Heavenly Dao Child

It has been almost two hours since the start of the auction, various items have been sold and Ryuu got to see some very heated bid wars between the participants.

"My Lord please enjoy this.", Ino one of the attendant spoke to Ryuu as she presented a glass full of chilled orange colored juice.

Ryuu took the juice as he took a sip the cold fuzzy drink hit his mouth causing him to feel elated the drink had a tasted like an orange fruit but it was bubbly and fuzzy, "This is wonderful drink what kind of fruit juice is this?"

Ino smiled as she replied, "I am glad you were able to enjoy this fruit juice your Lordship, this is a local fruit known as 'Kinnow' fruit is a local fruit, it is rich in KI as such a favorite for cultivators."

Ryuu nodded at that while inwardly thinking, 'It is tasty but unfortunately it is not useful for me KI contained by the fruit is like a drop in front of the ocean I require to advance to next stage.'

As he peered down towards the stage item number 7 was brought onto the stage a mesmerizing painting of an ancient battlefield as Ryuu looked towards the painting he saw as if the painting started to move he found himself standing on a battlefield surrounded by corpses the sky was red because of the setting sun as battle raged on and he watched with horror as men and beasts slew each other only to snap back into reality, the painting was hidden by cloth.

Ryuu found a hand on his shoulder as he turned to see a Sylvana looking at him with concerned eyes, "Ryuu, are alright?"

Ryuu calmed his nerves as he controlled his breathing, "I am now sister what was that?"

Antariskh, "It seems a very powerful Array is placed on the picture which causes any person who looks at it to get trapped inside an array." Ryuu nodded at that, but before he could speak Antariskh continued, "Though it seems that the picture is actually a cover to hide something else, but the array is strong enough to even avoid detection by a low level Celestial, hmmm let us purchase it would be like giving out pearl to a swine if it were to be acquired by this people.", she finished with a condescending tone.

Ryuu hated when his sisters looked down on others, no matter how high the level of the cultivator is once upon a time they were also at their level struggling their way to the top he wanted to tell his sisters to stop doing that but held his tongue after all no matter what they do they at the end of the day were not related to him he was just their parents student who was simply leeching off of them, as such he has no say in how they act, sometimes he wished his mother was still alive at least he did not have to grow up around strangers who did not have any blood relation with him after all family is family but unfortunately he was alone in this vast universe, those scums who shared his and his mother's blood did not count, he shook his head quickly dispelling his sad thoughts.

Lang Yazhu: "Item Number 17, a painting named 'The Ancient Battlefield', a painting by an unknown painter discovered by our team while investigating an old tomb, this painting seems to have a miraculous way to temper ones will and heart through the use of an illusion, starting price for this picture starts at 600 low grade spirit stones."

There was some silence after she spoke but one could easily hear a distinct murmur of whispers, "600 anyone willing to bet 600 once, twice….", but as she was about to raise her hammer to strike the gravel a woman from VIP section placed her bid, " 650", Lang Yazhu's face did not show any signs of worry or anxiety as she had a pleasant smile on her face but inwardly was another matter altogether if she could not sell even a single item it would reflect badly on her as such she was relieved on hearing someone bidding on it, " 650 Low grade Spirit Stone for VIP number 5, 650 once, 650 twice", soon another spoke out "700", as such the bid war raged on as the price started climbing and reachedto about 1Mid Grade and 600 Low grade Spirit Stone, Lang Yazhu was a little pleased at that, "Can anyone give higher than that, as she scanned the crowd watching as none bidding anymore she began the countdown only to for a bid of 2 Mid grade Spirit Stones being made from Royal Balcony Number 3, "2 Mid Grade Spirit Stones once, 2 Mid twice,…", but she was once again stopped by Royal Balcony Number 6, who bid '3 Mid Grade Spirit Stones',but before Yazhu could speak a counter bid of '4 Mid Grade Spirit Stones', from balcony number 3.

A male voice came from the Royal Balcony number 6, which silenced the excited whisper of among the people present as this was the highest amount till now, "Fellow Daoist whoever you are I am Yang Chao from Yang clan I hope you will allow us to purchase this picture if so I will owe you a personal favor."

After hearing the person's name everyone within the audience went pale face who hasn't heard of 'Mad Dog' Chao, a complete madman who was known for killing his foes by biting their throats, a tyrant of peak Wanxiang Adept realm who was a close friend of the Governor.

A loud giggle was heard which liketinkle of a bell it sped the heartbeat of everyone present even the announcer, as a sweet voice spoke out, "Trash if you do not have any more money go and beg outside I might through some Spirit Stones at you, Oh and I will now pay 6 Mid Grade Spirit Stones."

Yang Chao was shaking with anger he was thinking how he will make that harlot pay for her insolence so engrossed in his thought that when he paid attention to the surrounding he heard, "With 6 Mid Grade Spirit Stones Item Number 17 sold to Royal Balcony Number 3". He frowned but then a cold smile appeared on his face as long as they were within the city they will pay for humiliating him.

Meanwhile Ryuu saw the entire proceedings trying to garner his complete attention as he saw how his eldest sister bought the picture and how she insulted the fellow on balcony number 6, but unfortunately he was preoccupied.

Ino spoke fearfully, "My Lady that person 'Yang Chao' is the right hand of the Governor a very cruel and vicious person not only that he is a peak Wanxiang Adept cultivator he could harm you all greatly."

At that everyone laughed giggled at that except Ryuu who had found hidden euphoria as he was munching through another pair of 'Fried Phoenix Chicken leg' which was prepared and brought by Minami as snacks.

Shamiran spoke her eyes shone hidden amusement, "A mere Wanxiang Adept of peak rank, even our baby brother can defeat him, right Ryuu.", at that Ryuu just lazily flared his aura causing the eyes of all four attendants to grow wide as their jaw dropped, Ryuu meanwhile just send a curious glance towards them as he could not understand, 'why are my sisters giving out so much information to outsiders?'

Sylvana glanced at Ryuu with smirk mixture between teasing and knowing as she gave him a small wink, now Ryuu lost his appetite as he felt a headache coming his way his sisters were planning something troublesome again.
