Kapitel 144: Chapter 144: Bidding War for Geocentric Esne!

Hearing that the next auction item was the Geocentric Esne, Huang Xiaolong's eyes lit up.

Finally, it's here!

Huang Xiaolong looked down towards the stage, watching as an auction house staff member cautiously brought a jade bottle up onto the stage, and the auctioneer received it with a serious face.

The jade bottle was a warm, jade green color, full of life and spirit.

The auctioneer carefully placed the green jade bottle on a table and looked around at the guests before he said: "I trust everyone is aware of the miraculous benefits of Geocentric Esne and without further explanation, I won't ramble on and waste everyone's time. This jade bottle was made from high-grade jade heart, and inside it contains the Geocentric Esne. Inside this jade bottle, no matter how much time passes, its medicinal benefits will be retained and there is a total of six drops!"

Six drops!

Another wave of excitement rushed through the guests in the hall.

Huang Xiaolong was also stunned.

It crossed his mind that at most, it would be two drops of Geocentric Esne being auctioned. After all, for a treasure like the Geocentric Esne, being able to take two drops for auction was already fortuitous.

The formation of one drop of Geocentric Esne takes ten thousand years, maybe even a dozen thousand years.

"The starting bid for this bottle of Geocentric Esne is three million!" In the next moment, the auctioneer announced a figure that made most of the forces miss a beat.

Three million!

If it was Huang Clan Manor of the past, they would never be able to come out with a sum of three million even if they sold the entire Huang Clan Manor!

The small and medium forces that were looking forward to bidding for the Geocentric Esne felt like they were drenched in a cold hail storm from head to toe, they could only give up on the intention of bidding for it.

"Three million one hundred thousand!" Despite that, mere moments after the auctioneer's voice fell, a bid was called out from one of the private guests room.

Huang Xiaolong looked over towards the number nine room because the owner of the voice sounded familiar.

"It's Yang Zheng's voice!" Fei Hou said.

Yang Zheng's voice! The truth struck Huang Xiaolong, no wonder he had felt that the voice sounded familiar. He did not think of Yang Zheng, but Fei Hou definitely could tell who the owner was if it was Yang Zheng.

Yang Zheng…then, it means Yang An, Yang Dong, and whoever from the Yang Family were in room nine?

"Three million five hundred thousand!" And seconds later, another voice sounded from private guest room eleven.

Huang Xiaolong's head snapped around– in the direction of room eleven, it was Ning Wang! This voice belonged to the Martial Ning Family's Patriarch Ning Wang!

Then, room twelve bid: "Three million six hundred thousand!"

Big Sword Sect Yu Chen's voice!

Huang Xiaolong sneered– none of the people made a sound in the earlier bids, but now that the main course was here, they couldn't sit still anymore, revealing themselves

He was sure these people knew he sat at room five since he made a bid for the South Parting long sword for his little sister.

"Five million!" After Big Sword Sect's Yu Chen voice just ended, Huang Xiaolong charged up the number, stretching his five fingers lazily.

Five million! The number hit the guests like a thunderbolt, and it seemed to echo for a long time in the huge auction hall, reverberating in the eardrums.

"Five million!"

"Who, who is sitting in private room five?"

"It sounds like Huang Xiaolong!"

The revelation of this identity caused huge waves amongst the people below.

Sitting in room eleven, Ning Wang sneered contemptuously, "This little doggy Huang really is filthy rich, simply throwing out five million." Then, he shouted: "Six million!" After raising his bid, Ning Wang even threw a provocative look towards room five.

"Six million one hundred thousand!"

This voice didn't belong to Huang Xiaolong, and neither was it Yu Chen. It originated from private room two.

Ning Wang was stunned.

"Six million three hundred thousand!" The guest at private room one called out.

"Six million four hundred thousand!"

"Six million seven hundred thousand!"

The price rose like a wave on high tide, and in the blink of an eye, it surpassed seven million.

Below, the small and medium forces nearly had their hearts jump out of their throats listening to the bids being called out. Six million and seven million were figures they dared not imagine.

"Seven million one hundred thousand!" Yu Chen's voice sounded again.

"Ten million!" In the next moment, Huang Xiaolong's voice sounded like a thunderbolt, falling into every corner of the auction hall.

Ten million!

Hearing this figure nearly made some of the smaller forces Patriarch's fall off their seats with a horrified expression on their faces, including Ning Wang, Yu Chen, Yang Zheng, and everyone else in other private rooms.

The auctioneer blanked, forgetting to react in that moment.

Ten million was a shocking figure. If they piled ten million gold coins in the center of the auction hall, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was a mountain of gold.

The auction hall was unable to quiet down for a long time.

A long time had passed, yet everyone was still in shock.

"The guest in private room five made a bid of ten million, would anyone else like to raise the bid?" The auctioneer finally found his voice and spoke, quieting the ruckus happening in the huge hall.

But, before they could come down from their shock, someone made a higher bid: "Ten million one hundred thousand!"

All the guests had a dumb, stupefied look on their faces.

Ten million one hundred thousand! There was actually someone that bid higher?! All the heads turned towards the source of the voice−- room eleven! Martial Ning Family Patriarch Ning Wang's voice!

The corner of Huang Xiaolong's mouth curved up in a cold sneer hearing Ning Wang call out. Judging from the situation, people from the Clear Cloud Pavilion were also here? Only a force like Clear Cloud Pavilion would still be willing to bid after the price reached ten million! Although the Martial Ning Family had the status as one of the super families in the Baolong Kingdom, Ning Wang himself, however, wouldn't be willing to take out more than ten million of his own money to war with him.

"Twenty million!" Still caught amidst the shock brought by Ning Wang's ten million one hundred thousand, Huang Xiaolong's voice jarred the crowd.

Hearing "twenty million" was like watching and listening to a giant bolt of lightning cutting across the clear sky, their brains and eardrums seemed to buzz forever with the words 'twenty million'. They didn't even know where they currently were, at the moment.

The auctioneer's hammer froze in the air as he was shocked silly.

Big Sword Sect Yu Chen froze in his seat.

Yang Zheng, Yang Dong, and Yang An all froze.

Sitting next to Ning Wang in private room number eleven was a lean old man. A cold light flitted across his eyes, and his cold voice sounded: "Twenty million to bid for Geocentric Esne; this Huang Xiaolong is truly one of a kind, no wonder even you are afraid of him!"

Ning Wang became embarrassed from the old man's words, but he did not refute them. In fact, there were traces of trepidation on his face when facing this old man wearing a robe that signified the Clear Cloud Pavilion.

"This little punk must be insane to buy Geocentric Esne for twenty million!" In private room nine, Yang Zheng snorted coldly.

Although Geocentric Esne was a miraculous drug, it only had effects on warriors below the Xiantian realm, and it didn't have much effect for a Xiantian expert. Hence, using twenty million to bid for this Geocentric Esne, everyone including Yang Zheng felt that it wasn't worth it.

Shocked whispers rose and fell endlessly in the auction house.

Nonetheless, amidst the shocked crowd, Huang Xiaolong got the Geocentric Esne at twenty million!

After Huang Xiaolong paid the twenty million gold coins, the steward himself came up to place the bottle of Geocentric Esne in Huang Xiaolong's hands. Holding the jade heart green bottle, Huang Xiaolong was ecstatic inside; finally, it was in his hands!

In the eyes of others, this Geocentric Esne was not worth twenty million, but to Huang Xiaolong's Nine Tripod Commerce, what it lacked most was not money. And in Huang Xiaolong's eyes, it was worth every gold coin. With this, he could definitely advance into peak late-Tenth Order before the end of the year Academy's annual competition.

After successfully bidding for the Geocentric Esne, the next item was a high-grade Earth rank cultivation technique. Although a high-grade Earth rank cultivation technique was rare, the price it fetched was way worse than the Geocentric Esne. 


Kapitel 145: Chapter 145: News of Yu Ming

After the high-grade Earth rank cultivation technique was auctioned, the auctioneer put up a high-grade Earth rank battle skill.

This high-grade Earth rank battle skill was called Noble Rebel Swordplay, and Huang Xiaolong used five million to bid on it for Huang Min. The little girl had always leaned towards swords and sword skills.

Soon, the auction ended.

Huang Xiaolong and his group left the auction house and returned to Tianxuan Mansion directly.

Although it was no secret that the Geocentric Esne was bought by Huang Xiaolong, no one dared to block their path in a robbery attempt.

After all, at Huang Xiaolong's sides were Marshal Haotian and Fei Hou−two Xiantian experts.

Stepping into Tianxuan Mansion, Huang Xiaolong hurried off to his room, initiated the God Binding Ring, and entered the ancient battlefield to start his closed-door practice.

In the ancient battlefield, Huang Xiaolong sat down in a meditative position and took the green jade heart bottle out from the Asura Ring. Uncorking the bottle, an ambrosia-like fragrance instantly wafted out from it.

This fragrance was similar to an aged wine that had been fermenting deep in the ground for many years, and just a whiff was enough to make people drunk, opening the pores.

Huang Xiaolong peeped into the green jade heart bottle and saw that inside there was a few drops of milky white liquid that had a thick viscosity. As he continued to look, there seemed to be a magical allure to this white liquid that made people unable to shift their eyes away. It was a hypnotic effect on the mind that made people want to drown in that feeling.

A while later, Huang Xiaolong managed to pull himself out from the hallucinatory state while feeling shocked in his heart.

Steeling his mind, Huang Xiaolong gulped all the Geocentric Esne into his mouth, swallowing everything in one go. Even though taking everything in one go was a little too much, a treasure with such medicinal energy like that which was within the Geocentric Esne did not act violently; thus, it wouldn't bring negative side effects from overconsumption.

As six drops of Geocentric Esne slid down his throat, the fragrant scent filled his mouth, flooding into every corner of Huang Xiaolong's body. Huang Xiaolong had never tasted anything so fragrant and delicious.

The effect was instantaneous. Warm strands of energy spread throughout his body and Huang Xiaolong quickly ran Asura Tactics to refine these warm energies. While Huang Xiaolong was refining them, the battle qi in his meridians and Qi Sea was roaring as it condensed, and the area of his Qi Sea expanded.

At the same time, the netherworld battle qi in Huang Xiaolong's Qi Sea began a liquefaction process, transforming from a gaseous state to a liquid one.

When this process started, more and more gas from the battle qi condensed, turning into liquid form.

The twin dragon martial spirits behind Huang Xiaolong devoured the spiritual energy greedily, and black and blue lights were scintillating as their primordial divine dragon scales fell off one by one! As these scales fell, newly thicker, shinier scales rapidly grew and replaced the old.

Huang Xiaolong ran Asura Tactics one full cycle after another, continuously refining the warm energies that came from the Geocentric Esne!

In the ancient battlefield, there was a distinction between night and day.

Light came and went, and so it repeated many times over until at one point, a brilliant light broke out of Huang Xiaolong's body and he suddenly shuddered.

The peak late-Tenth Order, he finally broke through!

Joy wrapped around Huang Xiaolong's heart, but he persisted in refining the energy coming from the Geocentric Esne while the battle qi in his meridians and Qi Sea had nearly all liquefied into liquid form.

Huang Xiaolong only stopped when he had refined every shred of medicinal energy coming from the Geocentric Esne.

Opening his eyes, Huang Xiaolong let out a roar facing the sky, something akin to a primordial dragon's growl, echoing in the ancient battlefield for a long time.

Peak late-Tenth Order!

Though he did not manage to step into the Xiantian realm, he had the confidence to fight someone that had just entered the Xiantian realm if he soul transformed with the twin dragons. Even killing them was not a problem!

Taking a deep breath to calm down, Huang Xiaolong exited the ancient battlefield.

Walking out, he passed by his little sister Huang Min's yard and heard sounds of sword practice that made him halt his steps. He walked in and saw that Huang Min was practicing her swordplay in the yard.

The long sword in Huang Min's hand was the very same one Huang Xiaolong bought for her from the Thousand Treasures Auction: the South Parting long sword.

The sword skill that Huang Min was practicing had very strange movements. Whilst the sword was attacking, the front of her body would suddenly spin, allowing her to thrust the long sword in the opposite direction. Just as the tip of the sword stabbed to the back, her wrist would turn the attack once again to concentrate to the front.

"This is Noble Rebel Swordplay?" Huang Xiaolong spoke.

Hearing Huang Xiaolong's voice, Huang Min stopped her practice and turned around. Her eyes sparkled as she ran over to Huang Xiaolong's side: "Big brother, you've finally come out from closed-door practice."

Huang Xiaolong smiled: "How long was I in practice this time?"

"Almost three months." Huang Min answered.

Three months!

This greatly surprised Huang Xiaolong– he did not expect that three months had already passed! Fortunately, he did not miss the timing for the Academy's annual competition.

"Oh right, Big brother, Senior Fei Hou looked for you a few times, saying that he has something to report to you." Huang Min said.

Huang Xiaolong nodded to indicate he understood. Then, he guided his little sister on her sword practice before he left her courtyard and headed to the main hall. He sent someone to call for Fei Hou as he waited.

"Sovereign, you're finally out!" Seeing Huang Xiaolong, Fei Hou had a happy expression on his face as he quickly added, "Sovereign, there's good news! There's a message from Master!"

"What, there's news from Yu Ming?!" Huang Xiaolong blanked for a moment before delight set in. This was indeed great news!

"Where's your Master now?" Huang Xiaolong asked.

"Several days ago, I and Senior Brother Haotian received Master's message. Master said he would arrive in Luo Tong Kingdom in two months' time, and this time, he would be coming together with the Left Custodian!" Fei Hou said with clear respect in his voice.

Left Custodian Zhao Shu!

Huang Xiaolong beamed.

Ever since Yu Ming left and there had been no news of him, Huang Xiaolong worried that his Senior Brother Chen Tianqi somehow found out about him and would bring about a disaster on the Huang Family. But now, as long as Left Custodian was there, he would have a Saint realm expert beside him. This had now risen the guaranteed safety of the Tianxuan Mansion to another level.

Two more months.

That meant their arrival would be close to the end of the year; Yu Ming and Zhao Shu would finally arrive in Luo Tong Royal City.

"Are there any movements from Big Sword Sect, Martial Ning Family, or Clear Cloud Pavilion recently?" Huang Xiaolong gathered his thoughts and asked Fei Hou.

"Half a month ago, Big Sword Sect's Lin Zhiren advanced into the Xiantian realm and a grand celebration was held. They invited many forces in the Baolong Kingdom for the banquet. The Martial Ning Family and Clear Cloud Pavilion seemed to be hatching something secretly, and during these past few months, Ning Wang and Clear Cloud Pavilion's Vice-Pavilion Master Ke Yu have become very close." Fei Hou reported the events that took place one by one.

"Ke Yu?" Huang Xiaolong puzzled.

"Yes, this Ke Yu is a Xiantian Second Order warrior and a big beauty as well." Fei Hou replied: "Ning Wang probably has some goodwill towards this Ke Yu."

Huang Xiaolong nodded.

At first, Huang Xiaolong did not have full confidence in destroying the Big Sword Sect, Martial Ning Family, and the Clear Cloud Pavilion after breaking through to the Xiantian realm in the coming days. However, in two months' time, when Yu Ming and Zhao Shu arrived, Big Sword Sect, Martial Ning Family, and the Clear Cloud Pavilion wouldn't be able to escape annihilation!

Huang Xiaolong made a decision that once these two people arrived, he would make a trip to the Baolong Kingdom with them.

"Sovereign, there is another matter. Recently, there have been many clashes between our Tianxuan Mansion guards and the Prime Minister's Manor." Fei Hou hesitated as he brought the issue up.

"Prime Minister's Manor?" Cold light glinted in Huang Xiaolong's eyes, "What is the matter?"

[1] Custodian – person who has responsibility for or looks after something. i.e the custodian of a relic.
