Dragon Monarch
Chapter 413 - Auction (4)
Alchemist Association
“How does that small body work?” That was all that was in the mind of the current Patriarch of the Li Clan and the five Elders as he stared at the extremely happy Xia Yue'er while continuing to chew the Three Forms Pill like a candy.
Their thoughts all froze as Yao Ran's voice sounded back on the stage.
“Alright, the next thing is a weapon.” Yao Ran said as he pulled out a sword that looked a little unique.
“This sword is...” Yao Ran also explained about the sword he took out. Naturally the weapon would be exaggerated in order for many to be interested and would eventually be bought by a cultivator at a great price.
As for Lin Yan and the others, they had absolutely no interest in the sword. Only cultivators who were on ordinary benches continued to bid for swords.
To the cultivators who were in the VIP Room was also just silent as they were naturally waiting for the precious objects to be auctioned. Only with the value of the previous first item that was the Three Forms Pill did they understand that the items sold starting from mid-auction would be very valuable.
“Hao’er, Lin Yan... If you want to buy something, say. I'll try to bargain it.” The Patriarch of the Li Clan said back and of course he did this to win the heart of his precious grandson in order to someday take the position of the next Patriarch of the Li Clan.
“Why did you just say it now? If you knew that, I wouldn't have lost that many spiritual stones.” Gu Yin muttered a little but was still heard by the Patriarch of the Li Clan and the five Elders.
The faces of the Patriarch of the Li Clan and the five Elders twitched slightly when they heard the mutterings from Gu Yin but they were named in no way responding.
“Woaa.. This pill is indeed very tasty.” Xia Yue'er also exclaimed as she patted her slightly swollen stomach from swallowing the Three Forms Pill.
“Things worth millions of high-end spiritual stones are just made into a snack. What waste!” The inner Patriarch of the Li Clan and the five Elders when glanced towards Xia Yue'er.
As for Lin Yan, Gu Yin and Li Hao did not care at all about Xia Yue'er's attitude and focused on the Auction that was still going on.
“Next object.”
“Next object.”
“Next object.”
The auction went on and it did not feel like four hours had passed. During that time, Lin Yan's group did not at all try to bargain for items because no one had caught their interest.
“The next thing is a unique Sword fragment whose clarification is unknown. However, our appraiser must admit that this sword fragment is made of a very unique material and is very difficult to find.” Yao Ran also said with a slightly confused tone. Actually they did not want to auction the sword because there was no forger that could reunite the complete sword fragments.
The cultivators following the auction were astonished that the Yao Clan sold such an object. But this makes them more interested.
“We are the offering of the broken sword that we refer to as the purple sword.” Yao Ran shouted as he took out a sword that was only a quarter intact, and the rest of it had already broken.
The sword does look purple and slightly whitish. What makes it interesting is the ornament at the intersection of the sword handle with the blade.
Lin Yan who initially looked a little bored as there was no object of interest to him even immediately stood on the spot and his eyes widened.
“What's Lin Yan?” Gu Yin asked because her husband reacted immediately when the object was removed.
Even for Li Hao, the Patriarch of the Li Clan and the Five Elders were a little surprised when he saw Lin Yan's usually calm reaction at all times.
As for Xia Yue'er, he narrowed his eyes and said, “I'm like I've seen that sword somewhere. But, where do I see it?”
“Patriak Li, I want that sword fragment at any cost. I will either replace the price of the sword when I have a lot of resources or I will reimburse the cost of the sword fragment with another precious object one day.” said Lin Yan and his tone this time was very serious.
As he said that, Lin Yan's heart was beating extremely fast. His body trembled slightly and he himself did not know whether this was happiness or any other sense that suddenly appeared in his heart.
Hearing such a serious word from Lin Yan, Li Hao stared at his grandfather and nodded seriously as well. He gave the code to his grandfather to help Lin Yan.
Seeing that, Clan Patriarch Li gave a small nod and said, “I will buy that sword fragment.”
The Patriarch of the Li Clan didn't ask at all about why Lin Yan wanted the sword fragment so badly. However he would not retract his words back that previously said that if Li Hao and Lin Yan wanted something, he would buy it.
“Suami, what's up? Do you know that sword fragment?” Gu Yin asked a little worried because it was very rare for Lin Yan to look like that.
Lin Yan did not reply and directly took out a frame containing the image of a woman from within his spatial ring. He slowly sat back and looked at the picture of a beautiful woman in the picture with a very complicated look.
“Why can I forget? This was the sword in the picture that made Lin Yan faint first!” Xia Yue'er also exclaimed as she immediately recalled the incident when she was in the Dragon Valley.
Hearing that, Gu Yin, Li Hao, the Patriarch of the Li Clan and the five Elders were startled and immediately curious then noticed from the place of each image that was in Lin Yan's hands.
“Lin Yan, who is this woman?” Gu Yin asked very curious. He looked back towards Lin Yan and into the picture several times as there was a certain resemblance of the two.
The shape of the face, eyebrows as well as the temperament of the woman in the picture were very similar to Lin Yan when Lin Yan put on an extremely cold face. With that, anyone knew that most likely the woman in the picture was a relative of Lin Yan.
“I don't know who he is. But.” Lin Yan stopped his words as he still remembered the last word he remembered clearly even though the image was very grim. That is the sentence ‘We will meet again.’
The Patriarch of the Li Clan, Li Hao and the Five Elders looked towards the image and understood why Lin Yan wanted the sword fragment so badly.
When the atmosphere in the room was silent, Yao Ran's voice was heard again.
“The starting price for this sword fragment is 10,000 high-end spiritual stones and the bid increment is at least 1 high-end spiritual stone! Auction starts!” Shouted Yao Ran.
