Peerless Battle Spirit Chapter 103 - Ambergris

The words caused every disciple on the scene to be stunned and glance toward Qin Nan at the same time.

They had never expected Qin Nan to speak at that instant. Wasn’t he worried about offending Nangong Cheng?

Nangong Cheng’s eyes flickered coldly.

Meanwhile, Old Zhang frowned his eyebrows. He had not anticipated that any outer disciple would go against Nangong Cheng’s will, as he calmly said, “This disciple, I’m sorry, as your bid is one step late, this Seven-Colored Flower belongs to Nangong Cheng.”

It was evident that Old Zhang was being partial from his words.

Firstly, he had no idea who Qin Nan was, and secondly, he had the intention to fawn upon Nangong Cheng, thus using his authority, he declared the ownership of the item straight away.

“Is it?” Qin Nan’s expression remained calm as he said, “If I want this Seven-Colored Flower, it doesn’t matter who’s here today, it’ll still be mine.”

The disciples were dumbfounded, as they did not think that Qin Nan would be so scornful.

“You!”

Old Zhang became furious after hearing these words; as the master of ceremonies of the outer disciple auction, this was his first time meeting such an arrogant disciple.

“Old Zhang, there’s no need to be mad.” At that moment, Nangong Cheng began to speak, still with a calm tone, “Since this Junior Brother wants to compete with me, then let him be. I’m interested to see the price he’s able to bid.”

The disciples were stunned, before their hearts were filled with excitement. Nangong Cheng had finally decided to deal with Qin Nan.

Old Zhang held back the flames of anger in his heart as he let out a hollow laugh, with no intention of concealing his disdain toward Qin Nan, as he said, “Nangong Cheng bid fifty thousand Xiantian Pills, what’s your price?”

As everyone knew, Nangong Cheng was ranked at the top among the outer disciples, and was heavily favored by the Great Elder of the outer domain. His wealth was unmatched by the other outer disciples.

Who did this eighth-layer Body Tempering Realm guy think he was, to have the right to compete with Nangong Cheng?

“Why do I need to bid?” Qin Nan glanced toward Old Zhang and said, “I already told you that if I’m fond of this Seven-Colored Flower, then it belongs to me. It doesn’t matter how much someone bids, because it will still be mine.”

Everyone was left speechless on the spot, including Nangong Cheng.

According to Qin Nan’s words, did he mean he was going to get the Seven-Colored Flower for free without him bidding?

What a joke, this was the outer disciple auction. One must definitely pay to get any piece of treasure from this auction!

“HAHA, this Junior Brother has quite a sense of humor,” Nangong Cheng collected his thoughts and burst out laughing, “If you’re unable to afford the price, then please don’t disturb us. Of course, if you appear to have enough pills, you’re always welcome to compete.”

Within the smile, Nangong Cheng instinctively displayed his ignorance toward Qin Nan.

Even though Qin Nan was someone who had ranked first in the Trial of Versatility, who had even achieved one thousand steps and killed a higher-ranked super genius, he was still utterly mismatched against Nangong Cheng.

Old Zhang let out a cold harrumph and said, “Hey you, if you dare to interrupt again, I’ll treat it as breaking the rules. You will be banned from attending any outer domain auction for the rest of your life.”

In Old Zhang’s eyes, Qin Nan had become a poverty-stricken idiot who was trying to get the attention of the crowd.

Trying to get the Seven-Colored Flower for free? No way. That was only possible in your dreams!

However, at that instant, an old white-haired man went toward the stage in a hurried pace.

Upon seeing this old man, Old Zhang’s expression changed slightly, as he said in a respectful tone, “Elder, you’re here.”

This old white-haired man was the elder in charge of the auction.

The disciples were confused seeing this. Why was the elder here?

Meanwhile, the white-haired elder whispered a few sentences into Old Zhang’s ear, which caused the latter’s face to twist thoroughly, as countless beads of cold sweat formed on his forehead.

Old Zhang took a deep breath, before glancing toward Qin Nan. The previous disdainful and scornful expression in his eyes was gone, replaced by a look of respect as he said, “Qin… Junior Brother Qin Nan, pardon my ignorance, not knowing your identity beforehand. I’m sorry, Please forgive me. This Seven-Colored Flower, as you’ve mentioned, if you want it then it’s yours, without needing to pay.”

Upon hearing this, the disciples were shocked. Nangong Cheng was also shocked.

What was happening right now?

Why had Old Zhang’s attitude altered so rapidly?

What kind of identity did Qin Nan possess, to be able to receive the Seven-Colored Flower—with the price of fifty thousand pills—for free?

“Old Zhang, what do you mean? It has always been the one with the highest bidding price that gets the piece of treasure in every auction. What rights does he have to get the Seven-Colored Flower for free?” Nangong Cheng demanded in a harsh tone.

After all, he had planned to get the Seven-Colored Flower beforehand. If Qin Nan were to outbid him, it was still acceptable, but now that the item had been taken by Qin Nan for free, how would he accept that?

Old Zhang’s attitude became firm as he said, “This is the order of the sect. Enough with that, let’s move on to the next item!”

Following this, the attractive lady appeared once again, together with the next item.

After seeing this, the disciples glanced toward Qin Nan differently now. Being able to cause Nangong Ershao to be banned from entering the Treasure Vault for the rest of his life and now completely gaining the upper hand against Nangong Cheng—along with receiving the Seven-Colored Flower for free—showed how extraordinary Qin Nan’s identity was.

Nangong Cheng’s face was contorted, but he did not lose his ability to think. He now realized that Qin Nan’s identity was nothing ordinary.

“I’ll remember what you have done to me this time. I’ll make you pay when the time comes!” Nangong Cheng stared at Qin Nan furiously, before taking a few deep breaths to try and calm himself down.

Meanwhile, the auction continued and the previously silent hall became lively once again.

When the twentieth item came out, Old Zhang’s pitch went high as he yelled out, “This will be the second best seller of our auction, known as the Ambergris. When it’s ignited, it will release a unique scent, which aids one in improving his Martial Realm. For example, if one is at the Perfection Stage of One with the Weapon, with this Ambergris, they would have a great chance to achieve the Arcane Realm! The bidding starts now, with the base price being ten thousand Xiantian Pills!”

After hearing this, the crowd of disciples went mad, as they all locked their gazes onto the Ambergris on display.

Compared to the Seven-Colored Flower from before, it seemed like this Ambergris possessed an even greater value.

“I bid eleven thousand Xiantian Pills!”

“Fifteen thousand, I bid fifteen thousand pills!”

“Screw you all, it’s been half a year since I’ve reached the Greater Success Stage of One with the Weapon, unable to proceed to the Perfection Stage. This Ambergris is just what I need. I’ll bid eighteen thousand!”

……

After a while, the bidding price of the Ambergris had increased to twenty-five thousand Xiantian Pills, with no sign of stopping.

Upon seeing this, Nangong Cheng ran out of patience. He had achieved the Perfection Stage of One with the Weapon a year ago, with no sign of improving to the Arcane Realm. If he were to get his hands on this Ambergris, he would surely achieve the Arcane Realm, boosting his strength insanely.

“Eighty thousand Xiantian Pills!” Nangong Cheng rose up from his seat and yelled.

His words caused everyone’s faces to be twisted. Be it Nangong Cheng’s identity, or the bid of eighty thousand Xiantian Pills, both were beyond of their range of affordability.

“Junior Brother Qin Nan, this Ambergris is incredibly rare. If you don’t get it this time, you will have a hard time finding it again. If you’re interested, you’re free to compete with me…” At that instant, Nangong Cheng glanced toward Qin Nan, his eyes filled with a hint of provocation.

According to Nangong Cheng’s prediction, even though Qin Nan’s identity was enough to take the Seven-Colored Flower for free, that would be his limit—he would not be able to take a second one.

Otherwise, it would become a great loss for the Treasure Vault, wouldn’t it?

“Senior Brother, you’re right. If that’s the case, this Ambergris is now mine.” Qin Nan nodded his head and said.

“Yours? Why is it yours before you even tell us your bid?” Nangong Cheng felt irritated after hearing this, “You’ve already taken the Seven-Colored Flower, do you really think you can take this Ambergris…”

Before Nangong Cheng could finish his words, Old Zhang declared with a loud voice, “The Ambergris now belongs to Qin Nan. Let’s proceed to the next piece of treasure.”

Hearing this, Nangong Cheng halted his sentence, as he was left completely stunned on the spot.
