Book 1 Chapter 58 - Travelling to Thunderburst Jade City (Part 4)

"Sold!" Li Jing shouts as the Black Meteor Rain Hammer is sold for a price of 600,000 Bronze Coins. "Congratulations to the Ba Family head, Master Ba Yu for obtaining this first auction item!" Lady Peng Hui'er announce the winner of the item as required, until Li Jing's turn. "Everyone, do not blink your eyes, this is the second item for the Grand Auction, the [Pure Molten Jade Water]. This is one of a kind special ingredients rich in Water Element properties and is the essential ingredients to refine any water related Pills. It could also be used as the material for culture hall to be smelt into Molten Jade weapon or armor, depending on your needs! Starting price is 300,000 Bronze Coins, every bid increase the price by 50,000 Bronze Coins! Please start your bid now!" Li Jing announces the next treasure, and get ready for the bidding to starts.

"500,000 Bronze Coins!" one Pill Master from Precious Tier seats starts bidding as well. When such treasure with incredible elemental properties is within the Auction, the fight for the ingredients became even wilder, and sometimes, some ingredients could achieve skyrocket price due to the difficulties to obtain it. Long Feng is looking wide at how aggressive the other bidder is, and felt that the bidding in the auction is even more ferocious than fighting in real life.

It is also because words do not take a life, thus the battle between words always depends on whose Word-Tivation is higher. Based on experience, threatening, studies and natural birth skills, one could always improve their Dao of Mouth through competing with people daily, be it in buying a single onion to buying a million coins treasure.

"1.3 Million Bronze Coins!" one Pill Master get up straight from his seat and push the price from 1 Million to 1.3 Million Bronze Coins. "Whoooo!" everyone from the Rarity Tier and Precious Tier is slightly shocked with this kind of money paid to purchase a single ingredient, the [Pure Molten Jade Water]. As Li Jing announced the item had gone to the successful buyer, Peng Hui'er continues to introduce the next item.

This continuous sequence goes until the 43rd item and was sold for an amazing 1.1 Million Bronze Coins. "Congratulations to Master Feng Xiao from the Feng Family to successfully bid this [Third Earth Grade Spirit Weapon - Typhoon Twin Dagger]." As Li Jing ends his words, Peng Hui'er continued. "The long awaited treasure everyone anticipates is here. This is our first special treasure for the day, came from a potentially amazing young Pill Master. Due to the House of Miraculous Jade only possess a total of 440 Pills in hand only, we are selling this in the amount of 100 pills each time, and it will be available throughout the auction for a total of 5 times!"

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Hui'er presents to you all, the miraculous Fourth Category Rank Pills, the [Tiger Stripes Soul Pill!]" the curtain covering the box with 100 beautifully polished Pills is shown to everyone within the Auction Hall, and giving everyone a hint of shock. The fragrance of the Pills is released with a simple rub and covering the whole Auction Hall with an addicting hint to force somebody to consume it.

"This Pill has the potential of 4 Cultivating, 4 Enhancing, and 4 Healing Points. A total of 12 points distributed equally in three different fields of focus, this Pill allows four burst of energy upon consumptions, each time is stronger than the previous. This Pill is a Sub-Version from the original Ancient Recipe, the Emperor Tiger Pill, specially came from the  Regal Medicine Hall."

"Since everyone already on standby with their bidding token, shall we starts? The opening price for this 100 Pills will starts from 1 Million Spirit Bronze Coins, each bid increase the price by 100,000 Bronze Coins. Shall we start the bidding now?" Peng Hui'er soothing sound caused all the participants within the Auction hall to goes mad. "I bid 1.2 Million Bronze Coins!" one of the guests within he hall starts his bidding.

"Two Million Bronze Coins!"

"Three! Four, 4.5 Million Bronze Coins!"

"Five Million!" one of the distinguished guest within the Oddities Hall, Ye Hao, calls for a 5 Million Spirit Bronze Coins. "Young Master Ye Hao from the Heavenly Ascension School calling for 5 Million Bronze Coins! Anyone wished to put a higher bidding?" Li Jing announces the current price. "Six Million!" Du Run Yu from the same Oddities Tier Seats place his bid as well. "Big Brother Du seems like the Beast Taming School is interested in this 100 Pills as well." Ye Hao says as he greets Du Run Yu.

"Six Million Five Hundred Thousand Bronze Coins." Ye Hao increases his bid. "Big Brother Du, please allows this junior to purchase this 100 Pills." he continued. "Seven Million." Du Run Yu hates to lose, and increase the price into 7 Million Bronze Coins. Ye Hao shakes his head for a moment, and back off. "Congratulations for Young Master Du Run Yu for successfully bid for this 100 Fourth Category Pills for 7 Million Bronze Coins!" Peng Hui'er announce his successful bidding.

The atmosphere soon became quieter and less bid-fighting is seen, because the treasure within is suitable for some, and not suitable for most. So the auction had been gone completely smooth all the way until the second batch of 100 Tiger Stripes Soul Pill. Once again, Du Run Yu spends a total of 6 Million on his bid and purchased the second batch of Pills once again. Without giving any chances for Ye Hao to retaliate. "humph! He really thinks that only his Beast Taming School have the most money in this kingdom." one of the instructors from Heavenly Ascension School comments.

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

"Third Uncle Ye, please do not get angry with this small act of showing off. We are here exactly for one specific item, remember?" Ye Hao calmly speaks with the instructor named Third Uncle Ye. Except this third uncle behind him, a total of 6 more people is standing. "My seven uncles, please do not be taunted with such small act and ruin our main concern. Du Run Yu is merely acting in such way because they wanted to disrupt our financial strength and bid that Seventh Category Pills to themselves." Ye Hao continued.

Even at one Tier seats below, Nan Jing Jing could hear his calm voice. Through this few words alone, Nan Jing Jing immediately felt that if this Ye Hao becoming an enemy of her husband, It will be easy for him to overturn the situation and destroy Long Feng without even showing himself. "This youngest disciple from Heaven Ascension School is not only calm about this kind of provocations. He could even lead the other few elder from his back to listen to his instructions. He will be one of the most threatening younger generation to my husband!"

With the second batch of Pills is purchased by Du Run Yu once again, the auction continued. Some of the items managed to attract Long Feng's eyes like the [Pure Molten Jade Water] before, but still, they are nothing too difficult to part with. But on the 61st treasure is bring out to auction, it immediately caught Long Feng and Nan Jing Jing's attention! "Husband! This is the treasure I'm looking for!" even Nan Jing Jing couldn't control her happiness of seeing this item here.

"This 61st Treasure, even Hui'er felt like participating in the auction to obtain the privileges of wearing it. Although the level of this necklace is nowhere high and nowhere low, the usage of this item is remarkably amazing. Not only it could convert surrounding essence energy into Pure Metal Element Pearls, it could also protect the wearer from being disturbed by Metal Elemental disturbance." Peng Hui'er happily announce the specialty of this necklace on top of the podium.

"Lady Hui'er, may I?" Li Jing asks for her opinion before he reveals the silk cloth covering the piece of Jewellery. "Master Li Jing, please have the honor." Peng Hui'er request Li Jing to take the honor of revealing the treasure. "Ladies and Gentlemen, the House of Miraculous Jade presents you with the First Human Grade Spirit Jewellery - Metallic Turbulence Necklace! The opening price for this treasure starts from 2 Million Bronze Coins, each bid increased the price by 200,000 Bronze Coins! And remember, this Spirit Jewellery is only wearable by a woman, so men within the hall, get ready... And let us start!" Li Jing announces the starting of the bidding for this treasure.

"Three million, four million, five, six, seven." the bidding price kept increasing without any sign of stopping in between. From the earlier period of bidding until currently stands at Seven Million, random people from each tiered seats did participate for a moment, until they are out of the league to continue bidding. The price increase to eight million, and stops there for a moment, before Luo Qian from the Oddities Tier seats speaks.

"Ten Million." her increase of price gave the people from below a shock. "What a crazy woman! She actually bid ten million on the necklace of First Earth Grade. Even in outside treasure store, you could sometimes found such treasure and doesn't even needs to pay so much for it." some other guest verbally comments about her actions. This gave Luo Qian a hint of a smile on the corner of her lips, and a new target appears within her mind.

"Eleven Million." Long Feng presents his token upwards to indicates his participation. This action garner shock from other people within the whole Precious Tier seats. "A rural village kid actually dare to bid eleven million! Does he actually have that money?" many people have comments about Long Feng's participation in the auction and look at him with a different kind of view. Some felt that he is too daring to bid against somebody from a tier above, while some think that he was just showing off to the lady beside him.

"Husband, it's not a problem, if we can't get it then let's don't bother about bidding it anymore." Nan Jing Jing afraid that this action would provoke those from the three Major Schools. "Twelve Million." Luo Qian outbid Long Feng once again. In her mind, she was thinking about how much money Long Feng could actually have in his pocket. The Profound Herb School actually provide 50 Million to Luo Qian in this auction, because of her huge amount of contribution towards the school, but now, she actually spends twelve million in purchasing this necklace, one could only say it as a huge waste.

"Thirteen Million." Long Feng increase the price without bothering about what others think. His budget currently is 13 Million. Since he has 3 more batches of his pills yet to make their appearance, Long Feng felt confident that he could purchase the necklace. The presenter looked at Luo Qian, and to the other guest within the Auction Hall before she gave a knock on the hammer and announce Long Feng's success.

"Thirteen Million once, twice, Sold! Congratulations to Young Master Li from Bronze Pill Hall to obtained this [First Earth Grade Spirit Jewellery - Metallic Turbulence Necklace] for your beloved one." Peng Hui'er announce the results, and with immediate action, Li Jing quickly soothes the current situation by bringing out another treasure to be auctioned. But no matter how lively is the auction going on, Luo Qian's eyesight couldn't help but stares at Long Feng without a blink.

She felt some jealousy from seeing how close Long Feng and Nan Jing Jing is together and anger from how Long Feng actually takes her as nothing much to be mentioned. Wherever she goes, a rain of compliments and praise always could be heard around her ears, and it was so soothing to her heart, but seeing how Long Feng ignore her beauty, she felt that that petite young Loli like Nan Jing Jing could actually threaten her beauty.

"I will make sure to enjoy that kid's Yang Essence when he grows a little more. Should I get senior Luo Gang to eat that loli instead?" Luo Qian thinks in her mind, and slowly turn her focus back to the auction. At the number 69th treasure, Long Feng's Tiger Stripes Soul Pill appears once again, and this time, It was sold for a total of 6 million Bronze Coins one again. There aren't any special ingredients that cause Long Feng to felt eager to purchase, so he does not bother to bid for any of the treasure anyway.

At the number 79th treasure, 90 Tiger Stripes Soul Pill is presented, and still obtained the price of 5 Million. All the  Upper-Rank Pills is purchased by Du Run Yu alone. A few times between the auction, Ye Hao almost felt like losing his patience, but luckily his mind and heart is well tempered, so he decided to ignore it. "purchase all you want if you insist, but do not blame me for the last item to be purchased by me!" Ye Hao speaks his mind.

"Honored guest, It is the time we finally come into the final ten more precious treasure for this grand auction!" Li Jing says. "Without any delay, shall we have all ten final treasures to be brought up to the stage please!" Peng Hui'er continues to complete the sentence for Li Jing as the employees from the back of the stage prepare to move a total of 8 treasure box covered with a beautiful and high-grade Silk Cloth, and two more cages.

"Ladies and Gentlemen! You are now in the Finale of our Grand Auction!"
