s hidden within this sword.Xiaoyao turned his head and glanced back at the young lady. He thought that she was very good, extremely so!The sword indeed contains rare materials, a fact Xiangyao is awar...Chapter 489: Breakthrough Part 1

However, although he was disappointed, Xianyao still felt very let down because he could forge any weapon himself. Although divine weapons were great, they might not necessarily suit him. Even if it was a sword, this was even more so the case with a knife.

That being said, Xianyao's disappointment didn't mean that others were disappointed too. On the contrary, they all started to go crazy and bid up the price straight away to twenty thousand, which continued to rise.

In the end, this Water Moon was fixed at thirty-three thousand, also becoming the highest price so far in this auction house. For this reason, it seemed that some people had even become enemies over it. This was normal because there was only one divine weapon and a lot of people wanted to obtain it.

"Seventy-fifth item: This is also something valuable, an unnamed cultivation method manual. Although I don't know what it's called, it can allow someone to cultivate all the way to the god realm..." The auction house produced an old manual. No one knew what material this manual was made from and couldn’t determine its age.

"A cultivation method that allows one to reach the god realm"

Instantly, the scene erupted once more. Although everyone didn't know what this cultivation method's name was, being able to cultivate all the way to the god realm was a huge temptation.

The Luo Family had Cloud Soaring Technique that could be cultivated straight through to the god realm. The same went for the Black Tortoise Clan and other sects, but the issue here was that these weren't something ordinary people could come into contact with or cultivate. Some people couldn’t obtain cultivation methods from the god realm either, being stuck in the saint realm.

Therefore, even though this was an unnamed cultivation method, there would certainly be a lot of competition over it and its price wouldn’t be cheap. Instantly, the price rose to thirty thousand, roughly similar to that of the Water Moon earlier.

However, thirty thousand was already the highest price possible because it was just an unnamed cultivation method. No one could guarantee whether this particular cultivation method would actually allow someone to cultivate all the way up and what its effects were; any more would feel too risky.

The person who offered that thirty thousand price was also from a box seat, and judging by their voice, it seemed like they were a young man. Although everyone didn't know this young man's identity, anyone able to put down thirty thousand definitely wasn’t ordinary.

"Thirty thousand! Second time…"

“Thirty thousand…”

"This should be the end of it…," Lu Lingyu said. She felt that this was about enough but noticed that someone had once again stirred her heart.

"Three hundred and one thousand!" Xianyao bid.

“Thump!” Lu Lingyu punched Xianyao in the head, sending him reeling off his chair to the ground.

"What It hurts," Xianyao climbed up from the floor and said innocently.

"Why do you think so What are you buying this for when our Luo Family has Cloud Soaring Technique, and you can't even cultivate other cultivation methods" Lu Lingyu asked angrily.

That was true; why did he need to Xianyao knew a lot of cultivation methods—many were from Wang Yanru that all allowed one to cultivate up to the god realm. He had also already prepared cultivation methods for Guxing and others, which could be cultivated straight through to the god realm, so this particular cultivation method seemed unimportant to him.

Theoretically speaking, Xianyao wouldn't spend more than thirty thousand on such a cultivation method; he'd rather spend his money on medicinal pills. Although he was rich, he also didn’t want to waste it.

But suddenly, Xianyao had the feeling that this particular cultivation method would help him, so he made up his mind and bought it!

"I'll buy it to take a look; I like collecting cultivation methods," Xianyao replied with a smile. Although the reason was terrible, at least it sounded better than saying he had a feeling.

“You’re not collecting this way,” Lu Lingyu didn’t know how to say anything else about Xianyao.

"What’s wrong I’ll give it to the Luo Family later. This will be considered as making contributions," Xianyao said nonchalantly.

“But…”

"Three hundred and six thousand!" Xianyao shouted, because those outside had already bid up to thirty-five thousand; he was adding another ten thousand. He didn’t want to add more than that—it would be too much of a loss.

However, this three-hundred-and-six-thousand price from Xianyao made the entire scene feel very eerie because everyone had thought that thirty-five thousand was the limit and no one else would bid higher. When Xianyao added another ten thousand just now, they might have thought it was a test, but didn't expect him to add another.

Adding ten thousand at a time made people think he was messing with them.

The young man's face darkened as he continued shouting, "Four hundred thousand!"

Hmph! Judging by the cash, I don’t believe anyone here can exceed me. I brought over a million in cash and even though I’ve spent more than forty thousand so far, there’s still over fifty thousand left.

That young man was the one who had bought the Water Moon earlier; he seemed to be an extremely rich master.

"Four hundred and ten thousand!" Xianyao remained as relaxed as before. However, Lu Lingyu beside him looked very dark—she wanted to choke Xianyao right there so that he couldn’t speak anymore.

“Five hundred thousand!!” That young man was furious; since I’m rich and have money, see how you dare bid again! But what he hadn't expected was that just as he shouted out five hundred thousand, the other side had already made another bid.

"550,000!" That young man seemed a little dejected. He had bid as high as this and it was already the limit of what he could afford; if not for his stubbornness, he would have given up long ago.

"560,000!"

“Wow!”

The whole scene was shocked. A bid as high as 560,000 was extremely rare in an auction house like Moonstream City; it might be acceptable somewhere like the Azure Dragon City but here it was a rarity that he would never witness again for the rest of his life.

Who was this man so rich and yet also so wasteful

Everyone now looked at the box where Free-and-Easy was seated, wanting to know who he was.

No one on site thought that the young man would continue bidding. In fact, it wouldn’t matter if he did because Free-and-Easy would definitely bid higher still. They could tell from his indifferent tone that he simply didn’t care about money.

The youth gritted his teeth; he had originally wanted to continue bidding but then thought that Free-and-Easy’s identity might be complicated and there was no need to offend him. He didn’t have enough money now, so if he continued bluffing it would only create a large enmity.

Since he wasn’t sure who Free-and-Easy was, the youth held back. If he knew who Free-and-Easy was, perhaps he would continue bidding.

"You spent 560,000 silver coins just to buy this book," Lü Lingyu had a lot of complaints about this and looked at the secret manual but couldn’t see any particular value in it.

Free-and-Easy only smiled as he packed up his items into his backpack and prepared to leave. The auction was over, so what were they still doing here for

"You are the person who bid against me Who are you" As soon as Free-and-Easy left, a youth blocked him. He realized that this youth should be one of those who had been bidding with him.

Free-and-Easy glanced at his opponent and walked past him with an unpleasant look on his face. You just cost me over 200,000 silver coins; do you think I would greet you

"How dare..." one of the youth’s companions shouted.

“Oh, isn’t that Prince” Lü Lingyu came out and spoke to the young man without any care at all.

“Miss Lingyu How did you end up with him” That prince said in puzzlement; Free-and-Easy was in the same room as Lü Lingyu.

"He is my fourth brother. What’s wrong, Your Highness Do you have something to ask of my fourth brother" Lü Lingyu looked at the prince and asked.

“Your fourth brother Oh, I see, Miss Lingyu's younger brother. No wonder he is so arrogant and doesn’t take me into account,” Prince sneered coldly; since he knew Free-and-Easy’s identity and felt that this wasn’t enough to match his own status, he started boasting.

"Miss Lingyu, let’s go. Don’t speak with such a person, or you’ll need to rinse your eyes," Free-and-Easy said without looking back as he continued walking forward.

“What Boy, explain yourself! Even if you are from the Lü family, this Flowstone Kingdom is ours, not yours!” Prince raged. He felt that even if his royal family was weak, it was still stronger than the Lü Family.

"Even if it’s your kingdom, it doesn’t belong to you. Moreover, it's just a small Flowstone Kingdom; do you think there is only one such kingdom in this world" Free-and-Easy replied indifferently and then walked off with Lü Lingyu. Prince didn't chase after them since he knew that even if he did catch up, it wouldn’t matter.

This was just a verbal spat and not a conflict; nobody would take this seriously or deal with it because it could only damage the relationship between royal family and the Lü Family.

Though he felt that the Lü Family wasn't as great as his own, he wouldn’t think that the royal family could trample upon the Lü Family at will.

"Fourth Brother, you are offending people," the moment she came out, Lü Lingyu started lecturing him.

“Who did I offend He just cost me 200,000 silver coins! We’re already enemies!” Free-and-Easy replied. “Besides, he will soon lose his title anyway; why should I care about them”

"That incident is still uncertain as to when it’ll happen; be careful," Lü Lingyu knew what Free-and-Easy was referring to.

“I reckon it’s almost here, and then you might become Princess,” Free-and-Easy smiled and said. However, by the time he finished speaking, they were using Secret Sound Transmission.

"Mutual mutual! Your Highness!" Lü Lingyu replied with a smile, naturally also using Secret Sound Transmission.

Suddenly, Free-and-Easy realized that even though this was just a small country, the titles of Prince and Princess were still quite amusing. Suddenly becoming a princess or prince…

No matter what, he first needed to return home and research the secret manual; otherwise, he would be unsure as to whether his earlier feeling had been correct. If it wasn’t, then these 500,000 might have been wasted.

He should be right, though. It could benefit Boss or Miss Lady and allow them to advance to the god level faster.

Free-and-Easy returned home and went into seclusion because of this secret manual; he needed to study it. He never imagined that the manual was not beneficial for his companions but rather himself alone. (To be continued) knew of our existence from the start, but they just ignored us," said the old man helplessly. This was a tragedy because he wasn’t even considered by them."You’re right, to them you’re just ants. Who...
