Chapter 727B – Shadow Clan Auction

A white jade card represented the status of an ordinary guest. When Qin Yu purchased this jade card from a scalper he had clearly been fooled. His seat wasn’t near the middle-front area, but was in a distant corner.

Qin Yu didn’t care about this much though. After finding his seat, he sat down and closed his eyes.

Because he had departed relatively late, and because it took some time for him to purchase his invitation, the surrounding noise and commotion subsided not too long after he sat down.

The Shadow Clan auction started!

Qin Yu opened his eyes, a light flashing in their depths. He had made every possible preparation for today’s auction. He had to obtain the dragon blood and dragon soul no matter what.

“I welcome fellow honored guests and thank you for participating in the Shadow Clan’s auction. From the time of the last auction, it has been almost 2000 years. My clan has some sparse savings and I hope we will not disappoint you all.”

The light on the round central stage was warm and gentle. The one managing the auction was a Shadow Clan Elder. He had already introduced himself earlier, it was just that Qin Yu wasn’t paying much attention.

“The first item for auction is a special pill produced by the Shadow Clan, and it can increase one’s cultivation speed. I apologize but I cannot reveal the materials used to refine it. But, the effects are sure to satisfy you. The Shadow Clan has refined 200 pills and they will be auctioned off in groups of ten. Each group starts at a bid of 100,000 spirit stones. If any honored guests are interested, please begin bidding.”

Only three items came from the holy temple. Since the Shadow Clan had organized such a large auction, they naturally wouldn’t sell just three items. The dragon blood, dragon soul, and dragon fang would be the final items auctioned off and would be considered the finale. Before that, the Shadow Clan would auction off things from within the clan.

However, this was exactly the reason why a massive number of cultivators flocked here excitedly to join the Shadow Clan auction. Their goal were these items that the Shadow Clan was in sole possession of.

As for the holy temple’s items…only the truly great figures had the qualifications to contend for those. Looking at the entire auction site, how many people could bid for them?

An arrogant voice sounded from nearby. “Sister Sun, these pills produced by the Shadow Clan have common-sounding names, but you cannot underestimate them. I once used several pills from the Shadow Clan and they all had amazing effects.”

The initial bidding price started at 100,000 spirit stones. With the fierce contention for these goods, the final price was likely to be several times higher. In other words, one Shadow Clan pill was worth at least several tens of thousands of spirit stones. If this Li Shao could eat several of them, it could be imagined how wealthy he was.

Several surrounding cultivators looked at him with shock and flattery.

Those that attended the auction didn’t necessarily have the money to buy anything. Many people were willing to spend some spirit stones so that they could broaden their horizons.

For instance, in this corner, out of every ten people, seven or eight of them were purely viewers.

“Ah! Brother Li, you can actually use such expensive pills, I wouldn’t dare to think of that at all!” The young cultivator surnamed Sun commended in surprise, her expression shaken.

Li Shao basked in the attention of those around him. He purposefully remained calm as he laughed and said, “It’s just a minor matter, it’s nothing at all!” He sighed. “If it weren’t for me angering my old man and being cut off from the family allowance, I would have bought a group of pills and given them to you as a gift.”

The Sun girl appeared touched by these words. Everyone’s eyes changed again, filling with awe. To give a gift that was worth hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, this was something beyond their imagination.

Li Shao was even more smug about himself. But, when he glanced around and saw the silent Qin Yu, his complexion became a bit uglier. He and sister Sun were sitting in seats that weren’t next to each other. He had asked this person to change seats. Normally this would just be a trivial matter, but the young man had refused.

Thinking back to this, Li Shao’s expression became even uglier. He falsely smiled and said, “Fellow daoist, may I ask if you will be participating in the auction? In any case, I plan to bid on an item and give it to sister Sun as a gift.”

Everyone had watched the minor commotion of switching seats a while ago. They knew that this Li Shao was intentionally trying to embarrass this person.

Qin Yu was expressionless. “Maybe later. If something suitable shows up, perhaps I will bid on it.”

Oho, this was a stubborn young man that wasn’t willing to lower his head.

Li Shao sneered. “Good. Then I will wait for fellow daoist to reveal your hand.”

Qin Yu felt a little helpless. If he had known about this person’s attitude
