Ancient Land Convenience Store - Chapter 9

Since Yang Jian and Heijiao agreed, the others also shouted, “Elder, you are wise!”

Luo Feng didn’t forget his business. He moved some broken chairs and a table out in front of the store and tapped on it heavily. “Well, since the rules have been set, let’s act according to the rules. All living creatures present can participate in the auction. The starting price is 500 merit.”

“550 merit!” Nezha immediately made a bid. This guy was a “rich second generation”. Naturally, he didn’t care about a mere 500 merits.

When a creature with a crocodile’s head heard Nezha’s offer, he immediately followed: “555 merit value.”

Luo Feng: “…”

You’re way too stingy! Nezha’s bid was 50 merits, but this guy only increased his bid by 5 merits. He is losing face for the demon race… Oh wait, I almost forgot. It’s already the end of the prehistoric era. The demon race is no longer as rich as before. He wouldn’t be able to compete with a rich second generation such as Nezha.

The creature with the crocodile’s head seemed to know that his offer was a bit embarrassing. He scratched his head with a claw and laughed awkwardly, “I’m really sorry. It’s been a bit tight lately, so…”

“Bah!” Someone spat and immediately raised the price to 600 merits.

As this was happening, Nezha murmured to Yang Jian, “Second brother, I received the news that my master, Immortal Taiyi, and other martial uncles are on their way here. If they arrive, I’m afraid they won’t have our share. We must win these three places today.”

Among the three, Yang Jian killed the most enemies. But the way of heaven doesn’t care whether those killed were enemies or not. As long as you take people’s lives, you will be tainted with karmic fire. Therefore, the karmic fire on Yang Jian’s three pointed halberd was the heaviest. He had no choice but to win a spot. As for Yang Chan… forget it, this little girl will certainly not let go of this opportunity.

After careful calculation, the three places were allocated in Yang Jian’s mind. So Yang Jian nodded fiercely. “Nezha, bid freely. Your second brother has lots of merit.”

“Alright!” Nezha shouted, “1000 merits!”

“Oh damn! That’s 1000 merits! How many good deeds would I have to do to earn 1000 merits?”

“One should really not compare to another! I have been in the mortal realm for a hundred years and only earned 200 merits. But now…”

Luo Feng glanced around and found that no one was offering a higher price for the first place, so he knocked on the table: “Deal!”

Hoo

Nezha and Yang Jian breathed a sigh of relief. Just as they were ready to participate in the second round of bidding, Luo Feng said, “Bring your magic treasure.”

Although Yang Jian didn’t know what Luo Feng meant, he handed over his three pointed halberd.

Just as before, Luo Feng removed the karma on the three pointed halberd with laundry powder in front of everyone.

Yang Jian took the three pointed halberd and swung it. He laughed loudly, “Great! Great! It’s even better than when it was freshly refined.”

Yang Jian waved the three pointed halberd several times, then bowed to Luo Feng in thanks. “Thank you Elder!”

“Okay, there are still two places. Let’s not waste time.” Luo Feng waved his hand casually and said, “Same rule. 500 merit starting. You should seize the opportunity!”

While saying this, Luo Feng glanced at Heijiao.

“600 merits.”

“700 merits.”

“1500 merits.”

This second place had reached 2000 merits before it concluded.

With fewer and fewer places, the competition became more fierce. What made Yang Jian wonder was that Heijiao didn’t participate in the auction from beginning to end, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Yang Jian didn’t know what Heijiao was thinking, but Luo Feng certainly did. There were three places in total, but Heijiao only had one magic treasure. As for why he didn’t compete for the first two places, it was because he wanted Yang Jian to waste merit early and try his best to win the last place today.

Luo Feng glanced at Nezha, who was eager to bid, and shook his head secretly. After all, he was still young. In terms of strategy, he could not compare with an old monster like Heijiao.

With a soft sound, the auction for the third place began. To Luo Feng’s surprise, Heijiao made a fierce move as soon as it started and directly raised the auction price to 2000 merits. Many creatures shook their heads.

2000 merits was not a small amount. They couldn’t compete at all.

Nezha and Yang Jian frowned when they heard Heijiao’s 2000 merit offer. This was just the beginning. Could Heijiao afford to play like this?

“No matter what, we must get this third place.” Nezha bit his teeth and roared, “2500 merit.”

“3000 merit value.” Heijiao followed immediately, giving people a feeling that he had to win the third place.

“3500…” before Nezhe could finish, Yang Jian covered his mouth.

After shaking Yang Jian’s hand away, Nezha asked, “Second brother, why are you stopping me?”

Yang Jian smiled bitterly, “Nezha, we can’t afford to give out this much merit.”

“So what if we don’t have enough, we can just rob…”

Yang Jian covered Nezha’s Zui with a bitter smile and said, “Elder, we give up.”

Luo Feng had expected this result. He raised his eyes and looked at Heijiao. He smiled and said, “Ancestor Heijiao, congratulations…”

“Wait!” A light rebuke came from the clouds. Yang Jian and Nezha’s faces brightened when they heard the sound, while Heijiao turned bitter and hurriedly said, “Elder, drop the hammer quickly!”

Luo Feng glared at Heijiao and said expressionlessly, “What are you talking about? Didn’t you hear someone say to wait?”
