Luoshen Auction House is one of the oldest auction houses, and it can be said that it is a government-owned property, as it belongs to the Luoshui City Lord's Manor. The Yunshu Pavilion only rents the auction house to hold the Cloud Gathering.
Inside the auction house is a unique sky, the first floor is a large circular hall that can accommodate thousands of people at the same time, the second floor is a room with elegant rooms, and the auction table is in the center of the first-floor hall, which is a circular auction table.
Su Dao Xing held the wooden sign and, after the people at Yun Shu Zhai verified his identity, he walked into the auction house. He sat down in a chair on one side of the first floor auction hall.
Everyone is waiting outside the auction house.
Su Dao Xing searched for Yue Feng Chen's figure in the auction hall, but couldn't find him. He guessed that Yue Feng Chen was probably with the man and woman in the luxurious room on the second floor.
The luxurious room on the second floor was reserved for big shots. Su Daoming didn't even have the qualifications to ride a horse into the city, let alone sit in the luxurious room.
"The young master in imperial attire who just entered the private room is Tang Qian, he's a prince and also one of the students that Shengyuan has specifically named." A man in brocade clothing in the front row was chatting with a man in purple clothing beside him.
"Is the woman with a slender figure and a white veil on her face, who was together with Tang Qian Huangzi, also a Saintess of the Moon Clan, Yuetianwu, who was recruited by the Holy Institute at the same time?" The man in purple clothes asked the man in brocade clothes.
The man in brocade attire replied, "That's right. This woman is indeed the heavenly proud daughter, Moon Sky Dance, the sacred daughter of the Moon Clan, a figure with extremely high prestige throughout the continent. The Sacred Institute accepted Tang Qian's imperial son partly because of his identity as an imperial son, whereas Moon Sky Dance was able to enter the Sacred Institute solely based on her own abilities. Su Daolin, Moon Wind Minister, Quan Heng, these genius figures, only received invitations for the Sacred Institute's entrance examination."
Upon hearing this, Su Dao's mind was shocked. It turned out that the man and woman who accompanied Yuetian Chen were actually the most outstanding figures of the Eastern Earth Imperial Court - one being Tang Qian, listed in the Book of Famous People, and the other being Yuetian Wu, also listed in the Book of Famous People.
The new period of the celebrity book has Tang Qian, Yue Tianwu, Quan Heng, Su Daolin, Yue Fengchen, and Tang Guoqiang. These six people are known as the "Six Lords", with their reputation soaring to a height of 90,000 miles.
Su Dao Xing and Liu Jun brushed past each other, which was a pity. He didn't feel sad or melancholic, but instead looked forward to the auction stage.
"Mr. Yun has taken the stage, and surprisingly, the auctioneer for this cloud conference is actually Mr. Yun himself." Someone introduced the identity of the person who took the stage.
Mr. Yun is one of the three major auctioneers of Yun Shu Zhai, although not the chief auctioneer, his prestige in the auction industry is unmatched.
Mr. Yun is also a shopkeeper of a pawnshop, and the pawnshop he operates has a very good reputation in the industry.
Mr. Yun Lao is still the royal family's appraiser, and all the young masters of the royal family will invite him to appraise their treasures.
It was Mr. Yun Lao's prestige that when he stepped onto the stage, everyone in the auction hall stood up and bowed to him.
Mr. Yun looked around and said, "Welcome, friends from all over the world, to participate in the Cloud Book Club's Cloud Conference. I am the auctioneer, Master Cloud, for this conference. This auction is divided into two parts: first, we will auction off the items listed on the Cloud Catalogue, followed by items not listed on the Cloud Catalogue."
The crowd under the stage were clearly not attending a Cloud Conference for the first time, they were very familiar with the rules and quietly listened.
Mr. Yun waved his hand and two disciples brought over the first item for auction.
"The first item up for auction is the Deadly 72 Flying Rings." Mr. Yun stretched out his hand and released a ball of true energy onto the rings, instantly causing the 72 flying rings to resonate with each other, emitting a humming noise.
"The life-taking 72 flying rings have a detailed introduction in the name list, so I won't introduce them much. Just to add that the 72 flying rings are made of rare earth mother gold, and the material alone is worth a lot." Mr. Yun said loudly: "The starting price for the life-taking 72 flying rings is 3,000 taels of white silver, and each bid increase must not be less than 500 taels of white silver. The auction begins."
"Three thousand five hundred taels!"
"Four thousand taels!"
"Five thousand taels!"
“......”
"Eight thousand taels!"
"Eight thousand taels, first time. Eight thousand taels, second time. Eight thousand taels, third time. The life-taking seventy-two flying rings belong to this gentleman, and can be delivered backstage at any time." Mr. Yun was an old hand, and the first item up for auction had already warmed up the scene.
One after another, the items on the auction list were sold off.
"The seventeenth auction item is the Cyan Wasp Stinger. As introduced in the catalog, I'll just add that a strong cultivator at the Refining Realm has verified that the Cyan Wasp Stingers are produced in an extremely cold region. A strong cultivator at the Refining Realm can control the Cyan Wasp Stingers with their spiritual energy to unleash its most terrifying power." Mr. Yun pointed to a cyan-colored box, opened it, and revealed twelve Cyan Wasp Stingers inside that looked like cow hair. "The starting price for the Cyan Wasp Stinger is 5,000 taels of silver, each bid increase must not be less than 500 taels, let the auction begin!"
"Five thousand five hundred taels!"
"Six thousand five hundred taels!"
It's clear that people aren't very interested in the Green Hornet Stinger, because it can only be used to its fullest potential by a strong cultivator at the Refining Realm level. Most of the bidders are Martial Kings, who can't bring out the stinger's full power, so why spend such a high price to buy it?
"Eight thousand taels!" Su Daoxing took a deep breath and pushed the price of Qingfeng Stinger to eight thousand taels.
"Eight thousand taels, first time. Eight thousand taels, second time. Eight thousand taels, third time. Sold! The Green Hornet Sting belongs to this gentleman, and the transaction can be carried out below the stage." Mr. Yun banged his gavel.
Su Dao Xing immediately went backstage, handed over the silver ticket to the staff of Yun Shu Zhai, took over the cyan wooden box, and returned to his seat.
The auction will continue.
Su Dao Xing no longer paid attention to the auction items, but instead opened the wooden box. His hand touched the Qingfeng needle and he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. Immediately, his palm was filled with spiritual energy, and he pinched one of the Qingfeng needles.
Whoosh!
A blue wasp stung Su Dao Xing's arm and trembled, and it actually merged directly into his flesh and blood.
"This green hornet stinger is quite interesting." Su Dao Xing took out a few green hornet stingers, and found that each one could merge into his own flesh. Overjoyed, he merged one stinger into each of his two arms, and put the remaining ten stingers into a specially designed pouch at his waist.
The auction reached a climax, with all items on the list sold, and then began to sell rare items not recorded in the catalog.
Mr. Yun Lao held a staff with two circular rings at both ends, and he shot out a ball of true energy into one ring, immediately a whirlwind appeared around the staff, then he stretched out his hand and shot out another ball of true energy into the other ring, and flames rose around the staff.
"This is the Wind and Fire Stick, passed down from a high-ranking monk at the Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas. The starting price is 10,000 taels of silver, with each bid increase not less than 1,000 taels. Let the auction begin." Mr. Yun demonstrated the use of the Wind and Fire Stick to everyone, and the bidding began.
The bidding voices rose and fell under the stage, and soon this wind-and-fire club was auctioned off by a young man in the elegant room on the second floor for 30,000 taels of white silver.
"This pair of curved knives is the Moon Clan's Crescent Moon Twin Blades, sharp and unmatched, cutting gold like mud. It can be controlled with true energy, and it is said to have a history of 500 years. Apart from its function as a twin blade, the collection value of this knife alone is not low." Mr. Yun looked towards a elegant room on the second floor, he knew that the Crescent Moon Twin Blades came from the Moon Clan, and guessed that the Moon Clan's Holy Maiden, Yue Tianwu, was interested in bidding for it.
Everyone guessed that Yu Tianwu would definitely get the pair of crescent moon knives, and they didn't need to offend a student with great potential from the Holy Institute by bidding for the knife.
"The starting price is eight thousand taels of silver, and each bid increase must be at least one thousand taels. The auction begins." Mr. Yun announced.
The elegant room on the second floor, Yuetai, made a move, and a clear voice came out: "9,000 taels!"
It seemed as if everyone had reached an unspoken agreement, and no one bid.
Su Dao Xing eyed the pair of crescent moon double blades, thinking of the records in the book "Ghost Saint", these two knives were the inheritance of the Heavenly Clan, and shouted: "Ten thousand two!"
Someone actually bid, and everyone looked at Su Dao Xing, wanting to see what kind of person dared to offend a student from the Holy Institute.
Yue Tian Wu unexpectedly did not bid again.
Mr. Yun announced directly that Su Dao Xing's auction was successful.
Su Dao Xing immediately went backstage, handed over the silver ticket, and put the Yue Ya double knives in his hand to play with.
"The heirloom of the Tian clan has actually fallen into my hands." Su Dao woke up and returned to his seat, no longer paying attention to the auction.
Mr. Yun pushed the auction to another climax and finally sold the last four items at the bottom of the box.
Tang Qian, the crown prince, bid on one of the four finale auction items, a sacred page written by a saint from the Holy Institute. His goal was to return the sacred page to the institute and gain a good reputation.
Yuè Tiān Wǔ obtained a final auction item, the Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus. Legend has it that consuming the Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus can break through two boundaries, which she used to break through her boundary.
A young prince named Wang had bid on and won a final auction item, a blood jade qilin.
Qilin beast is a high-end mount, having a Qilin beast as a mount is a symbol of noble status, and the Blood Jade Qilin beast is even more noble bloodline among Qilins. The young master competed in the auction just to show off this Blood Jade Qilin beast as his mount.
The last of the four finale auction items was a stone book, which recorded a kung fu technique that no one had deciphered to this day. It was finally won by an old man who even Tang Qian showed respect to with a bow.
The cloud will end smoothly.
Su Dao Xing reaped a rich harvest, successfully bidding for the coveted Qing Feng Ci and acquiring the Tian Zu's heirloom at a very low price, thinking that this trip was truly worthwhile.
As the crowd left the auction house, a group of black-clad figures emerged around the perimeter, holding bows and drawing arrows aimed at the crowd.
The auction house's gate was closed, and a formation master had actually set up an isolation formation around the entire auction house, isolating it from the outside world.
"No good! Someone is going to make an assassination attempt! The target may be Prince Tang Qian and Holy Maiden Yue Tianwu!"
Some of the martial arts masters rushed towards the entrance of the auction house.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
A few sharp arrows pierced through the bodies of three Wu Wang who were rushing towards the door.
"Those arrows are the imperial court's forbidden Xuan steel arrows, one arrow can pierce through the defense of a Wu Wang in the Small Sect Master realm, I'm afraid only a Sect Master-level figure can resist the Xuan steel arrows."
