C135 Blood Spitting Rongping
C135 Blood Spitting Rongping
Wu Peng was so scared that his face turned pale. He quickly said, "Young Sect Master, this Lin Long is indeed a member of a small family, I just don't know where he got all this money from. Maybe he is just randomly shouting."
Hearing Wu Peng's words, Rong Ping nodded his head. For a moment, he felt that it was because no matter how he looked at it, Lin Long did not seem to be the owner of a lot of money.
"Seventeen million going twice. If no one else bids, then this Xuan Beast Fruit belongs to the customers in Room 308." The auctioneer's voice sounded from below.
"Auctioneer, wait." At this time, Rong Ping quickly replied.
"Customer of room 201, what is your problem?" The auctioneer below said.
"I suspect Room 308 doesn't have that much money. He's just here to make trouble." Rong Ping said fiercely.
Hearing this, the audience immediately burst into laughter.
"This must be the first time that the guest up there has been to the Black Ridge Gorge Auction, so I didn't know that the Auction House has already determined each guest's financial strength. Once a certain guest calls out an auction price that exceeds the amount of Yun dollars in his card, he will immediately stop them from doing such an improper thing."
"What if you can't even rent a room on the third floor for twenty million?"
"I guess it's a bumpkin from somewhere. If he doesn't have any money, he might as well slap his face to make a fool of himself. Go and order a private room on the second floor."
The jeering from below the stage caused Rong Ping's face to turn from red to white. Although his Luoyue Sect wasn't considered a small sect, it was indeed the first time that he, Rong Ping, had ever been here, so he did not know of this sort of rule.
Uncle Ke was a frequent visitor here. However, he had already been kicked out of the room. Otherwise, he wouldn't have lost face on the spot.
Fortunately, other than Lin Long's room, no one else knew that the one in room 201 was Rong Ping.
However, when he remembered that there was still one more He Qingxue in room 308, his expression became even more unsightly, and he immediately glared at Wu Peng.
At this time, Wu Peng was so regretful that his intestines had turned green, how could he have known that his words would cause such an outcome?
"It is not the fault of the ignorant. Room 201, guests, please do not make such small mistakes again. The auction will continue." The auctioneer below laughed and said.
"18 million!" Being ridiculed by everyone like this, if he did not bid, then where could Rong Ping hide his face? Thus, he immediately shouted with gritted teeth.
"Eighteen million five hundred thousand." Lin Long called out his bid slowly.
"This Lin Long!" Rong Ping was so angry that he spat blood, he clearly knew that Lin Long was purposely raising the price, but how could he show any weakness at this time, he immediately shouted again, "Nineteen million five hundred thousand!"
"20 million." Lin Long said again.
Hearing Lin Long calling out a price like that, He Qingxue anxiously said, "Young Noble, the price is too high, if Rong Ping does not call out a price, you will die from losses."
However, Lin Long said, "Don't worry, Rong Ping will follow along and bid."
Lin Long was naturally able to tell that due to Rong Ping's personality and the fact that he was determined to obtain the profound beast fruit, he would definitely shout along with him.
Of course, he could not keep bidding, it was sufficient as long as it was appropriate, or else, if Rong Ping was unable to continue bidding, he would be at a disadvantage.
Therefore, when he shouted for twenty-five million, Lin Long stopped and gave the Profound Beast Fruit to Rong Ping who had shouted for twenty-six million.
The people below the two of them could naturally see what was going on. When the Xuan Beast Fruit finished bidding, the people below the stage could not help but discuss among themselves.
"Room 201's bumpkin was obviously toyed with by the more powerful tycoons."
"Apparently, he was eaten alive by them. It was originally worth fifteen million yuan. That's because he gained ten million yuan in just a short amount of money."
"Room 308's guests seem to be even richer, not just in terms of money, but also in terms of intelligence. They seem to be above that country bumpkin in room 201."
"I'm afraid this country bumpkin from Room 201 is going to vomit blood."
Hearing these discussions, Elder Ke, who was sitting in a corner below, shook his head helplessly. One Xuan Beast Fruit cost an additional ten million yuan.
As for Rong Ping who was upstairs, he was so angry that his face turned green.
However, there was something that diverted his attention slightly afterwards.
This was a ten feet tall, half a foot wide, stone-like stone pillar. The stone pillar was black, but what made him feel strange was that he wasn't able to see what material this stone pillar was made of.
Most importantly, there were some strange runes carved on this rock.
"Wu Peng, have a look at the runes on the stone?" Rong Ping said to Wu Peng who was beside him.
The reason why Rong Ping accepted Wu Peng at the beginning was because Wu Peng had a pretty good Symbol Literature, so he naturally knew what Wu Peng was good at.
Once Wu Peng saw that it was something that he was proficient in, he immediately became spirited. However, after looking at the runes for a while, his face became more and more surprised.
"Why?" Rong Ping asked.
"This rune is too strange. I can only see a tiny bit of it." Wu Peng said dejectedly.
He originally wanted to show off his skills on the stone pillar and take the credit in front of Rong Ping, but who knew that he would not be able to understand this Rune. Forget about it, he had no idea what the cause of this Rune and the current Symbol Literature was.
"Trash!" Rong Ping, who was in a bad mood, directly glared at Wu Peng and scolded him.
Wu Peng could only make a bitter face.
"This is a piece of Lava Profound Stone dug out from underground lava, and the seal runes carved on it let its energy be contained within. This kind of Lava Profound Stone has the ability to increase a martial artist's profound energy, and as long as a martial artist cultivates it while sitting on top of this Lava Profound Stone, the effect will be achieved."
At this point, the auctioneer paused, and continued after sweeping a glance at the crowd below, "However, what a pity, these Lava Profound Stones are only useful for martial artists below the middle stage of Martial Master Realm, and the most useful thing is for martial artists. The further up they go, the weaker their effects become."
However, after the auctioneer made such a turn, most people could not help but shake their heads. If it was said that it would be useful to martial artists of all stages, then it would undoubtedly be a good thing. However, it would only have a great effect on martial artists.
"The starting price of this Lava Profound Stone is one hundred thousand." The auctioneer's voice rang out.
Although it was useless for the majority of the people, as soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, quite a few people started bidding. After all, this Lava Profound Stone, which was useful for practitioners below the middle stage of Martial Master Realm, was still of some value.
At this time, in room 308, He Qingxue asked Lin Long, "This rune is really strange, I can only tell that it should be a rune from an ancient era, I wonder what Sir can see?"
He Qingxue's knowledge on the Symbol Literature was many times stronger than Wu Peng, but even so, she was still unable to see through the history of these runes, let alone understand its meaning.

Lin Long smiled faintly, "This rune was used by seniors a thousand years ago."
"A thousand years ago? How did Young Master know? " He Qingxue could not help but widen her eyes. She did not expect that the age of these runes would be so far away from them.
"My teacher once taught me a little Symbol Literature like that," Lin Long said.
He Qingxue did not know whether it was normal or not, because in her previous life, it was many years before Lin Long could learn such a rune from a Charm Magician.
"I really envy you, Young Master, for having such a good teacher." He Qingxue could not help but say with envy.
Soon after, the two focused their attention on the auction.
The bidding price had already reached three million.
At this time, there were still many people bidding for the Lava Profound Stone, and only after someone shouted out a bid of five million did the number of people decrease.
When the price was called for six million, the bidders began to decrease in number.
At this time, Lin Long began to call out prices. He directly added five hundred thousand to the six million.
"Damn. That guy actually called out a price again." Those people who thought that they could get the Lava Profound Stone for about six million were immediately a little depressed.
Lin Long's previous rich performance made them feel a deep fear towards him.
As expected, after Lin Long called out the price, they all chose to withdraw, because Lin Long simply did not follow common sense. He shouted with a bid of one hundred thousand gold but he actually shouted with a bid of five hundred and fifty thousand gold.
Moreover, the current price had already completely exceeded the value of the Melted Golden Profound Stone. If he were to raise the price again with Lin Long, even if he was able to bid, he would definitely die from losses.
Therefore, they wisely withdrew from the auction and in the end, Lin Long bid for the Lava Profound Stone for seven million five hundred thousand.
To be honest, Rong Ping, who was below, had originally wanted to follow after Lin Long and beat up the price, but being tricked twice by Lin Long, the shadow in his heart was obviously too big. Hence, this kind of thought was just to think, he didn't dare to bid at all.
"Sir, these Lava Profound Stones aren't really worth that much, and your strength has already surpassed the middle stage of the Martial Master Realm. These Lava Profound Stones are simply useless to you, could it be that young master only wants them because of these different runes?" When Lin Long bought the Lava Profound Stone, he couldn't help but ask this question.
Elder Dong also looked at Lin Long confusedly.
"Because there is a deeper meaning behind this rune." Lin Long smiled slightly.
"It has a deeper meaning. What is that?" He Qingxue asked curiously, she faintly felt that if this was true, the true value of this Lava Profound Stone would absolutely not be limited to just these seven million.
"You'll know soon enough." Lin Long kept them in suspense.
