Chapter 23 - Spiritual Water (1/2)

One by one, the Auction went by smoothly. Nobles, Organizations, Sects and even Royalties participated on bidding. The prices wasn't that overly high, yet the commotion it brought was drastic.

Yi Ling didn't found anything good so far. She wanted some of the rare herbs, but she was in a predicament. She sighed.

"Now we move on to the Low Spirit Stones, This spirit stones was among the treasures that was found in the ancient cave. This will help a cultivator on his breakthrough. Due to the scarceness of spiritual energy, This stones can be used as a mediator. Bid will start at 100,000 Gold Coins per set of 10, we have 5 sets in total" The host explained.

"150,000! I must get this one for the sect master!"

"200,000! I ain't letting this get away from me!"

"500,000!" Someone yelled from the second floor.

People were curious to see who was bidding so high. Yet they couldn't see anything. The window was covered , so its a one way viewing only from the inside.

"Is it worth that much Yu'er?" Yi Ling whispered.

"For these people, maybe. For you master, no. They are worthless compared to the Blue Rose Palace' spiritual energy." Linyu bragged.

"Ohh, is that so? Wish we have some to sell though. We're going to get rich by then." She giggled. She started to like money. It can buy any food she can eat, she drooled by the thought.

Linyu got some cloth from his pocket and wiped Yi Ling's mouth. He got used to his master's antics. In the short time that they were together, he can boldly say that his master was an odd person. Sometimes courageous, childish and/or well mannered. It feels like she had multiple personalities and well.. that might be the case too. He promised to himself to never let anything happen to his new master. He didn't want it to happen again, like his past master. He sighed.

They both had poor souls. Both sighing inside the room. Good thing that the staff had some tea at least. Yi Ling was thirsty. They were seated on Box 6 on the second floor.

By the time she finished her tea, the 5th set of low spiritual stones was sold.

"We will now be starting the bidding for the Spiritual Sword. This is the most valuable treasure we found on the ancient cave. It is a low tier spiritual rank weapon."

The audience was silent and then noise broke out. This was a sensation! Even though the sword was only on low-tier rank, it was still a very valuable weapon. Blacksmiths rarely make any spiritual weapons nowadays. Only the Higher Rank Kingdoms can. Even then, they can only produce about 1 in every 10years. That's how valuable they were! The audience was now agitated, they can't wait to get their hands on it!

"We will start bidding at 5 million gold." The host announced.

"6 Million!"

"7 Million!"

"Weak! 10 Million!"

The prices was now getting so high. Yi Ling's eyes was bulging. She can't believe it! These old geezers have so much money!

"15 Million!"

"No, I want this one for my sect master! 20 Million!
