Chapter 1174: Chapter 1174: Keep Pretending!

Spirit Stones were indeed quite valuable; a low-grade, ordinary Magic Artifact could be bought for just a few hundred Spirit Stones, while a few tens of thousands of Spirit Stones could purchase some low-grade magical treasures.

"How many could one hundred million Spirit Stones buy?"

Even for the Great Sects, one hundred million Spirit Stones was not a small amount, and the proud young man was merely a junior member of a Sect. Yet his ability to spend more than one hundred million Spirit Stones showed that he must have had a substantial background and ample financial resources.

Everyone’s gaze was fixed on Carson Flores, filled with anticipation.

The price had already soared so high, would he continue to bid?

Due to the proud young man’s arrogant display just now and Carson Flores’s calm and steady bidding behavior, by comparison, everyone naturally favored the composed Carson Flores.

The man also had money, but he didn’t show off like you do, which was much more tasteful.

One of the two would naturally fail, and everyone hoped that the proud young man would be the one defeated.

Under the expectant gaze of all, Carson Flores calmly raised his placard.

"Add fifty."

Amid exclamations, laughter grew louder, and everyone’s gaze once again fell on the face of the proud young man, with a rather meaningful look.

The proud young man turned his head sharply and stared coldly at Carson Flores, "Can you really produce that many Spirit Stones?"

Carson Flores smiled indifferently, "This auction house has its rules. If I can’t come up with the money, I probably won’t be able to leave, right? You shouldn’t worry about this."

The crowd burst into laughter, their eyes full of schadenfreude as they looked at the proud young man.

There you go, acting all high and mighty! Keep it up!

Can’t keep up the facade anymore?

Suddenly everyone was doubting whether he actually had that many Spirit Stones.

This place has its rules; if a bid is called and the Spirit Stones can’t be produced, a heavy price must be paid.

The proud young man thought about the money in his pocket and felt that if the auction continued, he definitely couldn’t compete with Carson Flores, and the more he proceeded, the more of a laughingstock he would become.

Rather than that, why not let the other party buy it, and then find him "privately" to "negotiate"? In any case, he was determined to get the Divine Thunder Soul Wood!

Whether it was by buying, stealing, or snatching!

The proud young man naturally wouldn’t utter threats out loud but merely laughed coldly, "Fine, you have the money, I’ll let you have it."

At this point, Carson Flores breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it cost one hundred million Spirit Stones, he had finally managed to acquire the Divine Thunder Soul Wood that was rarely encountered in a hundred years!

Out of the four Spiritual Medicines, he had now purchased two.

Just half left!

Carson Flores had no need for the other auctioned Spiritual Medicines and went straight to the backstage, paid the money, and took the exceptionally hard, charcoal-like piece of Divine Thunder Soul Wood into his hands.

Carson Flores didn’t wait for the auction to end; he left straight away.

Standing at the bustling auction hall entrance, Carson Flores turned to ask, "What do we do next?"

Delaney Hunter suggested, "There seems to be a buyer’s area over there, where the empty stalls don’t sell anything but simply post messages seeking certain Spiritual Medicines. Why don’t we also find a stall and put up a purchasing message? Even if we can’t buy the actual items, it would be good to obtain some information about the other two kinds of Spiritual Medicines."

Carson Flores thought it made sense. He would be idle anyway, and the trading festival was still going on for ten days. Hang up a purchase message; who knew if there might be some gain?

"Alright, let’s also post a purchase notice. Wander around daily, check out the auction house, and the rest of the time, just stick to the buying stall and see if we can get lucky."

"Sure!"

While Carson Flores and Delaney Hunter were discussing, at a stall in the rear left corner, a middle-aged man was looking at the items on the stall, his eyes subtly observing Carson Flores and Delaney Hunter.

Across from the auction house’s main gate, an elderly man with white hair sat on a chair, looking absent-minded, but upon closer inspection, one could see that he was keeping Carson Flores and Delaney Hunter in his peripheral vision.

In the bustling square, with people coming and going, Carson Flores naturally couldn’t tell who was watching him.

After finishing their discussion, the two headed to the buyer’s area and found a relatively prominent position, spending Spirit Stones to rent a signboard, on which they wrote their demand for the two kinds of Spiritual Medicines.

"High price for Jade Phoenix Grass and Bodhi Blood. Without the items, those providing detailed information will also be rewarded."

The two sat there until the market closed.

The trading festival’s square operated only during the day and closed at dusk. Everyone had to leave the square, and of course, you could choose to stay nearby overnight or return to Wan Jue City, since it wasn’t far away.

"Let’s just find a place to rest; I can’t be bothered to run around, especially since we still have ten days."

"Alright!"

At this time, throughout Wan Jue Mountain, Cultivators were resting everywhere. After all, almost everyone carried small Building Talismans for rest, which were very convenient.

Carson Flores and Delaney Hunter found a relatively quiet spot, threw down their small pavilion, and entered it.

The sheer curtain lifted halfway without a breeze, and then Cristopher Hopkins Immortal’s voice resounded within the pavilion.

"How is it, any progress?"

Carson Flores replied, "The Flawless Fruit and Divine Thunder Soul Wood are in our hands. For the other two, there’s no information yet. We have posted a notice to buy; there are nine more days. Let’s wait and see."

Cristopher Hopkins Immortal whispered softly, "It must have cost quite a few Spirit Stones, right?"
