68 The five great treasures (1/2)

Every time the auction was held, the final five treasures would be in a league of their own. In fact, the other items that came up for auction, while precious, were still within the reach of the major forces. It might be a bit difficult, but any of the people in the VIP seats could definitely find the other items.

But the final five items were different. They were unique and rare items that were nearly impossible to find, and could only be found by luck. Most of the people here were only here for these final five items.

Zhang Tianyi laughed as he looked around. He could feel the gazes of all the people in the auction house heating up. They were excited about the final five items. All five of them were currently situated on the stage in identical looking boxes. Each of these boxes were made of highly refined gold essence, and sparkled under the lights.

”Even though it is fun to tease you guys, I am not that cruel.” Zhang Tianyi said with a chuckle. ”The first of the five items is this.” Saying so, he opened the box at the far left of the stage. At first, they were all blinded by the light inside the box, but when it subsided, they were all stunned. Inside the box was a small book.

”The first item up for auction is a martial technique.” Zhang Tianyi said. Seeing the confusion in the eyes of the people here, Zhang Tianyi laughed inside his heart. ”This martial technique is a very rare movement technique called fleeting cloud steps. The people who practice this technique can reduce their body weight and move very fast. As you know flight is possible only after reaching the soul step. The people who practice this technique can even float or even fly for a few minutes, once this technique is practiced to its peak even at the qi step. And this is the fraction of the technique corresponding to the qi condensation realm. The fraction of the technique corresponding to the foundation establishment and core formation steps are being auctioned in the corresponding auctions right now.”

All the people who heard this was still confused. The abilities described were impressive, but they weren't enough for the skill to be precious enough to be the main attraction of the auction. After all the major forces all had at least one skill that was similar to it.

Zhang Tianyi paused for a while, and then he concluded with a smile. ”And the most important thing about this technique is that it is a ninth rank technique.”

The moment his words landed, the auction house erupted. Even though they had many many techniques in their libraries, a ninth ranked movement technique was rare. It might even be the case that none of them had a ninth ranked movement technique.

Even Bai Yun was surprised by the revelation. Even he viewed a ninth ranked technique very highly. After all, the strongest martial technique he developed in this life was only at the ninth rank too. And it was a sword technique developed by someone who had comprehended the sword dao to the god step too.

But in the end, Bai Yun decided to simply let it go. If it was anything else, he might have been interested in it, but the technique just happened to be a movement technique. The one technique that he did not need was movement techniques. After all, he had not even mastered the Assassin Gods movement technique, which was a tenth ranked technique. In front of it, all other movement techniques would be trash.

Suddenly Bai Yun felt some movement next to him. He turned around, only to see Zhang Zi standing next to him. Even though he was asleep, he had somehow heard about the movement technique and woken up. Bai Yun's lips twitched as he thought about it.

”The auction starts at ten thousand gold.” Zhang Tianyi declared. Generally, it was necessary for an auctioneer to drive up the price of items by describing it in detail, but it was completely unnecessary right now. Just the name of ninth ranked technique was enough to motivate them to fight over it.

For a short while, there was no response from any of the rooms. Then suddenly someone from one of the rooms shouted out ”One hundred thousand.” Bai Yun did not know from where the sound came.

Before the sound subsided though, there was a cacophony of sound from the other rooms. One after the other, the other major forces started to bid on the technique. For a cultivator, this technique might be valuable, but for a clan, it was priceless. Soon the value of the technique rose to three million gold coins.

At this point, even Bai Yun was surprised. He had no idea why the auction would place a ninth ranked technique as only the fifth item in the auction. If the final item is not up to the standard, then it would be a disappointment.

It was at this point that Zhang ZI finally moved. ”Ten million gold.” He declared.

For a moment no one replied. Even though the forces and families behind each of the people in the VIP rooms had billions of gold in reserve, the people here were only the youngsters of the family. Most of them weren't even teenagers yet. It was impossible for them to be given the responsibility for a lot of money. Thus they were only carrying around ten million gold in total, and most of them had spent some of it already. And calling their seniors would only be humiliating for them.
