Auction (8)

Translator: 549690339

What kind of people stand out? There is no standard answer to this question, but there are scommon features.

Those who shine are always able to do things beyond their age, just like a twenty-year-old who has entered the Mortal Realm is considered as an ordinary person; however, a fifteen-year-old Mortal Realm entrant is seen as a prodigy.

Tang Luo has plenty of money, but not enough to casually spend 70 million without batting an eye.

Ever since the martial arts halls of Xiling conspired to boycott him, his chances of tremendously increasing his wealth have been cut off. After joining the Secret Arts Pavilion, he’s turned into a total workaholic. He has even put his sleep aside, leaving no tfor making money.

The giant sums of money he can easily produce, amounting to tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, cmerely from the abundant family contributions he has at his disposal.

In an ambitious family, contribution points are an important standard to measure a clan member’s excellence. You have to contribute something to the family to receive these precious things.

You can use these contribution points to exchange for Martial Art techniques, Spiritual Power medicine, guidance from the strongest fighters, or to assign missions.

No matter the clan, martial arts researchers always have the most contribution points, because of their irreplaceable scarcity.

No one would say there are too many martial arts researchers in a clan. Any clan only has one attitude towards martial arts researchers, an urgent thirst for their expertise.

Otherwise, the Tang Clan would not assign every person who is selected into the Secret Arts Pavilion the position of Elder.

As the youngest Elder in the Tang Clan, Tang Luo not only possesses an extraordinary sensitivity and control over Spiritual Power, but also has a great ability to create martial arts techniques. Most importantly, he is prolific.

Ever since he entered the Mortal Realm, every tcontributions are calculated at the beginning of the month in the Secret Arts Pavilion, the sheer number of his contributions always leaves others in despair.

If these contribution points were converted into money, Tang Luo could probably empty the Tang Clan’s treasury. This is his confidence in wanting to take the Boundary Breaking Stone so easily.

Not to mention Ji Fu is just a foreign prince, even if everyone present pooled their cash together, he isn’t targeting anyone, everyone present is trash in comparison—

“The current bid is now 70.1 million. Is there anyone else who wants to raise the price!?” Xiao Zheng excitedly asked with a bitter look in his eyes.

He dared not even think about the value of the treasure that could make Ji Fu spend 70 million, but he knew that he had no chance of getting it.

Because no one present was qualified to compete with the Tang Clan.

Just as the gavel was about to fall, Ji Fu, with red eyes, stood up and asked Xiao Zheng: “Can I only pay with cash?”

The prestigious young masters and ladies on the first floor gave a few mocking laughs, turned their heads to look at Ji Fu, with a look of contempt.

Xiao Zheng on the auction platform had a difficult expression, of course, he understood Ji Fu’s intention, which was to negotiate using treasures as prices.

But Xiao Family’s auction house has its own rules, which insist on cash. Except for cash, no other form of payment is allowed. Though he really wanted to help Ji Fu get this treasure, changing the rules was not something he could do.

“The rule of only accepting cash has been in place for hundreds of years in the Xiao Family’s Auction House. Unless the bidders in the VIP room agree, it cannot be changed.” Xiao Zheng looked into Ji Fu’s eyes and said with difficulty.

Ji Fu looked at Xiao Zheng’s helpless but firm expression, nodded his head, turned towards Tang Luo and Xu Laoying on the second floor, raised his hand in greeting and said loudly: “Gentlemen, I have just arrived in Xiling and didn’t bring much gold. Could I use Spiritual Power Medicine in place of gold to bid?” “What nonsense are you talking about-” Tang Luo spread his hands and laughed, “If you’re out of money, then I’ll just take this glowing jade pendant. It’s perfect to hang around the neck of my cloud-piercing beast. It’ll shine brightly and look very beautiful. Auctioneer, aren’t you going to announce it?” This young master from Beimang has already greatly exceeded Tang Luo’s budget by bidding seventy million. Now this guy even wants to continue the bidding with spiritual medicine. Does he really think I’m a pushover?

Xiao Zheng looked at Tang Luo who was urging him to finalize the bid, he could only lift the auction hammer with a bitter smile.

“Hold on!” The auction hammer was stopped again.

Ji Fu stared into Tang Luo’s eyes, taunting, “If you’re afraid to bid with full price spiritual medicine, then let’s take a step back. Can I bid with half price spiritual medicine? As the son of the illustrious Xiling clan, you wouldn’t dare reject a challenge from a foreigner like me, would you?”

Before the words of the Beimang young master fell, the whole venue was in an uproar, and there was a wave of anger.

Everyone thought he was too overconfident and ignorant. He clearly did not understand who he was dealing with and dared to compete in wealth. Many hoped that the Pride of Xiling could harshly teach the foreigner a lesson, making him aware of Xiling’s prosperity.

With a few words, Ji Fu turned himself into an enemy of Xiling, which was to make Tang Luo accept this kind of contest with goods. He believed that with Tang LUO’S character, he would impulsively accept his proposal once egged on by everyone.

Though Beimang was full of deep mountains and big marshes and very few gold mines, it was rich in spiritual medicine. Ji Fu had brought a lot of spiritual medicine to trade on this trip. If Tang Luo agreed to bid with spiritual medicine, he was confident he could win the Boundary Breaking Stone!

What nobody expected, though, was that Tang Luo ignored the judging eyes of everyone in the auction house. He just looked at Ji Fu, sneering dismissively, -How could I possibly accept such a stupid proposal? You keep taunting and provoking me. Can’t you be more straightforward?” Seeing his schexposed, the Beimang’s young master’s face turned a grim shade of green as he silently stared at the second floor.

Tang Luo pointed at the few middle-aged people next to Ji Fu, laughing, “What does it matter if you didn’t bring enough money? Aren’t you the Beimang prince with five Fierce Realm guards? Just rob it.”

Fierce Realm? Guards!?

The two keywords caused everyone in the auction to pale with shock. Most of the people at the auction were young masters or ladies from different clans, all not very high in strength. Hearing that there were five Fierce Realm guards in the venue, there was immediate panic.

Hearing their levels being called out by Tang Luo, the five middle-aged men beside Ji Fu released the Fierce Realm pressure they were hiding and slowly got to their feet.

Those who were originally sitting near Ji Fu including the chief ladies and young masters, immediately fled after witnessing the outbreak of the five middle-aged men, causing their corner to becdeserted.

Meanwhile, the strong Xiao Clan members who were stationed at the four corners of the auction were now closing in. The tense atmosphere engulfed the whole venue as the pressure of the Fierce Realm exploded.

Seeing the drastic change in the auction’s atmosphere, Xiao Zheng felt desperate. He quickly said to Ji Fu, “Brother Ji, please calm down, ask them to retract their pressure.”

Then he turned towards Tang Luo on the second floor, “Tang Tianjiao, Beimang is a chaotic place. It’s no joke to travel without strong protection. Brother Ji, who has just arrived in our peaceful Xiling, how can he change the habit he’s had for over twenty years so quickly? I hope you can understand!” Being the eldest son of the Xiao family, Xiao Zheng’s words successfully eased the tension at the auction, at least sof the ladies and young masters were able to hide their defensive and hostile expressions.

When Ji Fu heard Xiao Zheng’s words, even though his expression was still grim, he took a deep breath, made a gesture, and the five men around him retracted their pressure and sat back down, even their sitting posture was exactly the same.

Seeing that the Fierce Realm warriors brought by Ji Fu obediently withdrew their pressure, the Fierce Realm warriors of the Xiao Clan also withdrew theirs and returned to their original positions. However, their eyes remained fixed on the southwest corner with vigilance.

Looking at the five Fierce Realm warriors beside Ji Fu who were able to execute orders instantaneously, Tang Luo thought to himself, “These guys have quite a deep background!”
