Chapter 219 Bloodline Sacred Scripture

……

Chu Kangtian was inspecting the newly arrived treasures that were ready to be put up for auction in the treasure bidding pavilion. He was unsure about one of them, so he specially invited several experts to participate in the evaluation.

On the rosewood table lies a secret book engraved on a blood jade tablet. The jade is warm and delicate, the color is gorgeous, pure and flawless, the handwriting is meticulous, and it interprets the mystery of Taoism like flowing water.

Chu Kangtian glanced at Gou Shangniang who was sitting across from the tea table and said solemnly, "King Guan Yiming has a far-sighted vision. Can you confirm that it is correct?"

Gou Shangniang looked at the jade slip intently for a moment and asked, "Is it really the treasure that came out of the Ship of Death today?" She couldn't help feeling a little regretful. They entered the secret realm together, but had different opportunities and missed each other.

Chu Kangtian explained: "The client said that when you go deep into the secret realm, you need to solve a puzzle like the formation between clocks, so that you can open a mysterious door, explore the scriptures inside, and go through hardships to obtain this treasure."

Gou Shangniang glanced at the elders of the Longmai Sect who were sitting on both sides of the tea table. They were also from the Zhourao tribe. The two old men looked very cute due to their small stature. One had white hair and a beard that dragged on the ground, while the other had a bald head and a round face with a small mustache like eyebrows.

There are many treasures present today, so Longmai Sect naturally has secretly arranged experts to take charge. The two in front of him are not only knowledgeable, but their cultivation is even higher than that of their wolf transformation state.

Gou Shangniang pondered and said, "From what I have seen, it is made of blood jade, and it is undoubtedly the writing of the Sea King Clan."

Chu Kangtian smiled and said, "I can tell the material and text of the jade slip is correct. But this secret book is of great importance, and I'm afraid it's not much weaker than the three great magic skills in the world."

Gou Shangniang said truthfully: "The three great divine skills are: the first is the Tianchi divine skill of the Li family of Taowu Academy, which is of Wuyuan Tianpin; the second is the Dream Transformation Technique of Tianmen, which is of Wuyuan Zunpin; and the third is the Buddha Purple Qi of the World Honored One, which is of Wuyuan Zhipin. The differences between them are quite large, and everyone in the world knows it."

The elder with white hair and long beard continued, "The Tianchi magic skill has never been passed on to outsiders, and it is rare in the world. The Dream Transformation Method is engraved in the Hidden Immortal Hall of Shanhui City. Only those who have obtained the title of Mingwang and the recognition of Tianmen can enter the inner palace for detailed study. Only a very few outstanding people among the Tianjiao can obtain it. The Buddha Purple Qi has been passed down through the ages, and its reputation as the number one magic skill is also due to the fact that it has the most practitioners."

The elder with eyebrows and mustache could not help but say: "In the world, there are cultivators of all races, whether human or demon, who have been practicing Buddha Purple Qi for many years. Most of them have only a partial understanding and have benefited a lot. Only those who are virtuous and deeply taught by the Buddha can obtain the perfect true understanding, such as the Great Powerful Vidyaraja and the Golden Light King. Only a few people have this opportunity."

Chu Kangtian added tea and said, "What the two elders Changchun and Longmei said is very true. This shows the importance of this "Bloodline Sacred Scripture". Today, I specially invited King Yiming to take a look at it to identify its grade and value."

Gou Shangniang said: "The Sea King Clan practices the Bloodline Sacred Scripture, which is in harmony with the giant beasts in the sea. They work together and benefit from each other. Both of them can exert a combat power higher than their own, which is beyond the reach of other clans. That's why they are called the Sea King Clan. The text translation of this technique is a bit difficult. If it can be successfully interpreted, it should be a priceless treasure in the eyes of the beast taming cultivators of my clan."

Chu Kangtian sipped his tea and said leisurely, "It has been put in the store for negotiation, so it must have a price. How much can you think of it, Your Excellency Ming Wang?"

Gou Shangniang pondered for a moment and said, "Wu Yuan is a top-notch product, worth about 600 million taels of gold. Not many people in the world can afford it."

Elder Changchun twisted his long beard and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are wrong. In my humble opinion, the Bloodline Sacred Scripture is worthy of Wu Yuan Tianpin, and the price is more reasonable between 700 million and 800 million taels of gold."

Elder Longmei said: "As for the starting price, it must be much cheaper to allow fair competition for all interested buyers. Maybe someone will find a great bargain."

Gou Shangniang giggled and said, "You two have made your own decisions, why are you asking me?"

Chu Kangtian slammed the table and said, "Your Majesty's words are of great importance. They make me feel confident about the price and provide thoughtful service to customers. This is our responsibility. Let's see who will be the first winner of the bid in the history of Longmaimen."

……

The next morning, as the sun rose, Xianhua Pavilion was already bustling with excitement and anticipation on people's faces as they came to watch the bidding opening and announcement of the results.

All the sealed treasures were removed and the display ended. A large number of new and rare treasures participating in the bidding were carefully displayed. The number of goods increased instead of decreased.

Before the Death Ship Secret Realm was torn apart, there were still many areas where unknown things were buried. Some monks successfully harvested amazing treasures in it and sent them to Xianhua Pavilion for sale. After a round of negotiations by Chu Kangtian, he lowered the reserve price to select, and vacant positions appeared one after another.

The bidders were enthusiastic and moved between the booths. Their eyes flickered with enthusiasm as they examined the treasures. The competition seemed to be much more intense.

Cheng Bai came to check and was a little surprised by the announced results.

The bid was much higher than the market price, but he still didn't win all of them. He lost the Zhenwu Rock, but the other four were his.

Cheng Bai believed that no one had enough spiritual power to crack the Phoenix Power because the other party submitted the bid earlier than him.

Chang Yufeng got the Zhenwu Rock and Longbo Inner Pill. When they met, he smiled and said, "It's good to win a few bids on the first day. In the past, we often saw the top bidders in the first one or two days, and the last day was the last day when no one wanted to bid. Yesterday, the popularity was greatly reduced by the Death Boat incident, and the prices did not go up. This is a good thing for us."

An Yiren said, "Brother Chang and I jointly bid for Zhenwu Rock. He bid too quickly, up to 3.2 million taels, and we divided it up after we got it. Some of it is too expensive, already the black market price, all because of the shortage. But if I miss this opportunity, I probably won't see a decent one for a long time, so I'll accompany him in his generosity."

Chang Yufeng snickered and said, "The transaction price at the Xianhua Pavilion's elite gathering is actually a barometer of the black market price. If you dare to buy at this price, the black market will dare to sell it at a higher price. We are lucky, at least every piece is good. If you don't believe me, go and check the circulation market. Even if you can buy it, it will be defective."

Cheng Bai looked at the person with the highest bid. Zhu Li'en bid 23.5 million taels of gold for the Ice and Flame Spring, making him the undisputed highest bidder of the entire venue.

Faintly, An Yiren and Zhu Li'en looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Cheng Bai came to his senses: "They are having an affair, so the deal must be known to everyone and everyone, and both sides are very satisfied. The price of the Ice Flame Spring is not too exaggerated. It's only two hundred thousand taels, which is not much. It's still worth it."

Feng Yong looked at the winning bid price list with great interest, and turned around and said with a smile, "Dabai, the price you offered is really good, thank you."

Her name was not seen on the list of successful bidders. The only people who came to the Qunying Yahui were buyers and sellers. If they were not buyers, they were sellers.

Cheng Bai suddenly realized, "Is the Yangling Fruit yours?"

Feng Yong smiled like a little fox and said softly, "You are my lucky star. All the running around over the years has not brought me as much as you have."

Cheng Bai asked: "Do you know other sellers?"

Feng Yong nodded and said, "I know a few. The flint stone you bought was from Bader of the Guile Society, and the soul-returning grass and the seeds of the Five Extremes Treasure Tree were brought by Jiang Cheng, the leader of the Shengmin Gang."

Cheng Bai was secretly delighted and was still thinking about how to get the information from Chu Kangtian without leaving any trace. As a result, he got it without any effort.

Unfortunately, Jiang Cheng died, and Mo Ruyu disappeared after getting two windfalls.

"Now that the matter is settled, I have to go to Shengmin Gang to inquire." Cheng Bai thought secretly.

Feng Yong looked him over and said, "Why are you asking this? Do you want to find out about the channels of the Secret Society? Bard has a lot of good things. The Water of Life and Death and the Ice and Fire Spring are also hers."

Cheng Bai said casually: "Boss Ba is a leader in the black market. He is indeed well connected."

Feng Yong said: "There is a secret rumor that Nie Ziqiong went to Yinsheng City not just to challenge the Ladder of All Things. The Guile Society... or the Feathered People are the big forces he wants to win over. The two sides get along very well, so this year's Heroes' Gathering is supplied by Bard, and the resources are particularly rich."

Cheng Bai admired and said: "Transaction is the beginning of a good cooperation. He is really a man of character."

Feng Yong showed a look of shock on his face: "Are you interested in Bard? I thought you were a good person."

Cheng Bai was stunned and said, "What? No. Did I say something wrong?"

Feng Yong was relieved when he heard that, and took the opportunity to say, "That's good. I don't think you are from Beilin. I wonder which famous family your ancestors are from?"
