Chapter: 846 (2/2)

“How powerful is a Martial Emperor?” Qing Shui sighed and said.

“Peak Martial Saints would be weak in front of them as ants in front of a Martial Saint. A Martial Emperor would not even need to move a finger to kill a Peak Martial Saint,” Tang Wude shook his head and said.

Qing Shui only smiled bitterly. Wasn’t he like that before that lady? It would be extremely easy for her to kill him. However, seeing that he was still alive despite having been attacked twice, it could only meant that she did not go all out to try to kill him. Otherwise, it would merely take a though for her to kill him. He did not understand why she did not. Before her, he was so inferior that he could not find an answer he felt was right.

Emperor City Auction Hall

What a domineering name! This was what Qing Shui felt. The Central Continent could be considered the Emperor City but Qing Shui could not help but think of Dragon Emperor Mountain. He felt that the Emperor City Auction Hall was a property of Dragon Emperor Mountain, just because of the word ‘Emperor’.

“In this area, Tang Manor is considered to have the best medicinal hall, while for auction halls, it’ll be this Emperor City Auction Hall. This belongs to Dragon Emperor Mountain,” Tang Wude smiled and said.

Qing Shui smiled and nodded. As expected, it belonged to the Dragon Emperor Mountain. The two of them headed for the entrance.

“Fifth Master, you’re here! Please come in!” When the guard saw Tang Wude, he smiled and quickly came up to welcome him, leaving the other guests aside.

“No need to attend to me. I’ll head up myself,” Tang Wude smiled and said.

“Alright, alright. Fifth Master, please feel free!”

Tang Wude and Qing Shui went up to the second storey from the side door. The auction hall was very big but there were only two storeys. The first storey was the hall while the second storey had private rooms separated off by partition boards. Although the rooms were small, the decor was luxurious but yet did not block the view.

Qing Shui came here to try his luck, to see if he could come across anything which would be useful to him. Usually, there would be two rounds of auctions in a day, with one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Each round would take two hours.

Qing Shui and Tang Wude only left Tang Manor in the late morning. Although the auction had not yet started, it would be starting soon.

In the private room, they could see most of the places on the first storey. This auction hall would not lose out to Cloud Adventurer Guild’s hall and there were definitely more than several tens of thousands of people seated there.

The auctioneers for large-scale auctions would all be martial arts practitioners who were at least Xiantian. Otherwise, it would be hard for them to be heard by everyone present.

The people on top could clearly see those below but the reverse was not true. Moreover, those on the second floor were people with status and reputation. There was food and drink provided in the private rooms and if required, there would even be two beautiful maids who would help to provide massages.

However, Qing Shui and Tang Wude did not request for the maids to stay.

“Brother, how are the things in this auction hall?” Qing Shui smiled, sat down and asked.

“How should I say it? This is the biggest auction hall in the area. It has everything, from medicinal pills, medicinal herbs, weapons, demonic beast’s core, bones and hide, as well as defensive equipment.”

“But for miraculous medicines and divine artifacts, you can basically forget about it. Only idiots would sell them. More people come to try to dig for treasures.”

“Dig for treasures? What do you mean?” Qing Shui asked directly.

“There might be new and interesting things being put up for sale. There could be the case where you recognize the value of something even though others don’t or it could also be no one recognizes the value but you find out that it’s a treasure after purchasing it. It’s just that the chances of the latter occurring is very low,” Tang Wude smiled and said.

Qing Shui knew about these. He was only here to try his luck today. Afterall, he’djust attend one auction and leave in the afternoon.

Very soon, it was time for the auction to start.

There were three auctioneers wearing black colored professional clothes. One of them was an old man while the other two were middle-aged men. The moment they came out, they greeted everyone present. It was clear from their professional smiles and presentable actions that they were very experienced auctioneers. The old man’s tone was very pleasant and amiable.

“Let’s cut a long story short, I’m sure many of you present knows me. I have also introduced myself earlier. Now let me announce that the auction for today has officially started. We’ll start off with the first item.” Hearing the old man announcing the start of the auction, the noisy auction hall immediately fell silent.

“Ten 500 Year Snow Lotus Seeds. The starting bid is 1,000 silver taels and each increasing bid must not be lower than 20 silver taels. The auction starts now.” The old man said softly but his voice could be clearly heard by everyone.

Qing Shui was not interested in this but this did not mean that other people were not interested. No matter how big the auction hall, it was impossible for everything on auction to be miraculous medicine or divine weapons. It would be considered good if there were a few good pieces at the end of each auction.

In this world, no matter how good the stuff you bring out, as long as you can name a price, someone would be able to afford it.

Competition was not very tough and someone got it very quickly at 1,300 silver taels. The Snow Lotus Seeds relieve heatiness and toxins. To ordinary rich merchants, they were considered quite good.

After all, there were many medicinal pills which ordinary people could not take.
