Chapter 739: Joy Luck Pill (I)

Chapter 739: Joy Luck Pill (I)

The auction buzzed with excitement as well as anger. They were only halfway through the morning session but this year’s Liu Wu Festival Auction was bound to go down as one-of-a-kind. The lion lord’s faction was already thoroughly provoked. Each family, no matter if they were large or small, from the young to the old, was furious at the Ten Thousand Flower Valley, the outsiders who threw away gold taels like dirt.

Zhou Ziyun and Li Yuechan were like two goddesses of wealth, showering some poor lucky bastard with free money. The lion faction that had wanted to score some good deals on items from other provinces and regions could only steam in their anger. However, this was not the most important point.

The most important point was that the two of them were spending so much that they were directly competing with the richest elders and clan heads for spots in the afternoon sessions. There were only six spots for the most cumulative money spent. With some rough calculations, many people realized the frightening truth, that these two were very likely to make it in if they continued like this.

Various people discussed the matter amongst themselves, their families, or close friends. The consensus was that they absolutely had to kick one of them or both off the six spots. If the mighty lion faction lost to two little girls, it was completely unacceptable, it couldn’t be allowed to happen.

After a break for refreshments, the morning auction resumed with great fervor. Many people had ferocious expressions on their faces as if they were about to join in a great battle.

“Emerald Memorial Sword!” The auctioneer spoke as a glowing green sword appeared on the stage, encased in a glass box, “Made of the highest quality emerald steel, containing the will and memories of the immortal blacksmith who forged the blade, this is a weapon that surpasses the limit of the Spirit Initiate Realm and has entered the lesser realms!”

The excitement across the auction hall instantly doubled. Unlike the first half of the morning, now was the time for real treasures to appear. This was when people competed for selling and buying the most expensive single item.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“For such a sword, the opening price is five thousand taels of gold and the increment is five thousand taels!”

Many people sucked in their breaths. This was five times as expensive as all other items which all started at one thousand taels with an increment of also five thousand. This was the shift, what many people had been waiting for. Those items in the range of twenty thousand, forty thousand, or even fifty thousand had not interested them at all. After all, they could easily obtain them at market price outside of the auction. However, now, the items that would start to appear would be one of a kind.

“Five thousand!” Someone quickly shouted.

“Ten thousand!” Another person countered almost instantly.

“Fifteen thousand!”

“Twenty thousand!”

The price rose frighteningly like an arrow shot out of a bow, only it would never come back down. Although this was the Beast God Sanctum and there weren’t many that cultivated the sword, it didn’t mean there weren’t any. Many people based their beast Dao on the sharpness and destructive power that various beasts had with their claws, equating it to sword energy. Some rare beasts managed to comprehend sword Dao in a similar way to humans. With this kind of beast Dao and a suitable sword, one could become especially powerful.

“Fifty thousand!”

“Eighty thousand!”

“One hundred twenty thousand!”

“Sister Ziyun, what do you think of this sword?” Li Yuechan asked.

“Three hundred thousand!”

In a flash, the price rose to three hundred thousand and showed no signs of stopping. This was something that everyone wanted. Weapons, materials, it didn’t matter. None of it was worth more than a genius, especially a genius who could become a Spirit Lord!

Everyone was going crazy. If they calmed down a little, they could all deduce the person who provided this pill. But even if they did, they wouldn’t care.

“I must have this!” A voice roared from a private box. It was like a lion, greedily declaring its intention, “Nobody else dare compete with me for this! Three hundred ten thousand!”

The person who spoke was Immortal Lion of Fortune He Xinghan. He saw this pill as the solution to his biggest headache. He would be able to solve the issue with Jin Niang and give her a child. The Jin Family would fall completely into his hands and they would even be able to publicly declare their relationship. At that time, he would not only have one genius child in Jin Zenan but another from the result of the pill. Even if he, He Xinghan, was somehow unable to reach the Spirit King Realm, his children would be able to support him in the future.

With He Xinghan’s appearance, many smaller clans backed off. They were very discontent but they didn’t want to offend such a powerful person. However, there was still a lot of competition from the largest clan heads, executive elders, as well as people from the opposing faction who didn’t care about giving He Xinghan any face.

“Three hundred fifty thousand!” A new voice suddenly joined the fray, drawing everyone’s attention.

All eyes fell on a small private box in a discrete corner, occupied by an executive elder of the lion faction.

“He Xingping!” He Xinghan roared, “What do you think you are doing?”

His spiritual energy billowed out uncontrollably, making a part of the auction shake from his anger.

He Xingping, another one of Chen Wentian’s souls, merely smiled and sipped some tea, “Apologies, my lord, my wife wishes for another child so I have to make her happy.”
