Chapter 22 - Chapter 22: Start of an Auction

Sword cultivators lives for their sword, Alchemists lives for their cauldron and Geomancers lives for their Rune Compass.

Geomancers are masters of fengshui. It can be said that they are a branch of the Formation Masters.

Geomancers are important in manipulating the natural flow of energy in order to look for spiritual veins, hidden treasures, assisting in formation design and sometimes even optimising cultivation ground.

In order to make their job easier, most Geomancers relies on their Rune Compass to help them.

With a Rune Compass, Geomancers can easily sensed any disturbance in the spiritual Qi in their surroundings. Some higher grade Rune Compass can even be used to sensed distortion in time and space.

The Ancestral Truth Pupils of the Truth clan gave the ability to sense and sees the truth of all creation. Laws, lies, karma, future and even fate and reincarnation itself.

As for the Primordial Truth Pupils, these pair of pupils are on their own level, capable to see through the truth of creation even easier compared to the Ancestral Truth Pupils.

A billion of Ancestral Truth Pupils will not be a match for just one Primordial Truth Pupils.

With his Primordial Truth Pupils, he can easily navigate the Spiritual Realm without the need for a Rune Compass. Why should he when his pupils can easily let him peers the flow of spiritual energy in the surroundings and even sensing the fate and karma of the world.

As for a Spiritual Realm, it will be many times easier.

"The discovery of the Spiritual Realm has long been discovered by those from the Four Great Forces and they will probably send their disciples to explore the Spiritual Realm a few days after the auction." Jun Yanfu explained, cutting Liu Yang from his thoughts, "You don't have to worry about being alone by then."

"I'm not afraid of being alone, I'm afraid that when I am in there, I will suffer from Qi deviation. After all, in this lifetime, I haven't made any exchange of yin and yang with anyone," Liu Yang said feeling somewhat aggrieved, "What if during the expedition, my Yang source suddenly lost control and I ended up penetrating someone's wife."

Jun Yanfu almost spit the tea he was drinking.

Penetrating someone's wife?

Is this brat crazy?

He heard that the Dragon Emperor was known for his lustful tendency. There have been many young ladies of nobles families who were ruined by him.

There were also rumours that he prefers older females.

Even worse, there have also been rumours that he preferred males over females!

"When that happens, I'm afraid I'll ended up ruining someone's poor family. Who knows, I might ended up forcefully taking a woman and her husband was forced to focused on his cultivation and completely forgetting his daughter."

"What if when her husband finally defeated me and get his wife back, her wife had already gave birth to my son? Will he raised the boy like his own? Then what about his daughter?"

"Will he just brush her off because of her infe-."

Liu Yang wasn't able to finish his words when Jun Yanfu suddenly stuffed his mouth with multiple pastries.

"Stop it. You are giving him ideas."

A servant suddenly lifted the curtain covering one of the walls to reveal a handsome young man. The young man is crouching on the floor with a notebook in his hand.

The young man is grinning wildly as he continues to write down notes.

"Escort him out. Be sure to be gentle, he is born of the GOAT level figure after all."

The two female servants nodded.

The two grabbed the man's shoulders respectively and lifted him up before dragging him out.

"No! Please! I need more ideas on how to make my protagonists suffer!" The man screamed as he was dragged out.

"Isn't that the famous author who wrote the 'Reincarnation of the Titleless Gre-." Once again, Jun Yanfu stuffed the boy's mouth with buns.

"He is," Jun Yanfu said sternly.

Liu Yang gulped down, before asking, "Why do you look like you hated him?"

"He wrote good stories, but he always makes the protagonists of his stories suffers just for fun and he loves to make the side characters got cucked."

Liu Yang chuckle "Got cucked. A cucked Devil."

At this, he broke down to a fit of laughter.

While all of this is happening, down below, the auction is already starting.

On the high platform, a beautiful woman in cheongsam walks out, with a few servants.

All the men immediately cheers.

Men loves beautiful women.

And this woman has a mature and seductive aura from the way she conduct herself down to the way she walks, making these men all the more excited.

The beautiful woman introduced herself, "Thank you to all the guests for being present today."

"It is a great pleasure and honour to have all of you present today for our auction event held by this branch of the Immortal Pavilion."

"To begin, I would like to take this moment to introduce the Headmanager to all branches of our Immortal Pavilion within this world, Grandmaster Jun Yanfu. We are delighted to have you here today with us for this wonderful occasion."

"Not to forget, sitting alongside him in the highest vip booth is the rising star of Alchemy and the youngest Alchemy Master in the history of our human race, Alchemy Master Gold Lotus."

The entire hall immediately fell into an uproar.

All those down below look up.

Even those in the VIP booths looked up to the highest floating booth in the air.

The auction hall and lavishly decorated arr separated into multiple sections.

On the ground, there are over hundreds of rows divided into three sections. The first sections are for those with connections, mostly those from nobles families. As for the second and third, they are all for those of lower backgrounds.

As for the VIPs, there is no need to talk about them.

On the corridor in the upper floors are multiple cubicle shaped room. The higher your status, the higher the cubical shaped room is.

The moment the event had started, each of these cubicle shaped room my had been detached from the wall, now floating in the air.

And the highest cubicle floating is the one Liu Yang and Jun Yanfu is currently in.

Cheers and clapping immediately erupted from the crowds.

Those in the VIP rooms had all stood up, cupping their fist in sign of respect.

Jun Yanfu had stood up, waving his hand at them.

His status is higher than them, even higher than their ancestors. Naturally, they won't care if he disrespected them.

Liu Yang on the other hand, shows not even a sign of respect to those below.

The boy had stood up, leaned his shoulder against the wall. One hand he held a bowl of peanuts and on the other hand is used to held a bun.

Jun Yanfu merely shook his head, already expecting this to happen.

Luckily, there is a small array before them, placed in order to prevent those below from seeing their faces.

The Dragon Emperor himself already has too many enemies. There is no need to add more enemies for him for the time being.

"Interesting, your blindfold actually has a small array that hide even your face." Jun Yanfu suddenly commented, having just realised the existence of the array.

Liu Yang swipes his fingers across his black blindfold. An intricate array glittering in a golden light flashes.

"Just a simple trick that I got from my mother's inheritance." The boy grinned.

"For the starter of our auction, our Immortal Pavilion present to all of you a stalk of Heaven's Grade herbs, the Freezing Flower with the starting bid at 3,000 mid grade spiritual stones."

As the two were discussing, the event had already started.

The entire hall erupted in an uproar once again.

"Freezing Flower! It's a Freezing Flower!"

"This herb can only be found in the freezing cold hemisphere of the Artic Continent located far away in the north."

"As expected of the Immortal Pavilion. My ancestor had once traveled to the Artic Continent a few thousand years ago when he was still young but had failed miserably. Even worse, his foundation was damaged and it had took him a few hundred years to heal his cultivation."

"Such a rare herb is actually being auctioned off."

"Maybe the person who had auctioned the herb had stolen the herb from a noble clan and was forced to auctioned it off."

"4,000 Mid Grade Spiritual stones!"

4,567 Mid Grade Spiritual Stones!"

4,770 Mid Grade Spiritual Stones!"

One by one, the cultivators starts bidding for the Freezing Flower.

It can't be helped.

A Freezing Flower is a Heaven's Grade Herbs, something that is already rare to come by.

Not to mention, it is a main ingredient to many higher grade herbs.

Not just those from the noble family, but also Alchemists had started bidding, wanting to get their hands on the herb.

"5,000 Mid Grade Spiritual Stones! 5,000 Earth Grade Spiritual Stones! Anyone who wants to fight with me for this Freezing Flower will have to answer the wrath of my Dark Moon Palace!" A disciple of the Dark Moon Palace suddenly shouted, silencing the cultivators.

A laughter suddenly erupted.

It was a disciple of the the Flaming Blade Sect

"5,000 Mid Grade Spiritual Stones? Pathetic! 8,000 Mid Grade Spiritual Stones!" The Core Disciple of the Flaming Blade Sect mocked.

"Jun Yuhao! Don't be arrogant!"

Liu Yang's eyes perked when he heard the name.

Jun Yuhao.

"I think I've heard that name before." Liu Yang mutters, "Hmm, probably someone not important."
