Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


A long time ago, Chen Xiaobei had gone through a lot of trouble to save up and gather all the low-tier Spiritual Stones that he needed. In order to not overspend them, it was crucial for him to come up with a thorough plan before using any of it. To his unhappy surprise, he had never expected that even millions of low-tier Spiritual Stones were not enough to buy a Chinese painting. This new-found knowledge completely turned Chen Xiaobei’s mind upside down.


After knowing Master Tao’s true ident.i.ty, Chen Xiaobei could already guess what the mysterious auctioned item was. Initially, he thought that it might have been some ultra-rare Spiritual Item or a vial of Spiritual Medicine. Now, there was a high chance that the coveted item was going to be the painting.


Ning Yuchen once told Chen Xiaobei that the higher the tier of a planet, the more they liked Chinese culture. For example, traditional medicinal skills, pill concoction, and ancient martial arts were extremely popular on their planet. Sumukhwa is one of the most important culture of China’s history.


Besides, aliens were living beings as well. Apart from pursuing life’s luxuries, they wanted to pursue something that brought greater meaning to their life as well. Art will always thrive in a modern world such as this. Suddenly, Chen Xiaobei remembered that someone had forgotten to draw his portrait.


“Ladies and gentleman! Thank you all so much for coming here tonight! I’m the auctioneer, Fei Xuan!”


A gorgeous lady in a crimson long dress walked onto the stage and greeted everyone. Her seductive voice had made every single men in the hall succ.u.mb to her. The moment she bowed at the crowd, her deep cleavage was presented before everyone. Immediately, all the men were pumped with a high dosage of adrenaline – causing them to feel really excited. Even before the auctioned item was being brought out, the crowd’s mood had already lightened up considerably.


With a drop-dead gorgeous lady standing on the stage, it was not hard to imagine that the men would use their wealth to impress her later. After all, men always had tendencies to show off in front of a beautiful woman. One could imagine that the final price of the auctioned item was going to be extremely high.


“Time is precious! Without further ado, let’s begin the auction! Now, we shall lay our eyes on the very first item of our auction!”


Seemingly, Fei Xuan was born to be an auctioneer. Her lean standing posture, voice, and overall presence were enough to light up the mood of every single person in the hall. A single statement from her was enough to make everyone focus on the auctioned item. Seconds later, two ladies in Cheongsam’s walked out carrying a Sumukhwa!


Fei Xuan swung her hands to signal the two ladies who then opened it up. In the Sumukhwa, a general with long spear could be seen charging valiantly at the enemies in front of him. The drawing was so surreal that they the crowd could literally feel that the general had no fear while facing tens of thousands of soldiers. Immediately, every single one of them were left in a state of shock and awe. Though Chen Xiaobei did not know too much about Sumukhwa, he knew that the person that drew this Sumukhwa was definitely no ordinary painter.


“I believe that everyone has already known that the painter of this Sumukhwa is none other than the great Master Tao Qianli himself! The name of this Sumukhwa is called, A Ride That Carries Victory! This Sumukhwa is one of the earliest artwork of Master Tao! At that time, many people were shocked to see such a well-drawn Sumukhwa! And, that was how he got famous after that! I can confidently say that this Sumukhwa is really meaningful to Master Tao and everyone here! This is definitely one of those must-have-item for collectors!”


“Initially, this Sumukhwa was going to be auctioned off at the Northern Wilderness Chamber of Commerce. But then, because Master Tao Qianli became famous right here at this place, he had decided to sell it here. Dare I confidently say that this is a once in a life time opportunity! Once you miss it, you will never get a second chance like this!”


Immediately, everyone had their attention on the Sumukhwa.


“Oh G.o.d! I would have never thought that this painting will be auctioned here at this place! That is the legendary first Sumukhwa from Master Tao Qianli!”


“You are right! Even Master Tao Qianli said that this is his favourite Sumukhwa! This art piece is exactly why he got so famous! Now, he is indeed the master of Sumukhwa!”


Those that knew anything at all about Sumukhwa knew the history behind this piece of Sumukhwa.


“I have also heard that this Sutmuthwa was being sent to other higher tier planets! How come it’s being sent here again?”


“Well that happened around 10 years ago! Old news! Things change! Anything is possible! I don’t think it’s something that we should pay our attention to! We should be more concerned about the price of this Sumukhwa!”


“Speaking about the price, I think it’s going to be astronomical!”


“Before Master Tao Qianli became famous, his artwork could already sell as high as 300 mid-tier Spiritual Stones! Now, I think it’s going to cost more than 3,000 mid-tier Spiritual Stones!”


“d.a.m.n! Ten times! This is ridiculous! I don’t think we can afford it! We will never get 3,000 mid-tier Spiritual Stones even if we sell our houses and all our stuff!”


“Of course! Look at the crowd! Four masters of the great temples are here! And the governor as well! Clearly, they are here to bid for the Sumukhwa! And us? We are here just to watch the show! There is no way that we can afford it!”


Upon hearing that, Chen Xiaobei got all worked up as well. He found it hard to believe that 3,000 mid-tier Spiritual Stones would not be enough to purchase it. He was even considering of going to learn and paint Sumukhwa to make himself to become richer.


“Lady Fei Xuan! Please don’t make us wait! Tell us the price!”


“Okay! Please be quiet…”


One smile from her and everyone kept quiet – waiting for her to announce the bidding price.


“Judging from the history and meaning of this Sumukhwa… The bidding price that we decided is…”


Fei Xuan paused her sentences deliberately to keep the crowd in suspense.


“Bidding starts at a price is 3,000 mid-tier Spiritual Stones! Every bid costs 100 mid-tier Spiritual Stones!”
