Monarch Of Time

Chapter 109 - 109 Wine fervor

ʼʼOur next item was originally meant to be the finale for todayʼs auction and it is something that is rarely found even in the annual auctions of our pavilion.ʼʼ

Lan Jinjing smiled when she saw that she had captured the crowdʼs attention as she then pointed at the yellow scroll and continued

ʼʼThis item is something that an outer disciple of our sect found during a sect mission, and I am certain that many of the Elders from the big families here today will want to get their hands on.It is a middle yellow-grade martial skill.ʼʼ

The moment that Lan Jinjing finished speaking, the crowd exploded with excitement.

ʼʼA middle yellow-grade martial skill? Now I understand why the ʼTreasure Pavilionʼ had miss Lan be the auctioneer for today. Even low yellow-grade martial skills are rare, let alone a middle yellow-grade.ʼʼ

ʼʼBut then, why is this not the final item for this auction? Even miss Lan said that this was originally scheduled to be for the auctionʼs finale. Could it be that the final item is something even better?ʼʼ

ʼʼCould it be a high yellow-grade martial skill then?ʼʼ

ʼʼDonʼt be an idiot! Even the big families of the sect donʼt have a high yellow-grade martial skill. Probably only the Liu family will have one.ʼʼ

It wasnʼt just the people in the outer seats that had turned excited, but so were the Elders in the private rooms, as they were already on their feet.

Even Shun Long was now interested in this, as he had seen a martial skill only once, back in the Demonic Mountain region when Guan Hong had injured the rank 2 ʼearth bearʼ.

ʼʼThe name of this martial skill is the ʼCoiling python fistʼ and its starting price is at 100.000 sect points. Every increment must also be at least 1000 sect points higher than the last bid.ʼʼ

The starting price of this ʼCoiling python fistʼ was like a bucket of cold water splashing on everyoneʼs faces.

Even Shun Long didnʼt have so many sect points left in his sect jade.

However, the Elders in the private rooms werenʼt daunted in the slightest by the high price of the martial skill. After all, one of the things that the big families didnʼt lack was precisely sect points.

ʼʼ101.000ʼʼ

ʼʼ103.000ʼʼ

ʼʼ105.000ʼʼ

At the same time that the Elders of the big families were fighting over the ʼCoiling python fistʼ, inside private room number 4, fatty Fu was respectfully looking at an old man who was sitting on the couch inside the room.

This old man who was dressed in black robes and was holding a cane in his right hand was the old patriarch of the Fu family, as well as fatty Fuʼs grandfather, Fu Lingtian.

Fu Lingtian had a serious expression on his face as he looked his grandson before he asked

ʼʼAre you sure that Meng Shao, that old fox, is here today?ʼʼ

Fu Li looked at his grandfather and nodded his head seriously as he responded

ʼʼIʼm sure grandpa. When the old patriarch of the Meng family arrived, the disciples stationed at the entrance immediately informed me about it.ʼʼ

When Fu Lingtian heard this, he stood up and slammed his cane on the wooden floor of the private room as he cursed

ʼʼDamn it! Since that old man is also here, there is no question that he must be here for the wine as well.ʼʼ

At the same time in private room number 6, a similar conversation was also taking place between Meng Shengyi and his own grandfather, when Lan Jinjingʼs voice once again sounded in everyoneʼs ears as she said

ʼʼCongratulations to the guest in private room number 11 for obtaining the ʼCoiling python fistʼ.ʼʼ

Then, the ʼTreasure Pavilionʼ sent someone to deliver the middle yellow-grade martial skill, as well as receive their payment for it, before a silver robed Elder who was carefully carrying a wooden barrel then appeared atop the main stage.

The entire auction hall was so silent that even a personʼs breathing could be heard, as everyone watched Ma Tengfei place the wooden barrel in the middle of the main stage. People like Fu Lingtian and Meng Shao, had already stood up as they were eagerly waiting to see the contents inside the barrel.

Lan Jinjing smiled lightly as she said

ʼʼHonorable guests of our ʼTreasure Pavilionʼ, it is finally time for the finale of todayʼs auction.ʼʼ

As her voice trailed off, Ma Tengfeiʼs hands slowly removed the barrelʼs top, and an intoxicating fragrance started to spread throughout the outer seats of the auction hall.

The crowd erupted in an uproar as the disciples in the outer seats had already started to get drunk just from the wineʼs scent.

ʼʼWhat is this wine? How is it so fragrant?ʼʼ

ʼʼI have never smelled anything like this before.ʼʼ

ʼʼThis... just the scent of this wine is 100 times... no 1000 times greater than the best wine of our sect, the ʼMystifying Fragrance wineʼ!ʼʼ

ʼʼAh that may be true, however the taste of this wine may not be as good as its scent.ʼʼ

Lan Jinjing then sealed the barrelʼs top back as she started explaining

ʼʼThis is todayʼs auction final item, the ʼmysterious wineʼ. This wine was created by a mysterious senior alchemist, who merged many precious herbs before fermenting the wine for 100 years. Both the taste of the wine, as well as its effects have all been verified by the senior alchemist of our ʼTreasure Pavilionʼ.ʼʼ

She then pointed towards Ma Tengfei, who nodded his head as he said

ʼʼThis is definitely the best wine that our ʼTreasure Pavilionʼ has ever seen. I can personally assure you that, not only is the wineʼs taste incomparable with any other wine that I have ever tasted, but even my cultivation base slightly improved after tasting this wine.ʼʼ

ʼʼWhat?ʼʼ

This time, it wasnʼt just the people in the outer seats that were shocked, but even the Elders inside the private rooms were dumbfounded.

Although the message from the ʼTreasure Pavilionʼ had said that the ʼmysterious wineʼ could improve oneʼs cultivation, everyone had assumed that the effects would be non-existent to Heaven grade experts. And yet a rank 6 Heaven grade expert had just said that this wine had improved his cultivation base.

What did this mean?

For those people like Meng Shao and Fu Lingtian who had been stuck in the same realm for many years, even the slightest increase in their cultivation could prove to be their breakthrough factor.

A huge uproar then erupted once again in the auction hall, as even the people from the private rooms now couldnʼt sit still as they all waited for the bidding to begin.

Lan Jinjing knew that the crowd couldnʼt stay quiet any longer so she finally spoke

ʼʼThe senior who is selling this wine, has told our pavilion that he isnʼt interested in sect points. He has declared that the wine must be purchased using spirit stones. Our ʼTreasure Pavilionʼ decided, for the starting bid to be at 1000 spirit stones, while every increment must be at least 50 spirit stones higher than the last bid.ʼʼ
