Translator: Sissy That Walk

  Everyone in the hall looked up at the second floor. They were all astonished by the 70,000 bid.

  The box was totally private and isolated. The wall of the box could block spiritual sense. Therefore, except the elders of Tribulation Passage, no one could know who was in the box.

  “Only the rich and powerful cultivators had the access to the box, so why did he buy a mere 1,000 cubic-meter interspatial ring?”


  “Of course, he has a more ambitious plan. He wants to collect the whole set for sure!”


  “That’s too hard. If he is that rich, he can just make a set himself.”


  People chirped in the hall, but most of them just waited to see what would happen next. For them, 70,000 had reached the roof. There was no more chance for a higher bid. However, just as the auctioneer shouted “70,000, second, last chance”, Li Xiuchen gritted his teeth and raised his bidding paddle, “71,000!”


  All the people were baffled. They looked at Li Xiuchen with confusion.

  Then, the voice came from the box again, “80,000.”


  Li Xiuchen gritted his teeth harder, “81,000!”


  “90,000.” The voice from the box was still calm and poised.

  Hearing this bid, everyone was taken aback, and the auctioneer’s hands were shaking. He shouted hurriedly, “90,000! 90,000! Any other bid? Anyone!”


  The market price for the interspatial ring with such quality was just around 35,000, utmost 40,000. Without the “whole set story”, it wouldn’t have had the chance to be presented at this auction. No matter what, no one had expected that its price tripled!”


  Started from 30,000, its price now reached 90,000. These two men just spent money like water.

  Li Xiuchen clutched the paddle, unable to say anything. The auctioneer gave him a disappointed look and began to count down. When he counted to “twice”, Li Xiuchen struggled to shout, “91,000!”


  It seemed he was exhausted to offer this bid, but right after that, the man in the box smiled and said calmly, “100,000.”


  These three words completely beat Li Xiuchen.

  100,000, a price could not be higher. Besides, Li Xiuchen still needed money to buy other things, so after a slight struggle, he gave up. Ultimately, that man in the box won the ring.

  For such a little thing, the bidder could get it right after this round of auction.

  When the server of Liu Yun Chamber of Commerce sent the ring to the box, Luo Jianqing took out 100,000 cashes from his own interspatial ring and gave the server. After he got the interspatial ring, he just appreciated it for a while and then put it in his own interspatial ring, even not wearing it.

  Seeing that, Fo Zi put his palms together and smiled, “Amitabha. Cultivator Luo, I’m very curious. You were confident to win this ring and paid a lot for it, but now, you just put it in your own ring and don’t wear it, why?”


  Hearing his words, Luo Jianqing poured a cup of tea for him and said, “You’re right. I want this ring so I get it. But my own ring is the gold core gift bestowed by my master Sir Yu Qingzi during my Core Formation, with 5,000 cubic meter capacity, so I’ve never intended to replace it.”


  Fo Zi looked at Luo Jianqing with clear eyes. He just smiled, not continuing this topic.

  Soon, people’s enthusiasm about the “100,000 interspatial ring” has faded. The auction started again.

  Luo Jianqing only bought another piece of treasure, a fine thousands-year-old ice essence. Last time, when Luo Jianqing gave his sixth fellow brother a Zhongqi stone, he was very happy. He told Luo Jianqing that he was making an instrument, yet lacked several materials, including ice essence.

  Luo Jianqing paid even more for the ice essence, so other people were more curious about who was sitting inside that box.

  Fo Zi smiled, “I didn’t expect that you would be so liberal with money.”


  Luo Jianqing was a little bit embarrassed, “This is a gift for my sixth fellow brother. He is an instrument maker, obsessed with Qi condensation. In order to make more powerful instruments, his cultivation was hindered.”


  Fo Zi nodded with respect, “Xiu Hen, the sixth of Tai Hua’s seven cultivators. I know him.” Luo Jianqing nodded with a smile, and Fo Zi continued, “It is a bless for him to have such a brilliant fellow brother like you.”


  Hearing that, Luo Jianqing was a little baffled. He murmured subconsciously, “Is it? I doubt it……”


  These abrupt words might confuse others, but for Fo Zi, it was just an ordinary sentence. Fo Zi was counting the white beads in his hand, while a smile was worn on his face full of sympathy, “It takes three previous incarnations to become fellow brothers; five previous incarnations to become best friends. It is all about karma. You have been caring him so much, so of course, you are a bless for him.”


  Luo Jianqing suddenly feel enlightened and relieved. He bowed to Fo Zi and expressed his respect, “Thanks for your guidance.”


  Fo Zi smiled slightly.

  They chatted a while in the box, then a Buddhist Pearl was presented on the stage-this was exactly what Fo Zi wanted. The pearl was round and crystal-clear. Even if the box was protected by enchantment, Luo Jianqing could clearly feel the supreme and profound Buddhist aura given out from that Pearl.

  This time, the price started from 100,000; each bid should be at least 10,000 higher.

  Just as the auctioneer finished, Fo Zo offered his bid in a low voice, “200,000.”


  The whole hall fell into an uproar. Even the experienced auctioneer was shocked.

  Luo Jianqing was about to drink the tea. He hadn’t drunk yet, otherwise he must have spitted it out.

  He looked at Fo Zi with surprise and asked in a low voice: “Fo Zi, what are you doing……”


  Fo Zi had always been calm and graceful, but now he smiled awkwardly, “I am not good at these worldly stuffs.”


  Luo Jianqing: “.……” This was not the excuse for him to bid casually!!!

  The audience might have been frightened by Fo Zi’s bid, none of whom offered new bid currently. After all, this pearl was essential for Buddha Cultivation, while for other cultivators, it was just an ornament to exorcise evil spirits and calm themselves down.

  Liu Yun Chamber of Commerce’s expected price on this pearl was 250,000, but everyone now was taken aback by Fo Zi’s bid, so the auctioneer continued to hype, “It’s said that this pearl originally belonged to a Buddhist master who died in a sitting posture and then became the Buddha. I think everyone knows this master’s name. He was one of the four grand masters of Buddhist Chan Sect, Grand Master Dao Xin.

  Hearing that, someone couldn’t help bidding, “210,000.”


  “Three hundred thou……” Fo Zi was about to immediately bid 300,000.

  But Luo Jianqing interrupted him, “250,000!”
