Chapter 52 - Heaven Dou Auction(4) (1/2)

The item when removed from the box gave out a blue light which enveloped the entire room, it was probably made from sapphire or a similar jewel but it let out a bright aura which made everyone have a calm sense of mind.

”This blue pyramid-shaped gem was found by one of the auction house masters, he had found this near a sea city where Sea Spirit Masters were quite abundant. This was found in a tribe which worshipped this as their god due to the light it gave out. We haven't been able to find out what abilities it has apart from letting one have a calm atmosphere for a long period of time but just from this, we can see that it is an extraordinary spirit tool, 5,000,000 is a small sum to pay for such a great tool”

When the auctioneer said the use of the item Tang San spit out blood, quite literally in fact. Ma Hongjin who saw him spitting out blood panicked but soon calmed down after Tang San said that he was fine. He had naturally recognized this item, it was the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud or to be more specific the Sea God's Heart.

Saying that its ability was to let one enter a calm state of mind was complete nonsense, if acknowledged by it, one could obtain the permission to undergo the Sea God's Nine Trials!! He had to get this item no matter what, even if he had to even sell everything he had.

Without waiting for anyone he just called out his bid - 18,360,000 gold coins this was all the amount of cash he had with him right now, when the auctioneer saw the first bid he was truly shocked, this was quite a sum for an unknown spirit tool.

Even Ma Hongjin and Ning Fenghzi were shocked by Tang San's outrageous bid, Ning Fenghzi even looked at the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud once more to see if he had missed anything but when he saw that he was unable to find out he just gave up but then his spirit gave out a response.

When he felt that he was shocked, this item made his spirit want to bow down to it, though the feeling was quite weak since it wasn't activated by spirit power yet, for a person as experienced as Ning Fenghzi how could he not miss this feeling from his very own spirit. But just as he was about to bid for this item,

”18,260,000 gold coins to the person in the white area thrice, sold”

Faced with such an offer everyone had backed out so the auctioneer had hastily declared Tang San as the winner afraid that he would back out. But to Ning Fenghzi this was a total loss, he had actually lost to a kid twice in a row on the same day, this was truly embarrassing.

”Kid, I'll pay you 20,000,000 gold coins for this item will you sell it to me??”

He still tried to buy it off him, but seeing Tang San not even paying attention to him and deeply staring at the item on the platform he just gave a wry smile and didn't bother anymore.

But Ma Hongjin who heard that was shocked, to him though it made one have a calm feeling allowing them to enter into a deep state of meditation it was still useless as this could be easily achieved if one is slightly talented enough. He seriously didn't understand why his brother would pay nearly 10,000,000 gold coins for this useless spirit tool and why some random middle-aged man would even pay up 20,000,000 gold coins to buy that same useless spirit tool, to him the world had gone mad.

…

After placing the bid Tang San had immediately left the auction hall not bothering about any of the items showing up next, he was guided to a private room along with Ma Hongjin and Ning Fenghzi, he had requested to come with the two of them seeing that he had no negative intentions he agreed.

The slave girl along with a big black box was given to Tang San, he let Ma Hongjin handle the girl while he was deeply interested in the black box. He saw Ning Fenghzi show an envious expression towards the black box but he soon covered it up and didn't bother with it anymore.

”You are truly a talented and lucky man”

Saying that he just let out a huge sigh, he then saw the attendant bring a tray with a few bottles made of Jade, Copper, Silver, and Gold along with a black box having quite a lot of holes on it. These were the Poison Shooting Shadow and the various pills he had won in the auction. Since he was in the same room as Tang San he had requested them to bring his items as well.

After checking the items he asked whether he can buy the production methods to this weapon to which Tang San politely declined, but Tang San told him one thing in the end,

”Remember that the herb I gave you is called Beautiful Silk Tulip and don't consume it directly or try to experiment with it carelessly, it's a very very rare herb so don't waste it”

Seeing Tang San's serious expression he also became a little serious and nodded his head but after going out he was a little taken aback, when he was talking to him he felt as if he was talking to someone who was of an equal standing as him, no he was forced to talk and behave that way, thinking that he was a little perplexed, how could someone so young as him make him feel that way, then he remembered another important thing, he was unable to see through that kid's cultivation.

His spirit the Seven Treasured Pagoda was a special spirit which was able to completely conceal the owners cultivation such that even a title douluo was unable to see through them and at the same time it was able to see through someone else's cultivation, but he realised that he was unable to see through the kid's cultivation and for some reason whenever he thought of this topic Tang San had diverted his attention by asking questions about the auction or randomly starting up a conversation as if it were the most natural thing to do so, the more he thought about this the more he felt as if he was being controlled by a small kid.

”Fenghzi should we go or do you still want to talk to that kid??”

While he was still thinking about all that had happened during the auction he heard a voice call out to him. When he turned around and saw who it was he greeted him and said,

”Uncle Chen, I'm sorry I didn't notice you coming, I was thinking about something else”

”Were you thinking about that kid you were with during the auction??”

”Yes, Did you also feel something was weird??”

”I felt so from the start but you confirmed it now, I can't believe I'm saying this but I wouldn't want to face that kid as an opponent at all, he's around Rongrong's age but I felt like I was looking at those old monsters from my time. When he entered the auction he was looking around to search for a place to sit but when he saw you he didn't bother searching and came and sat right next to you, I think he was planning on using you to raise the prices of his items along with make you spend as much money as you can and when he confirmed that you didn't have enough money he had started bidding, no he was forced to bid, his first bid was that cat girl and he didn't directly bid instead he let his friend bid making you let down your guard against him… It's either that or we're both thinking too much, Oh right! He gave you something didn't he??”

”Yes, he gave me this weird flower, he told me it was an immortal herb called Beautiful Silk Tulip, can you hold onto it for me Uncle Chen, I feel like it's important but...”

”But your afraid that you're being played right??”

”Sigh... Yes”

”I don't blame you, give it to me I'll hold it for you, Oh!, I almost forgot, Old Bone told me that Rongrong came back, so we should go back to the clan as soon as possible”

”Oh, that little she-devil came back? It seems that she missed home after being away for so long or she got bored of the outside world and just came back to wreak havoc in the clan”

”She asked a strange request after coming back, she apparently wanted to meet the head of any blacksmithing clan and wanted to mass-produce some weapons apparently”
