Immortal Path to Heaven - Chapter 1163

The price of a Fine Grade magic weapon was extraordinary. No one knew what the final price would be.

It was just the beginning. The price had increased from 1 million high-grade spirit coins to 1,500,000 high-grade spirit coins in the blink of an eye. Although Beishan City was only a small city, as the gateway to the Zhenwu Continent, there were also many wealthy big families.

In addition, there had never been any Fine Grade magic weapons here before. Almost every family had gone crazy.

The people-in-charge from the big families contacted their families while they participated in the bidding. The price continued to rise.

“It has gone up to 1,700,000.”

Big Boss Chou’s eyes were also filled with shock. ‘The bid has just begun. Have those people gone crazy?’

Ou Yangming was smiling. It seemed that auctioning the magic weapon was the right choice. After deducting the fees that would be paid to the Glorious Treasures Chamber of Commerce, as of this moment, the remaining spirit coins had exceeded 1.5 million.

With so many spirit coins, he would not have to worry about money for a long time.

The price continued to increase.

“1.9 million from the Qiu family.” The young master of the Qiu family was previously suppressed by Ou Yangming with 200,000 high-grade spirit coins. After receiving the full support of his family, his heroic spirit soared to the sky. He was no longer in a dejected state.

After reporting the price, he looked toward the fifth private room with a provocative look in his eyes.

He had been suppressed by the person inside just now, and he could finally vent the anger in his heart. The person in the private room never said a word since the Fine Grade magic weapon appeared. Young Master Qiu’s eyes carried a disdainful look. ‘Looks like that fella isn’t from any big family either and has the self-awareness to give up.’

“Sir, that idiot is still provoking you.”

Big Boss Chou narrowed his eyes and looked at the young master of the Qiu family.

‘If that young master finds out that this treasure was put up for auction by Sir Ou, what would he think?’

Ou Yangming’s face was full of smiles.

The more the young master was provoked, the happier he was because that would mean an increase of more than 10,000 spirit coins.

No one would refuse spirit coins, and Ou Yangming was the same.

Very soon, Young Master Qiu’s imposing manner was suppressed.

The few large families in Beishan City did not give in. At the moment, their strengths were not much different, but the appearance of a Fine Grade magic weapon might very well destroy this balance.

It was worth noting that there was a huge disparity between the grades of magic weapons. If the patriarch of a family obtained a Fine Grade magic weapon, the other families would be suppressed. After all, between equal-ranked powerhouses, one with a Fine Grade magic weapon could certainly suppress the other with a High Grade magic weapon.

“2 million.”

“2,050,000.”

“2,100,000.”

…

The price continued to rise. Ou Yangming looked as happy as a small flower. He did not think that the Fine Grade magic weapon would be so popular in Beishan City. These people really had nowhere to spend their money!

Only then did Ou Yangming realize what it meant to be rich. It was easy for him to earn money, but the accumulations of these families over countless years were also terrifying.

The red-clothed lady kept smiling. Her income would be extracted from the proceeds of the auction so the more spirit coins the auction earned, the more spirit coins she would receive.

This was the first time she had encountered such a good thing.

“2.3 million!”

All of a sudden, a loud voice was heard.

This price was directly increased by 100,000 high-grade spirit coins. Everyone looked over and noticed that the person who spoke was a muscular man wearing black armor.

When the people-in-charge from several families saw this, they all frowned.

“General Wang, are you here to cause trouble? Where did you get so many spirit coins?” The person-in-charge from the Han family said with an unfriendly look. Their families were experienced families in Beishan City, so they could naturally bid with a higher price. On the other hand, General Wang was only a rogue cultivator. He was the commander of the city guards at the moment. Even if he gathered his military pay, he would not be able to get 2 million high-grade spirit coins.

The people-in-charge from the other families also had unsightly looks on their faces.

They were fighting intensely here, yet someone came to cause trouble.

The commander of the city guards had a lot of power in Beishan City. He had the power to kill but to these experienced families, he was just a lackey. The people from influential clans were protected by strong forces, so they did not need to worry about the city guards.

At this time, the red-clothed lady on the high platform also had a cold glint in her eyes. She stared at the black-armored man and said in a deep voice, “General Wang, you should know where this place is. If you cause trouble, I’ll have to ask someone to bring you out…”

The red-dressed lady also understood that this Fine Grade magic weapon was not something that the commander of the city guards could afford.

General Wang’s expression remained the same. He stood up and smiled as he explained, “You’ve misunderstood me. I didn’t say that I came on behalf of myself. When everyone was competing just now, I sent a voice transmission to the governor. The governor has asked me to secure the treasure at all costs.”

“What? The governor?”

“What a cunning fella. He couldn’t afford it himself, so he reported it to the governor!”

“Bootlicker!”

The people from the big families had grave looks on their faces. After hearing the news, they believed that the general was here to cause trouble.

Needless to say, the governor’s participation had increased the pressure on everyone, and it had also added many variables to the auction. After all, he was the king of Beishan City.

The governor’s backing was also very strong. It was not something any of the families could compare to.

“I see. I’ve wronged you just now, general, please don’t blame me…” The red-clothed lady’s eyes were like silk as she said in a soft voice.

“Of course not. I dare not blame you, Miss Moli,” General Wang said hurriedly.

After the small interlude, the auction continued.

This time, there was a change as the governor was involved.

As time passed, the price became higher, but everyone became quieter.

At this point, everyone was treading on thin ice, and they needed to be careful at all times. Even the families behind them needed to think carefully.

The bidding became slower, but the red-clothed lady was not in a hurry.

A few hours passed, but everyone felt as if a century had passed.

In the end, the magic weapon was obtained by the governor. Under the governor’s instructions, General Wang ended the competition of wealth with a price of 4.8 million high-grade spirit coins.

This price was too exaggerated, and it was the first in Beishan City’s auction.

Everyone left after that.

The families were not resigned to the outcome, but it was still acceptable. At the very least, the balance between the families had not been broken, but the governor’s status had risen by a level.

Outside the Glorious Treasures Chamber of Commerce, the governor’s personal guards were waiting outside.

The governor was the winner of the competition but of course, Ou Yangming was the final victor.

After deducting the transaction fee for the Glorious Treasures Chamber of Commerce, there were still 4,560,000 high-grade spirit coins left, which filled several interspatial bags.

Ou Yangming took out another 120,000 and bought all the flying boat designs from the Glorious Treasures Chamber of Commerce.

Then came the materials used to refine the flying boat. Ou Yangming naturally took the best. After spending crazily, he used nearly 500,000 high-grade spirit coins.

A small flying boat only cost 200,000 to 300,000 spirit coins. Taking into account the Lightning Ore from the auction, Ou Yangming had used more than 700,000 spirit coins to buy the materials. Of course, the flying boat that he wanted was not as simple as an ordinary flying boat.

In a courtyard in the west of the city.

Ou Yangming had been in seclusion in a secret room for more than a month.

“Failed again.”

A sigh sounded in the secret room.

Ou Yangming’s hair was messy, and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked very tired. He had been refining for a month, and he had refined 7 or 8 dragon boats, but none of them satisfied him.

He threw the palm-sized dragon boat onto the ground. It looked like it was only the size of a palm but once it was used, it would immediately turn into a huge flying boat that could easily carry people on it.

In actuality, it was not a failure, but its level did not meet Ou Yangming’s requirements.

He intended to build a High Grade or even a Fine Grade flying boat but after several attempts, the flying boats that he had refined were only of Good Grade. The results were the same even when he used the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron.

The nature of a flying boat was also a magic treasure, but it was still very different from ordinary magic treasures. It was more difficult for him to refine one, and the price was also more expensive. The price of a Common Grade flying boat far exceeded that of a Good Grade magic weapon. It could even be compared to a High Grade magic weapon.

Most of the flying boats outside were of Common Grade. Even the one that Ou Yangming rode to come to the Zhenwu Continent from the outer sky was the same.

Despite that, Ou Yangming was not satisfied with such a level. Even if it was a Good Grade one, he was not willing to accept it. A High Grade flying boat was his bottom line. A month had passed, and a lot of materials had been used, but the High Grade flying boat was still not refined.

“What exactly is wrong?”

Ou Yangming looked at the 4 blueprints on the wall again and again. Throughout this month, he had remembered every detail on the blueprints.

“No, there must be a problem.”

Ou Yangming recalled the dragon boat that he had used before. The refinements of a dragon boat and a flying boat were similar. His eyes suddenly lit up, then he tried again.

This time, he merged the appearance of a dragon boat and a flying boat, and he made the flying boat much smaller. He was alone, so he would not need such a large area. After a long time, the flying boat flew out from the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron.

Ou Yangming’s face was full of surprise and joy.

This flying boat looked ugly. There was no light outside, but it was of High Grade, which was already in line with his lowest requirement.

Ou Yangming then took out the Lightning Ore from the Long Feather Band.

He carefully used purple flames to melt the Lightning Ore, which slowly seeped into the flying boat.

Ou Yangming observed it again.

The flying boat became even uglier with traces of green light on it. Ou Yangming had no energy to complain about the boat’s appearance. He released his mental power as he wanted to know the flying boat’s equivalent rank. After fusing with the Lightning Ore, he figured that the grade must have changed.

However, Ou Yangming was surprised to find that his mental power could no longer detect the flying boat’s equivalent rank.

“Has it become a Taoist Tool?”

Ou Yangming’s eyes were filled with disbelief because this was almost impossible. A Taoist Tool flying boat? What kind of joke was that?

The young fellow tried to use his blood to make the flying boat recognize its master but sure enough, there was no reaction. This meant that it was not a Taoist Tool.

After Ou Yangming used the green Lightning Ore on the High Grade flying boat, it had lost itself. Its body emitted green light, and it even lost its equivalent rank.
