Shenwu Yutianlei

Chapter 283 The Auction Continues

There was still a hint of shy blush on Lin Ruyi's cheeks. In order to hide her embarrassment, she turned her lively eyes and changed the subject, "Maybe Liu Xuan will laugh at Brother Yun behind closed doors." She crossed her arms and frowned slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of worry, but more of it was disdain for Liu Xuan.

"Hahaha," Shen Yun was stunned when he heard Lin Ruyi's words, and then he laughed heartily, his laughter full of confidence and freedom. He put his hands in his trouser pockets, raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a wanton smile: "He would never have thought that the clown was actually himself." The sunlight shone on his face, outlining his outline more clearly, and the light of victory flashed in his bright eyes.

Lin Ruyi looked at Shen Yun's confident look, and her worries immediately dissipated. She also smiled softly. She walked forward, gently hit Shen Yun's shoulder, and said, "Brother Yun, don't be too proud. Be careful of Liu Xuan's tricks again." Her eyes were full of trust and support for Shen Yun.

Shen Yun patted Lin Ruyi's hand and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Don't worry, even if he has any tricks, I am not afraid. As the saying goes, if an enemy comes, we will stop him with our generals and if a flood comes, we will block it with earth."

The episode between Shen Yun and Liu Xuan did not affect the continuation of the auction.

At the auction table, Liu Chong had a professional smile on his face, which seemed to be precisely calculated. The small gavel in his hand gently tapped the table, and the crisp sound of "tap tap" continued to echo in the spacious auction hall, as if it was a unique movement for this grand event.

"Dear guests, let's get back to today's auction." Liu Chong's voice was loud and penetrating, and every word was clearly heard by everyone present. His words seemed to have an invisible magic that instantly drew everyone's attention back, as if the small conflict between Shen Yun and Liu Xuan had never happened, and the gears of time were back on track for the auction.

The guests in the audience quickly adjusted their attitudes. Those who were still talking a moment ago all shut up tacitly. They refocused their attention on the auction items that were about to appear on the display stand, their eyes flashing with anticipation and desire.

With the sound of light footsteps, several beautiful maids came slowly. They were graceful and light-footed. On the trays in their hands were auction items covered by red cloth, like rare treasures. The appearance of the maids added a touch of bright color to the auction. The eyes of the crowd gathered again. Some people's eyes stayed briefly on the beautiful faces of the maids, with a bit of appreciation and amusement; while more people's eyes were fixed on the auction items on the tray, with a gleam of determination in their eyes.

In short, the atmosphere on the scene became heated again, and the air seemed to become hot and restless. The bidders were rubbing their hands, some gently twisting their necks, and some crossing their hands and moving their knuckles, all preparing for the upcoming fierce competition.

Liu Chong cleared his throat, and his resonant voice sounded again. He began to introduce the origin and value of the next auction item in detail. Every detail was described vividly, as if he was telling a legendary story. Under his vivid introduction, the charm of the auction item was fully displayed. The auction was progressing in an orderly manner. The previous conflict between Shen Yun and Liu Xuan seemed to be just a small ripple in this grand event, and was quickly submerged in the wave of bidding fever.

During the subsequent auction, Shen Yun also bought a few small gadgets. They were not very cost-effective, but they were all useful.

For example, the third-level tranquility incense can help the monks calm down, isolate the intrusion of the inner demon, and better break the bottleneck. On the auction table, the brocade box containing the tranquility incense was carefully held up by the auctioneer. The moment the brocade box was opened, a wisp of faint fragrance slowly drifted away, like a wisp of agile green smoke, curling and escaping around. The fragrance seemed to have life, and instantly filled every corner of the auction hall.

With just a sniff, everyone present felt relaxed, as if all the pores in their bodies were relaxed, and their fatigue and irritability were swept away. Everyone's eyes were attracted by this mysterious and charming fragrance, and their eyes revealed desire and curiosity. This tranquilizing incense is only a finger long, but it contains extremely pure spiritual power and the effect of calming the mind.

"Starting price, 500 mid-grade spirit stones!" The auctioneer's voice sounded. Bidders bid one after another, and the price soared. Shen Yun's eyes were determined. He knew the importance of this item to his cultivation, and he joined the bidding without hesitation. After several rounds of fierce competition, Shen Yun finally won it at the price of 800 mid-grade spirit stones.

In addition to the tranquilizing incense, Shen Yun also bought a third-level rejuvenation pill. When the auctioneer showed the small jade bottle containing the rejuvenation pill, the pill was round and full, with a warm luster on the surface, like a bright pearl. Gently opening the jade bottle, a strong medicinal fragrance overflowed, filling the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.

The rejuvenation pill has a strong healing effect. Even if a cultivator is seriously injured or has lost a lot of vitality, as long as he takes this pill, he can recover most of his injuries in a short time. In a life-and-death battle or a dangerous expedition, such a pill may save one's life at a critical moment. The bidders are well aware of its value, and the competition is extremely fierce. Shen Yun is determined to win, and keeps raising the price. For this, he paid 900 medium-grade spirit stones.

There was also a third-level protective jade pendant, which was placed on a piece of red silk and presented to everyone. The jade pendant was emerald green, like a clear lake, with fine runes carved on it. The runes flashed with a faint spiritual light, mysterious and simple. Once injected with spiritual power, it could form a solid spiritual shield around the monk to resist the enemy's attack.

On the road of cultivation, which is full of dangers, having such a protective treasure will undoubtedly increase a lot of safety. Many cultivators were eyeing this jade pendant, and the bidding was heard one after another. Shen Yun was not to be outdone. After a fierce competition, in order to get this protective jade pendant, Shen Yun spent 750 medium-grade spirit stones.

As for Liu Xuan on the other side, he wanted to trip up Shen Yun, but with the previous experience of "Lotus Sword Technique", he was a little restrained. After all, his spirit stones were not blown by the wind.

In the end, the auction came to an end with Shen Yun feeling very satisfied.
