Chapter 434 The Kan Family: Hidden Talents
Upon hearing this, Pei Ziyan glanced at the old woman with some confusion, muttering to herself:
What is this talking about?
But in an instant, she realized the old woman's misunderstanding.
But all she wanted was for 'Li Musu' to fall at her feet; there was no romantic love involved.
In her mind, status and power are above all else, and she has always admired the strong.
How could he possibly fall for a heroic young man who is older than him but has a lower level of cultivation?
This is obviously impossible!
Although she had to admit that he was indeed handsome and quite masculine...
------
At that moment, Pei Ziyan looked at the old woman with certainty, her gaze firm and clear, and said:
"You're overthinking it. I have no such thought, and I won't!"
"Everything I have done is for the great cause of the Demonic Sect, in order to better control people's hearts and minds and use them for my own purposes. I have no personal feelings whatsoever."
The old woman immediately breathed a sigh of relief; a huge weight had finally been lifted from her heart.
As long as the saintess doesn't have that intention...
What she feared most was that a holy maiden of a demonic sect would be kidnapped by some country bumpkin; that would be a truly devastating event!
And it would make them a laughingstock among their own kind, turning the Nine Nether Demonic Sect into a laughingstock for the world...
------
And at the same time.
In another quiet and elegant room on the third floor.
The location of the Xuandao Sect.
The atmosphere is quietly heating up.
A middle-aged man with a resolute face and imposing presence entered the room.
He was surrounded by an indescribable, intense power, as if it could burn away all the gloom in the world.
Following closely behind was a handsome young man with an elegant demeanor and striking features, whose extraordinary temperament drew attention.
The two had just stepped into the room.
The twin sisters fluttered towards the young man like butterflies, their eyes sparkling with surprise, and exclaimed in unison:
"Senior Brother Kan, when did you arrive so quietly?"
At the same time, Lu Ningwei's gaze gently fell upon the middle-aged man, a faint smile playing on her lips, and she said softly:
"Senior Brother Kan, you've come too."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was suddenly stunned.
It turns out that the title "Senior Brother Kan" actually refers to two people—
Father and son, both outstanding figures of the Xuandao Sect, lived together.
The young man was none other than Kan Wushuang, the fourth strongest on the list of prodigies, renowned throughout the land.
The middle-aged man was Kan Wushuang's father, Kan Chen, a powerful figure who enjoyed a high reputation both inside and outside the sect.
......
------
Faced with the enthusiasm of the twin sisters.
Kan Wushuang simply nodded indifferently, her expression blank.
They seemed to be used to such scenes, and even somewhat disdainful of them.
He casually found a chair and sat down, as if the whole world had nothing to do with him.
However, this did not deter the twin sisters in the slightest.
They still approached Kan Wushuang with great joy, hoping to exchange a few words with him and shorten the distance between them.
After all, Kan Wushuang's name was renowned throughout the Xuandao Sect, and befriending him would undoubtedly bring them many benefits.
On the other hand, Kan Chen is shrewd and calculating, and well-versed in the ways of human relationships.
He smiled at Lu Ningwei, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, and said:
"Junior Sister Lu, it's been a long time. You've become even younger and more beautiful. May your youth last forever."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ningwei smiled.
Although she didn't speak, the joy shining in her eyes betrayed her feelings.
No woman could resist such praise, especially coming from the mouth of a powerful figure she had long admired.
Seeing this, Kan Chen was secretly pleased and pressed his advantage, saying:
"Junior sister, I have come here today with a request."
"I would like to borrow some Xuanjing (mystic crystals) to strengthen my son's constitution and enhance his strength."
"This celestial beast's leg is a rare treasure. If we can obtain it, it will surely help my son reach new heights."
Lu Ningwei had anticipated this and had her own plans.
She knew that the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus was no longer meant for her, so she might as well go with the flow and do Kan Chen a favor.
So, she nodded in agreement almost without hesitation.
Kan Chen then stayed in the private room with peace of mind.
They joined the others in this fierce bidding process.
......
------
Prices have skyrocketed and are unstoppable.
Soon, it broke through the astonishing barrier of 100,000 top-grade Xuan Crystals like a sharp arrow!
You must know, this is 100,000 top-grade Xuan Crystals, which is far superior to ordinary high-grade Xuan Crystals!
One hundred thousand top-grade Xuan Crystals are equivalent to one hundred million high-grade Xuan Crystals!
That's a huge number that would make countless people envious and go crazy.
However, even though prices have soared to such an astonishing level, they are still far from reaching the financial limits of the major powers or ancient families.
They were like a pack of beasts that had been lying in wait for a long time, and now that they had finally caught the scent of their prey, they bared their sharp fangs.
Without hesitation, they continued to aggressively raise prices!
Its momentum was so great that it seemed it could overturn the entire auction house.
Now it was Li Qingyuan's turn to stare in astonishment.
He originally thought that even though the "Nine Heavens Thunder Scale Beast" was extremely precious and its price would rise rapidly, it wouldn't be this terrifying.
But now it seems that the price trend has somewhat exceeded his expectations.
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly:
They are truly a hidden force, not to be underestimated!
These major powers or ancient families are all incredibly wealthy and have unfathomable resources.
They remained silent and unassuming regarding the treasures that had been auctioned previously, as if none of them were of interest to them.
Now, the grand finale has finally arrived.
They certainly wouldn't let it go easily; they were determined to get it!
The way it looked as if it wanted to take every inch of the "Nine Heavens Thunder Scale Beast's" flesh and blood into its possession.
......
------
Taking advantage of the lull in the fierce bidding, Li Qingyuan quickly calmed down.
He carefully calculated the amount of Xuanjing that his group currently possessed.
Under Su Yaoyue's persistent pleading, coaxing, and whining;
Despite his reluctance, he gritted his teeth again and took out three spatial rings.
Li Qingyuan counted the mystic crystals in each of the spatial rings, and finally came up with a number:
More than 300,000 top-grade Xuan Crystals!
In other words, they currently have over 300,000 top-grade Xuanjing crystals left to use.
However, the first and most important item is the giant leg of the "Nine Heavens Thunder Scale Beast".
The price has already soared past the 100,000 top-grade Xuanjing like a rocket!
And judging from this momentum, there's no sign of it stopping.
This made Li Qingyuan feel uncertain.
He had indeed long coveted the giant leg of the Nine Heavens Thunder Scale Beast, hoping to acquire it to enhance his own strength.
But for now, there are still two ultimate treasures yet to be revealed...
No one knows what kind of rare treasure it might be; it might just be what he truly needs.
After weighing the pros and cons.
Li Qingyuan ultimately decided to hold off for now and stop blindly following the price.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and sat there quietly.
Their eyes were fixed on the auction stage, closely watching every price movement.
Wait and see.
Waiting for a more suitable opportunity.
......
------
On the third floor, in a private room.
Pei Ziyan frowned slightly, a resolute look flashing in her eyes.
She pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised her delicate hand, parted her lips slightly, and through a whispered message, abruptly increased the price to—
"120,000 top-grade Xuan Crystals!"
This move instantly raised the price by a full 20,000 top-grade Xuan Crystals.
That translates to twenty million high-grade Xuan Crystals! Such a massive amount is enough to leave countless people speechless!
Because she communicated via snail shell, the price was quoted on her behalf by Ao Ni Chang.
Therefore, the cultivators below had no way of knowing who was behind the bid.
For a moment, everyone mistakenly thought that the mysterious guy who had bid for the "Blood of the Spirit Rhinoceros" earlier had made a strong move again!
In an instant, the audience erupted in chaos, with a torrent of discussion surging forth.
"Oh dear, that mysterious person has made another move! It seems they're determined to get their hands on the giant leg of the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Scale Beast'!"
A tall, thin cultivator stared wide-eyed, his face filled with astonishment, and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Hmph, who knows if it's him? Maybe someone is deliberately imitating him to disrupt the auction!"
A round-faced cultivator next to him curled his lip and said with a doubtful look.
