The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 112

Chapter 112: Success

The old man took a glance at the people downstairs and upstairs, everyone showing somewhat obvious impatience. He cleared his throat and said, “This is a young egg of the Blue-Blooded Wolf and because its value is rather high, the auction house decided to conduct an exchange of equal value. As long as one of you can produce an item of equal worth, after going through Seven Stars Auction House’s assessment, then this young egg of the Blue-Blooded Wolf would belong to that person.”

Once these words were spoken, everyone erupted in an uproar. It was unexpected that this level eight young egg couldn’t be valued in gold coins. It was clear that they considered gold coins unworthy. But it was still understandable, some things couldn’t be bought with money. Furthermore, if it was up to them, they would probably also make the same decision.

On the second floor, Ling Xiao also didn’t expect it. Just a level eight demon beast egg and they actually wanted to conduct an exchange of equal value. But after thinking it over, he thought that was also reasonable because level eight demon beast eggs were actually very rare over here

Thinking like this, a gleam appeared in Ling Xiao’s eyes while he looked at You XiaoMo. Since it couldn’t be bought with gold coins, it actually saved him a quite lot of trouble.

“Xiao Shidi, do you want that young egg?”

You XiaoMo was totally engrossed looking at the egg. Hearing Ling Xiao’s voice coming from behind him, he was momentarily stunned, “Blue-Blooded Wolf? But that old man said he wants an exchange of equal value. I don’t have any treasures to trade with him.”

“Who said you don’t?” Ling Xiao’s gaze swept across his face, the corners of his lips curving upwards, “Have you forgotten the spiritual liquid that was just auctioned off? Even though that thing is of no use to you, to mages and practitioners, it is equivalent to a miraculous magic pill. They couldn’t be unmoved.”

You XiaoMo froze for a moment, then his eyes started to shine, “Ling-shixiong, then how many drops of spiritual water should be exchange with him?”

Ling Xiao ponders briefly, “One hundred drops will do.”

You XiaoMo unconsciously used gold coins to estimate, one hundred drops was ten million. If sold by auction it could be twenty million. He started to drool.

Not long after the old man finishes speaking, Ji Le Sect’s Mu YunTian from the second floor’s distinguished guest seats simply stood up from his seat. He looked steadily at the auction platform and said in a deep voice, “I propose a top grade Breakthrough Moon pill and a top grade Purple Cloud pill.”

Following his proposal, everyone raised their heads to look at Mu YunTian. Most of them were rather surprised because Breakthrough Moon pills were a level five magic pill. Using this pill could increase the probability of breaking through the Moon level to become a Star level. On top of that, there were no side effects. So it was the most valuable among level five magic pills.

As for the Purple Cloud pill, it was even more valuable because it was a level six magic pill. This magic pill could be used to to increase one’s power by one to two stars. For example, a one star Star level practitioner. After taking the Purple Cloud pill, there was a possibility of becoming a two or three Star level practitioner. The only drawback was that the higher the level of the practitioner, the lousier the effect.

Now that Mu YunTian had shown his hand, the others didn’t dare to be left behind.

Xiao Yao Sect’s Mu Yao put forth a volume of Fire Control Move. Fire Control Move were a mid-level top grade soul training technique, giving someone the ability to control flames and use it to launch an attack. The higher the flame level, the stronger the attack. And if one could use many types of flames at the same time, one could form a flame formation, a very powerful attack. If not for the level eight young egg, Xiao Yao Sect wouldn’t bring out this soul training manual.

Of course, Xiao Yao Sect intentionally proposed a Fire Control Move as an exchange because they knew that HunJi city’s leader was a powerful fire manipulator. His strength was very high but he lacked a good soul training technique.

Following Mu Yao’s proposal, Xue Sha Clan’s representative stood up. He only proposed one magic pill, but if talking about it’s worth, it was much higher than Mu YunTian’s magic pills. The magic pill’s effect was similar to the Breakthrough Moon pill except that the breakthrough was not for Moon level but for Star level. Furthermore, there were no side effects, so after the breakthrough, one could immediately consolidate one’s level. But the probability of breakthrough was lower when compared to Breakthrough Moon pill.

Compared to Mu YunTian’s magic pills and Mu Yao’s Fire Control Move, this magic pill was obviously quite a bit more valuable. Because, after the breakthrough, one would be of Celestial level. Surprisingly Xue Sha Clan was actually willing to part with it.

The expression of Mu YunTian and Mu Yao changed immediately, bringing down their mood.

At this moment, that person on the first floor in the black robe that everyone regarded as the dark horse stood up after Xue Sha Clan. Everyone’s attention fell on him as they tried to guess what kind of unexpected surprise this dark horse would propose.

“Do you accept magic herbs?”

The old man on the auction platform froze momentarily and then shook his head, “I’m sorry. We’re not accepting magic herbs.”

The black-robed person kept quiet. It was unclear if he was actually disappointed or didn’t really care. He just sat back on his chair clearly not intending to compete with them any further.

Following that, other than the three powerful forces, there were also quite a few forces that coveted that level eight demon beast egg. Each and every one proposing what treasures they could produce, in a short span of time, all sorts of techniques, magic pills, and treasures poured forth in an endless stream.

The old man waited for a while and seeing that no one else wanted to add their interest, he was just about to turn around and walk backstage to discuss with others when someone suddenly stood up in the distinguished seats on the second floor. A noble air radiated from the man’s body, leaving a very deep impression on everyone, because that person was Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao was pestered by You XiaoMo to stand up.

Ling Xiao smiled elegantly saying, “Would a hundred drops of spiritual liquid be enough to win this thing?”

His words were tantamount to tossing a pebble into a calm lake. Immediately causing an uproar in the auction house, wave upon wave. Many people connected the dots to the eighty eight drops of spiritual liquid that had just been auctioned off. This person actually brought out one hundred drops of spiritual liquid all at once. Could it be that the previous spiritual liquid also came from him?

Although no one answered them, seeing how straightforward the man was, the answer was as clear as day.

Mu Yao on the opposite side was stunned for a moment and then bright rays started to shoot out from her eyes. Her gaze on Ling Xiao got hotter and hotter. This was really like what they called an unexpected solution.

Hearing him say one hundred drops of spiritual liquid, the old man’s body stiffened. Then unmistakable wild joy showed in his eyes. In reality, their city leader’s interest towards spiritual liquid was not less than that for a level eight demon beast egg. It was a pity that it was an item for auction. No matter how much interest Seven Stars Auction House had, they still wouldn’t destroy their business just for the sake of it, so they could only let it go.

Beyond his wildest imagination, the owner of the spiritual liquid actually had more of it. On top of that, he opened with one hundred drops. Based on its value, the old man didn’t even have to think before making his decision.

“If no one else is going to bid, then old me will declare the winner of this level eight demon beast egg.”

The old man’s gaze swept over everyone present, and seemed to keep everyone in suspense. A moment later, he beamed while saying, “This auction item, the final winner for the level eight demon beast egg is …the sir sitting on the number ten distinguished guest seat.”

With these words, the atmosphere in the auction house stagnated. Everyone turned to look at Ling Xiao on the second floor. Naturally, everyone overlooked You XiaoMo who was leaning on the railing.

Ling Xiao calmly raised the corner of his lips and sat back down on his seat.

Seven Stars Auction House’s once every three year auction finally ended in an unexpected way. The three powerful forces were beat down by two dark horses, unable to get even one of the last two treasures. This result was really unexpected and something that even the three powerful forces didn’t expect.

After the old man announced the final winner of the demon beast egg, a tense atmosphere arose in the noisy auction house. Quite a few forces looked at the black-robed man and Ling Xiao with cold piercing stares. Although the things were won by them, there were still some people that were unwilling to let go. Their eyes seemed to reflect their evil plans.

Ling Xiao appeared as if oblivious, a vague smile hanging on his lips.

The clueless You XiaoMo didn’t detect the change in the atmosphere in the auction house. He was now still deeply immersed in the joy of having won that demon beast egg. He tugged Ling Xiao’s clothes, “Ling-shixiong, when are we going to get the things?”

Ling Xiao stuck out his chin, motioning for him to look over to the old auctioneer.

You XiaoMo turned around and looked over. That old man already had someone take down the demon beast egg. With a beaming smile on his face, he again faced the crowd, beaming while speaking, “Ladies and gentlemen, our city’s once every three year auction has now concluded. Thank you everyone for taking part in this auction. Next, the esteemed guests that have winning bids can come backstage at your convenience to collect your items.”

After those words, the old man simply left the auction platform. Everyone in the hard seats on the first floor and the distinguished guest seats on the second floor all stood up and left the auction house one after another. That black-robed person had already disappeared unknowingly. But the strong forces in the distinguished guest seats didn’t appear the least bit alarmed. They must have dispatched people long before to follow him.

Ling Xiao stood up and said to You XiaoMo, “Xiao Shidi, let’s go.”

You XiaoMo immediately stood up and followed with jolting buttocks. He still didn’t know that when they left HunJi city, there would be a big group of people waiting to snatch his demon beast egg, not knowing that in his eyes, a demon beast egg was more important than those gold coins.

Unlike others, Ling Xiao and You XiaoMo went pick up their items immediately.

That old man was already waiting for them. Seeing them come over, he immediately greeted them enthusiastically. After a few pleasantries, he sent people to bring out all the items they won. The Jin Ming Cauldron, the jade box containing the level eight demon beast egg, and also the nineteen million gold coins minus five percent commission, resulting in eighteen million and fifty thousand. The old man put them all in a magic bag and handed it over to You XiaoMo.

After collecting the things, Ling Xiao brought You XiaoMo back to Seven Stars Tower.

The moment they arrived back, some people were immediately notified.
