Chapter 51 - Heaven Dou Auction(3) (2/2)

When he realized what Tang San said he was seriously shocked, but hearing what the auctioneer said made him almost vomit blood for spending so much cash,

”Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, I wish to inform you that the maker of these pills had sold us a batch of the same pills which would soon be auctioned next month at all our auction houses with the same amount of pills sold at each branch, the maker of these pills was the same person who sold the weapon Powder Shooting Shadow which was previously auctioned and he said that he comes from the Tang Sect, I hope that you would come to the next auction if you want to purchase the same set of pills and please inform your friends about it too”

Ning Fenghzi gave out a wry smile, this kid was too smart, he had baited him to increase the prices of the pills which were sold and create a hype in this auction, he would have noticed his intentions before itself but he had pulled all his attention onto the pills and made him think that they wouldn't be sold again making him bid for it without thinking.

”Haha, Kid, you've truly pulled one over me this time”

”Sorry about that, how about I compensate you for your troubles??”

”I spent nearly 35,000,000 because of you, if I had bid properly I would have spent only 25 or 30 million instead”

”Well, in that case, how about I give you this instead”

Saying that he took out a jade box, it was a box which could be bought anywhere but when he opened it a rich fragrance spread out from it, if he didn't close the box then they would have attracted the attention of everyone in the auction.

”This herb is called 'Beautiful Silk Tulip', it's an immortal herb and maybe the last of its kind in this continent, for others it may have a good effect on their body but for you it may as well be priceless, but even if I explain how important it would be to you, you wouldn't understand it yet so I'll just give it to you instead. There is a special method to use this herb but I'll leave that for you to figure out”

”Well though the herb has a good fragrance it doesn't seem that special but since it's a gift I'll happily accept it”

After he took the herb he kept it in his space ring and didn't bother about it anymore, he knew that he wouldn't place much importance to this herb yet but when he finds out the actual use of the herb he would have acknowledged it.

After that the auction proceeded as usual and when they saw that it was a girl being sold as the next 'item' it didn't sit well with them, she had a spirit variation due to which she had cat ears growing on her, Tang San who saw that was a little tempted to buy her but refrained in the end. He knew that Ning Fenghzi would buy her but she was proven wrong when he saw that he didn't bother with the bidding now he knew that he had f_u_c_k_e_d up since he had forced him to bid too much in the previous rounds of the auction he wants to save as much as he can now.

He then saw Hongjin and got an idea, he asked him,

”Don't you think that girl is pitiful??”

”Well we can't do anything, this is really common in the empire most slaves are raised from childhood but it seems that she was captured recently if I had the cash to spare then I would have surely bought her”

”Do you think we can buy her and set her free??”

”I wouldn't advise that, these girls have been stripped from their livelihood and even if you set them free they won't know how to survive as for this girls, just having those ears is enough for a lot of people to target her so even if you free her now it wouldn't matter much as she would end up being caught by someone else and would lose her freedom again”

”That's pitiful isn't it”

Ma Hongjin then said,

”Curse those fat nobles, how can they just ignore people's lives and treat them as pets”

”Well in that case, here you go, do what you want and do know that we only need to pay half”

Tang San handed his deposit card and told Ma Hongjin to bid if he wants and left everything to fate after that,

”B-Brother San, what is this??”

”Well don't you want to save her, this is me giving you a chance to do so”

”B-But why me??”

”Well it doesn't have to be you per se, but wouldn't it be nice to be a hero who saves the damsel in distress”

Saying that he just closed his eyes and left Ma Hongjin to choose, he only saved this girl because unlike the others she still had some will to live and he can't just go around saving every woman who needs help so he found the perfect scapegoat for this job. If Ma Hongjin knew what he was thinking then he would curse out loud, but he didn't so there was nothing he could do.

After thinking for a while Hongjin just grit his teeth and just placed a bid on the young girl, it was currently at 1,500,000 so he bid for 1,510,000. Soon after bidding for a while the final price rose up to nearly 1,640,000 which exceeded their deposit but since they only had to pay half he didn't bother about it.

Ma Hongjin gave Tang San the card back and gave out a sigh of relief, he had won but 820,000 was still a huge amount for him.

”Brother San, what should I do now??”

”Well since you bought her you should take care of her, she doesn't look too old around 11 or 12 years I guess, you can train her to be your maid or attendant and it seems that she's also a Spirit Master after seeing if she has any talent then you can even spend some resources on her to train her and you can even talk to Dean Flender and get her to work at the academy or something but it's all up to you so do whatever you want”

”Eh, but brother san didn't you pay for her shouldn't you be the one to decide??”

”Well technically you're the one who bid for her so you should be the one to take care of her and since you have so much free time these days you should be able to deal with all this”

Saying that Tang San just looked ahead not bothering to listen to Hongjin anymore. After that was done, they took away the cage and brought out a box which was covered by a red silk cloth, it looked quite grand so he didn't know what it was for, he remembered the guy from the auction house telling him that there would be two items which would be worthwhile to check out, this must have been the second item.

”Dear bidders this item was something which our auction house was able to find by luck and it wasn't easy to find, the starting price is set at 5,000,000 with each bid no lesser than 100,000”

He then unveiled the item and opened the box, seeing what was inside made Tang San have a huge gasp of air.
