Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 882 - 34: Seizing the Treasure

It’s truly not easy to invite that old fellow Moyin to make a move.

The Beidou Auction has been languishing for some time. To attract more guests, they exerted immense effort to persuade Moyin to bring out one of his prized works.

Unfortunately, Moyin has a very stubborn temper. In the end, the auction house had to compromise and agree to the auction method he requested, for the auction of this Ruyi Bow.

"The price for this Ruyi Bow has two options. One is the normal auction method, where the highest bidder wins, with a starting price of five hundred thousand gold coins," announced the gold-plated warrior, which was met with a chorus of sighs in the Martial Arts Hall.

Five hundred thousand gold coins is enough to discourage most people.

Such a high price is unaffordable for the average person.

Qing Meng, upon hearing this, looked elated, as the price matched his expectations.

Yun Sheng also furrowed her brows.

This price was nothing to her in the past, but now she only had fifty thousand gold coins on hand.

She truly wanted that Ruyi Bow.

However, Yun Sheng didn’t give up and was still waiting for the second auction method.

Having stayed in Xianju Country for three years and acquainted with many from the Elf Clan, Yun Sheng knew that the more renowned the masters among them were, the stranger their tempers tended to be. Even clansmen who wished for them to forge something had to agree to some bizarre and harsh conditions.

Divine Wind had suffered such a loss before.

It was unclear whether this Moyin was similar in temperament to Master Mo Ke.

"The second way, also personally decided by Master Moyin, is an equivalent exchange. Anyone present who can offer an item that satisfies Master Moyin can exchange it for the Ruyi Bow. Items for the trade can be weapons, ores, or Demon Beast materials, among other things," announced the gold-plated warrior. It was the first time they had conducted a barter auction.

Compared to bartering, the five hundred thousand gold coin minimum price auction method evidently favored the Beidou Auction.

If not for Master Moyin’s insistence, the auction house would never have agreed.

The auction house had already studied beforehand that ordinary items would not catch the eye of a master like Moyin.

It was also difficult for participants to present any precious items on the spot.

Thus, the transaction method with gold coins undoubtedly held a greater chance of success.

"Five hundred ten thousand gold coins," Qing Meng was the first to open his mouth.

"Five hundred fifty thousand gold coins,"

"Six hundred thousand gold coins,"

Some people from several major families of Hou Qin also joined in the bidding.

"Ten pieces of roughly refined Purple Gold Ore."

"One Holy-grade Magical Beast Soul Stone."

Besides gold coins, others began to use objects to participate in the bidding.

Yet Master Moyin remained unmoved, sitting like a stable fisherman in the VIP seat.

"Ah, it’s a pity that we don’t have anything valuable to trade," sighed Donghuang Lingling, finding the bow quite suitable for Yun Sheng, remembering Yun Sheng’s proficiency in bow skills.

But both of them were short on money and possessed no valuable treasures, leaving Donghuang Lingling anxious.

At the auction, the price had already climbed to eight hundred thousand gold coins.

Regarding bartering, neither the rough Purple Gold Ore nor the High-level Demon Beast materials attracted Master Moyin’s attention.

The septuagenarian master, who had encountered countless rare materials in his lifetime, had received wealth from the Hou Qin military enough to last ten lifetimes. If not for the help he received from the director of the Beidou Martial Arts Hall in his early years, Master Moyin wouldn’t have put his prized Ruyi Bow up for auction.

The escalating bids sounded ironic to Master Moyin; in his view, these people were unworthy of using his Ruyi Bow.

At this moment, the gold-plated warrior received an anonymous letter delivered from the guest section.

He handed it to Master Moyin, following the customer’s instructions.

"Master, this is meant for you, from a customer, claiming it as an exchange for the Ruyi Bow."

The gold-plated warrior had no idea what the letter contained.

Moyin took the letter, opening it for a look.

For the first time, his usually calm face showed a hint of reaction.

The gold-plated warrior noticed Master Moyin’s hand tremble slightly, a peculiar gleam flashing through his clouded eyes.

The master closed the letter, engaged in a brief whispered conversation with the gold-plated warrior.

The warrior looked quite puzzled, hesitated, and returned to the auction stage, making a silencing gesture.

Just moments ago, Qing Meng and a Hou Qin military general had raised the Ruyi Bow’s price to nine hundred eighty thousand gold coins, nearly coming to blows.

The gold-plated warrior loudly announced, "The Ruyi Bow has been sold, and Master Moyin invites the owner of the anonymous letter to meet in the VIP room of the auction house."

"Wow," the already lively auction hall exploded in commotion upon hearing this.

Especially Qing Meng, who had been fiercely competing, was furious, turning green in the face.

He raged, cursing, "What kind of nonsense is this? I’ve bid nine hundred eighty thousand gold coins; what did that person offer?"

The gold-plated warrior also looked helpless, "Lord Qing, and other esteemed guests, please have mercy. This was Master Moyin’s decision, beyond our auction house’s control."

"What’s all this about control or no control? That bow, I’m determined to get it," Qing Meng spat through gritted teeth, feeling humiliated if he couldn’t deliver the Ruyi Bow to his sister.

"Lord Qing, I suggest you consider the occasion. This is Beidou Martial Arts Hall, where even Empress Qing would show some courtesy," the gold-plated warrior advised, the Beidou’s logo glaring behind him.

Qing Meng was speechless at this remark, leaving in frustration with his subordinates.

It was indeed a disappointing night for him, leaving empty-handed.

After the auction, Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling were the first to arrive at the VIP room.

Inside, the Hou Qin Artifact Refining Master Moyin and his Ruyi Bow awaited them.

After receiving the anonymous letter, the usually composed Master Moyin appeared anxious and troubled, pacing the room, deep in thought.

He occasionally glanced at the letter in his hand.

Despite containing only a sparse line of text, it somehow threw Master Moyin’s mind into a turmoil.

Upon hearing footsteps, Moyin hastily looked up, "Who exactly are you people?"
