216: The second picture of mountains, rivers and the state
“Hahaha! Qinglian, I knew you would come to the auction. There's a High Grade Snow Lotus Seed here, which is your chance to Breakthrough to the Returning Void Realm. How could you miss it!”
“You should obediently come back with me to get married! Don't worry, I will treat you well!” Luo Wudao laughed heartily.
Saintess Qinglian's heart was filled with worry at this moment. Revered Master had said before that she would block the Heavenly Dao Sect's gate to prevent anyone from pursuing her, but now, Luo Wudao had brought several Elders to chase after her. Could something have happened to Revered Master?
She had no other choice now but to take things one step at a time.
Fortunately, fighting was not allowed in Tianxia City. At worst, after bidding for the High Grade Snow Lotus Seed, she could escape Tianxia City and then use the Level Seven Escape Talisman Revered Master had given her to flee.
She frowned slightly, glaring at Luo Wudao with an angry expression, and shouted, “Get lost! This Saintess has no time for you.”
“Hahaha! Qinglian, you used to be high and mighty, never even looking at me directly. Now, your Heavenly Dao Sect Sect Master is begging our Luoheng Sword Sect for a marriage alliance. You have become a sacrifice. I advise you to drop your high and mighty attitude, otherwise, in ten days, I will make you cry for your mother and father!” Luo Wudao said with a wicked smile.
“Get lost! This is Tianxia City. Do you really think you can forcibly keep this Saintess here?!” Saintess Qinglian shouted angrily.
“Hehe, I naturally won't violate the rules of Tianxia City. However, I believe you will obediently come back with me later.”
As his voice fell, he moved aside, clearing the path.
Saintess Qinglian glared fiercely at Luo Wudao, then stormed angrily into the Tianxia Auction House.
Qin Tian was nearby and, hearing that the veiled woman was the Heavenly Dao Sect Saintess, he immediately showed a look of surprise.
“No wonder, no wonder, I always felt something on this woman was attracting me. So she is the Heavenly Dao Sect Saintess with the Nine Yin Holy Body. This is the mutual attraction of special Physiques!” Qin Tian thought to himself.
That's not right! Didn't I hear before that the Saint of the Luoheng Sword Sect was at Nascent Soul Peak? His spiritual energy fluctuations also show Nascent Soul Peak, but why does the System say he is at Returning Void Fourth Layer?
Could it be that Luo Wudao concealed his cultivation?
“Damn it, none of the Children of Destiny are not insidious!” Qin Tian cursed inwardly.
The System had previously indicated that Luo Wudao's Golden Finger was a Sword Immortal Legacy. Could it be that there really is an Immortal Realm above the Nine Heavens Continent?
Never mind these things for now. It's better to seize the immediate benefits first.
Thinking of this, he moved his mind, took out a tracking Puppet, and directly placed it on Luo Wudao.
He strode into the auction house. As soon as he entered, he saw Saintess Qinglian being led to the second floor by a Soul Transformation Realm maid.
Qin Tian took out another tracking Puppet. Under the control of his Divine Sense, the Puppet quickly moved towards Saintess Qinglian, and in the blink of an eye, it landed on her.
“Young Master, welcome to the Tianxia Auction House. May I ask if you need a private room?” A beautiful maid politely asked.
Qin Tian saw that the two tracking Puppets had already landed on Luo Wudao and Saintess Qinglian, and he knew that they could no longer escape his grasp.
However, how to play next, he had to plan it carefully to maximize the benefits.
He could, of course, kill Luo Wudao now. He wasn't afraid of any rules of Tianxia City. At worst, he would kill and leave. He didn't believe these people could stop him.
But then he wouldn't be able to fleece him. It's better to squeeze out his remaining value first.
“Young Master, may I ask if you need a private room?” The maid asked again.
“Give me the best private room!” Qin Tian said with a smile.
The maid's face immediately lit up with joy when she heard Qin Tian ask for the best private room as soon as he spoke.
“Young Master, there is only one Sky Number Nine Private Room left, and it costs fifty thousand High Grade spirit crystals. Do you need it?”
Qin Tian took out a Storage Pouch containing fifty-one thousand spirit crystals, handed it to the maid, and said with a smile, “Here are fifty-one thousand spirit crystals. The extra is for you as a reward.”
“Ah! Young Master, is this really for me as a reward?” The maid exclaimed in surprise.
“Mm, quickly take us to the private room!”
What he lacked least now were spirit crystals. Just from Jiang Chen and Ye Fan's Storage Rings, he didn't know how many spirit crystals they had contributed to him. He hadn't checked carefully, but he definitely had hundreds of millions of High Grade spirit crystals, and tens of millions of top-grade spirit crystals.
The maid took the Storage Pouch, and with a sweep of her Divine Sense, she saw that it indeed contained fifty-one thousand spirit crystals. Her delicate body trembled with excitement.
One had to know that she usually couldn't earn this much in a year. Now, not only did she get a commission of two hundred High Grade spirit crystals for the private room, but also a tip of one thousand High Grade spirit crystals. She instantly understood that she had met a rich patron.
She quickly and respectfully led Qin Tian and Gray Wu Chang to the Sky Number Nine Private Room on the second floor.
Upon reaching the private room, Qin Tian saw that it was incredibly luxurious. Whether it was the decorations or the spirit wine and spirit fruits placed on the table, none of them were ordinary items.
There was also a Formation screen similar to a display, which was probably used for bidding.
“Young Master, your servant will serve you wine!” The maid poured a cup of spirit wine and brought it to Qin Tian's lips, smiling charmingly.
Qin Tian opened his mouth wide and drank the spirit wine in one gulp, “Hahaha! Good wine!”
“Young Master, your servant will massage your shoulders!”
“Mm! Massage away. If you do it well, there will be a reward!” Qin Tian laughed heartily.
With so many spirit crystals, he also wanted to experience what it was like to be a rich man.
When the maid heard there would be a reward, she was ecstatic. She quickly went behind Qin Tian and carefully massaged his shoulders with her soft, boneless hands.
Qin Tian was not interested in the items at the auction. What good could items that were put up for auction be? One had to know that he now even looked down on Divine Artifacts.
If he were to take out a Divine Artifact for auction, this auction house would probably explode instantly.
Qin Tian drank fine wine and enjoyed the maid's massage, feeling extremely comfortable.
Looking at the dense crowd of Cultivators downstairs, Qin Tian was slightly startled, and thought to himself, “Is there something good being auctioned today?”
Soon, a Middle-aged beautiful woman in a red cloud robe came to the high platform of the auction house.
She smiled charmingly at the crowd below and said, “Welcome, Seniors, to the Tianxia Auction House. I believe everyone knows that among the items for auction this time, there will be an unknown ancient exotic treasure, as well as a High Grade Snow Lotus Seed. There are also other rare and exotic treasures. I believe everyone will not be disappointed this time.”
“I know that most people are here for this mysterious ancient exotic treasure and this High Grade Snow Lotus Seed. Here, our Tianxia Auction House wishes everyone a fruitful return. Without further ado, the auction now begins.”
As her voice fell, a maid carrying a long jade box walked to the Middle-aged beautiful woman.
The Middle-aged beautiful woman opened the jade box, and an ancient mountain and water painting appeared before everyone's eyes.
The moment the Middle-aged beautiful woman opened the Restriction on the jade box, the Mountain and Rivers State Diagram in Qin Tian's Sea of Consciousness trembled wildly.
“Holy crap, what's going on?” Qin Tian was greatly alarmed.
He quickly used his Divine Sense to see the painting in the Middle-aged beautiful woman's hand, and he immediately trembled with excitement.
“This… this is the Mountain and Rivers State Diagram!”
“Holy crap! What's going on? How can such a supreme treasure appear here?”
“Mine! Mine! It's all mine! I must get it, even if I have to kill everyone here, I must get it!” Qin Tian shouted in his heart.
