Great Tyrannical Deity - Chapter 34
A few days later…
“So that’s the plan.” a voice said.
“Alright. Isn’t the auction starting right now?” another voice questioned the other voice.
The two people talking were Cai Luiyin and Shi Li respectively. Throughout the past few days, these two were inside an inn thinking up of a viable plan to wipe out the Hui clan from the earth…or at least injure it to the point they won’t recover quickly.
They walked out of the inn and went to the auction place.
…
“We’re here at the auction hall.” Cai Luiyin said to Shi Li.
A guard went up to them and asked, “Are you two going to enter the auction hall?”
“Yes we are, is there any sort of payment needed to enter?” Shi Li asked back.
A guard shook his head. “You just need to have enough money to enter. In this case, 1000 diamond coins would do.”
Shi Li grabbed something out of his bag, it was a qi crystal. “Would this suffice?”
The guard was shocked. He knew that some of the rich families would have qi crystals within their treasury, but to think that this kid had qi crystals. ‘Does he come from a big clan? Anyways, I shouldn’t offend him.’
The guard looked at the girl beside Shi Li. “Young master, is this your partner?” he asked if ever it was the case.
“No. She’s just my friend. Could we enter now?” Shi Li replied.
“Oh yes, yes. This way to our private rooms.”The guard led the way for the two.
…
The room was extravagant to the point that the walls were covered in lustrous gems and materials. The seats in the center of the room were made of fine leather, assuring the person’s comfortability when they seat. The glass in front of them was one-way glass, allowing them to see others but not allowing others to see them.
Before the guard left, he said, “If you are planning to bid, just press the button beside the seat. I will now take my leave.”
“Wait up!” Shi Li stopped the guard from leaving. He grabbed something out of his bag and threw it towards the guard. The guard catched the item and was surprised.
The thing on his hand was a qi crystal. It would allow him to cultivate continuously for weeks. The guard bowed down many times towards Shi Li. “Thank you young master for your grace.”
Shi Li smiled. “Don’t mention it. Take it as a token of gratitude for leading the way.”
Both Shi Li and Cai Luiyin sat on their seats. They looked towards the stage in front of them.
An elder was coming up to the stage. He coughed and then said, “Welcome everyone to the 722nd Heaven’s Grasp Auction. My name is Elder Huan and I’ll be presiding over this auction.”
“This time, we’re going to auction 54 items off. Please bring up the first item here.”
The elder urged a woman to come to the stage. The woman was holding something that was covered by a red cloth. The woman removed it, showing the item to the onlookers.
“Our first item is a weapon. The weapon name is [Hakar’s Regret] and it is at the Low World grade. It is a one-handed sword that is 1.6 meters long. It’s made of a special material that allows the wielder to wear it on their waist. Starting price is at 500 diamond coins, any increment should not be lower than 50 diamond coins,” the elder said.
“I bid 500 diamond coins!” a voice screamed out.
“I bid 600!” another voice screamed out.
“I bid 700 diamond coins for the weapon!”
“Heh. Only 700 diamond coins? I bid 750!”
“750 is too little. I bid 800!”
…
In the end, the weapon was sold for 950 diamond coins, making the new owner regret buying the weapon for a high price, while at the same ecstatic to finally have the weapon.
The elder continued to bring out items to auction. “The next item we have here is an armor called the [Aqueous Blaze Armor]. Its grade is at the Intermediate World grade. The armor allows the wielder to reflect attacks at 20% strength back at the enemy, allowing the wielder to kill the enemy faster. Starting price is 2000 diamond coins, any increment should not be lower than 100 diamond coins.”
“2500 diamond coins!”
“3000 diamond coins!”
“I bid 3200 diamond coins!”
“Please let me have this one…4000 diamond coins!”
“Too bad. 4100 diamond coins!”
…
Within a private room.
“Shi Li don’t you want this armor?” Cai Luiyin asked Shi Li.
“I have special protective techniques already. Do you want it?” Shi Li replied.
“Well it’s not my taste.” Cai Luiyin said.
“I’ll go take a nap, just tell me if the comprehension leaves are up okay?” By then, Shi Li was already dozing on.
Cai Luiyin looked at Shi Li and sighed. “Is this man really gonna help me avenge my clan?”
…
Many items later, the elder coughed. He was bringing out a special item for sure. He commanded the woman to slowly bring the item up. The cover was removed, showing three normal leaves lying there.
Cai Luiyin was surprised. She never thought it would come so early. She looked at Shi Li and shook him to wake him up. “Hey, wake up! The comprehension leaves are now on auction!”
“Huh? E-eh what? The comprehension leaves?” Shi Li was still groggy after being woken up all of a sudden.
Cai Luiyin point at the stage in front of them. “Look.”
“This is a special item we wouldn’t have auctioned off if we didn’t have extra of it. As you can see, we are selling 3 comprehension leaves, not a set but one by one. Each comprehension leaf starts at 8000 diamond coins, any increment must not be lower than 1000 diamond coins,” the elder said.
“I bid 9000 diamond coins!” a voice shouted.
“10000 diamond coins! I need it!” another voice shouted.
…
Within another private room.
“Young master, wouldn’t you bid on this comprehension leaf? It would help you on your techniques?” an elder asked a young man.
“A comprehension leaf would truly help me in my cultivation. Shout out 15000 diamond coins.” the young man replied.
“Let’s see if someone has the guts to go against me, Tian Jiaoren!”
…
“I bid 15000 diamond coins!” the elder shouted.
The auction hall became silent for a while until another voice shouted out.
“I bid 2 low-grade qi crystals!”
