C145 See You Again Shangguan

In less than an hour, Lu Xiaoqian had already grasped the essence of the Tai Yi Gate Sword. Lu Xiaoqian practiced it once by herself, and Lu Qingfeng was pointing it out from time to time.

Lu Qingfeng nodded inwardly, feeling very gratified in his heart. In his heart, Lu Qingfeng could not help but praise Lu Xiaoqian's talent in cultivation.

After staying in this hotel for over a month, it was time to leave. After settling the bill at the front desk of the hotel, this hotel was worthy of being the most expensive place in Full Moon City.

However, to Lu Qingfeng, these crystals were nothing at all. Although one billion crystals were left for his family, there was still over a billion crystals stored in the Heavenly Crystal Palace.

Leaving the hotel, Lu Qingfeng casually strolled along the streets of Full Moon City. Not long after, a gigantic round building entered his sight.

Lu Qingfeng was very familiar with this kind of building. In every small town or city on the entire Falling God Star, this was a building of this size, just that it was different in size.

This circular building was the Divine Continent Auction House belonging to the Divine State Treasure Hall. As the third ranked city in the Gongyu Empire, the size of the Divine State Auction House could be imagined.

Looking at the auction house at the Shankuo, he couldn't help but think of Shangguan Zitong. The image of the elegant and refined Shangguan Zitong appeared in his mind without him realizing it.

With a slight smile, he walked in the direction of the auction house. Surrounding the auction house was a huge plaza. This point was no different from other places in the Divine Continent where the auction house was located.

Looking from afar, the surrounding huge square was packed full of people. It seemed like the auction was not far off.

When the guard at the entrance saw the golden card, he suddenly raised his head and looked towards Lu Qingfeng. He bowed respectfully and said, "Sir, may I ask, what is your relationship with my Young Miss?"

"Hehe," Lu Qingfeng laughed, "Are you talking about Zitong? I am her brother. Is there something wrong with me? "

Hearing Lu Qingfeng's words, the guard became even more respectful as he hurriedly bowed and said: "The young miss has said that the person who brought this gold card is here as if you have come personally, and told us not to be negligent. Mister came today by chance, and Miss is currently in the meeting hall, so would mister like to go in by yourself, or would you like me to report first so young miss can come in?"

Lu Qingfeng said, "I think it's better if I go in myself."

"That's fine too," the guard quickly agreed and returned the golden card to Lu Qingfeng. He then opened the door for Lu Qingfeng, who stepped inside.

Based on past experiences, he quickly found the room with the signboard for the reception hall. He lightly knocked on the door, and after receiving a reply, he pushed the door open and entered.

Sitting on the sofa facing the door was Shangguan Tiantong. By the time Lu Qingfeng had opened the door, she had already stood up and faced Lu Qingfeng. She said softly, "Big brother, we haven't seen each other for a few years. Is everything alright?"

Lu Qingfeng smiled and said to Shangguan Zitong, "I'm fine. How has Zitong been in recent years? His business has gone smoothly."

"Brother, I've been looking for you everywhere for the past few years. I didn't expect that you would come knocking on my door on your own accord today."

"Looking for me?" Lu Qingfeng asked in surprise, "Zitong, why are you in such a hurry to find me?"

It's like this, Bro. "Shangguan Zitong said," Recently, the headquarters has been in urgent need of a batch of True Stage Barrier Breaking Dan Beads. As you know, those who can refine a True Stage Barrier Breaking Dan Bead are all great masters, and my Treasure Pavilion only has one great alchemist grandmaster, which is far from enough. As a result, little sis thought of you.

"If that's the case," Lu Qingfeng said after a moment of silence, "No problem. For the sake of Zitong, I have to help out with this matter as well."

Hearing Lu Qingfeng's words, Shangguan Zitong was extremely excited. She looked at Lu Qingfeng with gratitude and said softly, "Thank you, brother."

Lu Qingfeng slightly smiled and said: "You and I are still so polite, but you don't seem familiar."

"Then I will not say 'thank you' anymore," said Shangguan Zitong. "Oh yes, Bro, the auction is about to begin. This time, I have the treasures that I need, so didn't you want to refine a clone? I don't know if you're interested in this? I originally wanted to leave this bead behind, but the seller insisted on selling it at the auction. Fortunately, big bro came at the right time, and after a while little sis brought big bro into the auction hall, I think there's still a VIP room empty inside. "

Hearing Shangguan Zitong's words, Lu Qingfeng was overjoyed. He immediately said, "Zitong, when do you think we should go to the meeting place? I am determined to get this magical pearl."

"No rush." Shangguan Zitong said, "The auction has only just begun. There is still some time until the final item will be auctioned. You and I haven't seen each other for many years, I really want to hear about what happened to you."

After interviewing each other about the experiences of the past few years, it was very close to the time of the finale of the auction. The two of them passed through a private passageway and arrived at a VIP room on the top floor.

Through the huge hologram hanging on the wall of the VIP lounge, the entire auction house could be seen in full view. A middle-aged auctioneer was standing behind the stage, talking with confidence.

He said: "Next, please go to this auction, the last item before the final item." As the auctioneer's voice faded, a tall and slender young lady in a red qipao leisurely walked up the stage.

Holding a tray with both hands, the auctioneer gently placed it on the auction stage with red silk covering the treasure. He slowly stepped back and slowly opened the box, revealing a brocade box underneath.

The brocade box was not big, it was no more than a foot long, five inches wide, and three inches tall. Opening the brocade box, he took out a small blue flag the size of a handkerchief.

Slowly unfolding the flag, the blue flag's surface rippled with light, making it look like a vast ocean. There seemed to be white clouds floating above it, giving it a dreamlike feeling.

Looking at the flag, the middle-aged auctioneer said, "Everyone, this item is a top-grade water type magic treasure, called the Watercloud Flag. Everyone, this item is a top-grade water type magic treasure, called the Watercloud Flag.

With that, he waved the Watercloud Flag around and said, "The starting price is five million crystals. Each increase must be no less than one hundred thousand crystals. Let the auction begin now."

As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, the entire auction house immediately became restless. The Cloudwater Banner began to be fought over fiercely and the price kept rising until it was sold to an old man for thirty million crystals.

Next, the middle-aged man said, "The next item on auction is one of the best treasures of our auction. Please bring it up."

Just like before, another young lady wearing a red qipao walked up. The same tray was covered with silk and was placed on the auction stage before retreating.

The middle-aged auctioneer took off the silk cloth and showed the box that was made of the same material to the crowd. However, this box was much smaller and was around five inches square.

The middle-aged man lifted the lid of the box and reached his hand into the box. He used his thumb and forefinger to gently pick up a round and transparent bead and slowly held it in front of him.

Immediately, the entire venue released an aura as thick as a mountain and as heavy as a mountain. Everyone's eyes were fixated on the bead in the middle of the middle-aged man's hand.

The appearance of the bead was like a crystal ball, smooth and clear, with the faint image of an earthen yellow mountain inside.

The middle-aged man looked at the bead and said in a loud voice, "Honored guests, the bead that everyone is looking at is called the Earth God's Illusion Pearl. The middle-aged man looked at the bead and said slowly, and he said in a loud voice," Dear guests, everyone, the name of the bead that everyone is looking at is Earth God's Illusion Pearl.

The middle-aged man continued, "Just now, the mister below said that the greatest use of this bead is to train one's avatar, thus causing it to be very precious. However, those who use this bead to practice their avatar must have a strong soul, otherwise, the damage to their own soul will reach an unimaginable degree, so, you all should consider it carefully. With the attitude of being responsible to you all, I advise you all to consider before bidding.

As his voice fell, the auction house fell into a momentary silence. The huge auction house was completely silent, to the point that one could hear a pin drop.

After two minutes of silence, a middle-aged man in the hall started to bid, "81 million crystals."

Once someone started the bidding, there would be more and more bids, and soon enough, it broke through to 200 million crystals. At this level, there was no one else in the hall, it seemed like more than ten VIP rooms would bid on it.

At this moment, a young woman's voice came from private room number 5: "210 million." The voice of the young woman attracted the attention of many people. As expected of a guest in the VIP room, his bid increased by 10 million crystals.

Just as the young woman finished her sentence, a young man's voice came from VIP booth 1, "Two hundred and thirty million crystals." After the young man finished speaking, the entire auction house was in an uproar again. What a big deal, raising the bid by 20 million crystals at a time. The entire hall was filled with whispers.

Before anyone could recover from the shock, a middle-aged man in private room number eight spoke: "Two hundred and seventy million crystals." As the price was called, the hall was once again in an uproar. The shock caused by today's finale would probably spread throughout the Full Moon City very quickly.

Lu Qingfeng and Shangguan Tiantong sat in VIP booth 12, observing the competition for the Earth Elemental Divine Illusionary Pearl. Shangguan Tiantong said, "Bro, it seems that the competition for this bead is far beyond our imagination, and the final price will definitely be very high. Bro, do you have enough crystals? If not, little sister will help you think of a solution."

Lu Qingfeng shook his head, "Zitong, I am determined to get this pearl. There is no need to worry too much about the problem with the crystals. The current price is still far from the limit of what I can bear." Lu Qingfeng's words were confident, and Shangguan Zitong immediately felt at ease.

While the two of them were talking, the auction was still ongoing. In just a few minutes, the price had risen to 400 million crystals.

Seeing the situation, Lu Qingfeng felt that it was time for him to take action. He said to the voice amplifying crystal, "450 million crystals."

Lu Qingfeng's bid was like a stone that gave rise to a thousand ripples. From private room number twelve, which had never been bid before, suddenly came a bid of 450 million. Everyone could not help but look in the direction of private room number twelve.

It wasn't as if there were none that could increase the bid by 50 million crystals. However, the price was relatively low then. Under normal circumstances, once one reached 400 million, the price should increase a little.

When Lu Qingfeng's bid came out, it showed Lu Qingfeng's determination to obtain the object. The auction house fell into a short period of silence.

The middle-aged auctioneer raised his gavel and said loudly, "The gentleman in VIP booth 12 just announced a bid of 450 million crystals. Are there any higher bid? 450 million going once, 450 million going twice."

Without waiting for the third time to speak, the youth in VIP booth 1 immediately said, "470 million crystals."

The middle-aged auctioneer immediately said, "The gentleman in VIP booth 1 gave a price of 470 million, is there any higher bid?"

Without waiting for the middle-aged man to finish speaking, Lu Qingfeng immediately said, "500 million crystals. Once the bid is sold, the auctioneer's eyes shine as he stared at VIP booth 12 and shouted out," VIP booth 12, this man has announced a new bid of 500 million crystals. Is there anything higher than this? "

In the auction house, besides the middle-aged auctioneer and the voice calling out an bid, there was no other sound mixed in. From VIP booth 1 came out the bid, "510 million."
