Chapter 750: Auction (4)


    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios


    Things progressed stably with the passage of time. The Gu Immortals entering became fewer and


    fewer. After a while longer, Qin Bai Sheng closed the entrance of his blessednd.


    He walked to the raised tform in front of the main hall, proiming briefly and to the point: “Ladies


    and gentlemen, the time has arrived, the auction will officially start!”


    “Strange, why have Fairy Li Shan and Hei Lou Lan not arrived?” Tai Bai Yun Sheng transmitted a


    message to Fang Yuan.


    “Yes, I am also puzzled. ording to Fairy Li Shan’s nature, she should be sitting in the main hall after


    she arrives. However, there is not even a trace of her.” Fang Yuan replied.


    “The auction currently has three spaces for participants; the main hall, single rooms and secret rooms.


    If they had chosen a secret room, they would have entered directly through secret pathways and not


    made a public appearance. But even if Fairy Li Shan entered a secret room, she would not have done


    so without even greeting us. Have you noticed this, there are no Gu Immortals of Hei tribe present.” Tai


    Bai Yun Sheng pointed it out.


    Fang Yuan mumbled: “We should first send a letter inquiring about the situation. Fairy Li Shan and Hei


    Lou Lan are bound to us by the Snowy Mountain Alliance, the possibility of them betraying us is not


    likely. If they encountered an ambush from Hei Cheng and others, with the strength of those two, they


    should have been able to send a message to request for support.”


    While the two were secretly discussing, the first auction item was already disyed on the tform.


    “Everyone should know, these are sky chief clouds. When they are spread out, they can stretch out for


    over a thousand and three hundred square kilometres. Such arge amount of sky chief clouds are


    rare even in treasure yellow heaven! The starting bid is twenty immortal essence stones, every bid


    should be an increase of at least five immortal essence stones. Please start!” Qin Bai Sheng


    announced.


    “Sky chief clouds, this is useful for my Tai Bai blessednd.” Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s attention was


    immediately attracted, and he subconsciously utilized the prepared mortal Gu in the secret room to


    make his bid.


    Qin Bai Sheng sensed the bid and immediately announced: “The eleventh secret room bids thirty


    immortal essence stones.”


    The next moment, a cloud path Gu Immortal in the main hall shouted: “Thirty-five immortal essence


    stones.”


    Tai Bai Yun Sheng chuckled as he activated the mortal Gu to bid again. He directly raised the price by


    ten, to forty-five immortal essence stones.


    Forty-five immortal essence stones were enough to buy a deste beast corpse.


    The cloud path Gu Immortal who had made the bid gritted his teeth, hesitating for a while but not


    making another bid.


    On the ground, there was the earth chief beast, in the sky, there was the sky chief beast. Within the


    immemorial nine heavens, sky chief beast groups more or less lived in each of the heavens.


    The so-called sky chief clouds were formed from the breath of the sky chief beast; condensing slowly


    over long periods of time.


    These clouds could construct an environment in the immortal aperture that could greatly increase the


    production of cloud path Gu worms. If a group of sky chief beasts live in this cloudy environment, the


    effect would be even more wondrous, and if it was managed properly, there would be a never-ending


    flow of sky chief clouds.


    However, the intact parts of the immemorial nine heavens could only be explored by powerful rank


    seven or rank eight Gu Immortals.


    Every sky chief beast was at least a mutated beast king,parable to an ordinary beast emperor.


    And the king of every group of sky chief beasts was essentially at deste beast level.


    “Forty-five immortal essence stones, going once.” Qin Bai Sheng spoke, seeing that there were no


    more bids.


    “There are alreadyrge numbers of float ball tea in my blessednd. I will have the first batch of


    harvest at the end of this month. I intend to bring in jade hummingbirdster on. If I can add sky chief


    clouds, I will have the building blocks to smoothly bring in sky flowers and floating sparrowhawks.


    Junior brother, you advanced to Gu Immortalter than me, but you already have experience in


    managing blessednds through Hu Immortal blessednd. Can you tell me what you think of my


    n?” Tai Bai Yun Sheng chuckled as he transmitted his voice to Fang Yuan.


    On the tform, Qin Bai Sheng shouted again: “Forty-five immortal essence stones, going twice.”


    Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and replied to Tai Bai Yun Sheng: “Sky flowers indeed grow on


    clouds, and floating sparrowhawks often are the host for cloud path Gu worms. Old Bai, are you


    thinking of cultivating both time path and cloud path?”


    “Yes. My time path abilities are specialized in healing, if I can add in cloud path, it can make up for the


    other shorings.” Tai Bai Yun Sheng said without reservation.


    He was originally skilled with cloud path in movement ability, his attainment reaching flying master


    realm using it. Later, he had dealings with Northern ins’ Inkman King, Mo Tan Sang, who sold him


    the killer move nine cloud ring for a low price, this deepened Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s interest in cloud path.


    Fang Yuan did not feel this choice was abrupt.


    At this moment, Qin Bai Sheng shouted for the third time: “Forty-five immortal essence stones for over


    one thousand three hundred square kilometres of sky chief clouds, going thri…”


    “Hold on, fifty-five immortal essence stones.” The bid was just about to be decided, when suddenly a


    Gu Immortal spoke up.


    His voice came from the seventeenth single room.


    “Eh.” Tai Bai Yun Sheng had not expected such a change as he hurriedly made a bid, “Sixty immortal


    essence stones.”


    This price finally dispelled any thoughts of buying from everyone present, allowing Tai Bai Yun Sheng


    to get his wish.


    “The second item for auction is a group of rare ck spirit antelopes. The beast group’s size reaches


    three hundred and twenty thousand, and has five beast emperors. The lowest price is ten immortal


    essence stones, every bid should be at least four immortal essence stones higher. The price can be


    lowered if you use vertical rainbow ointment to trade.” Qin Bai Sheng announced.


    ck spirit antelopes were already hard to find in Northern ins, this beast group’s size was sorge,


    it should have been reared in some Gu Immortal’s immortal aperture. The Gu worms residing in ck


    spirit antelopes were mainly soul path Gu worms, thus this especially attracted the attention of soul


    path Gu Immortals.


    The Gu Immortal putting this group of ck spirit antelopes up for sale required a Gu refinement


    material, vertical rainbow ointment. Thus the bidding could be done using immortal essence stones or


    vertical rainbow ointment.


    A round of bidding passed, and this ck spirit antelope group was purchased by a Gu Immortal for


    twenty-eight immortal essence stones.


    “The third item is a set of Gu recipes that came from the Medieval Antiquity Era, its name is inch of


    time. It contains all the recipes from rank one to rank five, and the crucial point is that these Gu recipes


    have already been improved. All of the refinement materials can be foundmonly. The lowest price


    is twenty-two immortal essence stones and you can also use the deste beast, six headed snake’s


    skin to reduce the price.” Qin Bai Sheng announced.


    “Twenty-three immortal essence stones.”


    “Isn’t it disgraceful to add only one immortal essence stone? Thirty immortal essence stones!”


    “I bid thirty-two.”


    This time, there were clearly more Gu Immortals bidding than the previous two times.


    Inch of time was a time path Gu worm which could not be used on humans but could be used on other


    targets, and was extensively used in Gu refinement. For instance, if a Gu worm required three days


    and three nights to be refined, and the inch of time Gu was used, it would quickly reach the state that


    required three days and three nights of time, by elerating the growth and transformation of the Gu


    worm. And the amount of time the Gu Master would have to spend probably would only be few short


    moments.


    Fang Yuan had obtained the Gu recipe for the Olden Antiquity Era’s group strength Gu, the market


    price of which was only two immortal essence stones. Inch of time was only a Gu recipe from the


    Medieval Antiquity Era, but it was aplete set, from the rank one Gu, one inch of time, to the rank


    five Gu, five inches of time.


    The most important point was that this Gu recipe had already been improved by the Gu Immortal! All


    the Gu refinement materials required also conformed to the present situation and were not difficult to


    obtain. It was not like the original Gu recipe, in which many refinement materials would be extremely


    scarce, expensive or extinct.


    This point determined the explosive increase in the price, reaching the base price of twenty-two


    immortal essence stones. Soon, the bidding reached forty-eight immortal essence stones.


    Tai Bai Yun Sheng also made his bid at this time: “Fifty-eight immortal essence stones.”


    He increased the price by ten immortal essence stones at once, attempting to scare off the


    competitors.


    Tai Bai Yun Sheng was rich, even more so than Fang Yuan.


    He had Landscape as Before and Man as Before, two great time path healing Immortal Gu, and


    therefore was very much sought after in Eastern Sea. Especially in the exploration of Yu Lu blessed


    land, they might have failed, but he had used Man as Before to save a Gu Immortal. This Gu Immortal


    gave him a hundred or so immortal essence stones as remuneration, and also said he owed Tai Bai


    Yun Sheng a favor which he would pay in the future.


    Most crucially, Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s blessednd was healthy and produced green grape immortal


    essence at every fixed interval of time. His green grape immortal essence was umting day by


    day, to the extent that he could not use them all up.


    His Tai Bai blessednd’s time flow was thirty-three times faster than the outside world, nearly the


    same as Hei Lou Lan’s super grade blessednd.


    This was because his was a high grade blessednd and he was also a time path Gu Immortal. Thus,


    in the aspect of time path resources, it was rather outstanding.


    One day in the outside world would be a month in Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s blessednd. In theory, blessed


    lands would produce green grape immortal essence every month. In the same given time for the


    outside world, the amount of green grape immortal essence Tai Bai Yun Sheng obtained was several


    times or even ten times higher than ordinary rank six Gu Immortals!


    On the contrary, Fang Yuan might have guts Gu business, but he had to handle all sorts of expenses,


    especially the constant converting of immortal essence stones to green grape immortal essence.


    His immortal aperture was dead and could no longer produce immortal essence, moreover it would


    crumble and shrink every set interval of time, which was an extremelyrge setback to him.


    Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s bid indeed scared off most of thepeting Gu Immortals. But there was still


    some who persisted.


    As the bid increased with two additional offers, the price had slowly risen to sixty-six immortal essence


    stones.


    “Sixty-six immortal essence stones to purchase a set of mortal Gu recipes!” Some of the low-level Gu


    Immortals in the main hall were tongue-tied.


    “It can’t be considered expensive. Inch of time cannot be used on oneself, but it can be used to save


    time and has wide range of applications like reducing the duration of Gu refinement. If you consider it in


    the long-term, especially for those Gu Immortals who also cultivate refinement path, they can use inch


    of time to slowly umte savings worth sixty-six immortal essence stones.” A Gu Immortal calmly


    analyzed.


    “This price is already at the peak. It would be unwise to raise the price further. Unless you have a


    special requirement for it.” Another Gu Immortal added his analysis.


    “Sixty-six immortal essence stones, going once.” Qin Bai Sheng started to close the bids.


    At this moment, Fang Yuan transmitted his voice to Tai Bai Yun Sheng: “Old Bai, let’s split the immortal


    essence stones and make the bid together?”


    Tai Bai Yun Sheng was happy: “Junior brother, you also have the intent to get it, that is good.”


    He thus raised the price directly to sixty-eight. Only one other Gu Immortal continued to bid, adding one


    immortal essence stone.


    Finally, Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng paid an expensive price of seventy immortal essence stones


    to finish the purchase of Inch of Time.


    Time passed by, one after another, treasures continued to be auctioned off.


    Thepetition in the main hall was getting more fierce and the atmosphere had also turned fiery.


    Many Gu Immortals lost their bearings and started arguing. Although they had sense and calmness,


    withrge profits in front, they could not help being flushed with agitation.


    After dozens of items were auctioned off, some low leveled Gu Immortals already became powerless to


    continue fighting, some were perspiring, some were pale, while many were exhausted.


    The bidding did not onlypare wealth but also involved psychological battles.


    Gradually, rank six Gu Immortal bidders became sparser.


    Rank six Gu Immortals usually had several hundreds of immortal essence stones of savings, while rank


    seven would have several thousands or over ten thousand directly in their hands. At rank eight, having


    several tens of thousands avable was a certainty. And those who had umted over the years


    would have hundreds of thousands of immortal essence stones in hand.


    The stronger the cultivation, the more resources they owned. Ordinary rank sixes had too weak of a


    foundation, fortunately, they could lower the price with other goods, otherwise most of them would have


    already beenpletely out of the game.


    Fang Yuan also only had few hundred immortal essence stones. He had made bids, but there were


    very few sesses while most failed, and he was still waiting patiently for the main show.


    Finally, he heard Qin Bai Sheng announce: “Next, we shall begin the auction of Immortal Gu.”


    “The most important part is here!” Fang Yuan’s eyes brightened.


    Not only him, other Gu Immortals were also invigorated.


    The previous auction could only be considered the prelude, the true event had just taken stage!
