Chapter 1064: 973 Auction

A month and more later, Qingmei Garden.

Liu Sixin sat in a Green Stone Pavilion, with Liu Yuqian and Liu Yang reporting to him.

"This Taiyi Tungsten Crystal was acquired by Junior Brother Ye?"

Liu Sixin frowned and said.

Even for him, to get a piece of Taiyi Tungsten Crystal was not easy. Junior Brother Ye actually managed to acquire one—it was an achievement in the truest sense.

"I’ve already signed for it. I suspect that it was given by Senior Sister Ye and others to make it look like Junior Brother Ye’s accomplishment."

Liu Yuqian speculated.

"Impossible. Senior Sister Ye has absolutely no need to do such a thing. If I had a piece of Taiyi Tungsten Crystal, I wouldn’t use it to boost a junior’s accomplishments. Do you think Taiyi Tungsten Crystals are common?"

Liu Sixin rejected her speculation.

"Then it must be that Junior Brother Ye had dumb luck, stumbling upon a Taiyi Tungsten Crystal."

Liu Yang analyzed.

"Do you know who sold the Taiyi Tungsten Crystal to Junior Brother Ye?"

Liu Sixin inquired further.

"Not sure, we’ve been quite busy lately and haven’t paid attention to him. I’ll have someone look into it!"

Liu Yuqian said.

"It’d be good if you could find out. If not, let it be. The auction is tomorrow, and you two are in charge of auctioning the items. Make sure to do well."

Liu Sixin instructed.

"Yes, Master Uncle Liu."

Liu Yuqian and Liu Yang chorused their agreement.

······

Qingpeng Pavilion, Shen Long sat on the main seat, holding a Law Disk that twinkled with red lights.

The door swung open and Shen Long walked in, the door closing automatically behind him.

"Oh, husband, you’re back. I thought you were going to miss the auction!"

Chu Buyu said with a smile.

"I went out to sell Immortal Pills and thought there was plenty of time, so I did some alchemy in the Myriad Beasts Tower. Any news on the True Spirit Five-Colored Peacock?"

Shen Long asked.

"Nothing yet, but this auction is quite large. I heard there will be a True Spirit Core of a True Immortal Realm True Spirit up for auction. I’ve given Chu Yun over a thousand Immortal Yuan Stones to bid on the resources we need. I have over four thousand three hundred Immortal Yuan Stones on me."

Chu Buyu said.

"I have over a thousand Immortal Yuan Stones on me, which makes over five thousand in total. That should be enough for us to bid on items. But to be cautious, let’s change our appearances and identities before we go."

Shen Long suggested.

Chu Buyu had no objections. After some leisurely chat, they entered the Practice Room to meditate and regulate their breath.

The next morning, they left the Practice Room, disguised themselves, changed into a new set of clothes, and left Qingpeng Pavilion.

It was still dark outside, but the marketplace was brightly lit.

They arrived at a vast Green Stone Plaza, and in the center of the plaza stood a gleaming Treasure Pagoda. On the pagoda’s body, the silver characters "Tianyue Tower" could be seen - the venue for the auction.

At the entrance of Tianyue Tower stood two True Immortal Cultivators responsible for collecting the entry fee. A long line stretched before the gate, filled with numerous True Immortal Cultivators.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu joined the queue and before long, they reached the entrance of Tianyue Tower, handing over four Immortal Yuan Stones.

The guards gave them a Green Jade Plaque and let them inside.

Upon entering Tianyue Tower, they were greeted by a spacious and bright hall. In the center of the hall was a green stone platform a hundred feet in size, with a green jade table and two golden jade chairs placed upon it.

To the left and right sides of the hall, there were jade stairs crafted from green jade that extended upwards to the floors above.

A Green-robed Attendant quickly approached, bowing respectfully, "Excuse me, venerable ones, please show your entry plaques, and I will guide you."

Chu Buyu took out the Green Jade Plaque given by the guards, and the Green-robed Attendant led them towards the green jade stairs on the left.

Before long, they arrived at the end of the green jade staircase, and a row of stone chambers with closed doors came into view, each door featuring an identically-sized groove.

They stopped in front of one of the chambers, inserted the green jade plaque into the groove, and infused it with Immortal Yuan Power.

A gentle green light shone from the jade plaque, as the door swung open, revealing a stone chamber a hundred paces in size.

A golden mirror twinkled on the wall, through which one could see the green stone high platform in the great hall. Next to the mirror was a fist-sized groove.

Inside the chamber stood a green jade table and four golden jade stools, with another similarly-sized groove located on the wall facing the entrance.

The green-robed attendant detailed the usage of the green jade plaque and then withdrew.

Chu Buyu shook the green jade plaque in his hand, and the door closed automatically.

"Each person has to pay an entrance fee of two Immortal Yuan Stones. Just the entrance fees alone will earn Tianyue Sect a hefty sum. I hope we can manage to obtain something that can be used to comprehend Laws," said Chu Buyu, his face awash with anticipation.

"We should be able to obtain something. As for Dao Pills, that’s hard to say. Many True Immortals attend the auction just for Dao Pills, but unfortunately, there aren’t many available," Shen Long remarked.

Chu Buyu nodded and added, "These are only First Grade Dao Pills. If they were Second Grade, the competition would be even fiercer."

They sat down and drank tea as they waited for the auction to begin.

Shortly after half an hour had passed, the ringing of a loud bell signaled the start of the auction.

Liu Yuqian and Liu Yang descended from the sky and landed on the green stone high platform.

"I am Liu Yuqian, and this is Junior Brother Liu at my side. We welcome all fellow daoists and seniors to this auction. We will be presiding over this event," Liu Yuqian introduced herself.

Liu Yang took out three porcelain vials of different colors and said, "Three vials of Purple Elm Pills, each refined with 600,000-year-old Purple Elm Flowers, offer excellent healing properties. The starting bid is twenty Immortal Yuan Stones, and each incremental bid must be no less than two stones."

"Twenty!"

"Twenty-two!"

"Twenty-four!"

······

The bidding continued unabated, quickly surpassing the thirty Immortal Yuan Stone mark.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu had no interest in the Purple Elm Pills, as they had no immediate use for them; there was no need to waste money.

The three vials of Purple Elm Pills were all sold, with the lowest transaction price being sixty-eight Immortal Yuan Stones and the highest being eighty.

Following the sale of Purple Elm Pills, Liu Yang successively brought out various First Rank Immortal Pills, offering effects like detoxification, strengthening of Divine Sense, Divine Soul, and others, among which, the Mysterious Soul Golden Essence Pill that bolstered the Divine Soul fetched the highest price – one vial for five hundred Immortal Yuan Stones.

From this, it was clear that True Immortal Cultivators placed great importance on nurturing the Divine Soul.

Liu Yang presented five different-colored jade boxes and said, "Five Heavenly Moon Talismans, which can aid True Immortal Cultivators in comprehending Laws. These are one-time-use items, where one Heavenly Moon Talisman can last a hundred thousand years. The starting bid is one hundred Immortal Yuan Stones, with each increment no less than twenty stones."

"One hundred!"

"One hundred and twenty!"

"One hundred and forty!"

······

The competition was fierce, and Shen Long joined the bidding.

After several rounds of bidding, Shen Long won two Heavenly Moon Talismans at a high price of eight hundred Immortal Yuan Stones.

Chu Buyu approached the mirror, her gaze landing on the groove beside it. She took out an Immortal Yuan Stone, placed it in the groove, and immediately, a beam of golden light shone, revealing a palm-sized hollow.

She continued to insert seven hundred ninety-nine Immortal Yuan Stones into the hollow, from which two exquisite golden jade boxes flew out and fell into Chu Buyu’s hands, the entire transaction unseen by any third party, ensuring their safety.

Chu Buyu opened the two golden jade boxes, each containing a Heavenly Moon Talisman. She nodded in satisfaction and then infused the green jade plaque with Immortal Yuan Power again.

A beam of green light shot out from the jade plaque, entered the hollow, and sealed it, leaving behind the groove.

"With these two Heavenly Moon Talismans, we can now comprehend Laws," said Shen Long with a smile.
