From a loser to an immortal sage

Chapter 192 The Final Chapter of the Immortal Auction: Xiao Yao's Counterattack

Boss Mo?

He actually wanted the Nine-Turn Golden Lotus too!

My mind was buzzing. Four hundred thousand high-grade immortal stones—this was far beyond my means.

I gripped the bidding paddle tightly in my hand, my nails almost digging into my flesh.

How to do?

Do I really have to give up?

Not reconciled!

I've gone through so much hardship to get to where I am today, am I going to fail at this last step?

"Forty-one thousand!" Ouyang the wealthy merchant's voice rang out again, tinged with a hint of smugness.

I turned my head sharply to look at him, only to see him staring at me with a defiant expression. He was clearly trying to raise the price on purpose!

“Forty-two hundred thousand!” Venerable Xuanfeng followed closely behind, his voice still calm, yet exuding an undeniable majesty.

Four hundred and twenty thousand!

This is simply an astronomical figure!

I took a deep breath and tried to keep myself calm.

The pressure around me was like a mountain pressing down on me, making it almost impossible for me to breathe.

My heart was pounding faster and faster, as if it were about to burst out of my chest.

My special bidding funds have dwindled to just 50,000 high-grade immortal stones.

If I use all of them, I'll only have 470,000.

But what if they keep raising the price?

what should I do?

I felt my palms start to sweat, and the bidding paddle felt unusually heavy in my hands.

Give up?

No, I can't give up!

The Nine-Turned Golden Lotus is of utmost importance to me; I absolutely cannot let it fall into the hands of others!

But if I take a gamble, what if...

My heart was filled with contradictions and struggles, and the atmosphere around me was extremely tense.

I feel like a butterfly trapped in a spider web, unable to escape no matter how hard I struggle.

“Four hundred and thirty thousand!” Ouyang the wealthy businessman’s voice rang out again, his tone full of mockery.

He seemed to have already concluded that I was unable to raise the price any further.

I gritted my teeth and made a decision in my heart.

"Four hundred and fifty thousand!" I suddenly raised the bidding paddle in my hand, my voice trembling slightly but filled with determination.

The entire audience erupted in uproar once again.

Everyone stared at me in disbelief, as if they had witnessed something incredible.

Ouyang, the wealthy businessman, instantly turned grim. He glared at me fiercely, as if he wanted to devour me alive.

Venerable Xuanfeng also frowned slightly.

"Four hundred and fifty thousand, anyone else bidding?" The auctioneer's voice trembled slightly; he was clearly impressed by my boldness.

The air seemed to freeze; no one spoke.

I stared intently at Boss Mo, praying in my heart that he wouldn't raise the price any further.

Just then, Boss Mo suddenly spoke up: "Miss Xiao Yao," he paused, a meaningful smile playing on his lips, "you..."

“Miss Xiao Yao,” Boss Mo paused, a meaningful smile playing on his lips, “the purple-gold on your body comes from… the Purple Cloud Divine Palace?”

My heart skipped a beat. The purple gold was something I had obtained by chance, and it turned out to be related to the Purple Cloud Temple.

I subconsciously touched the purple-gold sachet at my waist, and forced myself to remain calm, saying, "Boss Mo has a good eye."

Boss Mo laughed and said, "I have some connection with the Zixiao Temple. With that in mind, I will give this Nine-Turn Golden Lotus to Miss Xiao Yao."

A gift?

!

I can hardly believe my ears!

The surroundings were completely silent; you could hear a pin drop.

The wealthy businessman Ouyang's expression shifted from smugness to shock, and then to ashen—a truly fascinating journey.

He suddenly stood up, pointed at Boss Mo, and roared, "Boss Mo, what do you mean by this?! I offered the highest price!"

Boss Mo didn't even glance at him, but just smiled slightly at me: "Miss Xiao Yao, please have Miss Linglong deliver this Nine-Turn Golden Lotus to your residence."

Linglong walked towards me with a charming smile, and I still felt like I was dreaming.

A treasure worth 450,000 high-grade immortal stones, just handed over to me like that?

I took the brocade box from Linglong. It felt warm and smooth to the touch, and a faint fragrance wafted into my nostrils.

"450,000 once! 450,000 twice! 450,000 three times! Sold!" The auctioneer's voice was loud and excited, as if announcing my victory.

I held the brocade box tightly, my heart pounding.

The wealthy merchant Ouyang angrily turned and left, while Venerable Xuanfeng gave me a deep look before turning and disappearing into the crowd.

I walked out of the auction house, and the night breeze gently dispelled my weariness.

I looked down at the brocade box in my hand, my heart filled with joy and excitement.

Suddenly, I felt a strange energy fluctuation coming from the brocade box, which resonated with the divine artifact in my dantian, making a buzzing sound.

I quickly opened the brocade box, and inside lay a golden lotus flower, radiating a soft glow.

This light...

It actually resonates with the divine artifact in my dantian!

I was startled and subconsciously activated the divine artifact within my dantian.

The golden lotus shone brightly, its light reflecting off the divine artifact on my body, forming a dazzling pillar of light that shot straight into the sky!

The people around were stunned by this sudden sight, staring in disbelief as if they had witnessed a miracle.

The auction hall was silent, with only the buzzing resonance echoing through it.

Boss Mo was so shocked he couldn't speak. His eyes widened as he stared at me in disbelief. After a long while, he came to his senses and said excitedly, "Miss Xiao Yao, this Nine-Turn Golden Lotus resonates so well with your divine artifact. It seems to be destiny! How about this, I'll give you another chance. A special treasure will be auctioned off just for you!"

My heart was pounding. The surprise came so suddenly that I could hardly believe my ears.

Those around were also shocked by this reversal and began to discuss it.

"What? Boss Mo is actually going to give Xiao Yao another chance?"

"This is incredible!"

"It seems that Miss Xiao Yao is truly destined for greatness!"

I took a deep breath, trying to stay calm. The opportunity had arrived, and I had to seize it!

"Mr. Mo, thank you for your kindness. I'll offer ten thousand high-grade immortal stones for this treasure!" I said loudly, my voice full of confidence.

Ten thousand high-grade immortal stones?

The price may seem low, but it's just right.

This expressed my sincerity without making Boss Mo feel that I was greedy.

The wealthy merchant Ouyang and Venerable Xuanfeng were clearly not prepared for such a price. They wanted to raise the price, but it was too late.

"Ten thousand high-grade immortal stones once! Ten thousand high-grade immortal stones twice! Ten thousand high-grade immortal stones three times! Sold!" The auctioneer's voice was loud and excited, as if announcing my victory.

I stood in the center of the auction hall, holding two precious items in my hands, my heart filled with joy and pride.

People around me cast envious and admiring glances my way. I basked in the glory of victory. At that moment, I was the center of attention!

I gripped the brocade box tightly in my hand, feeling the powerful energy fluctuations, and a surge of heroic ambition welled up in my heart.

With this Nine-Turn Golden Lotus and this mysterious treasure, my strength will surely advance by leaps and bounds!

"Wen Chen, wait for me..." I murmured to myself, my eyes shining with determination.

I turned and headed towards the VIP room. Linglong quickly followed, her face beaming with barely suppressed excitement. "Miss Xiao Yao, you're amazing!"

I smiled slightly, said nothing, and simply quickened my pace.

I can't wait to get back to the VIP room and examine these two treasures properly...

"This feeling..." I suddenly stopped in my tracks.
