The attendants of the Royal Balcony Room number 03 were under illusion while the rest were busy tending to Ryuu, except Antariskh who was bidding in order to buy the stone.
Shamiran was busy massaging Ryuu's hands which had fallen cold all of a sudden, his body was alternating between hot and cold, the maids were busy trying to keep Ryuu still as his body spasmed with another shock induced seizures as Sylvana drew various Arrays on him.
Antariskh was getting irritated as the bid was progressing, but not only was it slow the people have not stopped bidding even after it crossed 900 High Grade Spirit stone mark.
Antariskh: "50 Peak Grade Spirit stone.", she finished her bid her voice filled with annoyance, she was getting irritated by people trying to outbid her so she bid a huge amount at once.
The hall was completely silent by it, but then the Royal Balcony Number 06 the resident tyrant of the city 'Mad Dog' grinned widely as he quickly tried to increase the bid, "100 High Grade Spirit Stone."
Antariskh gritted her teeth at that she had half a mind to blast all to oblivion but before he could react Ryuu's condition improved greatly under everyone's care as he became normal, he opened his eyes and spoke in a hoarse voice, "Water."
Biskha quickly held a glass of water as she helped him to drink it.
As he sat up he was hugged by his elder sisters, "Ryuu are alright now?", asked Shamiran with great concern.
Ryuu nodded his head as he saw his eldest sister was engaged in a bidding war against 'Mad Dog' for the possession of the stone.
Ryuu watched with wide eye as his sister was spending so much for him as such he could not help but speak, "Big Sister please stop, you do not have to spend so much for me."
Antariskh just smiled back she cupped his chins gently as she replied, "Little brother you are my family and someone who I cherish and love for you I am willing to even wipe out this entire world let alone pay some measly few spirit stones."
Ryuu was touched by such an act spoke, "Big Sister thank you for caring so much for me, but that fellow is increasing the price of the stone just for fun, I do not want you to spend so unnecessarily for me."
Antariskh gently caressed her brother's cheek as she replied, "Nonsense brother for you I am willing to buy this entire planet but you do have a point, we need to teach him some manners."
Antariskh turned her eyes towards the stone as she spoke, "This kind of bidding is known as shill bidding, the person does not want to buy he/she increases the price of the item just to cause inconvenience to others as such I am teaching you a way to deal with them."
Yazhu: "Item Number 52, 990 Peak Once, 990 Peak Twice, 990 Peak Thrice, the item is should to Royal Balcony number 06."
Mad Dog: "Hahaha, oi woman did you run dry or what."
A small soft laughter like a spring breeze was heard, " KI Gathering of Array of Peak Wanxiang Adept Rank costs 30 Peak Grade Spirit Stones, it is even useful for people of Primal Daoist realm but you bought an inferior knock off with thirty times the price congratulations, you really are amazing."
At that Mad Dog was bought back to reality from the imaginary high heavens he was residing was send slammed down to the planet hard '990 High Spirit Stones was no laughing matter.
Antariskh: "Shamiran you know what to do."
To which Shamiran just smirked as she nodded, making Ryuu confused they let the stone be bought by the idiot but now what are the planning, soon a crazy idea appeared in his head as he let out a small smile he just have to stand and watch from the sidelines and see if his guess was correct.
Lang Yuzhu: "I thank you all for participating on today's auction and I wpuld congratulate those who have bought today and to those who missed out today well I would wish you better luck next time."
She gave a short bow, but her dress caused her cleavage to be more pronounced and as she stood up her twins jiggled causing all the males to be entranced by them only to be slapped in the head by their female companion to which Ryuu giggled finding it funny.
Ryuu: "Big Sister why did I react to that stone so much."
Sylvana: "Brother that is not a stone but a container for something good for you, we will tell you more but first let us retrieve you possession intact."
Ryuu nodded a that, meanwhile 'Mad Dog' was really mad at the outcome he gave a roar as he used his nearest companion as his punching bag for his frustration, dropping the half dead man he took a deep breath as he ordered th attendants who were curled up at the corner of the room shaking with fear, they froze as 'Mad Dog' Yang Chao ordered them, "You useless harlots go and get my belongings and the receipt for payment."
Another man was by his side watching the events fold as he shook his head, "Friend I have a proposition for you."
Yang Chao snarled as he spoke, "What do you want Dugu Cheng?"
Dugu Cheng then elaborated his plan causing the 'Mad Dog' to smile as he bellowed out, "Oi you fake Alchemist Ryuu, instead of hiding behind your sister's skirt why don't you step and confess to your sins a puny child like concocting a Wanxinag Adept medicine who did you rob while your sisters were bending their back to distract them."
Lang Yuzhu was leaving the stage when she heard the challenge, she sighed as she rubbed her forehead, what she feared was coming to pass, now if the kid refused or turned to be phony their reputation will be ruined.
Ryuu was incensed as he glanced at his sisters he noticed they were too, he turned towards the attendants who were now out of their illusion as he ordered, "You three will go to the manger and inform him….."
Yang Chao spoke with barely hidden glee, "What is wrong thief have you ...."
The hall which had once been filled with sneers and jeering turned into complete and utter silence, in front of them stood a child a red headed child with heterochromatic eyes who looked to be about twelve dressed in sky blue color changsun with intricate patterns drawn in golden color with matching golden color shoes, he gave a kind smile towards the audience the audience went into a bit of frenzy even Lang Yazhu blushed upon seeing him before controlling herself with tremendous will power, then all went silent as he spoke which to their eyes it seemed to be angelic, "Hello everyone my name is Ryuu, I am almost twelve years old and as for my cultivation level", a immense pressure erupted making many of them who were planning to kidnap him and make him theirs to tremble with fear even Yazhu was astonished as she watched with wide eyes, "Yes as you have deduced I am Peak Wanxiang Adept, now you who have been barking too much and irritating me come down and face me in a showoff between Alchemists, or you are too scared to step forward, do not worry I am a good boy as such if you behave like a good doggy I might throw you some leftover bones."
Yang Chao was so angry his face turned purple as he almost breathed out fire.
Dugu Cheng stepped up, "I do not know what parlor trick you are using but child as a person who is righteous cultivator I Dugu Cheng will expose you."
Ryuu glanced at him as his brow twitched and he had a sudden urge to bash his head over and over again, as he lamented and swore inwardly, ' whoever you are I will find and then kill you slowly how dare you have cursed me to always stumble upon people from 'Idiot Inc.'', as he glared at the bald man with white mile long beard
