Chapter 945 Gathering at the Auction!

Chapter 945 Gathering at the Auction!


“Okay!” Fang Qiu agreed at once.


He knew that Lin Rusheng needed this Heaven Treasure. But he needed it even more!


He had been doing some thinking about his own strength. Although he had re-cultivated to the eighth cla.s.s with two opened meridians, he still felt that his progress was too slow.


Even though he had exerted himself, this was already the best he could achieve.


Since the last meeting with the old master, Fang Qiu had been telling himself that he must advance to the level of having two flowers in his Dantian before the Chinese Medicine Conference. But now, his re-cultivation had not even reached the ninth cla.s.s, let alone the level of having two flowers in his Dantian!


Well, if Fang Qiu could make breakthroughs regardless of everything, he could totally soar to the Guru Realm in a short time.


However, he could not do it.


This was because he was subject to a particularly severe restriction in recultivating.


That was the amount of Heaven Treasures!


Heaven Treasures were really scarce. They could be found only by accident, but not through seeking.


He was already lucky enough to have obtained so many Heaven Treasures. If he wanted to get more, he had to seize every possible chance!


Fang Qiu had done some deep thinking regarding this issue.


After his battle with Lin Rusheng, whether he eventually won or lost, his strength would definitely be improved to the peak of the eighth cla.s.s with two opened meridians. Then, if he wanted to make a breakthrough, he had to find a suitable Heaven Treasure.


In the past month, Fang Qiu had been troubled by this. He wondered where he should go to find a suitable Heaven Treasure to help him break through.


To his surprise, as soon as they set the date for the battle, the Ambergris Gra.s.s, a Heaven Treasure that was ranked eighth, was discovered.


For Fang Qiu, the appearance of the Ambergris Gra.s.s was like the first rain after a long drought.


Even Fang Qiu himself began to suspect if he was the son of G.o.d. He went to shoot a movie a month ago and luckily stumbled on a Heaven Treasure. Now, after only a month, another Heaven Treasure appeared!


“According to the description of the Scroll of Heaven and Earth Treasures, in addition to possessing strong Qi of Heaven and Earth, the Ambergris Gra.s.s also has a special effect—it can cleanse tendons and purify marrow.


“It can unlock a person’s greatest potential and improve one’s apt.i.tude in martial arts cultivation!”


As he thought of this, Fang Qiu secretly took a deep breath.


He knew that due to the magical effect of the Ambergris Gra.s.s, the appearance of this Heaven Treasure would inevitably cause all the prominent families and major forces in Wulin to fight for it.


Because for them, one blade of the Ambergris Gra.s.s alone could very likely turn at least one of their members into a ninth-cla.s.s or even a guru-level expert in the future!


Thus, the compet.i.tion for the Ambergris Gra.s.s was bound to be extremely fierce.


“No matter what, I’m determined to have it!”


Fang Qiu clenched his fist with resolution.


Still, there were a few days to go before the auction took place. Fang Qiu must make thorough preparations during this period.


The next day.


Early in the morning, Fang Qiu disappeared from the cultivation base.


No one knew where he had gone.


Nevertheless, no one asked about his whereabouts, for they had long gotten used to it.


“Our boss always comes and goes without leaving a trace. It would be incredulous if he could stay in the base for a month in total per year.”


In the few days when Fang Qiu was gone, Wulin became more and more boisterous.


Soon, the fifth day arrived.


It was the first day of the auction held by the Chic Cloud Pavilion!


On this day.


Many martial artists on the Wulin online forum came to the capital specially for the auction. They gathered in front of the Chic Cloud Pavilion, hoping to witness this unprecedented auction with their own eyes.


The items on auctions were usually highly valuable, not to mention the ones that would appear on the auction held by the Chic Cloud Pavilion, the largest auction house in Wulin.


Today, the auction item was actually a piece of information.


This was unprecedented!


Of course, apart from the people who scrambled to the auction site and wanted to partic.i.p.ate in and witness the whole auction, many also took the opportunity to start text live broadcasts on the Wulin online forum.


The reason why they only did text live broadcasts was that no one dared to film this auction without permission.


Everyone knew that the people who came to partic.i.p.ate in the auction were all important figures from the prominent families and major forces in Wulin. These big shots didn’t like to be secretly photographed or filmed, so they could only do live broadcasts in text.


Otherwise, if they got caught in action by these big shots, they would be kicked out of the auction house or even get themselves into serious trouble!


In the evening.


In front of the Chic Cloud Pavilion with a stone table.


Since noon, a great number of people had gathered here.


As a result, the road that was not crowded suddenly became congested. All the parking spots on the street were taken. There was not a single spare spot that was available.


At first, nothing special happened.


However, when night fell, some plain-clothed policemen in the local police station noticed that something was wrong. Moreover, the people on the street all seemed to know one another. They immediately thought that it was an illegal gathering and quickly reported it to their superiors, asking if they should investigate.


As it turned out, not long after the report was made, some people who knew the inside story almost spat out the water they just drank.


This was the capital.


Even a small police station had a heavyweight figure supervising it.


These heavyweight figures more or less had some knowledge of this auction. Thus, when they learned that the police were going to deal with the gathering, they immediately broke out in a cold sweat.


Is this a place they could interfere in?


Those who dare to gather there are all waiting to enter the auction house. The ones who are allowed to enter the auction house are certainly not ordinary people. Any one of them can easily vanquish a squad of policemen!


How can we mess with them?


Of course, if the policemen showed up in police uniforms, these Wulin people would definitely not dare to use violence against them. After all, they were officials. Yet, even so, the police could not afford to recklessly tread on the toes of these Wulin people.


Soon, an order was given.


“No matter what happens, do not interfere!”


Upon hearing this order, the lower-ranking policemen and the plain-clothed policemen who had found the gathering rather fishy were all puzzled. However, since their superior had issued the order, they dared not to disobey. They could only watch these people a.s.semble there.


On the Wulin online forum, all kinds of text live broadcast posts started rolling, which attracted the attention of countless martial arts pract.i.tioners who could not make it to the scene.


At the site, all the people were waiting anxiously.


It was already eight o’clock in the evening.


There were 45 minutes to go before the Chic Cloud Pavilion’s auction took place.


As the opening time approached, the martial arts pract.i.tioners who had gathered outside the Chic Cloud Pavilion started chatting in twos and threes.


All of a sudden—


“Pitter-patter, pitter-patter…”


The sound of particularly light and graceful footsteps rang out.


Although the footsteps were very light, they still reached the ears of everyone present despite the hubbub.


As soon as the footsteps were heard, the racket subsided immediately.


Everyone turned to look at the newcomer at the same time.


They saw an old man in ragged clothes and carrying a long sword on his back slowly walk over.


“He is Sword Fanatic!”


Everyone on the scene was stunned at the sight of this man. Some even involuntarily let out cries of surprise. Many people who were standing in Sword Fanatic’s subconsciously backed off in haste to make way for him.


On the Wulin online forum.


“Sword Fanatic has arrived!”


These few words immediately sparked a heated discussion.


At the scene, everyone had s.h.i.+fted their gaze away from Sword Fanatic.


It was because after joining the crowd, Sword Fanatic held the sword in his arms and closed his eyes to rest.


But right at this moment—


“Mr. Qian, Miss Zhan.”


Someone called out respectfully.


Everyone turned to look.


Qian Xiao from the Qian family and Zhan Lin from the Zhan family were coming side by side. With the greetings of many martial arts pract.i.tioners, they walked into the crowd.


On the Wulin online forum.


“The Qian family and Zhan family have come together!”


The text live broadcast posts reported the news in real time.


Yet, after seeing the news that the Qian Family and Zhan Family arrived together, people immediately made comments online.


“Why are the Qian family and the Zhan family acting together?”


“Although these two families are not hostile to each other, they’ve never been partners in public. Could it be that they have formed an alliance for the sake of the information about the Ambergris Gra.s.s?”


“We can’t rule it out. Even if one has the money to buy the information, one still needs to have the strength to seize and guard it!”


“Whoever auctions off the news will inevitably become the focus of all the people in Wulin. In the end, he or she will definitely be robbed by others. The auction this time is not just an auction for the news about a Heaven Treasure. It’s more of an early opportunity to deploy troops for battle!”


While everyone was discussing animatedly, another piece of news came.


“The Diwu family has arrived.”


“The Xi family is here!”


As soon as the two families appeared, it immediately caused a bigger stir.


“Now that the Qian family and Zhan family have acted together, could the Diwu Family have also allied with the Xi family?”


“No! The Diwu family is mighty. They don’t need an ally at all. The Xi family is not weak either. In fact, of the Four Great Families, the relatively weak ones are the Qian family and the Zhan family. After all, these two families have spent most of their energy on running their businesses. For them, the Ambergris Gra.s.s is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to improve their strength. Therefore, if the Qian family and the Zhan family want to compete for it, they have to join hands!”


“Well, I got excited just by listening to the theory alone.”


“Will there be any other powerful alliance? After all, these Four Great Families are not easy to deal with!”


The discussion became more and more heated.


On the site, the voices of discussion grew louder and louder.


“Members of the Pear Garden are here!”


Just as everyone was talking enthusiastically, someone suddenly called out.


Everyone looked over.


Six maids in white gowns with pear flowers pinned in their hair were slowly heading toward the crowd.


Everyone narrowed their eyes to observe.


Behind the six maids came a young man. He strode forward with a smile on his face. In front of him, there was a woman that no one had seen before.


“Yun Yangzi!”


“Sure enough, the Pear Garden has sent Yun Yangzi over again.”


“It seems that the Pear Garden is determined to get the Ambergris Gra.s.s this time. Otherwise, the Pear Garden that stays in seclusion all year round wouldn’t have sent another member here along with Yun Yangzi. This unfamiliar woman must have a high status in the Pear Garden!”


At the same time, the Wulin online forum was also in an uproar.


Everyone was demanding to see who that unfamiliar woman was and what she looked like.


Unfortunately, no one dared to take photos!


When various forces arrived, they greeted one another with the hold fist salute.


Less than 15 minutes before the auction, another person arrived.


The newcomer was in a blue Taoist robe.


He was slim, with gray hair at his temples. He also had a long beard, which made him looked like a highly respected Taoist.


“He is… Lin Rusheng!”
