109 The auction Part-3 (1/2)

It has been almost two hours since the start of the auction, various items have been sold and Ryuu got to see some very heated bid wars between the participants.

”My Lord please enjoy this.”, Ino one of the attendant spoke to Ryuu as she presented a glass full of chilled orange colored juice.

Ryuu took the juice as he took a sip the cold fuzzy drink hit his mouth causing him to feel elated the drink had a tasted like an orange fruit but it was bubbly and fuzzy, ”This is wonderful drink what kind of fruit juice is this?”

Ino smiled as she replied, ”I am glad you were able to enjoy this fruit juice your Lordship, this is a local fruit known as 'Kinnow' fruit is a local fruit, it is rich in KI as such a favorite for cultivators.”

Ryuu nodded at that while inwardly thinking, 'It is tasty but unfortunately it is not useful for me KI contained by the fruit is like a drop in front of the ocean I require to advance to next stage.'

As he peered down towards the stage item number 7 was brought onto the stage a mesmerizing painting of an ancient battlefield as Ryuu looked towards the painting he saw as if the painting started to move he found himself standing on a battlefield surrounded by corpses the sky was red because of the setting sun as battle raged on and he watched with horror as men and beasts slew each other only to snap back into reality, the painting was hidden by cloth.

Ryuu found a hand on his shoulder as he turned to see a Sylvana looking at him with concerned eyes, ”Ryuu, are alright?”

Ryuu calmed his nerves as he controlled his breathing, ”I am now sister what was that?”

Antariskh, ”It seems a very powerful Array is placed on the picture which causes any person who looks at it to get trapped inside an array.” Ryuu nodded at that, but before he could speak Antariskh continued, ”Though it seems that the picture is actually a cover to hide something else, but the array is strong enough to even avoid detection by a low level Celestial, hmmm let us purchase it would be like giving out pearl to a swine if it were to be acquired by this people.”, she finished with a condescending tone.

Ryuu hated when his sisters looked down on others, no matter how high the level of the cultivator is once upon a time they were also at their level struggling their way to the top he wanted to tell his sisters to stop doing that but held his tongue after all no matter what they do they at the end of the day were not related to him he was just their parents student who was simply leeching off of them, as such he has no say in how they act, sometimes he wished his mother was still alive at least he did not have to grow up around strangers who did not have any blood relation with him after all family is family but unfortunately he was alone in this vast universe, those scums who shared his and his mother's blood did not count, he shook his head quickly dispelling his sad thoughts.

Lang Yazhu: ”Item Number 17, a painting named 'The Ancient Battlefield', a painting by an unknown painter discovered by our team while investigating an old tomb, this painting seems to have a miraculous way to temper ones will and heart through the use of an illusion, starting price for this picture starts at 600 low grade spirit stones.”
