The Founder of Qi Cultivation, Reincarnates?

"THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION HIGH-GRADE SPIRIT STONES!!!"

Crack! Bam!

Gu Jin was so furious his anger built up until he couldn't hold it in anymore. He nearly deafen everyone in the Auction House when he barked out his bid, he also disintegrated the chair he was sitting on with his palms when he stood up abruptly.

Gu Jin's eyes were glaring piercing daggers across the Auction House towards Mai Rong who was casually resting one foot over the other. She seemed unbothered by Gu Jin's anger as she said slowly.

"Three hundred sixty million high-grade spirit stones."

"Mai Rong, you are going too far with this joke of yours and I'm beginning to run out of patience."

One could hear the threat in Gu Jin's voice although he did not mention taking any action.

The tension in the Auction House could be severed in half by a sword from how thick it was.

The other disciples in the Auction House had long gone silent; even a pin could be heard if it was dropped right now. They were unwilling to admit they were inferior to both Mai Rong and Gu Jin, but how could they not have apprehension for these two?

Somewhere in the back of their minds, a voice was saying not to draw attention from these two. Some had already resolved to fight for the Soul Nourishing pill no matter what, but others had completely given up on the idea after learning more about Gu Jin and Mai Rong as well as seeing how they acted personally.

It was hard to not be intimidated, not only by their wealth but as well by the fact they were from the powerful Water Bound and Fire Bound Continent. This was not even mentioning the aura that was leaking from Gu Jin as he glared at Mai Rong.

Everyone could vaguely tell he was in the late stage of the Core Formation Realm, he might even be at the Peak of said realm.

Gu Jin was so close to entering the Nascent Realm but he hadn't reached twenty yet, just how talented was he?

Only the Three Peaks of the Maple Continent, as well as the Legacy Disciple of the Profound Sword Sect and elder brother of Lu Shin, Lu Xue Feng, had ever accomplished this feat in the two Continents' history.

But not only Gu Jin, but Mai Rong also seemed to possess this level of unmatched talent.

Even Lu Shin was looking at Gu Jin with a solemn expression. Despite the fact that Gu Jin hadn't released his cultivation base fully, from what Lu Shin could sense Gu Jin wasn't any weaker than himself. Mai Rong would be the same as well.

'Though my cultivation is only in the Early Core Formation Realm, I won't find it hard to battle Peak or even Quasi Nascent Soul Realm cultivators if I truly went all out. But with my current comprehension of the sword, could I defeat those two?'

Lu Shin was seriously asking himself this question, but even after much thought the couldn't come to a conclusion.

For Lu Shin, his cultivation talents weren't in how fast he could cultivate. In fact, he only possessed a Sky-grade Innate Talent. This would put him among the mid or close to the Top Geniuses, but nowhere near number one.

His talents lay in his Comprehension that was at the Supreme-grade!

A lot of people didn't know this outside of his Lu Clan, but it was always speculated. However, not only was Lu Shin born with Supreme-grade comprehension but a Sword Spirit Body as well!

This kind of terrifying combination allowed him to defy any metric of measuring someone's talent for Comprehension. And as someone from a Sword Clan, Lu Shin focused all of that comprehension talent on understanding the profound Sword Dao.

It was no wonder he could beat late-stage Foundation cultivators with a few swings of his sword while being in the early-stage of the Foundation Realm himself. And it was no wonder he could replicate this while being in the Core Formation Realm.

The strength of his sword defied all logic.

However, even with this in mind, someone like Lu Shin who had these heaven-defying talents was unsure whether he could defeat Gu Jin or Mai Rong in a battle.

They weren't like the people he had fought before, they were monsters; monsters that should be treated as a threat by everyone here.

So even Lu Shin opted to not get in between Gu Jin and Mai Rong at the moment.

Yang Su and the others thought about bidding, but Lihua shook her head. It wasn't that they were afraid to bid, but given that they had a Divine Fire Spirit Stones mine, bidding on these six wasn't worth it.

Within this tension-filled Auction House, Mai Rong and Gu Jin took the spotlight as they went head-to-head.

Mai Rong's voice that was as calm as a lake said.

"Gu Jin, I knew you were despicable but now that you've threatened me in front of all these respectable disciples, they too know how nefarious you can be."

Grit.

Gu Jin gritted his teeth so hard a harsh grinding sound softly echoed out.

"What do I have to do to make you back down?"

"Hand over the fan you took from our last fight."

Mai Rong didn't hesitate to state her demands as if anticipating this outcome.

Gu Jin hearing this scoffed and said.

"That's impossible, I'd rather cut off my arm!"New n𝙤vel chapters are published on

Gu Jin was extremely prideful as well as arrogant. Being forced to return something he had won, and that was now his, was as humiliating as it could get for him.

He truly meant it when he said he would rather cut off his arm.

"Then do it, remove your arm and hand it over."

Mai Rong said this with a hint of coldness in her voice.

"Three hundred and seventy million high-grade spirit stones."

Gu Jin ignored her and increased the bid.

"Three hundred and eighty mil-"

"Four hundred million high-grade spirit stones!"

"Four hundred and ten mil-"

"Four hundred and fifty million high-grade spirit stones!!"

"Four hundred and sixty million high-grade spirit stones."

"You-"

Gu Jin went to curse, but he was so angry he could finish his words. Even after increasing the bid by fifty million Mai Rong was still unwilling to back down.
