AST 2345 - Fifth Young Master of Bailan City 

This Divine Weapon Stone was very big and most importantly, the quality was good . It was natural that Qing Shui wanted it too . In just a while, the price became 12 million .

“13 million!” Fifth Young Master spoke again this time .

Nobody said a word this time . While the Divine Weapon Stone was nice, the failure rate was too high . Once failed, the weapon or armor would be lost . A bad item needed not to be upgraded and a good item one could not bear to lose .

The Divine Weapon Stone was of little value but with a high failure rate . There were still some items that could increase the success rate . Once succeeding, it could bring the weapon or armor to another level . That one level was very crucial .

Hence, some people would fight for it . There were many who could afford it, but many of them stopped offering when the Fifth Young Master spoke again . Now that many were aware that the Fifth Young Master was annoyed, they reckoned they would be hated by the Fifth Young Master if he lost in the bidding again .

The Fifth Young Master of the Dukes which belonged the largest force in Bailan City . Hence, many people gave up since there was no need to offend him just for a Divine Weapon Stone .

“13 million once, 13 million twice, 13 million……”

“20 million!” At that time, Qing Shui spoke again, helplessly .

This time, a lot of the audience appeared interested . It was fair to have an unbiased competition here . One should not oppress others with his identity . Otherwise, how could the auction go on? No one would bring his items for auction here again if it were so . It would be better to just sell it with the starting price .

Usually, when a big shot wanted something, they would come to the auction . Many people were wary of their identities, but they would offer reasonable prices directly . Hence, the rest would not continue bidding and the seller would not suffer any loss . That showed the manner of the big shot as well .

Hearing Qing Shui speak, people felt that he was here to disgrace the Fifth Young Master . The first time could be a coincidence, but this time, Qing Shui remained silent initially . Later on, nobody else was competing but he spoke out . Besides, he gave a big sum of money that had surpassed the Fifth Young Master’s offer greatly .

The Fifth Young Master was in deep grief . Did he lack any money? Uncontrollable anger arose as he redirected his evil eyes towards Qing Shui . The Fifth Young Master was the popular man in Bailan City . It was unknown why he did not head to the room but occupied a small piece of land to show his precious status .

At that moment, many people noticed his angry face which was disfigured . This was a shameful moment . He had never been humiliated like this before .

“20 million once, 20 million twice, 20 million……”

“40 million!” The Fifth Young Master said just before the bid ended .

This time, everyone could see that the Fifth Young Master wanted to fight for his dignity . In fact, he thought the price would not exceed 20 million . Now, he couldn't care less . He would be depressed if he did not win against this man .

Qing Shui frowned . It was upsetting to meet a situation like this . The Fifth Young Master was probably insane . Even if Qing Shui increased the price by another 20 million, the opponent probably would still not give up easily . It was pointless then .

Still, Qing Shui wanted this Divine Weapon Stone a lot . Though he was unsure of the number of Divine Weapon Crystals he could use, around 200 of them should be fine judging from its size .

However, since he met someone crazy, Qing Shui definitely did not want to follow the insanity . He remained quiet upon hearing the Fifth Young Master .

“40 million once, 40 million twice, 40 million thrice! Congratulations to this gentleman for winning the Divine Weapon Stone . ”

The Fifth Young Master obtained the Divine Weapon Stone but he could not sense the slightest joy . He kept feeling uneasy . It was as if he had swallowed a frog . He kept silent with a cold face .

The next item was revealed . It was something even more depressing to the Fifth Young Master . This was another Divine Weapon Stone and it was one and a half times bigger than the previous one…

“This is a larger Divine Weapon Stone than the previous one, starting at 10 million, each increment should not be less than 1 million . The bid begins now!” The old auctioneer said .

“11 million!” Qing Shui said softly .

Many people backed off as Qing Shui spoke . This man had competed with the Fifth Young Master . Still, there were people who went for it .

“15 million!”

The previous one was about 15 million at its normal price then this one should be around 30 million at its normal price .

The previous one was sold at 40 million to the Fifth Young Master . In that case, this one would probably be around 70 million . Of course, the previous one was a special case, not meant to be used for a rough price estimation .

“30 million!” Qing Shui said once again .

“40 million!” The Fifth Young Master said at the moment .

“50 million! If someone offers a higher price, I will concede . ” Qing Shui said with a smile .

However, nobody said a single word . The Fifth Young Master did not want it even for 40 million . He only wanted to annoy Qing Shui .

Qing Shui did not care about the price . He could sell some Constitution Nurturing pills in the worst scenario . Hence, 50 million was not considered expensive .

There were a few good items next, two of them were weapons with the price of more than 100 million . There were many wealthy men in this Bailan City apparently . Still, the price was worth paying for . It could increase a lot of battle strength after getting the items .

The Divine Weapon Stone that Qing Shui got could use 300 Divine Weapon Crystals, it was good . However, he had no Divine Square Cauldron so he could not upgrade the realm of Divine Weapon Flying Sword at present .

Qing Shui stopped getting other items after that and the auction soon was finished . After checking out, he left the auction house and headed to the nearby resthouse . He was going to stay overnight here . Perhaps he would stay in this Bailan City for several days .

Before Qing Shui reached the resthouse, he was stopped by a few men .

“Brother, you're not bad . Nobody has ever bullied me, Lan Xi, like this . Why did you go against me?”

The one who stopped Qing Shui was the Fifth Young Master, who was staring daggers at Qing Shui now . Qing Shui thought the Fifth Young Master was good-looking and bright when they first met . Although he looked slightly lusty, it stopped right there and Qing Shui did not feel bad about him . Yet, now that Qing Shui took a good look at his eyes, Qing Shui realized that he was too narrow-minded and could not go far .

“The auction house did the auction fair and square . If the others are forbidden to bid once somebody asks for it, what is the meaning of an auction? Besides, why would I go against you? Who are you anyway? I don't even know you . ” Qing Shui asked in return .

Qing Shui's statement was obvious, implying that the Fifth Young Master was nothing and Qing Shui had no reason to fight with him . Qing Shui did not say it clearly but that was what he implied .

The Fifth Young Master’s eyes became more gruesome, “Nobody has ever been so gullible in Bailan City . ”

Qing Shui smirked, “There will be people like you everywhere . Well of course, life will be tasteless without people like you . You're descendants of the Duke, right?”

The Fifth Young Master was about to get angry, but he said, “Yes . Why, are you afraid? It's too late now!”

“Hah, so sad . If there's no Dukedom, what would you be in Bailan City? Have you thought about it?” Qing Shui said with a smile .

“This is none of your business and your assumption is nonsense . Luck is also a strength . It is my strength to be born as a descendant of the Duke . Haven't you heard that some people are born to own more than what a lot of men struggle their entire lives to get? It is useless to envy or get jealous . ” The Fifth Young Master added in disdain .
