Chapter 769: Sorrow''


    500 million!


    As expected, someone quickly made a bid; and it was from a customer in the second-floor pavilion. However, he did use the restriction to alter his voice; and no one was able to find out about his information.


    600 million!


    Another pavilion on the second floor made the bid, and before his voice even fell silent, an aged voice from therge pavilion on the third floor echoed, One billion!


    Swish! Swish!


    Many people swept a look at the pavilion. When they saw that it was the third pavilion that the Nangong n was in, they were all shock as this was the first time the four major ns made a bid.


    After the Nangong n made their bid, there was silence as no one else dared to raise the price. There were still 500 hundred more Heaven Paintings, and there was no need for them to offend the Nangong n.


    Who knew?


    The second batch of 100 Heaven Paintings was simrly bid by the Lei n while the third batch was bid by the Huangfu n. All of them were sold for one billion celestial stones, causing Qian Wanguans mouth to twitch as his heart could feel the extreme pain.


    In the fourth batch, the Gu n of the 13 ns made their bid and immediately raised the bid to one billion celestial stones. Immediately after, no one else increased the price.


    During thest two hundred Heaven Paintings, thoserger ns didnt bother anymore. Even though the 13 ns were also making their bids, they too started topete. Otherwise, all the Heaven Paintings would be snatched by the 13 ns, and there would be nothing left for them.


    Just as Situ Yinian mentioned, the artist of the Heaven Paintings might be an Art Emperor. Since that artist could produce 600 Heaven Paintings, it meant that the artist already grasped the ability to condense the dao pattern into the painting. As soon as the artists painting skill improved and produce several high-standard Heaven Paintings, that artist would be titled as an Art Emperor.


    The prices were increasing rapidly, and on the fifth batch of painting, the final bid was made by the 13 ns Chen n who bought it for the sky-high price of three billion. As for the final 100 Heaven Paintings, the price was further increased to five billion.


    Such a huge loss, huge loss. Boss, I have let you down


    Qian Wanguan was scowling miserably and howling at Jiang Yi. Thetter smacked Qian Wanguans head andughed with a little annoyance. Fool, what huge loss? If the prices are higher now, our three paintings,ter on, will definitely sell for an even higher extravagant price!


    Thats true!


    Qian Wanguan was immediately cheerful while Feng Luan and the others had bright eyes. All of them were extremely excited. If such a standard of Heaven Paintings could be sold for such prices, what kind of price would the three paintings fetchter on? No one could imagine it.


    The final batch of Heaven Paintings was bought by a pavilion on the third floor, but they didnt seem to be from the 13 ns as Situ Yinian didnt announce their names. With the first segment of the auction ending, Situ Yinian went down for a rest, while a group of alluring women came on stage to perform a dance during the intermission.


    Twelve billion for 600 Heaven Paintings. Each painting was sold for an average of 20 million celestial stones. The Qu n just profited big time!


    Once Qian Wanguan calcted the profits, he felt pain once again. Jiang Yi didnt bother at all as he concentrated on listening to the voicesing in through the crystal ball. He grinned when he heard many discussions on who exactly was Yi Piaopiao.


    He believed the influential merchants from the East Imperial Continent were definitely in this auction. After all, with all the influential figures from the Gods Bestow Tribe in this ce, this auction was the best ce to earn a profit. There were plenty of rare treasures in the East Imperial Continent that couldnt be found in Gods Bestow Tribe. In fact he even suspected that the final batch of Heaven Paintings was actually bought by a huge merchant association from the East Imperial Continent. Otherwise, the price wouldnt be so high.


    After resting for 15 minutes, Situ Yinian came on-stage again, this timewith a different dress. The green long dress made her look exceptionally refreshing and had a drastic difference in atmosphere whenpared to her earlier dress.


    Alright, the second segment of the auction shall now begin. The first item is also a pseudo-divine artifact!


    Situ Yinian first statement caused a hugemotion in the hall. In the past, the auctions would only have two to three pseudo-divine artifacts at best. This time, the second pseudo-divine artifact had already appeared in the second segment of the auction. Most importantly, how many more cardinal treasures would there be in the third segment?


    Unimaginable


    When the 20th item appeared, the whole hall was red up, and Jiang Yi was even more certain that the merchants from the East Imperial Continent were participating in the auction. The item was three stalks of Sky Aromatic Herb, which was only inferior to the Destitute Dragon Grass and was also meant for cleansing the marrow and meridians.


    It was said that this item could only be found on the tallest Mt. East Imperial on the East Imperial Continent. Every year, only 100 stalks would be produced; and Mt. East Imperial was the She ns territory. How could any regr individual obtain such a treasure?


    The three stalks of Sky Aromatic Herb were sold for the drastic prices of eight billion, nine billion, and eight and a half billion. They were bought by the Lei n, the Huangfu n, and the Nangong n respectively. The rest of the 13 ns had alsopeted during the auction. Although the herb was far inferior to the Destitute Dragon Grass, it was too rare; and the 13 ns didnt have ack of wealth. They naturally wanted to bid it for their descendants to use and reform their bodies.


    With the price of nine billion appearing, would ten billion be far away?


    Everyone was having high expectations. Jiang Yi didnt have any interest in the Sky Aromatic Herbs; neither did he have the celestial stones to bid for them. He was paying attention to Big Sister Bell and Huangfu Taotian. Big Sister Bell didnt speak since the beginning of the auction while Huangfu Taotian merely lifted his head to take a nce at the Sky Aromatic Herb before closing his eyes to rest. It seemed as though he had simplye inside here to take a nap.


    That demon race princess didnt speak as well. She was merely curious about the humans treasures and didnt have any desire to purchase them. Of course, it was possible that she found it embarrassing to make a bid as it would seem like she was taking advantage of others, as many ns would take the initiative to pay the celestial stones for her. This would also mean that she would owe others a favor, and someone of such esteemed status would never want to owe someone else a favor.


    As the items were sold one after the other, Qian Wanguan, Feng Luan, and the others were getting nervous. The second segment of the auction was about to end, and Situ Hong had mentioned that the three paintings were going to be used at the finale of the auctions second segment.


    Alright!


    After an ancient seal had been auctioned, Situ Yinian let out a big smile and said, The second segment of the auction hase to an end. Now its time for the finale auction item!


    The crowd was absolutely silent. The Heaven Paintings in the first segment had been sold for 12 billion celestial stones. How much would the finale item of the second segment be sold for?


    Three female attendants walked onto the stage while carrying three wooden zen boxes. When Qian Wanguan saw the boxes he immediatelyughed loudly. Boss, it is those three paintings. The Situ ns reputation isnt bad; they really auctioned them as the finale items.


    Jiang Yis eyes lit up like stars. These three paintings didnt merely represent celestial stones; he had hoped that the name Yi Piaopiao would be made known to the entire Stersky Domain. It would allow his mother to know how he missed her.


    With a wave of Situ Yinians hand, one of the female attendants brought the first painting forward and opened up the wooden zen box. She then carefully took out a painting which was framed and covered by a red cloth. The female attendant then gently tugged on the red cloth to reveal the painting to everyone.


    This was the painting Sorrow which was Jiang Bieli lifting a token with a single hand and rushing towards the giant palm print in the sky without second thoughts. This character painting was very lifelike as the unswerving determination in Jiang Bielis eyes and his resolute expression was vividly painted.


    Another Heaven Painting?


    Yi Piaopiao? A character painting? This painting can be used as the finale item of the second segment? How much celestial stones could a painting be worth?


    Something isnt right this painting isnt like the earlier Volcano Eruption in the Sea painting. It seems like it is suffocating the heart


    Thats right. I have a feeling when I see this painting, an indescribable feeling of wanting to cry


    There was a mor at the bottom as many of the people were expressing doubts, but they gradually turned silent. The entire auction hall was in silence as they were all locking their eyes onto the painting. Many of them felt their hearts were touched and were immersed in this indescribable sorrow.


    Thats right! This is Sorrow. This is a mystical painting, and the artist is also Yi Piaopiao. This painting has a magical ability that could cause people to automatically sink into sorrow. Yinian has observed this painting multiple times, and every time, tears would stream down her face. Yinian isnt someone who understands paintings, but she thinks if a simple painting could bring tears and sorrow to someone, it is a divine painting. Now we shall begin the auction of this painting. The base price is one billion, and every increase shall be no less than 100 million!


    Situ Yinians voice wasnt able to maintain the steadiness this time as it was slightly trembling and softer. Her sobbing-like voice had made the entire hall even quieter as no one made a single sound for at least ten breaths of time.


    Eh no one is making a bid? Damn it, why did the Situ n set such a high price? If not one is going to buy it, wouldnt it be fraudulent?


    Qian Wanguan didnt pay attention to the painting, and he got anxious when he saw that no one was making a bid after such a long time. He stood up and was prepared to go negotiate with the Situ n to bring the base price lower.


    Yet!


    At the moment Qian Wanguan stood up, an imperious shout came from the no.1 pavilion of the third floor, Ten billion!
