C3 Bidding Dragon Grass
Dragon City's Tianbao Hall, was one of the Dragon City's signature buildings. The Tianbao Hall's Twin Towers stood side by side, its aura above the Dragon City's City Lord's Mansion.
Entering through the Tianbao Hall gate, in less than thirty steps, there was a giant sculpture carved out of crystal jade. A pair of giant hands held a precious basin, inside it were many different colored treasures, on top of the basin, many treasures were falling down from above with a dazzling light, the entire sculpture had the word 'extravagant' written on it, and the light it emitted was extremely eye-catching.
It was rumored that this was a Tier 3 spiritual formation, known as the Flowing Light Overflowing Array. This formation did not have any offensive power, but it could create multicolored images, and was most favored by large merchants like Tianbao Hall. As the formation itself did not have any offensive power, the consumption of all the spirit energy was very small. A month would only need to consume three Spiritual Stone, and with the addition of the spirit formation's own spirit energy condensation, it would be enough to sustain the operation for a month.
After walking past twenty steps of the Overflowing Light Array, they reached one of the twin towers, the Earthly Treasure Tower. The front of the first floor was the reception hall, while the back was where the guards lived. The second floor of the Earthly Treasure Pavilion had treasures on display. Most of them were Tier 1 spiritual medicines and a few Common Tier treasures. On the third floor were grade two spirit pills and herbs, as well as high-grade Common or low-grade treasures. On the fourth floor were grade three spirit pills and spirit herbs, as well as spirit treasure. On the fifth floor, there were mainly Tier 4 spiritual medicines, a few Tier 5 spiritual medicines, as well as high-grade spiritual medicines and even low-grade mystical treasures. At the same time, the fifth floor was also the residence of the Tianbao Hall's two vice Administer s.
Passing through the Treasure Pavilion, they walked about thirty steps before reaching the location of the Heavenly Treasure Tower. It was worth mentioning that starting from the second floor of the Treasure Tower, every floor was connected to the Heavenly Treasure Tower by an overpass. Guests could directly enter the Heavenly Treasure Tower through the overpass.
The main function of the Treasure Tower was to display and sell, as well as to purchase and other daily businesses. The daily transactions of the guests would be completed in the Treasure Tower, while the main function of the Treasure Heaven Pavilion was the auction.
The outside of the Treasure Heaven Pavilion was hexagonal, while the inside was circular. The inner circle was divided into two semicircles. On one side was a platform that was only about a fifth of the size. On the other side, there were seats for the guests. The VIP lounge was suspended from the fourth to the fifth floor, while the center was empty from the fifth floor all the way. The first floor usually consisted of rogue cultivators or members of small clans. There were also some mercenaries and other large groups. On the second floor were the patriarchs of the small clans and the leaders of the small mercenary groups.
The third floor was where Mu Tian's group was. It was where the heads of the middle-class families and the disciples of the big families were. Of course, some of the big mercenary groups were on the third floor as well.
The fourth floor was the VIP lounge where the four noble families' Patriarchs and the Mayor were. As for the fifth floor, it was basically empty because it was a place that only people who surpassed the Patriarchs of the other families could enter. As far as the Dragon City was concerned, there weren't any such existences in the area. As for those who passed by, the Dragon City didn't seem that big. Even if they occasionally passed by, it wouldn't normally be that high-profile anymore.
The commotion in Mu Tian's room on the third floor gradually calmed down.
"Tian, do you know why there aren't any guests on the fifth floor?" The violet-clothed Young Master asked.
"Of course I know. That's because our Dragon City doesn't have any experts of that level!"
"Then I'm asking you, do you know why the Twin Towers in Tianbao Hall are all on the fifth floor, and why the Twin Towers in Myriad Treasures Store and the Treasure House are both on the fifth floor as well?" The violet-clothed Young Master continued to ask.
"This... I really don't know about that! " Mu Tian admitted it honestly.
"Hahaha!" Loong Yu laughed, "Brother Tian, let me tell you!"
"The treasures in this world are divided into Heaven, Earth, Human, Mystic, Spirit, and Mortal. You should know about this, Brother Tian!" However, the people on the first floor are mostly First Grade Pre-Natal Stage cultivators, and many of them have not even reached the Pre-Sky Realm yet. To them, this is also a rare treasure, so the first floor corresponds to the Mortal Grade treasures and cultivators, and the second floor corresponds to the Spirit Level treasures, third floor, Profound Level, fourth floor, fifth floor, Earth Level, and sixth floor. So, how could a small Dragon City have a Heaven Grade treasure?
"That's right!" The black clad young master continued, "Not only in our Dragon City, but even in the county city, there are no sixth floor. Only in the Treasure Heaven Pavilion in the capital city is there a sixth floor, and so are the rest of the Myriad Treasures Store and the Treasure House!"
"So there was actually such a reason!" Mu Tian sighed, "Is a Heavenly Treasure that hard to come by?"
"It's far more than rare. It's simply something that can only be encountered by luck and not sought after!" The white-robed young master said.
"Perhaps our horizons are limited!" The violet-clothed Young Master said.
"That's right. Legend has it that Heavenly Treasures have a spirit. They can seek profit and avoid harm. They will automatically choose their master!"
"It's actually this magical, it's really amazing!" Mu Tian sighed.
As they were talking, a person walked up to the auction table. He was dressed in pink like a blossoming flower. His hair was slightly dainty, and the Eight Treasures Glass Chain1 was inserted diagonally into his hair.
This person was Wen Jing, one of the two Vice Administer s of the branch hall in Tianbao Hall Dragon City.
"This little girl greets you!" Wen Jing slightly bowed and then smiled. "I represent the Tianbao Hall and welcome all the distinguished guests here. I am honoured to host the auction today, and I hope that the honored guests will give me your support!" With that, he bowed deeply.
"You're welcome, Administer! I will definitely support you! "Hahahaha!"
"Administer is even more beautiful now. When are we going to have a drink together?"
The atmosphere of the auction instantly became heated.
Wen Jing wore a smile on her face. "This little girl won't lose any of your appetite. The auction is about to begin!" As he spoke, he clapped his hands.
Two maids came out with a sword case and stood behind Wen Jing.
Wen Jing didn't turn her head and directly said, "Blue Edge Sword, a spirit rank eight treasure sword. When refining this sword, basalt was added into it. All of these swords are called Blue Edge Sword. After saying that, he paused for a moment, waiting for the guests' response.
Although a spirit rank treasure sword was not bad, it was still difficult to attract the attention of the patriarchs of the large families. One had to know, the treasures of the families were all of the Mysterious rank. Only the eyes of the Patriarchs of some of the smaller clans were shining brightly.
Seeing the reaction of the guests, Wen Jing said with a smile on her face, "I heard that this sword was created using an Ice Spring to cool down, so it has a little bit of chilliness!" At the same time, he waved to the maidservants behind him.
A maid stepped forward and abruptly pulled open the sword case. Brilliant light shone out, and the chilling intent emanated from the sword box again and again.
"What …"
"Good stuff!" "It actually has the effect of a Mysterious rank treasure!"
"That's right. With it, it's hard to find a worthy opponent within the spirit rank!"
"Wen Administer, what's the price? Hurry up and start! "
The patriarchs of the big families on the fourth floor were also somewhat moved. With this sword, it was equivalent to having a second rank mystical treasure. If there was a chaotic battle between clans, the effect would still be great.
In a room on the fourth floor, Administer Yang smiled and said, "Wen Jing still likes to play. She obviously can't lose her appetite, but she still left half of her words in her mouth. She's becoming more and more naughty by teasing the customers!"
"Starting bid — — One thousand Spiritual Stone! The auction begins! " Wen Jing laughed.
"Fifteen hundred!"
"Two thousand!"
"Two thousand two hundred!"
"Two thousand and five hundred!"
As the price rose, Wen Jing's smile became more sweet.
Normally, a ninth level Spirit Grade treasure's price was around two thousand five hundred Spiritual Stone, even if there were many people bidding, it would still be difficult to reach three thousand Spiritual Stone. As for a eighth level Spirit Grade treasure, it was around two thousand Spiritual Stone. The price of this sword had gone straight to three thousand.
"Three thousand!" An aged voice sounded from the fourth floor.
It was obvious that he was a big shot. The other buyers hesitated for a moment as if they were considering something.
It was obvious that the old fellow upstairs was very old and experienced. He seized the moment and said, "This old man, Dan Xi, thanks for your praise! Thank you here! "
"President of the Pill Assembly!" The crowd exclaimed.
"It's this old fellow. Forget it …"
"Old man isn't short on money, seriously!"
Although the other big shots were very interested, they wouldn't fight with the president of the Pill Assembly for a Spirit Grade Eight treasure sword.
The smile on Wen Jing's face didn't change. After pausing for a moment, she sweetly said, "Congratulations President Dan Xi!"
Upstairs, Sister Ling said, "Old fellow, you sure are thick-skinned!"
Popular: "The richer you are, the less stingy you are! "Hahaha!"
Wen Jing: "Now we'll begin with the second treasure!"
The two maids on the stage left with their treasured swords, and another two maids brought their treasures onto the stage.
The auction continued...
Mu Tian, who was on the third floor, looked forward to it anxiously, while his excited eyes flashed from time to time.
"The fifteenth treasure!" Wen Jing said, "Hundred Year Dragon Blood Herb!"
A maid stepped forward with a brocade box in her hands and gently opened the lid. Inside the box was a stalk of Hundred Year Old Dragon Blood Grass. It was blood-red in color and looked like a dragon that was about to soar into the sky.
Wen Jing said, "I don't need to say anything more about the effects of the Dragon Blood Grass. The starting price is two thousand!"
"Two thousand and five hundred!" Someone immediately called out a price.
Mu Tian was not in a hurry to make a move. He had already known that the trading price of these Hundred Year Old Dragon Blood Grass should be around seven to eight thousand Spiritual Stone.
Different from precious swords and other external objects, precious medicines like the Dragon Blood Herb that could increase one's own cultivation level were much more expensive. Their competition was also much more intense. In the world of cultivators, there was a saying, "The world is rotten, only the immortals in medicine are left!" He was talking about the fact that in the eyes of the truly powerful experts, all the treasures below Heaven Ranked were rotten objects, with the exception of the spirit medicine that could strengthen one's cultivation level.
"Four thousand!"
"Five thousand!" The price kept rising.
"Brother Tian!" We're in a bit of a suspense! " Loong Yu said. The others also nodded silently.
"Six or seven!"
"Seven thousand!"
"Seven thousand two hundred!"
"Seven thousand three hundred!" The price rise began to slow down.
Mu Tian knew that the real competition had begun. "Eight thousand!" Mu Tian shouted.
After a moment of silence, "Eight thousand two hundred!"
Up until now, the guests bidding for the Dragon Blood Grass had been on the third floor and below. The big bosses of the fourth floor hadn't moved yet. The Dragon Blood Grass was a Tier 2 spiritual ingredient. Even if the big boss didn't use it himself, he could still give it to his children and grandchildren. However, it was still the juniors bidding, so they couldn't bring themselves to participate.
Loong Yu said, "Brother Tian, hurry up and bid! We can't let those old fellows upstairs join in, or else we won't have another chance! "
Mu Tian nodded, "Alright!" And then he shouted, "I bid 9000!"
The purple robed young master shouted at the same time, "This one is called Mu Mansion Mu Feng! Mu Tian needs this Dragon Blood Grass, I hope that everyone can give me some face! "
Loong Yu immediately reacted: "I'm Loong Yu from the Long family! I hope everyone can help me! "
"I am Zhang Ying from the Zhang Residence. I hope everyone can become brothers with me!"
The white-robed man said, "I am Liu Yun. I hope everyone can help!"
"Holy sh * t!" Fifth Poison Prince! "
"Quiet!" "Don't think about it anymore!"
"Forget it, don't provoke them!"
"I'm afraid just thinking about it!"
Following the few people's loud numbers, the crowd broke out into a flurry of discussion, but there was less that sounded good.
Upstairs, Sister Ling said, "These little fellows are really crafty!"
It's popular, "9000 isn't a low price, but it's not high enough. Those big shots still haven't made a move yet! With them shouting, even if they wanted to, those old fellows would still feel embarrassed! As for those little fellows, I am afraid there are not that many Spiritual Stone, even if there are individual Spiritual Stone s, I am afraid they will have to consider them a little.
Administer Yang said: "That's what you call the Five Poisons Young Master for nothing, that Mu Feng is the direct grandson of the Mu Mansion Clan Patriarch, Loong Yu is the direct grandson of the Long Clan Patriarch, Zhang Ying is the direct grandson of the Zhang Clan Patriarch, and that Dan Shui is the grandson of that old Dan Xi, I think that the treasured sword just now was bought for him, even if we met him, the Lord Mayor would have a headache!"
Wen Jing looked in the direction of Mu Tian and the others and shouted unwillingly, "9000! Is there anything higher? "
"Nine thousand two hundred times!" Esteemed guests, this is the 92nd time! "
"Nine thousand times!" Nine thousand times! Congratulations Young Master Mu! "
Administer Yang: "Looks like Miss Wen is not feeling well! "Hahahaha!"
