Dragon's Soul Chapter 21: Golden Lotus

"What? I wasn't talking about you. But I guess since you responded I guess you admit that you are a dog. Hahaha." Zhang replied with a laugh

Standing beside Jin Chang were forty hulking men that looked even more well-built then the six that he had with him last night.

"I've been meaning to test this out for a while." He murmured

Once the energy coated the dagger and chain it began to move in midair according to Zhang's will.

A white light shone from Zhang's hand and an almost endless amount of chains shot out. Using the Underworld Heart Zhang also lengthened the chain so it could have extended to an unbelievable length.

"No no I wouldn't dare kill the young master of the Jin clan. But teaching you a lesson is another story." Zhang once more snickered

The dagger began weaving between the hulking men and Jin Chang at unbelievable speeds.

As if it was a snake the chain began constructing the men and binding them closely together.

"You want me to let you go? Sure if that's what you want." Zhang said with a smile.

The chain links that he had formed dissipated and turned into specks of white light.

A cool breeze blew by.

When he looked down all he saw was strips of cloth barely covering his body. In fact, all of his guards were also in strips of clothing and we're practically nude.

Once realizing what happened Jin Chang quickly uses his hands to cover his important parts.

Before Jin Chang could say anything else the dagger in Zhang's hand shot out and once more soared through the air. This time with a loud bang it embedded itself into the ground right in front of Jin Chang.

Hearing this a bit of fear could be seen on Jin Chang's face.

"Qu-quickly form up around the young master we are leaving!" One of the guards yelled toward the others.

"What the fuck are you looking at!?" Jin Chang screamed at one of the onlookers.

"Get out of my way!" Jin Chang yelled as he kicked at the man and stormed off.

"So what do you two want to do today?" Zhang asked Yuying and Ai.

"Yea I wanted to have a look at the auction house too." Yuying said.

After placing his order at the weapon store Zhang, Yuying and Ai began heading for the auction house.

While the trio walked through the streets they reviewed a mix of gazes. Some were filled with awe due to the two beauties. Once the donned the dresses that Zhang had bought they became like polished gems. Just by walking on the street they would mesmerizing people.

While others looking at the women beside them thought that they were lacking and felt somewhat dejected.

Seeing it afar from the harbor was one thing but seeing it up close was another.

The auction house itself looked magnificent with many beautiful statues built into the side of the building. Its entrance was a pair of golden gates with flowers and vines laid on top with gold. In the center of each gate stuck out two large golden lotuses.

"Hello young master and misses, how may I help you today." The elderly man said in a kind tone.

"Ah is that so, to take part in the auction you must pay an entry fee of two gold coins per a person. And if you wished to bid for anything a depositor must be put out beforehand. This is to ensure that people do not bid and then not be able to pay for the item they won." The man explained.

Once the elderly man recorded the six coins with another wave of his hand Zhang made a pile of one hundred thousand gold coins appear.

The man was stupefied once he saw how causally Zhang seemed and for him to be so young yet have so much wealth on him.

A hundred silver coins would allow an extremely poor family to survive and thrive for a year. While a hundred of gold coins were all a regular family has.

While the entire wealth of a regular wealth family was only a few hundred thousand gold coins.

For someone of Zhang's age to casually pull out one hundred thousand gold coins the elderly man could only guess how rich his family was.

The amount of gold Zhang had gotten off the pirates was unbelievable. It included gold that they had accumulated over years of pillaging and the amount they recorded to assassinate Jian Wei was astronomical.

After counting the coins Zhang had placed into the counter the man leads the trio to a private vip room with a balcony. The balcony would overlook where the auction would be taking place.

Zhang naturally knew the value of the amount of coins he had put out but having never been to an auction house he did not know where the winning bids ranged from.

The room the trio was in had fruit and refreshments placed on a table for guests and came equips with comfy seats and even a maid.

A pretty young lady walked onto stage and greeted the people in the auctioning hall. She is going to be the auctioneer for this auction.

Many whistles and cheers could be heard from the audience. This is of course because a majority of them had come just to see her. In Red Mist city she was one of the most sought after women and naturally the auction house has hired her because of this.

Seeing this a portion of the audience went nuts. Interspatial rings were indeed very sought after and not very often put into auction. Only the rich could afford to own one of these rings and most of the time the kept them within the family.

This man was named An Gao and controlled roughly twenty percent of the cities rice trade.

"Next we have a pair of hairpins made of extremely rare white jade. They are treasures that would make any woman's heart move." Chi Zhen said as a maid placed two delicate looking hairpins on a pedestal.

"We will start the bidding at two hundred gold coins."

"One hundred and fifty!" Zhang yelled from the balcony he was in.

"Three hundred." Zhang yelled.

"Any more bidders?" Chi Zhen asked with a slight smile on her face. She was somewhat amazed that the price of the hairpins shot up so quick. Usually people bit by one or two gold coins or in increments of ten for such items.

Looking toward the balcony where the voice came from Zhang saw Jin Chang.

"Young master Jin! So we meet again!" Zhang yelled out as he stood up at the balcony.

Before Jin Chang could say another word Zhang placed another bid.

Yuying and Ai couldn't help but giggle a bit when Zhang doubled the price. This is because they did not like Jin Chang and seeing how mad he got when Zhang raised the price made them somewhat happy.

"Thanks young master for letting me win the hairpins for my two lovely ladies here. I couldn't possibly outbid you if you wanted the hairpins for yourself." Zhang teased.

"You two come here and let me put it on for you." He said as he gestured Yuying and Ai to come.

"Brother how can you be so cheap. Getting only a pair of hairpins while there are two of us." Ai said.

"Of course I want one! Since they are a pair I'll match with sis!" Ai quickly replied.

The two hairpins looked as if they were made to be put into these two beauties once they were place on Yuying and Ai's hair.

"We will start the bidding start the bidding at three hundred gold coins. Don't miss out on the chance to own demonic beast!" Chi Zhen said.

"Five hundred gold coins! If you know what's good for you don't you dare to bid against me." Zhen Chang yelled out.

Seeing this Chi Zhen of course was not happy. If no one bid, then the auction house would not make a profit and she would get into trouble.

"Five hundred and one gold coins."

"Son of a...." Jin Chang cursed in his mind.

"Hmph two thousand gold coins." Jin Cheng yelled out.

"Three thousand!" Jin Chang yelled.

Hearing this Jin Cheng became extremely mad.

"Of course not then you're Jin clan, but more than you of course." Zhang replied.

"Gahhhh!!!! Forty thousand gold coins!!" Jin Cheng yelled out.

Yuying and Ai beside Zhang also began laughing to the point that tears formed at the corner of their eyes.

Of course she was happy, the death worn at most was worth one or two thousand gold coins. But Zhang has made Jin Cheng but it with forty thousand gold coins.

"Shut up! Go back to my estate and bring more money! I have to wipe that smug look off that fuckers face." Jin Cheng barked

"But what! Go do as I say or I'll toss you in the dungeon!"

"How much more money do we have." Jin Cheng asked another guard

"Next up we have ten bottles of Phoenix blood. Each bottle will start at one thousand gold coins. Cultivation materials such as these don't come by very often and in such quantities so make sure to place your bids." Chi Zhen said.

"I'll take all ten bottles for two thousand coins each!" Zhang yelled out.

"Any other bidder? Since that young master wishes to buy all of the bottles of Phoenix blood we will now sell them as a set." Chi Zhen said.

"Going once, going twice, sold!"

With a wave of his hand the ten palm sized bottles disappeared into his interspatial ring.

There was even a fists worth of liquids mithril up for auction. But even that did not catch Zhang's attention. This was because Zhang knew a place that had an unbelievable quantity of it. Thanks to Xin Tao of course.

"The last item up for auction tonight is a rare treasure called Ruler's Dominion."
