seriously.

What he found was shocking; it wasn’t insufficient, but rather too much.

He couldn’t believe how much there was.

"How is it?"

Ning Qi smiled and looked at the attendant in front of him, asking.

"Young master, pardon me, your Spiritual Marrow is too abundant!"

"It’s more than enough!"

The attendant hurriedly returned it to Ning Qi with both hands, then said, "I’ll take my leave!"

"Ning Qi, where did you get so much Spiritual Marrow?"

"I heard it’s extremely rare in this world!"

Li Xiangrou also asked curiously.

"That’s a secret!"

Ning Qi intentionally teased.

By this time, several attendants had already gone downstairs.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this Immortal Sword goes to this young master for twenty million!"

The auctioneer pointed in Ning Qi’s direction at this moment.

"Haha, I knew that girl didn’t have that much Spiritual Marrow!"

"Indeed, no resources and still pretending."

"Well, she got exposed now!"

"..."

The people below began to mock.

Evidently, this woman only had two million Spiritual Marrow.

After the verification, she was disqualified by the auctioneer.

Due to her Spiritual Marrow limits, the Immortal Sword went to Ning Qi.

This way, Ning Qi’s expenses weren’t high, and it gave him plenty of face.

After his announcement, in another private compartment.

Several people didn’t look happy.

"Qian Qian, I... I’ll go teach that bastard a lesson!"

A young man said indignantly.

"No need for you to meddle!"

The girl called Qian Qian sneered slightly, "This kid, I must personally teach him a lesson!"

"Miss, but this place has restrictions, and we don’t know who he is!"

A maid quickly reminded, "Besides, there are rules here, we can’t possibly know his identity."

"That’s impossible for you; for me, it’s possible!"

Qian Qian smiled and then said, "Xu Feng! Let’s go."

"Alright, what do you propose?"

The young man, Xu Feng, smiled broadly as Qian Qian prepared to take action.

And he was called upon, immediately feeling elated.

"Find an attendant, feed them Heart Devourer Gu, and have them lead us there."

Qian Qian smiled, "We can also disguise ourselves as attendants, and it’s done!"

"Right, great idea!"

"I’ll handle it right away!"

Xu Feng clapped his hands and excitedly got up to leave.

Qian Qian followed along.

The two went to a less crowded area and specifically found an attendant.

After knocking the attendant unconscious, they fed Heart Devourer Gu to the attendant.

While they were plotting against Ning Qi, Ning Qi was still admiring the Immortal Sword with Medicine Spirit.

At this moment, the Immortal Sword had been delivered to them.

"Master, this Immortal Sword is impressive; its Sword Qi alone can instill fear!"

Medicine Spirit praised the Immortal Sword endlessly.

"Indeed, it’s a good sword!"

"If I didn’t have the Immortal Slayer Sword, I’d be reluctant to give it away!"

Ning Qi said with a smile, holding the Immortal Sword.

"This sword indeed is impressive; I can even feel its Sword Qi!"

Li Xiangrou observed the sword, a look of admiration in her eyes.

"Young master!"

At this moment, an attendant knocked on the door.

"What is it?"

Hearing the sound, Ning Qi looked towards the door.

"We’ve brought you some pastries!"

The attendant carried the pastries, with two people behind him.

Both were the disguised Qian Qian and Xu Feng.

In their attendant outfits, you couldn’t tell they were anything special.

They looked no different from ordinary people.

"Oh? That’s considerate."

"Put them down!"

Ning Qi, hearing this, didn’t suspect anything and let them put it down.

"Okay!"

The attendant replied and brought the two in.

Then put down the pastries.

During this time, Qian Qian and Xu Feng keenly noted the two individuals.

Then hastily exited together.

Ning Qi didn’t notice he had been targeted.

"How’s the taste?"

He took a piece of pastry and tasted it.

"Pretty good!"

Li Xiangrou also took a piece, tasted it, and praised it.

"Master, very nice!"

Medicine Spirit also tasted a piece, giving a thumbs-up.

"Grab a bite more, we’re leaving soon!"

Ning Qi indulged, "Our objective is met; staying longer is pointless."

"Mm!"

Medicine Spirit nodded and ate along.

Li Xiangrou didn’t hold back and joined in, savoring every bite.

The three ate enthusiastically like this.

They quickly finished everything.

"Alright, let’s go!"

Ning Qi clapped his hands and looked below.

By now, the auctioneer was auctioning another treasure.

But Ning Qi wasn’t interested.

His objective was achieved.

"Okay!"

Li Xiangrou agreed and got up with him.

Medicine Spirit resumed its place on his shoulder.

Together, they went downstairs, soon reaching the auction hall’s entrance.

By now, the sky was completely dark.

Yet, the streets grew even busier.

"Let’s go, it’s late; we’re heading back!"

Ning Qi glanced around with a smile.

"Alright!"

Li Xiangrou showed no intention to stay longer.

She agreed and set off with him.

Heading towards their inn.

Due to the crowd, they didn’t notice they were being followed.

They were tailed all the way back to the inn.

"Did you see clearly?"

Qian Qian peeked inside and asked seriously.

"Clearly, this is the inn, no mistake!"

Xu Feng nodded with a serious face, "Let’s ask the attendant about their room."

"Okay, let’s go!"

Qian Qian agreed, heading towards the inn with him.

Xu Feng took the lead, quickly arriving at the inn’s door.

"Ladies and gentlemen, looking for a room?"

They were greeted by a smiling attendant as they approached the door.

"Yes."

Qian Qian acknowledged, giving Xu Feng a look.

"Also, we have something to inquire about."

Xu Feng got the hint and stepped forward.
