Little Junior Sister, We Can’t Handle This Grind Anymore - Chapter 62

Only the complete “God-Slaying Art” could be practiced without risking Qi Deviation.

The upper realm only knew about the power of the mastered “God-Slaying Art,” but they didn’t know that only those with the Five Element Spiritual Roots and a Seven-Apertures Exquisite Heart could truly cultivate it to the ninth level.

When Ye Wentian heard Mo Jinghong’s words, his entire aura shifted. A powerful pressure spread out.

Instantly, the entire auction hall fell silent. No one dared to bid anymore.

Ye Wentian also realized this. His resonant voice spread throughout the auction hall, “Everyone, please continue. I just wanted to remind everyone to keep your tempers in check and bid harmoniously. After all, the one who takes the sword manual won’t be the loudest, but the one with the highest bid!”

…

After a moment of silence, the bidding resumed.
This time, everyone’s voices seemed much less aggressive.

Meanwhile, Ye Wentian, having just flaunted his power, stared at Mo Jinghong and suddenly clasped his hands together. “Jinghong, please help your master! If you don’t help me, I’ll have no choice but to… but to take out a high-interest loan!”

Ye Wentian inwardly lamented. If only he had drunk less wine and saved more spirit stones…
Thinking of this, he felt even worse. Even if he had saved more, it still wouldn’t be enough!

Mo Jinghong showed no sympathy for Ye Wentian’s pitiful act. He said calmly, “Master, feel free to borrow. I’m sure the Shumo Pavilion would be willing to lend to you. But remember, you cannot use the Lingyun Sect’s name.”

Ye Wentian: …

Mo Jinghong was truly immune to both soft and hard tactics!

“Jinghong, I’m begging you!” Ye Wentian looked at Feng Qingran, pulled her over, and said, “Little disciple, quick, help me. Jinghong will definitely listen to you.”

Feng Qingran, who had been wholeheartedly enjoying the show: ???
She really wanted to say: Master, how about I lend it to you instead.

A deep, unfathomable light passed through Mo Jinghong’s dark eyes. “Master, do you really think I can come up with ‘five hundred million top-grade spirit stones’?”

“What! Five hundred million? Have these people lost their minds?” Ye Wentian’s attention shifted as he realized the bidding had already reached ‘five hundred and ten million’.

Mo Jinghong and Feng Qingran exchanged a glance, both shaking their heads.

“Master, that last bid was from Sect Leader Rong of the Beast Taming Sect,” Mo Jinghong kindly reminded him.

“Holy crap!” Ye Wentian’s face was full of shock. Among the four great sects, the Beast Taming Sect was the poorest…
How could the Beast Taming Sect possibly come up with so many spirit stones?
It must be ill-gotten gains!

Ye Wentian sheepishly rubbed his nose. “Jinghong, we can’t compare with them. Our sect is small.”

Mo Jinghong continued, “The bid of ‘five hundred and ten million and one hundred thousand’ came from the Luo Family Ancestor. Their family’s foundation is passable.”
“And the bid of ‘five hundred and ten million and one hundred and ten thousand’ is from the Liu Family Ancestor. The Liu family is a lower-tier family…”

The more Mo Jinghong spoke, the more embarrassed Ye Wentian became.

Ye Wentian stood up and walked out. This “Heavenly Might Nine Swords” wasn’t for him anyway. The second volume, “Nine Heavens Mystical Fire,” hadn’t even surfaced yet!
When the second volume appears, he would find a way to buy both together then.
And if he really didn’t have enough spirit stones at that time?

Ye Wentian glanced back at Mo Jinghong and Feng Qingran. He could just send these two to settle the debt.
Both of them possessed peerless, stunning beauty. It would be a waste not to make use of it!

His mind made up, Ye Wentian stopped agonizing. He decided to leave as soon as he finished maintaining order.

Ye Wentian hadn’t taken more than a few steps out the door when Mo Jinghong’s cool voice reached his ears. “Master, remember to return to Lingyun Sect.”

After Ye Wentian left, Feng Qingran sat back down. “Seventh Senior Brother, why do I feel like Master’s last glance was… ill-intentioned?”
It was a good thing Master had an aura of righteousness. If that look appeared on anyone else…

“Indeed.” A fleeting, profound light passed through Mo Jinghong’s eyes as he poured Feng Qingran a cup of tea.
The Heavenly Emperor’s hidden piece had appeared – the Hu Family of Casting City. It seemed the second volume of the “God-Slaying Art” was also in the Hu Family’s hands.
He had started suspecting the Hu family ever since he saw Hu Yunxiang’s Snake-Brow Copper Fish.

At this moment —

Number 63: “Five hundred and thirty million!”

“Seventh Senior Brother, this is the Hu family you mentioned, right? The accumulated wealth of a minor family actually rivals the four great sects!” Feng Qingran exclaimed in amazement.

The three great clans – the Luo, Sheng, and Liu families – had already stopped competing with the sects.
Only this Hu family showed no intention of stopping.

Meanwhile —

In Room 63, the Hu Family Ancestor reached out and snatched the Snake-Brow Copper Fish pendant from Hu Yunxiang’s neck. “Take this to the Qinghe Lodge and exchange it for more spirit stones. Six hundred million probably won’t be enough to secure it.”

“Ancestor, our family cannot hold onto this half-step immortal rank technique even if we get it. It will only bring about disaster and the destruction of our clan. Shouldn’t we just let it go?” The Hu Family Head took the pendant, his brow furrowed tightly.

Hu Yunxiang stared longingly at the jade pendant. He was unwilling too, but he had no place to interject here.

The pressure emanating from the Hu Family Ancestor intensified, his face icy. “If you no longer wish to be Family Head, we can replace you!”

Fear flashed across the Family Head’s face. He bowed. “I apologize, Ancestor. I will go immediately.”

“Wait.” The Hu Family Ancestor handed a small porcelain bottle to the Family Head. “If the manager of Qinghe Lodge is unwilling to exchange, drip the blood inside this bottle onto the jade pendant.”

The Family Head nodded and left. At the same time, not only the Hu family but multiple other forces also dispatched people.
