Chapter 190 - Auction Starts
Song Yu led Jian through the crowd of the auction hall. Everyone was trying to find their seat so no one paid any attention to them. After a few minutes of walking, they reached a room.
Song Yu stopped at the door and immediately apologized that higher grade rooms are not available so they had to give him a mid-grade room. Jian told her it doesn't matter.
She nodded and opened the door and as the door was opened Jian was left speechless. Because the room was so big the person can live in it.
A huge window was front to see the items of the auction. Everything in the room was created by a one-star tree. He didn't expect such a thing as Soaring Cloud Pavilion.
Song Yu saw that he has stopped at the entrance.
"Is there a problem master Jianyu"
Jian looked and shook his head. He went inside and then Song Yu came inside and closed the door. He sat on the chair and saw that many different types of tea were kept on the table.
He was shocked to the tea leaves were two-star herbs. He was He didn't expect they were serving such a thing in mid-grade rooms.
He couldn't help but think that if they can provide such services in the mid-grade room they how high would be the service of the high-grade room.
He shook his head and his eyes fell on a scroll kept on the table. Song Yu saw that Jian was looking at the scroll so she immediately explained.
"Master this scroll contains a list of the items that are going to be auctioned. You can check if you like any items."
Jian had already guessed about the scroll but Song Yu's explanation confirmed. He looked outside the window and saw that people are still gathering and checked the remaining time for the auction.
He took the scroll and started to check it. Even though he was attending the auction as a formality to seal his spirit fruits. If he find something peculiar then he would not hesitate to bid.
But he was when he went through the list. Most of the items on auction were weapons and pills. After that, there was the beast core of a Nascent Soul Realm beast meaning four-star beast.
This item piqued Jian's interest but it was not the item he needed. He continues to go through the list but nothing got him interested.
There were several Mortal Grade techniques and even one low-level earth Grade technique but this didn't catch his attention. He has more than enough amount of these techniques insect.
So he continued to go through them but suddenly one technique caught his interest and it was the earth Grade Saber technique. Even though he already had multiple techniques in the sect but none satisfied him.
So he decides that he will check out the technique. Aside from, that there is a cultivation technique but there is no information about it.
He immediately asked Song Yu. She looked at the list and explained.
"Master Jianyu, that item was appraised by the high-level Appraiser but he also couldn't find anything. He was able to tell that it was some type of cultivation technique buy nothing else."
Jian nodded, he didn't expect to find such an item that even a high-level Appraiser can't appraise. He decided that when the item comes for the auction he will check to find about it.
He went through the rest of the list but couldn't find the spirit fruits. So he asked Song Yu.
"Are spirit fruits not an auction?"
Song Yu looked at him for a few minutes and then explained.
"They were added today and the list was already prepared. But no need to worry be they be auctioned and you can also find d several different items which are not in the list."
After explaining she kept staring at him. Jian started to feel nervous because aside from his disciples she knew that Jian had spirit fruits and if she were able to connect them with him then his identity as Chaos will be exposed.
He calmed himself and asked her.
"What happened Song Yu? "
"Master Jianyu, did you put the fruits on the auction."
As he heard her question he panicked but he didn't show her. He calmed himself he has already expected. that she would ask him that question so he counters questioned her instead.
"I thought you put the spirit fruits in the auction?
Because I had to use half of my fruits in the tomb to survive and complete my techniques and remain well I was careless and they have lost their spirituality."
Song Yu was shocked she didn't expect that he would be careless but she also agreed that a one-star sect would not have anything that can preserve the spirit fruits so she nodded and also she had seen him cultivate and knew he needs a huge amount of resources. She still couldn't believe him but then Jian continued to explain.
"I thought you were the one who put the fruits on the auction that's why I decided to come and ask. But since you questioned me looks like you didn't put them."
"Yes, Master Jianyu I will never, I was only able to take a small amount of the fruits. Which I have already used to cultivate.
I also asked around to find about it but no one knows Aside from Miss Meng Shu so I didn't ask her."
Hearing her Jian nodded and sighed inside. Even though he was hoping to meet Meng Shu as the Chaos when he went to put fruits on the auction.
He had not experienced finding Song Yu. So when he met Meng Shu as Chaos Song Yu was also there and she had seen everything but before she could do anything Meng Shu has led Chaos to a private room and called her Master.
Song Yu thought that Chaos was friends with Ling Min that's why she didn't enquire with Meng Shu.
Jian had only one doubt about his plan and that was Song Yu. But now he sighed relief and waited for the auction to start.
The rest of the plan was easy. If he finds anything he likes to buy then he will hide for it and if he succeeds to get the item then he will leave the auction saying that it is some urgent matter or has to be somewhere.
After that, he will only return when the auction is ended. But this time he will be back as Chaos and after taking his SP. He would immediately disappear.
As the auction will end at the night. It will work in his favour and he will be able to change the getup in a nearby alley.
His plan was already set in motion and he was hoping that the spirit fruits would sell for a higher price.
After that, he would immediately by cultivation technique for Ling'er and Zhou You and himself.
Jian and Song Yu discussed the final trials of the tomb. Song Yu told him everything that happened on the last trial.
Even though he already knew but he still listened to her very attentively. Because he wanted to pass the time.
As they continued to speak suddenly the auction hall has become quiet. Everyone's attention had been brought on the main stage.
A girl came on the stage and started the auction. As the auction was started everyone started to get excited.
She introduced herself and thanked everyone for coming to the auction. Then she started to talk with the audience who were sitting near the stage.
Jian felt that a fan meeting is going on because as she came on the stage cultivators near the stage have started to get excited.
After she was done talking with the audience then she explained the rules of the auction and she left several hints in them that they should be careful while bidding.
She then teased about a few items which were not on the list. It continues for twenty minutes and after that, the introduction was complete and finally she called out for the first item of the auction.
Everyone immediately became quiet and focused on the stage. Jian was able to feel the excitement coming from below but from upward he felt that the people were not paying any attention.
Jian shook his and focused on the stage.. The auction has officially started.
