Chapter 647: Plot

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

The bustling went on for the time for one incense stick to burn. As only two items were to be auctioned and it was two hours away from nightfall, Evil Punisher was not in a hurry so he didn't rush the Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior to make another offer.

Evil Punisher and the other monks must have sensed that Prajna was with Lu Li but they pretended otherwise. It battled Lu Li that nobody from the Great Buddhist Temple seemed to mind her.

Prajna should enjoy a high status at the Great Buddhist Temple. Why did nobody care that she was staying with a stranger? Were they not afraid that he would hurt her?

The Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior gave Gu Min a domineering look, trying to tell Gu Min to back off. However, being Lu Ling's slave, Gu Min would listen to Lu Li's orders and would not give up to intimidation.

After the Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior thought about it for a bit, he said,

"Master Evil Punisher, I doubt he has 1100 million Purple Xuan Crystals. I want you to send a man to check.

"

This was a normal procedure that was seen at all auctions. If it were Ye Luo, he could make an offer of five billion and nobody would have any doubts. He could afford that.

But the Gu Family was too small. How could a fifth rank family have so many Xuan Crystals? Many people were doubting that Gu Min was here to create disturbance.

Evil Punisher looked at a white-eyebrow monk off stage who walked toward Gu Min. Gu Min showed the monk into the private room.

Lu Li put the two Interspatial Rings he had ready on the table. The white-eyebrow monk inspected with psychic power. Then he walked out and said,

"The offer is effective.

"

"What~

"

From south came all kinds of noises. The Gu Family had made a name for itself. At least…it was already a headline that a small Gu Family could have so many Purple Xuan Crystals and was bold enough to go against a seventh rank family.

The Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm took great effort to make up his mind and said,

"Then I will add another 10 million!

"

This time, it was Lu Li that was having doubts. Seventh rank families could be rich and if such a family had had a history of thousands of years, they could afford more than a billion Purple Xuan Crystals.

But he could tell that the Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior was struggling when they made an offer of 400 or 500 million. How could they make such stunningly high offer now?

Lu Li didn't ask the Great Buddhist Temple to inspect right away. Instead, he looked at Gu Min who walked out without any hesitation and said,

"1.2 billion!

"

Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior said instantly as well,

"Add by 10 million!

"

Gu Min turned back to look at Lu Li who nodded. Gu Min shouted,

"1.4 billion!

"

Lu Li had 1.6 billion right now. Now that the Bi Family would not let go, Lu Li would have to go down the road with them and increase the offer to 1.6 billion.

Lu Li had no regard for Xuan Crystals all along. They were merely worldly possessions. Bai Qiuxue's life was what important to him. He could trade it for all his wealth and he wouldn't hesitate.

Therefore, Lu Li would not shy away from making high offers. He wanted the Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior to lose all hopes, make him lose all courage to make any more offers or push them till they had no more Xuan Crystals.

"1.5 billion!

"

The Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior seemed to be infuriated. He stood up and yelled in anger,

"1.5 billion!

"

Lu Li was pissed off as well. He nodded again. Gu Min felt no pressure and made an offer of 1.6 billion right away.

Lu Li was burning with rage. He glared at the Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior. If he made more offers, Lu Li would not have more Xuan Crystals to outbid him. Ye Luo must be doing his best to lend Lu Li one billion. He could not have too many Xuan Crystals with him and the Ye Family would not allow him to lend to Lu Li with no limits…

"Two billion!

"

The Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior gave a whooping price. This time, the offer was not received with noise and discussion. It was silence.

Many were still stunned by the rounds of offers and price increases between Gu Min and the Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior. The price of two billion shocked many.

"They are nuts…

"

"Two billion Purple Xuan Crystals. Good heavens. They are not far away from buying a Quasi Relic.

"

"It is so worth it today. Afterwards, the Gu Family and the Bi Family will both be famous at the Great Land.

"

After the short period of silence, people began to break into loud reactions. Many considered that the Bodhi Fruit would be worth of 600 or 700 million Purple Xuan Crystals. Now the offers were three times as much. How madly it was?

Lu Li was standing, nervously. But now he fell to his chair, frustrated. It could be years before another Bodhi Fruit was harvested. He was miserable to see this one falling into other's hands.

"Something is off~

"

A glint of coldness flashed through the eyes of the patriarch of the Gu Family. He walked out, pointed at the Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior and said,

"We suspect that he doesn't have so many Xuan Crystals. Please send someone to check.

"

"Right!

"

Lu Li's eyes were shining. How could a seventh rank family afford two billion Purple Xuan Crystals? Lu Li stood up suddenly, walked out and looked at Evil Punisher and the white-eyebrow monk.

Now that someone was having doubts, they must go and check. Evil Punisher gave the white-eyebrow old monk who kicked on the ground with one leg and flew to a lotus seat.

"Eh…

"

The Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior appeared to be embarrassed. The white-eyebrow old monk put up a Zen gesture and said,

"Alms Giver Bi, please forgive me. Now take out your Xuan Crystals so I can check and make sure that the offer is valid.

"

"Okay!

"

Noticing the uneasiness of the Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior, Lu Li was uplifted and his eyes were glowing. The Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior had made an offer in anger. Chances were that he had no such amount of Xuan Crystals. If he couldn't produce so many Xuan Crystals, then Lu Li's offer would be the highest.

"Alms Giver Bi, please cooperate!

"

Seeing that the Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior didn't intend to take out the Interspatial Ring with Xuan Crystals, the white-eyebrow old monk stressed again. Many guests sitting on the south stood up, debating and discussing. If the Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior could not present Xuan Crystals, then it would become a huge joke…

The Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior bit his lips. He took out an Interspatial Ring with Xuan Crystals and said,

"There are 1.5 billion in here. About the rest 500 million, I, I…

"

"Um…

"

It was received by a huge reaction. The Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior really could not afford so many Xuan Crystals. How could he make such a high offer then? He was making a mess. Would the Great Buddhist Temple sent someone to smack him to death?

"The rest…

"

Suddenly, a cold voice was heard from a lotus seat covered in shield,

"The rest 500 million will be offered by us!

"

Many looked over, only to be baffled. It was a seventh rank family and once a famous one. It was the Yan Family, which used to be an eighth rank one. After they declined, they had been relying on the Hades Society.

The family had been in a low key and never spoke today. What was more, their territory was at the northeast Central Plains whereas the Bi Family was at the southeast. How could the two families be related?

"Hades Society? It is…Yang Xuan!

"

The patriarch of the Gu Family offered some explanation to Lu Li. The latter thought about it and strong killing intent began to fill him. If Lu Li hadn't understood, then he would be thick-headed.

This was a plot!

A plot against him. His identity was revealed and the Bi Family was just a chess piece. It could be possible that…the more than one billion Purple Xuan Crystals the Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm were put together by Ji Mengtian, Yang Xuan and Lu Suan. The intention was to stop Lu Li from getting the Bodhi Fruit!

Revenge!

Ji Mengtian, Yang Xuan and Lu Suan were trying to get back at Lu Li. It was not proper for them to do it themselves so they sent Bi Family as their delegate.

Or…

They might threaten Lu Li after they had acquired the Bodhi Fruit. They might be preparing for a bigger trap, one that would make Lu Li die like a dog.
