Chapter 206: Two Thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones

The Middle-aged Man was a Martial Ancestor Expert of the Qu Family, and also the head of the Qu Family; with the Ziyun Auction being such an important event, he naturally had to be present to oversee it.

"Father, isn't our Qu Family allies with the Zhang Family?" the Young Man asked.

This was an open secret throughout all of Chenyang City; why did his father say that the Qu Family and the Zhang Family were hostile toward each other?

The Middle-aged Man smiled and said:

"Jun'er, in the past our Qu Family and the Zhang Family were allies, but after the Sima Family was destroyed, we were no longer allies."

"One mountain cannot contain two tigers; with only our Qu Family and the Zhang Family left in Chenyang City, how could we possibly still be allies?"

"There are no permanent allies, only permanent interests!"

The Young Man looked thoughtful and said: "Thank you for your guidance, Father!"

The Middle-aged Man continued: "Jun'er, do you know? The private room competing against the Zhang Family also has a significant background."

"A significant background?" The Young Man grew confused, then flattered him: "In all of Chenyang City, only you and the Zhang Family Head are at the Martial Ancestor Realm. No matter how big their background is, could it be greater than yours, Father?"

The Middle-aged Man shook his head and said: "You are not young anymore; it is time for you to learn some of the secrets of Chenyang City. Chenyang City does not just have two Martial Ancestors; the Pill Alliance has quite a few Martial Ancestors."

"The director of our Pill Alliance in Chenyang City is at the Martial Ancestor Realm in cultivation, and with Pill Dao Strength at the Pill Spirit Realm, he is far more noble than your father."

"It is just that they have no interest in interfering with the Power struggles of Chenyang City."

The Young Man was unable to process this news for a moment; it turned out that in all of Chenyang City, it wasn't just his father and the Zhang Family Head who were Martial Ancestors; the Pill Alliance also had Martial Ancestors.

"Why do you think the Zhang Family and our Qu Family are so respectful toward the Pill Alliance? Is it merely because of the Power behind it?"

"You must know that strength speaks everywhere; only strength can earn respect."

The Middle-aged Man added.

"Yes, Father, I understand," the Young Man said respectfully.

The Middle-aged Man chuckled: "The Zhang Family is in for a good show this time; they have offended a Martial Ancestor for no reason."

"One thousand one hundred!" The private room next to Qin Ming began bidding again, causing the entire auction house to quiet down even more.

Qin Ming frowned and shouted directly: "Alright, if you want to raise the price, be bold. Adding one hundred, one hundred at a time is too troublesome. I bid two thousand."

Jue Wuya was a bit startled and said: "Qin Ming, is this necessary? It is just a spirit plant; why offer such a high price?"

Qin Qing also began to count on her fingers; her monthly allowance had increased a bit, and it was now one hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones per month.

And two thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones was twenty thousand times one hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones; it would take her two thousand years to be able to afford this price.

"Brother! You have to give me some Spirit Stones. You have so many Spirit Stones, yet you still make your little sister scrimp and save; it really is…" Qin Qing was thinking of words to mock her brother.

Qin Ming directly interrupted:

"Rest assured, when has your brother ever shorted you on Spirit Stones? I will give you two High-Grade Spirit Stones in a moment."

It was not that Qin Ming was unwilling to give more, but rather that having too many Spirit Stones was not a good thing for Qin Qing; it was too dangerous.

Upon hearing that her brother was going to give her two High-Grade Spirit Stones, which was twenty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, Qin Qing was overjoyed and said happily:

"I knew Brother was the best."

Qin Ming patted his little sister's head and smiled: "Just a moment ago you wanted to speak ill of your brother; how did you change your tune so quickly?"
