Chapter 18: Chapter 11

"It's not fair! There was no such rule before."

 

"Yeah, Prosperity Auction House can't change the rules like this. We've come from far away and have waited so long."

 

"Prosperity Auction House is bullying us!"

 

Yu Xinyue looked at the protesting cultivators and shook her head. There's no rule saying that Prosperity Auctions House can't change the way they operate, what's not fair? Anyone can participate in the auction as long as you have an invitation and pay the entry fee. For those who were not invited, they could only blame their own incompetence.

 

And just as she thought, the manager said coldly while releasing his pressure as a golden core cultivator. “If Fellow Daoists don't like the way we operate, Fellow Daoists can leave at any time. Please come in if you have an invitation."

 

With the manager releasing his aura, those cultivators with low cultivation were coughing blood because of the pressure. While those cultivators with higher cultivation enduring the pressure silently while gritting their teeth. Yu Xinyue looked at those cultivators with confused looks. 

 

‘What are they suffering and why doesn't she feel anything? What is going on?’

 

After speaking, the manager glanced at her, turned and walked into the building of the auction house. The cultivators showed the invitation letter, paid the entrance fee, and walked into the building one after another. And those who stayed outside were mostly wandering cultivators, or disciples of small sects and small families. They were reluctant to leave and were still waiting outside the Prosperity Auction House.

 

Yu Xinyue looked at the invitation card in her hand and walked to the door. Presenting her invitation card, she was ushered in without paying an entry fee.

 

Inside, the manager of the Prosperity Auction House was already waiting for her with a big smile on his face. "Welcome, Fellow Daoist. We are already waiting for your arrival. Please come with me." The manager said with cupped fists.

 

"Thank you, manager." She clasped her fists and said.

 

The manager led her to the third floor and opened the door of the private room. "Fellow Daoist, please enjoy the tea and refreshments. We will start the auction in a while." The manager gestured for her to enter.

 

"Thank you, manager. You can continue with your business." She said with a smile.

 

The manager nodded, left and closed the door. She went to the table and sat down. The table was near the window, and she could see the stage clearly. She poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip, and waited for the auction to start.

 

"Senior brother, do you think we can get the pill?"

 

Yu Xinyue vaguely heard a soft voice from the room next to her asking. Shaking her head, she thought, in ancient times, the sound insulation was terrible. Although this is a private room, there is no privacy at all.

 

"As long as we reveal our identity, we will get the pill, at least one. Don't worry, Junior Sister, we will give you that pill." She heard another voice speak confidently.

 

Yu Xinyue nodded and agreed. She put ten pills in the small jade bottle, one of which was used for demonstration, and nine pills were auctioned. It was more than enough for those people to share. What's more, her Beauty Rejuvenation Pill was only used for beautification, and it did not help cultivators to improve their cultivation at all. So, not many people will be interested in her pills.

 

After drinking the first cup of tea, she saw the manager of the Prosperity Auction House standing in the center of the stage. The manager looked at the guests and said with cupped fists, "Thank you Fellow Daoists, for taking the time to attend today's auction. Today, I will preside over the auction."

 

The manager spoke normally but she could hear it clearly. His voice resounded throughout the auction house. 

 

‘Is this one of the effects of spiritual qi?’

"Since time is precious, let’s not waste anymore time. The first item auctioned today is..." The manager said while pulling a red cloth over the tray.

 

“A pair of JadeMoon silkworms! The starting price is one low grade spirit stone.” The manager said.

 

Yu Xinyue saw a small crystal box in the middle of the tray. Two silkworms lay there quietly. The JadeMoon silkworms were crystal clear and exuded a soft blue light. 

 

‘Hm? It could be sold? I have a whole farm of it.’

 

Not long after the manager finished speaking, the guests started bidding. The price rose rapidly, and it didn't stop until it reached thirty low grade spirit stones. The manager glanced at the hall, saw that no one bid for a higher price, he said, "Thirty low grade spirit stones, go once!"

 

"Thirty low grade spirit stones, go twice!"

 

"Thirty low grade spirit stones, go thrice! Sold! Fellow Daoist, congratulations." The manager said with a smile.

 

The cultivator who won the bid stood up, nodded at the manager, and then sat back in his seat.

 

The beautiful girl walked out the stage holding the Jade Moon silkworms, and another beautiful girl walked onto the stage with a red cloth plate. This auction house is very smart, and it is absolutely eye-catching to use such a beautiful girl to auction.

 

“The next item for today’s auction is.. Firebird eggs!” The manager said while pulling off the red cloth from the tray.

 

Puff! 

 

"Cough...cough...cough..." Yu Xinyue choked on the tea when she heard the name of the second item.

 

There was a commotion in the audience. The cultivators were all excited when they saw the eggs on the tray. When the manager saw that the guests were stirred up by those eggs, the corners of his mouth curled in satisfaction.

 

“These eggs were genuine. It’s confirmed by the Red Hall Sect’s Peak Master, Elder Zhi Lin. The Firebird eggs will be sold in sets of three eggs. So today's auction will have a total of five sets. The starting price of Firebird eggs is One middle grade spirit stone per set!” The manager said while raising his right hand.

 

Soon after, the cultivators started bidding. Looking at those frenzied cultivators, her eyes widened, she couldn't believe it. 

 

‘Those eggs, aren't those eggs laid by her hen?? So, what the tea house owner told her is true, her hen is a demon beast! Heavens!’

 

Soon the price rose to ten middle grade spirit stones for one set and those five sets of eggs were sold in a short time. She was dumbfounded when she saw the situation in front of her. It turned out that she knew nothing about this world.

 

She watched the auction without joining since the items on auction today did not pique her interest. She started to feel bored until she saw a couple of guys bringing a huge chest to the stage. The chest was made from black jade and sealed by formations. 

 

Thump!
