Chapter 35
I nodded and left the building. With a new spear in hand, I needed to get used to it. I needed to follow the system’s skill assist for this new spear and maybe master the fifth strike as well. But all of this was for later. I needed to go back into the city.
After the martial gathering finishes, I will probably be going to some sect immediately. And I know that the sect will not be like a market place. I needed to convert all of my pills into money right now so that I could buy something that I could use. Maybe a few herbs that I could use to increase my cultivation as well.
I walked towards the exit. People all over the estate looked at me. They looked at me with complicated expressions. Why wouldn’t they? I was now the representative of the Liu Family. From the idiot young master to the strongest young master, it was quite a jump in status. I shook my head, chuckling.
The guards at the entrance bowed to me as I left. I could hear them talk about me.
“Did you hear? Liu Feng won the Liu Family gathering! No one can believe it! Who would have thought that the things he did were just an act to disguise that he was preparing for something like this? Who would have though? I just cannot believe that I treated him like this. What is going to happen if he wants retribution?” the guard was talking to the other. None of them seemed to understand that I could hear them.
I walked through the streets, and when no one could immediately recognize me, I took a hat and cloak from my spatial ring and put it on. Then, I went to the Shianxi Auction House. It was better to go somewhere that would know how to treat you.
I was stopped by the same attendant who greeted me the first time I came to the auction house. After that, I was a frequent visitor here, buying and selling ingredients and pills.
The attendant bowed as she saw me. She let me in the waiting room and hurried inside to call the manager. For an alchemist like me, only the manager was high ranked enough to deal with me. The manager returned with the attendant, and he looked at me.
“Master! It is always a pleasure to see you. Are you here to buy, or to sell?” he asked me, rubbing his hands together. I knew that he could smell a profit.
“When is the next auction going to happen? A grand auction?” I asked.
“That, I am afraid, will take some time. The last time that you were here, you got lucky master. You just came in time for the grand auction. But the normal auctions happen once a month. The next auction is just tomorrow. We put it tomorrow because there are many who want to prepare for the martial gathering and tomorrow is the best time to get the last resources.” the manager said.
“Then spread word. By the end of the day, every one in the city should know that you have four foundation establishment pills that you are ready to sell. And these are not those stupid low ranked Foundation establishment pills. These are the real deal. I think that they will help increase chance of breakthrough my 60%? Maybe more?” I said as I took out the jade box with the four pills within.
“Four foundation establishment pills!” the manager’s smile widened and his eyes widened. The joy in his face was apparent.
“How much do you think they will go for?” I asked.
“Each one would go anywhere in between five and ten million spirit coins!” the manager nodded vigorously.
“Is there anything interesting tomorrow? I am inclined to join myself.” I smiled.
“Well, please do not tell anyone else this, master, but there are a few interesting items that will arouse even the top clans to join. Aside from the not one, not two, but three whole skills that we are selling this time around, there is also the main item of the show, a mythical sword that has been discovered in an expedition by an adventure team. It is beyond the rank of a Heaven ranked weapon, and no one knows how powerful it can be in an actual match. No one can gain it’s authority and permission.” the manager said.
“Authority? These high ranked weapons have their own will, do they? I see. This is also interesting. I think that I will be very inclined to get one of the items for myself.” I smiled as I headed outside. Just at that moment, the system pinged.
Ping!
“Host must urgently take two steps forward and five steps to the right to go to the shop with an incredible item within!” the system buzzed.
I nodded and I went to the shop that the system was so keen about.
“System suggests that Host buy the jade trinket dangling on the side. With the carving of a dragon within it. The trinket has a vague draconic aura that can trigger the egg in Host’s possession. It will probably even catalyse the awaken and hatching of the life form within.” the system said.
My eyes sparkled. I waited for a long time, but nothing seemed to happen to the egg that the system made me buy. It seemed like a useless buy. Now that something seemed to happen, I was incensed.
“How much for this trinket?” I asked the shopkeeper.
“You have a good eye, sir! It is just three bronze coins.” the shop keeper said.
I did not bargain. I had no reason to. I gave him the money and snatched the trinket. Putting it inside my spatial ring, I ran back to the estate. I needed to try this immediately.
It was just something too big to resist waiting.
