Chapter 945 - Gathering at the Auction! (1/2)
“Okay!” Fang Qiu agreed at once.
He knew that Lin Rusheng needed this Heaven Treasure. But he needed it even more!
He had been doing some thinking about his own strength. Although he had re-cultivated to the eighth class with two opened meridians, he still felt that his progress was too slow.
Even though he had exerted himself, this was already the best he could achieve.
Since the last meeting with the old master, Fang Qiu had been telling himself that he must advance to the level of having two flowers in his Dantian before the Chinese Medicine Conference. But now, his re-cultivation had not even reached the ninth class, let alone the level of having two flowers in his Dantian!
Well, if Fang Qiu could make breakthroughs regardless of everything, he could totally soar to the Guru Realm in a short time.
However, he could not do it.
This was because he was subject to a particularly severe restriction in recultivating.
That was the amount of Heaven Treasures!
Heaven Treasures were really scarce. They could be found only by accident, but not through seeking.
He was already lucky enough to have obtained so many Heaven Treasures. If he wanted to get more, he had to seize every possible chance!
Fang Qiu had done some deep thinking regarding this issue.
After his battle with Lin Rusheng, whether he eventually won or lost, his strength would definitely be improved to the peak of the eighth class with two opened meridians. Then, if he wanted to make a breakthrough, he had to find a suitable Heaven Treasure.
In the past month, Fang Qiu had been troubled by this. He wondered where he should go to find a suitable Heaven Treasure to help him break through.
To his surprise, as soon as they set the date for the battle, the Ambergris Grass, a Heaven Treasure that was ranked eighth, was discovered.
For Fang Qiu, the appearance of the Ambergris Grass was like the first rain after a long drought.
Even Fang Qiu himself began to suspect if he was the son of God. He went to shoot a movie a month ago and luckily stumbled on a Heaven Treasure. Now, after only a month, another Heaven Treasure appeared!
“According to the description of the Scroll of Heaven and Earth Treasures, in addition to possessing strong Qi of Heaven and Earth, the Ambergris Grass also has a special effect—it can cleanse tendons and purify marrow.
“It can unlock a person’s greatest potential and improve one’s aptitude in martial arts cultivation!”
As he thought of this, Fang Qiu secretly took a deep breath.
He knew that due to the magical effect of the Ambergris Grass, the appearance of this Heaven Treasure would inevitably cause all the prominent families and major forces in Wulin to fight for it.
Because for them, one blade of the Ambergris Grass alone could very likely turn at least one of their members into a ninth-class or even a guru-level expert in the future!
Thus, the competition for the Ambergris Grass was bound to be extremely fierce.
“No matter what, I’m determined to have it!”
Fang Qiu clenched his fist with resolution.
Still, there were a few days to go before the auction took place. Fang Qiu must make thorough preparations during this period.
The next day.
Early in the morning, Fang Qiu disappeared from the cultivation base.
No one knew where he had gone.
Nevertheless, no one asked about his whereabouts, for they had long gotten used to it.
“Our boss always comes and goes without leaving a trace. It would be incredulous if he could stay in the base for a month in total per year.”
In the few days when Fang Qiu was gone, Wulin became more and more boisterous.
Soon, the fifth day arrived.
It was the first day of the auction held by the Chic Cloud Pavilion!
On this day.
Many martial artists on the Wulin online forum came to the capital specially for the auction. They gathered in front of the Chic Cloud Pavilion, hoping to witness this unprecedented auction with their own eyes.
The items on auctions were usually highly valuable, not to mention the ones that would appear on the auction held by the Chic Cloud Pavilion, the largest auction house in Wulin.
Today, the auction item was actually a piece of information.
This was unprecedented!
Of course, apart from the people who scrambled to the auction site and wanted to participate in and witness the whole auction, many also took the opportunity to start text live broadcasts on the Wulin online forum.
The reason why they only did text live broadcasts was that no one dared to film this auction without permission.
Everyone knew that the people who came to participate in the auction were all important figures from the prominent families and major forces in Wulin. These big shots didn’t like to be secretly photographed or filmed, so they could only do live broadcasts in text.
Otherwise, if they got caught in action by these big shots, they would be kicked out of the auction house or even get themselves into serious trouble!
In the evening.
In front of the Chic Cloud Pavilion with a stone table.
Since noon, a great number of people had gathered here.
As a result, the road that was not crowded suddenly became congested. All the parking spots on the street were taken. There was not a single spare spot that was available.
At first, nothing special happened.
However, when night fell, some plain-clothed policemen in the local police station noticed that something was wrong. Moreover, the people on the street all seemed to know one another. They immediately thought that it was an illegal gathering and quickly reported it to their superiors, asking if they should investigate.
As it turned out, not long after the report was made, some people who knew the inside story almost spat out the water they just drank.
This was the capital.
Even a small police station had a heavyweight figure supervising it.
These heavyweight figures more or less had some knowledge of this auction. Thus, when they learned that the police were going to deal with the gathering, they immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Is this a place they could interfere in?
Those who dare to gather there are all waiting to enter the auction house. The ones who are allowed to enter the auction house are certainly not ordinary people. Any one of them can easily vanquish a squad of policemen!
How can we mess with them?
Of course, if the policemen showed up in police uniforms, these Wulin people would definitely not dare to use violence against them. After all, they were officials. Yet, even so, the police could not afford to recklessly tread on the toes of these Wulin people.
Soon, an order was given.
“No matter what happens, do not interfere!”
Upon hearing this order, the lower-ranking policemen and the plain-clothed policemen who had found the gathering rather fishy were all puzzled. However, since their superior had issued the order, they dared not to disobey. They could only watch these people assemble there.
