Chapter 182: Icesnow Fruit

"Are you looking to die?" Wen Jinrui's face darkened .

Despite his anger, he did not do anything . He was clear that the moment he attacked, the Cloud Margin Forging Pavilion people would be dissatisfied with him . At that time, the Wen Clan would suffer even more .

Of course, part of the reason Wen Jinrui was able to hold himself back was due to the mask covering Xiang Shaoyun's real appearance . If he saw Xiang Shaoyun's real face, he would most likely lose control over himself and proceed to attack .

"Hehe, sure, try and attack me . Let's see who will be the one to die," Xiang Shaoyun sneered .

"You're cocky, but I refuse to believe you will stay in the city forever . The moment you leave the city, killing you will be as easy as killing a bug," said Wen Jinrui .

"If you are done talking, piss off," Xiang Shaoyun shouted .

Traces of the tiger's roar were mixed within his shout . In such a short distance, the Wen Clan brothers felt their eardrums humming from the impact . Taking advantage of their momentary stun, Xiang Shaoyun entered the auction hall with Mo Mo .

When the Wen Clan brothers recovered, they both stared at Xiang Shaoyun hatefully . They really wanted to kill him .  

As for Xiang Shaoyun, he tried looking for a VIP room after entering . Unfortunately, the rooms had all been booked . Thus, he was forced to squeeze with the crowd in the main hall .

I have to show myself in front of everyone here? This is annoying! Xiang Shaoyun sat down and grumbled inwardly .

He was worried that if he did manage to buy an item of extreme cold, it would be hard for him to even leave . A lot of people would love nothing more than to reap without sowing . But now, he had no choice but to act in accordance with the circumstances . In any case, he had the human skin mask . He could take the mask off and appear with a new identity anytime he wanted .

Soon, the auction house was filled with people . An auctioneer walked onto the stage and announced the start of the auction . They started the auction with some tier-3 weapons . Sabers, swords, spears . . . the weapons were taken out one after another . The crowd's excitement grew as the auction proceeded .

Xiang Shaoyun did not care about these weapons, but that did not apply to many people there . Even Mo Mo was growing excited when she saw the weapons, and it was especially true when she saw a female-styled longsword being put up for auction . She liked the sword she saw a lot, to the point she had the urge to start bidding as well .

She was once the second head of the Redwolf Bandits . Thus, she was also quite wealthy and could afford to join the bidding, but she couldn't bring herself to do it with Xiang Shaoyun keeping silent beside her .

Xiang Shaoyun noticed and said, "If anything catches your eyes, feel free to bid . I'm not a cruel leader who gives my followers zero freedom . "

Mo Mo was overjoyed . "Thank you, young master . "

Thus, she started bidding . Unfortunately, the people of Cloud Margin Pavilion were too rich . She was soon outbid . She sank into sorrow at the realization that after being a bandit for so many years, she couldn't even afford a sword . It was too sad .

"520 low-grade spirit crystals going once! Any new bids?" the auctioneer asked .

"520 low-grade spirit crystals going twice . . . "

Xiang Shaoyun shot the hesitating Mo Mo a glance before saying, "600 low-grade spirit crystals . " 

The increment was too large . Thus, the other bidders all gave up . After all, a tier-3 weapon would generally not be worth more than 500 low-grade spirit crystals . Paying 100 low-grade spirit crystals above the market price was not worth it for many people .

After winning the bid, Xiang Shaoyun asked Mo Mo, "You don't even have a few hundred low-grade spirit crystals? What kind of second head were you?"

Mo Mo blushed and said, "I gave some of my wealth away when disbanding the brothers . "

That answered Xiang Shaoyun's question .

"Um, you did well," he praised . After a slight pause, he added, "Feel free to bid for anything that catches your eyes later . I am not one to let my followers down . "

Mo Mo was overjoyed . "Thank you, young master . "

Soon after, the herb auction segment arrived . The herbs being auctioned were spirit medicines of at least mid-grade and above, with a majority of them being top-grade spirit medicines . Then, an icesnow fruit appeared, causing a large uproar among the crowd .

"This particular icesnow fruit is 500 years old, a top-grade spirit fruit of excellent quality . For those cultivating the power of frost, this fruit will be very helpful . At the same time, it can create frost energy, granting one resistance against regular flames . The starting price of this fruit is 300 low-grade spirit crystals . Each increment can be no lower than 10 low-grade spirit crystals," said the auctioneer .

Lying quietly in a jade case with frost energy rippling out of it repeatedly, the icesnow fruit looked incredibly tantalizing .

"This icesnow fruit is mine! 400 low-grade spirit crystals!" someone immediately placed his bid .

"Dream on . I bid 450 low-grade spirit crystals!"

"I bid 500 low-grade spirit crystals!"

. . .

Instantly, the price soared . Before long, it reached the price of 700 low-grade spirit crystals, far surpassing the price of a regular top-grade spirit medicine .

After all, a regular low-grade spirit medicine was worth only a few low-grade spirit crystals and would not exceed 20 low-grade spirit crystals . As for a mid-grade spirit medicine, it was usually worth between 100 to 200 low-grade spirit crystals, while a top-grade spirit medicine was worth about 300 to 500 spirit crystals . But now, the price offered for this fruit had already surpassed the average price by about 200 low-grade spirit crystals .

At this time, a young man in a flaming red armor shouted, "750 low-grade spirit crystals from me, Xie Sanqian . If everyone can do me a favor and allow me to have this fruit, I will forever remember it . "

He was Xie Sanqian, the young genius who was not willing to miss out on the fruit . A lot of people stopped bidding, not willing to fight over the fruit with him . But Xiang Shaoyun was similarly not willing to miss out on the fruit either . It would never be bad to gather as many items of extreme cold as possible .

Xiang Shaoyun placed his bid indifferently, "1,000 low-grade spirit crystals . " 

As soon as he made his bid, he felt Xie Sanqian's sharp gaze land on him . Xiang Shaoyun met Xie Sanqian's gaze and gave him a completely nonchalant smile . In Xie Sanqian's eyes, that smile was a provocation . Xie Sangqian snorted coldly and increased his bid . Xiang Shaoyun showed no fear and increased his bid as well . This time, he increased it by 100 low-grade spirit crystals, showing a generosity surpassing Xie Sanqian's .

"1,300 low-grade spirit crystals!" Xie Sanqian shouted . This was the most he was willing to pay .

At this point, the price was already slightly over his budget . He still had to save some of his funds for the items that were going to be auctioned next in case something he wanted would appear later .

"1,500 low-grade spirit crystals!" Xiang Shaoyun increased his bid, still as calm as ever, causing many people to look at him in a new light .

"Who is this person exactly? He is showing Xie Sanqian no respect whatsoever . From his looks, he seems extremely wealthy as well . "

"He doesn't look familiar . Is he from out of town? Otherwise, he wouldn't be so stupid as to provoke Xie Sanqian . "

"Maybe he has a backer as well . But it does not matter . When he is in Cloud Margin City, even if he is a dragon or a tiger, he would have to lie down obediently . "

"Just watch on . This is unrelated to us . Although the icesnow fruit is an excellent fruit, it is still not good enough to resist the earthcore fire . "
