Chapter 308: Sell the Magic Shield Skill Book First

If the potential buyers of the skill books were not limited to the players in Fang Qi’s shop, then the items were put on auction just for fun.

Of course, there might be another reason. The special and heated atmosphere of the auction house and the urging of the auctioneers might get the same group of buyers to offer higher prices than otherwise.

Fang Qi had come to the auction to experience the event and to see if there were things he needed such as Bone of a Master, Deep Ocean Black Iron, and Spiritual Marrow. He had gotten the Dragon Bone from Huangpu Tao, but the others…

If he were lucky enough to run into these things, he would certainly buy them. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to hold the event, Battle of Sand City, even after the players had reached level 40 or 50. He wouldn’t be a qualified shop owner if that happened.

After all, this was his job.

After walking through the antique-looking wooden corridor into the interior, he found that the auction hall wasn’t big but was exquisitely decorated.

The guests were either masters of big forces or powerful cultivators with great backgrounds. Under the pale golden light, exquisite spiritual fruits and snacks were placed on the tables.

Fang Qi even saw some familiar faces in the auction hall, such as Liu Ningyun who had been absent from the internet café recently.

“Ugh? Senior Brother Duan!” In a nearby seat, a chubby cultivator yelled, “Look! Isn’t he the guy who asked us for directions while standing on a sword?”

“It is him?!” Duan Lan coldly glanced at Fang Qi, who was exchanging greetings with acquaintances and recognized that Mr. Fang was the person who had stolen his thunder last time!

Before he could say anything, he heard chatters beside him.

“Wow! Junior Sisters! Look! Isn’t he the guy who flew past us on a sword?”

“So powerful! I wonder what faction that technique belongs to!”

“One man one sword, flying across the sky! It was so dashing!”

“Senior Sister Ye! Come and look! Over there!”

With veins bulging on his forehead, Duan Lan slammed his liquor cup on the table as his lips twitched. “I couldn’t find him when I tried, but I now ran into him when I wasn’t looking!”

“Stop yelling! Where are your manners?!” A grey-robed, middle-aged cultivator gave them a hard look.

“Ugh… we are sorry.” The girls immediately shut up.

Then, the grey-clothed cultivator stroked his beard and said, “I heard that a cultivator who flew on a sword once turned Black Dragon City upside-down and defeated the Nanhua Heavenly Fairy with a sword technique named the Godly Sword Lightning-Controlling True Spell. Its power is as great as our Haoran Faction’s Heaven-Conforming Grand Sword. I wonder if the rumor is true.”

“Father, the Nanhua Faction’s Nanhua Heavenly Light is an ultimate technique in the world, and its power is almost the same as that of our Heaven-Conforming Grand Sword,” a boy who was about 12-years-old reminded him, “If the Godly Sword Lightning-Controlling True Spell could defeat Senior Sister Liu, then it must be more powerful than our Heaven-Conforming Grand Sword; how can it be on par with…”

The grey-clothed cultivator’s face twitched, and he was at a loss for words.

Around him, the disciples exclaimed, “So young and so powerful…”

“He’s awesome!”

“I wonder which faction he comes from…”

“…”

Sitting at the table next to Haoran Faction was a cold-eyed young Daoist who was wearing a black-and-white Daoist robe.

“Elder Senior Brother, is that guy the mysterious cultivator who defeated Fairy Liu? He looks ordinary…”

“It’s said that he even named Fairy Liu as the No.1 Cultivator of the younger generation. He’s so arrogant!”

“…”

“Achoo!” Mr. Fang who had been chatting with Huangpu Tao sneezed. “How come I feel like everyone’s watching me?”

“Today, people are here to attend the auction; who would check you out, Guild President?” Ruan Ning and the other girls obviously didn’t know about Mr. Fang’s reputation in the Morning Star Sea Realm outside Half City, and they looked at him in disdain.

Ruan Ning whispered, “Even if people are watching you, they must have come here to get revenge.”

“I heard that Guild President even bullied Sister Liu…” Su Zhi gossiped in a low voice.

“He’s so much older than her! How could he bully someone that much younger than himself!”

“Damn it…” Mr. Fang had the urge to commit some violent act. “Can’t you keep your voices low?! By the way, do I look that old?”

We are all young people!

“The auction begins now!” Beside them, Mo Tianxing was feeling sympathetic toward Fang Qi. “I think Guild President is less than 200 years old; he’s not too old…”

“Forget it…” Mr. Fang was a bit desperate while he thought, I’m young! Why can’t you believe me?

“Let’s watch the auction! Watch the auction!” Mr. Fang didn’t want to explain anymore.

Under the illumination of the lights, they saw that the auctioneer was a woman who was wearing a silverfish-white long dress.

“A foreigner?” Fang Qi was surprised, but he saw that her oval face and arched eyebrows were oriental. However, her slightly curly brown hair and green, ocean-like eyes gave her an exotic aura.

With her snow-white skin, she looked elegant, charming, and mature, as if she had all the best feminine features. Her silverfish-white tight-fitting long dress accentuated her curvy figure that was perfect from all angles, heating the blood of young men like Mr. Fang.

She opened her small mouth and revealed two pointy canine teeth, which looked charming and cute. “Everyone, welcome to the auction in our Heaven-Hiding Pavilion.”

“You’re still staring at her!” A pair of hands waved before Mr. Fang’s eyes, blocking his sight. “Your eyeballs are going to pop out.”

“I was thinking about her race!” Fang Qi rolled his eyes at Ruan Ning. “I heard that devils and demons could walk in Half City during day time. She is too perfect; is she a devil?”

The room suddenly fell silent in a weird way, and the quietness was strange.

Even the grey-clothed cultivator of the Haoran Faction and the Xichi Spiritual Master of the Nanhua Faction had traces of dislike and indignation on their faces.

“Now, I’m going to introduce the first item.” A silver-robed old man presented that beautiful woman a transparent bead. It seemed like this bead contained many twisted human faces. “Corpse Soul Bead…”

Fang Qi didn’t even spare a glance at such a thing, and the disciples of the big factions in the Morning Star Sea Realm showed nothing but dislike and disapproval in their eyes. Only the cultivators of unorthodox factions with gloomy auras would bid for such an item. The process continued until the fifth item.

“The following treasure that we are going to auction is a bit special.” The woman waved her hand, and an image of a book with a yellow cover appeared before the audience.

“Magic Shield is a very powerful defensive spiritual spell. It’s said that True Lake Realm cultivators can block the full-force attacks of Divine Ocean Realm cultivators. After our Executive Jin Wu’s personal testing, this spell’s power is true. The starting price for it is 5,000 crystals.”

“What?!”

“There’s such a defensive spiritual spell in the world?!”

“How long is the casting time?”

“How effective is it for Divine Ocean Realm cultivators?”

“How long does it take to master this spell?!”

Not only the unorthodox cultivators who had bid for the items such as Corpse Soul Bead, but many cultivators of the big forces turned their attention to the skill book as well.

The Xichi Spiritual Master said in surprise, “There’s such a spiritual spell in the world? The Heaven-Hiding Pavilion is full of wonders… If the price is good, I think our Nanhua Faction can buy it.”

Mo Xian, who had been sipping tea, almost spat it out on someone’s face. “Magic Shield?!”

Wasn’t it one of the items the monsters dropped while they attacked the cities?! Why didn’t I play the game?! The girl sitting next to me had picked up such a book!

Even Liu Ningyun, who was sitting next to Mo Xian, looked astonished. Last time I saw it, it was only going for 2,000. But now, the starting price is as high as 5,000?!
