C39 Fire Martial Skill

"He is indeed Wu Hui. It seems like his cultivation has already reached Three or Four-star of Profound Grade." The shock on Lin Tong's face did not recede, and he looked at Wu Haiya with a profound expression.

"How is that possible? Hui Er only managed to break through Profound Grade not too long ago, and managed to solidify his cultivation a few days ago. How could he reach the cultivation of Three or Four-star? Brother Lin must have misjudged him." Wu Haiya shook his head, and looked at Wu Hui again. His gaze suddenly focused. “How is it possible for the Martial qi in Hui Er's body to be so strong? Even a cultivator of Four-star of Profound Grade can’t compared to Hui Er."

How could Wu Haiya know that Wu Hui had just broken through Two-star of Profound Grade? Wu Hui’s qi in his body was still unstable, so Wu Haiya and Lin Tong were able to sense that. Although Wu Hui was only at the Two-star of Profound Grade, with both fire and wood inter-promoting, the Martial qi in Wu Hui's body was actually extremely powerful and not inferior to the normal Four-star of Profound Grade.

"Aha, Brother Wu must had paid enough attention to him!" A light flashed across Lin Tong's eyes, while his face revealed a meaningful smile, and he said while there was more to it than met the ear.

How could Wu Haiya not know what Lin Tong meant? Lin Tong must have thought that Wu Family was purposely talking about Wu Hui not making progress in the past seven years in order to plan something. But Wu Family was wronged and he didn’t know how to explain.

Right at that moment, the gate of Treasure Pavilion finally opened. A woman appeared at the entrance.

The woman was about 26 to 27 years old. Wearing a light red flower skirt, her hair was tied with a Fei Yun chignon, her skin was as white as snow, and her face was like a peach blossom. Her smile fascinated everyone. She was none other than the Manager of Treasure Pavilion, Liu Qianqian.

At this time, Liu Qianqian looked around, her face revealing a trace of an enchanting smile, then she said, "Welcome to my Treasure Pavilion. In this auction, I hope all of you will be able to return fully loaded."

Under Liu Qianqian's instructions, nearly a hundred people entered the bidding block. The Wu, Wang, and Lin Families sat in the front row, followed by the small and medium-sized clans of Xin Si City. In front of the bidding block, there was an auction platform. At this time on the auction platform, there was already someone standing there. It was exactly Liu Qianqian.

Pow! Pow!

Looking at the noisy crowd below, Liu Qianqian tapped the auction hammer in her hand lightly. The entire bidding block was immediately quiet now.

"Ladies and gentlemen! You may know me. I am the manager of Treasure Pavilion, Liu Qianqian. This time, I will take charge of the auction." Liu Qianqian looked around, her face revealing a professional smile, “Not much to say, and we will officially start the auction, please show the first lot."

At this time, an azure-dressed girl walked up from the backstage. In her hand was a tray covered with a red cloth, which made it difficult to see what was underneath it.

Liu Qianqian took the tray and placed it on the auction counter. She lifted the silk fabric and a small white porcelain bottle appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"Oh god! What is that? It looks like a pill."

"It should be pills, but I wonder which family provided it. It's good that there's a Pill Master in the family, but unfortunately, other than the three great families, there was no family can afford it."

...

"We'll see what grade it is. If it's appropriate, we can take a bottle for the family disciples."

...

The appearance of the bottle caused a huge stir in the bidding block. Everyone looked to the front row, searching for the Pill Master among the three great families. They wondered which family the pill belonged to.

It was not only the small and middle-sized clans in the back, even the disciples of the three great families in the front row were somewhat stunned. Every family of three turned to look at the other two.

"This is a superior first-grade Healing pill. The auction minimum is a hundred thousand taels, and price markup is supposed to be more than ten thousand taels." Liu Qianqian's voice sounded throughout the bidding block. The originally noisy bidding block instantly erupted into commotion.

"Superior first-grade Healing pill. Did I hear it wrongly? How could it be possible that there would be a Superior pill?"

...

"It seems to be true, otherwise, Treasure Pavilion will destroy its own reputation."

"Once the Superior pill appears, we must obtain it."

...

The appearance of the first lot of Treasure Pavilion, Superior first-grade Healing pill, immediately caused a commotion among the crowd. In the front row of the crowd, the three great families looked at each other, guessing who would be able to concoct the Superior pill. Amongst the group of Wu Family, Wu Hui lowered his head, feeling somewhat surprised in his heart, because he did not expect that his pill would appear as the first lot of the auction. It seemed that Liu Qianqian paid enough attention to the pill, but he didn’t know how much the pill could be auctioned.

Due to the special nature of the pill, everyone guessed that it must have been concocted by one of the three great Pill Masters and no one actually bid for it at first.

Within Lin Family, Jiang He looked at Hai Qinglan and Huang Ziwei, and guessed who had concocted the Superior pill. Although a few people had turned their gazes towards him, Jiang He knew clearly that he could only concoct the Medium First-Grade Pill since he became a Pill Master five years ago, and he could never concoct a Superior pill now. So who of Hai Qinglan and Huang Ziwei had concocted this superior first-grade Healing pill? Hai Qinglan looked calm, and it was not clear what she was thinking, but Huang Ziwei's face turned gloomy the moment he appeared, and now his expression became even more angry. Could it be that this pill was concocted by Hai Qinglan?

Most people and Jiang He all thought that Hai Qinglan had concocted the superior first-grade Healing pill. Some people knew that Hai Qinglan was able to concoct an advanced First-grade pill, and it was possible for her to be able to take out a Superior pill to be auctioned right now. As for that Huang Ziwei, he was much worse than Hai Qinglan in terms of concocting pills.

Hai Qinglan found more and more gazes on her from the surroundings, and she was a little helpless in her heart. Wu Hui was standing right beside her, but not a single person took a single glance at this man, the master of the superior first-grade Healing pill. She even had to take the “blame” for him.

In Wang Family, when Huang Ziwei saw that the Superior first-grade Healing pill had appeared, a malicious look surfaced on his face, but he still felt a little bit lucky, “It was Bai Wuya, but I never thought that he would actually be able to concoct a Superior first-grade pill. Fortunately, I didn't bet with him again, otherwise, I really would have cried with regret."

That day, when Huang Ziwei and Wang Chuan returned to their family and reported what had happened, although Patriarcg Wang Yunfei did not say much, looking at his irritable expression, they could tell that the patriarch was not only angry, but extremely angry. But, Huang Ziwei was the Pill Master of the family, and Wang Chuan was a family elder. It was not appropriate to punish any of them. If it was an ordinary person, he or she would definitely be punished by the family law.

Everyone tried to guess the source of the pill, but no one bid in the bidding block.

"I will give you 100,000 taels to get that!" Just then, a loud and clear voice sounded out in the bidding block, causing everyone to turn to look, only to see a fifteen to sixteen-year-old boy of Wu Family standing and shouting out the first auction price. Some discerning people were able to recognize that this youth was the trash, Wu Hui, who hadn't made any progress in Wu Family for seven years.

Originally, Wu Hui did not want to bid, because he did not want to attract people’s attention, but seeing that no one was bidding for his pill, he was slightly angry. The healing pill he had concocted was superior. Wasn’t it worth one hundred thousand taels?

"I'll give you one hundred and twenty thousand taels!" Another voice sounded out. It was the voice of a middle-sized clan’s disciple in the back row.

...

"One hundred and fifty thousand taels!"

"One hundred and eighty thousand taels!"

...

"Two hundred thousand tales!"

...

Wu Hui's bid was like a barrel of explosives, causing people in the bidding block to immediately become crazy. In a short quarter of an hour, the price of the superior first-grade Healing pill had reached to three hundred thousand taels. At this moment, the sounds of bidding finally decreased. In the end, the superior first-grade Healing pill was sold to a middle-sized clan in the back for a price of three hundred and fifty thousand taels. With regards to the demand of pills, the three great families were not as enthusiastic as other clans. Although it was a superior pill, all three great families had Pill Masters. Naturally, they would not waste a large amount of money on such pills. What they were concerned about was what would appear next.

"The second lot, a treasured sword made from blue crystal iron."

...

The bidding block carried out in an orderly manner. Wu Hui realized that not only cultivation methods, martial skills and Ares-class weapon had been auctioned, but various valuable herbs and barren beast cores were also auctioned. And the herbs and cores were all things that Pill Masters needed, so they were basically all auctioned by the three great families.

"The next lot up for auction is a primary Yellow Grade Martial Skill." Liu Qianqian's clear voice sounded once again.

Below the platform, Wu Hui was in low spirits as he chatted and laughed with Hai Qinglan in a low voice. He did not care about the primary Yellow Grade Martial Skill at all. Actually, it was not only Wu Hui, but the others also revealed a look of disappointment. The martial skills that were just auctioned were mostly advanced Yellow Grade and martial skills of higher grades, there was even a top martial skill. And now, Liu Qianqian was talking about a primary Yellow Grade Martial Skill, and what’s more, she even spoke in such a solemn manner.

Liu Qianqian looked around, seeing everyone's expression, her face revealing a faint smile.

"Primary Yellow Grade Martial Skill, Flame Palm, fire attribute. The auction minimum is one hundred thousand taels."

Liu Qianqian's words stunned everyone below, and they all looked towards the three Pill Masters in the front.

If one was able to cultivate this martial skill of fire attribute, he or she would definitely be a Pill Master. Fire Martial Qi only existed in Pill Master's body.

At this time, Wu Hui's face was filled with joy. He did not expect that the Fire Martial Skill he didn’t found in his family would appear here, so Wu Hui had already made the preparations to compete with the other Pill Masters. However, what made Wu Hui somewhat suspicious was that both Lin Tong and Huang Ziwei were somewhat disinterested in this martial skill of fire attribute, and that they had no intention to bid at all.

“What’s going on? Big Sister Qinglan, why don’t you bid? Didn't they say that martial skills of fire attribute are extremely rare?” Wu Hui became more and more confused, and he could not help but ask Hai Qinglan.

"The Fire Martial Skill is very rare. But for us, the fire attribute we activate is secondary fire attribute, so it’s useless for us and the power of it is pitifully small. It would be better for us to cultivate the original prime attribute. However, if one possesses the prime fire attribute, the power unleashed by the cultivation of the Fire Martial Skill would be extremely great." Hai Qinglan slightly smiled, and explained to Wu Hui.

Wu Hui had his own plans. Right now, he had already broken through to the Two-star of Profound Grade and the Wood Fire Martial Qi in his body had also increased a lot. He could just cultivate the primary Yellow Grade Martial Skill. Furthermore, in Wu Hui's mind, he had a different idea. Since fire and wood was inter-promoting, he wondered if Fire Martial Skill would be able to blow up more formidable power relying on Wood Martial Qi after he cultivated the martial skill of first fire attribute.

"One hundred thousand taels!" Wu Hui bid once again.

When Wu Hui made his first bid, many people had noticed him. When he made his second bid, he attracted even more people's attention.
