Chapter 177 – Bishui Fang Market Auction [2 in 1] [二合一
Bishui Fang Market.
This was a workshop market that was no less than the Qianyang workshop market in terms of scale.
It was even a bit larger.
Including the Aqua Sword Pavilion behind it, in terms of strength, it was also slightly stronger than the Qian Yang Sect.
There were a total of five Jindan real people within the sect.
This was also the reason why it was able to co-rule Liang with another Jindan sect, the Tian Yue Sect.
That’s right.
In Liang Country, there were only two Jindan forces in total.
It was the Aqua Sword Pavilion and the Heavenly Yue Sect.
The two of them, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, finally arrived at the Bishui Marketplace after spending about half a month.
Just after arriving at the Bishui Square Market, the couple saw the surging flow of people in this place.
To say that there were people coming and going was not an exaggeration at all.
I’m afraid that this was related to the upcoming Bishui Square Market Auction that would be held soon.
Along the way, the couple saw that the surrounding stores, inns, and even caves were almost all full.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that at this time, those foreign cultivators, even if they want to find a place to stay here, I’m afraid it’s not an easy task.
At this time, the benefits of having a family came to light.
Long before this, their Jiang Family’s several restaurants and inns here had already arranged a good place for them, as well as the people from the Jiang Family who were preparing to come to participate in this auction.
Especially since the two of them were here and did not deliberately hide their figures, Liu Linglong, who was responsible for sitting in this Bishui Square Market, immediately spotted the two of them, and then quickly appeared in front of the two of them, respectfully saluting:
“Linglong has met the two Supreme Elders.”
“Uh-huh.”
Seeing that it was Liu Linglong who had come over, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but both give her a slight nod.
They heard Jiang Chengxuan say, “Elder Liu, during this period of time, are you in charge of sitting in on our Jiang Family’s properties in this Bishui Square City?”
Liu Linglong instantly nodded.
“Reporting back to Elder Jiang, yes.”
After a pause, he heard Liu Linglong add:
“In addition, the Third Elder, as well as Yun Rou and the others, have also arrived at the marketplace, preparing to participate in the auction afterward.
Senior Jiang, do you need me to inform them to come over to meet you?”
“Hmm, did Rendao and the others also come?”
Jiang Chengxuan thought briefly, then shook his head and said:
“No need, just let them attend by themselves.
Also, there’s no need for you to mind us, just go ahead and go about your own business, my wife and I are planning to stroll around in this Bishui Fang City first.”
Hearing this, Liu Linglong nodded knowingly.
At that moment, she did not bother Jiang Chengxuan and his wife, and after bowing to them, she returned to one of their Jiang Family’s restaurants here.
Seeing this, Shen Ruyan could not help but say thoughtfully:
“Husband, if I’m not mistaken, within the next few decades, it should be Jiang Rendao and that Liu Linglong who have the most hope of breaking through the Purple Mansion, right?”
Jiang Chengxuan obviously did not expect Shen Ruyan to suddenly bring this up, and after hearing this, he first thought about it for a moment, and then nodded his head in agreement:
“Not bad, Rendao is now at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, if he can get the corresponding promotion spirit, there should be a probability of about 40-50% that he can be promoted to the Purple Mansion.
As for the Liu Linglong just now ……”
Saying this, Jiang Chengxuan’s tone gave a slight beat before he continued:
“Nowadays, although her cultivation level is still at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment, I can see that her qualifications are no worse than Rendao’s, and even a little better.
When she reaches the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, I’m afraid that the probability will be even higher than Rendo if she has the appropriate promotion spirit.
But the only problem is that she is a woman and her surname is not Jiang.
Most importantly, I’ve heard that many clans and sects have come to our Jiang family to propose marriage, wanting to marry her.
At that time, I really can’t guarantee that Elder Liu, she, will still consider her to be a part of our Jiang Family.”
It had to be said that this concern of Jiang Chengxuan was indeed an objective fact that many clans faced.
Unless they were recruiting door-to-door son-in-laws, once a woman in the clan married out, that would inevitably be dominated by her husband’s side of the family.
This was a very normal thing.
Including today’s Shen Ruyan was the same.
Only, between the same clan, even if they were married out, because of the relationship of bloodline connection, between them and their own mother’s clan, there was still an unbreakable bloodline kinship.
However, if it is a woman of a different surname in the clan, then the situation is different.
Without the ties between the bloodline, relying solely on the feelings accumulated by getting along with each other in the past, if the time is short, it is okay.
But if the time is long, what will be the final situation, that is no one can say.
In this case, whether or not to cultivate her in the future to become the newly promoted Purple Mansion Cultivator of the family is really a rather entangling issue.
In the past, when Jiang Chengxuan was in the Shen family, he would not have considered these issues.
Now that he had begun to take charge of his own family, it was inevitable that he would think more about this type of issue.
At this moment, when Shen Ruyan saw Jiang Chengxuan’s appearance, she couldn’t stop smiling.
“Husband, are you thinking too early?
If you and I later, really intend to cultivate that Liu Linglong into my Jiang family’s Purple Mansion cultivator, before giving her the corresponding promotion spirit, there are some things that can naturally be clearly stated with her.
If she is willing to accept our conditions, then so be it, if she is not willing, or has her own choice, why do you and I have to force ourselves?”
A few words that instantly made Jiang Chengxuan realize.
He couldn’t help but nod with a bitter smile.
“You’re right, ma’am, it was me who was a bit of a bull’s-eye just now.”
“Hehe, other than that, there is actually another way.”
Shen Ruyan’s smile suddenly was taking on a bit of playfulness.
Only to hear her continue, “That is for you, husband, to marry that Liu Linglong and make her your concubine.
It just so happens that your generations in the clan are just about equal.
You won’t have any trouble in this regard if you marry her.
Most importantly, in this way, those problems that you and I are worried about will naturally likewise not exist.”
“I marry Liu Linglong?”
Jiang Chengxuan’s face immediately revealed a touch of dismay, looking at Shen Ruyan with some shock.
He had never expected that between Shen Ruyan and him, she would say such words.
Well, although at the beginning of the crossing, he had fantasized about such issues more than once.
But as he grew older.
Especially after he and Shen Ruyan got together and went through so much together with each other along the way.
In his heart, he had long been treating Shen Ruyan as the only indispensable part of his life.
Naturally, it was impossible for him to think about those things.
Even this aspect of the idea, he has not risen.
For this reason, when Jiang Chengxuan heard Shen Ruyan’s words, his heart was truly filled with disbelief.
At that moment, he hurriedly was shaking his head with a serious expression and said:
“Ma’am, in the future, this type of words, it is better to never say it again, I will not consider it.”
“Alright.”
Shen Ruyan smiled and really did not say it again.
Next, the couple was strolling around roughly within this Bishui Square City.
Time was in a hurry.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the Bishui Market Auction.
On this day.
The couple arrived at the location of the Aqua Market Auction together.
It had to be said that the scale of the Bishui Fang Market Auction, which was held once every thirty years, was indeed not small.
The auction itself, moreover, did not have any great restrictions.
As long as you were a cultivator and were willing to pay three spirit stones as an entrance fee, then you could come and participate.
On this point alone, the auction itself is already able to make a fortune.
So.
When Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, after walking into the scene of the auction together, saw, pressurized almost all people.
Roughly estimated, as far as they could see, the number of people was already not less than tens of thousands.
It can be imagined that after that large-scale auction that is only held once every hundred years, the number of cultivators that can be attracted to it will be a horrifying number?
It was said that at that time, even cultivators from several other neighboring countries would come here.
Occasionally, one might even meet that towering Jindan Realist.
At this time.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan casually found a seat and sat down.
About a few hours later, this medium-sized auction, which was held once every thirty years, was finally announced to have officially begun.
It was seen that above that high platform, there were suddenly countless brilliant rains of light showering down.
Accompanied by numerous brightly colored petals, everyone present could clearly feel that a pure aura suddenly filled the entire venue in an instant.
This caused the spirits of everyone who had come here to be slightly shaken.
Just this wave of opening benefits made some lower-ranked Qi Refining cultivators feel that they and the others were already worth the price of the ticket.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were also quite surprised.
Obviously not expecting that this Bishui Square Market Auction, the opening even had such a trick up its sleeve.
This was clearly not present in their Cloud Country’s major auctions.
Even though these things, for their Purple Mansion cultivators, did not count for much, and there were not even any secrets among them.
But undeniably, this kind of means, for those Qi Refining cultivators, and even part of the Foundation Establishment cultivators, still has not a small shock.
“Fellow Daoists ……”
At this time, under the backdrop of that roiling rain of light and many brightly colored flower petals, a beautiful female cultivator with an unparalleled figure and appearance, clearly appeared on top of that auction platform.
Upon seeing her, some of the Violet Mansion cultivators who had come here immediately sat up slightly straighter.
Obviously, they all knew something about the identity of that beautiful female cultivator.
This woman was no ordinary person.
Rather, it was the Purple Mansion Elder of that Jindan Sect, the Aqua Sword Pavilion, named Flower Dreaming Yui, numbered Hundred Flower Fairy.
Right now, this auction was hosted by her personally, so it could be seen that on the side of the Aqua Sword Pavilion, just how much importance was attached to this auction.
“I’m sure that everyone should already have an understanding of some of the rules of this auction before coming here.”
Hua Mengyue opened her mouth with a faint smile at this time.
“So, I won’t say any more nonsense, let’s start our first lot directly.”
As he spoke, a jade bottle was already brought up.
When Hua Mengyue opened that jade bottle and the crowd saw what was in it, the faces of some Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators couldn’t help but show excitement.
Foundation Establishment Dan!
That was actually a bottle of Foundation Establishment Pill!
“Hehe, I think everyone should already be recognizing it.”
Hua Mengyue opened her mouth with a smile.
“That’s right, this first lot is none other than a bottle of Foundation Establishment Dan, four in total.
The starting price is ten thousand spirit stones, and each time the price is raised, it shall not be less than one thousand spirit stones.”
As soon as her words fell, someone at the scene was impatient to say:
“Twenty thousand spirit stones!”
“Twenty-two thousand spirit stones!”
“Thirty thousand spirit stones!”
……
In just a few moments, the price of that bottle of Foundation Building Pill was pushed to thirty thousand spirit stones.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but glance at each other.
In both of their eyes, it was obvious that they were both a little surprised as well.
Unexpectedly, this first lot was a bottle of four Foundation Establishment Pills.
This Bishui Fang City’s Medium-sized Auction, the handiwork was really not ordinary.
“Forty thousand spirit stones!”
“Fifty thousand spirit stones!”
“Sixty thousand spirit stones!”
……
At this point, the price of that Foundation Establishment Pill still showed no signs of wanting to stop.
It was really because that Foundation Establishment Dan was too important and too scarce for low ranked cultivators.
Now that four of them had appeared all at once, none of those low-ranked cultivators wanted to miss it.
Some small clans and sects were even joining together with each other to bid.
“Seventy thousand spirit stones!”
“Seventy-five thousand spirit stones!”
“Eighty thousand spirit stones!”
……
It was only at this point that the bidding for that Foundation Establishment Pill gradually slowed down.
And as a matter of fact, eighty thousand spirit stones was almost at the upper limit of the price of four Foundation Establishment Pills.
However, because of the extreme scarcity of this Dan in the market, the price was still slowly continuing to rise.
“Eighty-two thousand spirit stones!”
“Eighty-three thousand spirit stones!”
“Eighty-seven thousand spirit stones!”
……
Finally, when the price, was reported to eighty-seven thousand spirit stones, the crowd’s bidding was considered to have completely stopped.
This caused many people at the scene to secretly smack their lips in their hearts.
Eighty-seven thousand spirit stones.
This amount was already considered a huge sum of money.
Not to mention those qi refining and foundation building clans or sects, even if it was some Purple Mansion cultivators, they wouldn’t be able to help but be moved by it.
“Next, a third-order magic treasure embryo.”
At this moment, someone brought up a treasure bead that emitted emerald green color.
Only to see Hua Mengyue smilingly say, “This treasure is called the Emerald Wood Yuan Bead, after that, Daoists who are expected to break through the Violet Mansion should pay attention, don’t miss out on this third-ranked magic treasure embryo oh.
The starting price of this item is eight thousand spirit stones, and each increase in price shall not be less than one thousand spirit stones.”
“Ten thousand spirit stones!”
“Fifteen thousand spirit stones!”
“Twenty thousand spirit stones!”
“Twenty-eight thousand spirit stones!”
……
Soon, this wood-attributed third-order magic treasure embryo was auctioned off for twenty-eight thousand spirit stones.
Next, several more lots came up on the stage one after another.
However, most of those lots at this time, their grades were between first and second rank.
There were only a small number of lots whose grades had reached the third rank.
It was just that those third-ranked items weren’t of much use to the present-day Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
Just like this, the auction passed three days in the blink of an eye.
Three days later in the afternoon.
When another third-ranked lot, was brought up, it finally caught the attention of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s couple.
