The Founder of Qi Cultivation, Reincarnates?

All of these geniuses' eyes in the pavilion soon landed on Dai Hee who had his hand up and a defiant look on his face.

"Who is that guy? He actually bid two hundred million high-grade spirit stones even after what just happened?"

"He must have guts, everyone else is intimidated by those two."

"Bah, isn't he just some arrogant fool that can't read the situation? Those two aren't people to be messed with, it's better to just avoid drawing their attention. I already got an item to help me enter the top one hundred and qualify for entrance into the Hidden Fragmented Realm, why would I antagonize them and paint a target on my back when I enter? That's just suicidal!"

"That's right, but wait, isn't that the Masked Prophet?"

"Oh, it really is him!"

Soon everyone realized who Dai Hee was and that he wasn't some arrogant fool looking for death. Everyone also notice Lu Shin and Lu Yue were in that both, and some also recognized Yang Su who beat Sol Anang the day before.

Gu Jin turned his head towards Dai Hee and everyone with a terrifyingly calm look on his face. His cold voice then echoed out.

"What do you think you're doing?"

As if he couldn't read the situation, Dai Hee scoffed and responded loudly.

"What am I doing? Isn't it obvious? I'm bidding for an item at an Auction! Is that really such a shocking matter that you can't even understand it? I don't want to question your intelligence but even a toddler could understand this!"

Dai Hee's words were filled with toxic acid as he spoke and he didn't hold back anything, even by a bit.

Everyone hearing these biting words were further taken aback by how strongly Dai Hee clapped back at Gu Jin. This made everyone think he must have balls of steel.

"Elder brother Dai Hee…"

Jun said as he turned to Dai Hee, but his words trailed off when he saw Dai Hee's ugly expression. After a moment of thought Jun, had a look of realization flashed past his eyes.

'Oh, are those Divine Fire Spirit Stones yours brother Dai?'

Jun sent a voice transmission to Dai Hee.

Seeing Dai Hee nod, Jun relaid this to the others.

Lu Shin suddenly snapped his head towards Dai Hee and scowled. To think someone would be this upset over losing some spirit stones. But Lu Shin didn't comment as perhaps this wasn't Dai Hee being a greedy miser but the fact that he was losing spirit stones he could use to bid for the Soul Nourishing pill.

While staring directly at Dai Hee, Gu Jin coldly made a bid.

"Two hundred and one million high-grade spirit stones."

"Three hundred million high-grade spirit stones!"

Dai Hee adding a hundred million high-grade spirit stones to his bid stunned everyone. He didn't have balls of steel, he had balls of Tungsten alloy!

Gu Jin didn't react, unlike when he was dealing with Mai Rong who was his equal, he was calm while dealing with an insignificant bug like Dai Hee. With his eyes narrowed into slits, Gu Jin slowly said.

"Three hundred and one million high-grade spirit stones."

"Four hundred million high-grade spirit stones!"

"Four hundred and one million high-grade spirit stones."

"Five hundred million high-grade spirit stones!!"

Dai Hee's shout rattled the beams in the roof of the pavilion and echoed over the silent and dumbfounded disciples.

This time no bid came from Gu Jin, he was completely silent. This caused everyone to think he had given up on the Divine Fire Spirit Stones.

Dai Hee who was first upset that this bastard wanted to cheat him out of his spirit stones, suddenly became nervous.

'Damn did I got too carried away and scared him off? If that's the case am I going to have to pay five hundred million high-grade spirit stones for my own item? Oh, crap!'

However, just when Dai Hee was getting worried about Gu Jin not being willing to bid anymore, his voice suddenly echoed.

"Five hundred and one million high-grade spirit stones. Masked Prophet was it? I heard you're from the Sol Clan and your name is Sol Dai Hee. Brother Dai Hee, this is the final bid I will make for these Divine Firestones, do you dare bid higher?"

That 'brother Dai Hee' was meant to sound respectful but coming from Gu Jin it just straight-up sounded threatening.

Dai Hee having his real name called out by Gu Jin gave him the creeps. It seemed like he didn't immediately bid earlier because he was finding out who he was.

However, Dai Hee didn't really care for this or Gu Jin's threat, he was just relieved that he bid again.

'Score!'

After releasing an internal sigh, Dai Hee began channeling his inner A-list actor persona.

On the surface, Dai Hee showed a face that was struggling with a decision. He looked at the Divine Fire Spirit Stones in the chest on the stage with greed and a dash of longing, but as if Gu Jin's words were ringing in his mind Dai Hee's face slowly transition to a downcast expression as if fear was forcing him to see reality. He then reluctantly looked away from the Divine Fire Spirit Stones as if he had given up on them.

Almost everyone saw these changes and thought he was ultimately scared of offending Gu Jin more than he already had.

Gu Jin was heard snorting in contempt, perhaps having to deal with a fool like Dai Hee.

However, the old man on the stage was moments away from flying up to the third floor and giving Dai Hee a massive hug. He didn't hesitate to call out for other bidders three times, not even waiting to hear someone else before declaring Gu Jin the winner.

It was obvious to everyone that he was worried Gu Jin would retract his bid once again.

While someone hefted up the chest with the Divine Fire Spirit Stones inside to carry it to the fourth floor where Gu Jin, a wide grin was plaster across the old man's face as he said.

"Everyone, the next item is one you all are probably eager for, so without wasting any more time let's move on to the main item of our auction, the Soul Nourishing pill! Even our Alchemy Masters couldn't fully examine it, however, we estimate that it retained at least 95% of its medicinal effects during its concoction. Calling it a miracle pill isn't out of the question, but asides from the Soul Nourishing pill we have something additional everyone might like."

As the old man spoke to hype up everyone, a female attendant came up to the stage to place a small box on top of one of two short pillars. Shockingly, another female came and place another box on the second pillar.

Seeing the two boxes a clamor of noise echoed out as everyone questioned whether there were actually two Soul Nourishing pills instead the one they previously thought.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the crowd on the ground floor, Lan Yu Ze's wails and pleas became increasingly louder as Long Feng slapped him repeatedly.

'How dare you sold off two and lie it was one!'

Long Fen's voice transmission boomed in Lan Yu Ze's mind.

'N-No, wait, I…Wah!!'

As this vicious beating went unnoticed, everyone completely forgot about the incident between Gu Jin and Dai Hee and was focused on those two boxes.

However, one person wasn't looking at the boxes but at Dai Hee instead.

It wasn't Gu Jin as expected, but rather Mi Rong. She was smiling behind her veil; only having her eyes to tell she was doing so.

"Interesting," was the only thing she said while she opened and closed the ordinary-looking blue fan.
