Great Tyrannical Deity - Chapter 36
Many items later, the elder urged a woman to bring out a book up on stage. “This is our last item for the auction. It comes from an old clan that has existed for millenia. It is a cultivation technique called the [Ethereal Yin Grand World], its grade at the Peak Chaos grade. The technique is more suitable to the females or bodies who have the yin attribute. Starting bid is at 3 low-grade qi crystals. Any increment should not be lower than 1 low-grade qi crystal.”
“Heh…low-grade qi crystals? I don’t have that.”
“I think no one’s bidding for this.”
“Only the rich who have qi crystals on their body is able to buy this!”
…
Within a private room.
Cai Luiyin’s eyes lit up but suddenly glared with anger. “How dare they!”
Shi Li was confused. He looked at Cai Luiyin and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Cai Luiyin gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. She looked at the stage and replied, “That technique right there…came from my clan.”
“Eh?” Shi Li did not know that. “Then how did it end up here in the auction? Don’t tell me….”
“Yes. It was the Hui clan’s doing. Anyways, please bid for me here. It’s considered a clan heirloom to me,” she pleaded towards Shi Li.
Shi Li nodded.
“I bid 3 low-grade qi crystals!”
…
Within another private room.
“So have you found out who the person in that room was?” the young man looked at the old man, expecting a good answer.
The old man bowed. “Young master, there were 2 people in the room. The first one is a girl named Cai Luiyin and the second one is a boy named Shi Li.”
Hearing the name Shi Li, the young man’s eyes glowed with anger. He squeezed the armrest of his chair but couldn’t break it due to his low cultivation realm. ‘Why do you even cross my path trash? Are you really wanting to go against me, Tian Jiaoren?’
Tian Jiaoren commanded to the old man, “Go and spy on those two. Once they come out, make sure they die.”
The old man sighed. “As you wish, young master.” The old man left the room, now waiting for those two to come out.
The young man looked in front of the stage, eyeing the cultivation technique. “I have a yin attribute body, how about I bid for this?”
He then heard a familiar voice coming from a room. “I bid 3 low-grade qi crystals!”
The young man laughed. “I’m gonna make sure you don’t have any qi crystals left! I bid 8 low-grade qi crystals!”
…
Silence filled the hall. ‘Somebody actually dared to bid on the cultivation technique?’ they all asked themselves.
Not long after, a voice shouted. “I bid 8 low-grade qi crystals!”
The people in the hall sighed. “Truly, a rich person’s resources are terrifying.”
Shi Li frowned. Even though he had many more qi crystals in his space bag, he didn’t want to use it all up since he and Cai Luiyin still had to cultivate. The maximum he would go is around 100 crystals.
‘Let’s see how much crystals you have.’ He thought. “I bid 15 low-grade qi crystals!”
…
Tian Jiaoren was facing a dilemma. He currently had 40 low-grade qi crystals on him. If he used all of it on the auction, that would be a waste for him. ‘I’ll just limit myself to 30 low-grade qi crystals. I don’t think that trash has more qi crystals than me.’
“I bid 20 low-grade qi crystals!”
…
“I bid 20 low-grade qi crystals!”
“I bid 25 low-grade qi crystals!”
“I bid 30 low-grade qi crystals!”
“I bid 40 low-grade qi crystals!”
The people were shocked. 40 low-grade qi crystals would be equal to 400 thousand diamond coins! If 5 diamond coins were enough to feed a family of 3 for a month, then 400 thousand would feed them for decades!
“My horizons have been widened. These rich people have so much qi crystals in hand that they are now my goal. I will become one of them someday!” a person couldn’t help but blurt out.
“Truly, a person’s wealth can only go up so much. They are also my goal for life.” another person said loudly.
…
The elder was excited. ‘Man. These rich people are giving me a lot of coins today!’ He then coughed. “Anyone bidding higher than 40 qi crystals? Bid going once…bid going twice….sold to the person at Room no. 3!”
“That is all for the auction today. I hope you could attend our 723rd auction in a few months.”
…
Shi Li gave 40 low-grade qi crystals to the attendant and grabbed the item he just bidded on. He looked at Cai Luiyin and lightly chuckled. “Good thing I got this for 40 qi crystals because if it went higher, I probably wouldn’t have much more crystals for us to cultivate. Here you go.” He gave the technique to Cai Luiyin.
Cai Luiyin received the technique and embraced it tightly. ‘Clan members…clan elders…mother…father…I will use our cultivation technique to avenge the clan!’
Shi Li urged Cai Luiyin that they leave now to cultivate. Cai Luiyin nodded and they left the room.
…
The old man hurriedly entered the private room. “Young master, the two have finally left the room.”
Tian Jiaoren was excited. “Go ahead and let the guards surround them. I’ll be on my way.”
The old man bowed and left.
“Heheh. Shi Li, will you still remember me?”
