The Destiny of the Sinner
8. The Tianbao II Pavilion Auction
Inside the hall of Tianbao Pavilion had now been bustling with the voices of the participants who were about to attend the auction. The other VIP rooms are all filled.
A beautiful and sexy girl went on stage to start the auction.
"Consider everything, on this occasion, I Xia Ling Mei will lead the auction event. I will explain the rules of the auction. It was forbidden to riot and forbidden to use power to suppress others who wanted to bid for goods. That's all the rules."
"This auction will be used as 3 sessions, the first session there are 15 items with a nominal price starting from 10 gold coins, the second session is 10 items with prices of 500 gold coins and the last session 5 items with prices of 10,000 gold coins and above. And there is little information from our side, if the main item later is a peak Earth level Pill," he said in a teasing tone.
The auction participants started whispering to each other in the audience bench due to the appearance of the peak Earth level Pill. Even the VIP room was no different, some Patriarchs and sect Leaders discussed with the elders who took part in the auction. There was also a representative from the Tang Empire in the Eastern Continent who was now contacting Emperor Tang Yin to deliver the main item at this auction.
Emperor Tang Yin who heard this immediately rushed out of the palace with the supreme General heading to Tianbao Pavilion.
"Good for the first item is a 100-year-old water Ginseng, its price is 10 gold coins and with multiples of not less than 1 gold coin."
"Eleven..."
"Thirteen..."
"Seventeen..."
The bidding continued to rise until it touched the 32 gold coins mark. The auctioned items continued to be taken out and nothing caught Qin Tian's attention. Then when the ninth item was taken out, Qin Tian's attention was immediately drawn to the item.
"Ninth item, this is the Pendant that was found in the ruins of an ancient temple by wandering cultivators. Because the hardness of this Pendant exceeds Black level artifacts. The pendant is also estimated to be over 5,000 years old. Alright, this pendant opened at the price of 250 gold coins with multiples of no less than 10 gold coins."
Soon the Pendant was offered by the participants of the auction, because the beauty and the level of violence of the Pendant made its own attraction for those who have a partner, or those who want to buy for themselves.
Currently the price of the Pendant had reached 950 gold coins.
"950 first..."
"950 second..."
950 to"
His speech was cut off by Qin Tian.
"1,500 gold coins," Qin Tian casually said.
While the young man in the VIP room who bid 950 gold coins earlier frowned hearing someone bid higher than him.
"1,600 gold coins" he replied.
"3,000 gold coins," Qin Tian instantly raised the price nearly twice that of the young man's offering.
"Is there any more?" xia Ling Mei said after a moment of silence. And he instantly calculated to close the bidding of that Pendant.
The pendant sold for 3000 gold coins, and Qin Tian won it. The auction continued but nothing attracted the attention of Qin Tian, until the last item of the second session was presented.
"The last item of the second session is a very hard and strong object, very suitable to be used as material to make swords or other artifacts," then he took out a 1 by 1 meter random-shaped stone in pitch black.
"This thing was found not far from the Pendant auctioned by the wandering cultivator."
"Alright, this thing opened at a price of 7,500 gold coins with multiples of no less than 100 gold coins."
Soon many people were bidding on this. Most of the ones who bid on things were weapon forgers.
But, the bidding of all of them defeated Qin Tian, he bid the stone at the price of 15,000 gold coins, and no one else raised his price.
The second session auction is over. Pause 1 stick of incense to start the third session again.

Meanwhile, Emperor Tang Yin and the supreme General had arrived at the Silver Dew City. The two of them immediately rushed towards Tianbao Pavilion to attend the auction event.
"It seems we are not too late, Your Majesty," the general said.
"Find out who auctioned the Pill. If you can invite him to come to the Palace," he said again to the General.
"Your Majesty."
Then they entered the Tianbao Pavilion smoothly, as their status as well as the Pavilion side had been reminded by Minister Cao that His Majesty the Emperor would come.
"Please Your Majesty, this is Minister Cao's room" Liu Dan said respectfully.
"Thank you manager Liu," then Emperor Tang Yin entered the room.
"Manager Liu, who is the person who auctioned the Earth-level Pill?" the general asked when Liu Dan was about to leave.
"I-this is actually-"
"There's no need to be nervous manager Liu, Your Majesty just wants to invite that person over, because it's possible that the person who made the Pill could help Your Majesty," the General interrupted Liu Dan's speech, saying, because he knew this Pavilion was very guarding the identity of the owner of the item that was going to be at the auction.
"Well, I'll talk to the man first about this General" Liu Dan said.
"Then I'll pass this on to His Majesty."
"I'll excuse you, General."
"Please, sorry to interrupt your manager Liu's time."
Liu Dan left the place and headed towards Qin Tian's room to discuss Emperor Tang Yin's request to him.
"Excuse me young master, there is something I want to talk to you about" Liu Dan said in front of the door of Qin Tian's room.
"Come on Uncle Liu, there's no need to be such a condolence."
Liu Dan entered the room and said what Kisar Tang Yin wanted to him. Qin Tian who heard that only nodded his head in understanding.
"Well uncle Liu, after this is over I will meet the Emperor" Qin Tian said.
"Thank you young master."
"Maybe I know what the Emperor meant to meet you" Liu Dan said.
"Oh, what is it?" qin Tian asked.
"Actually the third emperor's daughter is currently experiencing a meridian freeze due to the failure of the process when about to break through, this is already known almost throughout the big city."
"I think maybe the Emperor intends to ask you for help to make a Pill that has the effect of curing the freezing of his princess meridians."
"Even 1 year ago, the Emperor once invited Alchemists and Physicians from the Middle Continent, it was just that all of them that the Emperor had ever invited had no one managed to cure his daughter. Also, the Emperor once said that he would let the person who had successfully healed his daughter choose one of the Tang Empire's possessions."
Qin Tian who heard the end of Liu Dan's story was slightly interested. There might be something that catches his attention there. With an expanding smile he told Liu Dan that he would accept the request of the Emperor. But if the Emperor himself had told him.
Since Qin Tian knew, there would definitely be pros & cons that the Emperor's subordinates made if he managed to cure the princess, but if the Emperor himself were to ask her for help it wouldn't happen.
•••
The third session auction continued, but there were no interesting things according to Qin Tian. Until the peak of the auction event featuring the Earth-high Pill ended up being won by Emperor Tang Yin for 1,500,000 gold coins.
The price was quite large for the size of the Empire in the Eastern Continent.
