Chapter 75-76
Chapter 75: Strange Flame map (Part 1)
After Mo Tian Chou and Ye Yu Xi entered the auction hall, the matters outside was naturally taken care of by Housekeeper Qiu.
"Everyone! The auction hall preparations have already been made and we have made everyone wait long! The auction will soon begin!" Housekeeper Qiu called everyone into the auction hall.
There was only the Li Family's genius young miss standing there in a daze.
"Young miss, we seem to be in trouble, what should we do?" A maid was already close to crying. At least she wasn't too stupid, she could tell from Mo Tian Chou's actions that her young miss had offended people they could not afford to offend!
The other maid was also crying. She had thought she would come to see the auction hall, but she had followed her young miss into trouble. The young miss was the eldest daughter of the family head, but they were only maids. If they went back like this, they would be beaten to death by the family!
Pa!
Li Zhi Han turned to slap the maid's face and she cursed, "Cry, cry, cry, you only know how to cry!"
The other maid seemed to have understood something. Today's situation was bad for her, so with a sinister look in her eyes, she moved beside Li Zhi Han and said, "Young miss, if we go back like this, the family head will not let us off. How about we….."
……
Primary Martial Auction Hall.
Ye Yu Xi and Qing'er sat in the VIP room, watching Mo Tian Chou personally pouring tea for them. Then she said, "Young master Mo, I won't chat with you today. This is the five Purple Spirit Pills, please take them."
Mo Tian Chou took one of the five white jade bottles on the table and slightly opened it. A fresh medicinal smell wafted out and filled the entire VIP room, making everyone who smelled it shocked. This was a real Purple Spirit Pill!"
"Naturally we have confidence in the young miss' items, so we won't check them one by one. Someone, bring these bottles to Housekeeper Qiu." Mo Tian Chou waved his hand and had someone carry the five white jade bottles away on a plate.
"Two young misses, will the money for today's pills be sent to young miss Ye Yu Xi's residence, or….."
"No need to trouble young miss Ye, we also want to buy some things today. As for the gold coins, we'll settle it after the auction." Ye Yu Xi lowered her voice.
Mo Tian Chou revealed a faint smile, "Alright, we'll follow the young miss' instructions. Someone, come and bring the two young misses to the VIP seats."
Ye Yu Xi and Qing'er followed the guard to the VIP seats. This time it was much better than the Blood Asura Auction Hall, at least there was some tea and some snacks.
After a while, the auction hall's lights dimmed. Just moving slightly away meant one couldn't see another person's face. The only light left was on the auction stage.
"Everyone, this old man will be in charge of the auction today. We hope everyone will take care of our Primary Martial Auction Hall in the future!" The one on the stage was not a normal auctioneer, but rather it was Housekeeper Qiu! It was enough to see how much importance the Primary Martial Auction Hall attached to this auction.
"Housekeeper Qiu, you haven't come up in a year and a half, so don't start with those pleasantries! Just start the auction already!"
People familiar with Housekeeper Qiu below shouted in loud voices. They were already impatient from waiting outside and if they had to wait through more pleasantries inside, all their patience would be gone.
A servant came up holding a plate and gave the item in the plate to Housekeeper Qiu.
Housekeeper Qiu used the quickest method to introduce the first item, "Everyone, the first lot today is two Purple Spirit Pills! The bottom price will be fifty thousand gold coins! Each bid increment cannot be less than two thousand gold coins."
Chapter 76: Strange Flame map (Part 2)
In the end, the two pills were bought for a high price of one hundred and fifty thousand gold coins by a large family.
Qing'er's little eyes under her cloak lit up. When the heard the final price of one hundred and fifty gold coins, she excitedly grabbed Ye Yu Xi's hand and her voice had a bit of trembling to it, "Young miss, an entire hundred and fifty thousand gold coins! We're rich this time!"
"Why are you so excited, there are still three more that haven't been sold. Sit down quietly. We'll see if there's anything worth buying and if there's nothing happening the next two days, we'll head to the mountains." Ye Yu Xi said to Qing'er in a hoarse voice.
"The mountain? What mountain?" Qing'er was stunned. The young miss had not mentioned this once!
While they had been speaking, there were two items that had been sold on the stage.
The next lot, three Purple Spirit Pills!
Weng!
The hall was filled with noise as excited discussions exploded out.
Three Purple Spirit Pills and adding in the two from before, it was an entire five pills! Being able to sell five Purple Spirit Pills in a single day, the Primary Martial Auction Hall's network was truly wide, being able to contact a third grade alchemist!
"Two hundred thousand!"
"Two hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Two hundred and eighty thousand!"
The prices came one by one. Three Purple Spirit Pills, as long as their younger generation fought for it, there was a chance of creating a young expert! Like this, perhaps in another decade or two, Ningyuan City would have another first class power or another giant!
Finally, the three Purple Spirit Pills were sold for a high price of three hundred and fifty thousand gold coins!
Ye Yu Xi was very calm, this was within her expectations. However, of the seven-eight items that had already been taken out, there was not a single item that could interest her. She couldn't help feeling disappointed.
"Everyone, the next lot is very special!"
Housekeeper Qiu's simple words instantly attracted everyone's attention and what attracted their attention even more was the servant on the stage! In their hand, there was another tray!
Could it be another pill?
Everyone was guessing and their breathing all became a bit nervous!
"This is the final lot today! An incomplete hidden treasure map!" Housekeeper Qiu paused for a second and looked over everyone.
The people below were all servants from various powers, each one was a talented person. Treasure maps were commonly seen and most maps were likely to be fakes. Even if it was real, many of them had already been taken by other people! So, the price of treasure maps in auctions had never been high.
Housekeeper Qiu was not worried because of the reactions from the people below. With a smile, he said, "Today's treasure map is not normal. According to a real source, this treasure map marks the location of a Strange Flame!"
Strange Flame! Ye Yu Xi revealed a curious look in her eyes. Strange Flames were very helpful for alchemists!
When it came to Strange Flames, not only Ye Yu Xi was interested in the treasure map on the stage, there were several other powers that were interested.
But many of them helplessly shook their head and directly gave it up. An incomplete treasure map, even if it was for a Strange Flame, it would be no use if they obtained it. It was unknown if they could complete it and even if they did find it, they didn't have anyone in their family with alchemy skills, so keeping it was like holding a hot potato.
"The starting price is fifty thousand gold coins!" Housekeeper Qiu gave the price.
"Sixty thousand gold coins." A family head tentatively raised a price. He did not believe that he could buy the map for this price, but he was not willing to let it go.
"Sixty thousand going once, sixty thousand going….."
"Seventy thousand!" A voice that was a bit domineering spoke out.
