Li Xiaoyao wasn't intentionally opposing Wu Hao, Third Rank martial arts just weren't appealing to him, but he urgently needed the corpse of the Demon Beast.

Demon Beast meat is good stuff, and one can never have too much of it. Even if Li Xiaoyao couldn't finish it all, stashing it in his Storage Space was still beneficial.

Fifty thousand Spirit Stones!

This high bid even made Zhang Sanqian space out for a moment.

He was one of the initiators of this Ghost Market, and he had an impression of nearly every Cultivator who came to attend.

But of this young man who bid fifty thousand Spirit Stones, he had absolutely no impression.

Zhang Sanqian, seeing Cheng Dongliang sitting by Li Xiaoyao's side, speculated in his heart, could it be someone from the Cheng Family?

Wu Hao's expression turned dark as he snorted lightly, and bid again, "Fifty-one thousand Spirit Stones."

Without even lifting an eyelid, Li Xiaoyao directly raised the bid, "Sixty thousand Spirit Stones."

With gritted teeth, Wu Hao said, "Sixty-one thousand Spirit Stones."

Li Xiaoyao frowned slightly, finding Wu Hao indeed annoying. Not wanting to get entangled with him further, he directly raised the bid, "One hundred thousand Spirit Stones."

"Wow!"

His increase of forty thousand Spirit Stones in one go caused a collective gasp throughout the entire hall.

Cheng Dongliang, sitting beside him, looked at Li Xiaoyao in shock and cautiously said, "Xiaoyao, don't be impulsive."

Li Xiaoyao spoke indifferently, "It's only one hundred thousand Spirit Stones, not much. I just can't be bothered to waste more time with him."

One hundred thousand Spirit Stones really wasn't much for Li Xiaoyao, who now had tens of millions of Spirit Stones, so one hundred thousand didn't even count as a drop in the bucket.

Wu Hao's face turned red with rage; although the Wu Family owned a Spirit Stone Vein, the vein belonged to the Wu Family, not to him personally.

Wu Hao's entire fortune amounted to just over a hundred thousand Spirit Stones. To spend half of his wealth on a Demon Beast's corpse was already a lot, yet Li Xiaoyao, without as much as blinking an eye, could put forth one hundred thousand Spirit Stones. This almost made Wu Hao explode with fury.

"Humph, you say you have one hundred thousand Spirit Stones just like that?" Wu Hao sarcastically questioned, then looked towards Zhang Sanqian, adding, "I think this person is deliberately disrupting the auction order."

This statement made many others think the same.

"Indeed, he says he has one hundred thousand Spirit Stones, but where's the proof?"

"Anybody can make claims. I can say I have a million Spirit Stones, would you believe it?"

Zhang Sanqian furrowed his brow as he began to doubt Li Xiaoyao's credibility.

"Which Sect does this fellow Daoist come from?"

Li Xiaoyao replied indifferently, "No Sect, no affiliation."

"What? Just a solitary individual."

"Heh, how interesting. Someone with no Sect or family claiming to have one hundred thousand Spirit Stones, that's absolutely laughable."

A surge of anger started to rise in Zhang Sanqian's heart as he felt this young man was mocking him.

Li Xiaoyao's brow furrowed slightly as he said, "What? Just because I'm unaffiliated, I can't have one hundred thousand Spirit Stones? Is this how you judge whether I have Spirit Stones or not? Truly a bunch of country bumpkins who've never seen the world."

"Boy, who are you calling a country bumpkin?"

"Presumptuous brat, spewing such arrogance, do you believe I could slap you to death?"

The crowd grew furious, and the atmosphere in the hall became as tense as if drawn swords were at the ready, almost as if a fight could break out at any word.

On the other side of the hall, in the area occupied by the Lin Family.

Lin Wen shook his head mockingly and said, "Yuanyuan, your friend sure can brag—a man without a Sect, without a foundation, daring to say he possesses one hundred thousand Spirit Stones, that's a huge joke."

Lin Shiyun furrowed her brow slightly and shook her head, already deciding that she couldn't let Yuanyuan get involved with him anymore.

Li Xiaoyao was indeed not weak, but he bragged too much. Such a person was not a trustworthy man.

Lin Yuanyuan huffed and said, "If he says he has it, then he definitely has it."

The group burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Lin Langtian smiled and said, "Yuanyuan, you're not part of the cultivator circle, so it's no wonder you don't understand what one hundred thousand Spirit Stones represent. Let me put it this way, one hundred thousand Spirit Stones is like one billion to ordinary people. Of course, this is just a metaphor. In reality, even if you had one billion, it doesn't mean you could actually buy one hundred thousand Spirit Stones."

Lin Yuanyuan was a bit surprised, but still maintained confidently, "If he says he has them, then he definitely does."

The others shook their heads and said no more.

Lin Langtian frowned as he looked at Lin Yuanyuan, detecting an unusual glint in her eyes as she looked at Li Xiaoyao.

The people in the hall were still angrily cursing and swearing.

Li Xiaoyao let out a cold laugh and exclaimed, "Open your damn eyes and see clearly."

Li Xiaoyao stood up, walked to the front, and with a gentle wave of his arm, a glint of crystal green flashed by, and the next moment, the platform was piled up with emerald green stones, shimmering with an emerald glow like a small hill.

"My God, so many Spirit Stones!"

"He really has one hundred thousand Spirit Stones!"

"How is this possible? How could a Loose Cultivator with no Sect have so many Spirit Stones?"

Even Zhang Sanqian was stunned by the sight of the small mountain of Spirit Stones.

Li Xiaoyao completely ignored everyone else's reactions and turned to Zhang Sanqian, asking, "Do I have enough qualifications now?"

As this statement was made, the hall fell silent.

Who would dare say he wasn't qualified?

One hundred thousand Spirit Stones were right there before everyone's eyes.

Although it was impossible to count every single one, there were definitely one hundred thousand.

"This guy... actually does have one hundred thousand Spirit Stones!" Lin Wen said, swallowing his saliva with difficulty.

Lin Shiyun's eyes shone brightly as she looked at Li Xiaoyao's not-so-tall silhouette, and in that instant, she suddenly felt that she couldn't quite see through this man.

Lin Langtian's face darkened, his mind racing with thoughts.

"Hmph, I said if he claims he has one hundred thousand Spirit Stones, then he definitely has them," Lin Yuanyuan said, lifting her chin proudly like a haughty swan.

Zhang Sanqian regained his composure and nodded, "Does anyone have a higher offer?"

After a while, no one in the hall spoke up.

Wu Hao's face was an extreme shade of ugly, his fists clenched tightly.

He thought that by offering forty thousand Spirit Stones, he would definitely secure the Twin-Tailed Tiger Cat, but he hadn't expected someone to come out of nowhere and outbid him.

He indeed had more than one hundred thousand Spirit Stones on him, but he lacked the confidence to compete with Li Xiaoyao.

One hundred thousand Spirit Stones was his entire fortune, while Li Xiaoyao, who had casually produced one hundred thousand Spirit Stones, seemed as if it was as simple for him as if they were just a few Spirit Stones.

"The Twin-Tailed Tiger Cat is sold for one hundred thousand Spirit Stones."

Zhang Sanqian brought down the hammer decisively, sweeping away the one hundred thousand Spirit Stones with his sleeve.

"Next, the third auction item..."

The auction continued, and the atmosphere in the hall gradually returned to normal.

After purchasing the Twin-Tailed Tiger Cat, Li Xiaoyao watched the subsequent auction items quietly, but most of them were martial techniques and spells of very low rank, none of which caught his interest.

Cheng Dongliang, who was sitting next to Li Xiaoyao, seemed as if he wanted to speak but hesitated.

He was eager to ask Li Xiaoyao how he came to possess so many Spirit Stones, but when the words reached his lips, he ultimately didn't ask.

The relationship between him and Li Xiaoyao was just average. Although Li Xiaoyao addressed him as Elder Cheng, Cheng Dongliang knew that their relationship was only slightly better than that of ordinary people.

Even if he asked, there was no guarantee that Li Xiaoyao would answer.
