Perfect World: Starting from Becoming Sister Huang

Chapter 47 Classic Auction

"Bye now!"

At the gate of the inner city of the palace, Shi Zhao waved to the two large Bi'an beasts squatting at either end.

The current sacrificial spirit of the Stone Kingdom is an old Bi'an, which resides in the deepest part of the royal palace.

The first sacrificial spirit of the Stone Kingdom was a stone that struck the gods, and its molted stone body became the Imperial Seal of the Kingdom, condensing the fortune of the entire nation and becoming the most precious treasure of the Stone Kingdom.

Before leaving, Shi Zhao talked with Shi Huang for a long time and took the opportunity to examine the jade seal, the Emperor's Seal. It was indeed extraordinary and greatly shocked him.

"I never thought that this old man would be pardoned one day." The Third Grandfather looked towards the capital, then back at the palace, and finally his gaze fell on the young girl beside him, sighing deeply.

"It's a crow, it's a crow! His Majesty the Emperor is so good to Miss," Aman said.

Shi Zhao curled his lips. How could it not be good? He had exchanged the ancient pill formula and information about the Eight Domains Calamity for it. Of course, the Emperor Shi would grant any request for such a small matter.

The capital was bustling with activity. The three of them strolled around, all in high spirits, and learned about recent events from the conversations and discussions of passersby.

Unsurprisingly, the topics of conversation among cultivators were almost always about Shi Yi, since double pupils were the eyes of an ancient deity, making him too easy to recognize.

At his age, Shi Yi had broken records one after another in the Void God Realm, earning a formidable reputation and becoming the most popular figure in the capital during this period.

"Those with double pupils are born geniuses. They are already so strong at only eight or nine years old. It is truly awe-inspiring. They will surely dominate the world in the future."

"The Martial King's Mansion is truly blessed to have produced such a prodigy. Perhaps he can even contend for the throne of the Human Emperor in the future, which would be even more extraordinary!"

"I heard that Shi Yi seems to have returned from the Ancient Divine Mountain. It seems to be related to what happened when he broke the record last time. The Martial King's Mansion and the Rain Clan are both helping him find someone."

"Well, speaking of the Rain Clan, we have to mention the Western Frontier..."

"Shh, keep your voice down. Some things shouldn't be said carelessly."

Along the way, Shi Zhao listened attentively to everything around him while shopping along the streets, preparing to bring some gifts back to the village. He was extremely generous, only buying the most expensive items.

Oh, and by the way, thank you to Stone Emperor for the generous donation.

In the end, the three passed by the Prince Wu's mansion, gazed at it from afar for a while, but ultimately did not go in.

After wandering around for a while, Shi Zhao stopped in front of a large building.

"The Bone Gu Auction House." Her eyes lit up. "Let's go in and take a look."

Auctions are a classic must-see event; I've been wanting to come and see one for a long time.

After all, we're already here...

At the entrance of the auction house, two dragon beasts, one gold and one silver, were squatting guard, looking quite impressive. I didn't encounter any acquaintances, nor did I see anyone fighting or robbing for treasure at the entrance.

Shi Zhao glanced at the intact skeleton of Ya Zi in the hall, and a ray of light silently flashed through the tattered cloth in his mind, imprinting the precious technique in its original talisman bone.

Your skill is excellent; it's mine now!

She smiled without saying a word and gracefully walked inside.

Although their clothes looked ordinary, a closer look revealed that the material was extraordinary. The waiter who greeted them had a keen eye and dared not be negligent in the slightest.

They noticed that the young woman in the lead had an extraordinary and refined air about her, and assumed she was a low-key and noble person. Naturally, there was no pretentious or embarrassing incident.

Shi Zhao felt a little regretful, but casually tipped the waiter.

"Distinguished guests, please enter the VIP room. Today's auction will begin soon." The waiter smiled and bowed, gesturing for guests to enter.

A beautiful young woman opened the door to them from the sandalwood doorway. The interior was also luxurious, with various rare jade ornaments that shimmered in the sunlight.

As soon as Shi Zhao sat down, A Man picked up the wine pot on the table and poured wine, not giving the girl a chance to get close.

"I don't drink." Shi Zhao shook her head, watching her maid secretly grinding her teeth. She raised her eyebrows slightly and couldn't help but chuckle, "Unless you, A-Man, feed me."

Ah Man immediately beamed with joy, leaned forward, and brought the wine cup to me with her small hands.

Third Grandfather sat on the other side, watching them play with a smile.

Soon, the auction began. A young girl next to her pulled up a scroll, revealing an empty wall behind the painting, through which everything in the auction hall could be clearly seen.

Shi Zhao secretly opened his spiritual eye. Although it had only condensed into a rudimentary form and was not yet fully complete, it was already able to see through many hidden things.

Unfortunately, it was just an ordinary auction with nothing particularly rare or valuable. She casually bid on a few materials for refining weapons and then stopped.

She only perked up when the auction was almost over.

A silvery stone was displayed; it was very shiny and had a metallic sheen.

The auctioneer said that this was a star stone, which likely contained star sand, a top-grade material for refining artifacts and could be used to forge divine weapons; its value was astonishing.

The problem is that if there is no stardust inside, then it is just a stone with little divinity, its value is greatly reduced, and it can be said to be no different from gambling on stones.

Without hesitation, Shi Zhao made his move and won the bid without spending too much precious jade.

The highlight of the auction was a treasure, which she wasn't particularly interested in. However, the last item on the list was a rare treasure: a jade bottle filled with a liquid as blue as chalcedony.

"The last treasure, Sea Spirit Liquid, although not a true divine liquid, is still incredibly valuable. It is formed from the essence of the sea and can be used in medicine and for crafting weapons, second only to a true divine liquid!" the auctioneer said.

This was a true treasure. As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, people started bidding one after another, and the scene suddenly became lively and intense.

Shi Zhao watched the show with great interest but did not participate. She didn't have much need for this thing and wasn't particularly eager for it.

The result was that the price of Hailing Liquid was unstoppable, which was somewhat unexpected.

"Everyone, that's enough! My Rain Clan wants this!" A clear, childlike voice rang out, clearly belonging to a young girl.

"Hey, the Rain Clan really came." Someone said in a low voice.

"It should be Yu Zimo, one of the two prodigies of the Rain Clan. I heard she was born with spiritual insight and is extremely extraordinary." Someone else spoke up, seemingly guessing, but actually speaking with certainty.

In fact, as soon as the Sea Spirit Liquid was brought to the auction, the news spread. Everyone knew that the Rain Clan was naturally compatible with water and would definitely not let go of this rare treasure.

Those who raised the price were not from the auction house, because there was no need for it; once the news was released, other forces would come to obstruct it.

There are plenty of people willing to do the disgusting thing of raising prices.

Third Grandfather explained the reason to Aman, who was somewhat puzzled, but Shi Zhao suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and called out a price, interrupting everyone's thoughts.

She wasn't afraid of any Rain Clan; they were the disgusting ones.

On the other side, Yu Ziming was stunned upon hearing this. Logically speaking, since the name of the Yu Clan had already been mentioned, raising the price further would be a bit too forward.

"Which faction is this, so ignorant of the rules?" A young man next to him asked with a gloomy expression.

Yu Ziming glanced at the source of the sound, but her innate spiritual insight was ineffective at this moment, and she was unable to understand the cause and effect.

She could only tell from the voice that it belonged to a young woman.

"Sea Spirit Liquid is very important to our clan, and we cannot afford to lose it under any circumstances," said the Rain Clan elder in the private room, as they had no choice but to continue bidding.

Shi Zhao didn't give in at all, and with a slight parting of her cherry lips, she was determined to stand her ground and not back down.

This truly shocked the onlookers, and many realized that no matter who won the bid for the Sea Spirit Liquid, a fight was about to break out.
