Chapter 144 – The Green Bladed Sword

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

Three million can be regarded as a pretty high price for that Dragon Scale Shield, but was still quite likely to be revamped soon.

“I will give four million spars.” The Tian Shui Sect placed their bid once again, and raised the price by a straight one million spars, clearly indicating their spending power.

Bi Fan and Jing Feng were staring in awe. Bi Fan, especially, had been carrying the idea that he was quite rich, after the fortunes that he collected in the Devil’s Abyss, but now, he was beginning to realize just exactly how poor he was in reality.

“This is crazy!” Bi Fan exclaimed: “That shield isn’t worth that much; I don’t understand why they are fighting so much over it.”

Bi Fan couldn’t help but think of the time when he had visited the Tian Feng valley, and had picked up the soft armor. Even though the soft armor’s core didn’t have a nucleus at the moment, but it was capable of having one inscribed. If he managed to inscribe the armor with a nucleus, and then put it up for auction here, he’d definitely be able to sell it for over one million spars.

However, that armor was his life insurance policy, and he wouldn’t put it up for an auction unless he had a better one.

“That’s a pretty good shield, and even the ‘Emerging from the Womb’ layer martial artists don’t usually have such a high grade defense equipment. Even the elders of some sects aren’t able to obtain such items for personal use.” Jing Feng smiled.

Jing Feng was quite envious at the moment. This dragon scaled shield would work perfectly with his Hegemon Pike, and would make him even harder to beat.

“Five million spars.” Xuan Yuan Ling Feng raised the bid, as he demonstrated that he was capable of spending the money.

“Five point five million spars.” Ling Xin Ya unexpectedly placed a bid.

As long as the Wu Ji Sect was bidding, Ling Xin Ya wouldn’t reconcile to submitting either.

Luo Xiao Tian stared at Ling Xin Ya to express his dissatisfaction, since Ling Xin Ya had placed the bid without his approval.

Xuan Yuan Ling Feng fiercely stared at Ling Xin Ya as he placed a new bid: “The Wu Ji Sect bids six million spars for the Dragon scaled shield.”

Xuan Yuan Ling Feng’s face was becoming more and more fierce, but no one seemed to be scared of him.

“Six point one-five million spars.” The rising sun Sect also got involved again.

“Seven million spars!” The Tian Shui Sect placed another bid.

Out of the top-five Sects, only the City’s Sect wasn’t bidding, while the other four continued to battle each other, and the price of the item soon crossed ten million spars.

Ten million spars were enough to buy even the best of items in the open market, and was far too much for this dragon scaled shield.

At this point, only the Tian Shui Sect and the Wu Ji Sect were competing for the item. The Tian Shui Sect wasn’t allowing the Wu Ji Sect to buy the shield, and would add another five hundred thousand spars to their bid, each and every time, to show their interest in the shield.

“Eleven million spars!” Xuan Yuan Feng said in a cold tone. If eyes could kill, then he’d have extinguished the Tian Shui Sect a long time ago.

“Eleven point five million spars.” Tian Shui’s deputy, Hong Fei Hu said in a flat voice.

Although her tone was dull, it didn’t mean that she wasn’t interested in the shield. (Gender isn’t clear, but there’s a slight indication that Hong Fei Hu is a female.)

Xuan Yuan Ling Feng gritted his teeth and said: “I’ll go for twelve million spars.”

“Twelve point five million spars.”

Xuan Yuan Ling Feng clenched his teeth as he said in an undertone: “Tian Shui Sect, I’ll let you have this Dragon scale shield, but the final item, the ‘spirit’ grade weapon, is mine to take.”

As Xuan Yuan Ling Feng abandoned the pursuit of the shield, the heads of the Sects started looking around to check if someone else was also interested in the item, but no seemed to show any further interest.

“Twelve point five million spars, going once!” Long Xiang Tian paused for a second, since he was still hoping that someone would make another bid.

“Twelve point five million, going twice!”

“Twelve point five millions, going thrice! The Dragon scale shield goes to the Tian Shui Sect!” Long Xiang Tian announced in a loud voice.

Hong Fei Hu just smiled, but didn’t show her excitement.

It was very vital for the top five sects to procure such powerful equipment, because each addition item would add to the power of their arsenal, and could help them in outdoing their rivals.
