    After a stick of incense, Fu Yuanqi stood again on the auction platform:

    A pillar of incense later, Husi Yuanqi stood on the auction stage again:

    "Immediately state that because the previous price was knocked down, you no longer have any interest in the transaction.

    Qia Baichu was taken aback, she didn't understand why Dinghuan was making her say it like that.

    Out of absolute trust in Dinghuan, she immediately said, "Because my price was knocked down just now, and now I have no interest in this transaction either."

    With those words, the entire auction hall became even more noisy and chaotic.

    Husi Yuanqi's voice turned cold, "If everyone treats my World Auction as a joke, my World Auction wouldn't have survived until today. I repeat, are you certain that your current bid can't be fulfilled?"

    What Qia Baichu just said was that she had no interest in the transaction. In Husi Yuanqi's mouth, it turned into being unable to fulfill the promise.

    Qia Baichu received another message from Dinghuan, and she said coldly, "The World Merchant's Association is a well-known name, of course I have heard of it."

    No matter how big the name of the World Merchant's Association is, it cannot deceive me, a cultivator who came to the World Merchant's Association for the auction. tens of thousands of cultivators came here from miles and miles away because they trust the World Merchant's Association.

    Does the World Merchant's Association intend to use our trust as a resource for exploitation?

    These words are not ones that Qia Baichu would say; they are all taught by Dinghuan.

    How has my World Merchant's Association deceived you?" Husi Yuanqi's voice was very cold, and his emotions were calm.

    According to their agreement, that was to first catch Qia Baichu.

    Because the items Qia Baichu bid on were all used to trade for Xianxuan flowers, they can't be presented a second time now.

    Even if the Blue-Faced Fruit of a Thousand Years could be produced again, it's not possible to bring out the Spiritual Blue-Faced Fruit.

    Even if Qia Baichu produced the Billion-Year Sea Jelly and the Spiritual Blue-Faced Fruit, she couldn't produce another hundred jin of sea-bottom green-grade products.

    The chance of producing two such treasures at the same time is extremely small, almost impossible.

    So they calculated that Qia Baichu must at least have one thing, if not all, that she can't produce.

    If Qia Baichu cannot produce the items and has quoted a price, they can justify their capture of Qia Baichu for improper quotation. To be captured for improper quotation at an auction is normal law enforcement.

    Moreover, there's an example before this: wasn't the guy who quoted for the Earth Center Eye recently captured by the World Merchant's Association?

    As long as Qia Baichu is captured, the people who came after her will have to trade with the auction to get her back.

    "In this way, they won't have to spend a single spirit stone to get back the flowers. As for the Nine-Color Eternal Lotus, it's not necessary to put it up for auction yet." Qia Baichu said coldly. "You've captured the guy who made the previous bid. How do I know if you only want his things and are unwilling to give him the Nine-Color Eternal Lotus? Now you're going to catch me in the same way. Haha, this is your style of doing things at the World Merchant's Association?" Qia Baichu imitated Dinghuan's teachings and laughed coldly.

    Husi Yuanqi roared, "My World Merchant's Association has stood in the boundless universe for tens of thousands of years and has never had a single case of cheating our guests. If you can't produce the items, but instead defame my World Merchant's Association here, then I'm sorry. Who said I can't produce the items? A transaction is possible, let's do it openly here so that everyone can see the transaction. I don't want to be taken away as if I have nothing just because I have something." Qia Baichu finished and lifted a ring:

    "Here's where my things are, in this ring. What about your items? Are you still going to take me away and take what's mine?" The ring had a seal on it, and no one knew what was inside.

    Husi Yuanqi raised his hand, and a woman carrying a plate walked towards Ru Baihe. On her plate was an jade box, locked with a seal. Qia Baichu received Dinghuan's voice transmission: "When the woman gets in front of you, make the transaction immediately. Remember to remove the seal on the ring before the transaction." "Comrade cultivator, can we make the transaction now?" The woman said with a smile as she approached Qia Baichu. "Of course, my ring has no seal; everyone can see clearly what's inside." After Qia Baichu finished speaking, she placed her ring on the plate and took away the jade box. Just with one sentence, the thoughts of tens of thousands of cultivators landed on Qia Baichu's ring.

    The ring not only has no seal, but inside it are five billion high-quality spirit stones, a Spiritual Blue-Faced Fruit, three drops of a thousand-year sea essence, and a hundred jin of sea bottom green-grade products. They are neatly arranged and clearly visible.

    Even a practicing cultivator who has reached the foundation realm can see it with a single glance of their divine sense, and the aura of the thousand-year sea essence can also be sensed.

    Qia Baichu remembered Dinghuan's words and activated a teleportation talisman as soon as she got the jade box, teleporting it away.

    Dinghuan opened the jade box immediately as soon as he received the teleportation talisman.

    He couldn't afford to admire the Nine-Color Eternal Lotus filled with Taoist and Daoist aura, so he quickly sent it into his own iron cauldron space. Then he took out a low-grade spirit stone and threw it into the jade box.

    After doing all this, Dinghuan finally began to examine the jade box carefully.

    Husi Yuanqi's face slightly changed, he knew that he had been taken by Qia Baichu.

    It's not that the Nine-Color Eternal Lotus trades these things at a disadvantage, it's because the disadvantage is borne by the flowers, not the Nine-Color Eternal Lotus.

    Since the Nine-Color Eternal Lotus has been traded, the Xianxuan flowers can only be seized by force.

    The dark-faced man from Room 107 was also surprised beyond belief. He never expected Dinghuan's bid to give him one item, but there was another one for himself.

    The wealth is even stronger than his own.

    "Congratulations to this friend for obtaining the Nine-Color Eternal Lotus. The next item up for auction is a half-level divine weapon, the Enchanter's Furnace. This is a divine artifact for alchemists, an absolutely precious treasure." Dinghuan was too lazy to listen to Husi Yuanqi's chatter. His divine sense had just landed on the bottom of the jade box.

    Not only that, but an image crystal ball was activated by him. It's better to keep evidence on oneself, even if it's not needed.

    Before long, the low-grade spirit stone he placed in the jade box was teleported away.

    Dinghuan coldly laughed, "You think you can take advantage of me, Dinghuan? You're just dreaming."

    In the back of the auction hall, Jinlingzi and others looked at the low-grade spirit stone in front of them, their faces extremely ugly.

    It was obvious that their scheme had been uncovered, not only uncovered but also mocked by being sent back a low-grade spirit stone.

    "Damn it, how dare you mess with my World Merchant's Association. If we don't kill this person, what face does our World Merchant's Association have?" Peng Sa slapped the table and roared angrily.

    Jinlingzi looked down on Peng Sa contemptuously: "Peng senior, is this to win over the World Merchant's Association?

    It was you who inscribed the teleportation seal at the bottom of the Nine-Color Eternal Lotus. Now that they've uncovered it and sent back a low-grade spirit stone, if this gets out, your actions might ruin the reputation of our World Merchant's Association completely."

    It was their World Merchant's Association that sold something to someone else, and then tried to use such a small trick as teleportation array pattern to return the items. As a result, they were discovered by the person. Husi Yuanqi's plan was originally good, but Peng Sa was greedy for the Nine-Color Eternal Lotus. As a result, he didn't get what he wanted and may have damaged the reputation of the World Merchant's Association. The items that followed were not auctioned by Dinghuan. The auction ended before Dinghuan took part in it.

    Dinghuan and Qia Baichu met up outside the auction hall. Before they reached the inn, Dinghuan's divine sense detected someone following them.

    The ones following them were not a single person, but a group.

    "Lily, let's not go to the inn. Let's first go to the square outside." Dinghuan turned around and walked towards the city outside of the void.

    This void city is on someone else's territory. Even if the World Merchant's Association has a good reputation, Dinghuan dare not linger here for long.

    What's more, based on the underhanded dealings between Dinghuan and the World Merchant's Association, it seems that this World Merchant's Association may also be a false front that doesn't match its reputation.

    "Big Brother Gana, are you not going to the inn anymore? And this older brother, I still don't know how to address you." After Dinghuan and Qia Baichu had taken a few steps forward, Fan Jian Dian followed them up.

    Dinghuan glanced at Fan Jian Dian and mentally muttered to himself, "I'm really childish."

    He actually thought that this woman was a sweet and innocent one.

    He was too lazy to care about Fan Jian Dian.

    "Dinghuan, are we leaving right now?" Qia Baichu asked.

    Dinghuan shook his head:

    "Right now, we don't know how many divine senses are around us. Even you have a lot of seals on your body. So we can't leave yet. Let's stop for a while in the square. I need to find a weapon and refine it."

    "Oh, I bought you a spear for you to look at." Qia Baichu said and handed Dinghuan a ring.

    Dinghuan's divine sense landed on the ring, and he immediately exclaimed in delight, "A great spear, Qia Baichu. Thank you."

    This spear exudes a domineering aura of relentless killing, and if he had this spear to face Lou Xihu back then, he wouldn't have been injured so severely.

    The only drawback is that the spear is too heavy in its malice and brimming with a bloodthirsty aura.

    "The only thing not good about this spear is that it has too much killing aura and bloodlust." "Big Brother Ding, this is the Jingye Gun. The biggest feature of this spear is to counter-attack its owner. It's said that the owner of this spear died mostly because of its counter-attack. What surprised Dinghuan was that Fan Jian Dian did not leave because of his cold attitude, but instead actively introduced the origin of the Jingye Gun. Dinghuan looked at Fan Jian Dian and said indifferently: "Fan Friend, my friend Qia and I have some spirit stones on us, but it's not much. If you choose a target, you should choose someone else." Fan Jian Dian was stunned and then asked in confusion: "Big Brother Ding, I can't understand what you're saying." Dinghuan coldly laughed: "You have a lot of killing aura on you. Have you killed many people who were after you in these few days?" Now, Dinghuan finally realized why Fan Jian Dian was everywhere making remarks about her wealth with no intention or hint of folly. The woman was trying to attract fat sheep to rob her and then counter-attack to get rich.
