The Healer Demands Payment!

Chapter 57

The middle-aged man deliberately stayed silent for a while, letting the momentum build among the audience. After half an incense stick of time, he calmly continued: "The sect who sent this jade slip to be auctioned put on an additional term. Any individual cultivator or a sect who buys this jade slip has to make a soul oath. If they managed to break the seal on the jade slip, the knowledge recorded inside had to be shared with the seller."

Loud laughter immediately burst out, full of mockery: "What a good calculation!"

"They cannot break the seal, so they want to exchange it with spirit stones, but still want to own the thing."

"Since they can enter the Starfallen Sea and return intact, they must be from a powerful sect. Yet those old men gathered together to crack the seal on a small jade slip without a result."

"Haha, how ridiculous!"

One by one, people began to ridicule. Although the words were not abusive, it completely destroyed the previous harmonious atmosphere. Meng Qi listened carefully. Most of the ridicules came from the rooms located on the lower side of the valley.

"Why arguing?" Suddenly, the voice of middle-aged male cultivator came from the upper rooms. He slowly said: "It's up to the seller to make the term they wanted, and up to the bidder whether to accept it or not."

"If you have no ability, just shut up." Another voice chimed in. "Why the need to argue noisily?"

"How much is the starting price?" One person asked, "Fellow Daoist Linghu, please continue."

"How much is the starting price?" One person asked, "Fellow Daoist Linghu, please continue."

The middle-aged man on the stage—his name was Linghu Xie—smiled brightly and said: "The starting price stated by the seller is originally two thousand profound-grade spirit stones."

Meng Qi was already numb. Except for her Blazing Feather, the starting price of the items sold in this auction was all in profound-grade level.

"But he just told me, since he makes an additional term for selling this item, the starting price now has been reduced to 200 eighth-grade spirit stones." Linghu Xie looked around with a smile. "And if there is someone who really can crack the seal, he will exchange it with one of the spells he knows."

Another burst of murmur came from the audience.

Meng Qi poured a cup of tea. Such an experienced way to entice the guests, indeed worthy of the name Heaven Auction House. Meng Qi took another bite of the pastry and watched the situation with gusto. From two thousand profound-grade spirit stones to two hundred eighth-grade spirit stones, even she could participate in the bid.

There were endless whispers and murmur in the valley. Unless someone deliberately spoke aloud, Meng Qi couldn't comprehend what they were talking about. She threw another piece of candy into her mouth. The fragrant aroma from the tea filled her mouth, complementing the sweet and sour taste of the green plum candy. It was so refreshing and delicious.

Meng Qi couldn't help but take another look at the boxes of refreshment. Did these pastries and candies come from Beyond The Heaven Restaurant? It's so delicious, she liked it.

Meng Qi reached out to take another plum candy and popped it into her mouth. She didn't expect that the service at Heaven Auction House to be so good. Even the complimentary refreshment was so delicious. The next time she had a chance, she had to go to Beyond The Heaven Restaurant to try the food there.
