Number One Under Heaven

Chapter 6: Jade Phoenix's Auction House

The Heavenly Phenomenon only lasted for another minute before it faded away.

The people in Immortal Realm started speculating about what that was.

Was that a Heavens Blessing? Where it happens only when a new Godly Innate Talent was just born?

No way, that was too exaggerated for a Heavens Blessing, it must be a Godly Treasure being born.

The people were chatting nonstop.

Min Qiu wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, There have been way too many shocking events today. What is happening? She wondered out loud.

When Min Qiu finally calmed herself down, she remembered her youngest daughter saying something ridiculous to a stranger she just met. Although their family was a low ranking one, they still had some power in a small city. How can they go around marrying a stranger?

Even if she had a weak Innate Talent, she was definitely going to be a pretty girl when she grows up. The family head, her husband, had already started to negotiate with their neighborhood, the middle ranked Yang family about Min Lis future. Even if she wanted her daughter to choose her own husband, it was impossible. When she looked at Min Li and her happy face, she felt, even more pain in her heart. And then she saw the young boy named Song Shu walk towards her. But she felt that this young boys aura had changed completely, from an unremarkable one to one that was sharp enough to cut steel. When he stood in front of her, it made her feel nervous for some reason.

Little Shu, I am sorry about that, shes just a kid and does not know what she was saying. Please ignore her nonsense. She apologized.

I understand, dont worry about it. He smiled.

Thank you She somehow felt relieved after hearing that.

Lao Bai looked at her shaking his head, Aiya, what a pity, you just missed a once in a lifetime chance.

* * * * *

Big Brother Shu, tell me a story! Min Li asked.

Sure, what do you want the stories to be about?

About your life!

Hmmm, alright then, let me tell you the story of me riding on this dragon one time

A Dragon?! You really met one? Her eyes started glittering.

Of course, who do you think I am? He said while patting his chest.

He took out a small chair from his Storage Pouch and sat down before patting his lap, telling her to sit there.

. She looked at his lap for a moment and started blushing, but that didnt stop her from going.

Min Li sat on his lap and stared at his handsome face which was right next to hers. What a good position she thought.

If the girls in Celestial Gods Realm saw this, they will probably destroy the Immortal Realm from envy

Okay, so there was this one time where I rode on a Dragon named Shenlong. It all started when

He began to tell her stories that sounded fake as hell from other peoples perspective, yet Min Li listened with an eager face as if her hero was telling her his adventures.

* * * * *

Two days later.

Were finally here. Min Lian said with an excited face. This was also her first time in Xian Chengshi.

Little Shu, what are you going to do from here on? Min Qiu asked.

Hmm, I am going to sell a few things first, then I will be heading to watch the Stairway to Heaven.

He had no money at this moment and needed to sell some useless stuff for the future. After that, he wanted to watch this Stairway to Heaven event and finally head for the Mortals Realm.

Eh!? Big Brother Shu should come with us! I dont want you to go yet! Min Li turned sad instantly.

Lier, you have already been bothering your Big Brother these past few days. He also has things he needs to do and cant follow us forever. Not to mention he will also watch the Stairway to Heaven event. You will see him again later. Min Qiu tried to persuade her.

Your mother is right Min Li. I will see you again in a few days, so until then be a good girl. He said.

.Okay. She said with her head down.

Well then, it was very nice to meet your Min Family. Thank you for the company these past few days and until we meet again! He said his goodbyes and walked away while Lao Bai followed him.

Big Brother Shu. Min Li still felt reluctant.

These past few days has been the most fun times in her life yet. She got to meet an unbelievably handsome young man she can call Big Brother. He was the nicest person to her, he told her super fun stories and gave her an exquisite necklace. He even promised to marry her when she grows up.

Min Li couldnt wait until she grows up and fulfills the conditions so she can stay with this Big Brother of hers forever and ever

Let us go too; your father is waiting for our arrival. Min Qiu started to walk in another direction.

Un

Okay.

The sisters followed.

* * * * *

In the middle of Xian Chengshi, a square was filled with people waiting to watch the Stairway to Heaven and some even to participate in it.

Excuse me, Sir, do you know where I can sell things for money?

A large man stopped to look at the tough looking middle-aged man in front of him asking this question. There are many merchants in Xian Chengshi trying to sell things, especially this time of year where people gather. Guys like him asking these matters were very frequent.

If you want to sell beast materials, any market around here that buys them will do. He said.

Hmmm, where would you go if you want to sell treasures?

Treasures? He was a bit shocked at first but then started to analyze the man in front of him.

This man didnt look like any wealthy noble, so he should be a Loose Cultivator who encountered some good fortune. He is either stupid or has confidence that nobody can steal from him.

The large man started planning on how to rob this idiot who talks about his treasure in public.

Hey, If I were you, I would not do whatever youre thinking about now.

Eh? He felt a murderous intent aiming at him that made his legs go weak.

The large man started sweating, No, no, no. Honorable Sir, you are mistaken. I was just thinking about your question. As a matter of fact, I just found the answer! The Auction house is a good place to sell treasures. The Jade Phoenixs Auction House is definitely the best place! They will open two days from now and started accepting items for sale today! He said at a fast pace.

Hmmm, is that so? Which way is it?

That way! A mile away from here! He pointed towards his left.

Okay, thanks.

The large man watched the short white haired man walk away.

Phew, that was close. I almost offended a senior

* * * * *

Young Master Shu, that was all he told me. Lao Bai just explained what he heard from that large man.

Good, lets go to this Jade Phoenixs Auction House now.

Tian Yi started walking towards the direction Lao Bai pointed.

Yes, Young Master. Lao Bai followed.

* * * * *

In front of a 10 story building, a crowd gathered around four attractive females wearing red cheongsams.

I have a Heaven Ranked Sword I want to sell!

I got some pills enhanced five times!

I found this Magic Fan that summons fire and Im willing to sell it!

Many merchants were trying to get a spot to sell their Treasure in front of the Jade Phoenixs Auction House. Every two years this Auction House will open and help people sell their treasures while receiving a percentage of the amount sold. Every time they open only a limit of 100 items can be sold, so the competition for these spots was fierce.

The Jade Phoenixs Auction House was not popular because it was the only Auction House in the City. It was because of their backers, one of the Four Ancient Lands, the Azure Phoenix God Sect. Every two years, people with broad backgrounds would gather here to enjoy the Auction and to show off their wealth. Every time the Auction House opens, the seats would always be sold out within the next day. However, this time was exceptionally crowded due to the Stairways to Heaven being opened in a few days, causing the competition to be even more fierce.

Ladies and Gentlemen, please calm down! I will make sure to check everybodys treasure and see if its worth a spot out of the limited 100 in the Jade Phoenixs Auction House! Please quiet down and line up! One of the beautiful girls said.

At this time when everybody started to quiet down, a handsome young man in the crowd raised his hand and showed a pill bottle. I have a Primordial Heavenly Spirit Pill here that can instantly let a Peak Bronze Immortal turn into a Silver Immortal! He said proudly.

Primordial Heavenly Spirit Pill?! Young Master, please let me see it! Even the four beautiful girls face changed.

Its real! Its the Primordial Heavenly Spirit Pill! This is the 5th time in history that it has ever been sold at the Jade Phoenixs Auction House! Thanks to Young Master and his benevolence for letting us sell this! Please follow me to the VIP section. The beautiful girl who went to him first said excitedly.

The other three girls looked at her with envy. If they got someone to sell something rare to their Jade Phoenixs Auction House, they will get a pay raise and might even get a rank up in their job. Which one of them didnt want to find someone who was willing to sell them something very rarely seen like a Primordial Heavenly Spirit Pill?

That was direct disciple Jiang Cheng from the Church of the Qilin God!

No wonder he was willing to take out something that rare

People started to talk about the Young Man named Jiang Cheng after he left.

* * * * *

Tian Yi and Lao Bai were observing this from the back.

Wow, this place is really popular. I wonder if they are willing to help me sell my trash He started to wonder.

But when he remembers seeing the beautiful girls get excited from a little pill like the Primordial Heavenly Spirit Pill, he didnt think about it anymore. Which item in his Storage Pouch wasnt many times rarer than the Primordial Heavenly Spirit Pill? Even his trash was at least three times rarer.

He started to wait in a queue where everybody lined up.

After a few hours of waiting, it was finally his turn. But when he walked up, the beautiful girl looked at him with a frown.

Please dont waste my time and go away. She said straightforwardly.

. He was dumbfounded.

He didnt even show her anything, so how did she know he was wasting her time?

The beautiful girl looked at the ordinary looking boy in front of her. Is he in the right place? What can he possibly sell that will attract my Jade Phoenixs Auction House? Thinking that she shooed him away.

But I didnt even show you my item? He frowned.

What can you possibly show me? This is not a place for people like you to sell random crap at She started being rude.

..

Tian Yi stared at her with a frown.

You bitch! My Young Master didnt even show you what he was offering, and youre shooing him away?! Lao Bai turned furious after seeing his Young Master being slapped in the face like that.

What did you just call me?! Who do you think I am?! The beautiful girl turned even angrier after being cursed at by him.

I called you a bitch! So what?! Come at me!

Lao Bai started rolling up his sleeves like he was going to fight her to death

Stop! Whats going on here?! A clear voice shouted loudly at their directions.

A gorgeous young lady that made people around her look with wet mouths walked towards them. She was wearing a revealing blue cheongsam with a Phoenix design on it.

Senior Sister Meng Ling! These two rude men cursed at me calling me a bitch! She pointed at Tian Yi and Lao Bai.

Meng Ling, who was the leader of these four girls responsible for handling the front door, frowned after hearing one of her Junior Sister had been cursed at by some random old man. She looked at the pair who her sister pointed to, an angry white-haired middle-aged man and the ordinary looking young boy who had a calm face as if he was not being pointed at.

May I ask who you two gentlemen are and why are you causing a scene in front of my Jade Phoenixs Auction House? She asked politely.

Hmph, finally a pleasant one showed up. Listen well! My Young Master here waited hours in line just to bless your Auction House with his godly treasures, yet before he even got to speak a word, this bitch here shooed him away! What kind of crappy service is this? Huh?! Lao Bai did not go easy on her and yelled at her like he was complaining to a restaurant manager.

Meng Ling frowned upon hearing what happened and ignoring Lao Bais cursing, asked her Junior Sister, Did you really shoo them away without even talking? Is that how our Jade Phoenixs Auction House does business?

N-no Senior Sister. But look at him! Hes clearly a mortal no matter how you look at him, what godly treasure? His treasures are just trash in our eyes! She still tried to justify her actions.

No buts! As long as they have something to show our Jade Phoenixs Auction House, we will treat them with respect no matter if theyre Immortal or not! She lectured her Junior Sister.

Y-yes Senior Sister. She lowered her head.

Tian Yi looked at the four door girls making a face with disgust and shook his head. Since they dont want him here, hell just find somewhere else to sell his stuff.

Lao Bai, lets go. Since they dont want to help me sell my Peak Grade Immortal Treasure, Ill just find someone else whos willing to buy it from me. He turned around and started walking away from the Auction House.

But before he can even take two steps, a loud voice stopped him.

??!?!!? YOUNG MASTER, PLEASE WAIT A MOMENT! Meng Ling who was always calm shouted after hearing what he said.

Peak Grade Immortal Treasure?! That was something their Jade Phoenixs Auction House has only sold once in their history! What was a Peak Grade Immortal Treasure? That was something all the Ancient Immortals would fight for! Not mentioning Golden Immortals, even many Ancient Immortals do not have a Peak Grade Immortal Treasure.

If their Jade Phoenixs Auction House had something like that being sold this year, all the Ancient Immortal Powerhouses would fly here with no rest! This was a huge chance for their Auction House, yet somehow they had already offended the one who had it before he could even show it! What a disaster! If the higher ups hear of this, they will definitely execute all four of her Junior Sisters and probably herself too!
