System Break the Limit - Qing Shandian' Journey
Ch.38 - The Beginning of the Auction

Without feeling it, one day and two nights passed just like that in the soul world. During that time as well, Qing Shandian enjoyed a relaxing day with his family as well as Qing Wenrou, while occasionally training his techniques. He also handed over the corpses of the Spiritual Beasts he had collected during his hunt in the Lingshan Mountains, to be distributed throughout the inhabitants of the soul world.

Groomed with the Black Cloak of the Moon Star and the white Jade Dragon Mask covering part of his face, Qing Shandian looked quite enthusiastic attending the auction event held by the Orange Moon Trading House. Qing Shandian and Qing Wenrou walked side by side leisurely while having a light conversation.

After a while, Qing Shandian and Qing Wenrou arrived in front of the Orange Moon House of Commerce. They headed straight for the reception desk.

Meanwhile, the receptionist who had been familiar with Qing Shandian's appearance immediately approached. He said with a smile, "Welcome back, Young master. Does the young master want to attend the auction event?"

Nodding lightly, Qing Shandian said, "Emm.. I want to attend the auction. Can you escort me to where the auction is held? I forgot to ask Leader Wen."

"Ah... Okay, young master. It's not far from the building. Let's follow me..." Quite frankly before he walked back to the entrance, leading Qing Shandian and Qjng Wenrou towards where the auction was held.

...…………………………...

After walking for 3 minutes, they arrived in front of a building that was as magnificent as the Orange Moon House of Commerce, but it was only 2 floors. The atmosphere looked so crowded, accompanied by a roar of conversation between them. There were also some Clans who had just arrived in front of that building.

The few Clans who were just present also threw their gazes towards Qing Shandian and Qing Wenrou who were led by the receptionist of the Orange Moon Trading House.

One of the young men in red robes with the symbol of the Shen Clan came over to Qing Shandian and Qing Wenrou. As soon as he stood in front of Qing Shandian and Qing Wenrou, he swept his glance towards Qing Shandian, and immediately turned his gaze towards Qing Wenrou. He looked at Qing Wenrou without blinking, then said with a wide smile "Hehe.. Miss, come with me. You can ask for anything you want during the auction later. Than to follow him..... It seems like you can't afford to buy anything. Better the lady follow me."

Qing Wenrou only took a quick glance, then said, "No need... If it was just an item, An Gege had more than enough wealth to buy it. Besides, I don't know you. Go awayl.. I don't want to be disturbed."

Hearing Qing Wenrou's refusal, the smile on her face instantly disappeared. His expression immediately turned dark. In a deep voice, he said, "Miss.don't make me force you in such a rude manner. I, Shen Diyu, no one dares to reject me once I covet a girl." Quietly before then extending his hand to hold Qing Wenrou's hand.

Qing Shandian who saw that also swiftly caught the young man's hand. He coldly said, "He already said he didn't want to be disturbed. So, go.. Don't push yourself before it's too late..."

Shen Diyu who heard Qing Shandian's words became furious. He directly aimed the other hand to hit Qing Shandian. However, the punch stopped in the air when he heard a shouting sound.

"Stop!!!"

A moment later, an Elder of the Orange Moon Trading House came over and said to Shen Diyu, "Shen Diyu.. Don't be disrespectful to our guest of honor. I will affirm, even with the entire strength of your Clan, it will likely not be able to offend him..."

After finishing his words, he turned his gaze towards Qing Shandian and said, "Young master, forgive us for this matter. I hope the young master doesn't put it to heart."

"No problem... I can forget about it if this thing stops here. If no.... There will be one more Clan that disappears from this city... Now, take us into my room... Uhh.. Really sucks.. Beauty is disaster... Hiya.." Silently grumbling while shaking her head, while at Qing Wenrou's side, she simply giggled softly closing her lips.

"Young sir. Let's follow me."

Shen Diyu who saw the departure of Qing Shandian and Qing Wenrou, his expression became even more unsightly. He turned his head towards the middle-aged man of his fellow Clan, then said, "Shen Guangyi.. Find out who he is... Investigate everything.."

The middle-aged man called Shen Guangyi also replied, "Well, young master." Before it disappeared...

...…………………………...

Walking at a leisurely pace, Qing Shandian and Wenrou were seen enjoying the beautiful and luxurious interior of the Auction House. While the middle-aged man in the lead who noticed immediately asked, "Young master, young Miss, is this your first time attending an auction?"

"Yes... It's the first time.. By the way, thanks in advance. If the elder doesn't stop him... Uhh.. It'll all be troublesome.. I just want to enjoy this city in peace before I leave..." Qing Shandian grumbled.

"Hehe.. It doesn't matter young master.. It's just a coincidence." The Elder's.

"By the way, will there be anything interesting in this auction, Elder?.." Qing Shandian

"Uhhh... Young master, with all that young Master has, the chances of something attracting young Master are very small." The elder said as he shook his head helplessly.

Sighing deeply, Qing Shandian said, "Haahhhh... All right, just take us to the room. If anyone can interest me, it might be good luck.."

...…………………………...

As time went on, the atmosphere inside the Auction Building grew increasingly boisterous. One by one the guests came. Among the invited guests, the Orange Moon City Leader was also present and occupied the VIP room. There was also the Shen Clan, the Li Clan, the Han Clan, the Su Clan, the Blue Sky Sect, the Orange Moon Sect, and the Crescent Moon Sect. Their group also equally occupied the VIP Room with name plaques hanging in front of the room.

Meanwhile, in a quite luxurious room, in the No.1 VIP room, Qing Shandian looked bored waiting for the start of the event. However, he immediately became excited when the gong sound rang out.

"Barking..."

"Ehem.. I think everyone here has been waiting until they feel a little impatient and bored. Therefore, I won't say much nonsense to you guys." Said a beautiful woman in a tight red dress with the hemisphere of the skirt on the left until it rose to the lower thighs, so as to show the irregular curves of her body, which is clearly plastered with bumps in places that should be. He smiled as he stared at the densely packed heads of the masses at the auction venue. Finally, his indistinct gaze swept towards Qing Shandian and Qing Wenrou who were sitting in the No.1 VIP room.

His loud and clear voice echoed throughout the place. As an experienced auctioneer, he clearly knew what people like them wanted to see and did not want to see. Therefore, his unnecessary introductions at the beginning were immediately put aside. Without a doubt, however, the woman's actions had won cheers from all over the place.

"At the Auction Exhibition held by our Orange Moon Trading House this time, I am sure, it will definitely not disappoint anyone." The woman gently clapped her hands. He said in a clear voice, "I am announcing that the ‘Auction City of the Month of Orange’ Exhibition is starting now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a male servant stepped forward carrying a long box, placed it on the table, and then opened the box. It was seen a long sword with a blue hilt, carrying a cold aura.

The woman held a blue long sword in her hand. The body of the sword trembled and faint, cold air rose, forming a faint white mist that was partially visible. He turned his head towards the auction venue and smiled as he said, "The base price is 1 Million Low-grade Spiritual Stones... Offer starts..."

"Huhahh... Earth Class huh..." Said Qing Shandian while sighing lightly. He turned his head towards Qing Wenrou who was sitting next to him. He said, "Wenrou, can System Points be converted into Spiritual Stones?"

Qing Wenrou who was asked immediately turned her head towards Qing Shandian, then replied, "Of course you can.. 1 PS \= 1000 Low Level Spiritual Stones."

"Uhh... Isn't that a lot? Come to think of it, when I bought that high-tier heaven-grade cultivation technique it was 100 Milliar PS... Doesn't that mean it costs around 100 Million High-tier Spiritual Stones?..." Qing Shandian Sahut.

"Emmm... Cultivation and Fighting techniques were expensive due to their usefulness, and the manufacturing process was not easy. One needs to test repeatedly before achieving success." Qing Wenrou explained.

While Qing Shandian and Qing Wenrou chatted lightly, an offer ensued for quite some time before finally being sold to a yellow-robed young man for the price of 2.2 Million Low-tier Spiritual Stones.

After the auction of the first item went on successfully, the auction continued from the 2nd to the fifth item, all of which were Earth Class weapons. Then it went on to some kind of Spiritual Potion under Class 5 and some pills. The female auctioneer smiled satisfied with every offer.

Qing Shandian sat on the padded chair and nonchalantly watched the auction unfold. He closed his eyes and waited for something that could arouse his interest.

During the auction exhibition, not too many unique items appeared. So as not to create an atmosphere of excessive explosion. Moreover, the ones who bid were just a few people sitting in rows of VIP outdoor chairs. Even from several clans, the city leader and the three sects, who had a lot of wealth, had not made a single bid until now.

"Bark."

Another clear ‘gong’ sound is transmitted from the crystal platform. The female auctioneer was filled with smiles as she received a small silver plate from the hand of a female servant. There were two small transparent jade bottles on the silver plate. There were yellow medicinal pills rolling around inside each of the jade bottles.

This medicinal pill attracted quite a lot of gazes when it appeared. After all, medicinal pills were something that was in great demand and on par with both cultivation Techniques as well as Combat Techniques. Moreover, some of those medicinal herbs, which could be directly used to increase one's strength, would cause many people to flock.

"The pill of this drug is called ‘Pil Emperor's Breaker'. I think a lot of people have heard his name. This pill could help people who had been at the peak of the King level for a long time in order to be able to break through their barrier in one go. In addition, this ‘Pil Emperor’ Interceptor is from Class 5 High Level. If one was lucky enough after consuming it, he would probably break through with two stars of strength." The female auctioneer smiled as he pointed to the medicinal pill inside the bottle.

The auctioneer's words had just finished, and a commotion immediately broke out at the auction venue. Many people stared at the jade bottle on the silver plate with boiling hot eyes. This kind of medicinal pill, which could help people break through the barrier between levels, was something rarely seen even in many cities in the Tianxia Continent. The King and Emperor level was only a one-word difference. However, just by stepping into the Emperor level, one could truly be considered to have reached the level when one had a foothold in the journey of training Spiritual Qi. This intersection is basically a huge change. Therefore, there were many people who stopped at the peak of the King Level and were unable to take a step forward for a long time.

However, this problem can be easily solved with ‘Pil Emperor’ Breaker. It was because of this that even the three sects in the VIP room also had an interest when the pills appeared. After all, ‘Emperor’ Penetrating Pill could take care of one Emperor Level. Judging from the long term, this business transaction is quite valuable. Although the strong people at the peak were the rulers in ‘City of the Orange Moon', the Emperor Level was the middle-level pillar of many sects. It is naturally good if one can add a few more.

The auctioneer smiled. After that, he waved his hand. "Basic auction price, 5 Million Low-grade Spiritual Stones!"

"5 Million 100 Thousand!" The voice of the auctioneer had just sounded when someone from the seat behind shouted loudly.

"5 Million 200 Thousand!" Obviously there are quite a number of people who are interested in ‘Pil Penerobuk Kaisar’. Therefore, the previous bid was exceeded in less than a minute.

The price shouts repeatedly sounded one after another inside the auction venue. In just ten minutes, the price of one ‘Pill Breaker Emperor’ has increased from 5 Million to around 6.5 Million. When the price had reached this level, the shout had obviously become less frequent. After all, if one pill equals 6.5 Million, two pills equals 13 Million. This kind of price is a bit too expensive for most people.

"7 Million." Just as the price stopped at 6.5 Million, a somewhat ice-cold, and lazy voice finally sounded from the VIP Room of the Blue Sky Sect.

After the Blue Sky Sect shouted out the price, the noisy auction building immediately became much quieter. The few people who had originally planned to raise the price once again faced each other and reluctantly sat down. Even though they had some money, they undoubtedly knew their limits and the consequences if they were to compete with the Blue Sky Sect.

"7 Million 100 Thousand."

On Qing Shandian's side, Just when he thought the price would stop at 7 Million, a faint, somewhat hoarse voice suddenly sounded.

Many gazes towards the shouting direction. They frowned slightly as their hearts murmured: "Someone from ‘Sekte Crescent’."

‘Sekte Bulat Sabit’ is also a pretty strong sect inside ‘City of the Month of Orange’. Their sect practiced an extremely strange cultivation Technique. Moreover, their attributes were leaning towards rare attributes. Hence, there were only a few people within the sect. However, all elites were strong people. They usually had an unrelenting conflict with the Blue Sky Sect, but they did not actually come out and fight to the death due to the suppression and restraint of the leaders on both sides.

When he heard there was someone who issued a competing bid, the eyes of the Junior Sect Leader of the Blue Sky Sect immediately became darker and colder. He tilted his head and looked at the face of the middle-aged man who was in the VIP room of the Crescent Moon Sect. He said, "7.5 Million."

"7.6 Million." The middle-aged man was still expressionless as he shouted at a steady pace.

The gazes of the people throughout the auction venue focused onto these two people. Several Clans, City Leaders and the Orange Moon Sect did not participate. They only watched the two people with interest as they asked - asking how high the two people would raise the price.

"Junior Sect Leader, 7 Million is already the peak price for ‘Pill Emperor Breakers'. If you keep adding, you will lose a bit. In addition, we still have to leave some money for other items, right?" Said the middle-aged man from the Crescent Moon Sect, after seeing that the Junior Sect Leader of the Blue Sky Sect was still thinking of raising the price again.

"8 Million." Said the Junior Sect Leader of the Blue Sky Sect with a slight frown after pondering for a moment before saying his offer. He had made the decision that he would cancel this offer if the other party raised the price further.

Seeing the expectations of many people, the expressionless middle-aged man did not open his mouth again after the Junior Sect Leader of the Blue Sky Sect shouted this price. He shrank back to his seat and a faint mockery appeared on his face.

The actions of the middle-aged man caused the Junior Sect Leader of the Blue Sky Sect, Du Haoran, to become empty. He immediately understood what was happening and a dense darkness lifted from the corner of his mouth. He softly said, "Very good. If father wants to take action, I will handle this Lu Hairu. I want him to feel the pain when his blood is drained completely."

"Junior Sect Leader Du Haoran offered 8 Million for one pill. Who else wants to raise the price? If there was no one, then these two ‘Pil Emperor’ Breakers would be his!" The female auctioneer was quite satisfied with that price. He immediately smiled as he asked the crowd. Seeing no response, he ended up dropping the auction hammer in his hand down.
