Chapter 1130

With that, Wang Baihe and Zhao Beiyi both burst out in mocking laughter.

Even Housekeeper Wu and the Four Demons of Yuanxin seemed puzzled, unsure where Qin Qi got his confidence and nerve.

After all, in terms of foundation, even their own Palace Master Yan Shuiming couldn’t begin to compare with the Xuan Yi Sect.

In the end, why do evil cultivators always have to stay in the shadows?

It’s really just because they lack enough power.

No matter how formidable Yan Shuiming is, she’s only one person. The Xuan Yi Sect has more than one Nascent Soul Stage expert.

"Five?"

Zhao Beiyi spoke coldly, "Master cares so much about you, I thought you’d have real skills. Turns out, you’re just a loudmouth kid who talks big!"

"Do you have any idea what the price is for spirit plants over a hundred years old on the open market? Other than our Xuan Yi Sect, in the entire Northwest Region, there’s not another force that could bring out five at once!"

"And you, a mere Core Formation Stage cultivator, backed by Primordial Heart Palace, really think these five hundred-year spirit plants are cabbages?"

Housekeeper Wu chimed in, "Young Master, mind your words! Even Lady Yan Shuiming might not be able to produce five hundred-year spirit plants!"

Qin Qi smiled, "Housekeeper Wu, haven’t I already told you? You don’t need to worry about this, I’ll handle it myself!"

After speaking, he looked at Housekeeper Wu.

And calmly said, "I’ll bid six hundred-year-old spirit plants!"

Venerable Yunxiu’s face was full of disbelief, "Kid, I can’t just take your word for it and believe you really have six of them, can I?"

Wang Baihe sneered, "Kid, do you know what it means to speak nonsense in front of a Nascent Soul Stage expert?"

Qin Qi replied, unhurried, "Relax, I’m not nearly as shameless as your Xuan Yi Sect."

With that, he directly opened his storage pouch, flipped his wrist, and—like performing a magic trick—produced six hundred-year-old spirit plants!

The moment those six spirit plants appeared—

The whole place went dead silent.

Housekeeper Wu and the Four Demons of Yuanxin looked at each other, all of them shaken to their core.

Wang Baihe and Zhao Beiyi both sucked in a sharp breath.

"How... how is this possible!" Wang Baihe’s face was strained, looking extremely ugly.

Venerable Yunxiu was equally shocked, eyeing the spirit plants and sighing, "Oh? Not only are these spirit plants truly over a hundred years old, but their quality is extremely pure. Compared to Brother Wang’s spirit plants, in terms of sheer quality, these are definitely better, not worse!"

"If the quantity is the same—hehe—Brother Wang, I’d choose Qin Qi’s little friend’s plants any day, and never yours!"

-Wang Baihe cursed to himself, damn old fox.

The meaning behind this old bastard’s words couldn’t be clearer.

Unless he brought out an even greater quantity, forget about it!

But he had seen the spirit plants Qin Qi pulled out and knew they really were a bit superior in quality to his own, so his face grew even uglier.

Zhao Beiyi was visibly panicked, "Master, the Heavenly Evolution Beast blood is really important for me, we—we can’t..."

Wang Baihe waved his hand, "I know. It’s just six spirit plants over a hundred years. I’ll bid seven!"

"Oh?" Venerable Yunxiu was grinning from ear to ear.

The beast blood was precious, but trading five or six hundred-year-old spirit plants was already reaching the limit.

Who would’ve thought it’d go up to seven?

But just as he finished—

Qin Qi’s lazy voice rang out again: "Then I’ll bid seven as well!"

Wang Baihe was stunned.

"Qin Qi, you—!!"

"What?"

Qin Qi stood with his hands behind his back, not afraid at all, "Elder Wang, Venerable Yunxiu already said, the highest bidder gets it. Are you Xuan Yi Sect really so upset when you’re outbid?"

"Besides, isn’t your Xuan Yi Sect supposed to be so rich that there’s no second rival in the Northwest Region? How come, just seven hundred-year-old spirit plants, and it hurts you this much?"

Wang Baihe clenched his teeth, sweating bullets inside.

His eyes turned red, rage boiling over—he felt like killing someone.

If he was bidding against another Nascent Soul Stage expert, losing wouldn’t matter. But his opponent was just a Core Formation Stage cultivator—a junior who was just at the Foundation Establishment Stage not long ago!

He was actually the first one to feel the pain in this bidding war!

"I bid... eight!!" Wang Baihe practically hissing the words through gritted teeth.

But right after, Qin Qi said leisurely, "Alright then, I’ll bid eight as well!"

With that, every single person felt waves of shock.

Where on earth did Qin Qi get so many spirit plants?

"Qin Qi, just where did you get so many spirit plants?" Wang Baihe growled, grinding his teeth.

Qin Qi chuckled, "I don’t see any reason I should explain myself to Elder Wang, do I?"

No wonder Wang Baihe had no idea.

Though everyone knew the Land of Overflowing Spirits was full of treasures and held quite a few hundred-year-old spirit plants—

No one realized that almost half the hundred-year spirit plants in that land ended up in Qin Qi’s pocket.

Venerable Yunxiu was at his happiest, "Brother Wang, if you can’t bid more, then the Heavenly Evolution Beast blood can only go to Qin Qi!"

Right now, his eyes were locked on the spirit plants, unable to look away.

Wang Baihe said nothing.

Zhao Beiyi, tense with worry, "Master..."

Wang Baihe took a deep breath, "Qin Qi, what do you want the Heavenly Evolution Beast’s blood for?"

"Nothing much, just want to annoy you. Is that a problem?" Qin Qi said bluntly.

"You—!!" Wang Baihe was furious, beyond control.

Venerable Yunxiu’s pressure radiated faintly, "Brother Wang, don’t forget, this is my Yunxiu territory!"

Wang Baihe was practically bristling with rage, but could only push his temper down, taking a deep breath, "Fine, Qin Qi, you win. Today, I admit defeat—but the future is long, I’ll have plenty of time to play with you!"

"Ah? That’s great! I was just bored and needed someone to play with. If you two want to keep me company, then I finally have something to pass the time!" Qin Qi grinned wide.

Wang Baihe was so furious he almost coughed up blood.

Zhao Beiyi still refused to give up, "Master, can’t—can’t you throw in one more? If I could refine the beast blood..."

"Shut up!" Wang Baihe roared.

Never mind whether he actually had one more hundred-year-old spirit plant.

Even if he did, trading so many for the Heavenly Evolution Beast’s blood would be a guaranteed loss.

Besides, didn’t this idiot notice how calm Qin Qi was? This kid, forget eight, he looked like he could pull out eighteen without breaking a sweat!
