Chapter 524 - Crying a river of tears
Lian Yu’s face was burning inside the pavilion. Third Mo was clearly mocking him! If it were not for the elder stopping him, he would probably have walked off in fury.
The other powers were much unlike the other seeker spirit masters who had long since recognised them. However, when they heard the exchange between them, they finally found out who these two crazy bidders were. They still felt it was a huge amount, however, now that the thought about it, this was just a hair off the back of a nine bulls.
Liang Yu slammed a fist on the table then spat, “This Third Mo really thinks he’s all that! I’ll give him a taste of his own medicine one day!”
“Young Master, there’s no need to be rash.” That elder advised, “Third Mo is recalcitrant and has offended many powers in the recent years. However, he’s still been living well. If it is not due to his huge talent, then it is because his background is too prestigious. Regardless, we cannot move lightly.
.
“I am the Stone Pavilion’s Master, do I not have the right to touch him?” Liang Yu did not care for Third Mo at all.
“The last time, the Sage Pavilion’s men provoked him and the whole branch moved out, but they were completely wiped out. Also, the pavilion didn’t even say anything.” The elder said.
Lian Yu was shocked, “What kind of background does Third Mo have that even the pavilion doesn’t dare to speak up!”
The elder shook his head and said with a heavy heart, “Nobody knows what kind of background Third Mo has. Everyone thought that he was a lone cultivator, but how could a lone cultivator be that powerful? That’s why many just guess that he has a strong backer. Young Master, you do not have any grudge against him that cannot be solved, so it’s best that you do not continue fighting.
The fact that Liang Yu was able to become the young master meant that he naturally had this bit of sense. He knew that there were people within the clan who were already dissatisfied with him. He was afraid that he would be unable to hold on to his position as the young master.
The ore was quickly sent to the private room Third Mo and the others were in. Third Mo took out his crystal card and deducted forty million crystals from it. Like a true rich man, he didn’t even bat an eyelid.
Sima You yue and the others dashed in front of the ore and took a few good looks at it. This ore that was half the height of a person was worth forty million? It was worth more than their lives.
However, no matter how they looked at it, they couldn’t see what was different about it.
“Is this really an ancient ore?” Sima You Yue asked.
“I can’t tell. I don’t feel like it’s any different from the usual stones.” Fatty Qu said while scratching his head.
“I can tell that it is an ore, but I can’t tell whether or not the inside contains a spirit stone.” Qin Mo said.
Sima You Yue was considered as the strongest one. She took a look at the ore and said, “I can tell that this ore has been around longer than usual, but I can’t tell that it’s an ore from the ancient times. I can sense that the item inside isn’t bad, but I can’t tell that it’s a living creature.”
Third MO walked over and touched the stone, saying, “It’s normal that you won’t be able to tell. From the raw stone, you can tell that this ore looks ordinary. Most seeker spirit masters will treat it as the average raw stone or useless item. You’ve only been a seeker spirit master for a short while, so it’s already not bad that you are able to tell that this is not the average stone.”
Sima You Yue did not become dejected just because they couldn’t tell what was inside it. Just as Third MO had said, She had not been in this occupation for a long time. She still had to take things slow. If she rushed into it before the time was ripe, she might end up walking the wrong path.
“Lord Third Mo, when do you plan to open it?” Kong Xiang Yi asked with eyes filled with expectation.
Everyone wanted to see what was inside it, and were looking at Third Mo with great expectations.
Third Mo shook his head, saying, “I don’t know yet.”
“Why? Do you not plan to open it?” Fatty Qu asked.
“It’s not that I don’t want to open it. However, if it really is an ancient beast, when we open it, that creature might run away. If I am unable to find it after that, my forty million would really have gone down the drain.”
“The probability of that isn’t that high. Also, we can just set up a barrier!” Kong Xiang Yi said.
“It would be fine if it were the average beast. However, if it’s something very powerful, we will be in danger if it’s powerful. Even two wouldn’t be able to stop it.” Third Mo said.
Fatty Qu and the others looked at Sima You Yue. Although they didn’t say anything,she knew what they meant. If she was able to keep the item into her spirit pagoda, they would be able to stop it in an instant and they wouldn’t need to worry about it escaping either.
Although she didn’t say anything, Third Mo and Qin Mo were both people she could depend on completely. Kong Xiang Yi wasn’t, though. She had no plans to tell her anything right now.
Oh, but if she became her sister in law, she wouldn’t need to keep it from her either.
Or she could ask Dear Feng when she got back. He had the most right to speak with regards to Kong Xiang Yi.
However, since they couldn’t tell what the end result would be, everyone turned their attention from the ore back to the auction stage.
At this time, two items had already been bid for. When they turned to look, the servant girl happened to be carrying up a long box. The item inside appeared to be a weapon.
Jun Cang indicated for the servant girl to open the box, and a metre long white whip appeared.
“Many of you should already have guessed what the item is this round. It is the long lost Divine Whip. Based on the knowledge of spirit masters, it is a divine tool that can aid you in battle. We have already gotten it verified and can confirm that it is the Divine Whip that was all the rage that year. The starting bid is two hundred thousand crystal stones. The bid starts now.”
The moment Jun Cang spoke, the area erupted with bids. They were all bidding fervently, and the site was even more lively when compared to the ancient ore.
When they were auctioning off the ore, the ones who were bidding were the seeker spirit masters. This time, the entire place was participating. Everyone wanted to keep the whip for themselves.
Even Kong Xiang Yi had held on to Ximen Feng’s arm excitedly the moment the divine whip appeared. Her eyes shone brighter than the stars.
There were many who desired it, so the price climbed along with it. However, Kong Xiang Yi had come prepared this time. She managed to obtain the divine whip at a price of 7 million.
Kong Xiang Yi fondled the whip lovingly and beamed non stop.
Sima You Yue came over and took a look. The workmanship was extremely good and was suited for small lady hands. Furthermore, it wasn’t that long, and wasn’t the average weapon.
“Divine Whip. For knowledge’s sake, you should get it examined if there is an opportunity.” Qin Mo said.
“I was thinking of that too.” Kong Xiang Yi almost wanted to look for an enemy to try it out on right now.
“Junior, the item you want it coming up.” Wu Lingyu said.
When they heard him say this, everyone’s attention was drawn away from the divine whip. Even Kong Xian Yi kept the divine whip into her interspatial ring to pay attention to the outside.
“The item up for auction this time has a beautiful name- Falling Divine Tears. It is an ingredient in pill making that one will definitely need. Things like advancement pills, mind recovery pills and so on. It is rare for Falling Divine Tears to appear even once in ten thousand years. It is because this is lacking that many pill clans have the method, but no way to refine it. Everyone is in luck today. This is the biggest Falling Divine Tears that we have ever had. It can be used four to five times. Of course, it has many more uses than what I have listed, but I’m sure you already know it. The starting bid is five hundred thousand, the bid starts now!”
