Chapter 338: 336. Sky-High Price Vortex Map (3/4)
However, at this moment, Wen Ping spoke up, "Everyone, there is only one Vortex Map, likewise, our Immortal Sect will only come to Cloud Sea City once. If you wish to buy again, it will depend on fate in the future."
The meaning is clear: if you don’t buy today, there will be no opportunity.
If someone else said such a thing, they wouldn’t believe it, but coming from the Immortal Sect, they have to believe it. Because the Immortal Sect is too mysterious, mysterious enough that as soon as they heard about it, they went to investigate, but found nothing.
In the Hundred Sects Alliance’s roster, there is simply no existence of the Immortal Sect.
Keep in mind, in the Heaven and Earth Lake, any power with the courage not to join the Hundred Sects Alliance is very strong; it doesn’t need to band together with others. As a declining sect, possessing a Two-star Vortex Divine General as Sect Leader, it certainly makes powerful factions covet it, thus necessitating seeking the Hundred Sects Alliance’s protection.
Yet, there is simply no way to find any information about the Immortal Sect.
This suggests that the Immortal Sect comes from beyond the Three Lakes.
With these words, Feng Bo placed a bid; he had just sold a Two-star Vortex Map and had money, "1010 White Crystals."
Although he only added 10 White Crystals, it immediately ignited the entire auction house.
Gradually, people began to raise prices.
In just a dozen breaths, it had already reached the high price of 1300 White Crystals. This already broke the highest record in Cloud Sea City for decades. The last time, it was a Profound Level Upper Grade Cultivation Technique, which reached such a high record.
However, a Two-star Vortex Map is different.
"Big brother, aren’t we bidding?" Lu Hai impatiently asked from the side, "It’s already increasing rapidly."
"No worries, it’ll stop soon. 1300 White Crystals is already the entire bottom line a Three-star Giant Level Influence can offer. Going higher, even if they buy this Wind Attribute Vortex Map, it will bring havoc to their sect. Without the liquidity of White Crystals, a sect is swiftly consumed." Cloud Sea Cang Lan smiled slightly. Predictably, the bidding momentum started to slow down.
From initially having someone immediately raise the price after it was announced, it turned into only raising when the hammer was about to fall.
Those sitting on the first floor could only watch with sighs.
They thought they could intervene, but unexpectedly, it was too difficult to get involved.
Ji Liangping, witnessing this scene, chuckled awkwardly and lay down, calling the maid over to massage his legs, "Seems like it’s most likely the City Lord’s Mansion’s item... However, who is the person in Box Number Seven?"
Thinking of this, Ji Liangping immediately glanced sideways.
Number Seven was directly opposite him.
Unfortunately, without the occupants nearing the window, he couldn’t see inside.
The people within, like Cloud Sea Cang Lan, hadn’t bid.
Just at this moment, Cloud Sea Cang Lan spoke out, "1500 White Crystals!"
The entire auction room instantly fell silent.
"Forget it."
"Alas."
By this point, Feng Bo also stopped bidding. Although he had more than 1500 White Crystals in wealth, having just sold a Two-star Vortex Map for over 700 White Crystals. However, if he raised it further, Cloud Sea Cang Lan would certainly keep following.
He could only raise 100 more White Crystals before being unable to bid further, while Cloud Sea Cang Lan could still continue—so it’s best not to do anything futile, not getting the Vortex Map and instead offending Cloud Sea Cang Lan.
"Sold!"
Bang!
A definitive hammer.
The entire auction house rose to their feet, applauding, celebrating Cloud Sea Cang Lan’s acquisition, while also feeling a sense of regret for themselves.
"Slipped away." Wen Ping smiled broadly, preparing to leave from beside the auction platform.
It was a hugely profitable venture.
Nearly 2700 White Crystals counted in, moving toward prosperity.
For the others, today could be written into Cloud Sea City’s history, in whatever aspect.
However, they still held hope for the Vortex Map.
"Hold on, friend, we also want to buy a Vortex Map. Not sure when you’ll visit Cloud Sea City again?" Feng Bo spoke first, "If you’re inconvenienced, just mention a place and I’ll come to purchase."
"Indeed!"
"Friend, we truly wish to purchase too."
"We can return and gather funds, if Cloud Sea City Lord can buy it for 1500 White Crystals, we also can buy for 1500 White Crystals."
Once again, someone shouted out the high price of 1500 White Crystals.
This is already double the Two-star Vortex Map’s usual price, enough to buy two Two-star Vortex Maps.
Faced with these loud voices, Wen Ping responded indifferently, "Maybe next month, maybe six months later."
In short, it depends on when he feels like coming to Cloud Sea City.
No matter how much you double the price, it’s of no use.
It just won’t be sold.
Having said that, Wen Ping went straight to the backstage, instructed Mu Tian a few things, then left the auction house. Cloud Sea Cang Lan dispatched people to search for him, yet still came up empty-handed, helplessly heading back to the City Lord’s Mansion.
"Lu Hai, you go find him, didn’t he promise to meet with you?"
Lu Hai nodded, "Big brother, rest assured, I’ve already arranged it."
"Mm, stay busy here, I want to return to try the Wind Attribute Vortex Map." Wind, he dared not imagine what kind of anomaly this vein is. However, since he already has an Innate Anomaly Vein, he cannot use it.
This item is actually bought for his son.
This should be the best gift under the heavens, right?
And as soon as the auction ended, the news instantly spread across Cloud Sea City.
A Two-star Vortex Map was auctioned for the sky-high price of 1500 White Crystals, breaking the Level A auction house’s record. At the same time, it reset the maximum limit for Two-star Vortex Map transactions, thereby becoming a deserved legend.
This news, like a deep-water bomb, kept creating a sensation in Cloud Sea City, while the name of Immortal Sect gradually expanded its influence.
By the early morning of the second day, Wen Ping awoke to hear the sound of the task’s completion in his ear.
At this time, Mu Tian also came to him.
Holding the 1500 White Crystals from selling yesterday’s Vortex Map, without charging any fee.
"Brother Wen, can I ask you something? When will you be coming to Cloud Sea City next?" Since the auction ended last night, five or six Divine Profound Upper Realm experts have approached him, requesting this information.
Once it’s clear, in the future, when their families have items to auction, they could come here!
A collaboration with a Three-star Major Influence could elevate Mu Family Auction House to Level A status, and with so much, Mu Family Auction House might become Cloud Sea City’s largest auction house.
Just as Mu Tian was asking this, Lu Hai came to seek Wen Ping, and Mu Tian’s words happened to reach his ears.
He rushed up a few steps, his round body almost breaking the stairs, "Brother Wen... you promised to discuss after the auction. His question is also my question. However, I have one more request; can you help our City Lord’s Mansion customize a batch of accessory Vortex Maps? Name your price, our City Lord’s Mansion can afford it!"
Lu Hai, looking every bit the wealthy tycoon.
Seeing him, Wen Ping had no extra expression.
"No customization. If you want to buy a Vortex Map, then wait for a month." System regulations, he had no choice, "And I can’t guarantee whether I’ll sell accessory Vortex Maps to you next month."
