The Six Immortals Chapter 146

Chapter 146 – Rotary Kingland

Even though the Rising Sun Sect called out a thirty million bid, they didn’t seem to intimidate the other major sects.

The price was being constantly renewed, as the five major Sects continued to battle, whereas the Ba Gua Sect was forced to back away at this point.

Soon, the bid for the military armor reached the forty million mark, a price, that no one present had expected the item to bag.

Since the price was already at forty million, some people finally decided to back away.

The Wu Ji Sect and the City’s Sect were gearing up to battle for the ‘spirit’ realm weapon, which is why they had already abandoned the pursuit for this armor.

The Ba Gua Sect didn’t have enough resources, and were forced to withdraw from making any further bids.

Now, only the Tian Shui Sect, the Quinyang Sect, and the Rising Sun Sect were bidding for the armor.

The Tian Shui Sect and the Quinyang Sect had already procured one item each, but the Rising Sun Sect hadn’t grabbed any of major items so far. The Rising Sun Sect was well aware that they wouldn’t be capable of matching up to the financial prowess of the Wu Ji Sect and the City Sect, which is why it was vital for them to win this bid.

“Forty four million spars!” the eyes of the leader of the Rising Sun Sect looked quite anxious, as he raised the bid by another four million.

The Tian Shui and the Quinyang Sect started to hesitate a bit now, as they were beginning to wonder if the armor was worth that much money.

Luo Xiao Tian had never intended to buy this item, and was only bidding for the sake of increasing the price of the armor.

Intentionally increasing the price of an item in an auction, in this manner, can turn out to be very costly if no one follows up.

Tian Shui Sect’s deputy Hong Fei Hu’s face was still quite calm, and it was difficult to guess her intentions.

“Forty four million spars going once, are there no other bids? This military armor is not just a top-grade armor, but is also quite rare. Do not miss this opportunity.” Long Xiang Tian said in a sensationalizing tone, since he was still hoping to entice higher bids.

The Rising Sun Sect’s leader was already scolding the man within his mind: “Heavenly Dragon business group! Don’t try to delay this any further, don’t be so greedy!”

Long Xiang Tian looked around, but since no one seemed to be making any further bids, he spoke: “Forty four million spars going twice!”

“Forty five million spars!” the Tian Shui Sect’s deputy, lady Hong Fei Hu courageously raised the bid again.

The Tian Shui Sect wasn’t afraid of spending a large amount of money for the armor, but was still looking at the Rising Sun Sect, hoping that they’d raise the bid further.

Obviously, Hong Fei Hu’s main intention was to raise the price and make things more difficult for the Rising Sun Sect. These two Sects had a long history of contradictions, which had instilled deep roots of hatred between them.

Hong Fei Hu was convinced that Rising Sun Sect was desperate for this item, which is why she wasn’t afraid to raise the bid again.

“Forty seven million spars!” the Rising Sun Sect raised the bid again, as they were still very adamant of taking the armor with them.

Long Xiang Tian was observing the glares that the two Sects were pa.s.sing each other, and couldn’t help but feel even more delighted at the sight.

“Forty eight million spars!” Hong Fei Hu was trying to push the Rising Sun Sect to their limits.

“Fifty million spars!” the Rising Sun Sect raised the bid without any hesitation, clearly depicting their resolve.

Eventually, the Rising Sun Sect’s ‘fifty million’ bid won the item, and shocked the audience in the process.

“Wonderful! This is simply amazing ah! I never thought that this armor would finally end up costing fifty million spars.” Jing Feng was extremely surprised.

“These bunches of lunatics are willing to spend fifty million spars on items that aren’t even remotely worth that much.” Yan Yu Si sneered.

In a bigger frame, even these items aren’t considered very powerful. Especially, inside the Jiu Yu Da Sect, where even ‘spirit’ realm devices aren’t considered unusual.

But the Jiu Yu City is a very remote part of the world, which is why such high grade items are a rarity here, while the ‘spirit’ realm weapons are ever more rare, which is the primary reason why these items tend to cost more than their actual price in this region.

As Yan Yu Si explained these concepts, the others could only think that ‘It’s all very well to comment, but getting things done is another matter’.

Yan Yu Si was a very talented youngster, and the Xuannv Sect attached a lot of importance with her, which is why she was sure to obtain a high grade weapon in time; maybe even more than one.

“Now…. The exciting moment is here; the final item for this auction is ‘Spirit’ realm device. Although this weapon is damaged, we all understand its true power. This weapon is a rotary kingland, and was made popular several thousand years ago by the great master Qian Jin. The price for this item is reserved at a lowly thirty million spars, and those interested in this glorious weapon may raise their bids.” Long Xiang Tian spoke in very excited tone. (Explaining this weapon’s make is a little difficult… it’s basically a round rotating object, which has a chain attached to it. This chain usually has a small blade of some sort at the end. This whole set up rests on top of a long stick. Try googling it for a better idea. Hint: go to the images section, and you might see one.)

A ‘Spirit’ realm device, even if it a broken one, is much more powerful when compared to a high grade device.

If a broken ‘Spirit’ realm device was repaired, then it could serve as the crown weapon of any Jiu Yu City Sect.

The Rotary Kingland’s presence was enough to tempt everyone inside the auction hall, and everyone’s eyes were visibly filled with greed.

However, since this site was under the Heavenly Dragon business group, no one would dare to act rashly.

But the greedy eyes continued to watch the auction and the weapon, which was finally on display now.

The hall had suddenly gone very quiet, since no one wanted to make the first bid.

Long Xiang Tian waited a long time for a response, but since there was none, he finally spoke up: “Everybody, please make your bids.”

“Fifty million spars!”

“I’m going for sixty million spars!”

“Huh, I’ll sh.e.l.l out eighty million spars for this weapon!”

…    …

The ambience was very intense, and the price was sky-rocketing very quickly.

At this point, it was very difficult for anyone to maintain composure, and everyone was bidding frantically.

In a flash, the Rotary Kingland’s price had already reached a hundred million spars.

“This can’t be happening, I must be dreaming right now!” Bi Fan exclaimed.

Bi Fan was watching the Rotary Kingland very attentively, and was wis.h.i.+ng that he could cut the distance, which separated him from the weapon, short, since he wanted to experience this weapon’s might in person.

A completely intact ‘Spirit’ weapon contains spirit, which automatically guarantees the protection of its master.

Although this weapon wasn’t completely intact, its power and might were still bound to quite exceptional, and Bi Fan wanted to try it out.

Yan Yu Si looked at the weapon, and curled her lips, almost in disdain; apparently Yan Yu Si had seen better weapons.

Bi Fan glanced over at Yan Yu Si, but didn’t know what to make of her expression.

“The Rising Sun Sect is willing to give one hundred and fifty million spars!” even though the Rising Sun Sect had already won the military armor, they were still hoping to land another prize today.

But their bid didn’t stand for long, as the City’s Sect renewed the top bid: “One hundred and sixty million spars.”

“One hundred and eighty millions spars.” Xuan Yuan Ling Feng’s voice was low, but his sharp eyes were murderously glaring at his counterparts in the other Sects.

Whoever dared to compete with him for this Rotary Kingland, would have to walk through flames; financially speaking.

“Two hundred million spars!” w.a.n.g Yun stated loudly.

Two hundred million spars was considered a high price for a broken ‘spirit’ realm device like this Rotary Kingland weapon, especially since it was only a low-grade ‘spirit’ weapon to begin with.

Luo Xiao Tian twitched his mouth a few times, and eventually gave up.

Two hundred spars is not a small amount of money, and couldn’t be drawn from the Quinyang Sect’s treasury for a broken weapon like this one, since it would end up crippling the Sect’s finances.

The Tian Shui Sect also gave up on the bidding. In fact, ever since they had won the Dragon scale s.h.i.+eld, they didn’t really intend of buying anything else, and were only trying to raise the prices of the items that had followed.

The Tian Shui Sect’s approach was definitely the wisest, since they had managed to buy the dragon scale s.h.i.+eld at a very low price, as compared to the bids that had followed.

The price for the items at the end was bound to be higher, since people would be more desperate to take something back.

The Rising Sun Sect was quite interested in buying the Rotary Kingland, but unfortunately, had already spent fifty million spars on the military armor, and couldn’t hope to compete with the financial strength of the Wu Ji Sect and the City’s Sect anymore.

Now it was down to the Wu Ji Sect and the City Sect.

The Wu Ji Sect and the City’s Sect were old enemies, and their strength and financial resources were quite comparable. Most considered the Wu Ji Sect to be marginally stronger, but the City’s Sect was rumored to be better off in financial terms.

The City’s Sect looked quite determined to win this bid, since they wanted to catch up to the Wu Ji Sect in terms of strength. Winning the auction for the Rotary Kingland would be symbolic of their pursuit, and intentions.

But the Wu Ji Sect wouldn’t allow them to do so very easily. This was battle between two Dragons now, and no one could guess the final outcome.
