Chapter 133
Chapter 133 The Fenghuo Auction Finally Begins!
On the second day, being all rested, the Master and disciples got up early.
They headed to the Fujin Chamber of Commerce.
On the plaza of the Chamber of Commerce, a part of the auction items were already being displayed.
However, those were only small items to keep the people’s eyes busy. The real good stuff would be left at the end and be presented as a gimmick!
“Hey! Master! Look at this, the Thousands Phoenix Sky-covering technique. It’s said to be the basic cultivation method of a second-rank sect that has already been destroyed! I think this one is pretty good!” Gu Lingfei pointed at a cultivation technique sealed in a crystal box with excitement.
Jiang Yiming flipped through his memories and found that the cultivation technique was indeed pretty good, but wasn’t his eldest disciple, Gu Lingfei, too ignorant?
After all, wasn’t the Green Lotus Creation Technique much more powerful than this thing?
“Senior brother! I’m not criticizing you, but aren’t you a little too ignorant?” Dong Mi smiled.
Even he could tell that the Green Lotus Creation Technique was definitely no ordinary item.
If it were to be an auction item that was part of this auction, it was definitely a treasure that everyone would fight over!
“Hehe, I know, I know,” Gu Lingfei scratched his head.
In the past, an auction of this level would be something that they could never imagine!
To actually see these items appear before their eyes, it was only given that everyone was a little curious.
“It’s alright, it’s alright. Your words have inspired me. It’s always better to have more of these things, so if there’s a chance, I’ll buy it.”
Everyone strolled around the place. To Jiang Yiming, the things here weren’t considered rare.
After all, they could all be found in his memories.
Some of the “treasures” were just so-so.
As a once-in-a-decade grand event with many large factions participating, the Fenghuo Auction allowed unaffiliated experts to join and see the strength of the various factions.
This was also the reason why Jiang Yiming was determined to make a name for himself here, which would make the outside world more certain of the strength of the Lingyun Sect.
“What do you guys think is the finale of the Fenghuo Auction this time?” Huang Chaoyu was a little curious.
The final item of the Fenghuo Auction was usually a precious treasure that was rare even in the entire continent.
On this continent, there were all sorts of strange and valuable items. The most basic and common ones were cultivation techniques and martial skills. The more scarce treasures and various wondrous medicines would then become the target of everyone’s clamor.
“Tsk, senior brother and I have also roughly taken a look around yesterday, and the last treasure seems to be a type of medicinal ingredient.”
“A medicinal ingredient?” Huang Chaoyu was a little puzzled.
“Yes, the things that can be put on sale here can be said to be just strange, but this should be one of the reasons why the Fenghuo Auction can become a convention.”
After everyone had a rough understanding of the auction items, they returned to the inn.
Then, Jiang Yiming opened his system interface once again.
Looking at the number of spirit stones in it, he couldn’t help but laugh in his room.
The once-in-a-decade event, the Fenghuo Auction, was finally starting today! The auction venue was set up in the Fujin Chamber of Commerce.
There were three types of seats. The ones in the front row were naturally for the large forces that had been invited by the Chamber of Commerce.
After those were the seats of the sects that had spent money to buy the entry stone tablets.
The last ones were for the spectators who had come to watch.
Everyone had the right to bid, as long as they could afford it.
Jiang Yiming brought his disciples with him and finally found their seats.
As expected, the Lingyun Sect was not very welcomed. No one in the Fujin Chamber of Commerce cared about this small and unremarkable sect.
After all, how good would a sect whose sect leader only asked his disciples to come and buy the entrance stone tablet without coming personally be?
“Aren’t these people from the Chamber of Commerce a little too much of a bully?” Looking at their poorly situated seats, Gu Lingfei couldn’t help but get angry again. Jiang Yiming had already expected this situation, so his face was emotionless.
At the same time, he had already observed that there were still empty seats in the front row. The seats of the big factions would naturally be marked with the badges of the respective factions, but there were some empty seats in the front row without such marks.
Hence, Jiang Yiming had good reason to speculate that those seats were reserved for those who were willing to spend a fortune.
“Alright! Fellow friends! The Fujin Chamber of Commerce is honored to host the Fenghuo Auction this time! With your presence, our small Chamber of Commerce is honored!” A person stood on the stage, smiling as he cupped his hands towards everyone.
The venue wasn’t small, but this person’s voice could be heard in every corner.
It was estimated that he had especially practiced a cultivation technique of this level.
As expected of a large Chamber of Commerce, they were even so particular for a small host.
“Then we won’t waste everyone’s time anymore! The collection in the auction this time will be richer than any previous ones! I don’t think we can sell all the items in a day’s time, so we will be extending the duration of the auction!”
These words aroused Jiang Yiming’s curiosity. Indeed, with the Canglan Region’s geographical location, it could be considered an imporatant transportation route.
People who passed by would do business here, therefore, the wealth of the Canglan Region was indeed stronger than the other regions.
However, wasn’t it a little too exaggerated to say that?
The collection this time was richer than any of the previous auctions?
“Alright! Let’s cut the crap and commence!”
With that, the auction started.
The seats of the Lingyun Sect were too far away so they couldn’t even see what was being
sold.
“The first item! The Heaven and Earth Clear Qi Barrier!” The host had already brought out a treasure and placed it in the center of the stage, “This treasure can summon a barrier that can cover nearly ten people, and is able to withstand several attacks from a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!”
His disciples poked their heads out curiously, but Jiang Yiming was not interested at all.
Instead, he took out an ancient book from his sleeve and began flipping through it.
“Master? Such a thing is useless! We don’t need it, right?”
“The starting price for this item is thirty thousand low-grade spirit stones! Please call your bid!”
Hearing this, Jiang Yiming smiled, It’s just low-grade spirit stones. You guys can buy it and use it as a toy!”
“But Master! This…”
“Buy, buy, buy. It won’t cost much.”
Some had already started bidding, and the price had already been raised to 50,000 low-grade spirit stones.
However, in Jiang Yiming’s backpack, even supreme-grade spirit stones were in the tens of thousands.
