Scientifically Cultivating In An Unscientific World - Chapter 28

Chapter 28 The First Item of the Star-picking Pavilion’s Auction

“Seventh prince, the auction is about to begin.”

In a private room on the third floor, Fu Cheng, who was dressed in a black robe, stood respectfully in front of Jing Yuan’s bed and reminded him.

Jing Yuan, who had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, stopped breathing. His aura slowly calmed down, and his eyes opened. “Is there anything on the way?”.

Jing Yuan slowly stood up in his formal clothes, and then used his spiritual energy to activate a black-rank mid-grade spiritual weapon that he was carrying His appearance changed again magically. He returned to the appearance of the middle-aged attendant, and his temperament changed as well. “No.”

Fu Cheng, who was wearing a black hood, also returned to his arrogant temperament as soon as he finished his words.

The two of them then lifted the restriction and left the loft.

They slowly walked towards the open auction area below the loft.

At the same time, there was a light knock on the door from outside Lu Ming’s room.

“Young Master Gu, the auction is about to begin.”

The person who came was indeed the master of the star-picking pavilion, Sikong Xuan.

Lu Ming, who had just finished flipping through the catalogue, was resting his mind with his eyes closed.

After hearing the voice, he immediately used the token in the room to remove the restriction and said, “Enter.”

Sikong Xuan had also changed out of his jewellery-like clothes and into a green-ink robe.

He walked into the room and immediately handed the storage ring in his palm to Lu Ming.

“This is the spiritual tool and talisman that you took a fancy to before. I’ve helped you store it in this storage ring.” “This storage ring is considered a gift from the star-picking pavilion to you. You can check if there are any unsuitable spiritual tools later.”

Lu Ming took it and put it on his left finger. At the same time, he used his spiritual power to force out a drop of blood to recognize him as its owner.

After checking that there were no problems, he took it off and put it into the Heaven and Earth pouch on his waist.

Lu Ming thought of this. Since he was going to disguise himself as a disciple of an Alchemy Master, he naturally wouldn’t say that he didn’t even have a better storage spiritual tool like the storage ring. What he did was tell Sikong Xuan that he didn’t just have a Heaven and Earth pouch, but he was only using the Heaven and Earth pouch for the sake of safety.

Who knew how many storage rings there were in this Heaven and Earth pouch?

“Hmm, there are no problems with these spiritual tools and talismans. Is the auction about to begin?”

Lu Ming returned to his icy crown prince appearance and looked at Sikong Xuan.

“Yes, Young Master Gu, you don’t have to go down either.”

“As an honored guest, you can stay in the reception hall on the fourth floor to join in the auction.”

The rules of the star-picking pavilion were that guests below the third floor had to go to the auction hall on the first floor before they could participate in the auction.

However, honored guests in the private rooms on the fourth floor could sit in the reception hall on the fourth floor and did not have to go down.

This was because the status of most of the guests who could stay on the fourth floor were elders of the major sects and even the peak masters of the various peaks. Their status was extremely high.

Originally, after the imperial family of the Great Xia Kingdom took out their tokens on the third floor, they could also stay in the private rooms on the fourth floor.

After all, although the Great Xia Kingdom wasn’t a cultivation sect, it was still the largest secular dynasty in the Central Region. However, it was obvious that the other party didn’t want to completely expose his identity. It was too eye-catching, so he rejected his previous inquiries and arrangements. Following that, the two of them went to a specially built hall on the fourth floor.

The interior of the hall was decorated with exquisite decorations, and there were various kinds of spirit fruits and wines.

Lu Ming sat down and found that the view here was wide, facing the auction platform in front of him.

At this moment, all the guests from each storey of the pavilion, including those who had just arrived from the outside, had gathered in front of the auction platform on the first floor.

It seemed that there were nearly a hundred cultivation practitioners, including several disciples of the big aristocratic families of Green Mountain City.

The noisy conversations continued below.

Jing Yuan, who was disguised as a middle-aged attendant, and Fu Cheng, who was wearing a black robe, had already sat far away from the high platform. After all, their goal today was just to get a batch of Foundation Establishment pills.

There was no need to show off too much.

At the same time, Yelulan and Batu, who had heard about the pill news in the restaurant, also found a corner and sat down and were very quiet.

When the auction hall was already filled with people, Sikong Xuan also revealed a smile on his face.

Although his star-picking pavilion would normally be full, that would usually take a long time. How could it be that it was already packed with people in less than fifteen minutes?

As expected, the medicinal pill advertisement with a completion rate of 100% was still extremely effective.

At the same time, after Sikong Xuan inspected the reception hall on the fourth floor, he also saw the two people who had taken out the imperial family token. When he saw that the other party was currently sitting peacefully, he also let out a long sigh of relief in his heart.

Although he did not know if the two of them had heard the news that the finale item was not a rumor, or if they would continue to come after him because of it, however, he believed that the value of the finale item was not lower than the value of a Nascent Soul Stage talisman.

Especially since there were many descendants of the Great Xia royal family, these pills might be of some use.

Even if a pill like the spirit gathering pill was auctioned off and the imperial family’s personal guards brought it with them, it would still be of great use in the face of danger. Sikong Xuan believed that the star picker from the star-picking pavilion could explain the value of all sorts of auction items. As the only person who had obtained the auction catalogue, Lu Ming was also taking the opportunity before the auction officially began to confirm the items that he had his eyes on and the order in which they would be auctioned.

The items that he had his eyes on were not all extremely popular items.

After all, he was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage right now, and his focus was on defensive spiritual tools and talismans. Therefore, the first item in the auction was his target.

Right at this moment, the door of the star-picking pavilion closed and tonight’s auction officially began. On the high platform of the auction hall, two figures emerged with swords on their backs.

They were in the middle stage of the Core Formation Stage!

At the same time, several obscure auras appeared in the depths of every corner of the auction hall.

The huge star-picking pavilion of Green Mountain City showed its true colors.

Therefore, the auction hall became quiet in an instant.

Then, a woman wearing a purple dress, revealing her beautiful shoulders and legs, with a voluptuous figure and stunning appearance, slowly walked onto the high platform.

She was Situ Muxue, a star picker from the star-picking pavilion of Green Mountain City.

As she walked, her curvaceous figure became more obvious under the tight wrap of the dress.

A few gazes below the auction platform became heated because of this.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that with the reputation of our star-picking pavilion, we don’t need to worry about the value of the items auctioned today. You are all people of noble status, and I don’t want to waste time talking nonsense.”

“Then let’s directly look at the first item of our star-picking pavilion’s auction today.”

“A black-rank mid-grade defensive spiritual tool — water-rock armor.”

Under the gazes of over a hundred people, Situ Muxue’s slender jade-like finger pointed at the spiritual tool that the attendant had brought up and said with a gentle smile.
