Chapter 722: Flood Dragon’s Scale Auction “Here are the VIP seats, Esteemed Guests. I have to prepare for the auction, so I will excuse myself now.” Gu Xiulan said to Feng Yuxiang after showing her the best seats in the house. Feng Yuxiang and Xiao Hua took a seat shortly after, and their presence immediately attracted the gazes of the people that were already there, all of whom were considered VIP, such as the Seven Legacy Families and the Seven Spirit Academies. “Excuse me, beautiful fairy. I know this is audacious of me, but I do not recognize you. Please spare me of this guilt by telling me your name.” A handsome man sitting two seats away from them suddenly asked Feng Yuxiang with this charming smile. But before Feng Yuxiang could respond, he continued to speak, “Oh, how disrespectful of me. I am the sect master of the Universal Music Academy, Sun Hao.” “…” Unfortunately, Feng Yuxiang didn’t even bother to spare him a single word, much less her name. Some of the people there began laughing in a suppressed manner when they saw Sun Hao’s flushed face and embarrassed expression. To dare disrespect one of Seven Spirit Academies’ Sect Masters in such a manner, the people there became even more interested in Feng Yuxiang’s identity. ‘Huh? Aren’t those two…?’ Wang Xiuying recognized Feng Yuxiang and Xiao Hua. She remembered seeing them with Yuan at the Mystic Realm. And while it was only for a brief moment, their attractive appearances made it easy for her to remember. ‘What are they doing here? Wait… Does this mean Yuan is also here? He ascended to Spirit Heaven recently, too.’ Wang Xiuying immediately became excited at the possibility that Yuan was nearby, as it has been a long time since they have seen each other. She began looking around for Yuan, but sadly, the VIP section was separated from the others, making it very difficult to look for him. As for Yuan, he sat down with Lan Yingying and Chu Liuxiang the moment they found three available seats so they could sit together, and their seats were all the way at the end of the conference room, where the auction is being held. “Wow, this feels like we’re at an important meeting.” Chu Liuxiang mumbled in a low voice. “The atmosphere and the building’s interior does give off that feeling.” Yuan agreed with her. Half an hour later, Gu Xiulan appeared before everyone in the center of the building, where a large circular platform existed. “Welcome, everyone! Thank you all for coming to our auction today on such short notice! My name is Gu Xiulan, and I have been a manager at the House of Riches for over 5 decades. It is with great honor that I bring to you today a priceless treasure that can only be found in the Fourth Heaven and above— the scale of a Flood Dragon!” The audience immediately became dead silent when Gu Xiulan started talking. ‘Gu Xiulan…? Is she part of the Gu Family or am I just being paranoid? Gu is a common surname, after all…’ Yuan thought to himself when he heard her name. “Before I continue, allow me to show you all the Flood Dragon’s scale.” Everyone there focused their gazes on Gu Xiulan and watched as she retrieved a beautiful box before placing it on the display stand beside her. “Make sure you engrave this moment into your soul because there’s a good chance that you will never see something like this ever again after today!” Gu Xiulan opened up the box, revealing the glistening blue scale inside the box that was also emitting an overwhelming aura. Many gasps of awe could be heard from the audience as they witnessed the Flood Dragon’s scale for the first time in their lives. “As you can all see, this is the Flood Dragon’s scale— one of flawless quality, as well. There are many benefits this scale can bring to you. Here’s just a few of many benefits. It can increase the innate talent of a cultivator with water spiritual veins. It can be used to concoct the Flood Dragon Pill that can help a peak Spirit Lord achieve Spirit King with great success. It can also be used to craft high-quality Divine-grade treasures.” The cultivators there salivated with desire as Gu Xiulan introduced the Flood Dragon’s scale. “I will now give everyone three minutes to prepare before I officially begin the auction.” Gu Xiulan said. Immediately, the entire place erupted with murmurs, but with so many people speaking at once, it sounded quite loud even if they were all whispering to each other. “This Flood Dragon’s scale is exactly what I need to breakthrough to Spirit King! We must get it at all costs!” Said a certain cultivator that had been stuck as a Spirit Lord for over three decades. “I have water spiritual veins! This Flood Dragon’s scale will boost my talents to a new level! We cannot miss this chance!” Said a certain Sect Master of a prominent sect. “With this Flood Dragon’s scale, I will finally be able to concoct the pill of my dream— a tier 6 pill!” “This is going to be one brutal auction…” Chu Liuxiang sighed at the atmosphere that suddenly became tense. “I don’t blame them for wanting such a priceless treasure. If I had the funds, I would also want to bid for it.” Yuan said. Three minutes passed in the blink of an eye. Gu Xiulan cleared her throat before speaking. “I hope you’re all prepared, because the auction for the Flood Dragon’s scale starts now! To start off the bid, 100,000 spirit stones with increments of at least 10,000 spirit stones!” “She started the auction at a billion gold?! I definitely underestimate this auction! Severely, at that!” Yuan cried inwardly, and he realized that he never had a place in this auction since the very beginning. As for the others, they did not hesitate to bid. “110,000 spirit stones!” “150,000 spirit stones!” “200,000 spirit stones!” In just a few minutes, the highest bid reached 400,000 spirit stones, which was a record in the history of all auction houses in the Spirit Heaven, shattering the previous record by over 100,000 spirit stones!
