Chapter 1239: Spending Spirit Stones Like Dirt
Su Chen and the long-skirted woman who had just entered both showed a trace of surprise on their faces!
The others who heard the voice couldn't help but glance at the two of them!
"You know each other?"
Ouyang Jing asked with some surprise.
"We've met a few times."
Su Chen smiled and said, not expecting that the woman who had just walked in was the very one who was beside Qin Nishang!
He immediately thought, could it be that the family or faction where Qin Nishang belongs is actually behind this Tianyuan Auction House?
"Mr. Su, long time no see."
The long-skirted woman quickly returned to normal and said with a slight smile.
Although she was somewhat unhappy with Su Chen's previous attitude at the villa, guests are guests after all, and moreover, the lady seems to hold this man in a special regard!
"Yes, it has been a long time."
Su Chen smiled and said:
"Let's take a look at how to exchange my spirit stones first."
"Alright."
The long-skirted woman picked up the spirit stones on the table and looked at them, glancing at Su Chen from time to time, wondering how he came to possess such top-grade spirit stones.
"How is it?"
After the long-skirted woman had been looking for a while, Su Chen asked.
"To be honest, Mr. Su, we haven't exchanged top-grade spirit stones before, how about one hundred to one?"
The long-skirted woman looked at Su Chen and said:
"Of course, if Mr. Su is not satisfied, I can ask the lady for instructions."
"No need, that's fine. Please exchange them all."
Su Chen waved nonchalantly, then pulled out a handful of spirit stones from his pocket and placed them all on the counter!
These included the spirit stones of everyone from the villa, including those of Ouyang Jing and Huang Menglei!
Seeing Su Chen suddenly take out so many spirit stones, and all of them top-grade, both the long-skirted woman and the maid from earlier were deeply shocked, their mouths slightly agape!
Just one top-grade spirit stone would be enough to shock them, and this man unexpectedly took out so many at once, roughly ten in total!
After a moment of being stunned, the long-skirted woman looked at Su Chen once more, becoming extremely curious about this man!
Even among super-first-class forces, no one could possibly take out that many top-grade spirit stones!
As the long-skirted woman prepared to exchange the spirit stones for Su Chen, he spoke up:
"No need to take them. It's not convenient to carry so many spirit stones. Anyway, I'll be bidding at the auction later, and we can settle it then."
After all, ten top-grade spirit stones are equivalent to a thousand low-grade spirit stones, which would be cumbersome to carry, and Su Chen didn't want to expose the existence of the Cangyue Ring!
"Alright."
The long-skirted woman nodded.
"By the way, though we've met a few times, I still don't know your name!"
At this moment, Su Chen smiled and said.
"Mu Yu."
The long-skirted woman replied.
"Mu Yu? Nice name!"
Su Chen smiled lightly and then left the counter, heading downstairs.
"Brother Su, you're flirting with beauties again!"
As they headed downstairs, Huang Menglei pouted.
"What are you talking about? I just asked for a name!"
Su Chen said, feeling slightly amused and exasperated.
Once downstairs, they sat down in adjacent empty seats.
After waiting for just over ten minutes, much like the auction in Lin'an, a woman in a qipao with a graceful figure came out with a smile on her face!
...
In the next two or three hours, Su Chen truly lived the life of a wealthy man, experiencing the feeling of spending spirit stones like dirt!
No, to be precise, it was spending spirit stones extravagantly!
Nearly everyone's attention was focused on him, for no other reason than that this guy was really infuriating!
In the past few hours, whenever a good martial technique appeared, this guy would always claim it, ignoring all restrictions!
If anyone tried to compete with him, this guy would immediately offer a flat price, crushing the opponent!
Everyone deeply doubted whether this guy truly had so many spirit stones!
Especially since he had spent several hundred spirit stones already, as though money was no object!
Zhu Yuanfeng, who was brimming with resentment, glared at him. Just now, he finally set his eyes on a set of swordsmanship martial skills, bidding eighty spirit stones to defeat his competitors, only for this guy to suddenly offer one hundred!
It's known that eighty was nearly his limit!
After all, eighty spirit stones were quite a lot, otherwise, he wouldn't have beaten the others!
Su Chen, however, paid no mind to Zhu Yuanfeng's discontent, feeling quite satisfied at the moment, as he had already secured seven or eight sets of martial skills!
Though these martial skills couldn't compare to his "Thousand Hand Seal" and "Wind Shadow Step," they were quite decent and could at least significantly enhance the overall strength of the people in the villa!
Ouyang Jing and Huang Menglei also selected cultivation techniques they liked. Ouyang Jing actually possessed decent martial skills, but now that he had the "Thunderclap Blade" magic artifact, he had always wanted a blade technique!
Today, he happened upon one and bought the blade technique!
...
Meanwhile, in a room at the back of the second floor of the auction house, Qin Nishang sat on the sofa, while Mu Yu in a long skirt stood beside her.
"These are all brought by him?"
Qin Nishang held a top-grade spirit stone in her hand, with a small pile of top-grade spirit stones stacked on the coffee table before her.
"Yes."
Mu Yu nodded and replied.
"This guy is becoming more interesting, constantly surprising people!"
Qin Nishang smiled slightly, though she was inwardly filled with shock.
"By the way, what did he bid on with all those spirit stones?"
Qin Nishang glanced at Mu Yu and asked.
"Report from downstairs just now, he has practically collected all the better martial techniques."
Mu Yu said:
"He seems to have already aroused some public contempt, I really wonder what he wants with so many martial techniques!"
Because typically, having one or at most two or three suitable martial techniques is sufficient for any individual!
"Haha!"
Hearing this, Qin Nishang burst into laughter and gently said:
"If I'm not mistaken, he's probably buying them for the women in his villa; aren't some of the women there also martial artists?"
"So, this guy isn't too bad after all!"
Mu Yu pouted, clearly still upset about last time when Su Chen refused her invitation so abruptly, feeling he was so rude then!
"Still angry about him rejecting your invitation from before, huh!"
Qin Nishang laughed, seeing Mu Yu's expression:
"Alright, I also bore some responsibility for what happened before, being too abrupt and causing his aversion!"
Mu Yu doesn't actually harbor much resentment towards Su Chen, just feeling really embarrassed about before...
At first, Mu Yu didn't quite understand why the lady treated him so specially!
Gradually, she also realized that this man is indeed quite unusual in many aspects...
