Chapter 149: Bloodline Martial Technique (2/3)
Xiao Huishui is such a stunning beauty, absolutely a treasure for men. If someone can see her and not be moved, they must either be a eunuch or impotent.
Ying Bingfeng was a young generation of the Ying family in Langyue country, highly valued, with wisdom and strategy that could be called top-notch. Such a person would not be easily confused by beauty. But Xiao Huishui was too beautiful and charming, making his decades of cultivation shatter in an instant, giving rise to a strong sense of possessiveness.
Of course, he wouldn't dare to show it in front of Mei Yuexiang. After all, he was playing the card of bitter love, infatuated with Mei Yuexiang and chasing her all over the world.
His legitimate wife, of course, must be a woman who matches his status and position, while Xiao Huishui, whether as a concubine or a female slave, is naturally a stunning beauty to be treasured.
Ying Feng didn't doubt that there were women who could resist his favor, the Ying family, Ye family, and Mei family were the three most powerful families in Lang Yue country. Apart from the women of the other two families who couldn't be taken at will, would any other woman dare to say no?
He smiled slightly, with great charm and handsome appearance, enough to make beauties fall in love: "Xiang Mei, won't you introduce me?"
"This young lady is not familiar with you, don't be so affectionate, ugh, disgusting!" Mei Yixiang's face was full of disgust.
Ying Bingfeng didn't put it in his heart, and he wasn't the first time to be treated coldly by Mei Yixiang. He first showed a hint of pride towards Zhou Heng, saying: "I am Ying Bingfeng, how do you address yourself?"
Zhou Heng smiled faintly and said, "I'm not familiar with you either, don't pretend to be close!"
He saw the fleeting greed in Ying Feng's eyes towards Xiao Huo Shui, and as a man with an extremely strong sense of possession, although Xiao Huo Shui had not yet agreed to be his slave girl, Zhou Heng had already treated Xiao Huo Shui as his exclusive property, not allowing any other man to covet her.
Ying Bingfeng's face sank involuntarily, how dare this kid be so cold to him?
Not to mention his noble birth, from the prestigious Langyue country, but his own cultivation has reached the level of splitting heaven and earth, among the young generation can be called a leader, far surpassing Zhou Heng!
What right does this kid have to ignore himself?
"Your Excellency, don't lightly refuse others' kindness!" He said coldly, not directly taking action because of the rules of Tianbao Pavilion. Fighting was prohibited within Tianbao Pavilion, otherwise it would be considered a provocation to Tianbao Pavilion.
Tianbao Pavilion is an absolute behemoth, even the three top aristocratic families of Langyue Country dare not offend it.
"What's it to you!" Mei Yixiang said hastily, "No one invited you in, what are you muttering about here? Do you understand the rules or not, barging in and barking wildly, I really don't know who taught you that!"
Her words were merciless, and Ying Feng's handsome face immediately turned bright red.
Nothing is more humiliating than being scolded by the girl he's pursuing. As a proud son of heaven, how could Ying Feng endure such humiliation? He glared at Zhou Heng with hatred and stormed off.
Zhou Heng inexplicably said: "Obviously you scolded him, why is he staring at me?"
"He's an idiot!" Mei Yixiang curled her lip in disdain.
"Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Today's auction is now officially underway!" Just then, a hoarse voice came from downstairs, and the curtain was finally raised on this auction.
"Zhou Gongzi, please sit down here!" Xiao Huoshui extended an invitation to Zhou Heng.
"Alright!" Zhou Heng thought for a moment and accepted it. Whether it was Xiao Huoshui or Mei Yixiang, both were troublesome existences, and going to either side would be the same.
Mei Weixiang sat down uninvited and said, "Xiao Zhouzi, next time you see that gloomy guy, give him a good beating for me! No matter what happens, I'll cover for you!"
Dark and gloomy? Should be icy wind?
Zhou Heng sighed, compared to the nickname "Yin Seng Sen", either "Xiao Zhou Zi" or "Xiao Heng Zi" would be better by a dozen times! He also didn't bother to argue with Mei Yixiang, what if she came up with an even more terrible nickname that could rival "Yin Seng Sen"?
"That's Yīn Sēn Sēn, a master of the Split Earth Realm. Are you sure you can beat him?" Zhōu Héng asked, turning his head.
"Don't worry, I'll fully support you in this auction and buy all the treasures that can increase your cultivation for you, so you can break through to the Earth Realm as soon as possible. Then you can beat him up!" Mei Yixiang said excitedly.
This woman is indeed a troublemaker, stirring up trouble everywhere!
Zhou Heng couldn't help but smile wryly, wondering if he had the potential to be a pretty boy.
The auction is underway, as many young and handsome men from Langyue country have arrived. The items up for auction this time are indeed of a much higher grade. Zhou Heng's moon pearls have also appeared, but there are only three of them, clearly a rare commodity that Tianbao Pavilion wants to maximize the value of.
Zhou Heng looked on bored, while Mei Yixiang was lavishly buying dan medicine and ling fruit that could enhance her cultivation. However, these things were hard to come by, and even if she spent a lot of spirit stones, the gains were extremely limited.
"Next, we have a special martial skill!" The auctioneer cleared his throat, revealing an excited expression. "Everyone knows that the power of bloodlines can be comparable to martial skills, but how to use it is a big problem! And this 'Nine You Ice Heaven Secret' can allow people with water attribute bloodline power to use their bloodline power in the form of martial skills, increasing its might!"
Everyone was moved.
Like Zhou Heng's metalization, it can be said that his defensive martial skills are extremely strong, but he doesn't know how to use them. He just sets them up in places where he is attacked to reduce the damage he receives. If he could use them like a martial skill, their power would definitely be even stronger.
The limitations of this bloodline technique are also great. First, one must possess the power of the bloodline, and secondly, the power of the bloodline must be water-attribute.
The Tianbao Pavilion had never auctioned off such a treasure before, and it was only because this time there were many outstanding individuals from Langyue Country that they would bring out high-end items.
"No matter who wins the 'Nine You Ice Heaven Secret', it is absolutely not allowed to resell, otherwise, it will be my Tianbao Pavilion's enemy, and we will not end until one of us dies!" The auctioneer said in a cold tone.
No one doubted the authenticity of this statement, Tianbao Pavilion indeed had such a strong backing, this powerful force possessed unimaginable strength and wealth that anyone could not imagine, just issuing a huge bounty could make anyone become the target of being hunted down by the whole world.
"Ten thousand low-grade spirit stones as the starting bid!" The auctioneer paused for a moment before continuing.
If it were in Langyue Country, this would definitely be auctioned off with a mid-grade spirit stone as the starting price. But having come to Hanshang Country, they could only settle for second best. Fortunately, all spirit stones are scarce resources and can be made up for with quantity.
"Twenty thousand!"
"Thirty thousand!"
The price immediately skyrocketed, the Bloodline Martial Technique, this has never been heard of before. Even if one is not a water-attribute spirit body and doesn't have bloodline power, can't it be taken for research and collection?
"One hundred thousand!"
"1.2 million!"
After soaring to 100,000 low-grade spirit stones, the number of people calling out prices clearly decreased. After all, if it's just for collection and flipping, this price is too high. The remaining people who are still bidding are naturally those who really need them.
"1.5 million!"
"Fifteen million at once!"
"150,000 twice!"
"Two million!" Zhou Heng finally joined the bidding, his Qinglong bloodline had already reached the Tianling body, and he could even become a ten-star Tianxing body. So, how much power would he be able to exert if he cultivated the Jiuyou Bingtian Jue?
"Two hundred thousand! Someone has bid two hundred thousand! Is there anyone higher?" The auctioneer shouted loudly.
"Huh? Aren't you a dual-element Fire and Gold spirit body? Why would you spend such a large sum of money to buy this 'Nine Underworlds Ice Heaven Scripture'?" asked Xiao Huo Shui, interrupting.
"Are you out of your mind?!" Mei Yixiang rolled her eyes, then put on a cautious expression, "Do you have that many spirit stones? Don't think about not being able to pay and coming to find me, I won't be such a scapegoat!"
"Don't worry, I won't look for you!" Zhou Heng waved his hand.
"Xiao Zhouzi, what do you mean by this? Are you looking down on me?" Mei Yixiang suddenly became angry again.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand!" Zhou Heng added a lower price, then turned back to Mei Yixiang with a smile, without saying a word. It's not good to argue with women, and he couldn't spank Mei Yixiang's butt, so it was better to stay calm and not respond.
"Two hundred and sixty thousand!" Someone in another private room was bidding against Zhou Heng.
"Three hundred thousand!" Zhou Heng didn't bother adding it up bit by bit; to him, spirit stones were just meant to be spent.
"Three hundred and ten thousand!"
"Three hundred and fifty thousand!"
"...... Zhou Heng, you're not a water attribute spirit body, what are you competing with me for!" Someone in the private room next door shouted urgently. The private room where Zhou Heng was located hadn't pulled up its curtains, which was why Ying Feng had run over, and it was precisely because he saw Mei Yixiang.
Zhou Heng couldn't help but laugh and said: "What does it have to do with you whether I bid or not? Too much money is a burden, I just want to stir things up!"
That person was extremely depressed, you have a lot of money and can't find anything else to bid on, why do you have to make things difficult for him? Everyone is competing fairly, he can't stop Zhou Heng from bidding, all he can do is stare angrily.
To spend over 300,000 spirit stones on a martial technique was too extravagant, especially since he didn't even know how much it would increase his combat strength.
"That's also a book to accompany you!" A voice with a hint of arrogance rang out, "Four million!"
That's in response to Icewind!
Zhou Heng sighed, beautiful women were indeed the most dangerous things in this world. He hadn't even touched her yet and already attracted an inexplicable enemy! Just like that person couldn't stop Zhou Heng from bidding, he also couldn't let Ying Feng quit.
Anyway, he has nearly six hundred thousand spirit stones, so be it!
"Four hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Young master, it's not worth spending so many spirit stones on a Bloodline Martial Technique that you won't even use!" said an old man in Ying Feng's private room, who seemed to have dim eyes but had a sharp and discerning gaze.
Ying Feng smiled and said: "Ma Shu, I have a plan in mind, let me make one more offer!"
The old man nodded and stopped talking.
"Five hundred thousand!" Ying Feng provocatively glanced at Zhou Heng.
Five hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones were also a big number for him, but it was worth it to strike a blow in front of Mei Yixiang. In case Zhou Heng raised the price again, he wasn't prepared to add any more, enough to make Zhou Heng bleed.
"Five hundred and fifty thousand!" Zhou Heng said nonchalantly, others simply didn't know that for him, spirit stones were just used to quickly recover his depleted spiritual energy, a few hundred pieces would be enough.
He doesn't care about the Spirit Stone at all.
