Chapter Twenty-Two: Sudden Wealth

  Second-order magic treasures are indeed rare in Xihuo City, and someone like Dongfang Yan with a powerful father owns a Soul-Stealing Sword, a second-order magic treasure.

  "The starting price for this Cold Moon Knife is 200 Small Mystic Pills. If any of you are interested, please start bidding." The fat man said with a smile, bowing to the crowd around him.

  "Two hundred small Xuan Dan, wow!"

  Yexuan's mouth twitched involuntarily when he heard the price, grandma, a second-grade magic treasure costs 200 small Xuan Dan, those who can afford to use magic treasures must have this capital. Yexuan couldn't help but glance at the empty-handed master beside Dongfangyan, wondering what level he was, and casually forging a treasure that could feed himself for a while.

  Ye Xuan thought to himself that many people in the auction hall were already competing for this "Hàn Yuè Dāo" (Cold Moon Sword), which showed just how popular this treasure was.

  Ye Xuan shook his head, fortunately his mysterious skill didn't match the knife's, otherwise he would have been anxious to buy it. In just a moment, the price of the Cold Moon Knife had soared to 300 small Xuan Dan. It seemed that selling treasures through auctions was indeed a good way, as the final price often exceeded the treasure's original value. This was called psychology on Earth, Ye Xuan thought idly.

  "Three hundred and twenty!" shouted a man who looked like a monkey on the other side.

  "Three hundred and fifty with me!" a big man with a pockmarked face shouted from not far away from Laiyue Xuan.

  The monkey was immediately discouraged and couldn't come up with that much on his own either.

  "Alright, 350 small Xuan Dan pills. Is there anyone else who wants to bid? If not, this Cold Moon Sword that can cut through iron like mud will belong to this gentleman." The middle-aged fat man in the black brocade robe said with a smile.

  At this time, no one in the audience bid again. After all, 350 small Xuan Dan was a large sum for some people.

  In the end, the Cold Moon Sword was auctioned off to a burly man with a pockmarked face for 350 small Xuan Dan. The middle-aged fat man smiled and congratulated the big man on obtaining a treasure, then immediately began the auction of the next item.

  The second item up for auction was a set of mid-grade Xuan techniques, which weren't particularly impressive. The price was set at 100 small Xuan pellets, and this time there were noticeably fewer bidders. In the end, it sold for only 150 Yang Yuan stones.

  The third auction item was a Dan medicine, Huangsha Dan, a kind of Dan medicine that accelerates the breakthrough of the Ninefold Mysterious Energy to the Star Mysterious Mirror. This simple introduction also reflected its preciousness. It's worth knowing that accelerating cultivation with this kind of Dan medicine is hard to come by. Even Liu Yizhu, who was sitting next to Ye Xuan, widened her eyes, although she only had six layers of Mysterious Energy.

  "Huang Sha Dan, the auction starting price is also one hundred small Xuan Dan!" said the middle-aged fat man.

  "One hundred and ten small Xuan Dan!"

  "Two hundred!" A sudden and sharp increase in price attracted everyone's attention, this bid clearly showed that he was determined to get it.

  Ye Xuan followed the shouting and saw an old man wearing a white embroidered Taoist robe, ah, it was him, the steward of the Situ family, Gong Sun Jiana. Had Situ Ran already reached the Ninefold Mystical Energy? Damn, Ye Xuan couldn't help but curse, this dog day was really lucky.

  Gongsun Jia's price hike shattered everyone's intention to buy, and in the end, the two hundred small Xuan Dan were taken away by Huang Sha Dan.

  The atmosphere of the four-way auction house was always good, after all, the popularity was there, and after more than a dozen rounds of auctions, it finally came to the turn of the third-level magic crystal. As soon as the magic crystal was put on the auction table, the dark red light immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the venue.

  "The treasure to be auctioned below, I suppose the alchemists and artifact makers will be very interested. This is a fire-attribute third-grade magic crystal. Just look at its color, everyone should already know what it is. I don't need to say more. The starting price is 500 small Xuan Dan."

  At this time, Kong Daoshi, who was sitting next to Dongfang Yan with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and saw the magic crystal on the auction stage. His eyes lit up instantly.

  "Six hundred small Xuan Dan!" An old man wearing a cyan monk robe shouted slowly.

  "Seven hundred!" a big man wearing a bamboo hat shouted.

  "Eight hundred!" The old man in green clothes shouted again.

  The scene below suddenly became lively, and this small magic crystal unexpectedly soared to 800 small Xuan Dan in an instant, and it was a hundred small Xuan Dan at once. The middle-aged fat man liked the scene very much and said: "This green-robed old gentleman has bid 800 small Xuan Dan. Is anyone going to raise the price?"

  "A thousand small Xuan Dan!"

  Ye Xuan heard the two words "one thousand" and suddenly became excited, following the shouting voice to look over. What surprised Ye Xuan was that the one who had increased the price was actually the empty-handed master from earlier, but the auction had not ended yet.

  "One thousand one hundred!" The old man in green clothes shouted again.

  "One thousand five hundred!" shouted Kong Daoshi with a smile.

  "I'll give two thousand!" The old man in green robes looked at Kong Daoshi with a gloomy face and gritted his teeth.

  Only to see Master Kong shaking his head at the middle-aged fat man, indicating that he would not increase the price anymore. The middle-aged fat man refused to give up and said: "Is there no more price increase? Now it's 2,000 small Xuan Dan!"

  However, no one is bidding anymore. Two thousand small Xuan Dan, that's a huge amount, I'm afraid not many people here have such wealth. In the end, this third-grade magic crystal was auctioned off for two thousand small Xuan Dan.

  The old man in the green robe had managed to obtain a third-grade magic crystal, but he was extremely uncomfortable. He glanced at Kong Da and his eyes revealed a hint of murderous intent. Originally, he had been determined to get the magic crystal for 1,000 small Xuan Dan, but now he had spent an extra 1,000, how could he possibly be calm?

  Dongfang Yan noticed the gaze of the old man in green, and whispered to Kong Da Shi: "Kong Da Shi, that old man in green looked at you with an unfavorable gaze."

  "Hehe, no matter, it's just an alchemist after all." Kong Daoshi smiled and said.

  Dongfang Yan nodded and asked: "Does Kong Dashi need that third-level magic crystal?"

  The empty master stroked his beard and smiled: "To me, it's neither here nor there, not very important."

  Dongfang Yan nodded and said, "That third-grade magic crystal is indeed Ye Xuan's. This time he made a huge profit, Master actually helped him out, this little brat is really lucky."

  "Oh?" Kong Daoshi recalled the strange young man from earlier and fell into deep thought.

  Later, the auction house brought out several more treasures to be auctioned off, but Ye Xuan didn't have any interest in listening anymore. He was only waiting for the auction to end so he could get his hands on the Xiao Xuan Dan. Just thinking about it made him excited beyond measure. Even Liu Yi Zhu beside him had a joyful expression on her face. The two people's current mood was just like that of a nouveau riche who had suddenly become wealthy.
