Chapter 276: Chapter 274: Auction (Monthly tickets!!!)
Shen Luo’s face was calm as he bowed respectfully towards every ghost around him.
Li Shuang did not glance sideways, ignoring Bai Yan from beginning to end, and did not look at Shen Luo and the others. However, maybe out of respect for Bai Yan, or because of the premium token, the other ghosts nodded at Shen Luo.
This scene sowhat irked Black Pattern, who snorted coldly but held back from saying anything further.
“Bai Daoist friend, we’ve been here for quite so ti. When will the trading conference begin?” shouted the ghost with a boar-like face.
“Indeed, when will it start? Give us a clear answer!” As soon as the words were out, the other ghosts joined in agreent.
“Everyone, please remain calm. Due to so matters, Yu Guan the Great is running a bit late. The trading conference will begin very soon.” Bai Yan apologised, giving a bow to everyone present.
“Yu Guan!” A thought flashed through Shen Luo’s mind. Wasn’t that the na of the child who gave him the token?
Just as Bai Yan finished speaking, a wooden door in the hall was flung open, and two figures, cloaked in black robes and wearing masks, erged from within. One was tall and the other was short.
The tall figure was no shorter than Li Shuang, thin like a bamboo pole; the short one was only three feet high, akin to a child.
The two masked figures did not approach the hall, instead, they stood on either side of the wooden door.
“We welco the arrival of the Great Yu Guan,” they bowed respectfully and declared in unison.
“We welco the Great Yu Guan,” echoed everyone in the hall as they stood up to bow, including even Li Shuang, their faces solemn.
Shen Luo and Xie Yuxin were a beat slow to react but quickly stood up and bowed like everyone else.
As the words fell, they heard the sound of footsteps accompanied by a smacking noise from outside the door.
Shen Luo was curious and slightly lifted his eyelids to look ahead. He was surprised at what he saw.
He saw a child in a grey robe co in, licking a sugar-coated haw stick, a typical street snack. It was none other than the child nad “Yu Guan” who had given him the guest token.
“Ah, sorry I got held up by sothing important on the way. Everyone, please sit down,” Yu Guan slumped into the chair in the middle behind the wooden table, speaking in a toddler’s voice.
Everyone in the hall took their seats upon hearing his words.
After Shen Luo sat down, Xie Yuxin seed quite astonished seeing Yu Guan. Her action of sitting down was slightly slow, attracting so attention.
“As expected, you indeed ca! It seems my Wheel of Observation technique is slightly accomplished. I didn’t guess wrong!” Yu Guan noticed Xie Yuxin, then saw Shen Luo next to her. He gently patted his chubby hand on his chest, looking very pleased.
“Thanks to the token kindly bestowed by the great Yu Guan, we were able to enter here.” Shen Luo quickly stood and thanked him, not fully understanding what Yu Guan’s Wheel of Observation technique was about.
“It’s a minor matter, not worthy of ntion. By the way, have you visited the Naless Wild Shop?” Yu Guan waved his hand and changed the subject.
“Yes, we did have so gains. Thanks again for the suggestion.” Shen Luo thanked him again.
He did not make this up: the discovery of the Netherworld Bamboo was indeed a ga-changer that significantly increased his wealth!
“Good! Since you have done as I suggested, you should make a lot of gains at this trading conference.” Yu Guan nodded in approval and added after so thought.
“I am grateful for the kind words of Yu Guan the Great,” replied Shen Luo as he sat back down.
However, at this mont, all the ghosts in attendance were once again sizing up Shen Luo and his party, especially the looks thrown towards Shen Luo were full of curiosity, speculating about his identity and relationship with Yu Guan. Even Li Shuang glanced toward Shen Luo.
Heiwen snorted coldly, his face showing distinct disdain.
“Lord Yu Guan, it’s getting late. Shall we start the trading conference?” Bai Yan stepped forward and asked Yu Guan.
“Let’s begin.” Yu Guan waved her petite hand.
“Everyone, before the start of the trading conference, let explain. The process this ti is the sa as before. The first part is the auction held by our establishnt, where many Daoist friends compete by bidding with immortal jade, or could also mortgage items. The specific estimation of value will be decided by us two, and Lord Yu Guan and the highest bidder wins.” The two masked n walked onto the stage. After saluting the ghosts present, the taller masked man started to explain the rules.
“As for the latter part, it is ti for the Daoist friends present to interact freely. We will not interfere, but if you need us to evaluate any items, it costs five immortal jades for each ti.” The shorter black-robed masked man added.
The ghosts present seed to understand these rules already and were nodding their heads, expressing no objections.
“Now that everyone understands the rules, the trading conference will officially comnce. The first item up for bidding, the top-grade magical instrunt, the Frenzied Fla Blade. It contains nine prohibitions. This blade is refined mainly from sun tungsten, which is not only extrely sharp but can emit flas capable of lting gold and iron… The starting bid is ninety immortal jade, and each price increase cannot be lower than three immortal jade.” The short masked man announced the start of the bidding and simultaneously made a sweeping gesture with his hand, and a fiery red battle blade appeared on the table.
“Ninety immortal jades!”
“Ninety-three!”
“I bid one hundred immortal jade!”
As soon as his voice fell, soon people started bidding, and after a round of competition, it was bought by the Ghost Peninsula for a price of one hundred and sixty immortal jade.
As this was Shen Luo’s first ti attending such an auction, he found it intriguing and silently shook his head after watching the first round of bidding.
Although this Frenzied Fla Blade was indeed a top-grade magical instrunt and of great power, it was equally not cheap. He didn’t have a lot of immortal jade, and his main purpose wasn’t here, so naturally, he wouldn’t add to the hype.
After the short masked man and Ghost Peninsula made a brief exchange, he again took out an item for auction. It was a stack of greyish-white flags, with so fla runes on them, and several grayish-white jade discs, which were a set of array tools.
“The next item up for auction is a set of Yinhuo Chain Array tools, created by the well-regarded City of Ghosts array master, Mo Yuzi. The quality is top-notch. This array can cover a range of up to thirty feet and can launch up to eighteen Yin Fire attacks on anyone trapped within it… The starting bid is sixty immortal jade, and each price increase cannot be lower than two immortal jade.” The short masked man introduced.
Upon hearing this, the interest of the ghosts present was imdiately piqued, with so even showing clear signs of attraction in their eyes.
Array Techniques is an important branch in the Cultivation World, no less inferior to branches like talismans, elixirs, with each having their own rits.
Like talismans, array techniques also draw power from Heaven and Earth through formation patterns to generate God’s power. Even if the array is set up correctly, it can generate up to ten tis its power.
However, the setup of an array is difficult. Even a master proficient in array techniques needs to spend a lot of ti to complete it, and must know how to adapt to the environnt and flexibly borrow strength. The entire process is extrely complicated.
But having formation flags and discs, you just need to bury them underground according to the rules and positions, which is rather convenient.
Shen Luo looked at the array tools on the auction table, showing so interest.
Because of his experiences in Dreamland, he was no longer unfamiliar with setting up array formations. He even personally set up a small array in Longevity Village and had so understanding of this field.
This Yinhuo Chain Array was truly excellent in both offense and defense. Judging from the runes on the formation flags and discs, its power was even stronger than the Six Harmonies Fire Array that Yu Yan and the others displayed in Donglai County Town. It was truly valuable.
Unfortunately, he didn’t have a lot of immortal jade, and he needed to save so for other purposes, so he couldn’t bid recklessly.
