The System Arrives: Leading My Clan to Become the Strongest

20: Auction of Chapters”Senior, wake up, the auction is about to begin.”

The maid Xiao He stepped forward and softly called out to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen woke up at that moment. He hadn’t expected that while he only meant to squint for a while, he would actually fall asleep unknowingly. This gave him a cold sweat; luckily this was the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower. If it were anywhere else, then... The awakened Jiang Chen stood up and walked to the window to take a look.

At this moment, inside the auction hall.

The flow of people had almost filled the entire hall to capacity.

However, even though the hall was full, his private booth did not feel noisy at all.

Just then, a young girl with a pure countenance, about sixteen years of age, whose every smile and gesture made people feel as comfortable as a spring breeze, walked onto the auction stage.

As the girl stepped onto the stage, the hall immediately fell silent.

”Hello everyone, I am today’s Auctioneer, Mu Yao. I won’t waste words; let us welcome the first auction item.”

After Mu Yao finished speaking, she swiped her right hand over her left, and a wooden box appeared in her hand.

It turned out the item was taken out from the storage ring she wore on her left hand.

”The first auction item, a Yellow Rank Medium Grade Martial Skill—Blazing Sun Palm. The starting price is one thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, with each bid increase of no less than one hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones. Let the bidding begin!”

A Yellow Rank Medium Grade Martial Skill!

Hearing the voice from the stage,

the people below immediately began to bid.

”One thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones!”

”One thousand one hundred!”

”One thousand two hundred!”

”...”

Scattered bidding voices rang out one after another.

Hearing it was a Yellow Rank Medium Grade Martial Skill, Jiang Chen had some interest, but considering it was a palm technique, he immediately hesitated.

In his view, for those who Cultivate techniques like fist and foot techniques, even if they reach a profound level of mastery, they are still not as effective as weapons.

Although some people’s hand and foot techniques are perfected to the point of being difficult to harm with blades, those are only ordinary swords. Try using a Spiritual Artifact and see if your limbs are tougher or my Spiritual Qi is tougher.

While Jiang Chen was pondering, the Blazing Sun Palm was eventually bought by a middle-aged man in the hall for 5,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

”Congratulations to this guest for winning the Blazing Sun Palm...”

”Next is the second auction item of this auction, a Tier 1 Top Grade Magic Treasure—the green feather sword!”

On the stage, Mu Yao introduced the second auction item she had just taken out of her storage ring.

As Mu Yao opened the long wooden box, a longsword with a blade emitting a cyan flowing light appeared before everyone’s eyes.

*Hiss...*

In the hall, sounds of people drawing in cold air rang out continuously. A Tier 1 Top Grade Magic Treasure—how long has it been since one appeared in Tianfeng City?

One must know that the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the city only use Tier 1 High Grade Magic Treasures.

Jiang Chen was also somewhat excited seeing the Tier 1 Top Grade Magic Treasure. How long had it been for his Jiang Family? The entire Family didn’t have a single decent Magic Treasure, let alone a Top Grade one.

Moreover, it was a Flying Sword. Compared to practicing fist and foot techniques, practicing the sword is a lifelong pursuit. A sword is a killing tool, and being cool is all that matters.

Thinking about One Sword Comes From The West, chilling nineteen provinces, how cool would that be?

Feeling that the timing was right, Mu Yao then said sweetly on the stage:

”Tier 1 Top Grade Magic Treasure, green feather sword. The starting price is five thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, with each bid increase of no less than one hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones. Let the bidding begin!”

”Fifty thousand.”

Jiang Chen spoke, his voice traveling out of the booth and echoing in the hall. He didn’t plan to wait; being aggressive was all that mattered.

As Jiang Chen’s voice fell, some people who were just about to bid shut their mouths one after another, some almost losing their breath.

They all speculated who the person in that booth was, to actually flip the table directly, leaving them with no sense of participation at all.

”The guest in Booth Xuan-9 bids 50,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones. Are there any higher bids?”

On the stage, Mu Yao reacted quickly and then asked the crowd in the hall.

However, at this moment, they did not continue to bid, and the same was true for the people in the other booths.

One must know that 50,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones could already buy a Tier 1 Low Grade Spiritual Artifact. Buying this Tier 1 Top Grade Magic Treasure was purely a loss-making deal.

”50,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones for the first time...”

”50,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones for the second time...”

”50,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones for the third time! Congratulations to this guest for winning the Tier 1 Top Grade green feather sword!”

Soon, someone delivered the green feather sword to Jiang Chen’s hand, and Jiang Chen settled the Spirit Stones on the spot.

This scene left Xiao He, standing to the side, dazed with envy. Fifty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, how much would that be? Would she even be worth that much if she sold herself?

”Next is the third auction item...”

Next, Mu Yao continued the auction, and items were won one after another.

Meanwhile, in a private booth.

”Liu Sheng, go investigate who is in Booth Xuan-9.”

”Yes, Family Head.”

A cold middle-aged man responded and walked out of the booth.

In another booth.

”Uncle Fu, go check on the person in Booth Xuan-9.”

”Yes, Family Head.”

An old man with a hunched back walked out of the booth.

And in the hall, some ill-intentioned people glanced toward the booth where Jiang Chen was located from time to time.

Time passed slowly.

”Next is the eighth auction item, the Tier 2 Formation Spirit Guiding Formation. I don’t need to introduce this Formation much. The starting price is 20,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones, with each bid increase of no less than 1,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones.”

The Spirit Guiding Formation can guide the Spiritual Qi out from a Spiritual Vein. This Formation is useful for families but not very useful for individuals.

Although individuals didn’t participate, Family members were different. Although they didn’t have any Tier 2 Spiritual Veins on the surface now, who could say for sure?

”20,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones.”

A bid came from a booth.

”Twenty-one thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones!”

”Twenty-five thousand!”

”I bid thirty thousand!”

”...”

In an instant, bidding voices rang out continuously from the booths.

Seeing that a Spirit Guiding Formation was suddenly raised to thirty thousand, Jiang Chen immediately felt he had made a miscalculation.

He had thought that taking the Tier 2 Spirit Guiding Formation would be the easiest, but it seemed it wasn’t as simple as he thought.

One must know that a Tier 2 Spirit Guiding Formation works best when paired with a Tier 2 Spiritual Vein, and ordinary people wouldn’t use it.

In a place like Tianfeng City, their Tier 2 Spiritual Veins must be directly excavated, so they wouldn’t need a Tier 2 Spirit Guiding Formation at all.

Then why were they still competing for this Tier 2 Spirit Guiding Formation?

”Booth Di-3 bids fifty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.”

Just then, the Tier 2 Spirit Guiding Formation was bid up to fifty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones. For a moment, the voices continuing to bid decreased.

”Fifty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, are there any higher bids?”

At this time, Mu Yao on the stage asked the crowd.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen no longer waited. Looking down, he spoke slowly:

”Sixty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.”

”Booth Xuan-9 bids sixty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, are there any higher bids?”

Hearing Jiang Chen’s bid, Mu Yao asked again.

This time no one continued to bid, but this time, even more people focused on Jiang Chen. Including the previous green feather sword, the other party had already spent over a hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

One must know that these hundred thousand plus Low-Grade Spirit Stones would be a major blow even for their families.

”60,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones for the first time...”

”60,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones for the second time...”

”60,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones for the third time! Congratulations to this guest for winning the Tier 2 Formation Spirit Guiding Formation!”
