Enemies are bound to meet.
"Two hundred thousand taels of silver?"
Chu Xingyun's body trembled slightly, apparently shocked by the price. He thought that the [Nine Layered Waves of Blue Waves] would at most sell for one hundred thousand taels of silver.
"Senior, this price is just my preliminary estimate. The real price should be around three hundred thousand taels of silver. If you are not satisfied, you can name your own price." Seeing Chu Xingyun remain silent, Meng Qing thought that Chu Xingyun was not satisfied with the price and hurriedly explained.
"No need, just follow the rules of the auction house." Chu Xingyun waved his hand. He was very confident in the vision and credibility of the West Wind Auction House.
"Okay." Meng Qing bowed slightly and hurriedly began to prepare for the auction.
Spirit level martial arts were extremely rare in West Wind City. Even at the West Wind Auction House, they would only see it a few times a year.
Therefore, Meng Qing was ready to strike while the iron was hot and auction the [Nine Layered Waves of Blue Waves] tonight. He also passed the news to the major families of West Wind City, wantonly promoting it.
Before long, the major families of West Wind City sent people over, wanting to obtain this Spirit level palm technique. In an instant, the auction hall was crowded with people, bustling with noise and excitement.
Chu Xingyun did not care about the auction process and simply did not pay too much attention to it. He only needed to know the result.
His gaze shifted and fell on Meng Qing, asking, "Manager Meng, do you know where to sell high quality pills in the market?"
"If senior wants to buy pills, you should first choose the Hundred Treasures Building."
Meng Qing pondered for a moment and explained, "The Hundred Treasures Building is a giant of the Liuyun Dynasty. Almost every city has a branch. Not only do they sell pills, but they also sell spirit materials and weapons."
"The Hundred Treasures Building." Chu Xingyun nodded, secretly remembering this name in his heart.
"Speaking of which, it's quite a coincidence. I'm familiar with the Lord of the Hundred Treasures Building. Senior, take this jade pendant and go there. Say that you were introduced by me. You can enjoy a ten percent discount." Meng Qing took out a jade pendant from his bosom and handed it to Chu Xing Yun.
The material of this jade pendant was not outstanding. It was just ordinary white jade. There were dragons, phoenixes, and auspicious beasts carved on it. There were also many patterns inlaid in the center. It looked quite magnificent.
"Thank you, Supervisor Meng." Chu Xingyun remained calm and collected as he accepted the jade pendant. What he lacked the most right now was money. A 10% discount was not much, but it could still save him some money. It would be a waste not to take it.
"Within the four seas, we are all brothers. Senior's words are too serious. In the future, if senior still wants to auction martial arts, I hope you can choose the West Wind Auction House." Meng Qing chuckled. He had been in the business world for many years, and was well aware of the principles of people.
Just as Chu Xingyun and Meng Qing were talking, the auction ended and the results were out.
Under the competition of all the great clans, the price of 《Blue Waves Nine Layered Waves》 was raised to 400,000 taels of silver, which was 100,000 taels of silver higher than Meng Qing's estimate of 300,000 taels of silver. This made Chu Xingyun very surprised.
However, what made Chu Xingyun even more surprised was that the person who bought the 《Blue Waves Nine Layered Waves》 was Shui Chongxian.
"Enemies are bound to meet. This saying is true." Chu Xing Yun laughed strangely in his heart when he learned of this result.
Not long after, under Meng Qing's lead, Shui Chongxian walked into the VIP room. Shui Qianyue also followed. Standing behind Shui Chongxian, she seemed a little restrained.
"Master Shui, this senior is the owner of 《Blue Waves Nine Layered Waves》." Meng Qing introduced with a smile on his face.
Shui Chongxian stared at Chu Xingyun, clasped his hands together and said, "I am the master of the Shui family, Shui Chongxian. May I know senior's name?"
It should be known that the martial arts of the Shui family was also at the middle level of the Spiritual level.
But compared to the 《Blue Waves Nine Layered Waves》, it was much cruder and not worth mentioning at all.
Therefore, Shui Chongxian judged that the person who put the 《Blue Waves Nine Layered Waves》 up for auction must be an expert who had lived in seclusion for many years. Therefore, he did not dare to put on airs as the master of the Shui family and was very respectful.
When he saw Shui Chongxian and Shui Qianyue, Chu Xingyun lowered his voice to prevent them from recognizing him. "I'm just a rogue cultivator, so my name isn't worth mentioning. You can have this 《Blue Waves Nine Layered Waves》."
As he spoke, Chu Xingyun took out the 《Blue Waves Nine Layered Waves》 mental cultivation method and moves and tossed them to Shui Chongxian.
Shui Chongxian hurriedly stretched his hand out to receive them. He used the mental cultivation method and moves to read them carefully.
The more he read, the more excited he became.
The 《Blue Waves Nine Layered Waves》 had a total of nine palm techniques. Every palm technique had a powerful aura. When the palms overlapped, the power would increase by several folds. It was extremely shocking.
"It's definitely not a loss to buy such a top-notch martial art for a mere four hundred thousand taels of silver!" Shui Chongxian was overjoyed. He immediately and carefully kept the paper in his arms, afraid that it would be snatched away.
"Elder, according to the rules of the West Wind Auction House, the auction items need to be paid a fee of five percent. But I intend to form a good relationship with elder, so I don't need this fee. I hope elder will come to the West Wind Auction House more often in the future."
Meng Qing's face was filled with a flattering smile, as he handed over forty spirit stones to Chu Xingyun.
Ordinary transactions mostly used silver or gold. Once the amount was large, it would be exchanged for spirit stones.
A spirit stone was equivalent to ten thousand taels of silver or a hundred taels of gold. Not only was it convenient to carry around, it could also be used for martial artists' cultivation. It had gradually replaced silver taels as a hard currency.
"Manager Meng is too kind. If I want to auction martial arts in the future, I will definitely come to the West Wind Auction House." Chu Xingyun smiled. Forty spirit stones, a fee of five percent, that was two spirit stones.
Since Meng Qing had already done so much, Chu Xingyun no longer treated him as an outsider. In any case, he would need more spirit stones in the future, so there was no harm in forming a good relationship with him.
Putting away the spirit stones, Chu Xingyun turned and walked out of the auction house.
"Elder, please wait a moment!" At this time, Shui Qianyue's voice suddenly sounded, startling Chu Xingyun. Could it be that Shui Qianyue had recognized his identity?
Shui Qianyue walked in front of Chu Xingyun, bowed, and then said respectfully, "Elder, I am Shui Qianyue. Since the first moment I saw elder, I have been impressed by elder's demeanor. I would like to invite elder to be a guest of my Shui family. What do you think?"
"Impressed by my demeanor?" Chu Xingyun was taken aback. His face hidden under the black robe revealed a trace of disdain.
This Shui Qianyue, not only was she arrogant, she was also shameless.
What demeanor of a powerhouse? What subdued? Those were all lies with a straight face. What she valued was only Chu Xing Yun's martial arts and cultivation methods. She was truly a snobbish person.
"So you are Shui Qianyue." Chu Xingyun deliberately raised his voice so that everyone could hear clearly.
"Elder actually recognizes me, I am very honored." Shui Qianyue's voice was still respectful, but faintly revealed a trace of complacency. She enjoyed the feeling of being watched.
"Shui Qianyue, the young miss of the Shui family. She is arrogant and unreasonable. In order to escape the engagement, not only did she deliberately make things difficult for the young master of the Chu family, she also put on a high and mighty appearance. Such a name, it can be said that it reverberates like thunder, how could I not know?"
"I never thought that my [Nine Layered Waves of Blue Waves] would fall into the hands of such a despicable person. What a pity!"
Chu Xingyun said as he walked, and finally strode out of the West Wind auction house.
