My Farming-Style Cultivation Is Way Too Steady - Chapter 548

Chapter 547 Lamb to the Slaughter!

Su Jinli and Yu Shi were both stunned when they heard this, a look of surprise flashing in their eyes.

Although Su Jinli was a woman of few words, she clearly saw what was happening in the room.

Frenzied bidding is a common occurrence among cultivators vying for rare treasures.

The fat monk was generous, at most he was wealthy, and there was really no sign that “something was wrong”.

Yu Shi frowned slightly. Having grown up witnessing the extravagant spending of spirit stones by aristocratic families, he considered the wealth displayed at the fifth-floor auction to be merely a typical high-end event.

What seemed amiss was more like Xu Changqing’s excessive vigilance.

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing the same look of confusion in each other’s eyes.

They were all Earth-grade Golden Core cultivators, and in terms of both spiritual awareness and vision, they should have far surpassed Xu Changqing, who was at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Why was he the first to notice the so-called big problem?

“You…explain yourself clearly!”

“What exactly is going on?”

“What’s the problem?”

After much deliberation, both Su Jinli and Yu Shi chose to inquire via telepathy.

Xu Changqing quickly responded, or rather explained: “The problem lies in the details. You’re used to high-level games, so you haven’t noticed these unusual behaviors…”

First was the fat monk.

The medicinal insects can attract spiritual intelligence, and the Spirit-Suppressing Cauldron can be refined and cast.

The two items seem mismatched, but they are both rare and valuable items. The timing of the purchase was so precise that it didn’t seem like a spur-of-the-moment decision; it seemed like it was premeditated.

What’s even stranger is that they spent over 300,000 yuan without batting an eye, yet showed absolutely no vigilance in protecting the treasure.

The person’s entire behavior seemed like a performance for someone else’s benefit; there’s definitely something fishy going on.

Secondly, there was the bidding for the talisman scriptures.

The first two popular items, the medicinal insect and the spirit-suppressing cauldron, were still being fiercely debated, but the price of this incomplete scroll jumped instantly as soon as it was offered. Everyone who had been silent before suddenly came out, but not a single person asked which part of the scroll was missing or whether the talismans were complete.

When cultivators vie for cultivation techniques, how could they not be serious about it?

What’s more, this is a treasure worth hundreds of thousands of mid-grade spirit stones!

What’s even more suspicious is that they all kept their price increases to the minimum of “ten thousand,” and no one dared to ask for more, as if they had agreed in advance.

This isn’t a treasure hunt; it’s clearly a coordinated effort to drive up the price, just waiting to lure out the sucker who actually wants the item.

I’ve seen similar tactics many times before in the market town for independent cultivators.

Praise to the point of devaluation and price gouging.

He was robbed and killed afterward.

The more wealthy people seem to be engaged in a chaotic brawl, the more wary you should be of a knife in their backside.

It wasn’t that the Wan family was up to something, but rather that these cultivators bidding were too in sync, with some bidding enthusiastically and others bidding slackly, as if they had planned it in advance.

If outsiders don’t understand, staying here will only make them lambs to the slaughter.

After listening to Xu Changqing’s description, Su Jinli’s gaze left Xu Changqing and swept over the crowd in the arena. Her divine sense spread out silently like a fine thread, and she completely became an observer.

Wan Niang maintained her enthusiasm on stage, her gestures and tone were impeccable, and she would even subconsciously glance at the bidders when someone called out a price.

The higher the price, the brighter the smile on their face.

However, a hint of surprise also lingered in his eyes.

This further confirms Xu Changqing’s judgment.

The Wan family itself may not want to break the rules; the problem lies with these guys who are competing.

“Two hundred and sixty thousand!”

“Two hundred and seventy thousand!”

“Three hundred thousand!”

Except for a few people who did not participate, the rest were bidding.

In reality, only a fixed group of people actually bid; the others either joined in to make up the numbers or stopped after bidding. No one dared to really fight the fat cultivator to the death.

Moreover, the fat cultivator, who had already acquired several items, glanced at Xu Changqing and his companions as he bid, as if testing whether they were genuine buyers.

Yu Shi, standing to the side, frowned even more deeply at this moment.

He finally realized that this was no high-level competition at all. On the surface, it was all about vying for power, but in reality, it was all a scheme, far more insidious than the open competition among powerful families.

In other words, if we join in the bidding, we will definitely become lambs to the slaughter.

This group of people is incredibly audacious, acting without any scruples.

However, on the other hand, it fits the style of “not caring about the area”. The order is chaotic, there are no rules, only greedy people.

Therefore, in the following period, Xu Changqing and his two companions simply retreated to the position of bystanders and did not show any intention of bidding.

At first, the fat cultivator and the others would occasionally glance in their direction, testing them with their eyes several times. Seeing that the three of them still had no interest in bidding, they gradually withdrew their gaze and shifted their attention to other eager cultivators.

“We shouldn’t be being watched anymore.”

Xu Changqing glanced at Su Jinli, who still looked aloof, and added, “Yu Shi and I never showed off our wealth from beginning to end, so we don’t look like suckers.”

“The one who’s truly locked down is probably you, Sister Li.”

After all, when Su Jinli bought the ancient alchemist’s handwritten notes and the Water Mirror Jade, her action of taking out spirit stones was swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

With such wealth, they were undoubtedly the most conspicuous target in the eyes of these troublemakers.

Su Jinli said nonchalantly, “Just come on over.”

Unless there is a Nascent Soul stage expert hidden among this group, no matter how many come, they will all die.

She was already at the peak of the Golden Core stage, and was also a Fire Spirit Root cultivator whose combat power was second only to the Gold Spirit Root.

In addition, they have the backing of a celestial sect, use top-tier resources, cultivate complete earth-rank techniques and spells, and even their magical artifacts are of high quality.

To be honest, I can’t figure out how I could lose!

Xu Changqing was taken aback at first, then chuckled and said, “That’s true.”

Su Jinli’s willingness to venture out shows that she has sufficient strength and confidence.

Although these guys in front of her were clearly a group, it would be quite difficult for them to kill a Golden Core stage Immortal Sect disciple like her.

更何况，如今他们已经将注意力都转移到了别人身上。

另一边被胖修士等人紧盯的那几位，才是真正的“待宰羔羊”。

虽然从穿着和气质来看，身份、背景想来不差，可这里是“都不管区域”，没人会在乎这些东西。

面具一戴，谁也不爱。

黑袍一披，生死看淡。

说白了，在这里没有规矩就是最大的规矩。

也不知为什么，被盯上的这几个人，特别想要龙虎符经。

哪怕价格已经来到四十五万，仍然没有放弃的意思。

胖修士陡然喊道：“四十八万！”

这个价格，足够买不少稀罕物了。

比如刚才的上古炼丹师手写笔记，差不多能买近三套。

可话音刚落，不止徐长青等人，其余看戏的人也都被惊到了。

下一秒，另一边的几个人中，忽然走出一位高大男子，往前站了半步，朗声道：“五十万！”

瞬间，整个第五层都安静下来，全都是“嘶”倒吸凉气的声音！
