Auction (2)

"I offer 180,000 pres!" a loud shout sounded indicating the start of the bidding war. The one who shouted was a woman who was wearing a very thick make up in her face. Her body figure is good, but her thick make up only makes her look like a clown. Beside her was a fat middle-aged man with exposed belly that looks extremely unsightly as it brings dissatisfaction to the faces of the people around him.

"I offer 210,000 pres" another shout sounded in the auction.

"I offer 240,000 pres" shouted by another.

The intense bidding war for the Phoenix Cry suddenly started. Those who bids were mainly woman or men's who was forced to bid by their woman. Li Ming and the two watch as the shout of bidding continuously sounded in the hall. Although Li Ming could see that the Phoenix Cry is a very beautiful and unique item, he didn't understand the reason that this people are fighting over it. The items that he wanted was those things that he can use. Things like this Phoenix Cry a hair ornament is of no use for him.

How could Li Ming understand those woman and man who were bidding for this. For them this item is very important, and the story behind it is very tragic. Just owning this item that were the sign of love of the Phoenix Emperor for the woman he loved was a very important treasure. Also it is beautiful, majority of woman in this world loved beautiful things, especially something like this which were very rare and one of a kind.

"I offer 500,000 pres!" an arrogant and loud voice sounded in the hall. Everyone was shocked at how high the sudden increase in bid was.

"This young man here bid 500,000 pres. Is there anyone who wanted to bid again. I must remind all of you that this is a very unique and important item. You can't find this anywhere in this world again as it is the only one of its kind" Yan Fenfang was very thrilled when she heard the price of the bid. The one who bid was a young man with a blonde hair, it was Long Wang. When she saw the beauty beside him, she instantly knew that this young man who was a student in the academy were clearly buying this for her.

The reason Long Wang offer this high of a bid was because to show off in front of Shui Mei. He wanted her to realize that he was a very capable young man and has a very bright future ahead of him. At the same time, he is also showing to others that this young lady beside him was his. So he took a single glance in where Li Ming and the rest where sitting before turning his head in arrogance.

Although Shui Mei knew why Long Wang was doing this. She didn't do anything about it as she just let him show off. Long Wang is nothing to her, in her eyes he was only a little bit better than anybody and was quite talented and nothing more.

After Long Wang's sky high bid, no one dared to bid again as they knew that it was not worth it to fight for it. Those who bid for the Phoenix Cry all shook their heads and were quite feeling down, especially those ladies who were eyeing this precious item. They knew that there must be something else in the auction and maybe they can win an item.

"500,000 pres, once" Yan Fenfang started the countdown.

"500,000 pres, twice"

"500,000 pres, thrice. Item sold!" feeling delighted inside, Yan Fenfang announced happily. Because the first item is sold in quite a low price which she understands. She started to hope that the remaining items would be sold in a high price.

----------------------------------

With how Yan Fenfang proceeded with the auction, the auctioned continued in full swing. Items after items were being sold in a high price which makes her very satisfied. Because of that, she wore a very beautiful and enchanting smile as the auction continues which makes every men enchanted to her beauty.

"Everyone after several hours of auction, today's auction is nearing its end. We only had one item remaining and it is the one mostly of you were waiting for. The final item is a cultivation manual from before the ancient times that describes the way of becoming an immortal" as soon as Yan Fenfang announced it, everyone's eyes instantly turned fierce, especially when they heard the word immortal.

The young woman handed Yan Fenfang a worn out box that looks really old. The side of the box were filled with different characters that were hard to recognized. When Yan Fenfang opened the box, she took out a book which were covered in golden inlay. There was a very ancient feeling surrounding the book that makes everyone think that it was a genuine item. Even the headmaster's breathing becomes slightly unstable as he look at the book like a hungry beast.

For modern day cultivators or martial artists like majority of them inside the hall. Their primary goal was not to become strong and rule the world. What they really wanted is to become an immortal and gain an eternal life. For them the strength that they get in their road in cultivation was just a bonus effect before becoming an immortal.

"This manual if discovered by us in an place which I will not mention where. I will just say that my Jade Flower Pavilion only happened to cross that place by accident which led us in discovering this manual. For checking the manual, we only look at several pages before stopping. We do this in order to not let any potential buyers of the manual felt dissatisfied that someone look at the whole manual. Because of the extreme rarity of this manual, our Jade Flower Pavilion couldn't come up with a proper starting price. So we decided to start the price at 0 pres, and every bid must be at least 50,000 pres. Let the auction start!" after announcing the start of the bidding. Yan Fenfang notices that no one was starting to bid. The reason for that was not because they didn't want to bid, it is just that even though they knew that 50,000 pres were the least they could bid. They all wanted someone to start the bidding and watch on how the phase continues.

After several more minutes, there is still no one starting to bid. Chen Yu who was getting uncomfortable because of the awkward silence raise his number and shouted, "I bid 50,000 pres. If no one wanted the manual, even though I have a low talent I would be quite happy having it"

With Chen Yu's sudden action which no one in the hall expected even his two friends were quite shocked. Noticing the expression of the two beside him, Chen Yu said, "I just want to make the auction begin already. Look at them, the moment they heard someone bid their expressions immediately turned. They were all scheming with each other"

"I offer 300,000 pres" just like what Chen Yu expected. After his bid, someone immediately bid against him. Now that the auction for the final item that everyone was waiting for started, Chen Yu can now secretly take pictures of Yan Fenfang who was currently busy in the platform that didn't notice him. 'He he he, with this I can freely take her picture. She's so beautiful, it would be a very good material'

Yan Fenfang who was on the platform busy in the auction was unaware of what Chen Yu was planning. She will only know everything when a photo of her is being sold in the 'Emezon'.
