Capítulo 576: Chapter 576. Wealth rank for powers.
The auctioneer waited for the first item to roll inside on a moving platform.
After it got to the middle of the stage, the woman smiled and presented the weapon.
"The first Heaven-Ranked item is the low-level [Gorge Slashing Scythe]. Forged with [Deep Valley Grass Ore], the blade of this weapon can cut through everything. The Astral Sky Clan master forgers created this item! Most of their Heaven Ranked items have an in-built size adaptability function, so do not feel discouraged because of their size. This item will adapt regardless of your size. If you do not believe, we've tested them; even giants and hand-sized creatures can use it."
The auctioneer smiled. "The other properties of this item are not about combat, but as a scythe, it allows the wielder to harvest wild plants without damaging their essence."
People around exclaimed in awe.
"That's right. It is a rare treasure-hunting weapon. The starting price, after comprehensive tests of their durability, longevity, strength, and energy conductibility, the initial price will be 400 Flawless Parus with a minimal increment of forty Flawless Parus."
Tengliu was surprised. "So expensive?"
"400!"
"440!"
"550!"
"600!"
Yasenia blinked. "Well, it sells."
Tengliu nodded. "Hm… The treasure-hunting feature must be quite attractive. Does it really work?"
Yasenia nodded.
"I see. However, low-level Heaven-ranked treasures in these areas of the continent usually sell for fifty or sixty Flawless Parus."
The dragoness agreed. "However, this auction doesn't have normal guests. Your presence makes it quite clear."
"The [Glass Scale Lamia Clan] bids eight hundred flawless Parus!"
The dragoness perked her ears. "Oh? The first time I've heard their name."
Tatyana nodded. "Probably an herb-master between them wanted it."
"Eight hundred going once… Eight hundred going twice… Eight Hundred going Three times… And eight hundred going four times! Sold to the Seventh Ranked Power in the Thirty-Three Clans!"
Yasenia looked at Carbira and smiled. "Did you ask them to increase the prize as I told you?"
Carbira nodded. "I only asked for your item's pricing to be reviewed, though. I said that they have superior quality, and if they don't believe me, to make a test. After a few hours, they agreed with my proposal."
Tengliu was impressed by the sale. "I completely underestimated the pockets of the people attending this auction."
Yasenia leaned on Tengliu and smiled. "Aunty Tengliu, if you have a scythe user with a worse weapon than that one, I recommend buying one from us back at home~. It is a weapon worth at least 600 flawless Parus. The limit I personally would place for the bid would be 900."
Tengliu laughed and rubbed her face with Yasenia's again. "Are you sweet-talking me into buying your items, child?"
Ghana spoke. "Matriarch, Yasenia's estimation is accurate. The quality of the herbs collected by that item is at least three times higher. If they happen to find an exceptional plant, the value of the Scythe will pay itself."
Tengliu looked at Ghana's sincere eyes and nodded. She wasn't doubting that. Her surprise was about the ability of someone in this remote town to be able to pay this much. 'Maybe my six million Parus are not enough later…'
After selling the Scythe, the next item was also from the Astral Sky Clan.
"This item is a beautiful pair of claws. It is a scarce item to be created as a Heaven-ranked because of the rarity of users for it. The [Volcanic Tiger Claw] is an item that specializes in offense, and even the sturdiest armor will have trouble not getting affected by it. The ability to heat up its surroundings and also heat up any item it touches makes it an annoyance that many would not want to deal with."
"The starting price is two hundred Flawless Parus with a minimum increment of twenty!"
Tengliu's eyes shone with interest.
Yasenia smiled and commented. "I wouldn't pay more than six hundred. For more than that, it should be worth asking us to do it back at home."
Bids began flying, and the price reached 400 Parus very quickly.
Tengliu entered the bid with her name.
"Lady Tengliu has bids 450 flawless Parus!"
"The Nine Molten Hammer Sect is not giving up, and they have increased the price to 500!"
Tengliu snorted. "560."
"The price skyrockets to 560 by Matriarch Tengliu."
"The Nine Molten Hammer Sect responds with a 580 bid!"
"Lady Tengliu increases it to six hundred. Will the Nine Sect back down or answer?"
A gruff voice comes from one of the VIP rooms. "650."
Yasenia whispered. "You can stop, Aunty Tengliu. I will ask my blacksmiths to create one pair of claws for you later."
Tengliu nodded and smooched Yasenia's cheek. "I had the intention to stop. You said it was not worth more than 600, after all."
Yasenia smiled.
"650 going once, 650 going twice, 650 going three times… 650 going four times! Sold to the Nine Molten Hammer Sect!"
Yasenia looked at Carbira and smiled. "See, Carbira? I told you they would be willing to pay as long as it isn't outrageous. However, remember that these prices are correct because of the event. Later, reaching these prices in this auction house will be a pipe dream."
Carbira muttered. "It sold for the usual price of a used and slightly damaged mid-level Heaven-ranked treasure. It's quite outrageous, really."
Ghana nodded. "That's true. Mid-level heaven-ranked treasures usually range from 1,000 flawless Parus to 10,000 flawless Parus in Koran City. Or, well, the four I've seen around here in the past sold at those prices."
Tengliu shook her head. "That's wrong. Mid-level Heaven-ranked treasures are thousands of times more uncommon than low-level ones. The same goes for high-level compared to middle-level and peak-level compared to high-level. Not to mention those above that quality are so scarce that not even all the leaders have one."
Carbira nodded. "I researched after my blunder and discussed it in depth with our Brilliant Auction House Leader. The lowest prices are indeed about 5,000 Flawless Parus. However, there are records of mid-level items selling for a value equivalent to 100,000 Flawless Parus."
Even Yasenia was stunned this time.
Tengliu agreed. "They can fetch really high prices if conditions are met. That's why I said that my six million is not that much. If I'm lucky, I want to buy a high-level or peak-level item."
Yasenia took out a communication device and hastily messaged her store. "Are the mid-level Heaven-ranked items sold?"
"Lady Yasenia, they are not. The people who came asked if we accepted delayed payments, but as you commanded, we only accept payments in situ for Heaven-ranked items, or they can reserve them. So, they left to gather the capital to buy them."
"What are their prices right now?"
"They range from 2,000 to 4,000 flawless Parus."
Yasenia sighed. "I almost made a big loss. Multiply their prices by ten."
"E-Excuse me?"
"You heard me. They are welcome to wait for my return if they have any complaints. I will speak with them directly when I come back from the auction house."
Yasenia then stopped the communication device.
Tengliu, Tatyana, Ghana, and Cecile felt amused.
Tengliu chuckled. "You are so greedy, child."
Ghana commented. "Yasenia, don't worry. I had already delayed the buyers of those items and was about to comment on it to you in today's meeting at night."
Yasenia nodded. "This time, it was also my oversight. Tengliu, I hope you teach me about the continent's economy a bit deeper. My information about really wealthy places is non-existent."
Cecile blinked and asked. "My love, what if they don't sell?"
Yasenia answered to Cecile. "If they are that scarce, they will sell. Even if we sell one a century, it is worth it. It's like a passive income of 400 Flawless Parus a year. That's enough to support a low-level Second-Rate power."
Tengliu nodded. "Third-rate powers spend between 1 and 20 Flawless Parus a year. Second-rate powers spend between 100 and 10,000,000 Flawless Parus annually, depending on their size. First-ranked powers spending is already managed in billions because of the sheer size and materials they need."
Tengliu commented. "The richest power, the Holy Best Empire, is estimated to have a combined value of a few trillions of Flawless Parus."
Yasenia nodded. "I see."
The auction continued, and Yasenia used 2,200 of her remaining 3,000 Flawless Parus to buy four Low-level Heaven-ranked items that piqued her interest.
They were a tattoo master ink brush, a gem-embedder tool, a jewelry knife, and a cooking oven.
She used the Astral Sky Clan name to buy them and try to see if the Fu clan would meddle in the prices.
To Yasenia's surprise, they stayed quiet and didn't interrupt her bidding.
Tengliu pouted. "Why did you not use my name? I wanted you to throw it around like a spoiled child."
Yasenia laughed, and Tatyana condemned jokingly. "I don't believe you don't understand the reason. Little treasure, don't fall into her seduction trap. She wants your kisses of consolation!"
Tengliu looked at Tatyana with resentment. "Oy! Can you let me pamper your daughter? I want her to smile at me and call me Aunty while she smooches my cheek!"
Tatyana smirked and stole Yasenia's lips. Then, while caressing her melting daughter, she answered. "I don't want to share ~."
Tengliu rolled her eyes and buried her face in Yasenia's neck. "You are a miser."
Cecile stood up and yanked Yasenia out of their embrace, leaving the two seniors blinking.
The overbearing Phoenix woman placed Yasenia on another couch and straddled her while surrounding her with her wings and burying her face in Yasenia's neck.
She didn't stop there; she also released her powerful Ancient Beast scent and destroyed all scents on her.
Yasenia laughed and hugged her sweetheart tightly. "A bit needy of me?"
Cecile snorted and kissed Yasenia's neck softly. "They've hogged you for many hours already. Now, it is my turn."
Yasenia's tail moved and entangled with Cecile's three phoenix tails as she kissed her sweetheart. "Okay. Now it's my sweetheart's turn to be pampered."
Cecile answered with a cute, nasal sound. "En."
Tengliu felt her wings empty without the voluptuous dragoness between them and sulked for a millisecond.
Then, she smiled like a flower. "Cecile, dearest, can I sit by your side? You are straddling her, after all. I won't bother you if I'm sitting at your side."
Cecile was leaning on Yasenia. She turned her head a bit lazily and snorted without any meaning.
Of course, the Harpy Matriarch was the Matriarch of the most shameless race, so she acted with her nature.
"So you accept? You are such a good girl~."
Before Cecile could blink, Tengliu had used every single bit of her cultivation to basically teleport to their side, resting on Yasenia's side and below her wing.
Cecile felt her eyebrow twitch. 'I couldn't see her movements.'
Tatyana calmly stood up and went to Yasenia's other side.
Now, the dragoness was squished between three people instead of two. Not that she hated it, mind you.
Our dragoness was not someone who would refuse pampering!
Tatyana thought about something and asked Tengliu. "Why don't you have children?"
Tengliu sighed and explained it a bit more in detail.
***************************************************
Yasenia: Buying four items is not bad.
Tatyana: It really is not.
Evelyn: I feel my lack of presence in these last chapters.
Kali/Andrea/Angel: You are right.
Author: Well, it's Tatyana's fault for making that explosion so harsh.
Tatyana: Oy!
Author: Hahaha. I summon you!
????: Hello!
Kali: Um…
Author: Anonymous dear~.
Andrea: I see.
????: Tatyana, How would she have reacted if Yasenia had lost her memory from her concussion during the ambush? She got hit on the head so badly that she lost consciousness for a little bit.
Tatyana: That would've been adorable~.
????: ????
Evelyn: Pfft, seeing an interrogation mark answer with interrogation marks is too funny.
Tatyana: I mean, unless the soul is damaged, memory loss is only temporal. Hence, it would've been funny being with a foolish and innocent Yasenia for a while.
????: That's an answer I didn't expect. What about the others?
Andrea: If it really works like that, then it certainly could've been interesting.
Cecile: As long as she is not really hurt, I don't really care.
Angel: I would pamper Yasenia this time!
Evelyn: I could teach her to be a super sadist-
*BANG!*
Kali: I would take care of her and aid her recovery… Also, playing with her would be fun.
????: I see.
Author: Well, this is all for today! Bye-bye~.
