While Lin Yun was considering whether he should offer a price, the young Lord of the Yuns was sitting in a room on the first floor, listening to his underling’s report.

“Sir, the results have come back. The seller of the golden horn is Lin Yun, who was wearing the customized clothing of the Qingyun Sect.”

“Qingyun Sect?!”

The young gentleman’s face turned sullen immediately at the moment he heard these two words, “Where is he right now?”

The guard answered respectfully, “He is staying in Room 17 on the opposite side. Besides, it was also him who bought the Blood Activating Elixir in the first auction.”

The identity of buyer was supposed to be confidential, and only known by the auctioneers. However, given his identity, nothing could be hidden from the young Lord of the Yuns.

After all, the esteemed Yuns, and the other three families have control over the entire Baishui city, which is a fact that even the owner of the auction house has come to dread.

“Lin Yun? No wonder it sounds familiar.”

With the corner of his mouth curved upwards slightly, the young Lord of the Yuns said to himself in a low voice, “The last time when we were in the Hengyun Mountains, I couldn’t give you a lesson. But now we can really have some fun here in Baishui city.”

At this moment, Qiu Shui, who was standing on the auction block, repeated with anxious in her eyes, “The starting price is 800 inferior spiritual stones. Anyone?”

“810 inferior spiritual stones.”

Suddenly, a voice broke the deadlock. Qiu Shui looked in the direction of that voice immediately.

“Haha, again! Our guest in Room 17 offered his price for this Ancient Sword Box. You won’t regret this!”

“Thank god this one won’t pass.” Qiu Shui smiled at the thought of this.

As if her tears would drop at any time, her watery eyes that was fixed on Room 17 swayed people’s minds.

And Lin Yun rubbed his nose while wondering, “Did I offer too much just now?” For the auctioneer’s facial expression led to his second thoughts.

All the warriors were shocked. With a glint of mockery in their eyes, none of them thought there would be someone willing to buy it at a high price.

“810 inferior spiritual stones once, 810 inferior spiritual stones twice, and sold! Congratulations to our guest…”

“Wait!”

“I’d like to offer one thousand six hundred inferior spiritual stones for this Ancient Sword Box.”

At the moment when the auctioneer was about to announce the result, someone suddenly offered a doubled price.

With a surprised look, Qiu Shui was wild with joy and then she hastened to look at the person who offered the price just now, “I was wondering who could be so generous, and it turns out to be the young Lord of the Yuns!”

The young Lord of the Yuns?

Lin Yun was stunned for a moment but soon he found himself taken aback by the fact that this young Lord could survive the hunting of of raging herd of bulls.

“Hey, bastard! You will get nothing today as long as I’m here!”

Sitting in the room, the young Lord said coldly, with anger directly aimed at Lin Yun in his voice.

All the people, who had been wondering who would offer such a high price, now understood.

It seemed that the young Lord of the Yuns was trying to humiliate Lin Yun with the high price he offered.

“Three thousand inferior spiritual stones.”

However, to everyone’s surprise, Lin Xin offered a higher price again as soon as the young Lord offered his.

It never occurred to Qiu Shui that someone would offer such a high price for this Ancient Sword Box. After confirming, she grinned from ear to ear, “The guest in Room 17 offered 3000 inferior spiritual stones. Do I hear a higher price?”

“Damn it!”

Now it was the young Lord’s turn to feel ashamed with his ears burning as if slapped because of his outrageous statement that Lin Yun would get nothing.

And then, Lin Yun immediately offered a price that was almost twice as much.

Gritting his teeth, the young Lord of the Yuns was about to offer his price again. But he was stopped by his guard.

“Please don’t, sir!”

“Remember the delegation of the Ziyan Sect. Our target is the Bloody Flame Bone. We need to keep the stones for our mission.”

The guard reminded him in earnest words and with good intentions.

Therefore, the young Lord suppressed his impulsion to bid again unwillingly at the thought of the alarming Ziyan Sect.

“It seems that no one could offer a price more than 3000 inferior spiritual stones. How about you, sir?”

Qiu Lan blinked and looked at the young Lord as if asking him whether he would still live up to his words.

The young Lord’s face turned red with anger. With his hands clenched tightly, he turned a deaf ear to her.

“Congratulations! This gentleman got the ancient sword box at the price of 3000 inferior spiritual stones.”

Qiu Shui announced the deal and sighed secretly to herself with pity that she would have made a larger profit if the stupid young Lord kept losing his mind.

Of course, the 3000 inferior spiritual stones were enough to lift Qiu Shui’s spirit.

Almost ten minutes later, two strong men lifted the sword box and sent it to Lin Yun’s Room 17.

The steward in black who came along said with a polite smile, “Mr Lin, here is your sword box.”

Lin Yun nodded slightly and replied, “You can take out the spiritual stones from the sale proceeds of my golden horn.”

“Okay.”

After they all left, Lin Yun began to observe the sword box carefully.

It did seem a bit worn-out from its rusty and mottled appearance, while the antique beauty couldn’t be ignored.

Even the decorative design on the surface of the sword box struck him as simple and profound, which was better than what he had imagined.

His senses were assaulted by the refreshing chill directly coming towards his face as Qiu Shui had said before.

“Good!”

Lin Yun smiled with content. After all, the main point he valued the most in this sword box was precisely the freezing vapor inside that could help him to save the floral fragrance so that the flowers wouldn’t wither soon after being put into the sword box.

Compared to the Magical Saber, the Flower Burying Sword he had still needed to be nourished by the floral fragrance.

Although there was no need to rush, preparation was required.

He was a little taken aback by the unexpected weight of the sword box. After all, it was only as thick as half of a little finger.

Something must be different under its ordinary appearance. Otherwise, there would be no reason for the auctioneer to give it a starting price at 800 inferior spiritual stones.

The auction soon came to an end, leaving the last but also the most important item waiting for its buyer.

“The next is the grand finale of our auction this time. I believed that you have all heard about it. We’re going to auction ten blood flame bones. As we all known, the bloody flame bone is the core material to refining the Bloody Flame Armor that could even help you survive the attack of warriors whose cultivation has reached the 9th level. The starting price is 20000 inferior spiritual stones!”

Qiu Lan was so confident with the last auction items that she directly announced a breath-taking starting price without introducing it in detail.

Twenty thousand inferior spiritual stones!

Most of the warriors in the hall was shocked by the price. For them, it was much more than their life savings.

“25000 inferior spiritual stones!” But the young Lord of Yuns, who had been waiting for this moment for a long time, immediately offered his price, hastening to show off his vast financial resources.

Besides, he directly added 5000 inferior spiritual stones on the basis of the starting price without hesitation.

“Thirty thousand!”

“Forty thousand pieces!”

“Fifty thousand!”

But soon, his quoted price was covered by the others’. Just in a moment, the bid of the bloody flame bones had increased to fifty thousand inferior stones. Compared to this, the twenty-five thousand inferior spiritual stones that the young Lord offered meant nothing.

“It’s the Four Families!”

“I heard that each of the four families is supported by one of the Sects. Anyway, it makes me so excited to guess who the winner will be today.”

“In my opinion, it must be the Yuns that was supported by the Ziyan Sect.

After all, Ziyan Sect’s overall strength kept expanding these years with the potential of surpassing the Qingyun Sect soon. This time, they are determined to win the blood flame bones.”

“Don’t jump to conclusions. I think any of the other Sects will give up easily.”

在场武者都深知血焰骨的价值，肯定是会落在四大宗门手中，由他们所支持的家族来竞价。  All the warriors knew clearly about the values of the bloody flame bones and in the end, it must be one of the four families got these bloody flame bones because the powerful Sects supported behind them could offer them enough money to bid.

Of course, Lin Yun was pleased with the current situation. For him, the more violent the competition among the four Sects was, the more beneficial it would be for him.

“Fifty-five thousand!”

“Sixty thousand!”

The price kept increasing until the young Lord of the Yuns offered sixty thousand.

No one dared to speak at this time. After all, 60000 inferior spiritual stones were already an exaggerated price well above the market price.

It seemed that the Ziyan Sect really wanted to get these bloody flame bones no matter how much they would cost.

At that time, Lin Yun’s heart was beating so fast and hardly calm down when he heard the young Lord’s quoted price. Sixty thousand inferior spiritual stones! Even if he gave Tong Hu 10% of it, he would still earn more than fifty thousand inferior spiritual stones, which was a stupendous sum that he had never dared to imagine before.

After a moment, the steward in black stepped inside.

With his meaningful gaze fixed on Lin Yun, he said smilingly, “Mr. Lin,yo do know how to keep your own counsel.”

I never thought that you were the one who entrusted Mr. Tong with the bloody flame bones until just now. Please forgive me for my manners before.”

After saying this, he passed a storage bag to Lin Yun.

Lin Yun took it over cautiously and opened the storage bag that was filled with inferior spiritual stones.

He checked carefully to make sure that there were fifty-four inferior spiritual stones in total, except for the six thousand stones that were already sent to Tong Hu.

Tong Hu was really satisfied since he got 6000 inferior spiritual stones without doing anything.

“I wonder how he will react if the young Lord knows that his inferior spiritual stones will go to you in the end.”

However, Lin Yin didn’t mind at all.

With a gentle smile, Lin Yun didn’t give a direct answer to his question but made an obeisance by cupping one hand in the other before his chest, saying, “Now if you’ll excuse me.”

“Take care! Mr. Lin.”

Watching Lin Yun leave with a trace of greed flashing across his eyes, the steward in black sighed in a low voice, “It’s really a pity that he is the disciple of the Qingyun Sect. Besides, he has achieved such high level of cultivation at a young age. So I think there must be someone behind him.”

Otherwise， it would be tough to say if Lin Yun could get out of here safely.
