Chapter 174 – Making allies
This top grade spiritual level sword of Feng Yao definitely had some connection with Xinghai Lun.
Its quality wasn’t like the other weapons that were available in the market; it resembled the quality of Long Yu’s Qian dragon spear.
The nine hidden dragon mark had a major role in the transformation of devil wings into lunar wings and dragon spear into Qian dragon spear.
Any ordinary martial expert would certainly not be able to get a top grade spiritual level battle weapon.
Feng Yao’s sword, if auctioned, would attract a great number of people!
“Sir, I’m not sure of how much we can pay you for this sword, but I’m sure that it’s worth over 5000 crystal coins.”
The young girl’s complexion changed and she said: “Sir, let me consult about it with the proprietor.”
“Alright, go ahead.”
Long Yu nodded.
After the girl gave him an estimate for the articles Long Yu wanted to sell, he developed some trust for this auction house of the Imperial Lu family. Long Yu wanted to see this proprietor if he was someone from the Imperial Lu family.
Soon afterwards the girl left, an old man clad in green robe came inside the cabin.
From the appearance, this old man looked very authoritative. He surely must be the proprietor of the auction house.
“Lu auction house is the best auction house you’ll ever find.”
The old man looked carefully at Long Yu and smiled: “So this young man belongs to the Zhentian sect!”
“My respects to you, sir! Yes, I belong to Zhentian sect.”
Long Yu had no good reason to conceal his ident.i.ty. Moreover, the old man was a very keen observer and had already figured out which sect Long Yu belonged to.
Although this man was old, his cultivation level was very high. He was a Zhenling sixth layer powerhouse!
From his cultivation level, Long Yu deduced that this old man must be holding a very high status in the Imperial Lu family.
“Long Yu, Long Yu…”
The old man muttered his name and said: “Today, we discuss business and only business here, nothing else. This sword that you have brought here is extremely rare and if I’m not wrong, it even contains the strength of some heavenly tablet.”
Heavenly tablet!
Long Yu wrinkled his brows and looked at the sword that he had seized from Feng Yao.
He had never carefully observed this sword, but now when he did, he couldn’t find anything unusual about it.
But the old man was saying that this sword contained the strength of some heavenly tablet.
“Young Long Yu, let me have a look at it.”
The old man said to Long Yu.
“Yes, sir.”
Long Yu gave the sword to the old man.
The man held the sword by its hilt and whispered as he observed: “Xinghai, the seven calamity stars… The strength of Xinghai tablet… Although it’s weak, I can sense it… This sword is such a rare thing…”
The strength of Xinghai tablet?
Long Yu narrowed his eyes as he figured out what all this meant. Xinghai Lun of the seven calamity stars had comprehended the Xinghai tablet principle and had given this sword, which contained weak strength of the Xinghai tablet, to Feng Yao.
“Three days later, before the seven sects’ compet.i.tion starts, the Lu auction house will organise a grand auction.”
The old man grabbed the sword by the hilt and said: “Young Long Yu, I can pay you eight thousand crystal coins for this sword right now. At the auction, I will set the base price for this sword as eight thousand crystal coins. There will be several bidders who’ll pay us a grand sum for this sword. How about we divide the auction money equally among us?”
“I want 90%.”
Long Yu said.
50%?
This old man surely thought Long Yu to be a fool. If the sword fetched ten thousand crystal coins or even more, why would Long Yu be willing to lose such a huge sum?
“Are you out of your senses? 90%? No, I can’t accept that.”
The old man shook his head and said: “I’m offering a base price of eight thousand crystal coins to you. I’m ready to give you fifty percent of what I earn above these eight thousand coins. What else do you want? If you think I’m being unfair, go to another auction house and see for yourself. I can bet they will never pay you as much as I’m paying.”
“According to the rules of auction houses, the owner is eligible to collect 90 percent of the amount collected in the auction and can give 10 percent to the auction house”
Long Yu smiled and said: “Sir, I’m well aware of the rules auction houses work by. I don’t want any base price. You put this sword for auction. I want the 90 percent of the amount. You can keep the 10 percent.”
Long Yu had read this rule written on a wall when he had entered the second floor of the auction house.
The money obtained from the auction was to be divided among the owner and the auction house in ninety-ten.
For Long Yu, this was the fairest rule possible which took care of the interests of both the owner and the auction house.
“Since you don’t want a base price and want to go by the rules, the sword will be auctioned and the auction money would be divided into shares of ninety percent and ten percent.”
The old man said and smiled. He had understood that in spite of being young, Long Yu was not a fool.
The seven sects compet.i.tion was about to begin and hence the best martial artists of all the sects had gathered in the Imperial city. This sword was surely going to attract a great number of people. The more the people present for the auction, the higher the bid would be.
It wouldn’t be unusual if this sword fetched twenty or even thirty thousand crystal coins!
“Long Yu, do you want to sell something else?”
The old man asked Long Yu after giving the sword to a girl to take inside.
“If you can’t buy copper needles of Qiansi sect and top grade spiritual level whip of Luo clan, then I have nothing else to sell.”
The reason why Long Yu had mentioned these weapons again was the mark that the whip had left on Luo Zixing’s face.
The old man was the proprietor of a well-established auction house. Maybe he had the guts to buy these weapons from him and sell them.
“A top grade spiritual level whip?”
The old man narrowed his eyes: “Long Yu, if I’m not wrong, this whip belongs to Luo Zixing.”
“You have a very keen eye, I must say.”
Long Yu was surprised.
“All the people of the Imperial Luo clan practice whip law and have whips as their battle weapons.”
The old man said with a smile: “However, no one in the entire Luo clan possesses a top grade spiritual level whip except Luo Zixing and the Luo clan ancestor. I don’t think you would have fought with Luo ancestor, so it is obvious that this whip belongs to none other than Luo Zixing.”
“So, are you going to buy this whip?”
Long Yu asked the proprietor.
“Yes, but I will pay you five thousand crystal coins for this, not a single coin more.”
The proprietor said decisively.
Although it was a top grade spiritual level battle weapon, the whip was completely different from Feng Yao’s sword in more than one ways. Long Yu understood this. Moreover, if the battle weapon of the heir of Luo clan was auctioned at Lu clan’s auction house, it would only increase the enmity between the two clans.
Unknown to Long Yu, Lu clan and Luo clan had a history of rivalry.
However, it was clear to Long Yu that no other auction house would dare to buy this whip from him.
“Alright, it’s settled for five thousand crystal coins then.”
Long Yu nodded and handed over the whip to the old man.
A moment later, Long Yu took out the meteorite pendant from his nine hidden storage s.p.a.ce. He had obtained this meteorite pendant after killing the uncouthly man outside the Hun Yin city while helping Yan Huanmo. This pendant contained the power of mysterious jade level meteorite principle.
“How much money can you pay me for this pendant?”
As Long Yu dangled the pendant in front of the old man, he sensed the enormous strength of the meteorite principle that it contained and this made his complexion change.
This pendant was containing the terrifying power of mysterious jade level meteorite principle!
It was well known in the whole Tang kingdom that apart from lone adventurers, only the three most influential families had the access to the principles of mysterious jade level.
The Chu clan, the Long clan and the Mo clan were the only families that could practice core laws of mysterious jade level.
The ordinary martial artists of the Tang kingdom could only learn the lower Huangs.h.i.+ level principles.
The difference between the powers of these two levels was humungous.
If Yan Huanmo and Long Yu had not fought together, it would have been impossible to defeat that uncouthly man. They were fortunate enough that Yan Huanmo had comprehended the ink law of mysterious jade level.
Since Yan Huanmo’s battle weapon and Zhenling ent.i.ty were severely damaged during the fight, it could be imagined how powerful this meteorite principle was!
“Two hundred thousand crystal coins!”
The old man said with great difficulty.
He has spent his whole life buying and selling battle weapons and other articles, but he had never seen anyone bring so many valuable articles at one time, let alone a battle weapon that contained the power of a principle of mysterious jade level.
He would never put such a weapon for auction. It would be the greatest treasure of the entire Lu clan!
If used properly, this weapon could help Lu clan rise and overpower even the three most influential families!
“Two hundred thousand crystal coins are just enough.”
Long Yu didn’t bargained this time and accepted the deal with a smile.
“Really?”
The proprietor was really surprised. He had expected Long Yu to ask for another huge amount for this weapon too.
But two hundred thousand crystal coins was no small amount. The entire auction house couldn’t earn two hundred thousand crystal coins as profit in one whole year!
However, the proprietor knew that he was making the right investment for his Lu clan.
The old man was h.e.l.l bent on obtaining this weapon for his clan and would’ve been ready to pay any price for it, even if that would make the whole Lu clan go bankrupt!
However, he had not expected Long Yu to agree to the deal so easily.
“Yes, two hundred thousand crystal coins for this pendant. But, I have a condition.”
Long Yu said with a smile: “The Lu clan clearly owes me a favour. Don’t you think so, sir?”
His words made his intentions very clear.
Whenever Long Yu was stuck in some trouble, he expected Lu clan to side with him and help him.
Long Yu had been thinking about all this for a long time now. Right after arriving in the Imperial city, Long Yu had offended Luo Zixing. Moreover, he already had quite influential enemies – the prince Chu Chao Sheng, his own Long clan as well as all the other aristocratic families.
He wanted to make Lu clan his ally!
If it had not been so, Long Yu would have never brought the meteorite pendant for selling at Lu auction house. He would’ve rather given it to Baiyun Zhong who would’ve used pendant as the sect’s resource.
Long Yu was surrounded by enemies in the Imperial city.
The only way for him to safeguard himself was to make some allies in the Imperial city!
