Chapter 95: Auction
Upon hearing the comments from the crowd, Mu Qianqian stopped in her tracks.
Turning around, Mu Qianqian glanced at Xiao Yixian and the others, her eyes flashing with a hint of amazement. The four beauties before her were not inferior to her in either appearance or temperament, making her feel a sense of competition.
She looked at Xiao Tian, who seemed closely connected to the four women, and a plan formed in her mind. Taking a few steps forward, Mu Qianqian smiled charmingly at Xiao Tian, her long eyelashes fluttering with endless allure. Her gaze could ignite a flame in any hot-blooded man.
Running a delicate hand over her red lips, she breathed out softly, "Young master, do you find me beautiful?"
In an instant, Xiao Tian felt a change in his body. However, his control over his body was far superior to most, and combined with his powerful soul, he quickly regained his composure. Looking at Mu Qianqian, he thought, "As expected of a natural enchantress, her every move can captivate people's hearts. Truly a born seductress!"
Mu Qianqian was somewhat surprised to see Xiao Tian recover so quickly. She giggled, "You've piqued my interest even more now."
Xiao Yixian stepped forward, holding Xiao Tian's arm, and scoffed, "Shameless! How dare you try to seduce someone else's man!"
"Seductress!" Qing Tan echoed, not very good at insults, but this was the harshest she could come up with.
"Young master is mine," Qing Lin declared, clutching Xiao Tian's other arm in defiance.
Only Zi Yan, the magical beast, was still somewhat ignorant, not understanding what the women were fighting over. This behavior made Lin Dong envious; no beautiful women had ever fought over him like this.
"Young master, you are truly fortunate!" Mu Qianqian gave Xiao Tian a deep look before turning to leave.
As she walked away, Xiao Yixian warned, "Xiao Tian, if you dare get involved with that woman, I'll never speak to you again."
"Yeah, we'll ignore you!" Qing Tan added sternly.
In their eyes, Mu Qianqian's actions were not those of a decent person, so she couldn't be a good woman.
"Alright, I understand. Let's take our seats," Xiao Tian replied with a wry smile, leading them to their seats.
"Ding!"
As the seats filled up, a crisp sound suddenly echoed through the auction hall. An elderly man with white hair and a cheerful expression walked onto the stage.
"I am Song Tie, you may call me Manager Song. On behalf of the Martial Alliance, I thank you all for attending," he said, bowing to the audience.
He picked up a bell from the table and rang it lightly. Instantly, several young and beautiful maidens entered, each carrying a silver tray.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our first item for auction is the Fire Cloud Spiritual Armor. Crafted by Master Jin of Great Puppet City, it is a peak-level low-grade spiritual treasure. Wearing this armor will certainly offer you extra protection," Manager Song announced.
"The starting bid is ten thousand Pure Yuan Pills!"
The room erupted into a frenzy.
"I bid eleven thousand!"
"Twelve thousand!"
"Fifteen thousand!"
Eventually, the price soared to twenty-one thousand. Xiao Tian participated in a few bids, purchasing some materials and soul-nourishing elixirs.
"Our next item is also a spiritual treasure, but it does not offer attack or defense. It is an auxiliary treasure," the elder said, uncovering a cushion from the tray. The cushion had intricate runes that exuded a peculiar power.
"After our evaluation, this cushion can calm the mind and nourish the spirit. Although it does not greatly aid Yuan Power cultivation, it is a fine item for Symbol Masters..."
Hearing this, most people lost interest since they were primarily warriors, not Symbol Masters. However, Xiao Tian, knowing its true value from the original story, became excited.
"This cushion contains the Qiankun Ancient Array, created by the Symbol Ancestor. It can condense and decompose various energies and, when combined with an array plate, ranks fifth among the heavenly artifacts, possessing immense power."
"The starting bid for the Spirit Nourishing Cushion is forty thousand Pure Yuan Pills!"
People began probing it with their soul power but couldn't detect anything due to its soul-blocking properties.
"Forty-one thousand Pure Yuan Pills," someone tentatively called out.
"Forty-two thousand!"
"Forty-five thousand!"
Soon, the price reached sixty thousand. The bidder was a handsome but cold-looking man.
"That's Hua Zong from the Yin Puppet Sect!"
"Forget it, since Hua Zong is bidding, we better not compete."
Seeing Hua Zong, most people stopped bidding. Not only did he belong to the powerful Yin Puppet Sect, but Hua Zong himself was formidable.
Hua Zong looked around with a smug expression. Just as he thought he had won, a voice called out.
"Sixty-one thousand Pure Yuan Pills!"
The hall was abuzz. No one expected someone to challenge Hua Zong.
"It's him!"
Recognizing Xiao Tian, many recalled his earlier entry with four beauties, which had drawn much attention.
Hua Zong's brows furrowed as he glanced at Xiao Tian, noticing the beautiful women around him. A flash of desire crossed his eyes.
With a smirk, he lazily said, "Seventy thousand Pure Yuan Pills!"
"Seventy-one thousand," Xiao Tian countered.
"Nine thousand!" Hua Zong declared.
"Nine thousand one," Xiao Tian responded.
"Very good!" Hua Zong's gaze turned cold as he sneered, "I'll remember you."
"That young man is doomed!"
"Offending Hua Zong, not only will the young man perish, but his beautiful companions might also suffer."
"Alas, rashness leads to disaster."
Everyone pitied Xiao Tian, convinced that he would meet his end at Hua Zong's hands. This was understandable; Xiao Tian was a newcomer, while Hua Zong was well-known.
