Let's like this story

_____________________________

"That's a lot!" Tang Gou was shocked to the point that it was hard to speak eloquently. Shua Xie only smiled slightly seeing the shock of Tang Gou and Tang Gou's subordinates.

"No problem, I still have a lot of spirit stones. After all I don't really need low-tier spirit stones, so it's no big deal for me."

Tang Gou gaped wide seeing a thousand sparkling spirit stones right before him. As the biggest innkeeper in the city, Tang

Gou had never seen that many spirit stones. With that many spirit stones Tang Gou could have set up one more inn that was more luxurious than his current inn.

Not only was Tang Gou shocked, Tang Gou's personal bodyguard was difficult to speak of seeing that many spirit stones. As a swordsman cultivator himself he had never seen so many spirit stone monsters.

'Jeez how much this little girl has spirit stones! Moreover, this stone is a monster spirit stone! Did he rob the warriors!?' tuk Tang Gou in his heart.

"How, does Uncle agree?" Shua Xie broke Tang Gou's daydreams and a few of Tang Gou's bodyguards.

Tang Gou looked towards Shua Xie still with a shocked face, "Of course agree. This transaction is completely unexpected, even though this spirit stone is low level but this stone is a monster spirit stone, not an ordinary spirit stone. Miss may I ask where did Miss get all this?" tang Gou asked seriously.

"If it is not wrongly called Kokuzu forest. I had lived there for three months, every day having to fight with spirit monsters. That's how I got it," Shua Xie replied casually.

Tang Gou and his personal bodyguards looked at each other with expressions difficult to explain. But they were one thought in disbelief at what Shua Xie said seeing Shua Xie was just a weak-looking little girl.

'Is this not I misheard? Don't tell me he killed thousands of spirit monsters alone in the famous Kokuzu forest the city of spirit monsters.' Tang Gou's shock in his heart.

'This lady how could it possibly kill thousands of spirit monsters unless she was a demon or a demon!' said Tang Gou's personal bodyguard in his heart.

Shua Xie stood up, making people around him watch him wait for what else Shua Xie will do.

"Uncle please manage this inn as best you can. I'll go out first, oh yeah don't tell the visitors if this inn has a new owner. I want to keep my identity a secret at this time. Enough Uncle and the people here know about me. I went out first Uncle .. I don't know when I'll stop by here again. I trust you Uncle, please keep my trust."

After ity Shua Xie directly stepped away without waiting for a reply from Tang Gou.

Tang Gou was just speechless watching Shua Xie's departure that was getting further and further away until Tang Gou finally realized something.

"Dasuke dispense secret bodyguards to guard Miss Shu. Don't let Miss Shu get into trouble out there, however Miss Shu has become our Master." Tang Gou's orders in a serious tone. Dasuke's personal bodyguard immediately passed the order of deploying some of his subordinates to guard Shua Xie secretly.

***

After exiting the inn Shua Xie immediately went to the next destination to the biggest auction place in the city, Suguan's Cheng Auction Pavilion. In accordance with his promise on the train that he will visit the auction owned by Suguan. At once Shua Xie will cooperate with him. But before reaching the pavilion, Shua Xie disguised himself first as a man because Suguan knew him as a man instead of a woman.

Along his way to the auction pavilion, Shua Xie saw many warriors wandering around the town square. Shua Xie became curious as to what made so many cultivator warriors appear in the city.

'Could there be a battle race?' shua Xie asked in his heart.

Half a minute Shua Xie walked finally he reached the Cheng pavilion. Shua Xie looked up at how big the Cheng pavilion was, Shua Xie believed the auction pavilion must have been the frequent arrival of cultivators, including nobles and Masters.

Shua Xie went straight into the pavilion. When he entered he was presented with a view of hundreds of people who were shouting at each other to seize items that Shua Xie did not see.

Shua Xie ignored the commotion and immediately approached one of the pavilion guards asking him to send himself to meet their Master. The bodyguard brought Shua Xie to meet Suguan at a special auction room for the higher-ups.

When Shua Xie entered he saw there were some great Masters. Shua Xie guessed it seemed like they were making a serious transaction.

Suguan was almost enraged when the door was opened by his bodyguard, but when he saw Shua Xie he immediately gave a smile.

"Uncle Suguan, do you remember me?" shua Xie asked as he displayed a small smile.

"Master Shu. Please come in, we're auctioning some good stuff. Maybe Mr. Shu is interested in my auction items."

Shua Xie stepped closer to Suguan then saw the great masters looking at him coldly. Some guests claim the arrival of Shua Xie that they are not aware of because this special auction event was agreed a few months ago, and can also only be attended to important officials.

"Sorry gentlemen. This Mr. Shu is also a VIP guest of our pavilion, sorry I forgot to tell you, gentlemen," Suguan said carefully.

"You really don't know yourself! We are the best customer here. You should not invite obscure guests at the auction this time. If he wants to join the auction outside. This auction event of ours can only be attended for the higher-ups," said the middle-aged man named Chu often called Master Chu. Chu himself was a representative of the Moon sect.

"True, I agree with Chu. If he wants to join the auction, just ask for the auction outside. I'm not sure he's got a lot of money to go to our auction." Gumo Shan the representative of the Suna sect agreed with Chu's remark.

"Young mana sect out of nowhere" quipped Fhu the representative female teacher of the Cloud sect.

Suguan smiled stiffly it was hard to say what else, a little wrong he could have offended great masters.

'Don't underestimate this Mr. Shu. He has a lot of monster spirit stones, if you see him maybe you also want to cooperate with him, Suguan said in his heart.

Shua Xie ignored the talk of the three Masters and simply chose to sit quietly in an empty chair. One middle-aged man named Gong Chen the teacher of the Sun sect did not speak anything other than seeing the calmness of Shua Xie. He only smiled in amazement at how calm Shua Xie was before the great masters from him. Though he could have died in the hands of the 3 Masters.

"Young man why don't you come out! Don't you know who we are?" reprimand Chu a little loudly while looking at Shua Xie sharply.

"Why should I go out? Uncle Suguan alone did not ask me to come out," Shua Xie replied coldly expressionlessly making Chu even more furious.

Chu clenched his hands furiously, "You!"

"That's Chu! Just let him come, maybe this young man is looking for something." Gong Chen interrupted Chu's remark, and he was heard defending Shua Xie.

"True Mr. Chu. We'd better go ahead with the auction." Suguan helped Gong Chen. Whereas Fhu only chuckled to see Chu marching.

"Heh .. it turns out that there are still people who are smart enough here," Shua Xie muttered sharply making everyone both shocked and furious.

"Hahaha .. Young people should take care of your words. Don't make Chu and the others angry" said Gong Chen with a small laugh but seemed to laugh menacingly.

Shua Xie only sighed in annoyance with a nonchalant look at Gong Chen's words. Shua Xie's expression made Suguan even more panicked fearing that Gong Chen would also be angry like the others.

"All right, gentlemen, let's continue the auction" Suguan said.

The first item to be auctioned was a medium quality heirloom sword. The sword was named the Red Moon sword, a famous holy sword made 200 years ago. The sword with the scabbard was red while the hilt was deep black with ancient rhyme carvings.

"The Red Moon sword starts at a thousand coins" Suguan said.

"Two thousand coins!" sahut Chu with a loud tone while laughing cynically. His laughter was shown to Shua Xie as if he was waiting for Shua Xie to reply.

'Ck! The old man wants to get my attention, right? You're not worthy, I'm not interested in such an ugly sword. I have two very high quality swords made by the ancestors of the Sky clan. Can't compare to that sword!' crush Shua Xie in her heart while turning her face indifferent.

"Three thousand coins!" sahut Fhu with his arrogant look. Fhu smiled sinisterly as Chu looked at him in annoyance, "Who has the highest price he can afford, right?" fhu said to Chu.

"Four thousand coins!" reply Gong Chen.

"Five thousand coins!" exclaim Gumo Shan.

Chu clenched his hands furiously, "Seven thousand coins!" annoyed. The others no longer put a high price on making Chu laugh in satisfaction. Finally the Red Moon sword was bought by Chu.

Shua Xie only sighed softly, 'Don't tell Old Man Chu happy to get that ugly sword?'

Suguan summoned the servant woman again, this time it came that the Fire Dragon armor suit was made from the legendary Dragon scales. The Fire Dragon armor could withstand the attacks of the General and King stage warriors by 5 times.

Again the first to put a price is Chu, after Suguan has opened the bid time. But Fhu, Gong Chen, and Gumo Shan were unwilling to lose. They continued to clash high prices making Shua Xie laugh a little at seeing them snatch the heirloom. After they continued to bid this time Chu again obtained it, then showed it to Shua Xie with offensive words. But Shua Xie was not provoked in the slightest.

The auction event continued to take place, one after another among the 4 great masters kept putting a high price every time the heirlooms kept coming out. Until finally at the last event, this time Suguan took out a piece of ancient artifacts.

"This artifact is an ancient artifact belonging to a mysterious clan that has long since gone extinct. It is said that if we manage to perfect each piece of artifact, we will get a big reward," explained Suguan seriously.

"Only a piece of which may be useful. Anyway we don't know where the other pieces are!" said Chu condescendingly.

"Five thousand coins for that artifact!" suhut Shua Xie is hard, even though Suguan has not opened a price quote time.

Chu smiled slightly seeing Shua Xie was very interested in the artifact, "Six thousand coins!" sahut Chu with a loud tone.

Shua Xie glanced sharply at Chu making Chu even more interested in playing Shua Xie.

"At first you defamed the artifact, but now you put a price. What a shameless thing! Seven thousand coins!" reply Shua Xie Sharp.

"Eight thousand coins! Young man it's up to me to buy it or not!" sahut Chu while displaying a defiant smile. Fhu and Gong Chen smiled feeling that they would get an interesting spectacle this time.

"Nine thousand coins! Hahaha ... Your mouth turns out to be so hypocritical that it forgets to hold in shame!" reply Shua Xie Sharp.

"Ten thousand coins! Young man, you don't know about me. Better watch what you say!" chu's reply was increasingly provoking.

Shua Xie sighed softly while looking at Chu intently, Shua Xie was silent for a moment. Seeing Shua Xie not put a price anymore Chu laughed in satisfaction.

"Hahaha .. Why don't you have any money?" satirical Chu.

Shua Xie smiled cynically, "Hais is afraid of you who have no money anymore! Fifteen thousand coins!" tawar Shua Xie loudly while looking at Suguan.

Everyone was shocked to see Shua Xie's offer so high just for a piece of ancient artifact that it looked so useless. Chu was difficult to say anymore, this time he could not put a high price anymore because the money was almost used up to buy auction items before. After all it was useless as well if he had the piece of the artifact.

Since no one dared to bid the price anymore, the artifact fell into the hands of Shua Xie. Shua Xie heaved a sigh of relief as well as smiled happily, he never expected to find the pieces of artifacts belonging to the Sky clan in the Cheng pavilion.

"Alright the last item has already fallen on Young Master Shu. Since the goods are up let's close the auction this time. I'm as-"

"Wait for Uncle Suguan! I have one item, please Uncle auction in front of these four great Masters." Shua Xie interrupted Suguan's words.

"Young Master Shu turns out to want to auction something huh. Alright please Lord Shu take out the items that Master will auction."

Chu only muttered for sure the item that Shua Xie was going to auction was not a precious item. Chu felt that Shua Xie was seeking their attention.

Gong Chen and the others smiled slightly feeling curious as to what item Shua Xie would auction with them. Gong Chen was slightly interested in Shua Xie, feeling that Shua Xie had a different appeal.

Shua Xie touched the table then came out 1 monster spirit stone belonging to the giant gorilla king he had once killed from his s.p.a.ce ring.

"The price is opened from five thousand coins please put the price," said Shua Xie himself determine the initial selling price.

"That monster spirit stone belongs to the giant Gorilla King isn't it!?" exclaim to 4 Masters along with a look that is difficult to explain.
