Chapter 194 The Ghost Clan Boy
Chapter 194 The Ghost Clan Boy
Yun Fuzhao glanced at him, feeling a strange sensation.
"what happened?"
Seeing that she hadn't followed, Lian Sheng turned her head and asked with her eyes.
Yun Fuzhao looked at Lian Sheng and said, "It's nothing. I just bumped into someone by accident."
She looked again, but the man had vanished.
Lian Sheng's token was of a very high level, so the attendant led them directly to the top floor. Before he left, Lian Sheng called out to him, "Could you trouble your manager to come over here? My sister has something to show him."
The servant bowed his head respectfully, "Yes. Please wait a moment, Your Excellency Physician."
While waiting, Yun Fuzhao glanced at the decorations of the room; the entire style of the decor seemed to say, "I'm expensive, please don't touch me."
Its auction method is very similar to that of Wanbaoge, which also uses projection stones to display treasures.
However, its overall level of luxury is still superior to the Wanbao Pavilion in the Southern Continent. The Shangguan family truly deserves to be the foremost family in the Northern Continent.
She recalled what Yuchi Gong had said about resources, and how the lower-ranking families still had to buy them from them at high prices, and she wondered how much the difference in value was.
No wonder they're rich.
Just as I was pondering this, the door to the private room opened, and a handsome man walked in with a big smile on his face.
He bowed respectfully, saying, "Divine Physician."
Lian Sheng was beloved throughout the cultivation world, not only for treating cultivators for free, but also for his neutrality; he never took sides and never interfered in the affairs between different sects. Therefore, many sects extended olive branches to him, hoping to win him over.
Lian Sheng returned the greeting, "I invited you here today because my younger sister has something she wants to show you."
Upon hearing this, the steward looked at Yun Fuzhao and smiled, "What does the young lady want to show me?"
His expression showed little regard; it was obvious he was just trying to gain sympathy and save face.
This is only natural. As an enterprise under the Shangguan family, Juzhen Pavilion has handled countless treasures. Having seen all sorts of rare and precious items, ordinary objects no longer catch his eye.
Yun Fuzhao took out his open palm, and with a thought, a palm-sized array appeared before them.
The manager's expression changed abruptly upon seeing the formation, and he instinctively leaned closer to examine it.
"This……"
Yun Fuzhao spoke: "Seventh-grade Heavenly Thunder Annihilation Array."
The steward completely abandoned his contemptuous attitude and bowed to Yun Fuzhao, saying, "I didn't expect that you, young lady, are already a seventh-grade array cultivator at such a young age. I was blind to your greatness and hope you will forgive me."
Yun Fuzhao waved his hand, "It's alright."
What she was more concerned about was how many spirit stones this formation could sell for.
"I wonder how many of these formations I can sell for?"
“Young lady,” the manager said, “I need to ask a professional array master to make an assessment.”
He turned to his servant and ordered, "Go and call Master Yue over."
"Yes."
Yun Fuzhao didn't know the general level of array cultivators in the Northern Continent, but she was confident in this array. After all, it was a Xuan-rank array technique, and the one she had brought out was the simplest one.
What comes out next is terrifying.
Soon, the Master Le they had been talking about arrived.
"This is Master Le Zimo, currently a formation master. He is the number one formation cultivator in the cultivation world."
This title is naturally not applicable to the Southern Continent.
The ranking system in the cultivation world is the same: array cultivators are ranked from one to nine, followed by array masters, array kings, array sects, and array saints.
The names of the array cultivator levels are rather awkward: Array King, Array Dead...
However, in the Northern Continent, can someone who is merely an array master become the number one array cultivator? Lian Sheng's words about the scarcity of array cultivators in the Northern Continent materialized at this moment.
Yun Fuzhao nodded. "My name is Yun."
"Hello."
Le Ziming had a stubble beard, an extraordinary air about him, and bright, piercing eyes. "Please allow me to take a look at your formation."
Yun Fuzhao revealed the formation.
When Le Ziming saw her formation, his eyes lit up immediately. Even he had never seen such a formation before.
"Don't you know that this formation was created by you, young lady?"
Yun Fuzhao, finding it difficult to explain the origin of the formation, simply replied, "Yes."
Le Ziming's gaze towards her changed. "In that case, please allow me to test the power of this formation."
Yun Fuzhao nodded, "Please go ahead."
After an incense stick had burned, Yun Fuzhao received five thousand high-grade spirit stones and a black token.
Lian Sheng said that only the most distinguished guests of Juzhen Pavilion could possess the black token. This color was the same as his.
Le Ziming was clearly a formation fanatic. After testing the power of the formation, his eyes widened and he insisted on becoming friends with her.
He also asked if he could break down her formation.
Many formations like to decompose the formation itself in order to replicate it.
Yun Fuzhao didn't care; the others had already bought it, and how they disposed of it was their business.
[Ning An: None of the formations in "Seventy-Two Formations" can be copied; no one but you can set them up.]
Yun Fuzhao was thrilled; it meant she had a monopoly on the formation. Anyone else who wanted the formation could only buy it from her.
She could already see the life of a rich woman beckoning to her.
"I told you, once this formation is activated, you won't need me to bring you next time."
Yun Fuzhao toyed with the black token. "This formation alone has them so excited. If my master were to unleash the Yin-Yang Dust Formation, they would go crazy."
Lian Sheng smiled and nodded.
The auction began soon.
Yun Fuzhao came only for the Jade Marrow Mushroom; the other treasures were of no use to her.
The first few items were nice, but none of them interested her. Lian Sheng also took a picture of some herbs.
"Next up is what everyone's been waiting for," the man on the stage smiled mysteriously, lifting the cage lid, "a demon!"
Upon hearing these two words, Yun Fuzhao immediately sat up straight and looked at the image on the projection stone.
Inside the enormous cage was a delicate yet fragile man. He huddled in the far corner of the cage, arms crossed, looking around warily and fearfully.
Yun Fuzhao never expected that even the ghost race could be sold. They were incredibly audacious. Weren't they afraid that the ghost race would come after them?
Lian Sheng was also surprised. He had always been concerned about the world and believed that there was no racial distinction; everyone was equal. How could he tolerate such blatant trafficking?
So after the man called out the price, Lian Sheng immediately called out an exorbitant number.
Yun Fuzhao gasped in astonishment. "My god, is this what rich people are like?"
With such a high price, naturally no one would buy it. It's just a toy, not worth spending too many spirit stones on.
So this seemingly young demon was photographed by Rei-sei.
"You're planning to take him in?"
Lian Sheng shook her head. "I will set him free."
In an instant, Yun Fuzhao felt a platinum-gold light emanating from behind him, and her soul was elevated.
Soon, the attendant brought the ghost boy over.
The young demon, with black chains around his neck, was dragged before them.
