Chapter – 188 Heavenly Dragon Grass


Feng Luo had been taught a lesson by Long Yu when he stepped in the world of martial arts.


Feng Yang used to be the Governor of the outer disciples when Long Yu got admission in Zhentian sect. It was a matter of shame for him that he was defeated by a newbie like Long Yu!


As for Feng Lin, he had launched a sneak attack on Long Yu in the woods while he was on his way to the Feng clan mansion to attend the ceremony, which was organized after Feng Yun had injured Feng Longsong and proclaimed himself as the new chief of the Feng clan.


These three people, after tasting defeat at the hands of Long Yu, had left the Feng clan and had now joined the servitude of a young man hailing from some influential family.


Although Long Yu didn’t know the identity of that young man in silk robe, he was sure of him not belonging to any of the four most influential families of the Imperial city. He must be hailing from a smaller clan like the Liu clan.


“Feng Luo, Feng Yang, Feng Lin – these three boys really have no scope in the world of martial arts…”


Long Yu shook his head as he thought to himself.


Since Long Yu had no friendly relations with those three boys, he didn’t care about them.


Soon afterwards, the auction finally started.


Long Yu could clearly sense that among the other people who were present there to attend the auction, there were some distinguished personalities who had bothered to be present at the auction. One of such personalities was a middle-aged man clad in a silk robe, who carried himself in a great imposing manner – the chief of the Imperial Wang clan, Wang Jue!


Behind the curtains of the privilege cabin, Long Yu saw Wang Jue looking sharply at the crowd, as if he was looking for someone.


However, Wang Jue didn’t take much time in having a look at the crowd. Soon, he moved along with the other distinguished guests and vanished from the sight of Long Yu and Liu Yuan.


“Is he searching for us?”


Liu Yuan couldn’t help but ask softly after Wang Jue was out of her sight.


“Yes, he must be looking for us, and he wouldn’t show any kindness to us if he ever caught us.”


Long Yu narrowed his eyes and thought: If I ever get caught by Wang Jue, I would just tell him that I haven’t met Wang Yuanchen or some old bodyguard. However, the question is that would he believe me, or would he try to kill me?


In any case, Wang Jue wouldn’t be so rampant in the Lu clan’s auction house!


The auction house had a seating arrangement for around six hundred or seven hundred people, and the auction officially began once all the seats were occupied.


In order to attract more and more people to participate in the auction, Lu Fu had placed a highly valuable article for sale first: an ultra spiritual level long sword.


This long sword was named ‘Xinghai sword’ and apart from being an ultra spiritual level battle weapon, it contained the power of Xinghai tablet. Since it was a very powerful weapon, its bid started at eight thousand crystal coins!


The Xinghai principle contained by the long sword could only be comprehended by Xinghai Lun and the other people who worked with the seven calamity stars. Hence, any other martial artist could use it only as a weapon and couldn’t evoke its spiritual intelligence.


Therefore, its utility was completely different from that of the meteorite pendant.


The meteorite pendant not only provided the owner an access to the power of the meteorite principle, it also enabled a martial artist to comprehend the meteorite principle.


On the other hand, the Xinghai sword only provided access to the power of the Xinghai principle and didn’t allow its user to comprehend the Xinghai principle.


The emergence of an ultra spiritual level sword, and that too seized from someone who worked for the Seven Calamity stars, immediately caught the attention of people in the auction house, especially since the seven sects competition was about to commence and the sword could provide any martial artist an upper hand in the competition.


There stood two swordsmen among the elite group of people – one was old while the other was young. The faces of both these people lit up as soon as they saw the sword.


These two people belonged to the Raining Sword sect which was one of the seven great sects of the Tang Kingdom. The older man was Elder Qiu Xusong and the younger man was the first core disciple of the Raining sword sect, Chi Guang.


“Chi Guang, this long sword is very powerful. We shouldn’t miss it.”


Qiu Xusong’s eyes flashed with hope.


Initially, Chi Guang had no chances of winning the seven sects competition. However, his power would reach to a whole new level once the long sword would come in his possession.


“Yes, Elder.”


Chi Guang nodded as a great surge of Xuan qi flowed through his body, leading him to break the sword he was holding.


Chi Guang was a Zhenling fourth layer martial artist. Not only was he powerful, he was also determined to get the Xinghai sword.


“9,000 crystal coins!”


“10,000 crystal coins!”


“11,000 crystal coins!”


…………


As the bidding for the Xinghai sword started, the price went up enormously within a few minutes.


Long Yu had initially expected the sword to be sold at most at a price of 20,000 crystal coins, but now the highest bid so far was already of 20,000 crystal coins and was still going on!


This was beyond Long Yu’s imagination.


“Fortunately I didn’t settle for the amount Lu Fu was paying me. I surely made a better deal…”


Long Yu thought to himself.


Had Long Yu agreed to the deal Lu Fu was offering for the sword, he would’ve gotten just the base price of the sword which was set at 8,000 crystal coins. That way, he would’ve been at a loss of over ten thousand crystal coins!


However, according to the deal Long Yu negotiated with Lu Fu, he was going to get 90% of the total amount for which the sword was to be sold, while the auction house would keep the 10% of the remaining amount.


Now that the bid had reached 20,000 crystal coins, just three people were contenting for the ownership of the sword.


Obviously, these three people were seated among the group of elites. Otherwise, who else could’ve afforded to pay over 20,000 crystal coins for a sword?


“22,000 crystal coins!”


Chi Guang raised the bid.


However, his bid was soon surpassed by another person across the room: “25,000 crystal coins!”


“Three nuclei!”


Chi Guang raised the bid once more. He assumed that the opposite party was not interested in buying the sword and was intentionally raising the bid, so he thought it’d better to quote the price in nuclei. After all, who would raise the price in nuclei?


“Four nuclei!”


The person across the room quoted his bid, which made Chi Guang’s complexion change.


Four nuclei!


40,000 crystal coins!


This amount was enough to buy two ultra spiritual level battle weapons. However, the Xinghai sword had created hype inside the Lu auction house that people were ready to recklessly splurge their money over this sword.


Nobody wanted to let a golden opportunity like this to slip through their hands.


“Five nuclei!”


Since Chi Guang was resolute about buying the sword, he raised the bid to five nuclei. He was hell bent on having the Xinghai sword, even if that meant he would have to lose everything else that he had.


This Xinghai sword was going to be a battle weapon that would accompany him for years!


When the bid was raised to five nuclei, nobody dared to step forward to raise the bid again.


This price had shocked most of the people in the Lu auction house.


Five nuclei meant 50,000 crystal coins, which indeed was a huge amount for any person present there.


Only a filthy rich person could afford to splurge 50,000 crystal coins over something that could otherwise be bought for 20,000 crystal coins.


Feng Luo, Feng Yang and Feng were sitting behind the young man in silk robe and were whispering among themselves.


“Should I envy him for being so rich or should I pity him for being so foolish? I mean, how can someone spend such a large amount of money over a single sword while he could’ve bought at least four battle weapons with the same money?”


“Whoever sold this sword here is going to make good money.”


“Lu auction house has gained a lot, too. They will be making around 4,000 or 5,000 crystal coins!”


The three boys continued talking among themselves, unaware of the fact that it was Long Yu who had sold the Xinghai sword to the auction house.


Had they known it, they would’ve surely been shocked.


The young man in silk robe, whom these three boys had been following was listening their talk: “It’s not just 4,000 or 5,000 crystal coins that the auction house is going to make in this auction. The Xinghai sword is just the first item to be auctioned here. More valuable items will follow, which means that the auction house has hit a jackpot this time!”


“Mr. Ji is right.”


The three boys gave a broad smile to flatter the young man, Mr. Ji.


Sitting behind the curtains of the VIP cabin, Long Yu was listening to every word of their conversation. He was happy that such annoying people left the Feng clan themselves otherwise Feng Longsong would have to do the honours of expelling them someday.


The new Feng clan was making a quick progress under the valuable leadership of Feng Longsong and was completely different from what the Feng clan used to be like earlier.


The new Feng clan was powerful enough to gain a foothold in the Imperial city and was able to defeat the likes of Liu clan.


When the time comes, Feng Luo, Feng Yang and Feng Lin would surely realise the folly that they had committed in leaving the Feng clan.


As Feng Longsong would grow stronger, the entire Feng clan would rise with him!


The auction continued.


Now Long Yu had a total of 14 nuclei, so he could buy almost anything that he wanted without worrying about anyone else toppling his bid.


Liu Yuan was sitting beside Long Yu and was taking a keen interest in the proceedings of the auction.


She had earlier been at an auction or two and always found it interesting. Although she didn’t want to buy anything, she found it a great way to keep tabs on the prices of various weapons and other articles.


The auction houses usually sold battle weapons at the auctions since they provided immediate results. Although immortality pills and neidans were also sold in the auction, their number was quite less since the absorption of pills and neidans consumed a lot of time.


For an average person with limited means, buying an immortality pill which would take days to get absorbed was far less useful than buying a good quality battle weapon which would immediately boost their strength.


This was good for Long Yu, since if any high grade immortality pill was to be sold there in the auction, there would only be a handful of people who might be interested in actually buying it.


However, if the bid went higher than 20,000 crystal coins, Long Yu didn’t believe anyone would want to buy it.


At that time, something that might interest Long Yu was put out for auction!


“Attention everybody! Now is the time for the most precious item of the auction! Behold!”


A young girl who was a member of the managing committee of the auction house stood there, holding a fine jade box in her hands. She slowly removed the lid of the box to show its contents, which seemed like dragon grass.


“This is the mysterious level medicinal herb, Heavenly Dragon Grass. It can be used to concoct mysterious level immortality pills which can directly promote a person’s cultivation level by one layer!”


The young girl said in the appraisal of the herb.


Heavenly Dragon Grass, mysterious level medicinal herb!


The number of mysterious level immortality pills, mysterious level martial skills and mysterious level battle weapons was very scarce in the Tang Kingdom. If anyone got something of mysterious level, then it affected the entire Tang kingdom!


For example, the mysterious level Butian Dan that Feng Longsong absorbed to restore his damaged cultivation provided the Tang kingdom with a Zhenling sixth layer powerhouse!


But at this moment, Heavenly Dragon Grass was out for auction!


“Any medicinal herb, when consumed raw, wouldn’t be as effective as it could be after being concocted into an immortality pill.”


Long Yu’s face lit up.


He would buy the medicinal herb and take it to Old White to concoct immortality pills out of it.


What he didn’t know was that Old White didn’t know how to concoct mysterious level immortality pills!
