Chapter 52 - Heaven Dou Auction(4) (2/2)
”That's odd, so what did Uncle Bone do then??”
”What else, he went and brought in that Tai Tan from the strength clan and he's been staying at the Seven Treasures Clan for a while… unwillingly”
”... Sigh, She's really a problem child not giving me any rest after coming back, Oh right when did she come back then??”
”A week or two back apparently… and Tai Tan's been a… guest at our place for a while… we should go back as soon as possible, that old bone's been playing with Rongrong for an entire week, I can't let him monopolize her or she might like him more than me”
”... You should be more worried about Tai Tan instead Uncle Sword”
…
After getting the cat girl and the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, Tang San and Ma Hongjin were waiting for the money which they were supposed to receive from their items. The total was 46,000,000 gold coins with no amount needed as payment to the auction, but they would still make more money later on as they've barely sold anything from the pills they have, they should have only sold 1/200th of the pills they have so they stand to gain more later on and with the promotion they would do for the next few auctions along with the various clans who would attend their auctions they might get 1,000,000,000 for the same number of pills instead.
25% of that would be 250,000,000 gold coins seeing what they stand to earn from the later auctions, 4.6 million gold coins would be nothing for them. Seeing in that perspective they would be the ones earning but instead, it was Tang San who would be the actual winner of this bargain. The pills they were selling were nothing more than cheap stuff compared to the ones he had, he wasn't an 8 - Star Alchemist for no reason.
While Tang San was quietly waiting for the money, Ma Hongjin was getting to know the young cat girl, Tang San was also paying attention to the conversation,
”So what's your name??”
”M-My name is Xiao Mao, I-I'm 11 years old this year, Master”
”Quite a cute name for you did your parents give you that name??”
”N-No, it's what the people from the auction house call me, Master”
”My name is Ma Hongjin and this is my big brother Tang San, you don't need to call us master or anything like that, you can call us Brother Ma or Brother San or anything else you want to”
”Y-Yes, Brother Ma, Brother San”
”You're a Spirit Master right?? What's your current rank??”
”Yes, I'm a Rank 24 Spirit Grandmaster, Strength, and Agility Type, they said my spirit is a variation of the White Tiger spirit but they didn't say any more than that, so I'm not sure what type of spirit it is myself”
When they heard this, they both became quite interested and when they saw the odd colored eyes one blue and one green similar to the white tiger while instead of the red it was green instead due to the variation, whitetail and an unknown cat type spirit, they could see how it was related to the White Tiger Spirit which Dai Mubai had.
”Where did you live before you were caught by the auction hall??”
”One year ago I used to live in the Star Lou Empire with my parents, but one day people from the Heaven Dou Empire attacked our village and I was captured along with a few other girls and were sent to the auction house as slaves, I wasn't allowed to cultivate after that so I didn't have any improvement in my cultivation due to that”
Tang San then asked her a question,
”Are you related to the Star Lou Royal Family by any chance??”
”N-No, I, my mother, and father used to live in the village, my mother was a normal housewife while my father was a hunter in our village”
”What spirits did your mother and father have??”
”My mother had a Needle as a spirit so she used to do embroidery work in the village and my father had a Tiger as a spirit but both of them couldn't cultivate so I don't think he was related to the royal family in any way”
”I see, well you don't need to worry about the auction house anymore, Ma Hongjin bought you from the auction and he isn't a bad person so he won't mistreat you in any way. He's a student at the Shrek Academy and one of their top students too plus he's quite handsome”
”Haha, that's right I'm one of Shrek's Seven Devils we're the strongest students in Shrek and I'm the most handsome male in Shrek too”
”Shrek Academy?? Mas-... Brother Ma are you a student??”
”Yes, I'm also the direct disciple of the Dean so as long as you pass the entrance exam you will also be admitted to the academy”
”I-I can be a student at Shrek too?? Am I allowed to cultivate??”
”Yes, you're allowed to cultivate and it seems that you have some talent too so you shouldn't worry too much about failing the entrance exam. As long as you train diligently like your Big Brother Ma then you can easily pass the test”
Hearing that Tang San couldn't help but cough out loud, soon an attendant from the auction came to the room and gave them the money while thanking him and hoping to form some connections or partnership in the future.
They left the auction house and Tang San along with Ma Hongjin went back to the Academy, of course, Xiao Ma also followed them. Tang San had originally planned to head out to go and hunt for spirit rings but he changed his plans when he saw the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, he planned to first absorb this and only then leave Heaven Dou City.
