Chapter 280 Praise and Killing
“Fairy Wu, we absolutely did not mean that.”
However, these are high-grade level four runes after all, and we'd like to buy some as well. We hope you won't take them all; please share some with us!
The man quickly explained.
“This senior brother is right, we would like some of these runes as well. Don’t worry, Fairy Wu, we won’t ask for as many as you do!”
"Good things should be shared by everyone, I support this senior's opinion!"
"I also support this senior brother!"
Soon, one sect disciple after another raised their hands in response.
"Since you want to compete with me, then let's talk about the price!"
Wu Xuemei immediately said in a cold voice.
"In that case, Fairy Wu, I apologize for offending you."
"Junior Sister, our offer is 14,100 top-grade spirit stones per piece!"
The leader immediately spoke.
"Fourteen thousand two hundred yuan!"
Wu Xuemei made a bid without hesitation.
"Fourteen thousand three hundred yuan!"
"Fourteen thousand four hundred yuan!"
"Fourteen thousand seven hundred yuan!"
"Fifteen thousand yuan!"
The price quickly rose to 15,000 top-grade spirit stones.
Everyone's expression turned solemn, and even Shen Rugo was greatly shocked.
A single rune is worth 15,000 top-grade spirit stones; she's about to strike it rich.
With enough spirit stones, she could easily draw such runes, making it a highly profitable endeavor. Drawing a single rune would only cost her a dozen or so top-grade spirit stones at most.
"Are you really going to oppose me?"
When the price reached 15,000 yuan, Wu Xuemei looked down at the man coldly.
"I'm sorry, Fairy Wu, you really can't keep it all to yourself!"
The man's expression remained calm, after all, he came from one of the top ten major sects, and was ranked fourth, above the Qingyuan Sect.
"Okay, fifteen thousand five hundred yuan!"
Wu Xuemei immediately increased the price by 500 top-grade spirit stones.
"Sixteen thousand yuan!"
The man matched the price without hesitation.
"Seventeen thousand yuan!"
Wu Xuemei immediately added a thousand.
"this?"
Seventeen thousand yuan per piece, even if this is a top-grade level four rune, it is still far beyond its actual price.
The man hesitated for a moment.
"Senior Brother Song, don't be afraid, there are many of us, keep going!"
Someone encouraged them.
"Yes, keep going! No matter how high the price, with so many of us, we can buy all one hundred runes!"
Others joined in the shouting.
"Great! Eighteen thousand top-grade spirit stones per piece!"
The man gritted his teeth.
"Twenty thousand dollars!"
Wu Xuemei was furious, but before she could speak, a voice rang out.
It was none other than Shi Potian.
He directly added two thousand top-grade spirit stones to the price.
To be honest, 20,000 top-grade spirit stones for a single high-grade level 4 rune is already more than three times the normal price, so it's practically meaningless.
At his shout, everyone fell silent.
Firstly, the price is too high, so there's no point in following it; secondly, he is Shi Potian, from Lingxiao Pavilion.
Those present dared to offend Wu Xuemei, but truly did not wish to offend Shi Potian.
Twenty thousand top-grade spirit stones per piece?
Shen Rugo was also shocked. The runes she drew casually could actually sell for 20,000 top-grade spirit stones each.
After a brief silence, Shen Rugo came to her senses and asked loudly with a beaming smile, "This senior brother has bid 20,000 top-grade spirit stones per piece. Are there any other senior brothers or sisters who would like to raise the price?"
"Greed knows no bounds, this is the spirit stone to make up for it!"
Shi Potian snorted coldly and casually tossed out two more bags of spirit stones.
After all, he just gave 1.4 million top-grade spirit stones, and now it's 2 million.
"There's no higher offer, so these one hundred high-grade level four runes are for this senior brother!"
Shen Rugo immediately accepted the two million top-grade spirit stones and handed the rune in her hand to Shi Potian.
Shi Potian merely snorted coldly and did not respond, instead looking at Wu Xuemei.
"So this handsome young man was going to give it to this beautiful young lady."
This is a rune worth two million top-grade spirit stones!
It truly moves me and makes me jealous. There are actually such sincere love stories in the cultivation world of Tianyuan Continent. The young man spends a fortune—no, he spends tens of millions of dollars—to win the heart of the beautiful young lady.
Heavens above, when will you send me such a handsome and devoted young man? I will cherish him dearly and give him all my runes!
Shen Rugo naturally didn't miss this opportunity. While shouting exaggeratedly, she handed the rune to Wu Xuemei.
Wu Xuemei's face immediately turned red. She was both angry and furious, wishing she could strangle Shen Rugo on the spot. She even wanted to slap Shi Potian and kill this pig-headed man.
Although everyone knows that you, Shi Potian, bought the runes to give to yourself, you can't be so blatant as to give them to yourself in front of so many people. Isn't that putting yourself in the spotlight?
Moreover, it was exaggerated by Shen Rugo.
Despite her resentment, she had no choice but to accept the rune and nod to Shi Potian in a perfunctory manner to express her gratitude: "Thank you, Senior Brother Shi. Don't worry, consider these spirit stones a loan from me, and I will definitely repay you in the future!"
"Junior sister, as long as you're happy, that's all that matters. It's just two million top-grade spirit stones. What's mine is yours!"
Shi Potian, however, said with a beaming smile.
"This young man is right. What's yours is mine, and what's mine is yours. You are one person, without distinction."
Shen Rugo added fuel to the fire by clapping and shouting.
How can that little bitch have such a vicious and nasty mouth?
I will never let her go; I will find a chance to drain her of all her life essence.
What is Shi Potian anyway? He's just a stepping stone for me!
Wu Xuemei was furious at this moment. Although she was cursing in her heart, she had to lower her head and pretend to be happy.
After all, they still need Shi Potian to pay for the runes. Judging from Shen Rugo's attitude, she obviously has more runes, and maybe even more advanced ones.
"You little girl, you're so thin and small, but you sure know how to talk!"
Shi Potian was immediately in a good mood and began to praise.
"Young man, of course I can't compare to your handsome and dashing appearance. Only someone like you is worthy of my beautiful young lady!"
As Shen Rugo spoke, she reached into her bosom with her left hand.
"You, you even have a high-grade level four rune?"
Shi Potian was feeling smug as he listened to Shen Ruguo's flattery, but when he saw Shen Ruguo's actions, his expression instantly froze.
He had less than 100,000 top-grade spirit stones left. If Shen Rugo were to take out another hundred high-grade level 4 runes, how could he possibly bid for Wu Xuemei?
"Yes, my cutest and most handsome young man, I have a hundred more top-grade level four runes here. I wonder if my beautiful young lady still wants them? Would you be willing to buy them for her?"
Lingxiao Pavilion occupies the core area of the Star Palace's ancestral land and is the sect most hated by the entire Star Palace.
Shen Rugo already had a bad impression of Shi Potian, so she immediately took out a thick stack of runes and said with a smile.
Almost everyone who saw Shen Rugo take out another hundred runes gasped involuntarily.
As for Wu Xuemei, her expression changed drastically, and she couldn't help but tremble and take a step back.
