C342 The Hardest Thing to Do Was to Accept the Favor of a Beauty
Very quickly, a female cultivator walked over and handed it over. A black plate. This was probably the proof of the deal after the auction.
After the Red Cloud Whip was auctioned off, the auction continued. Wu Di's hand that was holding the black plate was sweating.
No wonder it was the hardest to accept a beauty's kindness. His senior sister only held his hand for a moment and he spent a lot of money for it. After that, other than his heart beating a little faster, he did not regret it at all.
Meng Bingyao was probably also stunned for a long time before she finally remembered that her hand was still on the back of Wu Di's hand. She subconsciously pulled back her hand. Helplessly, Wu Di moved even faster and actually grabbed her hand.
The warm and sweaty big hand held onto the cold and slippery small hand. This kind of touch made Wu Di and Meng Bingyao's heart surge with a strange feeling.
After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Huo Yan'er came back. At the same time she appeared, Meng Bingyao had already pulled her hand back quickly. She did not look at her eyes, as if nothing had happened.
Huo Yan'er was still in a bad mood. If it was not enough, she would not be able to see the Red Cloud Whip anymore. She did not say a word about it and continued to watch the auction.
Wu Di saw that the woman who couldn't calm down at this moment was behaving like a little rabbit. He felt that it was worth it to buy the Red Cloud Whip. Under the circumstances where Huo Yan'er was completely unprepared, Wu Di stuffed the black token in his hand into Huo Yan'er's hands.
Huo Yan'er initially thought that Wu Di was messing with her, but when she saw the black plate in her hand clearly marked with the three big words Red Cloud Whip, she was so shocked that she could not speak.
"This... this is not real, right?" Huo Yan'er stuttered for a moment before she finished speaking.
"If you don't believe your eyes, then return this thing to me." Wu Di said as he wanted to take it back.
Huo Yan'er saw that she immediately held her hands in her arms, not giving Wu Di any chance to snatch it away. Wu Di looked at her perky chest and immediately looked away.
Huo Yan'er did not know that her arms around her chest accentuated her proud figure. She stroked the black plate in her hands happily, as if it was a Red Cloud Whip.
Wu Di was not in the mood to care about Huo Yan'er being infatuated with the plate. Instead, he focused his attention on the next auction item. That was the fragment of the Shennong Caldron. He just did not know if he could get it this time.
After the current item was auctioned off, the person in charge of the auction placed the tray containing the medicinal pieces of Shennong Cauldrons on it. No one knew what method they used to allow the medicinal pieces of Shennong Cauldrons to float above the tray. The slow rotation allowed the people below the stage to see even more clearly.
Wu Di's gaze never left the pieces of Shennong Cauldron ever since it appeared. He was communicating nervously with the small caldron, thinking about how he could smoothly take down the pieces of Shennong Cauldron. What if someone else took it away? What should he do?
Thinking about things would always avoid a lot of trouble. While Wu Di and the small caldron were discussing countermeasures, the people on the stage had already started introducing.
"This is an unknown small caldron fragment. According to our pavilion master's personal appraisal, it contains a very rare root gold and red stream."
These words immediately caused a huge commotion. Wu Di's heart sank when he heard the discussions around him. It seemed that no one recognized the fragment of the Shennong Caldron. However, there were people who treated it as a top grade artifact forging material.
What if this pieces of Shennong Cauldron was disintegrated and merged into another weapon? Then this medicinal Shennong Caldron would no longer have the chance to recover its original appearance.
"Wu Di, you can't let anyone fuse with this fragment. Otherwise, I'll be in a hurry." The small caldron said anxiously.
Wu Di was speechless. This thing wasn't even his. How could he make the decision? Anyway, he could only do his best later. If he really couldn't take out all his trump cards, he believed that he could sell them for a good price.
Wu Di stored a lot of high-grade medicinal Wu Dis in his storage ring. This was mainly because the medicinal pills seemed to have become stronger. In addition, most of the medicinal Small Caldron Artifact Spirits he took from Danyao Peak were middle-grade and above. After being filtered by the medicinal useless pills, they directly turned into high-grade medicinal small caldrons. Naturally, the price was not cheap.
"Name a price of 500 High-grade Spirit Stones."
When Wu Di heard that the starting price was five hundred spirit stones, he already felt that it would be very difficult to bid for the fragment.
"One thousand!"
"Three thousand!!"
The bids rose and fell, and these people seemed to have gone mad as they began to crazily bid. Wu Di heard it from the side and broke out in cold sweat. He didn't need to interrupt in the early stages, so it was useless to interrupt. He was determined to get the Shennong Caldron, so he had to wait until the price stopped before he was willing to open his mouth and bid. Even if he shouted now, it would still be in vain.
"Wu Di, you seem to be very nervous about this thing. The root gold and the red stream are indeed the hardest to obtain among the materials for refining weapons. However, since you have the Seven Star Divine Spear, it won't affect you if you don't have it, right?"
Huo Yan'er was not really heartless. At this moment, she still knew how to observe Wu Di's reaction.
Wu Di said, "It has nothing to do with that kind of thing. I want to get it for other purposes."
With that said, Huo Yan'er and Meng Bingyao also paid more attention to the items being auctioned on the stage.
It didn't take long for the price to reach seven thousand spirit stones. This price made Wu Di's heart beat wildly. Adding all of his belongings, Wu Di estimated that there should be thirteen thousand High-grade Spirit Stones. Helping Huo Yan'er buy medicinal Red Cloud Whips cost 2000, and there were still 11,000 left. Now, the price of the Shennong Caldrons had risen to seven thousand. It seemed that there was still a trend of continuing to rise. Why didn't Wu Di feel anxious?
"Calm down. If worst comes to worst, I'll get you some more high-grade medicinal pills. I don't believe that it can't cover the cost of buying a small caldron fragment."
Of course, Wu Di still had other assets. Those hundred stalks of spirit grass and spirit fruits that were over a thousand years old could be sold at a sky-high price. Of course, these things were obtained from the Misty Valley.
Wu Di took away a portion of each, and the rest were all moved to a safe and secluded place. A few of them should have already turned into monsters, so Wu Di did this to let them live. They would take care of their own kind.
Without the protection of the demon dragon, there would definitely be cultivators entering that place very quickly. For example, the Pegasus Sect. If they hadn't entered that place, how could they have found the bodies of those three old monsters?
"It's easy to say. There are many treasures on Early Period of the Heavenly Strong Stage cultivators. Do you think the Myriad Treasure Store will continue to trade or kill them to seize their treasures?" Wu Di wasn't as blind as the small caldron. He cherished his life very much.
The small caldron was speechless. In just a few sentences, the price had risen to ten thousand High-grade Spirit Stones. Wu Di felt like his heart was about to jump out of his throat. Previously, he had obtained a fragment of the small caldron without spending a single cent, but now, he might not be able to buy it even if he had to spend more than 10,000 High-grade Spirit Stones.
However, the subsequent bids made Wu Di relax a little. "The frequency of each bid has increased to dozens to hundreds, and the number of bidders is also getting lesser and lesser.
Wu Di estimated that the number of bidders was decreasing. "I only have one in a million. He raised his hand and shouted, "Eleven thousand."
The surroundings were silent, and Wu Di was silent as well. He was silently pleading that no one else bid, or else he would really be afraid that he wouldn't be able to take it.
However, it just so happened that someone shouted at this moment. Twelve thousand."
Wu Di was silent, but the small caldron could not remain calm. "Hurry up and bid."
Wu Di's palms were sweating, but he still raised his hand calmly. "13,000."
No one was talking about it, as if they were waiting for the ridiculous bidding to stop.
The heavens did not hear Wu Di's request, because that man seemed to be against Wu Di. He raised his hand again, "14,000."
The crowd was in an uproar. Although root gold and red stream were rare, it wasn't that they couldn't be bought. Even if they spent spirit stones to buy it, the price was enough to buy a small piece of root gold or a small piece of red stream.
Wu Di was under a lot of pressure right now. He really didn't want to buy it anymore. It didn't matter to him whether he wanted this fragment or not. However, the small caldron seemed to be very concerned about its body in the past. Right now, its nagging made Wu Di want to go crazy.
"Fifteen thousand!" Wu Di called out again.
