Road to Be the God

Chapter 28 The Auction Begins

As the manager of the Treasure Appraisal Hall of Treasure Trading Pavilion, the middle-aged man had evaluated countless treasures. Certainly, he also had dealt with the formation masters' works several times. Only by one glance, he recognized what Lin Tian offered was the specially made martial integrating formation pattern scrolls by the formation master. They were quite precious.

Lin Tian slightly nodded and answered, "Yes."

The middle-aged man was quite astonished. From the voice, this person in black turned out to be a young man?

"May I ask what the grade of the martial integrating formation pattern scroll is?"

The middle-aged man asked discreetly.

He was astonished that the man in the black cloak was young but his attitude was still very humble.

"Medium combat craft of body cultivation."

Lin Tian answered.

"You want to..."

"To have them auctioned. Three of them."

A voice sounded from under the cloak.

His reply astonished the middle-aged man slightly. It was not the first time that the middle-aged man dealt with the martial integrating formation pattern of the medium combat craft of body cultivation. However, he was asked to deal with three for the first time.

The middle-aged man rose slightly and said, "Could you please hold up here? Because your things are too precious and there are three of them, I need to request instruction from our deacon."

"No problem," Lin Tian said.

The middle-aged nodded continuously. After making a pot of tea for Lin Tian, he finally got out of the room in a hurry.

Lin Tian sat on the chair quietly. Now, he finally looked around the room and found it was quite magnificent. There were quite some other treasures in the room, which seemed to be evaluated.

Squeak!

Very quickly, the door of Treasure Appraisal Hall was pushed open. The middle-aged man returned with an old man in purple. The old man had grey hair and beard but his face was quite rosy. Most peculiarly, there was a strange motif embroidered over the chest of the old man. Below the motif, there were two gold bars, which looked quite weird.

"Hello, this is the Chief Deacon of Treasure Trading Pavilion, Lord Pu Shi. He is not only a martial artist of Divine Meridians Stage but also a powerful formation master."

The middle-aged man introduced the old man to Lin Tian.

Beneath the black robe, Lin Tian was slightly shocked. The old man was not only a martial artist of Divine Meridians Stage but also a formation master. What a terrifying man! On second thought, since there was such a man in Treasure Trading Pavilion, this place was really not simple indeed. In this case, maybe it was really true that Treasure Trading Pavilion was backed by a mysterious big family.

Pu Shi took a glance at Lin Tian wearing the black cloak with confusion. He had heard from the middle-aged man that a young man brought three martial integrating formation pattern scrolls of the medium combat craft of body cultivation for auction. This was quite astonishing to him. Generally, the formation master was above 30 years old.

Walking to the desk ahead, Pu Shi picked up a scroll.

After a few breaths, Pu Shi slightly nodded. This was the martial integrating formation pattern scroll of the medium combat craft of body cultivation.

"Can I open them?"

Pu Shi asked.

"Sure."

Lin Tian nodded.

Pu Shi unfolded one of the scrolls. Upon seeing the vividly imprinted formation pattern, he was surprised with his eyes glittering. Given his experience of being a formation master for many years, the formation pattern couldn't be imprinted by an ordinary formation master. The runes seemed to be done by a master who had imprinted the martial integrating formation pattern thousands of times!

With a deep breath, Pu Shi spread his right hand and put it above the formation pattern. As the faint twilight flickered, after a moment, Pu Shi slightly shivered. When he looked at Lin Tian, apparent surprise crossed his face, "Heroes are always youngsters. This is the most powerful medium martial integrating formation pattern of body cultivation I have ever seen in my life!"

"Lad, are you really going to have all of them auctioned?"

Pu Shi asked seriously.

The three martial integrating formation pattern scrolls were definitely no ordinary. They were highly valuable.

Lin Tian nodded, "Of course, can you arrange the auction as soon as possible for me? I have urgent things to do."

"Of course. An auction is being held now." Pu Shi's eyes glittered. If these three martial integrating formation pattern scrolls were successfully auctioned, Treasure Trading Pavilion could gain a high profit. He looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Take this young man to the VIP room and I will send the scrolls to the auction hall on my own!"

"Yes, Lord Pu Shi!" The middle-aged man nodded, moved sideways, reached out a hand and appeared more reverent. "Sir, this way please."

Lin Tian nodded and walked out.

In Treasure Appraisal Hall, Pu Shi stared at Lin Tian's back, his eyes glistening, "Judging from his voice, this young man is no older than 16 years old. A formation master at the age of 16 can be so capable, even better than me. Since when did such an unbelievable man emerge in Fengjian City?"

Pu Shi shook his head, put away the three martial integrating formation pattern scrolls discreetly and paced towards the auction hall.

...

Under the guidance of the middle-aged man, Lin Tian entered a wooden cabinet of the auction hall. The wooden cabinet was luxuriously and warmly furnished, which appeared rather cozy. The wooden cabinet was within the VIP area of the auction hall, which was only open to big potatoes. A wooden cabinet could only be used by one person.

It was quiet in the wooden cabinet. Being in the cabinet, one could get a whole view of the auction hall. The auction hall was very spacious, which was large enough to hold hundreds of people. Now, on the jade podium in the front of the auction hall, a woman in red, who looked fascinating, was introducing an object to the audience in a coquettish voice.

The woman was about 18 years old, dressed in red. Beneath her long neck, her breasts looked fair-complexioned, half-covered by her clothes. Her waist was slim with her long and well-proportioned legs exposed in the air, which displayed an irresistible temptation.

As the woman spoke, Lin Tian found that the object that shouldn't be that valuable was sold at an unbelievably high price.

"It seems that beauty works like magic everywhere."

Lin Tian muttered to himself.

Staring at the enchanting woman in the front of the auction hall, Lin Tian had to admit that she was quite a tempting beauty who showed her charm and lust to the fullest.

He also finally understood why so many people still would like to work with Treasure Trading Pavilion though Treasure Trading Pavilion asked for a 30% commission. With such a beauty presiding over the auction, the price of the treasures would surely be increased by the big potatoes again and again. In the end, a 30% commission was a bit exaggerated but in fact, the treasures' price was raised by a lot. The seller wouldn't suffer loss.

"Interesting."

Sitting in the wooden cabinet, Lin Tian watched quietly.

Half an hour passed quickly. Several more treasures were auctioned. Of course, they were sold at a good price. At the moment, in the front of the auction hall, with a coquettish and mysterious smile, the woman in red said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Treasure Appraisal Hall got three treasures just now. I think you must be intrigued."

The woman clapped her hands. Behind the curtain beside the jade podium, a receptionist walked out instantly, holding a wooden tray with both hands. Three scrolls were placed on the tray.

Seeing the scene, Lin Tian was astonished. Those were his things!

"Xing Yao, what are those things?"

Many people gave a puzzled look.

The woman in red was Xing Yao. She took a scroll from the wooden tray and smiled coquettishly, saying, "This is the medium martial integrating formation pattern scroll of body cultivation, made by a mysterious and powerful formation master. It has been evaluated and sent here by Lord Pu Shi, Chief Deacon of our auction hall. Now, I guess I don't need to say anything more."

Wow!

Xing Yao's words just caused uproar in the whole auction hall.

"What? A medium martial integrating formation pattern scroll of body cultivation!"

"Lord Pu Shi has evaluated it? He sent it here on his own?"

"Well..."

Instantly, all the people in the auction hall roared.

Those who came to the auction hall were not small potatoes. Of course, they knew the value of the martial integrating formation pattern scroll. Most importantly, these people were aware of Pu Shi's capability. This man was not only a martial artist of Divine Meridians Stage but also a formation master. Even the masters of several families in Fengjian City had to dread him. The martial integrating formation pattern scrolls evaluated and sent here by Pu Shi must be extraordinary, which should be regarded as incomparable treasures.

"As per the evaluation by Lord Pu Shi, the three medium martial integrating formation pattern scrolls of body cultivation are very powerful. Once any one of them is used, the combat craft it shows can easily kill a martial artist of the fifth layer of body cultivation and even seriously injure a common martial artist of the sixth layer of body cultivation, even if it is used by an ordinary man!"

Xing Yao said.

Her words caused an uproar at once again.

Staring at the audience, Xing Yao gave a coquettish smile and said, "You are all rich but very few of you are martial artists. Of course, it is not that you cannot engage in martial cultivation but that you are simply too busy to cultivate."

"You may need to transport some valuable goods outside, which can cost hundreds of thousand spiritual coins at least and a few million at most. Think about this. What if you meet any bandits on the way? You will be in big trouble, I guess. However, if you have such a martial integrating formation pattern scroll at such a crucial moment, you must be able to deal with the ordinary bandits at ease."

"Of course, I believe you are all blessed. You won't encounter any bandits for sure. However, putting that aside, with such a martial integrating formation pattern scroll, even if you are an ordinary person, you won't need to be afraid in the face of a strong martial artist of the sixth layer of body cultivation. Besides, as long as the scroll is not used, it can be passed down from generation to generation."

When Xing Yao finished talking, the crowd stayed silent at first and then roared.

"Xing Yao, you are right!"

"I'll take the three martial integrating formation pattern scrolls!"

"They are mine!"

Continuous shouts sounded from the audience.

In the wooden cabinet, Lin Tian was taken aback. He stared in surprise at the woman in red on the jade podium. It seemed that the woman was not only pretty. She made a perfect speech just now, which caused no offense to those rich businessmen incapable of martial cultivation and also perfectly illustrated the magic effects of the martial integrating formation pattern scrolls. How marvelous!

"This woman is impressive."

Lin Tian said inwardly.

In the front of the auction hall, Xing Yao smiled at the crowd and said, "Well, let's begin bidding. Because the three martial integrating formation pattern scrolls were made by the same formation master, they are of the same value. Therefore, in order not to incur any unnecessary disputes, we decide to have the three of them auctioned together. The reserve price is 10,000 spiritual coins!"
