Realms In The Firmament

People watched Bu Xiangfeng humiliating Master Xiao from the beginning, and they all had a weird feeling.

There were stories about Master Xiao in the world, and they were all like legends of a hero.

Every time when Master Xiao went somewhere, he would pave the way with fresh flowers, accompanied by a large retinue of young men and young women who were wearing white clothes.

Master Xiao himself would wear all white clothes that were like snow, walking like a god descending to the mortal world.

Every time before Master Xiao stood on the stage to play songs, he would burn some incense and have a warm bath, as if he was so clean that the dust in the mortal world was not allowed to touch him.

Aside from all these pretentious things, he was truly good at playing the vertical bamboo flute!

Every time when the beautiful sound of his flute sounded, the world would be shocked.

When he played the All Birds Toward Phoenix, all the birds in a thousand miles would fly over to him as if he was truly the phoenix, and all the birds came to show respect to him.

When he played the Unstoppable To Greatness, it enlightened the audience, especially those who were having trouble breaking up to a new level. Some people actually reached an upper level when listening to his songs…

When he played Dream in Dream…

All in all, Master Xiao was mysterious and helpful, high above the masses…

What impressed the public the most was that Master Xiao always gave people a feeling of cleanliness.

However, after the auction, most people had changed their mind.

‘It turns out… Master Xiao is just an ordinary man like me… He gets mad when people provoke him… He will go desperate… He will be furious… He has a desire just like everybody does…’

‘It seems behind his pretty face, there are vicious ideas, and those mean thoughts make him ugly. People say he is a god in the mortal world, but it turns out to be just a made-up story!’

‘It turns out… he is just a man who plays the vertical bamboo flute for a living…’

‘Just as Bu Xiangfeng said, no matter how good Master Xiao’s song is, why should we care if we are not going to have the chance to hear it?!’

‘How many times can a man hear Master Xiao’s songs in the Limitless Ocean?’

‘No matter how good he is; no matter how good at playing the flute he is, no matter what fabulous influence he can give to others, he only plays for those who are rich and powerful.’

‘It has nothing to do with ordinary cultivators like us.’

‘What is the point if he never gets back to us after all the worship we give to him?’

‘Will we be his slave just to listen to the sound of his flute?’

‘Absolutely not!’

‘Why would we help him get the material he wants and give up the chance to enhance our weapons?’

‘Isn’t it stupid? That is totally stupid!’

After that, people seemed to be enlightened.

Some even thought that the enlightenment they had could be even better than the beautiful sound of Master Xiao’s song!

Bu Xiangfeng was right. Under the pretty disguise of those made-up stories, he was just a man who plays the vertical bamboo flute for a living.

He was just an actor, and that was all.

Bu Xiangfeng indicated that he was both a prostitute and an actor, and people tended to believe it a little. Otherwise, how could a vertical bamboo flute player have over one hundred and eighty thousand purple spirit coins to spend in an auction… It was definitely not all the money he had. After all, he still needed a piece of Cosmos Iron. He must have even more money. People couldn’t help wondering where his money came from!

There were so many things about him that dissatisfied people. Some people already regretted that they had spent so much time and money on this man!

“No, the auction continues… The next lot will be…” The auctioneer continued the auction. In fact, he was annoyed.

When Master Xiao and the Farewell Sword were competing for the rare metals, there was no room for the auctioneer to play his role on the stage. He wasn’t needed when the quarrel had already brought the heat to the crowd.

As it was known, in an auction, the auctioneer’s most important job was to control the atmosphere.

Only when the auctioneer successfully controls the bidder’s block, the lots could be sold for the best price.

This time, the auction was different. The auctioneer didn’t even have many chances to speak. The Farewell Sword and Master Xiao had taken the scene.

In fact, no matter how well the auctioneer controlled the scene, the rare metal couldn’t be sold for such a high price!

The final price was definitely an absurd result of a baleful competition.

Even though the lot was sold for an exorbitant price, the auctioneer was still derelict in his duty because he didn’t take charge of the stage.

Therefore, the auctioneer was mad!

To make it up to the auction, the auctioneer did whatever he could to drive up the price of the ordinary lots between the two rare metals, and also drive up the price of the last three rare metals.

In fact, most of the bidders came for the last three rare metals. Because of the hard work of the auctioneer, the bidders all got spirited up during the auction.

The Star Trace Iron was sold for sixty thousand purple spirit coins.

The Star Trace Iron was the least valuable among the three rare metals, but it was actually sold for such a high price.

When the Great Dao Gold appeared, the entire auction house was boiling for it.

The Great Dao Gold and the Chaos Silver were both the materials only cultivators beyond Divinity Origin Stage could use. They were both precious treasures.

There should be fewer competitors because the Great Dao Gold was only for people above a certain cultivation level. However, these people were all crazily rich!

The high-level cultivators kept chasing after it.

The price kept rising and rising to an extraordinary number. What a bunch of solid men!

Some superior cultivators were almost at the end of their lives, so they would love to pay as much as they could to get the Great Dao Gold, which allowed them to break up to a new level.

They would do whatever they could to reach a new level, so they could extend their lives!

What was the point to keep their money if they were going to lose their lives?

If they obtained the Great Dao Gold, they would be one step closer to the greatness in cultivation.

It was such an irresistible attraction.

“Three hundred thousand purple spirit coins!”

When the price was at two hundred and fifty thousand purple spirit coins, the auctioneer said something that eventually raised the number up by fifty thousand.

“The Great Dao Gold… This piece of Great Dao Gold is the only one piece in the recent five hundred years. The raw Great Dao Gold… The only piece in five hundred years! Don’t you want to have it?”

It raised up the price to three hundred thousand purple spirit coins.

After that, it didn’t stop. The price kept rising.
