Chapter 60
"Seven beautiful girls are only worth two thousand crystals? This price is too cheap! "
"I'm afraid there's something fishy going on with these seven people. Otherwise, how could the Cloud Mist Sect be so kind?"
"Hmph, who cares? This is the black market. We'll run away after buying them. Even if there's danger, who can find us?"
The guests discussed fervently. Very soon, a bidding frenzy was set off!
After all, there were countless desperadoes who came to the black market. Why would they care about the risk? What they cared about was the price-performance ratio.
Not to mention that these seven girls' cultivation levels were not bad among their peers, their figures and looks were enough to make many men's lust swell.
One had to know that they were not ordinary women. They were already very close to becoming cultivators. If they were to be imprisoned as slaves, how could they be the same as ordinary women?
The price suddenly went from 7,555 crystals to 9,555 crystals. The guests were very enthusiastic.
The seven girls on the stage turned pale and trembled in fear. They looked like they wanted to eat them alive.
The more frightened they were, the more excited the guests below the stage became.
"9,055 crystals!"
In the private room, Qian Fengbao could not help but shout.
Elder Wu was right. This was the black market. Who cared about the risks!
"9,355."
The Lan Family Leader also spoke. Since no one had any concerns, why should he worry?
Hearing that everyone was participating in the auction and that the seven girls were being auctioned off like goods, Gu Chen's heart turned cold.
"Her name is Xiao Que, right?"
Gu Chen murmured in his heart as he looked at the helpless girl on the stage.
When these girls went on the stage, he found one of them particularly familiar.
When he heard Elder Wu's explanation of their origins, he was immediately sure that he did not recognize the wrong person!
The girl on the stage was called Xiao Que. She was an inner disciple of the Purple Cloud Sect.
When Gu Chen entered the Forbidden Forest to cultivate, he met the people of the Purple Cloud Sect and the Golden Crow Sect who were plotted against by the white ape.
It was there that he met Lu Yichen and obtained the Cold Star Sword. Back then, this young girl was by Lu Yichen's side and was her Junior Sister.
When she heard Gu Chen's name, she was the first one to recognize him, so Gu Chen had an impression of her.
To think that there were still survivors among the thirteen sects of the Feng Lin Prefecture.
No matter how ruthless the Netherworld God Palace had been, it was impossible for all of them to have been in their respective sects that day. It was normal for some to have slipped through the net.
"We must save them!"
Gu Chen's heart was in turmoil. He had met people he knew in a foreign land, and these people had such a tragic fate because of him. No matter what, he could not sit back and do nothing!
Even if doing so might expose himself and allow the Nether God Palace to discover him, he still had to do it!
Since he was young, his parents had taught him to distinguish right from wrong, to distinguish kindness from hatred. No matter how big the reason was, he could not abandon his principles!
When the bidding price had reached 0,055 yuan, Gu Chen opened his mouth at this time.
"Six thousand yuan crystals!"
He did not have that much money, but even if he had to sell all the elixirs he had bought earlier, even if he had to borrow money from the Huang Clan, he had to save them.
When Gu Chen opened his bid, everyone in the private room immediately looked at him with mocking eyes.
It seemed that this young cultivator was also hot-blooded. For these seven flowers, he did not hesitate to spend a huge amount of money.
Huang Fei's expression became a little unnatural when she heard Gu Chen open his mouth.
Gu Chen was usually cold, and she thought that he was young and did not understand the love between a man and a woman. But it seemed that it was not the case.
Could it be that he only liked younger girls, and she was a little old in his eyes?
Huang Fei did not know what she was thinking.
"Seven thousand yuan crystals!"
Qian Fengbao directly increased the bid by a thousand yuan crystals, and then looked at Gu Chen with a smile.
"I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Chen. I am very interested in these seven girls, so I cannot let you have them."
Gu Chen was expressionless as he directly increased the bid. "Eight thousand yuan crystals!"
This determined look caused everyone to be surprised. This Huang Clan's consecrator was so young, how could he take out so many yuan crystals?
Qian Fengbao's expression turned cold. It seemed that this Huang Clan's new consecrator was going to go against him.
Fine, he came here today with the intention of testing this Chen Gu.
"Ten thousand yuan crystals!"
He directly raised the bid to ten thousand. Even as the Qian Clan's Clan Head, this amount of money was very shocking. It was enough to buy a few good magic treasures.
The guests in the hall immediately shut their mouths, and no one continued to raise the bid.
To put it bluntly, the reason why many people wanted to auction was because of the dirty thoughts in their hearts.
It was not worth it to spend so much money for such trivial matters between a man and a woman.
As for taking these girls in and nurturing them, there were countless desperadoes present, so where would they have the time and energy to do so?
"Fellow Daoist Chen, how about it, do you want to follow?"
After Qian Fengbao raised the bid, he looked at Gu Chen provocatively.
This was a test. He wanted to know how strong the Huang Clan's consecrator was. Wealth was also a standard to measure a cultivator's strength.
He made up his mind. If the other party continued to raise the bid, he would follow.
If he still wanted to follow, then he would let him have it.
At that time, the price would definitely exceed the actual value of the seven girls. It was worth it to be able to trick the Huang Clan's consecrator.
Gu Chen stared at Qian Fengbao. He could feel the ridicule in Qian Fengbao's eyes, and his heart was incomparably angry.
Qian Fengbao was clearly provoking him. Maybe he had the intention to compete with the Huang Clan.
Ten thousand yuan crystals was a sky-high price to him. Even if he bought it, he wouldn't be able to pay the Smoke Cloud Sect at that time.
The Huang Clan would give him a monthly allowance in advance on account of his face, but if the amount was too much, it would definitely be impossible.
Many thoughts flashed through Gu Chen's mind, and he rapidly calmed down.
The seven survivors of the calamity in the Feng Lin Manor had greatly agitated him, causing the emotions he had suppressed for many days to almost explode.
However, a lack of forbearance in small matters would spoil great plans. No matter how one looked at it, there was no meaning in going against this fellow now.
Gu Chen's emotions gradually calmed down. In reality, this only took a short while. He still looked as expressionless as before.
"Since Clan Head Qian wants it so much, I will let you have it."
After he finished speaking, he let out a rare smile.
In the eyes of the crowd, this instantly became a sign of weakness.
"Haha, thank you for letting me win, thank you for letting me win."
Qian Fengbao put on a fake smile, and a look of disdain could be seen in the depths of his eyes.
It seemed like the Huang Clan's consecrator wasn't that great after all!
No one competed with Qian Fengbao anymore. The emcee on the stage finally announced that the seven girls had been decided.
Everyone in the private room congratulated the Qian Clan's Clan Head. Gu Chen also revealed a rare smile and asked casually.
"Clan Head Qian, I wonder what you intend to do with these seven girls?"
Qian Fengbao instantly cast a playful look at him. "Could it be that Daoist Chen is still thinking about them?"
