Chapter 35 Auction (1/2)
The three people got together. They first exchanged ideas about what everyone needed. Nevertheless to say Lyu Liang needed that Qi Storage Pearl. What Zhang Ran wanted was a sword type of magic treasure at the Nascent Soul Stage, ”Cloud Water Sword”. As for Lyu Xinyun, she already spent everything, and she had made the necessary purchases. Thus, she could only accompany them to the auction and have a look at the treasures.
Lyu Liang was very curious. The generous way that Zhang Ran spent his money seemed to be from a big family, but he seemed to avoid these sensitive topics deliberately. Hence, Lyu Liang teased a few words and turned to something else. ”Everyone can have their secrets, can't they?”
After yesterday's squandering, Lyu Liang had seven upper-grade Primordial Stones, and about one hundred mid-grade Primordial Stone left in his hand. He was considered wealthy. He had planned well. He would not buy anything unless he saw Qi Storage Pearl. ”Who knows how many people will fight for this thing at the end! If my money is not enough, then it will be troublesome.”
Later, the three people went back to the houses and continued to practice for a while. When it was noontime, they accompanied each other to the auction on the sixth floor of the Tianshui Pavilion.
When they handed in the invitation at the door, they happened to meet the Shangguan Ying who was brought over by Aunt Qing. Lyu Liang exchanged a glance with her and walked past, pretending to be strangers.
”Aunt Qing's identity is dignified. There is a separate compartment, and we are in the second position on the right-hand side after entering the door.” This was Shangguan Ying's special voice message to Lyu Liang. Then Qing Yi and she followed an usher, and slowly strolled to the separate compartment. And Lyu Liang, they went straight ahead and sat down on the scattered position below. Li Wuyi and the other two had already waited there early.
When they saw Lyu Liang's group of three coming over, especially when he saw that Lyu Xinyun was so close to Lyu Liang, Li Wuyi started to have a burning rage in his heart! No matter what, he was a cultivator with the special constitution at the Early-stage of Gold Core, and was a named disciple of Immortal Tianyuan, one of the Eight Fairy Immortals. It was reasonable to say that he was also a nonnegligible existence in the Sword Character Immortal Palace.
But what about Lyu Liang? Not to mention that he had no masters, if he was not so lucky to have hooked up with the pro-disciple of the Xuan Nyu Sect, he might not even be alive to come out from the trial field!
After gnashing his teeth and watching Lyu Liang's group of three sit down, Li Wuyi let out a silent sneer. ”Let you get smug first. I will not spare you today!” He was well prepared today, and he had more than thousands of mid-grade Primordial Stones!
Just as he stared at Lyu Liang, in the hidden corner of the hall, two masked men were wearing blue Bagua robes. Now they were staring at Li Wuyi.
”Senior brother, we crossed a realm and finally found it!” One of the chunky blue-robed men whispered, and his only exposed eyes were sparkling with excitement.
”Junior Brother, calm down, your aura is not stable. Yes, for more than five hundred years, I finally met the cultivator with a Mysterious Soul Body. It seems that he is not awakened yet, what a god sent opportunity!” Another tall and thin blue-robed man was also very excited, but obviously calmer than his junior brother.
”Well, it is a disciple of the Sword Character Immortal Palace, and he should be a rather important disciple. After a while, when they're on the way back, we have to fight fast and end fast!” The voice of the chunky man was also calmer.
At this moment, Li Wuyi was still planning on how to deal with Lyu Liang. In fact, he had something to get, and he was determined to get it. However, he was still very confident about his net worth. ”Even if I spent five hundred stones and left five hundred, I can still make the price exorbitant for you!”
As the melodious bell rang, the auction hall was quiet, and everyone knew that the auction had begun.
At this point, a red-bearded old man walked onto the stage and cupped his hand against the crowd below. He announced, ”Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my Tianshui Pavilion to support. I would like to express my sincere gratitude. Next, I shall not be nagging. Still the old rules. First, there will be an auction of 15 pieces of precious natural treasures, and finally, there will be an auction of three mysterious treasures not mentioned on the list.”
Lyu Liang couldn't see the cultivation of this old man. It seemed that he was at the stage above the Nascent Soul, and he might be a Fairy Immortal! However, this was not what Lyu Liang cared about. He was more interested in when the Qi Storage Pearl would appear.
Subsequently, the first treasure was served by a waiter, and it was a colorful shield gleaming vibrantly. ”The Magic treasure at Void Return Stage, Five-element Shield. It can resist all five elements of the magic, until the Primordial Qi of its user is exhausted. Starting from 200 mid-grade Primordial Stones, ten stones per increase,” the red-bearded old man slowly said.
”Two hundred!”
”Two hundred and five!”
”Two hundred and eight!”
...
The incessant bidding sounded through the hall, but Lyu Liang and his other two friends were not interested. Finally, a man in the Late-stage of Gold Core paid 560 mid-grade Primordial Stones to win the auction.
The second item was the Cloud Water Sword that Zhang Ran needed. The base price was directly started at 300 mid-grade Primordial Stones. Finally, Zhang Ran took it down at the cost of 700 mid-grade Primordial Stones. When paying the money, Lyu Liang saw that Zhang Ran actually took out seven upper-grade Primordial Stones, and he became interested in Zhang Ran's identity once again.
The third item was a Soul Fixation Pearl.
Unexpectedly, Li Wuyi who had been waiting to oppose Lyu Liang actually started to bid! The competition was fierce indeed. After some intense competition, Li Wuyi eventually paid 820 mid-grade Primordial Stones for his victory. Judging from his slightly painful expression, it was apparent that this price was too high!
The fourth item was actually the Qi Storage Pearl. It started with a base price of 100 mid-grade Primordial Stones. But in a short while, it rose to 300 mid-grade Primordial Stones. During this period, Lyu Liang did not make his bid. He knew that whenever he started to bid, Li Wuyi behind him would raise the price for sure. In this case, he could simply wait first.
When the price was called at 420 mid-grade Primordial Stones, the hall quietened down. ”Anyone else, one!” The red-bearded old man waited for a while and began to read. If no one bid before the ”three”, it would be a deal.
”500 mid-grade Primordial Stones!”
