Charter 140 – Falling over on another
Charter 140: Falling over on another
“The Strong Wind Blade, a level seven profound grade weapon. The starting bid will be 4000 gold coins!” Pan Zi Yi loudly announced.
Before her voice finished, someone below the stage already shouted, “7000 gold coins!”
Pan Zi Yi looked over and immediately revealed a smile before saying, “The young master of the ministry of justice bids 7000 gold coins, is there a higher bid?”
“8000 gold coins!”
“Good…..The Firebird Department’s General Liu bids 8000 gold coins, is there anyone else?”
“10000 gold coins!”
“This is……Oh, please excuse this young girl’s bad eyes. The God Marquis Palace’s young master Zeng Fang bids 10000 gold coins, is there a higher bid?”
Even the God Marquis palace’s young master Zeng Fang was here. Was there anyone in Orchid Goose City that did not know the God Marquis Zeng Yi Fan’s son, Zeng Fang? Not to mention that Zeng Fang was wearing the same temple dress as Lin Mu Yu and even wearing a deacon badge, it was very eye catching.
Jin Xiao Tang covered the smile on her lips and said, “It seems like the God Marquis Palace is paying attention to this auction!”
Lin Mu Yu looked over at her, but he did not blame her. After all, Jin Xiao Tang was a merchant, so she only cared about profits and not who she made deals with. She did not care about Lin Mu Yu’s grudges with the God Marquis Palace because it had nothing to do with her.
After Zeng Fang gave the bid of 10000 gold coins, no one responded for a long time. Pan Zi Yi was about to close the bidding, when suddenly a voice sounded out, “12000 gold coins!”
The bidder was Ling Feng.
Pan Zi Yi couldn’t help revealing a smile, “Alright, the Zhen Guo General Manor’s young master has just bid 12000 gold coins! Young marquis Zeng Fang, do you want to make a counter bid?”
Zeng Fang crossed his arms and his eyes revealed a look of stubbornness. He looked at Ling Feng in the distance and said, “Since the Zhen Guo Manor’s young master likes the Strong Wind Blade so much, then Zeng Fang will not force this and give the Strong Wind Blade to you.”
Ling Feng cupped his hand while revealing a strange smile in his eyes, “Many thanks young marquis!”
Lin Mu Yu saw this and couldn’t help giving a secret smile. It seemed like this Zhen Guo Manor and the God Marquis Palace did not get along. Orchid Goose City was very rich, so there were many powers spread all around, creating all kinds of trouble.
“It seems like the God Marquis Palace isn’t all that rich. Zeng Fang actually gave up so easily.” A Dragon Guard said with a smile.
Lin Mu Yu shook his head and gently said, “No, Zeng Fang is saving his money to bid for other weapons.”
“…….” The Dragon Guard was stunned.
Finally, the Strong Wind Blade sold for 12000 gold coins, completely surpassing Lin Mu Yu’s expectations.
The next weapon was the Fire Swallowing Sword which sold for a final price of 13500 gold coins. The swords being sold in auctions were more expensive compared to normal prices. Right now, Lin Mu Yu had sold a total of four weapons and had earned 42900 gold coins. He calmly leaned against the window sill as he looked down on the stage with a smile. The final show hadn’t even begun yet!
“Next, we have an incredibly sharp weapon!”
Pan Zi Yi revealed a faint smile. Behind her, two strong men carried a battle sabre up. Pan Zi Yi touched the blade of the sabre and instantly frost formed in the air. She stuck out her tongue and then said with a smile, “So cold……This battle sabre is called the Ice Soul Sabre, which is a level five profound weapon. The starting bid will be 10000 gold coins. This blade’s edge is very sharp and it is incredibly rare, so we ask that heroes that use sabres to not miss this chance!”
Immediately, Zeng Fang raised his hand and said, “15000 gold coins!”
Although the Ice Soul Sabre was only a level five profound weapon, it was two levels higher than the Fire Swallowing Sword, so the difference was like heaven and earth. Of course that meant that it would have a higher starting bid price.
“18000 gold coins!” Yuwen Lian calmly shouted.
Closely following him, Ling Feng raised his hand and shouted, “22000 gold coins!”
“25000 gold coins!”
Immediately the scene lost control and the crowd fell into an uproar. No one thought that the Ice Soul Sabre would be this desireable and the several young masters would fight over it like this.
Zeng Fang gritted his teeth and then raise his hand again, “30000 gold coins!”
The crowd went silent. Even if the Ice Soul Sabre was good, everyone thought that this price was too much for the level five profound grade Ice Soul Sabre.
Yuwen Lian’s eyes turned cold and he said nothing because this price had already surpassed his bottom line. The Hu Guo General’s Manor did not make as much as the God Marquis Palace. Zeng Yi Fan had his grasps all over the country and the gifts given to him by his generals completely broke down his door. It was well know just how rich the God Marquis Palace was.
Even the Zhen Guo Manor’s Ling Feng cupped his hands and revealed a smile, “Since the young marquis wants this blade so much……Then I’ll just give this Ice Soul Blade to the young marquis.”
Zeng Fang just nodded without saying anything. He ordered a servant to take a bag filled with diamond coins to exchange for the item.
Unknowingly, the auction had already gone on for an hour and it was finally time for the grand finale to come forth. Two strong men came out with a long spear wrapped in a black cloth. Pan Zi Yi came forward and grabbed the handle of the spear. Releasing her true qi and giving a tender shout, the true qi destroyed the cloth and revealed the appearance of the Purgatory Thunder Spear.
“Roar!”
Lightning appeared on the spear, dancing along it. In the blink of an eye, a thunder tiger’s figure appeared above the spear and gave a roar to everyone below the stage, giving off the appearance of a king.
“God…..A Saint Beast Soul?” Zeng Fang had a stunned look on his face.
Ling Feng’s mouth also went wide in astonishment, “My god……The Imperial Capital Store can actually take out a saint grade weapon……This will change the market of Orchid Goose City…….”
Pan Zi Yi had a thick smile on her face as she lightly caressed the spear. With the smile on her face, she said, “The Purgatory Thunder Spear. It was forged with a 8700 year old thunder attributed spirit beast and is a level seven saint weapon. It can also condense a Saint Beast Soul. This is the strongest weapon sold by our store, so there’s no need for me to explain the price and significance of this weapon. The starting price is 30000 gold coins, we ask that everyone skilled in spears to seize this rare opportunity!”
“50000 gold coins.” Before she even finished, Zeng Fang had already raised his hand. It seemed like he was determined to win this Purgatory Thunder Spear.
“70000 gold coins!”
Zhen Guo Manor’s Ling Feng gave a lazy smile and raised the price by 20000. It was as if 20000 gold coins was just a figure to him that had no meaning at all.
Zeng Fang was stunned. He gritted his teeth and raised his hand once again, “80000 gold coins.”
Ling Feng looked at Zeng Fang and gave a faint smile, “100000 gold coins.”
The two of them continued to call out prices, completely stunning the Hu Guo Manor’s young master Yuwen Lian.
Zeng Fang gritted his teeth again. He looked at Ling Feng and then said, “It seems like……the matter of the Zhen Guo Manor mining a fortune in minerals from the mountains of Qin were true after all!”
Ling Feng coldly said, “The Zhen Guo Manor was just following his majesty, so the young marquis should not slander others based on no evidence. Every gold coin earned by my Zhen Guo Manor is completely clean.”
“Is that so?”
Zeng Fang gave a cold smile and then raised his hand again, “120000 gold coins!”
“150000 gold coins!” Ling Feng continued to raise the price. He had reached a point where he could not turn back anymore.
Zeng Fang’s face turned white. He wanted to raise the price again, but he did not have enough gold coins. He had spent too much on the Ice Soul Sabre, otherwise he would compete with Ling Feng in financial resources.
“Humph!”
With a flick of his arm, Zeng Fang gave up on the bet.
On the stage, Pan Zi Yi said with a smile, “Congratulations to the Zhen Guo Manor’s young master for winning the Purgatory Thunder Spear. Please go backstage and exchange for it young master Ling Feng.”
“Many thanks!”
Ling Feng cupped his fists.
Jin Xiao Tang revealed a smile and then looked at Lin Mu Yu to say, “Congratulations big brother Ah Yu. I had thought the Purgatory Thunder Spear would only sell for around 100000 gold coins, but it actually sold for 150000 gold coins, how terrifying!”
Lin Mu Yu’s heart was filled with joy. Just the Purgatory Thunder Spear alone was enough to reimburse him and everything else was pure profit! Even the materials used to help Wei Chou make the Demon Devouring Bow was not calculated in. It seems like in this world, his Alchemy Cauldron and his refining techniques were techniques that easily made him money. He had to use them properly. Even if he couldn’t become the strongest person, he had to become the richest man!
On the stage, Pan Zi Yi continued with the auction. With a very tender laugh, she said, “Next, we will be selling medicines, wu…..We’ve made everyone wait, but we have forty bottles of Dreaming of the Peak for sale today. I think all these heroes should know of Dreaming of the Peak, right? This is a type of medicine that has the strongest ability to stimulate the human body’s potential which is priceless. It had disappeared from the continent, but our store has obtained the Dreaming of the Peak refinement method through a secret channel. Alright, no need to say anything else. The price for Dreaming of the Peak will be 5000 gold coins per bottle. Let’s begin!”
“8000 gold coins per bottle, I want all of them!”
A rough voice came from outside the door. When everyone looked over, they saw a young military officer leading a group of Imperial Guards in – Qin Lei!
“Big brother Qin Lei is here?” Lin Mu Yu was surprised.
Chu Huai Sheng looked down and said, “That’s right…..Why is big brother Qin Lei here?”
Jun Xiao Tang had a wide smile on her face, “Wa oh, even the Imperial Guard commander is here. Hee, hee, our Imperial Capital Store is becoming famous this time.”
Lin Mu Yu knit his brows and then said, “Since commander Qin Lei wants them…..Can I take back my promise? Xiao Tang, can we stop the auction and sell the Dreaming of the Peak to commander Qin Lei in private?”
Jin Xiao Tang gave a wink, “Come, I’ll do it!”
Saying this, she moved to the window and made a crossed hand signal to the stage below. Pan Zi Yi on the stage saw this and nodded, then she said with a faint smile, “I’m sorry everyone…..Due to something coming up, we will not be selling the Dreaming of the Peak…..”
“What?”
Qin Lei did not understand this and raised the Thunder Cleaver as he shouted, “You’re not selling it as soon as I come to buy it, what does that mean?”
Zeng Fang, Ling Feng, and the others all had looks of dissatisfaction.
Jin Xiao Tang said from above, “Commander Qin Lei, please come to the back. This young miss has something to talk about with you.”
Not long passed and the angry Qin Lei entered the back room. He was about to explode, but he saw Lin Mu Yu, Chu Huai Sheng, and Jin Xiao Tang walk in together.
“Ah Yu……Chu Huai Sheng? You guys……” Qin Lei’s eyes opened wide.
Jin Xiao Tang gave a laugh, “Commander Qin Lei, you still don’t understand? These Dreaming of the Peak were refined by Sir Lin Mu Yu!”
“Ah?”
Qin Lei was even more shocked, “Ah Yu……You know how to refine Dreaming of the Peak?”
