Because…
It was the cheapest?
The sincere tone behind Lin Xiao's voice told Lin Yun that his brother was not lying. However, this kind of truth was… a bit too much. Thinking about their days back in the village where Lin Xiao would bargain until the end only made Lin Yun sighed.
He knew that his brother was someone who treasured money so much because their living condition was bad. But now that they already have so much money, there was no need for him to be so thrifty, right?
Unfortunately, he couldn't bring himself to say that and only looked at his brother helplessly.
Habits couldn't be changed so easily.
"Is there anything wrong?" Lin Xiao asked in confusion.
In his opinion, since he could get it with just increasing the price by one, why should he bother to increase the price so much? He wanted to save as much gold as possible and only buy it at the slight difference from the previous bidder.
"No… there's nothing wrong."
Sui Wenyan felt her mind blanked and she was unable to focus on the item at the stage right now. Seeing how helpless Lin Yun was, she finally realized that Lin Xiao was truly a very bad case of idiot.
'How did the Heaven even choose someone like him?'
She was speechless.
If only she hadn't seen for herself how Lin Xiao's talent was and the fact that even though he was an idiot, he had a heart, she might be thinking back of her decision. It was precisely because Lin Xiao was a truthful boy that she felt that he would be having difficult time when they reached the academy in the future.
There would be so many people who were eyeing the throne.
And they wouldn't hesitate to do anything to make sure that they would be the one getting the throne. Lin Xiao was a bit unreliable, so Sui Wenyan felt that she should do her best to make sure that Lin Xiao would be fine.
As she was thinking, the auction continued.
The items were getting more and more precious, which attracted the Foundation Establishment Cultivators to start biding for them. They were trying hard to make sure that they could win the items.
"Now, it's the next item, herb that many people seek but unable to get. As you might know, there are many herbs that are placed in a dangerous location and hard to find even if you have the strength. The places can be so dangerous that no one dared to get close unless they have reached certain stage.
The next item was precisely such. It's Night Yin Flower! I don't think there's any need for me to explain more about this item. For those who cultivate Yin type cultivation, this flower can help you in your cultivation greatly. Not to mention, there's even rumor that said using this flower can help you maintain your youthful face!"
The moment this was said, a lot of women's eyes turned sharp. They were looking at the flower at the stage with burning gaze. From the way it looked like, they were intent on claiming the flower for themselves.
The woman smiled in satisfaction when she saw their reaction. What many women wanted in their life was to remain beautiful for as long as possible. Because of that, there were many people who tried many kinds of method to maintain their youthful face.
"There are not many people who can obtain this Night Yin Flower, thus increasing the flower's rarity. It's our auction house's luck to be able to meet with someone who's willing to sell it. Now, we shall start the biding at the starting price of 10,000 gold coins. The minimum increment shall be 1,000 gold coins."
"11,000 gold coins!"

"21,000 gold coins!"
"30,000 gold coins!"
"40,000 gold coins!"
"56,000 gold coins!"
"61,000 gold coins!"
Hearing the price was hijacked so quickly, Lin Xiao was utterly stunned. He looked at the people who were willing to throw their money and felt like he was seeing madness. These people were willing to spend so much money just for the chance for them to become even more beautiful?
Mind you, he could hear that most of the bidders had high pitched voice. It meant that most of them were women who were trying to bid the items. He felt a bit stupefied right now.
Even Sui Wenyan's gaze flickered slightly. She was already very beautiful, but who didn't want to stay even more beautiful? Unfortunately, she understood the moment the price was stated that there was simply no chance for her to get it.
Rather than wasting so much money to buy herb that only give boost to her beauty, she should focus more on her strength.
By the side, Wenren Yu noticed Sui Wenyan's gaze and thought to himself that there was Beauty Pill. The pill was not that hard to make because the material was not that rare. However, the cultivation requirement was Golden Core Stage. Even if he wanted to, he would need to take a long time before he could make it.
'Then I'll make one for Wenyan in the future.'
With that in thought, Wenren Yu browsed the list again. He wanted to know if there was any of the material sold here. Unfortunately, there was none.
"10 Low Grade Spirit Stones!"
When the price was changed to spirit stones, Lin Xiao was stunned. He turned his head to look at Sui Wenyan. "You can change the currency?"
"Hmm? Oh yes, you can. It's actually quite common for them to change the price to Spirit Stones since they're more valuable than gold," Sui Wenyan replied with a smile. "Unfortunately, only the richest would be able to use it."
"Hmph! Only that much? 11 Low Grade Spirit Stones!"
The high pitched tone sounded from the VIP room. Some people glanced over while the others furrowed their brows. From their reaction, it seemed that the one inside that VIP room was well known.
"That's Fan Family daughter, right?"
"That Fiery Princess?"
"Yes. I didn't expect her to have interest in Night Yin Flower too. I thought that she's cultivating Yang type of cultivation."
"Well, she's still a girl. Besides, she might need more Yin?"
The people around them began to gossip and Lin Xiao was listening with curiosity. He looked in the direction of the VIP room as a bizarre thoughts occurred inside his mind.
