The Ruler
166. Ice Jade I Auction House.
" Sir, is there more?" ask Hong Dou.
Qing Ruo nodded her head.
" But I doubt whether this fruit can be auctioned or not" he said slowly.
" What does mister Na Ruo mean is a forbidden fruit?"
" Right," Qing Ruo replied nodding her head, while showing the five immortal peaches that had evolved.
" Mister Na Ruo, this fruit is indeed forbidden by the emperor Baoyang Tian, but that does not mean this fruit should not be traded in secret," Hong Dou said with a meaningful smile.
" I got it. Does the lady want to buy it?"
" Of course, sir" he answered quickly.
" Alright," Qing Ruo replied as she handed the fruit over.
" Sir, this peach-eternal fruit I cherish five million immortal crystals. How's it?"
" Miss, I think it's too cheap" Qing Ruo replied.
" Okay, I'll add another two million. How's it?"
" Miss Hong Dou, this is an extremely rare forbidden fruit. Moreover, this fruit has also evolved," Qing Ruo replied objectingly.
" Mister Na Ruo, this fruit is basically the same as the Golden Apple fruit and the others. The reason this fruit was included in the forbidden fruit list, it was because of the rule of Emperor Baoyang Tian who did not want this fruit to circulate freely . In addition, the auction price of this fruit is actually only one million immortal crystals, the same as golden apples, immortal earth grapes and other fruits," said Hong Dou who also objected.
Suddenly the room became quiet. Qing Ruo and Hong Dou, both objected to the terms they proposed. Hong Dou wanted to make the forbidden at a cheap price, whereas Qing Ruo wanted to earn even more profit.
" Miss..... Sir.." said at the same time.
" Please miss first," said Qing Ruo.
" Lord alone," Hong Dou said respectfully.
" I will release the price of the fruit at the price that the lady wants. But on condition."
" If mister Na Ruo's terms don't burden me, then I will try to fulfill them."
" The conditions are simple. I just want to know the resources that will be at the auction," Qing Ruo said calmly.
Hong Dou was silent for a moment, then nodded his head.
" In the peak event of the auction, there were already three high-level resources. Those were the dark flame core, the soul-strengthening Golden grass, and the Ice Dragon soul pearl, the eighth level semi-eternal beast. In addition to the golden apple and Bodhi fruit belonging to the master then, there will be five high-level resources that will be auctioned this time."
Qing Ruo nodded her head..
" Miss, I desperately need that soul-strengthening golden grass. Can I buy it right away?"
Hong Dou shook his head.
" Mister Na Ruo, sorry I can't. If you really want it, then please compete with the other buyers."
" Miss, can I meet the seller?"
Once again Hong Dou shook his head.
" That master is our secret" he said respectfully.
Qing Ruo let out a long sigh.
" Good miss." she said slowly.
" Mister, this is the price of five peaches of immortals," Hong Dou said suddenly handing over a storage sneak containing thirty-five million immortal soul crystals.
" Good miss, thank you." grabbed the storage ring and kept it.
After chatting for a while, Hong Dou then ended their meeting, to immediately start the auction event.
" Miss Hong Dou, I go first," Qing Ruo said, cupping her hands respectfully, then leaving the room.
Two minutes later after Qing Ruo left. Three tier six semi-immortal figures appeared within the room, meeting Hong Dou yag who was still in his place.
" Older, what's up?'
" Miss, I see the incredible strangeness of Na Ruo's figure."
" Please the elder explain."
" Miss, the Bodhi fruit is a long-lost forbidden fruit. Based on ancient records, the last tree was only possessed by the sense of a dark water dragon, which disappeared with all members of their clan. Isn't it very strange if this figure of Na Ruo suddenly has the forbidden fruit. Besides, he also has peaches immortal."
" Miss, we also want you to be careful with this figure of Na Ruo. Because we believe, he is not an easy figure to handle. Having a lot of perennial fruits signifies that she comes from a strong background." With a serious face.
" Alright," Hong Dou replied respectfully, then left the room.
After Hong Dou left, the three elders also left the place.

Somewhere else.
Qing Ruo and Long Chen walked quietly, towards the second floor, following the servant who directed them.
Not long after that they finally arrived inside a special room.
" Please sir," the servant said respectfully.
" Thank you miss," Qing Ruo said as she entered the special room and sat down on the available seats. As for the servant, after confirming Qing Ruo was inside his room, then left the place.
" Long Chen, we will only do the bidding at the end of the auction. If you want something, please make an offer," he said while circulating his gaze on a special outdoor chair that has almost been filled.
" What is the ruler?"
" Right now, I only need a soul-strengthening golden grass, which just so happens to be appearing at the top of the auction event," he explained.
" Lord, if I may know, what resources will be at auction at the top of the event?"
" There is a dark fire core, a soul-strengthening Golden grass, and an Ice Dragon soul pearl," he replied without mentioning the golden apple and the bodhi fruit.
" Ruler," he said doubtfully.
" Speak."
" It looks like I need that ice Dragon soul Pearl" he said softly.
" Well, please make an offer on the two items. Do it until you can."
" Good Ruler."
Not long after, the show and it started.
In the middle of the stage were present some girls bringing resources to be auctioned.
" Brothers, I Hong Tianmi will guide you in this auction. The auction event will be divided into three sessions. Our first session will be auctioning twenty items of resources and weapons. The second session will have ten sacks of power, and the third session with five high-level resources. Okay, our show's starting."
Inside his room Qing Ruo and Long Chen continued to listen to the auction event quietly.
Starting from the first auction opened, until the second session featuring mid-level resources, Qing Ruo and Long Chen were still silent in place, observe the situation that continues to heat up with boisterous visitors who make offers to each other.
From afar.
In his room. Hong Dou and the five elders who were fifth level semi-eternal warriors, were calmly observing the course of the auction event.
" Miss, look at room number nine. From the beginning until the second session, it still has not made an offer."
Hong Dou nodded his head.
" That means they are only interested in high-level resources" he said calmly.
" Did she know the figure in the room?"
Hong Dou nodded his head slowly.
" The senior elder is asking us to be careful with that figure" he said in a serious manner.
" Good Miss."
By evening, the second session auction ended, and continued with the third session.
" Brothers we will enter the third session. There will be five high-level resources. We remind you again, so that you can keep your calm and comfort together" Hong Tianmi said, asking a girl carrying the first item to go up on stage.
" A tense calm atmosphere" Qing Ruo said as she changed her sitting position.
" They look so tense and curious about the resources to be auctioned off," Long Chen said with a laugh, making Qing Ruo chuckle along.
On the stage.
" Okay, the first item," said Hong Tianmi, asking the servant girl to place the jade box on the table in the center of the stage, then slowly unscrew the box.
