Harness Cultivator

"Liu Meng goddess, is that true?"

"Doesn't that mean we don't have to be afraid of backstabbers?"

Everyone knows that in every auction house, if someone manages to obtain a priceless item yet doesn't have the strength to back it up. Then that person would most likely end up getting killed in some corner with their winning item disappearing.

Thus, the auction house was always a double-edged sword where one must be determined to obtain and protect their item at the same time.

However, everything changes if what Liu Meng had said was true.

"Everyone, you can rest assured that what I just said was the truth. Our Young Master does not want to see a bloodbath right after a grand event. Hence, he allowed a peacetime of three months for you to prepare." Liu Meng said as she snapped her finger.

A golden light suddenly blinked out of thin air as a large piece of paper was revealed for everyone to see.

Within the paper, everyone could see the new policy rules stated clearly in it.

And the most surprising factor was the signature on the bottom of the paper.

"Oh heavens… isn't that our emperor's signature?"

"E-Emperor Zhao Qiang's personal signature… and there's even Madam Liu's signature along with her Liu Clan stamp."

"With these two signatures alone, I dare not doubt the authenticity of this new policy anymore."

Although there were still some doubts on others from the beginning, now there was absolutely zero doubt about the new policy being enforced.

After all, they must be crazy or stupid to go against the emperor and the powerful Liu Clan in here.

Unless they wished to cut off all ties with the Tianyun Kingdom, the people could only hold back for at least 3 months before they can make a move.

'Sigh, Madam Liu is indeed fearsome… Even though this new policy was introduced by her, she wanted me to give all the credits to Lee Tao.' Liu Meng sighed inwardly as she was a bit jealous of Lee Tao.

'He was being fed with a diamond spoon, yet he refused to be grateful to Madam Liu.' She cursed him silently.

Sometime later, everyone returned to their seating once they finished scanning through the large paper.

Meanwhile, back in the VIP Section, every VIP person held a solemn and profound gaze as they wondered about the new policy.

"Hmm, this new policy could be a revolutionary change in the system of the  auction house…"

"Indeed, with this guarantee of a grace period of three months, I doubt anybody would be scared of purchasing an item anymore."

"Who would have thought Madam Liu's son could create such a fascinating and bold policy for his first auction event."

Unconsciously, everyone turned their head to gaze at Lee Tao with their thoughts unknown.

'What the hell are these people staring at me for? Did I spill my tea accidentally?' Lee Tao raised an eyebrow.

Since he had stopped paying attention to the auction happening downstairs, he didn't manage to learn what had happened. 

"Psst, what is going on here, Tang Lingling?" Lee Tao whispered softly to Tang Lingling.

Tang Lingling was still massaging his shoulders, and upon hearing his whisper, she leaned down a bit.

Her lip was close to touching his ear as she responded, "Madam Liu had given you the credit of creating a new policy, so now everyone is looking at you in a new light."

"New light?"

"Yes, a new light. With the credit of being the first person to change the system of an auction house, people would now re-evaluate their opinion of you."

Lee Tao felt his heart thumping in pain as he cursed his mother silently.

'Why did she put me in the damn spotlight… How the hell am I supposed to harness other's cultivation if everyone's eyes are on me?'

With tears leaking through some of his eyelids, Tang Lingling thought Lee Tao was experiencing tears of joy.

'Lee Tao… seems like he's a human as well. To think he would be this emotional when he realized how much work Madam Liu had done for him.' She thought.

'Let me work harder to give Lee Tao a great massage.' Tang Lingling exclaimed inwardly as she put in extra work to massage Lee Tao.

Meanwhile, Zhao Wenxu held a suspicious gaze at Lee Tao.

Her eyes were narrowed as she still couldn't believe someone like Lee Tao could possibly come up with this new policy.

'Wait a minute… didn't Madam Liu come to our house three days ago? She even had a secret conversation with father.' Zhao Wenxu then recollected her thought process as she tried to connect the pieces.

Afterward, she held a disgusted expression at Lee Tao.

"As expected of a Young Master… always relying on their parents while showing absolutely zero work besides creating troubles." She mumbled softly and her opinion of Lee Tao had dropped to a negative value.

While the VIP Section was full of different kinds of expression, downstairs, Liu Meng had already begun stating the price for the flying treasure.

"The new policy would work all across the auction house created by Madam Liu and now, we should begin the actual auction. For this flying treasure, the starting price is 1 spirit stone." Liu Meng announced loud and clear, shocking everyone for the price.

"1 spirit stone for a flying treasure?"

"W-What kind of blasphemy is this?"

"Is this also Young Master Lee Tao's idea?"

The crowd was filled with confusion, excitement, and anticipation. 

After all, 1 spirit stone is worth nothing in front of them, and in a high-class auction event, they expected the flying treasure starting price to be at least around the millions.

Liu Meng giggled softly as she announced the price tag once again for everyone's confusion.

"As I have said before, this flying treasure is priced at only 1 spirit stone and the highest bidder shall take home a grand flying treasure that would allow them to soar to the sky."
