Chapter 768 - Heaven Paintings as the Finale

Chapter 768: Heaven Paintings as the Finale

Boss, are you mad?


Young Master…

In no.555 pavilion, Qian Wanguan and Feng Luan both exclaimed at the same time when Jiang Yi suddenly struck a portion of essence force into the crystal ball and yelled out the sky-high price of 3.1 billion celestial stones!
Jiang Yi didn’t bid earlier. Everyone knew clearly that he had the Thunder Fire, and even if he had a pseudo-divine artifact, it wouldn’t increase his combat strength drastically. Hence, everyone assumed that he wouldn’t compete for this World-Extinguishing Halberd.
Of course, most importantly… even if they added up all their celestial stones, they only had over 300 million. Even if this pseudo-divine artifact was worth 100 million celestial stones, they still couldn’t afford to buy it.
Jiang Yi let out a light smile. He didn’t explain and simply asked everyone to not panic.



Four billion!

As expected, an indifferent voice immediately echoed, which was Young Master Lin shouting with his essence force poured into his voice. The young masters from the 13 Clans didn’t have a lack of celestial stones and would allow some nobody to surpass them in public. Now that all the 13 Clans were gathered and the Demon Race Princess was here too, the Lu Clan couldn’t afford to lose their face here.

Wow!

There was an uproar at the bottom. The auction started off with such explosion right from the beginning? Some actually dared to compete with the 13 Clans? This person was truly brave. Was he not afraid the Lu Clan might take revenge afterward? The Situ Merchant Association might keep the person’s identity inside the pavilion to be confidential, and the Lu Clan might not be influential in Gods Bestow City, but they were still one of the 13 Clans, right?

4.1 billion!

A light voice echoed from pavilion no.555 again, and it was another increase of 100 million, which caused everyone below to stay quiet. If it was a competition earlier, right now, this customer from no.555 pavilion was obviously targeting Lu Lin and intentionally increasing the price.
That’s right!
Jiang Yi was indeed targeting Lu Lin. When he heard Lu Lin’s voice, his entire body was just in a bad mood. Jiang Xiaonu was his trigger point, and Lu Lin actually wanted to forcefully marry her? If Jiang Yi had the capability, he would definitely kill Lu Lin, but right now, he didn’t have that capability to kill Lu Lin. Since Jiang Yi had this opportunity to take revenge on Lu Lin, he couldn’t hold himself back.
Jiang Yi had risked it all since they might be exposed today. If the Situ Clan were not reliable, the 13 Clans would surely know of their information after the Heaven Paintings were sold. If the Situ Clan were reliable, even if Jiang Yi was to compete in a bidding war with the Lu Clan, they still wouldn’t be able to find out his information.

Five billion!



Lu Lin yelled out again without any hesitation, and his voice was filled with provocation. Many people on the first floor were looking at pavilion no.555 and seeing if that person would bid again. This time, Jiang Yi remained silent as things shouldn’t be repeated for more than three times. If Jiang Yi was to continue bidding and Lu Lin got restrained by a Lu Clan’s elder, Lu Lin wouldn’t make a counter bid; and Jiang Yi would have to buy this World-Extinguishing Halberd.
Situ Yinian waited for a moment, and when she saw that no one was calling out, she smiled and said,
A treasure halberd is worthy for a hero. If no one is going to bid, then this World-Extinguishing Halberd shall belong to Young Master Lin. Three, two, one, alright! Congratulations to Young Master Lin for bidding the first treasure of the auction!

Countless eyes in the hall had lit up. The auction had just started, and it was already so explosive. It seemed like today’s auction was going to be very exciting. They might just be able to auction out the highest priced item in history.
The second auction item had been brought up, and it was a beautiful inner armor, but it wasn’t a pseudo-divine artifact and was a transcending divine artifact. The only special thing about it was the runic patterns added onto the armor by an expert. It could withstand against a peak-stage Heaven Monarch’s attack, but it could only withstand it for a single time. Once the armor withstood against the attack from the peak-stage Heaven Monarch, it would shatter.
The inner armor was sold for 300 million, and no one had called out a bid from the second and third floor.
The third auction item was brought up quickly, and it was a beautiful coat which was entirely knitting with the purple marten fur. A good-looking female attendant wore it out, and it looked magnificent. Of course, this Purple Marten Coat wasn’t just good-looking as it also had a defensive capability and could defend against soul spirit attacks.
Feng Luan, Qing Yu, and Jiang Xiaonu’s eyes lit up, but they regained their composure quickly as they were afraid Jiang Yi might have the urge to bid again.
The Purple Marten Coat was competed for intensively, and many young ladies from the second and third floor had called out for it. Jiang Yi noticed that most of the people didn’t use the restrictions to alter their voice and were using their original voice. It was obvious that there were intentionally exposing and revealing themselves, just like the young masters, as they were trying to mutually attract one another.
Finally, this Purple Marten Coat had been bought by the Lei Clan’s Young Lady Lei Zihan for one billion celestial stones while Jiang Yi shook his head with a bitter smile. Apart from the great outward appearance, this coat’s functionality could be utterly ignored by the Lei Clan’s young lady. For her to buy it at such a sky-high price, it showed how wealthy and willful the young lady from the Lei Clan was.
The following auction items were some special treasures and didn’t have much value. Jiang Yi didn’t speak again while Big Sister Bell had stayed silent as well. Huangfu Taotian at the bottom seemed to be sleeping as he remained quiet with his head lowered and didn’t even open his eyes once.Read more chapter on our vipnovel.com


Situ Yinian had great control of the pace and didn’t have any delay at all. In just one hour, 50 items had been auctioned off, and there wasn’t a single dummy bid while all the prices were 50 million celestial stones and above.

Alright, the first segment of the auction is coming to an end. Let us please bring up the final treasure of the first segment, and it is a finale auction item!

As Situ Yinian’s voice ended, the entire hall was quiet; and there were many expectant eyes. The finale was generally some great items, and this auction had been putting out great quality. What could the first segment’s finale treasure be?
Shh-shh-shh!
Ten female attendants walked up and there were five of them holding onto a painting scroll. They paired up and held each end of the painting and gradually opened it up.

Uh… Boss, those are your ‘Volcano Eruption in the Sea’ paintings!

Qian Wanguan jolted up. Previously Situ Hong had mentioned that he received a few hundred Heaven Paintings, and Qian Wanguan didn’t think much about it. He finally understood that the few hundred Heaven Paintings were actually painted by Jiang Yi.
It was obvious that the Purple Dragon Merchant Association didn’t sell the paintings after purchasing them and had brought them here for the auction. Qian Wanguan understood after thinking about it. How much could they actually sell it in the Purple Dragon City? With so many influential people in this auction, the price would definitely double.
There was a wave of discussions from the bottom as plenty of people took casual glances and couldn’t see any dao presence from the paintings. Instead, they felt that the painting skill was just ordinary, and all five of the paintings were exactly the same. How could such a thing be used for a finale?
Situ Yinian let out a light smile and raised her hand to stop the clamor from below.
Everyone, these paintings aren’t just ordinary paintings and are Heaven Paintings. They contain the dao presence of the Power of Fire. Everyone should know of the value of Heaven Paintings, and they could be passed down for generations for your descendants to observe the painting and comprehend the Power of Fire dao pattern. Furthermore… these paintings are all painted by the same person. The painting skills might not be proficient, but with time, when his painting skills improve, the person would definitely become an Art Emperor! By then, the price of these paintings would increase by ten folds or even a hundred folds!



Situ Yinian paused for a moment before continuing,
We have 600 of the exact paintings, and all of them had been appraised by our art appraiser, and all of them are Heaven Paintings. The seller has requested for the 600 Heaven Paintings to be split into six portions with 100 paintings each. Now for the auction for 100
Volcano Eruption in the Sea
painting, the base price is 500 million celestial stones, and every increment must not be lesser than 100 million!


Wow!

There was a huge commotion as many of the smaller clans wanted to compete but immediately withered. They cursed at the seller’s crafty methods as they bundled up 100 paintings at once. This meant that many of the clans would lose their opportunity, and only the larger clans would be able to compete for it. They had no choice but to endure this loss.

What a huge loss…

Qian Wanguan rolled his eyes. They had sold the 600 Heaven Paintings for just 800 million, and after the Qu Clan got them, they were able to sell 100 paintings for 800 million to one billion celestial stones.
