Cultivation Pet Shop

The cloaked figure naturally understood what was being implied, but he didn't panic at all as he calmly stood up.

He looked at the family head who couldn't help flinching back as he felt a chill run down his spine.

Then after a moment of silence, the cloaked figure waved his hand to make something appear.

This was something that he pulled out of his Storage Ring and it was something that immediately shocked everyone.

It was a spirit stone that was the size of his hand, completely covering it as he held it. It was so big that he almost couldn't hold it with just a single hand.

Without any hesitation, he threw it onto the ground before bringing out three more spirit stones that were exactly the same. All of them were thrown onto the ground before he just looked at the crowd in front of him without saying a word.

The only thing that met his gaze were looks of complete shock.

It wasn't hard for them to recognize what this was, it was a spirit stone, but the shocking thing was the grade of the spirit stone.

Low grade spirit stones were small enough to fit in the palm of the hand and higher grade spirit stones would get bigger and bigger as the concentration of energy in them increased.

This was a spirit stone that was almost too big to hold in the hand, so one could imagine just how much life energy was contained within it.

A spirit stone of this size had another name, it was a peak grade spirit stone!

As a spirit stone of a higher grade, the value of the spirit stone would also be much higher.

There were four grades of spirit stone in total, going from low, to medium, to high, and finally to peak grade.

Each increment had a set value for how many lower grade spirit stones they were equal to, which was one hundred. For example, one hundred low grade spirit stones equaled one medium spirit stone, or one hundred medium spirit stones equaling a high spirit stone.

The exchange rate from a peak spirit stone to low grade spirits stones was one to one million.

However, the key thing was that were peak spirit stones that easy to find?

No, peak spirit stones were one of the rarest things to find and even the twelve great factions didn't have many of them. So while the exchange rate was set at one million low grade spirit stones to one peak grade spirit stone, no one would really be able to get a peak spirit stone for just a million low grade spirit stones.

Or rather, no one was dumb enough to trade a peak grade spirit stone for just a million low grade spirit stones.

But then there was this cloaked figure that came out of nowhere who had thrown down four peak grade spirit stones out like they were nothing.

Everyone couldn't help becoming suspicious, but no one doubted the legitimacy of the spirit stones since they could feel the aura coming from them. This wasn't something that could be faked.

The cloaked figure throwing out four peak grade spirit stones like this was like a slap across the face of not just the family head, but also the ones that hosted the auction since they were ones that had supported the family head in casting doubt on the cloaked figure.

Shuang Dong was a master at controlling her emotions and she immediately glared at the family head that had spoken since it was his fault that she was in this mess now. After a pause, she nodded at the staff member beside her to catch their attention before saying, "Send someone to escort this person out."

The staff member was surprised, but then they gave a nod before speaking into their earpiece.

Then without missing a beat, she turned to the cloaked figure and said, "We would like to apologize to this sir for doubting you. We acknowledge your bid and confirm that you are indeed the winner of the first auction."

No one dared to say a thing at this time since anyone who was able to pull out peak grade spirit stones like this definitely wasn't a normal person.

They were already afraid that they had offended this person and if they were to say anything else, they would just be making it worse.

However, there were many people who secretly sent messages to their people to watch this person when he left the auction later. After all, even if they couldn't be the one who would offend him, there would be people who would want to take his token.

When the time came, it wouldn't be too late for them to play the role of the oriole behind the mantis stalking the cicada.

Security quickly came to escort the family head who had made a fuss out.

He naturally tried his best to resist because he believed that as long as he was here, he still had a chance to win a token with the amount of funds that he had prepared. It was just too bad that Shuang Dong wouldn't give him that chance after the fuss that he had made.

It had even harmed her reputation as the number one auctioneer in Harmony City, so naturally she wouldn't show mercy to this family head. Especially since there was the Thunder Sect and the True Spirit Sect behind her.

The family head even tried fighting back, but the guards in the auction house were people sent by the Thunder Sect, so they were guards in the Child Soul Realm. The family head was someone who was barely in the Embryo Soul Realm, so naturally he wasn't able to resist at all as he was quickly incapacitated and carried out.

Once he was escorted out, the peace came back to the auction hall.

Shuang Dong had planned on bringing out the next token right away to make up for the disruption, but there was another disruption that suddenly came.

The cloaked figure gave a cough and then said, "Then can I pay for that item now and leave?"

Everyone turned to look at the cloaked figure with a shocked look since they never expected him to be this blunt about it.

It was common sense to wait until the end of the auction to settle accounts before getting the item, but this person didn't care about that at all. Instead he wanted to pay for the item directly and then leave.

Wasn't this just too arrogant?

He was interrupting the auction just to say this.

Did that mean that he valued his own time more than everyone else's time?

There were people from all twelve of the great factions here today, he was simply insulting them all right to their faces.

Shuang Dong had a very awkward look on her face when she heard this, but this time she didn't rush into it since she had messed up the last time, so she was starting to doubt her own judgement.

The normal thing to do would be to reject this proposal and continue with the auction, but she really couldn't help feeling that there was something off with this cloaked figure.

When she was at a loss as to what to do, there was a voice that suddenly came from her earpiece that said, "Just send someone to bring him to the back to pay and continue the auction."

It was like she had been pardoned as her face lit up.

She turned to the staff member who had come out after bringing security over and the staff member also gave her a nod since they had received the same message.

As the staff member moved over to where the cloaked figure was standing, Shuang Dong said, "Please follow this staff member into the back and pay for your item."

Then without giving it any more attention, she gave a snap as the lights turned off again and there was another staff member that came out with a pillow in hand.

Once that staff member came to the center of the stage, Shuang Dong lifted off the cloth on the pillow in one smooth motion to reveal the token sitting underneath. As soon as she did, she turned back to say, "Now, let's begin the auction for the second token. We will be following the same rules as before, so everyone please get ready."

One this happened, everyone turned their attention back to the auction.

The staff member came over to where the cloaked figure was and after saying a few words, they led the cloaked figure out one of the exits and closed the door behind them.

As they left, there were a few people who gave nods to the people sitting beside them and then those people also left.

It seemed that there were still some people that had intentions towards the token that the cloaked figure had just won.

As for the Thunder Sect and True Spirit Sect, naturally they wouldn't miss out on this after everything that had happened.

The staff member that was leading the cloaked figure to the exchange desk, they had also been given other instructions.

But for the people left in the auction hall, that wasn't their concern right now.

They had assigned people to watch the cloaked figure and there were people who didn't get involved, so all they could do now was focus on the token that was being auctioned.

It didn't take long before this token quickly climbed up in price as well.
