Chapter 521: Auction (2)
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Sima You Yue and the others had come in early. With Third Mo and Wu Lingyu as their walking encyclopedias, they had a good understanding of where each and every single person had come from and under which banner they were under.
What made Sima You Yue surprised about was the position the Xuan Yuan Pavilion held in the entire Ancient Primordial Lands. Even powers that were strong enough to build their own kingdom were only given a seat in the main hall. By the looks of it, they didn’t even have a single complaint.
They waited for about an hour before the main doors to the auction closed. Those who were late had lost the right to enter.
Following the sound of the door closing, an elder with a head full of white hair stood on the auction stage. When they saw him, many people in the room sucked in a breath. The old man had given them quite a scare.
Sima You Yue saw that elder with an exceptional disposition and asked curiously, “Who is that? He actually got such a big reaction.”
Third Mo and the others were surprised as well, and only came back to their senses after she spoke, saying, “That is the the Pavilion Master of the Xuan Yuan Pavilion Master’s outer pavilions, Jun Cang. His rank is even higher than those Pavilion Master s in the central regions. It has already been many years since everyone has seen him. Who would have thought that he would be the host of today’s auction.
Qin Mo nodded his head as he said, “It really gives one a huge shock.”
Sima You Yue never thought that a person like this would actually come to be the host of today’s auction. Although the scale was rather big, he had no need to appear personally, right?
She took a look at the stage below and saw that Jun Lan and Jun Tian were both there. There was also a manager of the Xuan Yuan Pavilion Master .
“This lowly one is Jun Cang, I believe that everyone should recognise this old face of mine, so I will not say too much about myself.” Jun Cang said with a smile, “I welcome everyone to participate in our auction this round. Mm, everyone can see that there are many items here this time, and their quality is high. I am sure that everyone will return home satisfied. Of course, that is only if you have enough crystal stones, ha ha ha.”
Eh-
Everyone one in the Xuan Yuan Pavilion Master had faces like 囧. Pavilion Master .. How could you speak this way?
Sima You yue looked at Jun Cang. Why did he remind her of that old and crazy fictional character,Zhou Botong? Could he really open the stage this way?
However, this was the truth in any case. If they didn’t have enough money, they wouldn’t be able to take back any winnings
“Cough cough-” Seeing that Jun Lan and the others were glaring at him, Jun Cang pretended to cough. He didn’t care about their reactions and continued speaking, “I am not somebody who likes to drone on and on, you should all be familiar with the rules, and if you don’t know, you can ask those who do. Mm, this is all. Let’s begin the auction!”
After speaking, he knocked down once with the auction mallet, as a lady dressed in an emerald muslin and a long skirt carried a tray up. It was a signal that the auction was starting.
Sima You Yue was truly speechless towards this old man. She figured that Jun Lan and the others truly did not want to let him host the auction.
The truth was just as she had thought. Jun Lan and the others were helpless towards the appearance of the Pavilion Master as well. Initially, they wanted to let Jun Lan host it. However, who would have thought that he would appear here last night, saying that he wanted to host the auction.
The reason that he gave was that the auction this time was one a large scale and was afraid that they would not be able to handle it. With his appearance, nobody dared to refute him. However, Jun Lan and that manager rolled their eyes unconsciously. What did he mean they couldn’t handle it… he had very clearly come here to play.
And how true it was. He had really felt like coming to have a bit of fun at the auction so he had thought of becoming the host. He truly didn’t have the pressure of a Pavilion Master .
“The first item for auction is an eighth ranked Expansive Pill. With this pill, the person who is almost at the limit of their lifespan can add another thirty years. Although thirty years doesn’t seem to be a long time, where it can pass by in a single closed door cultivation for some, with this Expansive Pill in your hands, you might be able to advance in rank within these thirty years. Would you then gain another few thousand years? Alright, I won’t say anymore, everyone knows how important this pill is. The auction for this has begun, the starting bid is ten thousand middle ranked crystals stones, the bid starts now.”
Sima You Yue never thought that the first item for auction would be something so precious and expensive. An eighth ranked pill master on the continent was more than just rare, but it was still possible to find. However, to refine the Expansive Pill was a difficult feat. The basic ingredients were hard to gather, furthermore, there might even be losses during the refinement.
Furthermore, the auction this time actually didn’t follow the usual order of saving the best for last. They took out such a rare item from the onset. It could be considered to be breaking their past rules.
“Eleven thousand middle ranked crystals!”
“Twelve thousand…”
“Fifteen thousand…”
“…”
Sima You Yue and the others did not participate in the bid. They had yet to reach near the end of the bid. Also, compared to the Expansive pill, she was more interested in receiving the ingredients necessary to refine the Monarch Pill. Also, the money she had was prepared for those ingredients. She had no plans to waste them on these items.
Once Sima You Yue recollected her thoughts, Jun Cang was already prepared to knock down with his auction mallet.
“Two hundred thousand middle ranked crystal stones going once, two hundred thousand middle ranked crystal stones going twice…”
“Two hundred and ten thousand…”
“Two hundred and twenty thousand…”
Sima You Yue noticed that in the beginning, bids were called out quickly and competitively. It could not help but be impacted by the competitiveness of all the people below. The price had already increased to more than twenty times. Furthermore, when she saw the way those people were fighting over it, the two hundred thousand didn’t even seem expensive to them!
Finally, the Expansive pill was bought off at a price of three hundred and ten thousand. It was about thirty times more than the starting bid.
Everyone knew that the Expansive Pill was definitely not worth this price. However, because it was an auction, the price had been racked up by their bidding.
As such, Sima You Yue started to plan and wonder how much the item she wanted would cost, based on the current situation.
The first item was collected and delivered into the hands of that bigger. Then, the second item for auction was brought up.
“The second item up for auction is something pretty amazing. In the past, we had an elder who was said to have ascended to the Emperor Rank. Everyone should know who I’m talking about?” Jun Cang promoted.
“Emperor Qing Dao. There’s nobody in the ancient primordial lands who doesn’t know of him.” Someone below answer.
“Then you should also know that he used a divine tool, Heaven’s Halberd?” Jun Cang said mysteriously.
“Pavilion Master Jun, you wouldn’t be saying that the auction up for sale is Emperor Qing Dao’s Heaven’s Halberd, right?” Someone asked.
“Ha ha, you guessed it. The item up for auction is the Heaven’s Halberd!” Jun Cang grinned widely as he pulled off the red cloth on the tray as he continued to speak, “This is a portion of Heaven’s Halberd. Although it is a defective piece, Heaven’s Halberd that was used by Emperor Qing Dao was not. Everyone knows that at the end of a cultivator’s life, we gain comprehension. This is a divine weapon used by Emperor Halberd, so you might be able to comprehend something if you take it home! The starting price is twenty thousand middle ranked crystal stones, the bid starts now.”
In the beginning, when those people heard that it was an item that Emperor Qing Dao had used before, they were all beyond themselves with excitement and couldn’t wait to begin bidding. However, when they heard that it was a defective good, everyone hesitated.
That was why, when Jun Cang said that the bidding had started, it seemed as if nobody was going to start bidding.
