Chapter 44: Obtaining the Spirit Stones



The entire venue fell silent instantly.

At this point, no one else continued bidding. Everyone was stunned, completely overwhelmed by this number.

Qian Duoduo\'s face turned ashen, glaring at him with a look that could kill. It\'s him again! Where on earth did he get so many spirit stones?

Qian Jinjin\'s expression also changed, showing a trace of surprise, but it quickly vanished.

Seven billion spirit stones far exceeded her limit. The limited time had restricted all clans from preparing enough spirit stones, but it had also limited her as well. She hadn\'t had time to prepare either.

She could only hastily draw all the liquid assets from her shops, but it was still far from seven billion spirit stones.

She glanced at the other clan heads and noticed that they did not appear overly shocked. She had already guessed where the seven billion spirit stones came from.

As such, even if she managed to gather seven billion spirit stones, it would be pointless. They could easily pool together ten billion or eleven billion spirit stones. Continuing to bid would be meaningless.

"What should we do? Where did this head of the Long clan get so many spirit stones? Could he be bluffing?" Qian Duoduo anxiously transmitted.

Qian Jinjin did not reply immediately, contemplating whether to cooperate with the other merchant guilds. But she quickly dismissed the idea.

After all, the Qian Commerce guild was an outsider. They had already offended all other guilds by entering this territory. Even if the other guilds agreed to unite, they would most likely exclude the Qian guild.

Thinking this, she sighed inwardly and replied, "The situation is already lost. But this was always a matter of mixed benefits and disadvantages. Even if we obtain this vein, it would offend the local forces, making business difficult."

"With several guilds stirring trouble secretly, the Qian guild might become a target and invite disaster."

"So be it. Since we have no fate with this vein, there\'s no need to insist."

Qian Jinjin was quite open-minded. Not securing the vein did not disappoint her too much. She looked around and smiled, "The head of the Long Clan bids seven billion spirit stones. Any higher bids?"

"Seven billion spirit stones, going once!"

"Seven billion spirit stones, going twice!"

"Seven billion spirit stones, going thrice!"

"Sold! Congratulations to the head of the Long clan!"

Qian Jinjin struck the small hammer heavily on the table.

"Damn it!" The heads of several guilds stood up in panic, cursing loudly.

They were discussing whether to join forces to secure this vein when Qian Jinjin spoke too quickly. The hammer fell before they could finish their discussion, catching them off guard, causing each one to feel frustrated to the point of spitting blood.

She did it on purpose, absolutely on purpose. Despicable! All the guild heads looked livid.

"Hahaha... Much obliged!"

The head of the Long clan complacently cupped his hands to those around him and strode to the auction platform to receive the prize.

Since the map was not in the auction house\'s possession, Long Xuan also stood up and walked to the platform.

Everyone was puzzled about his actions until he placed a rolled-up map on the table. They realized that he was the seller of the fossil vein.

This rolled-up map was not the original enigmatic map but a true terrain map drawn by him. He was not afraid of the little medicine boy recognizing it.

The head of the Long clan curiously examined the man opposite him, finding him tightly wrapped up. He couldn\'t see his appearance, age, or gender, making it hard even to address him. Calling him wrongly might offend him, so he remained silent.

At this moment, Qian Jinjin placed a gold-colored toad on the table, solemnly saying, "In the presence of the integrity Gu, is it true that this map marks an unclaimed vein?"

Long Xuan curiously examined the adorable-looking integrity Gu, resisting the urge to touch it.

Is this the integrity Gu? Legend says it feeds on the power of honesty and detests dishonest beings. If someone dares lie in its presence, it would angrily devour the liar.

Even its owner is not exempt and It would not suffer backlash from a blood contract if it devoured it\'s owner, making it terrifying.

Long Xuan considered refining one himself to avoid being tricked in transactions but dismissed the thought, knowing it was the exclusive treasure of the Qian Clan, with their unique method of creating it. Same-type Gu could sense each other, so he gave up the idea.

"Of course, it\'s true. If there\'s any falsehood, may I be struck down by heaven!" Long Xuan immediately swore.

The integrity Gu nodded in satisfaction, not showing any anger, indicating that he was telling the truth.

The head of the Long clan smiled even more, knowing that although Long Xuan could alter his voice to hide his age, he could still be identified by gender. He decided to address him as \'sir\' and said kindly, "Sir, here are seven billion spirit stones. Please count them!"

Long Xuan took the storage bag.

Qian Jinjin watched his hand closely, noticing he wore black gloves, feeling annoyed at how cautious he was.

Long Xuan swept his soul force through the storage bag, almost blinded by the glitter of the seven billion spirit stones.

However, he realized a dreadful fact: as a lone cultivator, he had no means of obtaining a large-space storage bag.

These seven billion spirit stones couldn\'t fit into his small storage bag, but he couldn\'t admit it. Claiming to have a grand background but using the smallest storage bag would expose him.

Quickly thinking, he said calmly, "No need to count. I completely trust the clan of the Long family."

He trusted nothing. He didn\'t even know the head of the Long family. His trust was in the integrity Gu, believing it would ensure no deceit.

Long Xuan then said, "But my large storage bag is filled with spirit pills. I don\'t know if it can hold so many spirit stones."

"How about this? Give me the large storage bag, and I\'ll give you a bottle of Spirit Gathering Pills in return. How about that?"

After boasting, he placed a bottle of Spirit Gathering Pills on the table.

"Of course, that works!"

The head of the Long family smiled even more, quickly taking the pill bottle, opening it, and smelling the fragrance.

Storage bags were common items, even those with the largest spaces, and were of limited value. Trading one for a bottle of Spirit Gathering Pills was a great deal.

At the same time, Qian Jinjin handed Long Xuan a storage bag, saying, "Here are the 6,700,000 spirit stones from the recent sale of your Spirit Gathering Pills."

"After deducting the 5% commission, 6,365,000 spirit stones remain."

"As for the seven billion spirit stones from selling the vein, our auction house won\'t charge a commission this time since the price wasn\'t high, considering it as making a friend."

"This storage bag is also complimentary."

Long Xuan smiled wider, taking the storage bag and saying, "You\'re considerate. Rest assured, if I find another vein, I\'ll auction it at the Qian guild."

Qian Jinjin smiled, but inwardly she was ranting. Another vein? Does he think veins are like cabbage, easily found? Finding one is already extraordinary, and expecting to find another is absurd.
