The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 276 - 274: Auction (Monthly tickets!!!)

Chapter 276: Chapter 274: Auction (Monthly tickets!!!)

Shen Luo’s face was calm as he bowed respectfully towards every ghost around him.

Li Shuang did not glance sideways, ignoring Bai Yan from beginning to end, and did not look at Shen Luo and the others. However, maybe out of respect for Bai Yan, or because of the premium token, the other ghosts nodded at Shen Luo.

This scene somewhat irked Black Pattern, who snorted coldly but held back from saying anything further.

“Bai Daoist friend, we’ve been here for quite some time. When will the trading conference begin?” shouted the ghost with a boar-like face.

“Indeed, when will it start? Give us a clear answer!” As soon as the words were out, the other ghosts joined in agreement.

“Everyone, please remain calm. Due to some matters, Yu Guan the Great is running a bit late. The trading conference will begin very soon.” Bai Yan apologised, giving a bow to everyone present.

“Yu Guan!” A thought flashed through Shen Luo’s mind. Wasn’t that the name of the child who gave him the token?

Just as Bai Yan finished speaking, a wooden door in the hall was flung open, and two figures, cloaked in black robes and wearing masks, emerged from within. One was tall and the other was short.

The tall figure was no shorter than Li Shuang, thin like a bamboo pole; the short one was only three feet high, akin to a child.

The two masked figures did not approach the hall, instead, they stood on either side of the wooden door.

“We welcome the arrival of the Great Yu Guan,” they bowed respectfully and declared in unison.

“We welcome the Great Yu Guan,” echoed everyone in the hall as they stood up to bow, including even Li Shuang, their faces solemn.

Shen Luo and Xie Yuxin were a beat slow to react but quickly stood up and bowed like everyone else.

As the words fell, they heard the sound of footsteps accompanied by a smacking noise from outside the door.

Shen Luo was curious and slightly lifted his eyelids to look ahead. He was surprised at what he saw.

He saw a child in a grey robe come in, licking a sugar-coated haw stick, a typical street snack. It was none other than the child named “Yu Guan” who had given him the guest token.

“Ah, sorry I got held up by something important on the way. Everyone, please sit down,” Yu Guan slumped into the chair in the middle behind the wooden table, speaking in a toddler’s voice.

Everyone in the hall took their seats upon hearing his words.

After Shen Luo sat down, Xie Yuxin seemed quite astonished seeing Yu Guan. Her action of sitting down was slightly slow, attracting some attention.

“As expected, you indeed came! It seems my Wheel of Observation technique is slightly accomplished. I didn’t guess wrong!” Yu Guan noticed Xie Yuxin, then saw Shen Luo next to her. He gently patted his chubby hand on his chest, looking very pleased.

“Thanks to the token kindly bestowed by the great Yu Guan, we were able to enter here.” Shen Luo quickly stood and thanked him, not fully understanding what Yu Guan’s Wheel of Observation technique was about.

“It’s a minor matter, not worthy of mention. By the way, have you visited the Nameless Wild Shop?” Yu Guan waved his hand and changed the subject.

“Yes, we did have some gains. Thanks again for the suggestion.” Shen Luo thanked him again.

He did not make this up: the discovery of the Netherworld Bamboo was indeed a game-changer that significantly increased his wealth!

“Good! Since you have done as I suggested, you should make a lot of gains at this trading conference.” Yu Guan nodded in approval and added after some thought.

“I am grateful for the kind words of Yu Guan the Great,” replied Shen Luo as he sat back down.

However, at this moment, all the ghosts in attendance were once again sizing up Shen Luo and his party, especially the looks thrown towards Shen Luo were full of curiosity, speculating about his identity and relationship with Yu Guan. Even Li Shuang glanced toward Shen Luo.

Heiwen snorted coldly, his face showing distinct disdain.

“Lord Yu Guan, it’s getting late. Shall we start the trading conference?” Bai Yan stepped forward and asked Yu Guan.

“Let’s begin.” Yu Guan waved her petite hand.

“Everyone, before the start of the trading conference, let me explain. The process this time is the same as before. The first part is the auction held by our establishment, where many Daoist friends compete by bidding with immortal jade, or could also mortgage items. The specific estimation of value will be decided by us two, and Lord Yu Guan and the highest bidder wins.” The two masked men walked onto the stage. After saluting the ghosts present, the taller masked man started to explain the rules.

“As for the latter part, it is time for the Daoist friends present to interact freely. We will not interfere, but if you need us to evaluate any items, it costs five immortal jades for each time.” The shorter black-robed masked man added.

The ghosts present seemed to understand these rules already and were nodding their heads, expressing no objections.

“Now that everyone understands the rules, the trading conference will officially commence. The first item up for bidding, the top-grade magical instrument, the Frenzied Flame Blade. It contains nine prohibitions. This blade is refined mainly from sun tungsten, which is not only extremely sharp but can emit flames capable of melting gold and iron… The starting bid is ninety immortal jade, and each price increase cannot be lower than three immortal jade.” The short masked man announced the start of the bidding and simultaneously made a sweeping gesture with his hand, and a fiery red battle blade appeared on the table.

“Ninety immortal jades!”

“Ninety-three!”

“I bid one hundred immortal jade!”

As soon as his voice fell, soon people started bidding, and after a round of competition, it was bought by the Ghost Peninsula for a price of one hundred and sixty immortal jade.

As this was Shen Luo’s first time attending such an auction, he found it intriguing and silently shook his head after watching the first round of bidding.

Although this Frenzied Flame Blade was indeed a top-grade magical instrument and of great power, it was equally not cheap. He didn’t have a lot of immortal jade, and his main purpose wasn’t here, so naturally, he wouldn’t add to the hype.

After the short masked man and Ghost Peninsula made a brief exchange, he again took out an item for auction. It was a stack of greyish-white flags, with some flame runes on them, and several grayish-white jade discs, which were a set of array tools.

“The next item up for auction is a set of Yinhuo Chain Array tools, created by the well-regarded City of Ghosts array master, Mo Yuzi. The quality is top-notch. This array can cover a range of up to thirty feet and can launch up to eighteen Yin Fire attacks on anyone trapped within it… The starting bid is sixty immortal jade, and each price increase cannot be lower than two immortal jade.” The short masked man introduced.

Upon hearing this, the interest of the ghosts present was immediately piqued, with some even showing clear signs of attraction in their eyes.

Array Techniques is an important branch in the Cultivation World, no less inferior to branches like talismans, elixirs, with each having their own merits.

Like talismans, array techniques also draw power from Heaven and Earth through formation patterns to generate God’s power. Even if the array is set up correctly, it can generate up to ten times its power.

However, the setup of an array is difficult. Even a master proficient in array techniques needs to spend a lot of time to complete it, and must know how to adapt to the environment and flexibly borrow strength. The entire process is extremely complicated.

But having formation flags and discs, you just need to bury them underground according to the rules and positions, which is rather convenient.

Shen Luo looked at the array tools on the auction table, showing some interest.

Because of his experiences in Dreamland, he was no longer unfamiliar with setting up array formations. He even personally set up a small array in Longevity Village and had some understanding of this field.

This Yinhuo Chain Array was truly excellent in both offense and defense. Judging from the runes on the formation flags and discs, its power was even stronger than the Six Harmonies Fire Array that Yu Yan and the others displayed in Donglai County Town. It was truly valuable.

Unfortunately, he didn’t have a lot of immortal jade, and he needed to save some for other purposes, so he couldn’t bid recklessly.
