Chapter 143 – The Dragon Scale Shield

(Mustang: Hey guys, this is the fifth regular chapter for this week.)

Long Xiang Tian’s announcement had left a lot of people breathless, and the frenzied bidding process started again.

“Fifteen thousand spars!”

“Eighteen thousand spars!”

“Twenty thousand spars.”

……

The price was rising at an alarming speed.

Soon, the life prolonging Dan’s price had already crossed fifty thousand spars, and now the bids were only being made by the powerful martial Sects.

“Fifty-thousand spars.” Luo Xiao Tian bid. His eyes were red, and he simply couldn’t wait to kill off his rivaling bidders.

Luo Xiao Tian’s bid was opposed by a ‘sixty thousand’ bid from the Ba Gua sect.

The bids were still being raised, and it was obvious that the life prolonging Dan was going to fetch a very high price.

“Eighty thousand spars!” Xuan Yuan Ling Feng from the Wu Ji Sect made his bid.

As the prices continued to rise, many of the Sects were forced to withdraw. Even though they didn’t wish to fall back, but were left with no other option, since they didn’t have enough financial backing to continue bidding.

“Eight five thousand spars.” The City’s Sect raised the bid again.

“Ninety thousand spars.” The rising sun Sect wasn’t willing to give up just yet.

“One hundred thousand spars!” the Tian Shui Sect was doing its part as well.

Finally, the competition was left to the top-five sects of the Jiu Yu City. The top-five of the Jiu Yu City were the City’s Sect, The Rising Sun Sect, the Wu Ji Sect, the Tian Shui Sect, and the Quinyang Sect.

Once the price crossed a hundred thousand spars, even the top-five sects didn’t seem to be competing for the Dan with as much ferocity as they were earlier.

At this point, the heads of the top five sects looking at the counterparts, and were hoping that their allies, within the competition, would back away from making any further bids.

In reality, they were all making the bids for the item with the hope of procuring it for their personal use, since the life prolonging Dan was a rare item.

Ling Xin Ya also wanted to buy the life prolonging Dan, but didn’t have enough resources to participate in this bid, and was staring at the others enviously.

Bi Fan and the other Neimen disciples weren’t very interested in the life prolonging Dan, since they still had a lot of time left in their natural life span, and didn’t really feel the need to get an extra hundred years at this point. They just stared at their leaders as they continued to bid madly for the item.

The price was finally settled at the one hundred and eighty seven thousand spars, and the life prolonging Dan was eventually purchased by Xuan Yuan Ling Feng of the Wu Ji Sect.

Xuan Yuan Ling Feng was quite excited on procuring the life prolonging Dan, and continued to eye Luo Xiao Tian provocatively.

Lou Xiao Tian still wanted to buy the Dan, but was forced to back away due to lack of funds.

“The next item for today’s auction is top-grade armor! – A bladed armor. The price for this item is reserved at fifty thousand spars; bidders may increase the price by one thousand spars.” Long Xiang Tian announced in a loud voice.

Each item was being sold for a value much higher than its market price, and Long Xiang Tian seemed quite excited with the proceedings at this point, since he was bound to make a huge amount of profit at the end of the day.

Defensive equipment is always considered more valuable than weapons, because saving one’s life always takes priority.

In this world, no matter how strong you are, once you’re dead, you’re nothing.

The bladed armor was sky blue in color. The beautiful armor’s texture seemed to resemble the waves of an ocean.

This was a unisex armor, and the eyes of all the men and women lit up upon seeing it.

Moreover, since it was a top-grade armor, its defensive capabilities were obviously quite good as well.

Bi Fan already had the sky-blue suit, and the soft armor, in his possession, which were more than sufficient for him. Unless he was faced with a ‘spirit’ grade weapon, his defense was more than taken care of.

Jing Feng was staring at the item, and his eyes were clearly expressing his desire for the armor on sale.

Unfortunately, the bladed armor was too expensive, and Jing Feng didn’t have enough money. It was simply impossible for him to participate in this bid.

And unlike Bi Fan, Yu Qing Yang didn’t attach so much value to Jing Feng, which is why it was unlikely that he’d give Jing Feng a piece of an high grade armor like this one.

“Grandpa, can you help me buy that armor?” Luo Sheng asked with a shine in his eyes.

“Let’s see how it goes.” Luo Xiao Tian said in a calm voice.

Luo Xiao Tian had really spoilt Luo Sheng, and had already given him a high grade weapon to fight with.
