The Auction

Profound Sword Technique.

It is a sword technique created by the founder of the Sword Sect, the Profound Saint. Its grade reaches the sixth level, which is considered a relatively profound martial art.

The Profound Sword Technique is also known as the basic sword technique of the Sword Sect. Everyone from the sect leader to ordinary disciples must learn the Profound Sword Technique.

Don't think that this Profound Sword Technique too profound and weak. You must know that the Sword Sect has three thousand disciples, and all three thousand are kings.

The "king" here naturally refers to a realm, meaning that even an ordinary disciple of the Sword Sect is at the Spirit King realm.

The basic sword techniques taught in the Sword Sect would be highly sought-after martial arts skills on the Azure Dragon Continent.

However, the martial arts skills displayed by the two people in front of him were in no way inferior to the Profound Sword Technique of the Sword Sect in terms of the exquisiteness of their moves. How could this not surprise Chang Kong!

"That's right! The one who uses the Thunderous Sword Technique above the Nine Heavens obtained it from a book called <Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils>; while the one who uses the Thirteen Life-Taking Swords obtained it from a book called <The Youngest Nephew's Sword>. Both are Blue Quality books, on the same level as <The Legend of the Condor Heroes>." The cultivator beside him explained, then couldn't help but take out his own special number, saying expectantly, "In six months it'll be my turn. I wonder what kind of martial arts techniques I'll be able to comprehend."

Chang Kong glanced at the exclusive number in the cultivator's hand, startling the man who quickly put it away. The man said, "What are you trying to do? You want to steal this exclusive number six months from now?"

"Pfft!" Liu Ying couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Chang Kong glanced helplessly at Liu Ying and said, "Let's go."

"Master, where are we going?" Liu Ying asked from behind.

"Auction house!"

Tonight, Dubian Town is ablaze with lights, and the ten-mile-long street is bustling with people.

The first large-scale auction held since the opening of Wantong Trading Market is about to begin.

At 6:15 PM, in a VIP room on the third floor of the Wantong Trading Market, Ma Feifei Zhengyi eating fruit while waiting for the auction to begin, while Yun Qingyang stood aside, teasing her Six-tailed. Of course, there was also a new employee, Zhang Yunji, who had been dragged along by Ma Feifei to join in the fun.

Ma Feifei had specifically requested to attend this auction. Having been in this world for so long, Ma Feifei's nights were spent either copying books or counting sheep, with no nighttime activities whatsoever, which had really driven him crazy. Now that a nighttime event had finally come along, Ma Feifei naturally didn't want to miss it.

"Qingyang! Let me tell you, if I see any treasures I like later and I don't have enough Spirit Crystal, can you lend me some?" Ma Feifei said, eating fruit and speaking indistinctly.

Ma Feifei now has a bit of money. Although he spent several million Spirit Crystal copying four Yellow Quality books recently, he was fortunate that the system's dividends last time were quite large, and Yun Qingyang only took a portion. In addition, the Bookstore's profits this month were also good, so Ma Feifei now has a full million Spirit Crystal, making him quite wealthy.

"No, I won't lend it," Yun Qingyang replied.

Ma Feifei chuckled, looked at Yun Qingyang, and said, "I won't lend it for free; I'll pay interest."

"No." No matter what Ma Feifei said, Yun Qingyang refused to lend the money. It seemed that he had been tricked by Ma Feifei last time and was unwilling to be fooled again.

Ma Feifei shook his head. This female dragon had become cunning, but it didn't matter. Now, Yun Qingyang wasn't the only one he could fool; there was another one.

"Yunji! Can I borrow some later?" Ma Feifei whispered.

Zhang Yunji said with a bitter face, "Shopkeeper, I don't have a hundred Spirit Crystal on me."

He wasn't pretending to be poor; he really was!

Well, it turns out my second employee isn't even as well off as a full-time employee.

'Crunch'

Just as Ma Feifei was about to speak, the door suddenly opened, and Gongsun Qiong walked in from outside.

Tonight, Gongsun Qiong was dressed exceptionally beautifully, in a purple brocade palace gown with flowing patterns and subtle designs. The cuffs were embroidered with delicate purple lotuses, so lifelike that one could almost smell their fresh fragrance. The skirt was embroidered with exquisite and intricate patterns, and a jade belt of the same color was tied around her waist. On her feet were embroidered shoes, the surfaces of which were embroidered with large lotuses. With each graceful step, she exuded an alluring charm.

"I love mature, sophisticated women!" Ma Feifei exclaimed in her heart.

However, on the surface, Ma Feifei remained serious, looking at Gongsun Qiong and saying, "Sister Gongsun, what brings you here? Aren't you supposed to be hosting the auction?"

Gongsun Qiong sat down opposite Ma Feifei, picked up a watermelon from the table, took a bite, and said, "This servant doesn't know how to host an auction. These are things that are done by professionals. This servant just needs to be a spectator."

Ma Feifei thought about it and agreed. As the president of an association, how could he do such menial work as a host?

However, Ma Feifei was still very happy that Gongsun Qiong, who had so much power, would spend time with someone as insignificant as him.

"Shopkeeper, this is for you." Gongsun Qiong handed over a spatial bag.

Ma Feifei was taken aback, then took the spatial bag and looked inside!

Wow! A total of five million Spirit Crystal were lying inside.

"What's this?" Ma Feifei was a little confused. Didn't they just settle the cooperation profit-sharing results a few days ago? Why is there another one? And even if it was cooperation profit-sharing, it shouldn't be this much!

Gongsun Qiong smiled slightly and said, "Recently, after the news spread that our Wantong Trading Market would be hosting the Pokémon Championship, it further stimulated the flow of people in the trading market and brought considerable profits. These Spirit Crystal are to express our Wantong Trading Market's gratitude to the shop owner."

Gongsun Qiong was indeed right. Ever since Wantong Trading Market announced that it would be hosting the first Pokémon Championship, the Wantong Trading Market traffic had increased by more than three percent, further suppressing the trading markets of other chambers of commerce in Dubian Town and taking over 80 percent of the market share in the entire Dubian Town.

After all, these days, whoever gets close to the Mysterious Bookstore will attract the attention of many practitioners.

Furthermore, the Pokémon Championship is one of the most anticipated competitions, and everyone wants to get the schedule as soon as possible; therefore, as the organizer of this competition, Wantong Trading Market naturally became the key place for everyone to obtain competition information.

"Huh? Is that even possible?" Ma Feifei was genuinely surprised. Could this really be a way to Sheer Force a thank you?

'Could she have overheard the conversation and come up with this excuse?' Ma Feifei wondered.

"Of course, please accept it, shopkeeper." Gongsun Qiong said with a generous and grateful tone.

"Take it!" Yun Qingyang appeared beside Ma Feifei at some point, his eyes fixed intently on the spatial bag in Ma Feifei's hand, and said in a low voice.

In the lobby on the third floor of Wantong Trading Market, Liu Ying and Chang Kong sat in a corner.

"Master, you really put that thing up for auction?" Liu Ying asked softly.

"Hmm." Chang Kong sparingly uttered a word.

"Master, that was given to you by your wife!" Liu Ying said hesitantly, her hands clasped together. "If it really doesn't work out, shall we not go to read the book? Let's take that thing back."

Chang Kong shook his head and said, "It's already been put up; how can we just take it back?"

"But..." Liu Ying seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted by Chang Kong.

"It's alright, your teacher's wife won't know."
