Reborn as a Mountain: I Defy the Heavens with a Smile-Chapter 47: Bidding For The Stone

"Ye Chen! You are courting death!" Mo Chongsheng roared in anger.

However, Ye Chen just ignored him and looked at the male disciple behind.

"What are you staring at? You better hurry and declare the results; if not, I will sue you and your cuckolded sect master for preventing me from buying a treasure," he stated with a cold look.

Hearing him, both Mo Chongsheng’s and the male disciple’s faces were black with anger.

If people looked carefully, they could even see twitching veins on their foreheads and uncontrollable rage in their eyes.

But there was no way they could do anything to him here and could only swallow the humiliation.

"Good! You are the first person to slander me like this; you better be ready for the consequences!" Mo Chongsheng snorted coldly.

Although threatening him might make things worse if he really killed him in the future, he wasn’t someone who would cower.

After saying this, he turned his gaze towards the male disciple.

"What kind of auction is going on? I will also participate," he stated.

Hearing him, the male disciple was stunned; however, he didn’t delay and immediately explained that Ye Chen was interested in the strange stone and wanted to buy it.

"Okay, I will bid 310 mid-grade spiritual stones," Mo Chongsheng said decisively.

He didn’t even look at the stone; clearly, he was trying to cause trouble. As for being afraid of Ye Chen not buying it, he didn’t care since this much money was nothing to him.

Moreover, the stall owner was from his sect, so he won’t lose too much even after paying the commission to the great market.

The onlookers guessed his thoughts and gave him unpleasant looks. However, no one dared to say anything.

They were, after all, afraid of his position as sect master as well as his cultivation.

Even the young man who started this bidding kept his mouth shut.

But of course, Ye Chen wasn’t afraid of him and was just about to say something when a sweet voice rang out.

"If the auction is still going on, then I will bid 500 mid-grade spiritual stones," Jing Xiao announced as she arrived without any trace.

The onlookers were shocked at her arrival, and Mo Chongsheng’s face became ugly.

"Jing Xiao, why are you here?" He inquired with a cold look.

Hearing him Jing Xiao shook her head with disdain.

"No wonder Chen’r said you are an idiot; look, everyone here knows I am here to help Chen’r, and yet a dignified sect master can’t even figure this out. You are bringing shame on all sect masters," she mocked.

"Jing Xiao! Don’t go too far! It is between me and him!" Mo Chongsheng shouted with red eyes.

Although he was angry at Ye Chen, he was just a weak Qi-gathering realm cultivator, which he could get rid of any time.

Once he was killed, the rumors will also disappear; hence, he didn’t lose his composure too much.

However, it would be different if Jing Xiao intervened. He was pursuing her, and this matter was known to the public.

If everyone got to know that she mocked him because of another man, he would’ve had no face left. Even after killing Ye Chen, he wouldn’t be able to remove this stain.

"Mo Chongsheng, am I going too far? Then what about you, who is bidding for an item from your own sect’s stall? If you have guts, then sell this item to someone at the original price, and they will conduct an auction for this," Jing Xiao replied with a sneer.

Hearing this, Mo Chongsheng’s face was red with anger. Clearly, he won’t do this; if not, he will face loss no matter the results.

"Xiao Xiao, why are you bickering with him? He doesn’t have the guts to do this. Also, no matter the price, I can afford that stone."

"Moreover, I am very respectful to seniors and won’t use any petty tricks like him to win," Ye Chen stated with a righteous look.

Watching him like this, Jing Xiao, Lan Ming, and Li Mei rolled their eyes at him.

If his actions were respectful, then there would be no bad people in the world.

The onlookers also thought the same.

However, Ye Chen ignored their reactions and glanced at the stall owner.

"I bid 1,000 mid-grade spiritual stones," he said with a calm look.

Hearing this, the onlookers were shocked and wondered if there was really any secret hidden in the stone.

Mo Chongsheng and Jing Xiao also thought the same; however, no matter what, they couldn’t find anything special.

"1,000 spiritual stones? Do you really have that much money? If you don’t, then you better prepare for consequences!" The stall owner shouted with an unpleasant look.

After all, Ye Chen was just a Qi-gathering cultivator; how much wealth could he have? Even if he was the sect master’s personal disciple, he didn’t think it would exceed a few hundred mid-grade spiritual stones.

Hearing him, Ye Chen remained calm and chuckled faintly.

"If your sect master doesn’t have that much money, then just admit it. Why bother playing such petty tricks?" He said and waved his hand.

In that instant, a golden light flashed, and ten thousand mid-grade spiritual stones appeared on the ground.

Witnessing this, the onlookers were all dumbfounded, and their eyes flashed with envy and greed.

"This is all the money I have, but it is enough to buy the stone, so you should announce the results now," Ye Chen stated.

Hearing him, the stall owner glanced at Mo Chongsheng, who was frowning in his thoughts while looking at the strange stone.

’Why is he not afraid of losing money on this?’ Mo Chongsheng muttered in his heart while taking a deep look at Ye Chen.

There was no sense of anxiety, and his gaze was calm like water. No one could guess what he was thinking.

Jing Xiao also glanced at him, wondering what he was up to.

Behind him, Li Mei and Lan Ming were also the same.

"1,100 mid-grade spiritual stones." Mo Chongsheng placed the bid after some hesitation, and not even a few seconds passed when he heard Ye Chen’s voice.

"1,500 mid-grade spiritual stones"

"1,600…"

"2,000…"

"2,100…"

"2,500..."

The bidding kept going on, making everyone dumbfounded. They had never thought that a simple stone would cost this much.

"8,000…"

"8,100…"

"8,500…"

As the bid amount reached higher and higher, Mo Chongsheng started hesitating. If Ye Chen bought this stone, then it won’t matter.

However, if he was the one, then he had to pay at least thirty percent of the amount to the great market.

This was the rule that applied for high transaction amounts, and everyone agreed to this. After all, the protection from powerhouses doesn’t come free.

If it were a few hundred mid-grade spiritual stones, he wouldn’t have minded, but a few thousand was a lot for him. Especially since the sect has recruited the new blood and is planning to groom them.

Just as he was hesitating, his eyes were attracted to the ten thousand mid-grade spiritual stones.

’The stone should be important to him; if not, he would’ve already given up on the bidding,’ he thought to himself, and after some hesitation, he decided to place one last bid.

"8,600 mid-grade spiritual stones," he declared with a calm look.

At this moment between the onlookers, a chubby guy arrived. He was eighteen years old and was extremely round. His head was shaved bald, and he held mala beads in his right hand while a worn-out book was in his left hand.

He wore a red kasaya, and his eyes looked spirited as he walked towards Mo Chongsheng with a calm look.

His arrival attracted the attention of everyone.

Just now they were focused, so they didn’t notice him. Of course, Ye Chen had seen him and Jing Xiao too.

As for Mo Chongsheng, he was busy thinking about how to get money from Ye Chen, so he failed to notice his arrival.

But when he found out, his expression turned black.

’Why is that bastard here?!’ he shouted inwardly with anger.

"Donor Mo Chongsheng, I am here to apologize," the buddhist disciple said with a serious look.

Hearing him Mo Chongsheng was stunned, but soon his expression eased, and he smiled.

"Haha, Li Zhenyuan, you don’t have to apologize; you are young, and it is easy to make mistakes. Just make sure next time you won’t joke around like this," he replied with a laugh.

However, Li Zhenyuan shook his bald head in denial.

"Donor Mo Chongsheng, I am here to apologize for my mistake but also to remind you of something," he stated with a serious expression.

"Oh, what is it?" Mo Chongsheng inquired with a curious look, wondering if someone behind him wanted to say something.

"It’s like this: I discovered that you have impure yang qi in your body. At first I thought it was because you visited the messy places."

"But after pondering for a little, I understood it was not you who visited such messy places but your wife," Li Zhenyuan reminded as he straightened his fat body.
