System's Super Sect-Chapter 460 - 458, The auction begins.
However, she would not seek out that person.
The Dragon God Sect, and as the Divine Lady of the Dragon God Sect, she would not lower herself to do such a thing, or else wouldn’t she be as humble and laughable as these phony four-star forces’ old geezers?
Of course, there are always exceptions. To ask the "Dragon" to visit the "Snake" personally, would be unless that Vortex Divine Artisan’s work at tonight’s auction is impressive enough to make her feel amazed and capable of becoming a Three-Spin Vortex Divine Artisan.
One must know, there is no shortage of geniuses in this world, and every few years a Vortex Divine Artisan appears that surprises people, but ultimately, they only stop at Two Vortexes. The path of Three Vortexes is much harder than cultivating the Meridian Gate.
Otherwise, there would not be only a handful of Three-Spin Vortex Divine Artisans in the entire Heaven and Earth Lake; otherwise, she, a Divine Lady of the Dragon God Sect, would not have been unable to get a Three-Spin Vortex Map on her third Meridian Gate until now.
At this moment, when she stepped out of the private room, people from those phony four-star forces turned their gazes toward her.
The Divine Lady was wearing ordinary clothes.
Of course, by ordinary, it means clothing without an insignia of a force.
As she took a step, a beautiful long slender white jade-like leg was revealed under the golden long skirt, making it impossible for these people to look away. When they looked at her face, they relaxed and smiled.
A beautiful woman, even if not liked, can cheer people up by mere presence. Some of the Half-Step Mountain Suppression experts rose to approach and converse, but as they stood smilingly, their smiles froze.
"What are you looking at?" A middle-aged man following behind the Divine Lady shouted angrily, making the faces of the crowd turn pale.
Mountain Suppression Realm!
They were all too familiar with such an aura.
They initially thought she was from one of the phony four-star forces, never expecting her to be from a four-star influence, with a Mountain Suppression Realm expert following behind. Even a fool could understand that these people must have significant backgrounds.
"Sorry."
The Half-Step Mountain Suppression experts who had risen all smiled awkwardly and obediently sat back down in their chairs.
The feeling they exuded was akin to a quail.
After the Divine Lady of the Dragon God Sect left, once the entourage was out of sight and unable to perceive, they dared to resume half-joking conversations.
Clan Leader Mo stroked his beard in thought for a moment, unable to resist sighing, "I didn’t expect it would really alarm a four-star influence. Judging from this stance, it’s not the kind of freshly risen four-star influence that came."
Someone hurriedly agreed.
"A golden long dress... it seems no force around any lake wears it."
With his words, everyone started to ponder deeply.
But Bai Ruchang, at this moment, saw the situation most plainly and boldly stated, "Who cares which force she is from? You only need to know that this time the Vortex Map is hard to buy. With the interference of a four-star influence, are we still thinking of buying?"
"Right!"
"Four-star influences all possess White Crystal Ores and lack no White Crystals. This time, the three Vortex Maps will likely be entirely wrapped up."
"Damn it, we were just spreading fake news to scare the late-coming forces, to let them know there’s no point in coming, never expecting people from a four-star influence would actually show up."
Everyone chimed in one after another, smiling bitterly all the while.
However, Bai Ruchang’s expression was different, with a hint of schadenfreude, saying, "Don’t worry... the cart will find a path as it reaches the mountain. Let’s head to the auction house and take a look later."
Everyone nodded, losing the inclination to continue sitting and chatting while waiting for nightfall.
They all thought about going early and trying to gather some more White Crystals to deal with the evening’s auction.
...
Back to Wen Ping.
After nightfall, together with Cang Lan of the Sea of Clouds, he arrived at the auction house, and due to their status, they entered through the auction house’s side door. Wen Ping naturally didn’t mind, as he just wanted to make money quietly.
Entering grandly through the front gate and having everyone’s eyes focused on him — what’s the point?
There was no mission that required it either.
His current task requires defeating the Mountain Suppression Realm.
Upon entering the auction room No. 1, Wen Ping looked down at the seats below while glancing at those rooms on the second floor. At a glance, the layout was completely different, those who could go to the second floor were only Half-Step Mountain Suppression level.
Each one was like the Deputy City Lord Lu Hai.
And people who could sit on the first floor must be above the Divine Profound Realm, typically holding Divine Profound Middle Realm and Divine Profound Upper Realm strength — perhaps the Mu Family auction house’s scale wasn’t as grand as those Level A auction houses in Cloud Sea City, but the attendees surely made history.
"Sect Leader Wen, how is it?" Mu Tian asked with a smile beside him, clearly satisfied with today, "Through the promotion by the Mu Family, only people from three-star giant level forces and those above Divine Profound Upper Realm could enter, ensuring everyone can bid."
Wen Ping nodded.
"Not bad."
"Then you rest for a while... I’ll get busy first." Mu Tian said very contentedly as he withdrew.
For him, the commission really didn’t matter anymore.
Gaining a compliment from Sect Leader Wen means a promising future ahead.
After all, having so many significant figures here today, making it Mu Family’s pinnacle night, is all thanks to Sect Leader Wen’s favor.
When Mu Tian left, Wen Ping continued to overlook below.
This time, his gaze focused on a woman who looked in her thirties, not because she was particularly beautiful, but because she sat on the first floor yet had a Mountain Suppression Realm expert by her side.
Inside himself, he was also at the Middle Realm of Mountain Suppression!
Others might not feel it, but he could because he possessed the Golden Divination Eye — a pair of miraculous eyes not only capable of spotting slips in Cultivation Techniques but also enhancing perception — all thanks to the Nirvana House.
"This time, I’ve struck it rich." Looking at her, Wen Ping felt as if seeing a pile of White Crystals and his upgraded Flying Ship.
Thus, Wen Ping once again sighed, Mu Tian’s promotion indeed was fantastic, even attracting a four-star influence, so entrusting future sales of the Vortex Maps to him is certainly the right decision.
After glancing a few more times, Wen Ping sat down.
Listening to items being sold for one hundred, two hundred, even up to four or five hundred White Crystals, time steadily flowed by. Not only was he waiting for the Vortex Maps to be auctioned, but most of the people there also were waiting.
"Next, let’s have the maid bring up the first One-Vortex Vortex Map." At this time, Mu Tian personally took the stage to host the auction and had a maid carry a Jade Plate slowly forward.
Everyone’s gaze immediately focused.
In the Mu Family’s promotion, it didn’t mention what special ability the Vortex Map had.
Thus, everyone was particularly anticipative.
Accessories.
Absolute Defense.
Wind Attribute.
What comes next?
"This One-Vortex Vortex Map, aside from providing the basic Vein Technique amplification, enhances your attack speed by ten percent. In other words, you can land a lot more blows when you hit your enemies. Of course, this ability is only effective for the Profound Realm... But it doesn’t affect its value, after all, this is the third Vortex Map in the world with a special ability!" The Wind Attribute, strictly speaking, isn’t considered a special ability.
Without giving everyone time to discuss, Mu Tian continued, "Starting price, 400 White Crystals, each bid increment must not be less than ten White Crystals!"
