Chapter 147 – The Winner Emerges
“Three hundred million spars!” Xuan Yuan Ling Feng gritted his teeth, as he said in a loud voice.
The Wu Ji Sect had given up on the high grade equipment, since they had their hearts set on buying the last item; the Rotary Kingland.
Xuan Yuan Ling Feng raised the bid directly by one hundred million spars, which clearly indicated their rich and overbearing presence in this auction.
The people present in the hall were staring at him in shock.
“Four hundred million spars!” Wang Yun raised a higher bid without any hesitations.
The real battle had just begun, and since a ‘spirit’ weapon was on stake, no one seemed to be bothered about its actual worth anymore.
“That kind of money is simply insane, ah!” Bi Fan’s eyes were just beginning to open to his own poverty.
“When it comes to a financial competition, the City’s Sect isn’t afraid of the Wu Ji Sect.” Jing Feng smiled.
“Five hundred million spars!” Xuan Yuan Ling Feng’s eyes were flushed red, and his whole face was covered in sweat.
“Six hundred million spars!” Wang Yun said in a calm and serene voice.
It appeared as if money was worthless to Wang Yun, since his eyes showed no regard for the amount he was bidding.
Xuan Yuan Ling Feng hesitated as he opened his mouth again, but was unable to speak.
To him, six hundred million spars was a lot of money.
Even though he had this kind of money at his disposal, he was beginning to wonder if the Rotary Kingland was worth it in the end or not.
Of course, Xuan Yuan Ling Feng would definitely want to raise the bid, simply to make the City’s Sect bleed, but he couldn’t read Wang Yun’s thoughts, and wasn’t sure if the man would counter his bids.
He hesitated for a long time, but when Long Xiang Tian announced ‘Six hundred million spars, going twice’, Xuan Yuan Ling Feng finally bid again: “Six hundred and fifty million spars!”
“Seven hundred million spars!”
In comparison, Wang Yun seemed at ease.
A ‘spirit’ grade weapon hadn’t graced the auctions of the Jiu Yu City for over a decade now, and the City’s Sect had been preparing for such an event, all this time. The price was of no concern to them, and they were determined to take the weapon at any cost.
“Seven hundred million…..” Xuan Yuan Ling Feng was somewhat afraid to make another bid.
“Seven hundred and ten million spars!” Xuan Yuan Ling Feng was only trying to raise the price now.
“Eight hundred million spars!” Wang Yun’s tone was as calm as ever.
Xuan Yuan Ling Feng continued to stare at Wang Yun for a long time, but didn’t see any emotions on his face, which is why he didn’t dare to bid again.
He was afraid that Wang Yun might be playing him, and if he was forced to buy the weapon for such a high price, then it would be huge loss to his Sect.
The Rotary Kingland’s price had already reached eight hundred million spars, and he didn’t feel that the weapon was worth it anymore.
“Eight hundred million spars going once.”
Long Xiang Tian looked at Xuan Yuan Ling Feng, but was disappointed to see that the Wu Ji Sect representative was completely ignoring him now.
“Eight hundred million spars, going twice! Is there anyone who wishes to bid? This is the last chance.”
“Eight hundred million spars, going thrice! The Rotary Kingland goes to the City’s Sect!” Long Xiang Tian’s voice was clearly expressive of the joy his heart was feeling.
The auction’s proceeding had finally come to a close, and the participants would remember this unforgettable event for the rest of their lives.
A military armor being sold for fifty million spars, and a broken, low-grade, ‘Spirit’ weapon bagging eight hundred million spars was a very rare thing.
“This group of idiots isn’t even aware that they could have used this kind of money to buy a completely intact ‘spirit’ weapon in the outside world.” Yan Yu Si whispered.
Even though Yan Yu Si’s words were quite softly spoken, Ling Xin Ya heard them. He was quite surprised and said: “Are you sure? Is that possible?”
“Do you want me to buy high-grade equipment and ‘spirit’ realm weapon outside, and then bring them back to enhance the strength of the Quinyang Sect?” Yan Yu Si suddenly came up with the idea.
“Yes. If we go out to buy these ‘spirit’ weapons ourselves, then we are sure to attract thieves on the way back. But your case is different; if you’re carrying such a weapon on your way to the Quinyang Sect, then no one will suspect, and it’s highly unlikely that someone will try to rob you.” Ling Xin Ya whispered.
Yan Yu Si’s eyes lit up, she nodded and said: “Once we are back, we’ll discuss this in detail.”
Bi Fan was burning with anxiety, since he was about to get his hands on the Jade book’s master page, and was praying that it would be the right thing for him.
Recently, Bi Fan’s practice output from the methods that were described in the Jade book had dropped, since he was unable to practice some methods properly, owing to missing master page.
Bi Fan had been a little doubtful of his future practice, since he didn’t have the master page.
Out of the ten pages in the Jade book, the master page was definitely the most valuable one.
The master page!
The master page was the most important part of the book, since it would allow him to decrypt the hidden secrets of the techniques, which would play a huge role in his practice.
But for now, since Bi Fan didn’t have the master page, his practice hadn’t been proceeding very smoothly of late.
Bi Fan was about to get his hands on that master page soon and, he was so excited, that his whole body had started to tremble.
Yan Yu Si saw the sweat marks on Bi Fan’s forehead, and could sense that Bi Fan was nervous for some reason: “Bi Fan, are you okay?”
Even though she only asked him in a very casual manner, but it was evident that she was concerned about him, since she had never bothered herself with any other man in this manner before; even Shuai Ying Tian had never enjoyed this kind of concern from her.
“Nothing, I’m fine.” Bi Fan wiped the sweat off his forehead, as he tried to force a smile.
Bi Fan could sense that Yan Yu Si was concerned about him, and couldn’t help but feel a little flattered.
The Heavenly Dragon business group had a special section on the second floor of the building, which catered to the delivery of the auctioned items. People were required to go to one of the counters, and pay the money, post which, their winning would be handed over to them.
Today, the Heavenly Dragon business group had auctioned off hundreds of items, which is why even their dozen or so counters were falling short to support the crowd.
However, the Heavenly Dragon group had provided the Quinyang Sect with a dedicated counter of their own, so Bi Fan didn’t need to worry about the long queues.
Bi Fan quickly paid the money, and took the master key page of the Jade book.
Since he didn’t want anyone to see it, he quickly put it inside his Yin Yang pouch.
The Jade Book was Bi Fan’s secret, and even Yan Yu Si and Jing Feng didn’t know about it.
Yan Yu Si intended to ask Bi Fan, but since a lot of outsiders were present on the scene, she decided against it.
Luo Xiao Tian collected the Green Bladed sword, and started to fondle its blade admiringly, almost as if he was caressing and stroking a lover’s body.
He opened his mouth and praised: “This is a good sword!”
Luo Sheng and Luo Xiang craned their necks, since they wanted to get their hands on the Green Bladed sword as well. But since the sword was purchased with the Quinyang Sect’s funds, Luo Xiao Tian felt a little embarrassed to treat it as his personal property, and put it away, without allowing anyone to touch it.
Once they had collected the auction items, Luo Xiao Tian decided to lead the Quinyang delegation back to their hotel.
They went down to the hall, and found themselves facing the disheartened Xuan Yuan Ling Feng.
“Brother Ling Feng, you went down easy this time, ah!” Luo Xiao Tian smirked.
“Well!” Xuan Yuan Ling Feng replied in cold voice: “Gloat now, but we’ll see what happens at the end of tomorrow’s contest-day.”
“Let’s go!” Xuan Yuan Ling Feng led the Wu Ji Sect delegation outside. The Wu Ji Sect disciples were brimming with hatred towards the Quinyang Sect, and as they left the setting, their fierce eyes continued to glare back at their counterparts.
“In tomorrow’s contest, if you encounter a Wu Ji Sect disciple, then you’ll have to be very careful. If you’re falling short, then don’t be afraid to concede your defeat.” Ling Xin Ya cautioned.
Luo Xiao Tian said: “The Wu Ji Sect is very powerful, but you do not need to fear them.”
Ling Xin Ya didn’t bother to argue with Luo Xiao Tian publicly, since it would bring their Sect a bad name.
As they prepared to leave the building, Wang Yun came down from the second floor to greet them; Wang Feng was right behind him. (Wang Feng is the guy Bi Fan and Jing Feng met in the Devil’s territory, post the anomaly.)
“Brother Wang Yun, congratulations on taking control of the Rotary Kingland!” Luo Xiao Tian smiled radiantly.
“You too! Congratulations to you as well for obtaining your desired weapon of choice, Brother.” Wang Yun extended his greeting in response.
Wang Yun looked as if he was in his forties, and was polite as a pie. He was the City Sect’s caretaker, and was regarded as a high position official in the Sect. Since he had very close ties with the Sect’s head, no one ever dared to neglect him.
“Brother Jing Feng, young Bi Fan, we meet again.” The City Sect’s Wang Feng also came over to greet Jing Feng and Bi Fan, with a pleasant smile on his face.
Bi Fan and Jing Feng quickly returned the greetings, and the trio started to chat and laugh.
Luo Sheng was quite envious to see the manner in which Bi Fan and Jing Feng were chatting with Wang Feng, which was visible of his face.
Luo Xiang’s face was expressionless, but the traces of cold in his eyes, betrayed the desires of his heart.
