Family Rise by Daily Intelligence-Chapter 414 - 215: Blood-Red Relic, Purple Mist Flower, City Construction Map
Wu Clan Leader and Liuu Qingmin exchanged a glance behind Fu Changsheng.
They hadn’t expected Fu Changsheng’s power and prestige to be so immense, to the extent that he could obtain a VIP Token from the Wanning Commerce Association. The Lei Family, despite also being from Anyang County, couldn’t even get through the auction doors, while they had the privilege of a private box, basking in Fu Changsheng’s favor.
The three donned their Magic Robes.
After forming the Technique with their fingers,
they saw wisps of white mist rising from the robes, enveloping their faces.
Fu Changsheng scanned with his Divine Sense.
Indeed, he couldn’t discern the appearances of Wu Clan Leader and Liuu Qingmin.
They entered through the side door.
Led by a maid to the third floor, they saw that the entire auction hall was constructed in a circular fashion, with the auction platform towering in the center. The first floor had rows of benches where people sat closely together, while the second floor had individual seats, though there was no partition between the first and second floors.
Only the third floor had separate small boxes.
Among them,
the ones with numbers fluttering on the curtains were likely occupied. Fu Changsheng glanced over and chose a box near the exit.
Once inside,
the number 68 lit up on the curtain.
Inside the box,
there was a tea table,
but only a single Grandmaster’s Chair. There was space for two people to stand on either side, but placing chairs would definitely make it cramped. Wu Clan Leader and Liuu Qingmin stood sensibly on either side.
Being able to enter the box,
they were both benefiting from Fu Changsheng’s fortune and naturally wouldn’t dream of sitting in that Grandmaster’s Chair.
After Fu Changsheng took a seat,
as the crowd poured in, the auction hall suddenly became lively, with a buzzing noise, especially on the first and second floors. However, the curtains on the third floor could block out this noise.
When the last box on the third floor lit up its number,
Boom!
Suddenly,
a powerful aura descended from the sky.
Squinting,
they saw, without knowing when, a middle-aged cultivator in a green robe walking on the wind, step by step reaching the sky above the auction hall, then sitting cross-legged, unmoving like a mountain, seemingly carrying the majesty of heaven and earth, making people dare not look directly.
Fu Changsheng’s throat rolled:
"A Great Cultivator of the Purple Mansion!"
This auction actually required the Wanning Commerce Association to dispatch such a heavyweight figure to oversee it.
Fu Changsheng’s thoughts raced:
"Could it be that the final item is a treasure coveted even by the Purple Mansion?"
Otherwise,
why would they need a Great Cultivator of the Purple Mansion?
Fu Changsheng furrowed his brows,
determined in his heart to leave early after successfully bidding for the Soul Nourishing Grass seeds.
As for the final item, he wasn’t the least interested; he knew his own weight and didn’t dare to compete for a precious treasure with a Great Cultivator of the Purple Mansion.
With the appearance of the Great Cultivator of the Purple Mansion,
the originally noisy auction hall suddenly fell silent.
Elder Qin led Qin Ruyi, followed by a dozen people carrying boxes covered with red cloth, into the auction hall. Elder Qin glanced around at everyone, smiling as he cupped his hands and said:
"I am Qin by surname and am honored to host today’s auction for all of you. Wanning Commerce Association’s auctions are surely familiar to you all. Fighting is strictly prohibited on the auction floor, regardless of who you are; any violation will result in immediate expulsion and blacklisting, never to set foot in Wanning Commerce Association again."
"I hope everyone will adhere to this rule."
"Without further ado, as I’m sure you’ve all been waiting eagerly, I will now unveil the first auction item for you."
Ding!
The hammer lightly tapped the auction platform.
The first attendant immediately presented the treasure, unveiling the red cloth, and a wave of Demon Qi instantly surged out:
"This is a pair of Tier Two Double-headed Goose Wings, an excellent material for refining Flying Spiritual Artifacts. The starting bid is three hundred, bidding begins now!"
Sitting in the box, Fu Changsheng hadn’t expected the first auction item to be his own.
Being the first item, everyone was waiting to see what would follow, so initially, no one bid. Fu Changsheng cast a Technique onto the curtain.
The altered voice sounded in the auction hall:
"I bid four hundred."
"Box number sixty-eight on the third floor has bid four hundred, any other bids?"
The third floor was filled with wealthy individuals.
People on the first and second floors believed that anything the occupants of the third floor took a liking to couldn’t be bad, and everyone was in high spirits, some even wanting a good omen.
No sooner had Elder Qin finished speaking,
than bids began to come in constantly:
"I bid five hundred."
"Five hundred thirty."
"Six hundred, I want it."
"Hey, fellow Daoist, this is Double-headed Goose Wings, six hundred is a bit low. I bid seven hundred."
"Seven hundred twenty."
"Seven hundred forty."
....
"Seven hundred ninety once, seven hundred ninety twice, sold at seven hundred ninety, the pair of Double-headed Goose Wings goes to number thirty-four on the second floor."
Double-headed Goose Wings should usually fetch just over six hundred at market price, but here at the auction, they sold for seven hundred ninety. After Wanning Commerce Association’s commission, there were still seven hundred Spirit Stones in earnings.
Fu Changsheng was quite satisfied with this price.
"The next item is Lapis Lazuli, also known as the Spirit Absorption Stone, a very rare material for Artifact Refining. It can only be destroyed with great force, and no Magic or Artifact Spiritual Power can affect it. The starting bid is four hundred Spirit Stones, each bid must not be less than fifty Spirit Stones, bidding begins!"
"I bid five hundred."
"Six hundred."
"Six hundred fifty."
"....."
The moment Lapis Lazuli appeared,
even several bidders from the third floor’s boxes started bidding.
It truly ignited the entire auction hall from the beginning.
Fu Changsheng’s target was very clear, which was the Soul Nourishing Grass.
Therefore, he didn’t bid on several other lots, maintaining a calm demeanor, but Wu Clan Leader and Liuu Qingmin next to him were tempted to bid several times, though they remembered their goal was the Foundation Establishment Pill, so they restrained themselves just in time.
