Ji Yichi had immediately displayed her profound force to grab Ji Yuan's black diamond card.
As a saintess, this was an easy enough feat.
Of course, she could not perform this feat if Ji Yuan were to maintain his profound strength on his black diamond card.
But Ji Yuan was willing to allow her to inspect his black diamond card today.
When Ji Yichi had the black diamond card in her hand, she began to take out a profound device to inspect it.
As she was doing so, the thousands of cultivators were all laughing and jeering at Ji Yuan, even finger pointing in his direction.
"Boo!"
"Get lost!"
"How dare he takes out a fake card!"
"He is only a pretender…"
"What a charlatan!"
"Thrown him out of this place!"
However, Ji Yuan continued to grin as he was 'enjoying' his 'awesome' moments when the attentions of everyone were all upon him.
He was even rubbing his chin to look his best in front of the many beautiful maidens that were looking his way and he thought how awesome he must be looking at this moment.
The truth was that, most of the maidens were actually mocking him and not thinking how awesome he must be looking.
In their hearts, this Ji Yuan would be thrown out of the auction hall soon for offending Young Master Qiao Shandong and the others. And he would even be blacklisted in the Neko Trading City very soon too.
As Ji Yichi inspected the black diamond card with her profound device, she had suddenly turned very pale!
It was because this black diamond card was indeed the real deal!
And moreover, this was a black diamond card that had the highest VIP level and the holder of this black diamond card actually enjoyed a 30% discount instead of the usual 20%.
And the current value of this black diamond card was 2.73 billion spirit stones and the Neko Trading Guild had recently received this amount in its bank.
This was an incredible vast amount of spirit stones even by the super rich standards of the Endless Celestial Fraternity and moreover, it was in this single card.
There were actually two profound signatures in this black diamond card. One of them was naturally the Holy Oracle Maiden Yu Jingjing and the other one was of course this Ji Yuan.
Ji Yichi did not need to test if the profound signature in the black diamond card had actually matched this Ji Yuan; it was because when she had used her profound force to take this black diamond card earlier, her divine sense had already told her that the profound signature of this Ji Yuan matched the card.
The slender fingers of Ji Yuchi were actually trembling as she lifted her golden eyes to look in the direction of the grinning Ji Yuan.
The owner of this black diamond card was actually the Holy Oracle Maiden Yu Jingjing and she had heard that she was also the fiancée of the Holy Cultivation Emperor!
Ji Yichi was thinking to herself: Is he really the Holy Cultivation Emperor? It is impossible for him to be here. Isn't there a celebration banquet right now? Even the numerous elders of my Neko Trading Guild are there now. The Holy Cultivation Emperor shouldn't be here. The most important reason is of course the Holy Cultivation Emperor shouldn't be wearing such a ragged robe and his robe looks like a cheap profound robe and a roadside one that cost less than 1000 spirit stones…
As she was thinking to herself, there were numerous shouts from the thousands of cultivators who were shouting aloud, "Well, what the verdict? Get him out of here! Thrown him out! Blacklist him! Thrown him into the dungeon!"
Ji Yichi mustered her sudden weak voice to say loudly, "This black diamond card is real. This Ji Yuan indeed has the ability to bid for this celestial sword."
When she had said that, there were numerous shocks from the thousands of cultivators and even Young Master Qiao Shandong was looking extremely shocked.
Disbeliefs greeted everyone, including the Heaven Destiny Old Man.
"How could it be?"
"But he is in the bronze section…"
"He looks like a poor cultivator…"
There were many curious looks from among the cultivators as they wondered how much spirit stones this Ji Yuan really got.
All of a sudden, many of the maidens were smiling in Ji Yuan's directions and many of them were even saying, "I told you so! He is a rich cultivator trying to be a poor cultivator!"
"No, you didn't say that!"
"I was only testing if you know. I know it all along…"
Ji Yuan chuckled aloud, "I told you my black diamond card is here. So, shall I have my black diamond card back and we continue this auction?"
Ji Yichi quickly waved her fingers to display her profound force to return the black diamond card back to Ji Yuan.
As she was doing that, she quickly whispered to one of her attendants that were standing by the side. "Quickly capture a profound image of this Ji Yuan and send it to Elder Kunming who is at the Holy Cultivation Palace now. I want to know if this Ji Yuan is indeed the Holy Cultivation Emperor or not."
She did not know that the Great Saintess Hua Yunzi who was also from the same guild as her had actually known who Ji Yuan was.
Once that was done, she quickly said with great politeness, "Master Ji Yuan has bidded 700 million spirit stones. Who else wants to bid higher?"
Young Master Qiao Shandong muttered, "Who wants such a worthless heaven-step divine sword for 700 million spirit stones? I am not that crazy!"
It was obvious that he could not bid higher in this auction and he was trembling.
Ji Yichi raised her small hammer she hammered the bell, "Going once now…"
But still, no one bids for the divine sword.
Ji Yichi continued to say, "Going twice now…"
But still, no one bids for the divine sword and there was muted silence; 700 million spirit stones may be reasonable to bid for a celestial sword but only if they know the grade. But no one knows if this divine sword was a high grade or a low grade celestial sword. Moreover, this divine sword was still a heaven-step divine sword.
Therefore, bidding 700 million high grade spirit stones were still too much.
Ji Yuan was thinking to himself: Did I just bid 70 billion low grade spirit stones. I can buy the entire Five Heavens Peak with this fortune…
