Chapter 359 Auction Situation (Part Two)
"Dear VIPs!" "Dear friends!" "The auction of the Treasures Pavilion starts now!" A white-robed old man appeared on stage and announced the opening of that highly anticipated auction!
"There’s a total of ten auction items, and all of them are from the Treasure House of Heaven Door!" "There are seven magic treasures and three artifacts." When the old man finished, he waved his hand, and lights flashed on the auction platform. A short red golden sword emerged, "Next, the first item. An ultimate-grade Innate Spirit Treasure, Fire Cast Sword!"
"…It’s only the start, and a magic treasure of such level appeared!" "Bravo!" Lyu Liang couldn’t help but raise his thumb. He had participated in auctions in the Mortal World. There, a Pure-yang level treasure was considered the best.
"Anyway, you’re not interested in it. By the way, weren’t you still pondering just now?" "Why did you suddenly become so sure?" "Is there something you care about?" Wen Xiaojing was curious at that time.
"Eternal Heaven Fire. I don’t know what happened, but as soon as I heard of this item, I felt like I should participate in the auction. It’s weird, isn’t it?" Lyu Liang smiled wryly.
"Oh?" "Interesting!" Wen Xiaojing frowned, and said softly, "There are only two ways to use Eternal Heaven Fire. One is to refine the medicinal pill, and the other is to melt the Eternal Ice." "Forget about the pill refining. Though you know how to refine a pill, you have yet to reach the standard for using the fire." "Could it be that you have a friend who was trapped by Eternal Ice? What’s happening to you?"
With Wen Xiaojing’s words, Lyu Liang’s expression became more and more pained. For some reason, a faint tinge of yellow appeared for the first time, deep in his Divine Soul. Not only that, an excruciating pain struck his Divine Soul. His face distorted uncontrollably.
"Argh!" "I am fine." After a while, Lyu Liang took a deep breath and shook his head. He said softly, "I don’t know what happened, but I don’t want to mention it again."
Wen Xiaojing nodded tamely and moved her gaze to the first sold item. She smiled, "Sixteen hundred thousand upper-grade Primordial Stones. Even if you want the Eternal Heaven Fire, you probably can’t afford it."
Lyu Liang frowned, but he still answered, "It’s okay. In such a case, I will use my treasure to make and exchange!"
With the first auction item sold, rounds of bidding followed up and the atmosphere became more intense. The next five pieces, even a simple shield of Innate Spirit Treasure was sold at an unbelievably high price, twelve hundred thousand upper-grade Primordial Stones…
During that period, Lyu Liang kept himself busy. He sorted out a lot of magic treasures and artifacts that were unused. Then he asked the servants around about the deduction rules.
According to the rules here, trades were allowed. However, Primordial Stones could only be converted at 80% of their actual value. Although the conversion price was low, Lyu Liang had no other choice.
"The next one is an artifact. This is something that every alchemist yearns for, Eternal Heaven Fire!" With the inflammatory words of the old man, the item that Lyu Liang cared about the most was placed on the stage.
"A hundred thousand upper-grade Primordial Stones!"
"Fifteen hundred thousand upper-grade!"
The price spiked in just two bids. With the Primordial Stones that he had, Lyu Liang barely had a chance.
When the price rose to 250,000 upper-grade Primordial Stones, the auction of that artifact stopped for the first time.
"350,000 upper-grade!" At that time, Lyu Liang’s steady voice sounded, attracting the attention of people beside him.
"550,000 upper-grade!" Without any interval, a relaxed voice with absolute confidence was heard from the VIP room in the northwest corner above.
That time, a bit of commotion rose among the audience. Obviously, many people knew who was in the private room, even the old man on the auction stage seemed to be pleased.
"600,000!" Although the other party directly added 200,000, Lyu Liang didn’t hesitate to continue quoting.
"800,000. No, make it one million upper-grade." "Boy, if you are found to be faking the bid, you will be in big trouble!" The price was almost doubled just then, and the person made fun of Lyu Liang while bidding.
"It’s him!" "The Childe we saved…" Wen Xiaojing recognized the voice of the owner, and was a little embarrassed when asking," I’m sorry, didn’t you ask me why he stopped us
"Oh shit, I see!" Lyu Liang was stunned for a moment and immediately understood why the other party was raising the price. He was just jealous!
A million upper-grade Primordial Stones. Lyu Liang estimated his inventory and gritted his teeth, preparing to bid. Then came a woman’s cold voice from the east-north side above, "Two million upper-grade."
"Boom!" That time, the audience was in a commotion.
Eternal Heaven Fire was precious, but the regular price was between 300,000 to 400,000. Two million? It seemed that it wasn’t just a simple auction. It seemed to be more of a fight than bidding!
Lyu Liang was in a daze. Two million; even if he was willing to deduce his treasure at an 80% of its real value, he had about the same number. Did he have to use a magic treasure that was near the Chaotic divine weapon level?
At that moment, the bidding price from the west-north private room stopped his bidding intentions. "Three million upper-grade!"
Mu Yi was also depressed. He didn’t take any shots in the previous items and waited for the chance to shame Lyu Liang. Most importantly, he wanted to show off in front of his lover.
Although he was in the private room, his attention was on Wen Xiaojing. When he saw her whispering with Lyu Liang, he knew that she recognized his identity.
Initially, after bidding one million, Mu Yi felt that he had almost gotten the item. However, the Northeast private room doubled the price. Although Lyu Liang couldn’t afford it, he felt ashamed.
"Five million upper-grade!" Mu Yi ignored the chubby youth who had a sad face beside him and directly took the bidding to a new height.
"Eight million." The female voice on the opposite side was full of confidence with the ‘only I can’ feeling.
Lyu Liang had given up as early as the ‘three million’ range. Although he was reluctant, he had no choice. He had insufficient funds, and there was nothing he could do!
On Mu Yi’s side, he opened his mouth in surprise. For the first time in his life, someone wanted to win against him in the aspect of "money"?
Just when he was about to open his mouth to shout the astonishing price of "10 million", the majestic voice of his dad came from the depths of his Divine Soul, "Bastard kid!" "Shut up and stop bidding!" "The miss of the Night Dragon God Ancestor Clan is in that private room, and you are trying to beat her with money?" "Don’t provoke such an enemy that makes me sleepless!"
Mu Yi opened his mouth until the old man below started to confirm the price for the first time. He sighed unwillingly and sat on the chair in the back.
Realizing he gave up bidding, the chubby young man was relieved. Although he had boasted before, the price had reached a point even he had to consider carefully. How would his father deal with him when he returned home…?
"Brother Yi, why don’t you compete?" "We can afford such a small sum of Primordial Stones!" The chubby young man looked anxious. He had to act out as he had been shown. Of course, deep in his heart, he wished Mu Yi not to listen to him and continue bidding…
"Nah, my dad has secretly transmitted a voice to me about that northeast… never mind, since Lyu Liang has no more chances, it’s fine!" Mu Yi shook his head, showing an indifferent look, but he was feeling uneasy in his heart.
"Eight Million upper-grade Primordial Stones, the third time!" The old man on the stage shouted and glanced around. He paused for a few breaths, and the auction hammer fell heavily. He shouted, "Congratulations to this fairy in the VIP room, the Eternal Heaven Fire is yours now!"
Although the audience was still feverish about the next three items, no more strange situations like the one with the Eternal Heaven Fire were repeated.
When the entire auction came to an end, Lyu Liang sighed and was about to leave with Wen Xiaojing. The fatty shopkeeper appeared beside him all of a sudden and bowed. "Sir, please wait!"
"Oh?" "What is it?" Lyu Liang froze and quickly returned the bow.
"Well…" The fatty man glanced at Wen Xiaojing, and then scratched his head embarrassingly, saying to Lyu Liang, "The VIP of the Northeast Private Room wants to meet with you alone…"
When he said that, he kept glancing, waiting for Wen Xiaojing’s reaction. When he realized the other party had no unsatisfied response, he was slightly relieved, but then he was worried about whether Lyu Liang would agree.
Others might not know the identity of the Northeast Private Room, but not only did he know, he knew it in detail! Not to mention himself, even the Yan Family supporting him was no match against that VIP!
"What?" "We should…" Lyu Liang wanted to refuse, but with a message from Wen Xiaojing, he stopped. Then he frowned slightly and nodded after a moment."Well, I also want to see who took the Eternal Heaven Fire. Shopkeeper, please lead the way."
In Wen Xiaojing’s secretly transmitted voice came a key message, "Nerd, you’ve seen her a few times before and yet you’re not as good as me who has only seen the image!" "That clearly is Fairy Purple Phoenix, OK?" "She was bidding for you!" "Since you’re here and you have to see her anyway, why not now?" "Remember, forget Zhu Yu’s resentment and think of the old Green Dragon Saint Emperor’s earnest entrusting, just be yourself!"
The moment Lyu Liang left with the old man, Mu Yi, and the chubby young man had already appeared behind Wen Xiaojing. Then he coughed and used his most handsome expression. He instantly flashed to the front of the gorgeous lady and shook his fan. "How coincidental, my lady!" "We actually met here!" "Where’s your male companion?" "Hmm, with such a beautiful lady here, how dare he respond to the call of another lady… It’s truly outrageous!" "But since we met by chance, I believe it’s fate. Would you mind having a cup of tea together?"
Upstairs, the fat shopkeeper had left. Lyu Liang took a deep breath, pretending not to know who the person in the room was, and knocked gently on the door.
"Come, come in." It was a slightly excited voice.
At the next moment, the door opened automatically, showing the unsettled and excited Fairy Purple Phoenix. When she saw Lyu Liang, who stood still, she threw the discussed ‘calmness’ to the wind. Ignoring Xiao Rong’s hint behind, she rushed into Lyu Liang’s arms and said in a trembling voice, "I’m sorry for not being with you when you needed help the most…"
Lyu Liang was also shocked. He didn’t expect for Fairy Purple Phoenix to have such deep feelings toward him. Was everything real? He could no longer react with his own thinking…
The maidservant Xiao Rong first showed a hint of complexity. Then she sighed and walked past the two. When she closed the door, she seemed to be looking straight at Wen Xiaojing, who was looking upstairs and hummed in disdain.
Below, you could see the joy-filled face of Mu Yi. He quickly said to Wen Xiaojing, who was frowning, "Gorgeous, did you see that?" "That is the man you’re willing to commit to for your whole life?" "Wake up, this is too much!" "Only me, the future owner of the Mu Family among the six families, Mu Yi, is your best choice!"
