FORSAKEN IMMORTALS

Chapter 151 - End Of The Auction



Chapter 151 - End Of The Auction

When the Elder of the Undying Sword Sect saw how the Eternal Shadow Lord stopped bidding, he was confused. It was clear that it was the companion who asked him to stop, but who was this person who could influence the Eternal Shadow Lord to such a degree?

Even more surprising was that this person did not seem greedy for a pill of such origin. Although the Elder was far away, he could still see the disregard that the cloak-wearing person seemed to have towards the item on the stage.

The youngsters present did not sense that something was wrong, but every Elder present could not help but give Bai Rouyun an extra glance.

Whether it was for her ability to change Li Moyun’s mind, or if it was due to her disregard for the pill, both made it clear that she was no ordinary person, and none of them assumed that she was an idiot who did not know better.

The Eternal Shadow Lord had already been regarded as an extremely intelligent and cunning man; he was not going to bring a stupid person to such an important event like this was.

While the Elder shifted their attention to the cloaked person, the youngsters were all feeling mixed emotions.

The youngsters from the Undying Sword Sect were all thrilled knowing that the pill would belong to their sect, while the two other major sects were trying to look at the positive side. While they would not own the pill, their chief alchemists could examine and analyze it, so they too, would benefit from the Undying Sword Sect winning the pill.

The manager, who was standing at the stage, was somewhat perplexed when he saw that Li Moyun made a bid that raised the price by more than half, but as soon as he was outbid, he did not make another attempt at bidding for it.

However, he, as an auctioneer, did not have the right to force anyone to bid, and thus he ended the auction swiftly.

He was also extremely pleased to know that the pill had fetched the high price of sixteen hundred essence stones.

Although the seller had a VIP token, they would still take five percent of the sale price, meaning that the Thousand Treasure Pavilion had earned a whole eighty essence stones.

One has to know that one essence stone was equal to one million gold coins, and even if you had the gold, it would be very difficult to find someone willing to sell their essence stones for mere gold.

The Thousand Treasure Pavilion had many branches spread over the entire continent. While some of them were specialized in the mortal world, others were similarly focused on cultivators.

While Canglan City had the Blue Water Institute, this was the very beginning of one’s journey to become a cultivator, and it was already good if the auction house could see ten essence stones in a year.

Most people would pay with gold for the items that were put up for sale, as the essence stone was an extremely helpful cultivation resource.

"Let us head backstage," Li Moyun whispered in Bai Rouyun’s ear as he stood up and straightened his body. Bai Rouyun nodded her head and allowed her husband to drag her to her feet.

Together, and hand in hand, the two made their way to the back of the stage where a temporary tent had been erected.

The other factions looked confused at Li Moyun when they saw him going to the back. He was not the winner of the auction, so why would he head there?

However, most of them were reminded of the fact that the Eternal Shadow Lord was a personal friend of the Young Master of the Shitian Tower, and the Thousand Treasure Pavilion was merely a branch of this faction.

While there were three major sects, none of them could rival Shitian Tower. That faction was the real hegemon of the continent. Although Xue Jingyu was threatening to kill the factions who had been involved in the hunting of the Ice Phoenix Bai Rouyun, he was still not the one in control of the faction, and thus his father, the true Faction Leader, was suppressing him.

Perhaps the Eternal Shadow Lord was here for the sake of contacting Xue Jingyu?

Most of them settled on this explanation, and did not overthink as they also stood up and began retreating from the auction space.

Only the experts from the Undying Sword Sect began moving towards the tent at the back as well.

They were like peacocks, trying their best to show off their feathers. They had pushed their chests out, and their faces were full of arrogance as their noses pointed towards the sky.

When Bai Rouyun looked at them, she could not help but chuckle slightly. It resembled a mother hen and her chicks as they came waddling down the aisle between the stairs.

Li Moyun had not paid them any attention; however, upon hearing the chuckle from Bai Rouyun, he raised his head to look at them. What greeted him made his lips curl into a smile, and his eyebrow raised slightly.

These sect members were really too full of themselves. While he understood that they were seen as geniuses on this continent, he could not help but look down upon them.

While it was true that talent was a very important factor in one’s future accomplishments, what truly mattered was the amount of effort one was willing to put into something to make it a success.

Only if one was willing to face hardship, go through difficulties, and continuously challenge their limits would they be able to succeed and become someone prominent.

This was also why he, who was only a few years older than these people, was already at the Innate Realm, Violet Tier, while they were far behind.
