"Indeed, I am somewhat tempted!"
Lu Fan nodded and smiled, "To be able to soar in the sky without being suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, this is truly a good treasure."
"If the Sect Master fancies it, you can directly bid for it."
Li Ziming stated frankly, "The pills sold earlier were worth 900 spirit stones. We are not short of money."
"That's true, but if it's too expensive, it's still not ideal!"
Lu Fan shook his head. To refine the Spirit Gathering Pill, he had employed many means and consumed numerous medicinal ingredients, only to obtain 900 spirit stones. Lu Fan cherished them greatly.
"The starting bid for these dual spirit energy wings is 100 spirit stones!"
The man on stage announced, "There is no upper limit. The highest bidder wins!"
With these words, everyone exchanged glances, their interest piqued.
"I bid 150 spirit stones!"
Just then, a man from below the stage spoke, seemingly quite taken with the spirit energy wings.
"I bid 200!"
Another voice rang out. To be able to soar through the sky, and to escape danger with the help of spirit energy wings, this was an invaluable treasure.
"200 spirit stones once!"
"200 spirit stones twice!"
"I bid 300 spirit stones!"
At this moment, a man stood up and said, "I am Xiao Hai from the Qinghai Gang. You all should know me, right?"
The people present all looked on, but dared not speak further, murmuring to themselves. They had not expected Xiao Hai to speak in such a manner, and the implication was clear to everyone.
Within the North Sea Academy, there were three top forces, and the Qinghai Gang was one of them. Xiao Hai, being a member of the Qinghai Gang, deliberately announced his affiliation to obtain the spirit energy wings.
This way, no one would dare to compete with him, lest they become enemies of the Qinghai Gang.
"The Tianshan Sect has its rules. I hope you will conduct yourself with dignity!"
The man on stage frowned, showing great displeasure. He had never expected the person before him to be so despicable, deliberately announcing his affiliation to obtain the spirit energy wings at a low price, preventing others from overbidding.
"Which eye of yours saw me breaking the rules?"
Xiao Hai said coldly, "If you don't clarify this matter today, I will report it, saying that the Tianshan Sect disrespects the Qinghai Gang!"
"You..." The host on stage frowned. He could not bear such responsibility.
The Qinghai Gang was one of the three major forces, and even a powerful sect like the Tianshan Sect dared not offend them lightly.
"Perhaps there has been some misunderstanding. Please do not take offense!"
Just then, Han Li walked over. "I am the steward here. The auction will continue. Is there anyone else who wishes to bid? If not, the spirit energy wings will be his."
"That's more like it!"
Xiao Hai nodded slightly and slowly sat down, exuding an air of arrogance.
"I bid 400!"
A voice emerged. Everyone looked to see Lu Fan, appearing neither humble nor arrogant.
Xiao Hai also turned back abruptly, his expression displeased. He had announced his affiliation precisely to obtain the spirit energy wings at a low price. He had never expected Lu Fan to be so close to acquiring them.
Han Li was also somewhat surprised. The Qinghai Gang was no ordinary force, and Lu Fan's actions might invite trouble.
"What's wrong? I bid 400 spirit stones for these wings. Is there a problem?"
Lu Fan smiled awkwardly. He had no interest in the Qinghai Gang.
"Of course, there's no problem!"
Han Li quickly said, "Is there anyone else who wishes to bid?"
The crowd remained silent, standing aside. They were well aware that Xiao Hai would not let Lu Fan's actions go unpunished.
"Since you are so interested in this item, you may have it!" Xiao Hai said with a light laugh. "However, you should be aware that the Qinghai Gang is not an ordinary force."
"This is an auction house. The auction proceeds according to the rules," Lu Fan smiled. "As for other forces, why mention them? Just because he is from the Qinghai Gang, does that mean others have no choice?"
"Very well, very well. You are the most promising person I have ever met!" Xiao Hai nodded repeatedly, his anger surging.
Lu Fan, however, was unconcerned. He was quite taken with the spirit energy wings, and if he could obtain them, he would not hesitate.
Xiao Hai, seething with anger, directly left the Tianshan Sect.
Han Li looked at the crowd, "Is there anyone else who wishes to bid?"
"400 spirit stones once!"
"400 spirit stones twice!"
"400 spirit stones thrice!"
"Sold!"
Seeing this, the crowd dared not speak casually. The spirit energy wings had been coveted by Xiao Hai, and they dared not purchase them. As for Lu Fan's audacity, he would surely pay the price.
"Who is this kid? How dare he antagonize the Qinghai Gang?"
"You might not know, but he is no ordinary person. I heard he is the leader of the new recruits and has subdued the Black Shark Gang. He should be a recent rising figure."
"So that's how it is. No wonder he's so arrogant. Newcomers are all like this; it's understandable."
Within the auction hall, conversations continued, everyone speaking with serious expressions.
Lu Fan paid them no mind. He went backstage with Han Li and paid the 400 spirit stones. After receiving the spirit stones, Han Li said with some guilt, "I didn't expect an auction to cause you to offend the Qinghai Gang. If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can notify my Tianshan Sect. Although the Tianshan Sect is not as powerful as the Qinghai Gang, it still has some foundation, and mediating such matters is not difficult!"
"Thank you for your kindness!"
Lu Fan smiled faintly and took the spirit energy wings. With these, he could fly into the sky and escape danger in the future.
"Sect Master, should we be heading back?" Li Ziming asked. "I don't know if we can get back. If we can't, it will be troublesome."
"What do you mean by that?" Lu Fan glanced at him.
"To get the spirit energy wings, you offended the Qinghai Gang. That fellow has probably gone to find people to ambush us on the road," Li Ziming stated frankly.
He had long predicted such a situation.
"We obtained this through a legitimate auction. Even if he is a disciple of the Qinghai Gang, so what?" Lu Fan's expression was indifferent. "Does he intend to make a move against me?"
"The Sect Master is right, but then again, they might really intend to make a move!" Li Ziming said with a wry smile.
As soon as they left the Tianshan Sect, Lu Fan's figure suddenly stopped. He looked ahead and indeed saw several figures standing beside Xiao Hai, their expressions quite hostile. Su Dan Novel Network
"Senior Brother Xiao Hai, is this the kid who offended you?"
A man spoke, "He's really audacious, daring to make an enemy of a Qinghai Gang disciple."
"We absolutely cannot let this kid go!"
Xiao Hai said coldly, "I will make him pay the price and know what is called the immensity of heaven and earth!"
With these words, the others nodded slightly, taking the matter seriously.
