#878 - Chapter 878 Temporary Auction
"Alright!" Little White echoed, "I'm waiting to eat something delicious."
"Hurry up and get to work!" Lin Yaoyao reprimanded.
Little White was so frightened that he scurried outside, not daring to say another word.
When the other disciples saw Little White running out, they all looked confused. "This... Did Senior Brother Little White just go in there?"
"Don't bother looking, this stall is ours now," Little White said, ignoring their puzzled gazes.
Only when they saw Lin Yaoyao carrying out a small mountain of items did the other disciples dare not ask any more questions. It seemed that Senior Sister Yaoyao had done it on purpose.
They all knew Lin Yaoyao's temper; how could such an overbearing person tolerate others' insults?
No way, not even a disapproving look was allowed.
Soon, they inventoried the things left behind by the fake monk. Apart from the jade statue, which was valuable, the other items were mostly half-fake.
For example, the spiritual herbs being sold had already undergone a first extraction and were then dried and sold as new.
If it weren't for Little Qing's sensitive nose, which detected the excessive moisture and strange smell in the spiritual herbs, they would have been fooled by the appearance.
"Senior Sister Little Qing, can you smell this?" Wang Xuan asked, handing a purple pill to Little Qing.
Little Qing took it and examined it carefully. "This looks like the legendary high-grade spiritual medicine - Purple Spirit Pill. Legend says it has an excellent detoxifying effect, basically able to cure all poisons."
Little Qing was somewhat reluctant, wishing so much that this pill was real. She held the pill in her hand, stroking it repeatedly.
"Hurry up and smell it," Wang Xuan urged.
Little Qing put the Purple Spirit Pill under her nose, carefully sensing its scent, which was faint and elusive, seeming real and fake at the same time.
"This... the scent is faint, as if it's mixed with something else," Little Qing said with some regret.
"They ruined all the good stuff," Little White said, unable to help but curse.
"Luckily we took care of him, otherwise he would have caused endless harm."
"These useless things, just throw them away," Lin Yaoyao said impatiently.
"Hey, I've got it!" Little White suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "This fake monk has impure intentions, using half-real, half-fake spiritual medicines to deceive people."
"That way, the people who buy them won't be able to say they're useless, nor can they say they're useful, so they can only suffer in silence."
"Why don't we keep them? In case we encounter any bad guys, these pills and spiritual herbs will come in handy."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yaoyao inwardly exclaimed, 'Wonderful!' 'You truly are my good junior brother.'
"But... you should keep all these things," Lin Yaoyao said.
That way, if something happens in the future and Master catches us, it won't be my problem.
"I..." Little White was helpless. He thought he had come up with a good suggestion, and everyone would enthusiastically support it.
He didn't expect that in the end, he would still have to bear all the responsibility.
After cleaning up the stall, they put out the spoils they had collected from the small market earlier.
The spiritual herbs and pills were mostly mid-grade and low-grade; the high-grade ones were kept for themselves.
In order to sell these resources as soon as possible and go eat something delicious, Lin Yaoyao used spiritual power to create a shape in the air in front of the stall, displaying eight golden characters: "Immortal-Grade Self-Use, Extremely Affordable."
The golden characters remained clearly suspended in the air, occasionally emitting star-like sparkling light.
People passing by were all amazed. "This... Whose divine work is this?"
They rushed over, thinking that Lin Yaoyao, Little White, and the others had done it, but after sensing it, they found that they were all cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage.
Although after entering the Venerable Realm, one could use spiritual power to create shapes and condense them into whatever shape one wanted.
However, maintaining it continuously required a great deal of spiritual power, which ordinary cultivators could not achieve, unless they were experts in the Great Emperor Realm.
"Could it be... that a Great Emperor Realm expert has come here today?" Everyone exclaimed.
"You mere Nascent Souls, how could you have such powerful inner strength?"
Faced with the various crowds that had gathered to watch the excitement, Lin Yaoyao smiled without saying a word, only guiding their attention to the natural treasures and cultivation manuals on the stall.
Seeing Lin Yaoyao acting like this, Little White silently handed out the pills he had just taken from the fake monk, the half-real, half-fake kind.
Lin Yaoyao looked at these extra pills, her gaze gradually shifting from the pills to Little White.
"How much money? I want it!"
"I want it!"
"Don't fight with me, I saw it first!"
In the crowd, people kept raising their hands and speaking loudly, all wanting this Purple Spirit Pill.
Lin Yaoyao slowly picked up the Purple Spirit Pill and held it high in her hand. "Come, let's auction! The starting bid is fifty spirit stones, with each bid increasing by five spirit stones."
As soon as Lin Yaoyao's voice fell, the surrounding crowd began to shout prices.
"Five hundred thousand spirit stones!"
"Sixty spirit stones!"
"Eighty spirit stones!"
......
"One hundred and fifty spirit stones!" A loud voice rang out from the crowd, covering all the other bids.
Clearly, spiritual power was added to this voice. Not only was this person's cultivation not low, but they also had a lot of wealth.
Everyone looked towards the voice, and it was a burly man with a black-spotted fierce tiger skin draped over his shoulders, his face covered with a thick beard, obscuring half of his face.
"This brother bid one hundred and fifty spirit stones. Everyone, is there anyone who wants to add more?" Little White simply found a stool to stand on, excitedly watching the surrounding crowd.
"One hundred and fifty spirit stones once."
"One hundred and fifty spirit stones twice."
"One..."
......
"Two hundred spirit stones!" A sharp voice came from the crowd again.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young woman with a white veil covering her face, but one could still sense that her skin was as white as snow and her figure was graceful.
When Little White heard someone bid two hundred spirit stones, he clapped his hands happily. He didn't expect this fake monk to know the way to earn spirit stones.
Earned, earned!
"Two hundred spirit stones once!"
"Two hundred spirit stones twice!"
......
The surrounding crowd started to boil over. "How can you sell things like this? You're starting an auction on the spot?"
"That's right, that's right, you little kid, you're not learning anything good!"
Among the crowd, older men and women began to point fingers at Little White.
Faced with everyone's criticism, Little White's face turned red and white at first, not knowing what to do.
But after only a moment, he immediately emboldened himself. "Good things are for the highest bidder. If you're not happy, deal with it!"
After saying that, he turned his head to the side and ignored the onlookers.
"You..."
The crowd shook their heads helplessly and could only watch the veiled woman take away the Purple Spirit Pill.
"Don't be discouraged, there are other things, you can definitely afford these!"
After Little White collected the spirit stones, he pointed to the other spiritual herbs and pills on the stall and said to the surrounding crowd.
"I'll give you a discount!" Little White said with a naive smile.
