Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]-Chapter 166: Auction 1

Time passed, and before they knew it, it was the auction day.

On this day, three men – a plump middle-aged man, an ordinary-looking young man, and a handsome man – left a small courtyard in Dragon City.

Without delay, the three walked towards the city centre and soon arrived at the entrance of the Myriad Treasures Pavillion auction hall.

At this time, more than sixty people were already waiting outside the hall.

Most importantly, three familiar people were guarding the entrance.

[How can the young master of Myriad Treasures Pavillion be guarding the entrance?] Shen Xu transmitted in a confused voice.

[They are looking for us.] Zhen Yuan said, his lips twitching in amusement.

[Brother Yuan, what do you know? Come to think of it, what happened to the gift you previously prepared?]

[As expected, the four people found our inn room, bribed the innkeeper, and attempted to forcibly enter the room. One died, and the other three were seriously injured.]

[When did this happen?] Shen Xu couldn’t help but be surprised.

[It happened two months ago when you were preparing the auction goods. They have been looking for us since then.]

Hearing this, Shen Xu snorted and subtly looked at the three.

’Their complexion is a little bad. It would be good if they haven’t recovered.’ He thought, and a trace of schadenfreude flashed in his eyes.

At the door, Song Wanzhang looked at the crowd with a gloomy expression.

"Don’t let me catch those two female cultivators." He muttered through gritted teeth.

"We can’t let them get away with killing Brother He and harming us like this." One of the lackeys said, and the last nodded in agreement.

"We must make them suffer to avenge ourselves and brother He."

With that, the three redoubled their efforts to watch the crowd.

Unfortunately, no matter how they looked, they didn’t see the female cultivators they sought.

"Young master Song, don’t be discouraged. It’s still early, and most people haven’t arrived. I don’t believe those two won’t appear."

Time passed in this way, and more people arrived at the entrance.

Zhen Yuan, Shen Xu, and Lin Xiang saw familiar people from the Divine Rainbow Academy.

However, they didn’t greet them because they didn’t want to expose themselves.

When the auction time was almost there, the doors opened, and the crowd began entering the auction hall.

Zhen Yuan, Shen Xu, and Lin Xiang were no different.

Because Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu had put up some things for auction, they got a private box on the third floor.

At this time, they directly headed to the third floor and settled in their box.

"The service has improved." Shen Xu suddenly said.

"What do you mean?" Lin Xiang asked, looking at the double with a curious expression.

"They only offered level two spiritual fruits during the previous auction. There are some level three spiritual fruits this time around." Shen Xu said, pointing at a fruit platter.

"They probably received some stock from the merchant ship." Zhen Yuan said, reaching for a level three red-skinned tangerine.

In no time, he peeled the tangerine and handed it to his wife.

"Thank you." Shen Xu said, his lips curled in a beautiful smile.

The three devoured the fruit platter while waiting for the auction to start.

An incense stick later, a beautiful female cultivator went on stage.

The woman had waist-length black hair, a graceful figure, and her cultivation was higher than the golden core realm.

[What’s her cultivation?] Shen Xu asked.

[The peak of the nascent soul realm.] Zhen Yuan answered.

"Welcome to the Myriad Treasures Pavillion auction." A melodious voice echoed in the hall, and everyone fell silent.

Seeing this, the auctioneer smiled and quickly continued.

"My name is Song Wanling, and I will be your host for this auction." She said.

"It seems our generation of Song descendants have the prefix ’Wan’." Lin Xiang observed with a thoughtful expression.

"I think the Song family may have a way to communicate with each other across the continents." She said.

"You are right. Otherwise, the elders would not know which prefix to use when naming their children." Shen Xu said.

The auction started soon after.

"The first item is a peak grade level two full-body armour. The armour is of the earth attribute, and its defensive ability is almost equal to a low-grade level three shield. The starting price is ten million low-grade spirit stones, and the price increase can’t be less than one hundred thousand spirit stones."

Almost instantaneously, the audience began to bid.

However, neither Zhen Yuan nor Shen Xu were interested.

After all, they were golden core realm cultivators, and their body-refining was at level three.

Compared to the armour, their bodies were more reliable.

As for Lin Xiang, she wasn’t interested in the armour.

Although her cultivation was only in the mid-stage of the foundation establishment realm, she had enough resources to cultivate to the early stage of the golden core realm.

By her calculation, she would be able to advance to the golden core realm soon after arriving in the Tianqi continent.

After a harsh struggle, the armour sold for nineteen million spirit stones, and Song Wanling moved on to the second item.

"The second item is a bottle of peak grade level two promotion pills. As everyone knows, one promotion pill can allow a foundation establishment realm cultivator to advance one small realm. The bottle has ten pills, and the starting price is two million spirit stones. The price increase cannot be less than one hundred thousand." freewebnσvel.cøm

"Shen Xu, are these yours?" Lin Xiang asked.

"How do you know?" Shen Xu inquired, looking at the girl with an incredulous expression.

"How do I know?" Lin Xiang rolled her eyes before she continued.

"Didn’t you give me a promotion pill before we came to the auction?"

"I did, but I am not the only alchemist who can refine promotion pills."

"You are right, but which other alchemist can refine ten peak grade promotion pills?"

Shen Xu no longer argued when he heard that.
