Chapter 1091 1084: Auction Consignment
"Why the change in schedule?"
Qin Yang asked, puzzled.
"Brother Qin, this matter is related to us. The highlight of this auction is the auctioning off the position of Lord of Wind Ridge Town."
The fat man looked at Qin Yang and said.
"Auctioning the position of Lord of Wind Ridge Town?"
Qin Yang was a bit surprised.
"Yes, exactly. When a Lord dies, their position is auctioned off by the Marquis's Mansion, allowing them to earn a substantial income. This is why the Marquis's Mansion is not overly concerned with the death of Lords."
The fat man explained.
"So, in that case, the Marquis's Mansion might actually hope a few more die each year. However, those who can become Lords are usually strong beings in the Immortal Venerable Realm and aren't easily killed."
The fat man said, his mouth full of oil as he chewed on a big chunk of meat.
"A Lordship position, huh?"
Listening to the fat man's words, Qin Yang's eyes flashed with thought.
Wind Ridge Town is the closest town to the space plane leading to Earth. If I become the Lord of Wind Ridge Town, it would greatly facilitate overseeing the space plane to Earth.
Additionally, having a base there would make it easier to gradually bring the people from the Pill Talisman Sect over.
Furthermore, Wind Ridge Town is near the Celestial Cyan Mountain Range, which is filled with demon beasts — an excellent training ground for sect disciples.
After pondering for a while, the light in Qin Yang's eyes grew brighter. If he became the Lord of Wind Ridge Town, it would bring many benefits.
"I've set my sights on the Lordship of Wind Ridge Town."
A hint of determination appeared at the corner of Qin Yang's mouth as he resolved silently.
"Hmm? Brother Qin, are you listening?"
Seeing Qin Yang lost in thought, with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, the fat man, despite his greasy mouth, asked.
"I'm listening, Brother Bai, please continue."
Qin Yang nodded and smiled.
"Brother Qin, this auction is quite grand in scale. Forces from tens of thousands of miles around Celestial Cyan City are likely to attend, including strong sects like the Divine Sword Sect, Piaoling Palace, and Blood Evil Sect. Additionally, several prominent families from Celestial Cyan City, and powerful loose cultivators, as well. The Lordship position is particularly attractive to the strong loose cultivators."
The fat man said.
Hearing this, Qin Yang nodded. This auction would undoubtedly be fiercely contested. Nevertheless, regardless, he was determined to acquire the Lordship of Wind Ridge Town.
This Wind Ridge Town will serve as his Pill Talisman Sect's strategic entry point into the Nine Provinces Sacred Domain.
After the fat man left, Qin Yang stood alone in the courtyard, his eyes flashing with determination.
To secure the Lordship position at auction, a significant amount of spirit stones would be essential.
However, on Qin Yang's person, there were only the ten thousand lower grade spirit stones left over from Bai Fatty's purchase of spirit medicine earlier, plus the fifteen thousand lower grade spirit stones he received from Bai Qingtian for the Venerable-Breaking Pill last night, making a total of twenty-five thousand.
With just these twenty-five thousand lower grade spirit stones, acquiring the Lordship of Wind Ridge Town at auction would be quite challenging.
Additionally, the auction is large-scale, and there may be items of great interest to him, which would require even more spirit stones.
"Spirit stones, oh spirit stones, always lacking in spirit stones."
Qin Yang muttered softly.
In the Vermilion Bird Flame Tower, there is a mountain of top grade spirit stones, and those top grade spirit stones bear flame patterns containing abundant fire energy, making them even more precious than regular top grade spirit stones.
Such spirit stones are extremely valuable, best used for cultivation; Qin Yang naturally wouldn't use top grade spirit stones for participating in the auction here.
In the Great Xia Dynasty, middle grade spirit stones are not commonly seen and are only held by Immortal Venerable Realm experts. Qin Yang had obtained nearly three thousand middle grade spirit stones from the storage bag of the slain Xue Kuang, although he had already used seven hundred for purchasing spirit medicine at the Celestial Permanence Commerce Association, leaving now over two thousand.
"There's no choice but to sell these."
Qin Yang pondered for a moment and then made up his mind.
Previously, he used tens of thousands of spirit stones to buy spirit medicine for refining the Venerable-Breaking Pill; now he could only use the Venerable-Breaking Pill to exchange for spirit stones.
After leaving the Bai Mansion, Qin Yang donned a black cloak in a deserted alley and headed to the Celestial Permanence Commerce Association.
Upon stepping into the Celestial Permanence Commerce Association, one of the pretty-faced, white-clad maidservants' eyes lit up upon seeing Qin Yang.
This maidservant was the one who had served Qin Yang during his last visit to the Celestial Permanence Commerce Association to buy spirit medicine.
"Senior, please follow me; Lady Linglong instructed that you be led directly to the third-floor reception room when you arrive."
The white-clad maidservant quickly approached Qin Yang and said respectfully.
"Okay."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yang was silent for a moment, then nodded, seemingly aware that the abundant purchase of spirit medicine before had led Lady Linglong to give instructions to the staff.
With the guidance of the white-clad maidservant, Qin Yang was led directly into an elegantly furnished, quaint reception room on the third floor.
The reception room was clean and tidy, rather graceful, and after preparing tea, the maidservant excused herself.
After Qin Yang had waited in the chair for a minute, two figures entered the reception room.
One of the figures was wearing a light red dress, slender in build, with an enchanting beauty; it was Linglong, the lady he met when purchasing spirit medicine last time.
The other was an elder in a blue robe.
"Senior, you've been waiting."
Seeing the cloaked figure seated on the chair, Linglong's eyes lit up. She and Master Yan had speculated that the mysterious person would return, and today, she saw him again.
"Lady Linglong, you're too kind."
A somewhat elder voice came from beneath the cloak.
"Senior, this is Master Yan Hua, our Celestial Permanence Commerce Association's Peak Third Grade Alchemist."
Linglong introduced the elder to Qin Yang.
Qin Yang's gaze shifted towards the blue-robed elder.
"I am acquainted with this fellow-senior. Last time, it was my reckless behavior."
Master Yan respectfully cupped his hand towards Qin Yang, with a hint of apology in his tone.
"Hmm."
Under the cloak, Qin Yang gently nodded to accept Master Yan's apology. Previously, in the Spirit Medicine Room, this elder had attempted to peek at his true appearance, but Qin Yang had detected it.
"Senior, are you here to sell or purchase items this time?"
After settling down, Linglong and Master Yan's gazes turned towards the cloaked figure and asked.
"Neither, I am here to commission an auction."
Under the cloak, Qin Yang shook his head slightly before speaking with an older voice.
"What items do you wish to commission for auction, Senior?"
Linglong's beautiful eyes flashed as she asked.
This time, an auction co-hosted by the Celestial Permanence Commerce Association and the Marquis's Mansion is set to occur in two days, making the mysterious figure's auction commission quite logical.
Beneath the cloak, Qin Yang did not speak immediately; instead, he waved his sleeve, and two White Jade Bottles appeared on the table.
"These."
The aged voice spoke lightly.
