221- Arrival
A few minutes ago, before the auction started:
On the third floor of the auction building, an auction guard was sweating profusely as he explained a few things to a young man sitting in the chair.
After the young man listened to the man, he laughed disdainfully and sent away the guard.
After the guard was gone, the young man sneered and said,
“Heh, still trying to look tough? Let's see what makes you so arrogant.”
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and an old man entered the room.
As soon as the old man entered the room, he bowed politely towards the young man and said,
“Young master. Master and Madam have arrived.”
When the young man heard this, all his arrogance faded, and he immediately got up and went out to receive his father and mother. &
222- Red Bamboo Water Both Orochi and Alex Xavier were playing bidding games with each other, and they had the same thing in their mind, “Let me have some fun till our showdown.” Alex Xavier wanted to waste Orochi’s money by forcing him to bid higher prices and making him feel irritated. But Orochi had multiple plans for Alex Xavier. Orochi already knew that Alex Xavier was forcing him to buy things at higher prices, but he did not mind that, as he would squeeze multiple times the amount he has wasted in the auction. Both Alex and Orochi got into an intense bidding fight. Alex: “2200 Gold Coins.” Orochi: “2300 Gold Coins.” Alex: “2400 Gold Coins.” Orochi: “2500 Gold Coins.” .  
223- Orochi's Plan 2 As Liza Dohm finished introducing the ‘Red Bamboo water’, she looked at everyone’s expression and smiled with satisfaction. Various discussions started among the crowd. Even the VIP rooms got noisy. Because the effects of ‘Red Bamboo water’ and ‘Red Bamboo’ are truly appealing to all the cultivators present in the auction hall. Especially for the Human stage cultivators present in the auction hall. She then continued. “Today we are auctioning about 3 bottles of ‘Red Bamboo water’ and 10 ‘Red Bamboo Shells’.” Hearing the first part of the sentence, many people’s excitement dimmed but when they heard the last part, many people’s excitement peaked to the limit, especially the people whose cultivation is in the Mortal realm, who were very
224- Chan Clan reacts “12,000 gold coins.” As soon as the voice fell, immediately everyone’s eyes moved towards the source from which the voice originated. Alex Xavier’s body jerked when he heard this voice but the next moment he sneered, “Hehe... truly something. You even dare to bid against the Chan clan. Looks like you truly are an ignorant fool.” Yes, the one who bid was none other than Orochi. Not only did Alex Xavier feel that Orochi’s act was foolish, even the other people in the auction hall felt that the person [Orochi], who just made the bid was stupid. Didn't you just hear that a person from the Chan clan had made a bid for the Red Bamboo water? And you still dare to bid? Have ever heard about the Chan clan? Do yo
225- People in Power Meanwhile, the auction continued. Liza Dohm started the countdown once again, “12,000 gold coins for the first time.” “12,000 gold coins for the second time.” Just as Liza Dohm was about to make the last call, inside the Chan Clan’s room, Elder Jit gritted his teeth and made his bid, “12,500 gold coins.” As soon as his voice fell, Liza Dohm stopped her countdown. And then without any hesitation, Orochi increased the price, “13,000 gold coins.” Meanwhile, other people attending the auction watched this bidding war between Orochi and Chan Clan, with great interest. Especially, when Orochi increased the bid after a member of the Chan Clan raised the bid. Seeing that the person [Orochi], still dares to bid a higher amount after he made the bid and compete against him, Elder Jit Chan felt that the opponent (Orochi), has slapped his and his clan’s face in front of everyone present in the auction hall. He felt that Orochi has disres
226- Foundation Stabilizing Pill “The next item on today’s auction list is the Red Bamboo shell. As I mentioned earlier, Red Bamboo Shell is extremely useful for those in the Mortal realm. And if people eat the food cooked in the Red Bamboo shells, it will have great effects on one’s body and cultivation.” “Let’s start bidding for 1 Red Bamboo shell at a time.” “The starting price of each Red bamboo Shell is 500 gold coins. And each increase in bid must not be lower than 50 gold coins.” Many people attending the auction were aware of the fact that getting the Red Bamboo water is very difficult, so many of them had their sights set on the Red Bamboo Shell. So, as soon as Liza Dohm called the price, crazy bidding set off. Soon, all the Red Bamboo Shells were sold at a price range of 1000 gold
227- Auction Finale “45,000 gold coins for the third time.” “And Sold.” “Congratulations to the esteemed guest from Silver room no. 18, for obtaining the Foundation Stabilizing Pill.” Liza Dohm smiled while looking in the direction of Orochi’s room. She was somewhat surprised after looking at Orochi’s actions in today’s auction. Especially about the fact that he dared to go against powerful clans like the Chan clan, and spend lots of money in today’s auction such that his total spending in today’s auction lands him in the top 5 ranks of people who spent money in today’s auction. Although, she was surprised but it was only for a moment and in the next instance, she moved on to announce the next item on the auction list. So, like this, the au
228- Damaged Golden Armor “I am sure that many of the people sitting here are aware of Formations and Arrays.” “And you might also know that the higher the grade of Formation and Array, the bigger they are and more complex they get.” “And people who specialize in the field of Formations and Array are called as Formation and Array Guru.” “And on this brown crystal, a high grade array is drawn by an expert Array Guru.” “Due to the effects of time, we are not able to determine the grade of Array engraved on this crystal, but we are well aware of the function of the Array.” Seeing that everyone was looking at her eagerly for the answer, she smiled and continued, “The array engraved on the brown crystal is a kind of array which forms a barrier around the one who wears this golden armor and protects from enemy attacks.” Hearing this everyone was surprised and looked incredulously at the golden armor. Although, more than a quarter of people attending the auction bou
229- Auction Ends Orochi, who was sitting in his room, was closely observing the golden armor through the ‘Object Magnifying Glass’. Even before Liza Dohm released all the details about the golden armor, Orochi knew every detail about it. Actually, he knew much more about the golden armor than compared to Liza Dohm. When he was at the Leon Clan, he used to go and read books in the Leon Clan Library, and in those books, he would especially look at this world’s history, culture, etc. One time, he was reading a book related to some kingdom that was destroyed a few hundred years ago. And in that book, he came across a peculiar-looking armor, which resembled the Golden armor that is on the stage. And of course, the reason why he remembered that particular armor was because its design and its look, gave the vibes of his previous world. When the golden armor was brought onto the stage, Orochi immediately used the ‘Observation’ skill on it. . ‘ding’ Golden Arm
