Chapter 55 The Auction Begins
55 The Auction Begins The Records of Myriad Treasures contained the details of various treasures of heaven and earth. Most of them were natural treasures while some of them were the byproducts of cultivation.
After comprehending three volume worth of it, Long Ming could call himself a master appraiser.
When his Heavenly Revelation Eyes gazes through the entire area, Long Ming felt this Desolate Immortal Aura was also awakening.
Desolate Immortal Aura was a divine class ability he got from the first system. Long Ming could guess that its effect wasn't simply to increase his charm. After all, Desolate Immortal Aura was one of the reasons why he could obtain the Heavenly Comprehension Heart.
The ethereal aura around him seeped out as Long Ming felt a strange connection between him and his surroundings. It was as if he turned into air and touched everything, feeling everything.
He could feel the presence of every treasure in his vicinity, their power, their aura, everything about them was crystal clear to him.
" Senior Brother, Look at that. That looks like a Noble grade rune inscription brush." Luo Yingying tugged Long Ming's sleeve as she walked to a nearby vendor.
" Hoho, Young Miss's eyes are really sharp. Indeed, This Rune Brush was used by a Royal Class Talisman Master. It was recently discovered from a tomb." The shopkeep explained with enthusiasm.
" It is said that the brush also contained the traces of enlightenment of that Royal class Talisman Master." He held the brush as light runic chains appeared around it.
" This is… Seven Stars Runic Lock? Only a Royal Class Talisman Master can do it."
" Hehe, Of course, I always sell authentic things." The shopkeeper nodded. " Since Young Miss is interested, I can give you a discount. 400,000 Mid grade Spirit stones."
" What?! 400,000?"
Luo Yingying took a sharp breath as she frowned. " Isn't that too much?"
" Well, Along with a Noble grade treasure, you are also getting a used item of a Royal Class Talisman Master. 400,000 Mid grade Spirit Stone is already quite a good price."
Long Ming narrowed his eyes as he glanced at the brush. When he tried to connect it with his Desolate Immortal Aura, he only got a very faint response.
Although Long Ming got knowledge regarding natural wonders, he is still ignorant about the appraisal of man made treasures. However, he got a solution for that also.
' Temporal Fate Simulation! Reveal the past!"
Combining his Heavenly Revelation Eyes and Temporal Fate Simulation Technique, Long Ming started to see what happened to the brush in the past.
The brush was created by using the cheapest materials. After that, The brush was wrapped in a powerful talisman for several days till the talisman's aura hot absorbed by the brush. Not to mention, There was a Hallucination Diagram inscribed on the body of the brush.
Long Ming used his Heavenly Revelation Eyes to check and he found some traces of the Hallucination Diagram on it.
" Well, How unfortunate. I don't think we have money to buy a flashy low-grade brush made up of Black Locust Wood."
" This!!!"
The shopkeeper nearly got a heart attack when he heard Long Ming. However, Long Ming's aura burst forth as he glared at the shopkeeper.
" I… I don't know what you are talking about." The shopkeeper sweated. Luo Yingying was also confused. " Senior brother, Are you saying it's not a genuine item?"
Long Ming grinned. " Well, Since it can produce Seven Stars Runic Lock in the air, why don't you imprint it on talisman paper right here?"
" Uh, About that… Using the things before selling isn't ethical…" The shopkeeper coughed lightly. But when he felt powerful pressure from Long Ming, he shut up.
' What is this person's cultivation base? Why his aura is so suffocating? It was as if I am being judged by high heaven itself…' The shopkeeper mumbled inwardly.
" Well, It's obvious that lots of fake things gets sold here in vendors. However, If words get out taht you are tricking people, won't your reputation will plummet nonetheless?" Luo Yingying became angry.
" Heh, It looks like I got exposed." The shopkeeper's expression changed as he chuckled a bit. Long Ming was already ready to attack him if he pulled out some underhand fuckery.
But then, the shopkeeper with his vendor suddenly vanished from there, leaving a cloud of dust. Luo Yingying and Long Ming couldn't even notice how he escaped.
The only thing that remained was the human mask on the ground, which was ripped to shreds.
" Hateful bastard! I almost got tricked!" Luo Yingying stomped her feet in anger. Long Ming couldn't help but laugh at that.
No wonder why they are so fearless. Under the protection of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion and using disguise, they can scam people as much as they want.
And if they got caught, they can just dissappear.
" Don't worry, Junior Sister Luo. Since I am here, I will help you get some bargains." Long Ming chuckled as his Heavenly Revelation Eyes spread across the area.
" Junior Sister, That's Blue Water Bamboo. It's an excellent material to craft a brush."
" This ordinary-looking rock is actually Core Earth Crystal. You can use this to craft an Earth attribute talisman."
Luo Yingying became stunned as Long Ming went on a shopping spree. He purchased some random items, but he explained the true usage of them. But then, Luo Yinying became scared when he spent 200,000 Mid grade Spirit Stones for a pendant.
" Senior brother, 100,000 spirit stones for this, Isn't that bit too much?" Luo Yingying hastily spoke. Long Ming didn't mind her as he spent money from his own wallet. He still has 10,000 High grade Spirit stones which is equal to the 10,000,000 Mid grade Spirit stones.
After he purchased, he returned to the main spot to meet with Mu Qinglian. " Well, This jade pendant is for Sister Mu."
" En? Why did you bring me a present?" Mu Qinglian raised her brows. " How much did it cost?"
" 200,000 Mid grade Spirit stones." Luo Yingying spoke. Mu Qinglian's expression changed.
" Well? That's pretty pricy. Did you pay on your own? What's the use of this pendant?" Mu Qingliang's brows arched slightly.
" This is a Spirit Nourishing Jade carved into a pendant. Although it's currently an Earth grade treasure, it can boost one's Spiritual Energy. Not to mention, with constant refinement, it can become a Noble grade, no Royal grade Treasure."
Mu Qinglian's expression changed when she heard that. Spirit Nouring Jade is a precious treasure of nature. It's used to heal the wound inflicted on soul and boost spiritual energy. It's worth more than 200,000 spirit stones that Long Ming spent.
" This pendent truly disguised the Spirit Nourishing Jade well. Without eyes of an expert, one can't tell them apart." Mu QInglian pursed her lips as she gave a light smile to Long Ming.
" Thank you. I guess it was good since you came with us."
As they walked and talked, the auction in the building of Hundred Treasure Pavilion was almost starting.
Long Ming's eyes widened when they entered the inside.
It was like a smile stadium with sitting arrangements. It can accomdate a few thousand people at least. However, Long Ming and others went to the VIP cabinet which was big as a room. From the glass window, they could see everything clearly.
Soon, the lights in the pavilion dimmed as the stage lit up. A women wearing a sexy red dress walked on the stage. She was beautiful and her dress was dancing between the realm of modest and promiscious.
" Greetings, ur dear guests from faraway. Welcome to our humble auction. I hope the auction of Hundred Treasure Pavilion will satisfy your needs."
Soon, the auction begun as dazzling items came on the tsage one after another. The first dozen items were for common folks. However, afteter that, the true treasures started to appear.
" This item is a bottle of True Core Supplementary Pill. For cultivators of True Core Formation stage, this pill is like an elixir. A bottle of High grade pills, bid starts from 50,000 Mid grade spirit stones!"
" 60,000!"
" 80,000!"
" 100,000!"
" 130,000" Mu Qinglian bidded. When Long Ming and Luo Yingying looked at her, she sighed. " It's for you, Luo Yingying, You already reached the peak of True Core Formation stage. You should hurry up and ascend to the Primordial Spirit Unification Realm."
" But it's too precious. I can ascend to the next realm on my own. You should get it to distribute among other sisters." Luo Yingying shook her head.
However, as Mu Qinglian increased the price, another VIP room also did same. Soon, the bid reached 250,000. Long Ming's eyes narrowed as he held Mu Qinglian's palm.
" Don't. Let's stop for now."
Mu Qinglian was startled, but she nodded. As for the next item, It was a five hundred year old spiritual herb. Mu Qinglian started her big at 50,000 Spirit stones and soon, the other VIP room started to bid against them.
Mu Qinglian and Long Ming's eyes narrowed when they saw that. " You guessed right. Someone is trying take us down."
Luo Yingying grimaced. " It must be those Blissful Heaven Temple bastards. But now, How can we purchase the things we want?"
Long Ming pondered. " I guess we need to split up. Luo Yingying, You should go to the lower floor and bid against us for two items. After that, we will notify you whatever we are going to buy and you will buy it."
Mu Qinglian understood what Long Ming wanted to do. Separating Luo Yingying and making her compete against themselves, it will create a simple illuion of two different parties.
Not to mention, it's a common occurence that some big shots rather sit in commoner's pavilion than VIP rooms.
And after that, Luo Yingying can safelt get the things Four Season Valley wants. Luo Yingying wore a veil as she nodded. After she left, a servant came to the VIP room to serve snacks and wine.
Long Ming's eyes flashed as a grin appeared on his face.
" Ey, brother. You don't look new here. Since when you are working here?" Long Ming smiled lightly at the servant.
