Chapter 355 Auction
Spaceships flying in the sky are as numerous as stars, and starships breaking through the atmosphere and entering the moon are as frequent and common as airplanes in the 21st century.
Accelerating and overtaking one starship after another, after breaking through the atmosphere, the Void Python rolled up the two of them, and they appeared on the distant moon in the next breath.
With his feet on the ground, Wang Xuan strolled on the moon. After the transformation, the gravity of the satellite has changed and the environment is also suitable for the reproduction of life.
The faint moonlight filled the air, and the pedestrians on the street were all handsome and slender, with cultivation levels above the bone training level.
It can be said that every inch of land on the moon is valuable. It is the base of many large cross-star groups, and their headquarters are located here, such as Life Technology, Divine Genes, Star Mecha Group, Space Battleship Group, etc.
With the federal government headquarters located here and many top universities, led by the Federal University, the moon has become a gathering place for social elites.
The moon is a tourist destination, political center, and economic center. Ordinary people may be able to go up and take a look by spending a year or two’s salary, but it is impossible for them to live there for a long time.
Yue Yiyi stood on the carapace of Ba Xia. The little golden turtle turned into the size of a washbasin and ran very fast with the child on its back.
The golden-winged Roc turned into a foot tall and stood on Yue Yiyi's shoulder, staring at everything around it with a pair of amber eyes.
“Is this what the moon looks like?”
Yue Yiyi was not surprised by the scenery here, but she was extremely happy because she had never been here before and had fulfilled her wish to leave the earth.
"More lively, more prosperous." Wang Xuan said. He had seen too much and was no longer surprised.
Starships shuttled through the sky, and various buildings that looked like works of art shone with silver light. For example, a 300-story building looked like a sitting elephant, with its trunk spraying spring water into the sky.
The auction that Wang Xuan is participating in this time will begin soon. Hengyuan Auction House is a joint venture of several large families. The headquarters often holds large-scale auctions. The most common items are coveted by earthly immortals, and the finale items are generally fought over by true immortals.
Even unimaginable magical items have appeared here, leading to the arrival of Half-Step Immortality, which shows the enormous power of Hengyuan Auction House.
Crescent Bay is a place where mountains embrace water, and there is a plain all around. The air is filled with spiritual energy and the grass is lush and green. It looks peaceful, but there is a large-scale formation in place. Anyone who dares to invade will trigger the ban and die miserably.
In the center is a stepped building, revealing the lake in front, with lotus flowers blooming all year round.
There is a suspended jade platform on the lake, which is ten feet long and wide. It looks ordinary. The jade platform is very simple and ancient, like a large array plate.
At this time, the Hengyuan Auction House was very lively. Maids stood gracefully, welcoming the human and earthly immortals into the venue.
Robots are already rampant in this era, but in order to demonstrate its generosity, Hengyuan Auction House hired students from famous universities on the moon as maids, which invisibly elevated their status.
Soon the two of them took their seats. They were at the top of the stepped seats, and the people sitting below were all immortals. The open-air seats made them feel like audience members at a concert.
The earthly immortals in the middle level have small rooms of dozens of square meters. When the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows are opened, one can see clearly what is ahead. The upper level is for the celestial immortals. The higher one goes, the higher one’s status becomes. There are fifteen positions on the top level.
Wang Xuan held Yue Yiyi and sat in a separate compartment. The room of several hundred square meters belonged to them. It was decorated luxuriously and there were more than a dozen maids serving them.
Surrounded by Pure Yang cultivators, Wang Xuan took the initiative to change his appearance. After experiencing the schemes of the powerful men from the Abyss, he paid more attention to safety.
Yue Yiyi felt awkward sitting there and jumped out of his arms again: "I want to sit by myself!"
Wang Xuan waved his hand, and the waiters brought two thrones, one large and one small. One for Yue Yiyi and one for the Golden-winged Dapeng, while Jin Ao also sat on a small pure gold chair.
This scene is indeed quite funny.
The wooden board under his feet was made of iron halberd wood, a spiritual material, and extended to the rosewood pillar in the corner. Hanging on the wall was a glowing white light, which was a thousand-year-old clam pearl that could be used to avoid water and repel fire.
The fur under Wang Xuan's seat was the fur of a snow ferret, a top-level earth demon. It was exceptionally soft and smooth, and of course extremely precious. Its price was so high that it was unimaginable for ordinary people.
The auction did not start for a long time. The human immortals and earthly immortals entered on time and would not wait for those who were late. However, a few true immortals did not come, so the auction had to wait.
"Why hasn't it started yet?" Yue Yiyi was a little bored, kicking her two jade-like little feet back and forth.
A middle-aged woman who looked like a manager signaled the waiter to bring the spiritual fruit drink, but Yue Yiyi didn't want to move after taking a sip.
"This thing is not delicious." The delicious food she usually eats as snacks is so delicious that even a fairy would feel pain in her flesh, how could she look down on it. The waiter was speechless after hearing this. They had spent all their wealth to taste the things they dreamed of, but others despised them.
It really makes people feel that there is a huge difference in their status.
"Can you play chess?" Wang Xuan asked.
Yue Yiyi glanced at her warily. She thought, would her nephew want to use his age advantage to bully her in Go?
After all, she knew that adults had a bad taste in teasing children, and they did so based on their intelligence and experience.
"Yes." Yue Yiyi smiled sweetly and started to keep accounts in a small notebook.
Wang Xuan nodded and took out a pure yang-grade demon elephant ivory. He used the Way of Creation to extract the essence of the hard ivory and eroded it into a chessboard and chess pieces. He just dyed the black pieces with ink at will.
"Jin'ao, come and play chess with Yiyi. If you win a game, I will give you ten buckets of Pure Yang Pills." After he made a gesture, he began to concentrate his mind and think about the follow-up of the True Book of Creation.
At Xianwu Mountain, he checked out a lot of immortal-level martial arts manuals. As a Taoist priest, he had the authority to browse the immortal manuals in the library at will.
Use the numerous immortal classics as nourishment and absorb the essence of wisdom to give birth to the true classic of creation. Otherwise, if you really have to rely on yourself, the difficulty will be no different from Pangu creating the world.
Yue Yiyi glanced at the Golden Ao. It was said that the bloodline of this Overlord was very pure, but it seemed to be quite stupid. She would definitely be able to beat it in playing chess!
"Come, let's play Go." Yue Yiyi said.
The golden turtle's eyes sparkled. When it heard Wang Xuan say there was a reward, it felt like it was tickling in its heart and was looking forward to it. It said, "Come down quickly."
Yue Yiyi set up the chessboard and started playing with Jin Ao. Soon, Yue Yiyi's laughter and Jin Ao's distressed voice could be heard.
"You idiot, you can't play Go like that."
"These chess pieces are about to die. I'm going to eat them."
"I've eaten your chess piece again, hehe."
Yue Yiyi was very happy because Jin Ao had never learned Go. Taking advantage of the rules, she began to crush Jin Ao. Jin Ao kept suffering losses and also kept accumulating experience.
There was no doubt that Jin Ao lost miserably in the first game.
In the second set, Jin Ao managed to fight back once or twice.
In the third game, Yue Yiyi spent more and more time frowning and thinking.
In the fourth game, Yue Yiyi felt that she was going to lose, because Jin Ao had already suffered most of the losses he could suffer.
She was just a five-year-old child. Although she was smart, her brain could not compare with Jin Ao who was in the Dharmakaya realm. Because what she thought about for an hour, Jin Ao could probably think of in just one second.
She didn't want to admit defeat. At this moment, she was so angry that she wanted to overturn the chessboard, but she didn't do it because it was too unreasonable and not in line with her status.
So, she opened the French window and shouted, "We've been waiting for two hours for the auction. Don't wait any longer! Our time is precious!"
If the auction starts, then this game of chess will not have to be played, Yue Yiyi thought happily in her little head.
More than ten True Immortals above took a look and were extremely surprised. They patrolled the surroundings with their spiritual power. Since Yue Yiyi was here, Hong Xuanji might be here too.
You must know that Hong Xuanji is the head of Xianwu Mountain and a newly-promoted immortal. His identity and status are unimaginably high.
The disciples of the immortals, even if they have no cultivation at all, are not something that the true immortals can afford to provoke. So they simply pretend that Yue Yiyi does not exist and do not touch her.
"Let's start." A voice came from underground. It was from a star lord guarding the headquarters. All the true immortals in the world knew Yue Yiyi, the person who was easy to provoke but not to be provoked.
The girl's words sounded like a child making a fuss. Thousands of immortals were confused and thought the child would be scolded, but they didn't expect that the auction would actually begin.
(There should be one more chapter before twelve o'clock. I'll take a break after dinner and continue writing.)
