The Eternal Soaring Sword

Chapter 19 - The Fire Flag of Li

Old Mo's face brightened with energy as he waved his hand. “Some of you may not know me, but most of you are no stranger to me.” Old Mo always had a friendly smile on his face.

“Ah, Old Mo, stop talking nonsense and get straight to the point. This is not our first time dealing with you.” The one who shouted was the burly, rugged-looking man Zhao Jiuge had seen before.

“Haha, Old Cu, after so many years, you are still very impatient. Okay, I won't waste time, but I'll tell you all the good news. Today, we added a last-minute big item that I'm sure will satisfy anyone. ” Old Mo wasn't angry because the burly man cut him off. “Then we will go directly to the auction. The first item was the Spirit Light Mirror. The starting price is 200 spirit stones.”

Cultivators usually traded in goods or paid in spirit stones. A small auction house like this was useless, so most of the Foundation Realm and cultivators below would come here. 

Old Mo's voice continued, “Spirit Light Mirror, ranked a precious treasure. It can protect from damage to the spirit power of particles. Although it was not powerful, it was very practical. ” Old Mo raised the mirror by the meter. There was a small pattern carved on the edge of the mirror and it released a flash of spiritual energy. 

Looking at the mirror in Old Mo's hands, the audience exploded in debate. "If today's first item is a precious treasure, then what will be its key item?"

“Defense treasure. Although it was not very powerful, it was very practical. ”

"This treasure is good, but it's not something we can get from the cultivators of the Spirit Detection Realm."

At this moment, there were many voices echoing within the auction house as people spoke to each other.

“220 stone.” A crisp voice echoed. It came from the young man who was staring at Mo Linger earlier. The young man shouted the price without blinking and was filled with pride. When Mo Linger saw Zhao Jiuge's curious gaze, he said, “The young man's name is Xiong Yikang, the only son of the Xiong family. His father was at the early stages of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and he indulged his son sillyly. Typical playboy.”

Zhao Jiuge gently nodded and his mouth curved. “Oh, so so. No wonder our Linger didn't even glance at him. ” Her tone is very seductive.

"Hmph, that's not the case." Mo Linger's face turned slightly red as she muttered and pouted.

“250.” A cold voice came from a young man among the crowd. From the gazes of the guards around him, he came from one of the small families in Dong Yang City.

“You look like someone who can only offer 250. Hmph, 300.” Xiong Yikang spoke very sarcastically and looked disgusted. It seemed like he was eating beef with the cold-voiced youth and not even pretending to be respectful.

Upon hearing those sharp words, the cold young man's expression did not change at all. “You're just trash. Every day, you use the power of your family to bully others or play with women. What else can you do? 400 spirit stones. If you can pay one more stone, it's yours. I won't argue with you.” His voice was very light, but he did not even need to say a word to curse someone.

"You…!" Xiong Yikang clenched his teeth. His face was blue and his eyes were filled with anger. Although he was angry from embarrassment, he really did not have any spirit stones anymore. His family could only earn around 1,000 spirit stones a year. While his father loved him, it did not mean he could spend the money as he wished. He could only snort coldly and look over. While he was not speaking, his chest puffed up.

After a few seconds, Old Mo's eyes scanned the crowd. “400 went once, went twice, the last chance for the Spirit Light Mirror. Is there no one? Sold for 400 spirit stones to our Young Master Lin here. ” Seeing that no one wants to add big, Old Mo finishes the deal.

400 Spirit stones was not a small amount for these rogue cultivators. Other than a few individuals, everyone looked at the cold young man with envy. When the cold young man saw the reaction of everyone nearby, he felt extremely proud. Even a faint smile appeared on his face.

When Xiong Yikang saw this, his eyes became even gloomier. He continued to let out a cold snort as his expression became worse and his chest grew even more puffed up.

“Jiuge, ah, the first few treasures are just average. There are three more powerful ones later. If you like one of them, tell Uncle Mo and I'll take it for you. ” Seeing the jealousy in Zhao Jiuge's eyes, Mo Lingjie smiled.

“The second item is a medical herb, Yellow Red Ginseng which is 300 years old. It contains powerful spiritual energy and can cleanse the body. It was something that the cultivators of the Spirit Detection Realm should possess. ” Old Mo smiled as he lifted the item. It was a palm-sized ginseng that looked like a person—even the strands looked like one's beard.

“200 spirit stone. Hehe, none of you are fighting me. This is for my student, I hope you will give me a face. ” At the same time, a surge of spirit power spread throughout the auction house. The expressions of many ordinary people changed, and even those with low cultivation levels were affected.

Old Mo frowned and pursed his lips, but he was helpless. He rolled his eyes towards the old daoist and shouted, "Dear Old Taoist, you used strength to resolve this matter." The Sloppy Old Daoist did not say anything, he only revealed an expression of "what are you going to do about it?" In the end, no one said anything and the Daoist got the Red Yellow Ginseng.

The goods are sold one by one. Most of them were ingredients and herbs, but none of them caught Zhao Jiuge's attention. As the auction entered the second round, something shocking the entire venue appeared! Spirit Gathering Method, cultivation method. Although it was not good, everyone was flocking for it. Although one's cultivation method determined how far they would go, for ordinary people who did not have access to these things, even the most trashy cultivation method was a treasure to them.

When the Spirit Gathering Method appeared, the entire scene went wild and everyone's eyes turned red while shouting a price. Finally, it was sold for a total of 1,200 spirit stones. Any cultivation method would sell for more than just magical treasures. Zhao Jiuge licked his lips and wondered what rank the Sanskrit Heart Sutra was.

Time slowly passed and most of the items were sold. “Haha, these are the last three items for today. The last item was added at the last minute, so I hope you all have prepared your spirit stones. ” Old Mo smiled and then took out an object like a rope. It was really black. “Item is called Black Dragon Whip. It was refined from the black dragon tendon. It was a supporting treasure used to trap enemies.”

Zhao Jiuge looked at the Black Dragon Whip but had no interest in it and became a little anxious. Uncle Mo had said that he could have anything he liked, but these were the last three main items and he still hadn't seen anything he liked. He became anxious but also excited.

In the end, the Black Dragon Whip was bought by the gloomy old man for 600 spirit stones. When Zhao Jiuge first saw the old man, he felt uneasy, and when he heard the old man's voice, he chills.

Then Old Mo took out another item. When Zhao Jiuge saw the thing, his eyes widened and he excitedly stood up. His mouth opened and his lips trembled, but he was too excited to say anything.

It was a flag about one meter tall, and was made of an unknown material with a pattern on it. The pole was small enough to be held with one hand. Zhao Jiuge instantly fell in love with her.

“Fire Flag Li. After injecting spirit power into it, it would spit out Li Fire. It also had a personal space within it, although it was not large, it was almost a spirit treasure. ”

"Uncle Mo, I really like this magical treasure." Zhao Jiuge swallowed his mouth and was filled with anticipation. "Haha, Uncle Mo here is the one who keeps his promise, as long as you like it." Mo Longjie smiled and whispered to Zheng Jie, who was behind him, "Come down and talk to Old Mo," Zheng Jie respectfully said, "Yes, Family Head." When he turned around, his eyes were filled with envy, but it was hidden in an instant.

Zheng Jie walked over to Old Mo and whispered something. Then Old Mo said, "Sorry, everyone, the Fire Flag Li has been bought by someone." The voices from the auction house became soft. A loud bell-like voice rang echoed as the burly man shouted, “Nothing to see anything that interests me, Old Mo. Why can't I offer it? Why was it directly bought by someone ?! ” 

Old Mo was a bit embarrassed. “This is our bad. Our head of the family took this to give to someone. Today's final item is very important and will definitely satisfy everyone. If it doesn't satisfy everyone, then I will feel sorry for the fame of our Mo family, "Old Mo explained with an apologetic smile.

“Hmph, then I'll wait and see what his last item is. Makes it so mysterious ..." Old Cu snorted coldly and sat still a little angry.

Old Mo continued his friendly smile and said in a mysterious tone, “Okay, everyone, let's all see the last item today. I believe that everyone will be satisfied with this item, this is something good, haha. ” 

When Zheng Jie arrived with the Li Fire Flag, Zhao Jiuge could not help but touch him. His eyes were filled with excitement and curiosity as he stared at the embroidery on the flag. Zhao Jiuge decided to return early and used the Blue Spirit Pill to help him break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm. Only then could he use this flag. Otherwise, not being able to use it while having it would make his heart itch.
