It was the day of the public sale—the pavilion’s busiest day of every month. There was a stage within the heart of the pavilion, and the open house round it was spacious sufficient to accommodate tens of 1000’s of individuals.

On the second flooring, there was a row of luxurious viewing packing containers—rooms for visitors to view the public sale in non-public. Necessary visitors or these from main forces just like the Divine 9 and the Terrestrial Ten all had their very own unique packing containers.

Earlier than the public sale began, the Weapons Grasp walked by means of the hall on the second flooring. He was accompanied by a tall white bear standing upright. It was sporting a full set of armor, wanting like an impressive normal. A wheelchair was strapped to the bear’s shoulder armor, and Tantai Jing was sitting in it.

As they moved by means of the hall, a gaggle of individuals approached from the opposite finish.

“Greetings, Weapons Grasp. It has been ages since we final met,” the middle-aged Daoist mentioned with a small smile, cupping his palms collectively and bowing barely.

“I heard you had been in closed-door cultivation at Fanghu for a very long time. So, you’ve got lastly emerged,” the Weapons Grasp replied, returning the smile.

The particular person earlier than him was Daoist Chi Niu of the Penglai Supreme Sect.

“I did not have a selection. I’ve to get the Demon-Subduing Pestle immediately.” Daoist Chi Niu shook his head. “I do not belief anybody else to do it, so I needed to come and do it myself.”

“What a coincidence,” the Weapons Grasp mentioned. “My sect is decided to get it too.”

“Hahaha.” Daoist Chi Niu laughed heartily and threw his palms into the air. “In that case, let’s examine who will emerge victorious.”

Then somebody coughed behind Daoist Chi Niu.

Wanting over, the Weapons Grasp noticed a slightly skinny man, who wore black garments and a jade belt.

The Weapons Grasp mentioned, “I assume this should be the lately superior Daoist Xuan Lu? The Penglai Supreme Sect is certainly filled with proficient folks.”

“Greetings, Weapons Grasp. Sure, that’s certainly me, esteemed senior.” Daoist Xuan Lu bowed in greeting as properly. “Regardless of who will get the Demon-Subduing Pestle immediately, it’s best for each our sects to take care of our pleasant relations.”

The Weapons Grasp chuckled. “After all. All sects following the righteous path share the identical qi; it’s of utmost significance that we keep our pleasant relations.”

He waved his black-iron hand, dismissing the concept that their sects’ relationship would bitter.

Daoist Chi Niu grinned. “That is proper! Let’s keep amicable!”

After the trade of pleasantries, each events went to their respective packing containers and sat down.

“Some years in the past, Mount Shu wished my Demon-Slicing Saber, and now they wish to combat me for the Demon-Subduing Pestle. They’re so irritating!” Daoist Chi Niu mentioned quietly as quickly as he sat down. “If it wasn’t due to their intervention, I might need already obtained the Demon-Subduing Pestle.”

Earlier than the public sale, Daoist Chi Niu had contacted the Pavilion of Celestial Destiny within the identify of the Penglai Supreme Sect, hoping to supply a worth and purchase the Demon-Subduing Pestle with out going by means of the public sale.

Usually, the Penglai Supreme Sect had a considerably higher affect than Mount Shu, because it was the highest immortal sect within the 9 provinces. So, below regular circumstances, the Pavilion of Celestial Destiny would most likely have agreed.

“Fellow Daoists, I thanks all for coming to the Pavilion of Celestial Destiny and attending this public sale. I imagine the treasures being provided tonight is not going to disappoint you.”

A cool breeze swept by means of the corridor, carrying the supervisor’s voice to each nook of the corridor.

“With out additional ado, let’s begin immediately’s public sale!”

Gonnnng. The gong was struck once more.

Two feminine servants wearing colourful garments stepped onto the stage, their skirts fluttering within the breeze as they walked. Every lady carried a golden tray lined with crimson material.

“At present’s first treasure is a pair of historical clam pearls from the East Sea!” the supervisor introduced.

He lifted the crimson material of one of many trays, revealing a pair of huge pearls.

One was a vibrant crimson, and the opposite was purple-black. Each had been shining brilliantly.

The supervisor continued, “The sunshine that the crimson pearl emits is full of yang qi, and the sunshine that the purple pearl emits is full of yin qi. The crimson pearl can dispel all concealment methods, making it unattainable for anybody to cover or transfer round stealthily throughout the vary of the crimson pearl’s gentle. The purple pearl can detect ghosts, making yin qi seen as one thing stable.”

“The beginning worth is 2 thousand Vermillion-Hen cash. The bids are to extend by at least 100 Vermillion-Hen cash.” The supervisor waved his hand. “Please elevate your indicators!”

The Pavilion of Celestial Destiny had a rule that if an individual raised their signal, it meant they had been taking part within the bid for that merchandise on the base worth, growing the bid by 100 Vermillion-Hen cash. In the event that they wished to bid extra, they needed to name out their bid.

These yin and yang pearls sounded fairly sensible, so many individuals participated within the bid for them. Chu Liang, nevertheless, simply loved watching the bidding competitors… till Wen Yulong poked him.

“Senior Brother Chu, these pearls are fairly good. They might be nice embedded into an enchanted instrument,” Wen Yulong mentioned excitedly as he gazed on the treasure on the stage. “Hurry up and bid for it!”

Chu Liang tactfully rejected Wen Yulong’s suggestion. “Let’s simply wait and see.”

The pearls had been rapidly bought for the excessive worth of 4 thousand Vermillion-Hen cash.

Chu Liang did some tough calculations. The bottom worth of two thousand Vermillion-Hen cash for the 2 pearls had definitely been low, however the successful bid of 4 thousand was very excessive. It appeared that extra money may very well be earned by means of an public sale versus a non-public sale at a set worth. Those that actually wished the objects needed to pay an extreme quantity to get them, elevating the value of the objects considerably.

Lesson realized.

Presently, the second treasure on provide was introduced on stage. It was a fist-sized chunk of crystalized wind non secular qi. The crystal emitted an excellent azure gentle that made objects inside a ten-zhang radius float.

The supervisor boasted concerning the crystal. “This merchandise is superb for comprehending the Nice Dao of the Heavens and the Earth or as an auxiliary materials for making enchanted instruments!”

“Sure!” Wen Yulong’s eyes lit up in pleasure once more. “If I had this, I may positively deliver up the standard of an enchanted instrument to a complete different degree! Senior Brother Chu, hurry up and bid for it!”

Chu Liang was feeling slightly regretful. He realized that coming to the public sale with this man was a mistake… Each time the public sale workers introduced out a brand new treasure, Wen Yulong would consider a terrific use for it and get all excited.

Who may stand that? What sort of household may afford to purchase all the things at an public sale?

Feeling extraordinarily irritated, Chu Liang firmly refused to do as Wen Yulong wished.

“If you’d like it, bid for it your self. I am not bidding for it.”
