Monarch Of Time

Chapter 108 - 108 Green nectar fruits

ʼʼSenior! Would you be willing to sell this barrel privately to our ʼTreasure Pavilionʼ?ʼʼ

Shun Long almost burst out laughing as he heard Ma Tengfeiʼs request and asked with a greedy look in his eyes under his black robes

ʼʼHow much is your pavilion willing to pay?ʼʼ

Ma Tengfei thought for a bit before asking somewhat weakly

ʼʼH-How about, 80 percent of what the first barrel sells for?ʼʼ

Even Yin Xing sighed as he heard this, while Shun Long shook his head and responded

ʼʼThatʼs far too little. I will sell it to you for 100 percent of what the first barrel makes.ʼʼ

Ma Tengfei however immediately protested as he said

ʼʼSenior, thatʼs too much! What if the first barrel sells for an exorbitant price?ʼʼ

Shun Long frowned at how stingy the ʼTreasure Pavilionʼ seemed to be and responded in an apathetic voice

ʼʼYou seem to have misunderstood some things. The ʼfloating cloud sectʼ isnʼt the only sect around here. Since your pavilion didnʼt agree, then I will sell my wine elsewhere.ʼʼ

Ma Tengfei was extremely anxious when he heard this and said with an ugly smile on his face

ʼʼSenior, please donʼt be rash. This junior was simply making a joke. Of course, our pavilion would be willing to pay as much as the first barrel gets sold for! For a wine like seniorʼs no matter how high the price goes, our pavilion will match it.ʼʼ

Shun Long laughed inwardly, but facing Ma Tengfei, he simply nodded his head as he said

ʼʼThatʼs good. Alright then, since you have other matters to attend to then I wonʼt keep you here any longer.ʼʼ

Both Ma Tengfei and Yin Xing then bowed before leaving the room.

Little Blackʼs voice then sounded inside Shun Longʼs head as he watched Yin Xing and Ma Tengfei leaving the room and said

ʼʼMaster, these people from the ʼTreasure Pavilionʼ are very greedy. Normally, they wouldnʼt even get a chance to purchase masterʼs wine, and this person still wanted to purchase it at a lower price.ʼʼ

Shun Long smiled as he heard the black dragonʼs words before he took out the last wine barrel from the herb garden.

After filling a huge bowl for himself, Shun Long handed the rest of the wine in the barrel to the sulky black dragon.

Little Black then happily accepted the wooden barrel, and this time instead of gulping all the wine down, he took his time to enjoy it.

Time quickly passed as Shun Long and little Black were enjoying their wine, when a beautiful young lady in green robes stepped on the main stage of the auction hall.

When the crowd saw Lan Jinjing, hushed discussions suddenly filled the auction hall

ʼʼWhatʼs going on with the ʼTreasure Pavilionʼ? Why is miss Lan here today? Donʼt we still have a few months until the yearly auction?ʼʼ

ʼʼI heard that there is something special with todayʼs auction. Supposedly, someone even some Elders from the big families enter the private rooms.ʼʼ

Lan Jinjing smiled at the crowd and clapped her hands once, drawing everyoneʼs attention to her as she said

ʼʼHonorable guests of our ʼTreasure Pavilionʼ, my name is Lan Jinjing and I will be your auctioneer once again for todayʼs monthly auction. Our ʼTreasure Pavilionʼ has prepared some special items for today, so I hope that you are all excited for our auction.

As always the rules remain the same. Every item starts at a minimum price, and the guests with the highest bid in the end can obtain them.ʼʼ

Taking a deep breath, Lan Jinjing saw the excited crowd, and clapped her hands once more as she continued

ʼʼWithout further ado then, letʼs start todayʼs auction!ʼʼ

As Lan Jinjing finished speaking, 2 outer disciples carried a small table with a plate at the center of the stage. Inside the plate were 6 small green fruits that Shun Long recognized as the ʼgreen nectar fruitsʼ.

ʼʼDear guests, the first item for todayʼs auction is this bundle of 6 rank 2 ʼgreen nectar fruitsʼ. As you all may know, the ʼgreen nectar fruitʼ can allow a cultivator at the early stages of the earth grade to have an 80 percent chance of directly advancing to the next rank. Although the effect for a middle stage earth grade expert would be less than 30 percent, the chance is still there.

There are 6 fruits and they are all sold as a bundle. The minimum bid must be 2000 sect points and every increment must be at least 100 sect points higher than the last bid.ʼʼ

As soon as Lan Jinjing finished introducing the ʼgreen nectar fruitsʼ, the crowd at the outer seats instantly started bidding

ʼʼ2000ʼʼ

ʼʼHa, you think you can get this fruit with 2000 sect points? 2300ʼʼ

ʼʼ2500ʼʼ

..

ʼʼ3400ʼʼ

..

ʼʼ4000ʼʼ

The price of the rank 2 ʼgreen nectar fruitsʼ had quickly reached the 3500 sect points when Shun Longʼs voice drew everyoneʼs attention as he called his bid of 4000 points.

Although the crowd in the outer seats didnʼt know who the black robed man who called this bid was, the people in the other private rooms had already learned that this senior was the one who had created the disturbance in the ʼTreasure Pavilionʼ the last time. It was also this senior who was auctioning the ʼspecial wineʼ today, and no one in the private rooms were willing to fight with him for a rank 2 fruit.

ʼʼ4100ʼʼ A young man in the outer seats, didnʼt seem willing to give up so easily, as he gritted his teeth and called out his bid again.

ʼʼ5000ʼʼ

Shun Longʼs heavy voice sounded from the private room once again.

Since there were no more bids after that, Shun Long successfully obtained the 6 ʼgreen nectar fruitsʼ.

As the auction continued however, Shun Long was disappointed since no other items had managed to pique his interest. Time passed and soon Lan Jinjingʼs voice sounded from the main stage as she declared

ʼʼWe are now down to the last 2 items of our auction.ʼʼ

ʼʼHonorable guests of our pavilion, there are only 2 items left for todayʼs auction.ʼʼ

Then, a white-robed Elder walked on the main stage holding a yellow piece of paper.

The crowd seemed to be unaware of what this was, but most of the people inside the private rooms were already looking at this piece of paper eagerly, as if it was some kind of precious treasure.
