《Dao: Journey to the Top of the Universe》C134. Treasure Pavilion Auction
Advertisement
The next day, the bell in the secret training chamber rang out gently. Shiao Chen slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid gas. A faint light flashed across his face. Feeling the more vigorous life force in his body, Shiao Chen couldn't help showing some joy. He paused for a moment before opening the stone door and heading out.
At the door of the courtyard, Hu San was standing to one side with respect in his eyes. Ever since Shiao Chen took out tens of thousands of Low-grade spiritual stones yesterday, he had regarded Shiao Chen as a disciple of a big Sect who went out alone. Naturally, he fawned on Shiao Chen in order to gain something.
"Greetings, senior."
Shiao Chen waved his hand slightly, indicating the man to stand up and asked lightly, "How are things going?"
"Senior, things haven't gone well." Hu San looked at Shiao Chen warily and didn't see any anger in his eyes, so he said cautiously, "Yesterday, after you rested, I inquired all the hundreds of shops in Tianhai City all night without sleeping. I've inquired about it in detail. None of them has what you need."
When Shiao Chen saw Hu San's haggard face and bloodshot eyes, he knew that Hu San was telling the truth. But he couldn't help feeling disappointed by hearing this.
Hu San was a little hesitant when he saw this. Then he gritted his teeth and said respectfully, "Senior, I know a piece of grapevine. Do you want to know?"
"Spit it out. Don't hem and haw." Shiao Chen glanced at him and said quietly.
"Yes." Hu San paused for a while and then said, "In three days, there will be an auction at the Treasure Pavilion Auction House in the city. Although I don't know if there are any items you need, there will always be many good things in the auction. Ten years ago, even an Earthly Low-grade Secret was auctioned out, and Blackwater Sect paid five hundred thousand Low-grade spiritual stones to get it."

"Earth-rank Method?" Shiao Chen was taken aback, but he didn't show it in his face. He thought to himself, "In three days? Time should be fine. Maybe I should try my luck and see if I can get something good. "
"Since the auction is about to begin, Naturally, I'm going to attend it. You can go ask for a seat for me."
Hu San's face turned stiff and then he smiled bitterly, "Well. The Treasure Pavilion Auction is not for free. Every cultivator needs to pay some fee to attend it."
"Ten Low-grade spiritual stones for one ordinary seat, fifty Low-grade spiritual stones for the higher front seat, and two hundred Low-grade spiritual stones for the VIP box of second floor, which can have at most two people. Five hundred for the third floor, and at most three people.
Shiao Chen nodded. He had heard of this method of showing one's status. He pondered for a moment and took out twenty five Middle-grade spiritual stones and handed them to Hu San, "Go and arrange a box on the second floor. You don't need to come over for the next two days. Come to pick me up when the auction starts."
Middle-grade spiritual stone!
Hu San was so excited that this was the first time he touched Middle-grade spiritual stones since he was born, and there were twenty five.
"Elder, Th... This... Aren't you afraid that I'll take these spiritual stones and flee? Besides, you gave me five more. It only cost 20 Middle-grade spiritual stones in the reserved box.
"If you really take the spiritual stones and leave, that means I have a poor judgement of characters." Shiao Chen waved his hand and turned to the courtyard. "As for the extra five pieces, you'll be rewarded for the next three days." After he finished, the gate of the courtyard closed on its own.
Hu San was in a daze for a while and cast a grateful look at the courtyard. He pinched himself in the thigh with force. Although his expression was painful, his eyes were filled with ecstasy. He looked around cautiously and saw no one noticing him. He hurriedly put away the spiritual stones and slipped into the crowd like a nimble fish, and quickly disappeared.

"Looks like the auction of the Treasure Pavilion has a large scale. Maybe I can really gather all the ingredients for refining the demon corpse puppets, but the Ghost Mist Flowers and magicite diamonds are both rare items. Even if they appear, the auction prices will be astonishing." Shiao Chen sat at the head of the hall and touched his chin and pondered, "I have no problem trading spiritual stones, but I'm afraid that they'll ask for barter. It seems that I need to make some preparations no matter what. "
The Violet-cored Grass of Twelve Leaves acquired in the Seal Land was a treasure, which could bring the dead back to life as long as the soul was not dispersed!
Ten Thousand Years Mist Water Lotus of Ten Leaves could purify the marrow and improve the grade of spiritual root! If someone swallowed this item, even if he was born with a mottled spiritual root, he could still forcefully improve the rank to High-grade.
Baby-shaped Fruit could be used to strengthen the cultivator's soul by force after consuming it. The strength of it was determined by the cultivator's endurance limit, which was enough to save hundreds of years of hard work.
............
Each one of these treasures would probably cause the whole cultivation world to rob them wildly. Not only Nascent Soul cultivators, but also the legendary immortality cultivators would take part in the fight!
It was a pity that these things were the main ingredients for refining the Flame Reversing Elixir, which was the key for Yu Ji's recovery of the soul. Although he had Blood Jade Dragon Teeth Rice, Shiao Chen would not use it at all.
The Blood Jade Dragon Teeth Rice obtained from Mingxiao, it was a peerless divine object that could not be found in the Spiritual World for ten thousand years. It was enough to drive anyone crazy in the world of people! Shiao Chen would not take it out before he had enough strength, so as not to attract a disaster.
Therefore, he needed to carefully prepare what he needed to attend the auction.
Three days in a row, Shiao Chen didn't get out of the room. However, fresh fragrance of herbs came from the secret cultivating chamber from time to time. In just three days, the number of elixirs was enough to shock anyone!
...
On the third day, the whole Tianhai City was full of noises at dawn. Countless cultivators came from all directions to the Treasure Pavilion.
Hu San came to the outside of the courtyard early. Seeing it was still early, he stood there respectfully. Thinking of the joyous look on his daughter's face after she got the spirit tools of Low-grade, which she had been in for a long time, he felt happy. Even his wife, who had never shown a good face, felt elated and gave him a lot of smiles when she returned to her family.
After all, fifty Low-grade spiritual stones were almost half a year's income of him. Thinking of this, Hu San looked at the courtyard with respect and awe.
As he pondered, he gently pulled the red rope in front of the door when it was almost time and a clear ring bell ran in the distance.
After a while, Shiao Chen opened the door and walked out slowly.
"Greetings, senior!" Hu San bowed respectfully without any unnecessary words, he turned around and led the way to the Treasure Pavilion.
