The green wood was covered with moss, laying on the table atop the stage. Again, people were scanning it for any special features, or bribing their servants from Taibai. But it all came out the same ā this piece of green wood couldnāt be used. It couldnāt be refined, damaged or destroyed. Thereās nothing one can do with it. This prompted many people to give up. They have other things to buy. There were many precious things in the world and they were not always useful. They were much better off buying a damaged piece of xian class instrument.
However, Mochou looked at the piece of green wood and told Xuanyuan, āBuy it. I think itās interesting.ā
Xuanyuan was surprised, as well as Greed, āIt must be a spiritual being if Mochou finds it interesting. Buy it! The Body of A Thousand Spirits can detect great things!ā
āThe base price for this green wood isā¦ā Bai glanced at the box number thirty six and smiled.
āGirl, I dare you to make this more expensive. Iāll see who will buy it.ā Xuanyuan teased again.
In her mind, Bai was thinking that theyāve already earned quite a lot of money from the people bribing their servants. She shouldnāt set the price too high. After a while, she said,
āOf course not. Youāre such a powerful man, you wonāt mind a bit of money, thatās why I set the price higher. I wonāt do that again. The only thing about this wood is that itās incredibly tough. So its starting price is 5 million.ā
āYouāve scammed me, girl! Youāve made the price ten times more expensive?ā Xuanyuan kept pretending.
āThatās not fair. Metal overpowers wood. So that piece of iron is much more powerful than wood.ā Bai said softly.
āThatās just infuriating. Do I need to buy this again?. So Just to be clear, maybe Itās meant for me?ā
āThatās what you said. Itās not my opinion. But if you buy it, Iāll give you a gift. Iām sure your Ā disciple will like it.ā Bai smiled deeper.
āOh really?ā
āOf course!ā
āIf my disciple doesnāt like it, Iāll return the iron wood to you and youāll refund my money.ā Xuanyuan smiled.
āWell, thatās not right. Iām so much younger than you. Do you really want to bully a girl?ā Bai teared up again.
āThen I wonāt buy it. Damn it, girl, donāt bite meā¦ Alright! Iāll buy it.ā Xuanyuan pretended to be bitten by his ādiscipleā.
āLooks like you brought your disciples with you. How lucky they are!ā Bai said, āEveryone, youāre welcome to bid on the wood. Even though that gentleman is powerful, he wonāt mind a bit of fun!ā
āIf lady Bai said so, then 6 million!ā
ā7 million!ā
ā8 million!ā
ā9 million!ā
ā¦
ā36 million!ā
āI say, enough! I wonāt buy it for over 50 million. Iāll bid 40 million. Donāt you dare add on the price again!ā Xuanyuan yelled angrily. Everyone was quiet, but in fact they were all amused, since they made that old bully upset.
ā40 million the first time!ā
ā40 million the second time!ā
ā40 million the third time! This piece of mysterious divine wood belongs to the gentleman in the heaven class box number thirty six!ā Bai was happy, āThis is my gift to the gentlemanās disciple.ā
It was a doll.
āItās a Puppet Doll. In fact, itās a top class earth instrument. Your disciple only needs to release her Qi and she can control the doll with her mind. It can be used for entertainment, but itās just as effective to kill. This is a precious item given to us by an ancient puppeteer. It took me a great deal to find it. How about that? Does your disciple like it?ā Baiās voice echoed in his box.
āWow, this is so interesting!ā Mochou was able to control the doll with her mind immediately. The doll moved as smooth as a real person. Mochou was thoroughly delighted.
āPuppet! Iāve heard that the skills of puppeteering was lost a long time ago but Taibai was able to find it. Thatās impressive!ā
āBai was the person whoās capable. Sheās establishing ties with the old man. Heāll probably be a regular customer of Taibai from now on.ā
āThank you for your compliments, young lady. If you want something more interesting, ask your master to look for me. Iāll find you something even better.ā Bai giggled.
āReally? Thank you, lady Bai!ā Mochou replied.
āThe next item on the manifest is a piece of top rank heaven class weapon, the Fire Dragon Spearā¦ā
But Xuanyuan was not interested. He wanted to know if the wood he bought for 32 million was anything interesting.
āMochou, tell me. Whatās so special about this piece of wood?ā Xuanyuan asked.
She stopped playing with her doll and looked at the wood, āItās just interesting.ā
Xuanyuan rolled his eyes in annoyance. A black light only he could see shone on the wood. But it was reflected at once.
āThere must be something about this piece of wood. Thereās not much things that the Light of Devouring canāt penetrate.ā Greed also had no idea what this piece of wood was.
āXuanyuan, that piece of iron wood was thoroughly investigated by the Taibai. But we couldnāt find anything about it. Study it first. If you donāt want it, Iāll give you a refund.ā Bai said gently. She knew that Xuanyuan was in a playful mood so she didnāt stop him from buying the items. It was very sweet for her to offer buying it back.
āBai, itās not right. Itās like gambling. Thereās nothing I can do if they turn out to be useless. Itās alright.ā Xuanyuan said. He was quite touched by Baiās gesture.
āAlright. I knew youād say that. Letās see if thereās anything you like. The last piece is a xian class instrument. Stay until then. The auction will last for a few days.ā Bai said.
āI need a weapon. Iāll see if thereās anything suitable. If I find it, Iāll be ready to go.ā Xuanyuan said. Even though the Wind Spirit Spear was not damaged, it no longer suits him. That was the reason why Fung Lie gave it to him after he became an imperial fighter.
The auction went on. Xuanyuan was feeling a bit numb about money. The few hundreds of million was not enough to buy most of the things.
Another day passed and the auction hadnāt paused for one bit. Such a long time wouldnāt exhaust grandmasters. Staying up for two days is the same as blinking oneās eyes. Bai even mentioned that there once was an auction that lasted for ten days! Itās an auction that happened every decade after all. There were many things waiting to be sold.
āThe next item is a middle rank heaven class weapon! The Soul Catching Bow and Arrows. Thereās a spell to damage your enemies soul on it. It can inflict great harm. Twenty arrows are included. If you inject them with Qi, you can retrieve the arrow wherever you are. This piece could be improved to an upper rank heaven class instrument! Itās made byā¦..ā Bai introduced the new item. Even Xuanyuan was a bit moved. āThe starting price is 30 million!ā
