Five Coloured Snow Lotus
Every once in a while, a grand auction would be held in the Imperial City.
This auction did not belong to any single faction, but was jointly organized by all the Chambers of Commerce. This was done for the sake of fairness, and for the sake of better cooperation between the Chambers of Commerce to achieve a win-win situation.
The auction was set up in the center of the trading point. It was a huge and majestic palace. Even from a few hundred meters away, one could feel the majesty of this palace.
However, the auction had not yet begun, so all the doors of the palace were still closed.
When Chu Xingyun and the others walked into the trading point, it was already crowded. Many cultivators were walking in and out of the shops on both sides. The atmosphere was lively, and the sounds of bargaining could be heard.
"So lively!" Tiger Chu was a bit stunned. He had never seen such a scene before. Even Yan Du and Gu Qing Shan were the same. Their eyes were wide open, and they couldn't help but sigh at how vast the Imperial City was.
Aside from the shops, there were also many cultivators selling their wares. They didn't have any shops, so they simply spread a piece of beast skin on the ground and sat on it. The things they sold were also uneven, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.
"According to the original plan, I'll go buy some spirit materials first" Qin Shan said, then followed Qin Yuyan to a shop that mainly sold spirit materials.
Seeing this, the others also scattered, looking around excitedly to see if there was anything they needed.
"Big brother Chu, there are a lot of people gathered there, let's go take a look" Luo Lan pointed to a shop. There were many people gathered there, and from time to time, there would be a few exclamations. It was unknown what they were selling.
Chu Xingyun was also a bit curious. As soon as he stepped out, his eyes trembled.
Inside the shop, a short old man with a white beard stood, smiling as he introduced his items to the crowd.
In front of the old man, there was a five-coloured stone platform. On top of it was a fist-sized lotus flower that was emitting a brilliant five-coloured light, causing many people to exclaim in admiration.
Chu Xingyun didn't care about the five-coloured lotus flower, but looked at the two figures behind the old man.
It was a man and a woman. The man was wearing a luxurious brocade robe and had a handsome face. The woman was wearing a rainbow-colored dress and exuded a coquettish aura. The two of them walked side by side and seemed very compatible.
These two people were Luo Sheng and Shui Qianyue.
"Five Colored Snow Lotus?" When Yan Du saw the description next to the stone table, he exclaimed in surprise, "This is a grade five spirit material. It's extremely precious. Why is it being sold here instead of at an auction?"
Luo Lan's mouth was wide open. With a longing look, she said, "What a beautiful lotus flower. It's actually emitting a five-colored light. No wonder it attracted so many people."
Chu Xingyun couldn't help but laugh, "Although the Five Colored Snow Lotus is beautiful, its most attractive aspect is that it contains an enormous amount of pure life force. If a martial artist can completely refine this life force, not only can it temper their body, it will also have a great nourishing effect on their Spirit Sea. It can be said to be a rare and precious spiritual material."
"Wait!" Chu Xingyun was stunned. He whispered in a low voice, "Luo Lan has just stepped into the Spirit Gathering Realm and needs an enormous amount of life force. Moreover, because of the Nine Star Water Lotus, Wu Ling, Luo Lan can completely absorb the life force of the Five Colored Snow Lotus without leaking anything."
Thinking of this, Chu Xingyun pondered for a moment and immediately led the group over.
At this time, the shop was already crowded with martial artists. They were all here for the Five Colored Snow Lotus. Their eyes were wide open and all of them were shining with greed.
"We are well aware of the preciousness of this Five Colored Snow Lotus, but the price of five thousand spirit stones is a bit too expensive, can you make it cheaper?" A tall and sturdy warrior said in a low voice, his eyes fixed on the Five Colored Snow Lotus.
"Cheaper?" The white-bearded elder was a little angry. "Even an ordinary Level Five Spiritual Material costs around three thousand Spirit Stones. The Five Colored Snow Lotus is the best Level Five Spiritual Material. Its value is equivalent to a Saint Tier martial art. Five thousand Spirit Stones is already the lowest price. Other than our Luoshui Trade Union, there is no other shop!"
Luo Sheng walked out and smiled faintly. "Today is the grand opening of my Luoshui Trade Union. That's why I'm taking out this Five Colored Snow Lotus and selling it at such a low price. If everyone feels that it's not suitable, you can come to the shop to take a look. Maybe there are other things you like."
After he finished speaking, the crowd looked at each other. They all understood the reason.
The Five Colored Snow Lotus was extremely precious. Not to mention five thousand Spirit Stones, even ten thousand Spirit Stones would not be considered excessive.
In order to attract more people, the Luoshui Trade Union deliberately lowered the price by so much. It was already very kind of them. Many martial artists were envious and felt very conflicted. They wanted to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Not long after, a white-haired elder walked out of the crowd. He seemed to have made up his mind. "This Five Colored Snow Lotus, I want it!"
Luo Sheng's eyes curved into crescents as he smiled and said, "No problem. Money and goods."
The white-haired elder nodded and took out a storage ring. He was about to complete the transaction with Luo Sheng.
"Such a precious Five Colored Snow Lotus, selling it for only five thousand Spirit Stones is indeed a good price. However, this Five Colored Snow Lotus is withering. Not only is its vitality declining, it will also release a violent poison. If consumed, I'm afraid that in less than three days, you will be poisoned to death."
An incomparably ear-piercing voice rang out, causing everyone to stop what they were doing. Looking over, they saw Chu Xingyun and his group walking over with a mocking smile on their cheeks.
When the black-clothed elder heard Chu Xingyun's words, he immediately took back the storage ring. His eyes widened as he said, "What? This Five Colored Snow Lotus has already withered and still contains a violent poison? "
"Nonsense. How could my Luoshui Trade Union deceive others!"
Luo Sheng's eyes flashed with panic. His face immediately became angry. He pointed at Chu Xingyun and roared, "Everyone, this person and I have some personal grudges. What he said just now was just alarmist talk to slander the reputation of my Luoshui Trade Union. I hope that everyone will not be deceived!"
"That's right. This kid is extremely sinister. He specializes in harming others to benefit himself. The people around him aren't good people either. Everyone, please keep your eyes open and don't listen to rumors. Men, throw them out immediately!" Shui Qianyue also shouted. With a wave of her hand, a dozen martial artists immediately rushed out and surrounded Chu Xingyun and his group.
