269: Auction of photo stones

"I heard you recently acquired a map?" Dragon Flame said ambiguously.

Hearing this, Huai Ruyu immediately knew what the other party was referring to, and her beautiful eyes flickered slightly.

"I did acquire some maps recently, but there are quite a few, including maps of the Huangyan Empire, Lie Ku Kingdom, and so on. I wonder why Young Brother is asking about this?"

Hearing A Man's reply, Dragon Flame showed a satisfied smile.

This guy is so cautious, it seems no one has ever seen that map!

This is for the best.

No one competing with him for the inheritance of that Dharma Aspect Realm Great Expert means his opportunity is greater!

"Tell me, how many Spirit Stones do you want? Give me that map of the Dharma Aspect Realm Great Expert's inheritance."

He directly stated his purpose.

Although Revered Master could divine the location of the Dharma Aspect Realm Great Expert's inheritance for him, she couldn't divine the specific situation inside the inheritance tomb at all.

Therefore, that map describing the internal layout of the inheritance is very important to him!

"The inheritance blueprint of a Dharma Aspect Realm Great Expert?" Huai Ruyu's eyes showed 'confusion': "Young Brother, why don't I understand what you're saying?"

The blueprint was given to Changsun Zilan yesterday. If Dragon Flame wanted it now, Huai Ruyu naturally couldn't go to Changsun Zilan to get it back.

It was even less possible to tell Dragon Flame that the item was with Changsun Zilan.

Therefore, Huai Ruyu played dumb.

This performance made Dragon Flame's brows furrow slightly: "One hundred million Spirit Stones! I think if you took it to auction, you probably wouldn't get this much."

"If the guest wants to auction something, you can go to the auction house. The items here cannot be sold privately." Huai Ruyu was a little surprised by Dragon Flame's offer, but there was still not much of a ripple in her expression.

While speaking, Huai Ruyu also walked towards the door.

"Wait!" Dragon Flame called out to Huai Ruyu somewhat dissatisfied: "I heard you need a large amount of Spirit Stones these past few days? Because of a certain bet?"

"Oh?" Huai Ruyu re-examined the young man before her, her eyes showing a hint of coldness: "The guest has heard quite a lot."

"I have some good things here that can help you win!" Saying this, Dragon Flame slightly raised his head.

According to Revered Master's divination, the bet this guy recently encountered relates to the rest of his life!

Therefore, helping him overcome this difficulty is equivalent to being his great benefactor!

Unfortunately, this is A Man.

But it doesn't matter, once he helps A Man overcome the recent difficulty, the Dharma Aspect Realm Great Expert's inheritance blueprint should also be within reach.

However.

This guy's answer was beyond Dragon Flame's expectation.

"No need. If you are just here for that non-existent blueprint, I think you can leave."

The refusal without the slightest hesitation was something Dragon Flame had not expected.

Could it be that the map is really not with this guy?

Could it be that Revered Master's divination was wrong again?

Without giving Dragon Flame time to think it over repeatedly, Huai Ruyu had already left on her own.

...

Ten Thousand Kingdoms Auction House, Huangyan Empire Imperial City Branch.

The first auction of the evening had already begun.

Today's auction, for the people, was still an ordinary auction.

As the audience entered the auction house one after another.

They received their respective box numbers, which was a slight surprise.

Today's auction had no ordinary seats, only boxes to ensure privacy!

"A bit strange." The eldest son of the Hong Family, one of the seven great families in the Imperial City, looked at the number nineteen box plate in his hand, his interest piqued.

He had been to auction houses countless times.

But an auction where it was all boxes was still the first time.

"I wonder what kind of thing it is, being so mysterious." He muttered to himself, and the eldest son of the Hong Family strode into his box.

One after another.

As over two hundred bidders arrived at their respective boxes.

A dignified auctioneer elegantly walked onto the auction stage.

"Welcome, esteemed guests. Today's auction will be hosted by Xiao Yue."

On the dark podium, a beam of spiritual energy light made the auctioneer, dressed in a brown robe, appear even more dignified.

"This auction is very special. There is only one type of item being auctioned, but there are two hundred pieces."

"Only one type?" As Auctioneer Xiao Yue's voice spread, many people in the two hundred boxes slightly rose in surprise.

As everyone's attention was focused.

These over two hundred officials and nobles from the Imperial City could clearly see a tray covered with a red cloth being presented by a maid.

The auctioneer took the tray.

The red cloth was lifted.

Under the illumination of the spiritual energy light, an ordinary recording stone appeared in everyone's sight.

"A recording stone? No way, can this thing also appear in an auction house, and at a high-level place like the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Auction House?"

Young Master Hong in the box couldn't help but complain to the attendant beside him.

Due to the soundproofing in the boxes, the voices of doubt from many people did not reach the auction stage.

The auctioneer picked up the recording stone from the tray.

Thinking of the contents of this recording stone, even with good professional etiquette, her earlobes still turned slightly red.

If she could, she actually really wanted to refuse to introduce such a shameful item.

"Guests, please do not underestimate this item." Xiao Yue lightly coughed: "A recording stone, as everyone knows, is something that records images."

"This recording stone in my hand is naturally no exception, but the contents recorded within it have tremendous educational significance for everyone!"

"Compared to the Revered Master who guides us in entering Martial Arts, or the Elders who teach us to uphold justice, this recording stone is equivalent to another Teacher, educating us on a great mission!"

Her rather serious tone made countless people present feel awe in their hearts.

"This is getting interesting." The sons of various noble families and sect Elders, their expressions turned a little serious.

To be able to be mentioned in the same breath as entering Martial Arts, could this be another Cultivation system?!

If that were truly the case, then for everyone present, it would be revolutionary!

"Because of the special nature of the images in the recording stone, the display will be presented individually in each of your boxes. Everyone can observe it first."

Under Xiao Yue's powerful control of the situation, images were also displayed in the over two hundred boxes.

"Is it a two-person Cultivation system?"

In box Ninth, the Eldest Princess of the Huangyan Empire, looking at A Man and a woman in the image, dared not miss the slightest detail.

However.

As the image played.

A hint of abnormality slowly appeared on the Eldest Princess's gentle face.

As the image continued to advance, the usually elegant and dignified Eldest Princess's face turned completely red, and a cloud of steam rose directly from her head!

"Disgusting, how can the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Auction House auction this kind of thing?" She spat lightly, still relatively calm, but the Eldest Princess couldn't help but glance at it a few more times.

Just as the crucial step was about to arrive, the image stopped.

Even with soundproofing.

Xiao Yue, on the auction stage, still heard the wails and exclamations of many guests.

"Hiss! So that's how it is." The eldest son of the Hong Family finally understood what this was educating them on.

This image, whether it was the angle or the cuts, could be called perfect!

Thinking of the ink paintings he treasured, compared to the image before him, they were simply, simply weak!

"I've never seen anything like it in my life! This is simply amazing!" His fat face was full of excitement, and the eldest son of the Hong Family felt as if a certain channel for spending money had been activated!
