Chapter 14 – Opening of the Auction
By the time Xu Yang returned to the fifth floor, this auction was almost ready to begin.
Under the guidance of a maid, Xu Yang knew Ling Qingshu’s room and led Xu Yang inside.
What Xu Yang didn’t know was that after he entered the box, the youth who had fought with him for the Spirit Grass downstairs earlier came out.
”Surprisingly, I can’t find that guy anymore, just now he even teased young master me.”
The youth muttered in a low voice as he walked.
Regarding the matter just now, this youth was obviously a bit grudging.
When Xu Yang took his seat in the box, this auction officially began.
A Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator directly went up to the stage, and it looked like he was the one to preside over this auction this time.
”Everyone, old man this box is polite, this time the competition will be hosted by me, I hope everyone can return home with a full load.”
The Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator didn’t talk nonsense and directly started this auction.
The first item, was a yellow grade mid-grade art technique secret.
After the Foundation Establishment realm cultivator stated the requirements of this technique, two forces took a liking to this technique secret and started a new round of bidding.
As for this yellow grade medium grade spell secret, Xu Yang and Ling Qingshu could not see it, Xu Yang was because he had already mastered enough high grade spells, the yellow grade medium grade was not enough to look at.
While Ling Qingshu was because of Xu Yang’s existence, in Ling Qingshu’s cognition, since there was Old Man Xu Yang, the Heavenly Barbarian Sect would definitely not be lacking in techniques and secrets.
For the sake of a middle-grade yellow grade technique secret, the spokespersons of the two forces had a small competition.
In the end, this yellow grade medium grade technique secret fell into the hands of the one who was more able to pay a high price.
With the perfect sale of the first piece, this auction could be said to have gone very smoothly.
Feats, techniques, magic treasures, pills, talismans.
This auction could be described as a wide variety of things.
Many of these things had powerful effects for Jindan realm cultivators.
Looking at those spiritual items that had once made her greedy, Ling Qingshu was not as eager now.
With Xu Yang’s presence, her eyesight had already gained a long stride during this period of time.
In the past, she might have been excited by a spiritual object that could increase her cultivation, but nowadays, it would not be the case.
”Today’s auction went exceptionally well, and there are just two items left today.
Come let’s take a look at the finale object of this auction.”
Two auction house staff carried an object onto the stage, and after the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator had finished speaking, the red cloth was unveiled, and when the true appearance of that grand finale item was revealed in front of the people, the face of Xu Yang, who had always been careless, was solemn at that time.
Looking at the object placed on the stage, Xu Yang unexpectedly had a strange sense of familiarity.
”Take this thing,” this was Xu Yang’s request to Ling Qingshu.
On the stage, the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator was still introducing the mysterious object that had been carried out.
”This was brought out by a few loose cultivators from the middle of a secret realm, we can only tell that this object is extraordinary, but we have no way to specifically confirm what it is.”
The moment these words were spoken, all the gazes of those present were drawn in.
Secret realm, unknown, when these two terms came together, they often represented great opportunities.
Anything that came out of the secret realm, as long as it could be used, was invariably a fine item.
”This item has been entrusted by the commissioner and will only be exchanged for pills that aid in cultivation, now please make your bids.”
As soon as these words were said, the entire auction house, whether it was under the stands or the guests inside the boxes, were all slightly stunned.
This auction was actually to be exchanged for elixirs that aided in cultivation.
How is this, is it hot to hold a spirit stone in your hand?
Ling Qingshu, who was inside the box, also had a change of color when she heard this, but it was a change of joy.
Pills that assisted in cultivation, their Tian Lan Sect seemed to be the least short of such pills at the moment.
The old ancestor Xu sitting next to her, that terrifying alchemy ability, Ling Qingshu had personally experienced.
After waiting for a long time, there was no bidding for this item in the entire auction house, Ling Qingshu opened her mouth at the right time.
”A bottle of Jindan Stage Cultivation Aid Pill, able to increase the efficiency of cultivation by 30%.”
After these words were uttered, surprisingly, no one came to bid against Ling Qingshu, if there were no accidents, this item would belong to Xu Yang behind Ling Qingshu.
”I have an elixir with a similar effect in my hand, I’ll offer a bottle and a half.”
A bottle and a half, most of a bottle was used to be filled with twelve pills, a bottle and a half would be eighteen pills.
To take out eighteen of these cultivation-aiding pills at once, it could be said that this exit bidding recognizes the wealth and generosity of the people.
After all, not everyone was like Xu Yang, with a terrifying alchemy ability.
Hearing that someone was bidding against himself, and Xu Yang commanded down to do something that could not be lost.
Ling Qingshu opened her mouth again and directly increased the price to two bottles.
The other party also seemed to be determined to win, and without even thinking about it, they increased the price to two and a half bottles.
Once again being suppressed, Ling Qingshu’s face did not look very good anymore, this was something that Xu Yang had arranged for, and he himself had not even accomplished it smoothly, it was really a great mistake.
”Compare it to him, I’ll take this thing.”
Xu Yang stopped the bidding process in his ears, naturally he knew what had happened.
Regarding the pills on Ling Qingshu’s body, Xu Yang himself had a rough estimate, after all, they were all given by him.
Receiving such an order from Xu Yang, Ling Qingshu once again increased the price to three bottles.
The other party heard the firm look in Ling Qingshu’s words as she raised the price, and also fell silent, not knowing whether it was good or bad to compete with Ling Qingshu for an unknown thing.
There was a long silence.
The other party finally stopped speaking out, apparently giving the item to Ling Qingshu.
When that Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator was auctioning the last item of the day, Ling Qingshu beckoned the maidservants at the entrance and asked them to get the steward.
After Ling Qingshu handed over the three bottles of elixirs used to aid cultivation to the auction house’s steward, the item Xu Yang wanted was delivered to their private room.
It was an oval-shaped object, black in color, with no luster on its entire body, and it was impossible to tell what material it was made of.
Xu Yang’s true qi was running on his hand, and every time he rubbed on this object, it would emit some faint halo.
Treating this oval object, Xu Yang was just like treating a fine piece of porcelain, not daring to make too much forceful movements.
Ling Qingshu had been paying attention to Xu Yang’s movements, after seeing Xu Yang rubbing the object emitted a burst of halo, Ling Qingshu knew that the old ancestor let the purchase of this thing is very extraordinary.
Therefore, Ling Qingshu looked extra carefully, her eyes were focused on Xu Yang’s body, afraid of missing any of the next details.
