Cultivator With Modern AI

Chapter 197 Auction Part V

Almost all eyes were fixed on the huge chunk of Rainbow Coral, apart from its exotic color, it did emit an energy that made their minds calmer and clearer.

"Is this Rainbow Coral your main target, Big Brother? You didn't look enthusiastic since earlier, and you didn't bid on any other items either." Wang Xinruo had been watching Xia Tian, ??who looked inspired.

Xia Tian nodded to him. "Since I'm about to join a sect soon, so I want to set up a formation in Xia Manor, that way they have more protection. Unfortunately, I still lack three more materials."

"What else do you need, Big Brother?"

"Rainbow Coral, Clear Water Pearl, and Snow Ape Heaven Rank Core."

"Clear Water Pearl?" Wang Xinruo then took out a clear blue pearl from her storage ring, and handed it to Xia Tian. "This is the Clear Water Pearl, Big Brother."

"Ah, you've lightened my burden, Little Xinruo! In this way, I'm only looking for a Snow Ape Heaven Rank Core." Xia Tian accepted the Clear Water Pearl, as he laughed softly.

Alice suddenly said to him. [You must get this Rainbow Coral, Master. I detected something inside.]

'Eh?' Xia Tian then used his Heavenly Senses, and he was surprised to see the item inside it. 'Looks like I was really lucky to come to this auction.'

Xia Tian then sent a voice transmission to Murong Feiyan. 'Please help me get this Rainbow Coral, Uncle Murong. I really need this, but don't know if I have enough money or not to bid on it.'

Murong Feiyan nodded at him, he unhesitatingly agreed to Xia Tian's request, as he owed him a lot for curing his wife and second daughter.

Seeing those people's enthusiastic reactions, Hua Xiangyue smiled widely. "Prices start at 500,000 Lower Spirit Crystals, subsequent bidding in multiples of 50,000. Without further ado, let's start the auction for this Rainbow Coral."

"550,000"

"600,000"

People continued to raise their bid prices, in just a few minutes the price skyrocketed, and the highest bid was at 2,000,000 Lower Spirit Crystals, Xia Tian couldn't help but sigh at those people.

"Looks like it's going to be very expensive, Big Brother." Wang Xinruo was also anxiously waiting for the results of the Rainbow Coral auction.

"What else can we do." Xia Tian sighed helplessly. "These people are so unreasonable, they only know the use of Rainbow Coral as a home decoration, yet they sacrificed so many Lower Spirit Crystals."

"2,500,000!" Murong Feiyan finally made his bid, after hearing Xia Tian's words.

The prince frowned when Murong Feiyan made his bid, he snorted then raised his bid again. "3,000,000!"

'That damn prince, I really want to kill him right now!' Xia Tian inwardly cursed furiously.

Without saying anything, Alice secretly helped Xia Tian, ??she manifested herself in the outside world. He used the Stealth Mode taught by the other figure in her space, she immediately emptied the prince's storage ring without him noticing. As an AI created using modern technology and cultivation techniques, it wasn't difficult for her to hijack another powerful cultivator's storage ring, let alone a mere cultivator in the mortal world.

[Master, you better stop Murong Feiyan from bidding.]

Xia Tian raised his eyebrows. 'Why do you want him to stop bidding? I really need that Rainbow Coral, and the items in it are also very useful for Yuhe.'

[Trust me, Master.]

'Uncle Murong, you don't have to bid anymore.' For some reason Xia Tian also believed in Alice, because all this time she had never let him down. Murong Feiyan looked at him in confusion, but he nodded in agreement.

"3,000,000 Low Grade Spiritual Stone, any other bidders?"

"Going Once"

"Going Second"

"Sold to Prince Huo Jin!" Hua Xiangyue announced the winner straight away.

Soon a maid brought Rainbow Coral into the VIP room, and immediately handed it over to the prince. However, Huo Jin frowned as he was about to take the Lower Spirit Crystals from his storage ring, and he panicked as his storage ring was empty.

Seeing Huo Jin who looked panicked, the people in the room looked at him strangely. Previously, he was very arrogant, but now his attitude suddenly became strange.

"Oi hurry up! We are still waiting for the last item, or do you not have the Lower Spirit Crystals to pay for it?" Xia Tian casually quipped at him.

Huo Jin became furious, and shouted angrily. "This must be your doing! Tell me where is the contents of my storage ring."

Everyone was still staring at Huo Jin strangely, and Xia Tia burst out laughing. "Are you an idiot? Since the beginning of the auction, I haven't even moved anywhere, and now you're accusing me of stealing your storage ring?"

"Now I want to ask the honorable people who are in this place, is it possible that we can steal someone else's storage ring without approaching the owner?" Xia Tian then shook his head after asking them, First Prince Huo darkened hearing Xia Tian's question, of course he knew that it was impossible.

"As a prince, your actions have greatly damaged your father reputation, Prince Huo Jin. We who are present here clearly see that he has been sitting in his place all this time, so your accusations are baseless and unreasonable." Shui Lihao finally spoke up to stop their fight. "Don't act like a coward who accuses people carelessly, it's much more honorable to admit that you don't have a Lower Spirit Crystal."

"His actions were disgraceful."

"Obviously Xia Tian didn't move since earlier, but instead he was accused of something like that."

"As a prince, his actions are too disgraceful."

Everyone started talking about Huo Jin's bad attitude, all of their ridicule made his anger overflow, and his face turned red with anger and shame, but he didn't dare to do anything else because Shui Lihao was present.

Huo Jin took a breath, then said to Hua Xiangyue. "I'm really sorry, Miss Hua. Looks like I can't pay it this time, how about I pay it in a few days?"

"Unfortunately, I can't do that, Prince Huo Jin. Because the owner wants to leave this continent as soon as the auction ends." Hua Xiangyue immediately refused his request, she then turned to Murong Feiyan, and announced. "Since Prince Huo Jin can't afford it, then the winner is Patriarch Murong as the second highest bidder."

After hearing Hua Xiangyue's words, the maid handed the Rainbow Coral to Murong Feiyan who immediately paid according to her offer. After clearing the payment, he immediately gave it to Xia Tian. Huo Jin could only swallow his anger, and stared at them with rage.

"The final item in this auction is a pill set, in this set there are four types of pills." Hua Xiangyue then explained the benefits of each pill as Xia Tian had told her. "The person who made this pill is from the Holy Central Continent, and I dare to guarantee that all the effects of this pill are real."

"What!?"

"Holy Central Continent?"

"How will you guarantee it, Miss Hua?" Liu Ming asked Hua Xiangyue, then he glanced at Xia Tian who looked happy. 'Does this have anything to do with him?'

Shui Lihao glanced at Xia Tian, ??as he said in his heart. 'Those pill bottles are the same as the ones he gave Xinruo earlier, it seems like he's the one who auctioned the pills.'

Xia Tian smiled wryly after knowing Shui Lihao was looking at him suspiciously. 'That old man has a keen eye, he seems to have noticed it.'

"If the effect doesn't match the words, then I will make up for it twice. Besides, I will quit as an alchemist, and I will also close this auction house. Is Patriarch Liu satisfied with this?" Hua Xiangyue's words shocked people, they didn't expect her to give such a guarantee.

Liu Ming nodded. "Of course, I am satisfied with your guarantee, Miss Hua."

Hua Xiangyue shook her head helplessly, then said. "Prices start at 4,000,000 Lower Spirit Crystal for this set of pills, and the minimum bid is 300,000. Then let's start the bidding."

"15,000,000!" Just as Hua Xiangyue finished speaking, there was already a woman who made a very high bid.

They looked at the woman, but no one recognized her, and it made them wonder about the woman's identity.

[I can't see her status, Master. Like something is blocking me.]

Xia Tian smiled faintly at Alice's words. 'Of course, you can't see her status, Alice. Since it's just her avatar, and it seems she lives in a realm not far from this Seven Star World, because her avatar is still too weak.'

[Do you recognize her, Master?]

'En, even though I haven't seen her for a long time, but I won't forget her face and voice.' Xia Tian answered.

The woman glanced at Xia Tian, ??and smiled slightly, as she said in her heart. 'What a clever yet cunning brat, and his actions are very careful. It is clear that he concocted the pills, but he deliberately used the Holy Central Continent to avoid these people's suspicions, and also to increase the price of the pills.'

Since no one dared to bid anymore, it was the mysterious woman who got Xia Tian's pills set. However, she immediately looked at Xia Tian with suspicion and curiosity, after she saw the grade of the pills.
