Chapter 206: Eighth-Grade Mystic Skill Manual!

Chapter 206: Eighth-Grade Mystic Skill Manual!

Yang Dingtian couldn’t help but get slightly startled. Even things like the blood black gold could be consigned?

“What are the differences?” Yang Dingtian asked.

“If it is by auction and if this guest is lucky, you might be able to sell it for 80,000 gold coins. But we will have a commission of one percent.”

“If it is by consignment, it should sell for 70,000 gold coins, and we will take 0.5% commission.”

“If it is sold to us directly, it will be 60,000 gold coins.” The Second Class Supervisor explained.

“So expensive?” Yang Dingtian was surprised. “Wasn’t it only around 50,000 previously?”

“There had been a recent demand for blood black gold.” The Second Class Supervisor said, “Which transaction type would you like to choose?”

“I don’t wish for trouble. I will sell it directly to you.” Yang Dingtian made his choice.

The Second Class Supervisor was instantly delighted because just Yang Dingtian’s transaction would give him a commission of over 1,000 gold coins. Even that pretty female attendant at the back had large and bright eyes. This transaction alone would give her more than 100 gold coins, and it was equivalent to half a year of her salary.

“Zhenzhen will accompany this distinguished guest here. I will go and prepare the relevant documents and procedures immediately.” The Second Class Supervisor said.

Immediately after, that charming lass called Zhenzhen became extremely passionate as she randomly threw out coquettish glances. She would also seize the opportunity from time to time and use her soft breast to rub against Yang Dingtian’s arm.

This might be the Heaven Dao Union’s business, but they weren’t really related to the Heaven Dao Union and were commoners that were hired.

Yang Dingtian didn’t really expect that he would be enjoying such great treatment in this place.

Soon enough, that Second Class Supervisor delivered a stack of thin crystal cards.

There were three cards that had the value of 10,000 gold coins, five cards that had the value of 5,000 gold coins, and the rest were cards with 1,000 gold coins value.

Yang Dingtian carefully observed these crystal cards and noticed that the stripes inside them were much more complicated than the cash notes on Earth. Furthermore, they had a special energy, which was basically impossible to make forgeries.

Such crystal cards were basically the currency in this world, and they were issued by the Heaven Dao Union.

Right now, Yang Dingtian had a deeper understanding of the Heaven Dao Union. If this world had a regime, then the Heaven Dao Union would be the one with the most political power in this world.

Regular gold coins, silver coins could be produced and issued by the Cloud Heaven City and similar factions. But only the Heaven Dao Union was responsible for issuing the large numbers of crystal cards.

After the Hidden Sect secluded themselves, Yin Yang Section and the Mystic Heaven Sect took in charge of the Heaven Dao Union. Hence, it was true to say that Dongfang Bingling had the authority to topple the world.

*******************************************

After selling the blood black gold, Yang Dingtian arrived at the large retail store.

“I need ten fourth-grade Fire Soul Crystals, one fifth-grade blazing fire attribute demonic beast’s blood, ten stalks of Sky Killing Grass, three taels of Demon Fire Stalactites!”

The attending shopkeeper’s eyes instantly lit up as it was another large deal. He immediately knew that the items were for conducting the fourth stage of the cleansing of marrow and meridians. But he felt that it was rather strange as those who could conduct the fourth stage of cleansing would normally be disciples from middle or large scale factions. They should be able to conduct the cleansing in their factions and would seldom buy these materials from their shops. But this was unrelated to him, and he just had to bother about making money from the business.

“We have them. We have them. Will this distinguished guest please wait?” The shopkeeper asked.

“How much for them?” Yang Dingtian asked.

“A total of 90,000 gold coins.” The shopkeeper replied.

Master Dongfang Niemie said they were 80,000 gold coins, but they were being sold for 90,000 gold coins. It seemed like there had been some inflation in the world.

“I do not have enough money on me right now. Prepare the things, and I will come and buy them once I have enough.” Yang Dingtian said.

That shopkeeper’s smile didn’t change as he nodded and responded, “Yes!”

Immediately after, Yang Dingtian said, “I want to sell one Beast Soul Elixir. How does it work?”

That shopkeeper took a breath and paused for a moment before speaking with a trembling voice, “Could I ask what grade is the Beast Soul Elixir?”

“Sixth-grade.” Yang Dingtian answered.

That shopkeeper’s eyes shook before he bowed and said, “I don’t have the authority for this transaction. Will this guest please wait while I invite our chief shopkeeper to negotiate with you? Will you please follow me into the VIP room?”

Subsequently, that shopkeeper led Yang Dingtian into the sumptuous VIP room.

Inside, there were two female attendants who were both beauties that could only be found 1 in 100. They were wearing brocade clothing and were so respectful that they didn’t make a sound when walking.

A few minutes later, the VIP room’s door was opened, and a beauty dressed in a long purple dress had walked in.

She was very tall and wasn’t inferior to Yang Dingtian. She had a great figure and was comparable to those of Victoria’s Secret models on Earth. Moreover, she was wearing a long dress which had a feeling that it was a uniform and was similar to the cheongsams on Earth, which had a very high split. When she was walking, it was very attractive.

“I am this auction house’s Fifth Shopkeeper, Su Mei. I heard that this guest has a sixth-grade Beast Soul Elixir to auction?” The woman spoke.

“That’s right.” Yang Dingtian said and took out the sixth-grade Beast Soul Elixir and asked, “May I ask, how much is it worth?”

“The lowest price of 500,000 gold coins and as high as 1.5 million gold coins. It might be even higher.” Su Mei replied.

“Why is the difference so big?” Yang Dingtian was astonished.

“This guest must be jesting. The sixth-grade also has its high and low. The higher the grade of the Beast Soul Elixir, the harder it is to improve further. Hence, the price between a sixth-grade class 1 and sixth-grade class 9 price is several times different.” Su Mei said, “Will this guest please wait for a moment? I will go invite our Beast Speaker to evaluate your Beast Soul Elixir, and I will give you an estimate price.”

“Alright.” Yang Dingtian responded.

A few minutes later, a Beast Speaker arrived. It was a man so old that his age could no longer be judged. He was so skinny that he was simply bones wrapped with skin and was at least 80 or 90 years old.

Such a person could simply be addressed as the shop’s treasure.

“Senior, please take a look at this sixth-grade Beast Soul Elixir.” Su Mei was extremely respectful, even though she was the Fifth Shopkeeper.

After the Beast Speaker entered, he didn’t speak and immediately picked up that Beast Soul Elixir. He closed his eyes slightly and used his spirit to sense it.

At this moment, the incomparably charming Su Mei was already holding her breath.

The entire VIP room instantly filled with silence.

All of a sudden, the Beast Speaker’s face shivered and revealed an unfathomable expression. Subsequently, he quickly regained his calm expression.

A few minutes later, the Beast Speaker gradually opened his turbid and aged eyes.

“Senior, what class is this sixth-grade Beast Soul Elixir?” Su Mei asked.

“Sixth-grade class 1.” The Beast Speaker said.

Yang Dingtian was slightly disappointed in his heart, but 500,000 gold coins were already quite a substantial amount. It was totally enough for him to buy the materials for the cleansing of the marrow and meridians. But it might not be sufficient to purchase the materials for the ice attribute and thunder attribute mystic talismans.

“But, its potential could reach eighth-grade class 8.” The Beast Speaker said.

“What?” Su Mei exclaimed and looked at Yang Dingtian with disbelief.

Potential meant that this Beast Soul Elixir still had room for improvement and could be continued to nourish and temper. It could reach as high as eighth-grade class 8.

An eighth-grade class 8 Beast Soul Elixir was already very frightening. It could subdue a Master class demonic beast, martial soul.

If that were the case, it would have a sky-high price. Ningning’s talents were astounding indeed, and she was actually able to refine a Beast Soul Elixir with the potential of eighth-grade.

“Senior, then how much is this Beast Soul Elixir worth?” Su Mei asked.

“I don’t know.” The Beast Speaker said, “As no one would directly sell a Beast Soul Elixir of such a grade. Its price would be dependable on how much a person desired it and how much money the person would be willing to pay. Such an item can only be auctioned off.”

Su Mei’s beautiful eyes lit up instantly and said, “Just in time. There is an auction tomorrow which already has a final auction item, but still lacks some heavyweight treasures.”

Immediately after, Su Mei asked, “Mister Shen, are you willing to put this Beast Soul Elixir on the auction tomorrow?”

“Sure. Can I ask, what kind of heavyweight items are on the auction tomorrow?” Yang Dingtian asked as he was rather curious. Since his Beast Soul Elixir could reach such a sky-high price, it still wasn’t the final item on the auction? What could the final item?

“What does Mister Shen need?” Su Mei asked.

“Weapons and mystic skill manuals.” Yang Dingtian replied.

Yang Dingtian only had one mystic skill right now, and it was the thunder attribute mystic skill, Devil Heaven Split. But this mystic skill couldn’t be used most of the time. Once he used the thunder attribute mystic skill, it would be associated with the Hidden Sect disciple, Wu Ming. Hence, unless there were any other choices, Yang Dingtian wouldn’t use the thunder attribute mystic skill. Even if he had to use it, he would have to kill the opposition and must not allow another living person to see it.

Thus, Yang Dingtian was in dire need of an incredible mystic skill.

As for the weapon... Firstly, his youngling sword was still in a deep slumber, and Yang Dingtian required a weapon. Secondly, Yang Dingtian was currently in disguise as Shen Lang, who was a wanderer. Hence, he required a completely different kind of weapon.

Most importantly, Yang Dingtian wanted to use Shen Lang’s identity to sneak into the Northwest Qin City. He wanted to find a way to obtain the other half of the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame map. Therefore, the weapon must be sufficiently powerful.

“There just happened to be an eighth-grade mystic skill manual, Devil Flame Saber Art!” Su Mei added, “But, that is the final auction item, and there will surely be a lot of people striving for it.”

Eighth-grade mystic skill!?

Yang Dingtian’s heart thumped vigorously. He instantly had a feeling that he was slightly suffocated.

In this world, mystic skill and martial skill scrolls were entirely different and were entirely unique. All of the higher graded mystic skills were left behind from ancient times. It could be said that every scroll learned was every scroll less.

Sixth-grade mystic skills were already sky-high in price, let alone eighth-grade mystic skills!

If the auction house used the eighth-grade mystic skill manual as the final item and not Yang Dingtian’s potential eighth-grade Beast Soul Elixir, it would mean that this eighth-grade mystic skill manual was going to be more expensive.

In the end, it would surely have an astronomical price!

Yang Dingtian didn’t have any confidence in getting this manual, in fact, he didn’t have enough money at all. All his money was going to come from the auctioning of the potential eighth-grade Beast Soul Elixir. Furthermore, even if he could auction the eighth-grade mystic skill manual, he wouldn’t be able to keep it. As long as he left the auction house, it would probably be plundered.

“Is Mister Shen worried about safety?” Su Mei asked.

Yang Dingtian nodded.

“Then you can be at ease. Tomorrow’s auction will be using anonymous names. No one would know who had auctioned the item.” Su Mei said, “Moreover, for tomorrow’s auction, the Heaven Dao Union would send four Master class experts to oversee it. No one would dare to act recklessly. Furthermore, nothing has ever happened in our auctions.”

“Then, I will be at ease.” Yang Dingtian said, “According to your estimate, will the auction price of my potential eighth-grade beast soul elixir be able to buy that eighth-grade mystic skill manual?”

“It shouldn’t be enough, it might be very far off. After all, the eighth-grade mystic skill manual is truly too precious.” Su Mei cautiously phrased her words.
