To say that the Thousand Treasures Pavillion met her expectations was an understatement.
From the very first item to be auctioned off being an extremely rare herb called the Ice Heart Imperial Lotus Flower which had very high medicinal effects and a calming, soothing effect to a person's meridians while providing a substantial boost to a person's cultivation yet despite of this, due to it's rarity, very few knew how to properly refine it which also made it hard for alchemists to maximize it's effects but of course this was nothing to Fan Zhu Xia.
In her mind, there was only one thought that ran through it and it was that Fan Zhu Xia simply had to get this herb! Especially since this was one of the herbs that Fan Zhu Xia actually lacked to fully cure an illness that her father, Fan Hui Zhong had contracted when he entered the Abyss Valley Mountain Range years before which affected his cultivation and damaged his meridians.
With a smile, Old Ma held the small jade box which held three Ice Heart Imperial Lotus Flower inside, he calmly explained it's effects before calling out and stating, "This jade box has runes inscribed that ensured that this three Ice Heart Imperial Lotus Flowers stayed in its perfect state from the moment it was harvested, ensuring that none of it's medicinal properties were lost! Now, this is sold as a whole with each of the Ice Heart Imperial Lotus Flower priced at ten thousand gold, totalling to thirty thousand gold which is the starting price. Now would anyone like to bid?"
Despite of known difficulty in refining it, quite a few people called out their bids, quickly elevating the price by several thousands. This made Fan Zhu Xia frown slightly especially when she heard a familiar voice call out.
"Sixty thousand gold!"
Startled by the voice, Chun Hua's brow furrowed deeply and asked the question in her mind, "Is that the Spirit Valor princess?"
"I'm afraid it is." Min Sheng replied with a grimace.
Apparently, Ning Yan Mei already had a room assigned to her and had only gone to the front hall of the Thousand Treasures Pavillion earlier to look around while she waited for some time to pass as she waited for the auction to start. She just had the misfortune of bumping into Fan Zhu Xia which brought her nothing and had instead caused her to suffer a great loss of face.
Feeling smug, Ning Yan Mei felt as though no one would be bidding anymore when she suddenly heard a voice that made her want to grit her teeth in annoyance.
"Seventy thousand gold." Fan Zhu Xia called out calmly, breaking the lull in bidding.
Not wanting to be defeated by her, Ning Yan Mei then shouted out, "Eighty thousand!"
"Ninety thousand."
"You wench, you better stop bidding and just let this princess have this Ice Heart Imperial Lotus flowers! A hundred thousand gold!"
Feeling her annoyance rise, Fan Zhu Xia then loudly called out, "Two hundred thousand gold!"
Indignant, Ning Yan Mei was about to open her mouth to bid again when the old servant who accompanied her coughed slightly before saying quietly, "Princess, this servant knows you are angry but please do remember that the Ice Heart Imperial Lotus Flower is extremely hard to refine and we would be hard-pressed to find an alchemist that could make a pill out of it. Why not just let it go?"
"Let it go? This princess will not! If she really wants it then I must absolutely have it, no matter what!"
Ignoring her servant's advise, Ning Yan Mei called out, "Two hundred and fifty thousand!"
Sighing, Fan Zhu Xia shook her head before calmly calling out, "Three hundred thousand!"
"Three hundred fifty thousand gold!"
"Five hundred thousand gold! Princess would you like to continue?" Fan Zhu Xia mockingly called out, despite feeling aggrieved, reason finally prevailed with Ning Yan Mei and she no longer called out a bid and stayed silent.
Upon hearing no more response, Old Ma then asked loudly, "Will there be no more bids?"
Scanning the crowd, Old Ma smiled slightly before announcing, "Then the Ice Heart Imperial Lotus Flowers is now sold to our esteemed guest! Please prepare your payment as an attendant will bring the item to your room in exchange for it!"
With fast and efficient orders, Old Ma quickly instructed an attendant and handed over the box of Ice Heart Imperial Lotus Flowers then proceeded on with the auction.
Meanwhile, in Fan Zhu Xia's auction room, Chun Hua and Min Sheng was congratulating her successful bidding making Fan Zhu Xia laugh when a knock sounded from the door.
Fan Zhu Xia excitedly turned to it before calling out, "Come in."
As soon as the attendant heard her give permission, he respectfully entered and immediately presented the small jade box to her.
Opening it, the room was filled with a gentle calming scent and all of them felt the large concentration of spiritual qi inside the box. Seeing this, Fan Zhu Xia let out a delighted laugh before turning to the attendant and handing over a pouch that appeared in her hand with a gentle flick of her palm.
"Please take it, you may check it's contents to see if it is lacking." Fan Zhu Xia said with a smile.
Taking the pouch, the attendant realized that it was a spacial pouch and once he directed his consciousness inside, he quickly took count of the gold before pulling an amount out and placing it on one of the small end tables as he hurriedly explained, "My lady, the amount inside exceeds the amount you have to pay. Since you hold a Essence Spirit Card, you have a discount of thirty percent in all transactions with the Thousand Treasures Pavillion and this gold is your discount."
A wave of understanding came over Fan Zhu Xia, then with a nod of thanks, she dismissed the attendant who quickly left in a respectful manner before she turned to Min Sheng.
"Min Sheng, use the gold I have left over to bid for all the herbs and raw materials for weaponsmaking. There should be around a hundred and fifty thousand there, if it isn't enough, I shall provide more."
"Understood."
Letting Min Sheng bid for her would lessen the chances of Ning Yan Mei from entering another bidding wae with her and thus, Fan Zhu Xia just laid back and relaxed.
Several items were further auctioned out but nothing more piqued Fan Zhu Xia's interest and most that drew her attention were a couple of hard-to-find herbs and ore that were successfully acquired by Min Sheng, that is until one particular item made Fan Zhu Xia actually pay attention.
On the stage, Old Ma revealed a High-level Heavenly Grade Weapon; an extremely long sword as thin as a cicada's wing and has a deep green color that subtly shimmered the moment it was uncovered. According to Old Ma, this long sword was made of a high-grade metal ore, Emeranite which can only be found and harvested in places with large quantities of natural spiritual qi and from what Old Ma explained, this long sword was made using all the Emeranite that the Thousand Treasures Pavillion was able to harvest.
When most of the audience heard Old Ma's explanation, they were already in awe but amongst those who actually had some knowledge in weapons, especially in how to forge it, they felt their heart's quake in shock.
To think that Emeranite, an ore that has one of the highest rates of efficiency in conducting and amplifying the user's spiritual qi two-fold while creating a balanced harmony between the wielder and their natural surroundings was used to make such a weapon! It can already be said that due to the scarcity of this type of material, most that are harvested were usually made into small little trinkets like a necklace, ring, bracelet or even an ornament that one can hang on their belts and this little ornaments and accessories are usually items which they can use to help aid and hasten the pace of their cultivation, but instead of going the normal route, the Thousand Treasures Pavillion actually had it made into a weapon and a long sword at that!
In addition to that, one of their inscripters even inscribed runes to the weapon, magnifying its strength and effects to over five times!
Just this item already stirred the crowd and Fan Zhu Xia was no exception! With a look of anticipation in her eyes, Fan Zhu Xia's lips tugged up slightly into a small smile behind her veil as she awaited for Old Ma to start the bidding on the stage.
"This beautiful sword was crafted by one of the esteemed weaponsmaster of our Thousand Treasure Pavillion and the runes were inscribed by yours truly! Of course, before we start the bidding, we would like to show you a brief demonstration to affirm the sword's strength and qualities and prove that the words I used to describe this magnificent weapon earlier was nothing but the pure truth!"
After his righteous speech, several attendants immediately brought forth a large clear crystal boulder that was commonly used to measure the strength of an attack as well as the cultivation level it corresponds with. Along with the attendants, one of the Thousand Treasures Pavillion guard came up on the stage and was left to stand just a step behind Old Ma.
Turning to the guard, Old Ma gave a nod before the guard swiftly turned to the crystal and gave a resounding punch to it's surface. Just as the guard's attack hit it's surface, a loud resounding boom and a gust of air rushed around the auction hall as the clear crystal then brightly lit up and shone a deep blue light making everyone that saw it let out a gasp in surprise.

To think that the Thousand Treasures Pavillion actually had a cultivator at the early stage of the Heavenly Sky Realm as a mere guard, it truly brought a whole new level of respect to their prestige and power.
Seeing the mixture of surprise and shock on the crowd's faces, Old Ma let out a small chuckle before saying, "This was just to show everyone the base power of this branch's leader of our guards and also to let you establish a point of reference so that you yourselves can determine the weapon's amplification. Now if you will..."
As soon as Old Ma let his sentence trail off, he handed the weapon to the guard captain who deftly took it in his hand before turning to the crystal which has once more turned to it's clear, normal state.
Without another word, the guard captain dashed forward again and swung the long sword in an arc and hit the crystal without a single sound yet the air that was generated from that simple attack was even more violent than the previous one and the moment the attack hit the crystal, it lit up and shone a bright sky blue, leaving everyone slack-jawed.
Even Fan Zhu Xia was astonished and her icy blue eyes widened in surprise before she smiled widely, making her eyes into a pair of beautiful smiling crescents.
The bright sky blue light that the crystal emitted symbolized one thing and this is the fact that shocked everyone the most.
Advanced Stage of the Heavenly Sky Realm!
This was something that the people who attended today's auction certainly did not expect!
Seeing the display, Fan Zhu Xia looked deep in thought before she turned to Chun Hua and Min Sheng and asked a question with a serious look on her face.
"Do you think Big Brother Li Jie would like that?"
