Chapter 1718: Chapter 1723 - First, an Auction

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Chen Xiaobei moved Xiao’er into the Myriad Beasts Ring.

An image of a beetle and a small but full battery appeared in Chen Xiaobei’s head.

This meant that Xiao’er’s health was at its optimum state. Almost instantly, Xiao’er’s battery turned green, indicating that Xiao’er was cultivating and was at the peak of its current cultivation.

When Chen Xiaobei checked it earlier, Xiao’er was at the peak of Celestial Cultivation, approaching Ethereal cultivation.

So, when the full, green battery turned empty and red, it would mean that Xiao’er had broken through to Ethereal Cultivation.

“This is good! With me supplying Spiritual Qi, Xiao’er’s cultivating speed would be much faster than before!” Chen Xiaobei thought out loud. “Xiao’er is a primordial ancient beast! Just wait until he grows 12 pairs of wings! By that time, he will be able to fight against one of those powerful deities! But, I might have to wait for a long time before it comes true! Right now, I think it will be powerful enough for him to just grow a pair of wings first!”

Swoosh…

Suddenly, a spacecraft landed not far from where Chen Xiaobei was standing.

Wugui Kojiro stepped out and ran towards Chen Xiaobei, calling out, “Master! I’m here!”

“Is there anyone else?” Chen Xiaobei asked.

“No, it’s just me!” Wugui Kojiro answered. “Why did you call me here? Do you need my help with the Giant Barbaric Tiger?!”

“No. I’ve already captured one!” Chen Xiaobei answered. “We only have twenty days left. I need you to get me to Tenshou Starfield immediately! We’ll to start on our mission right away!”

“What?! You’ve already captured a Giant Barbaric Tiger? How is that possible?” Wugui Kojiro’s beady eyes rounded significantly. “I had always thought that being able to capture a Giant Barbaric Tiger within twenty days was already impressive enough, and you only used a day to do it?!”

“Enough nonsense! Let’s make a move now!” Chen Xiaobei did not have time to explain, making his way quickly to the spacecraft.

“Yes, master!” Wugui Kojiro followed behind.

With Wugui Kojiro flying the spacecraft, the two of them left the mountains.

On the way, they came across many Tenshou warriors and Royal Dome soldiers. Despite that, they all recognized Wugui Kojiro’s spacecraft so they did not impede.

Since he had nothing to do on the spacecraft, Chen Xiaobei took out his two latest additions of Earth-God Instruments to study them.

He had only just taken them out when Wugui Kojiro screamed, “My god! That’s the Ximen family’s Azure Frost Sword and Yuwen family’s Crimson Demon Fan… How did it end up in your hands?”

“You recognize these two Earth-God Instruments?” Chen Xiaobei asked.

“Of course! How can I not?” Wugui Kojiro spoke in quick, excited chirps. “These Earth-God Instruments are very famous weapons. There’s no one in the Nine Zones who do not know about it.”

“Wow! Everyone knows it? Then what the hell am I using it for?!” Chen Xiaobei was very irritated.

“Why not?” Wugui Kojiro asked.

“Are you crazy?” Chen Xiaobei snapped. “What do you think will happen to me if someone sees me using these two instruments? Do you think that the Ximens and the Yuwens will just let me off the hook?”

“No… No…” Wugui Kojiro stammered. “These two priceless treasures are those families’ pride and most prized items! If they find out that you have them, they will surely hunt you down and take it back from you!”

“Damn it!” Chen Xiaobei cursed under his breath. “It was not easy getting these two Earth-God Instruments, and now, I find out that I can’t use them! It’s like having the most beautiful woman in the world stand in front of you but are only allowed to see and not touch her!”

“They really cannot be touched!” Wugui Kojiro said, “The Ximen and Yuwen Families are extremely rich in resources. The masters of their houses are at the pinnacle phase of God-Ascension! If they have their eyes on you, you’re either dead or you’ll wish you were dead!”

“I don’t need you to tell me that. I know that very well!” Chen Xiaobei frowned. “But right now, our aim is to stop the joint-attack. I’ll just set these Earth-God Instruments aside first! Argh! How frustrating!”

“Don’t be angry, master! I have a suggestion!” Wugui Kojiro said. “Since you can’t use these two instruments, you might as well sell them. After you exchange them for Spiritual Stones, you can consider buying new Earth-God Instruments!”

“Sell?! What sort of bad joke are you cracking?” Chen Xiaobei shouted again. “Who would dare to buy Ximen Family’s and Yuwen Family’s things?”

“Master, don’t forget that we are still in Apocalypse Starfield!” Wugui Kojiro smiled. “There are plenty of families more powerful than the Ximens and Yuwens in Black Tortoise Land! We’ll just need to sell it, and there will definitely be a buyer!”

“Alright!” Chen Xiaobei agreed. “I’ve spent a whole day hunting that tiger. We should spend some time to get a good deal for these two hot potatoes!”

“No problem!” Wugui Kojiro grinned. “It just so happens that I know the manager of an auction house. He’s an old friend of our family. If we go to him, he will only take a 1% commission from the auction sale!”

Chen XIaobei and Wugui Kojiro got out of the ten thousand mountains and went through a portal to return to Black Tortoise’s capital city.

The place was so big that they had to rely on their spacecraft to get to their destination as quickly as possible.

Scarlet Moon Auction House

Wugui Kojiro was explained with enthusiasm, “Black Tortoise’s capital city is humongous. There are thousands of Auction Houses, and Scarlet Moon is considered one of the top ten!”

“Auction houses have a ranking too?” Chen Xiaobei asked.

“Of course!” Wugui Kojiro answered. “Auction houses are rated mainly according to their clientele! The richer their customers, the higher their purchase power, the higher the auction price! Items that are priced high would draw more people to auction off even more high-grade items. At the same time, they would also attract more deep-pocketed clients, forming a virtuous cycle!”

“There are not more than ten auction houses in Black Tortoise’s capital city which were able to reach this level, and Scarlet Moon is one of them!” Wugui Kojiro smiled with pride. He was very confident with the auction house that he recommended.

“Take these Earth-God Instruments!” Chen XIaobei said. “You’ll be in charge of contacting the manager. You’ll decide how to auction it. I don’t know how much they are worth anyway. There’s no need for me to show my face!”

“Don’t worry, master!” Wugui Kojiro thumped his chest and said, “I will do my best to sell these instruments at the highest price possible!”

“You’ve already eaten the dog biscuit, so I’m not worried at all!” Chen Xiaobei said. “On our way here, I saw a Taobao Market. I’ll go look around there! Once the auction date and time has been decided, do inform me!”
