The Six Immortals Chapter 140

Chapter 140 – The Auction

Once Bi Fan and others returned to their hotel, they found out that Luo Xiong and the others hadn’t returned yet; Luo Xiao Tian and Ling Xin Ya had gone off to meet some old friends.

Yan Yu Si said: “We should go to bed; it’s been a long day, and we’ll need to recharge our batteries for tomorrow.”

“Yes! Miss Yan Yu Si!”

Just as Jing Feng and the others were going off to take some rest, five more disciples returned.

Since everyone belonged to the same Sect, they naturally wanted to sit and chat for a while, and talk about their experiences, and encounters.

Many of the disciples were visiting the Jiu Yu City for the first time, and they were so excited that they even forgot that they were supposed to take some rest as well.

Later in the night, Jing Feng called everyone down to the hall again, since the inn’s management was serving tea. And they all continued to chat and laugh over tea.

“Oh, there you are, ah, we just heard some very surprising news outside, but we don’t know if it’s the truth or not.” Luo Sheng had been talking to Luo Xiang, but suddenly turned around to face Jing Feng.

Luo Sheng was quite unpopular within the Sect, and no one really cared about him, which is why everyone continued to concentrate on their tea.

“Jing Feng, I heard that you guys ran into some trouble, is that true?” Luo Sheng insisted on having his question answered.

Jing Feng replied: “I don’t know what kind of cynical rumors are spreading outside, Luo Sheng.”

“The word outside is that, Miss Yan Yu Si is bully, and she beat up some Wu Ji Sect disciples.” Luo Sheng said: “Jing Feng, were you there at the time?”

“What? Wu Ji Sect’s Nan Feng was insulting the Quinyang Sect, and Miss Yan Yu Si taught him a lesson. I don’t think she did anything wrong!… and well, now those guys are just distorting the facts.” Jing Feng replied in a cold voice.

Luo Xiong said: “I know that Miss Yan Yu Si wouldn’t act without reason. And I’m quite certain that Nan Feng from the Wu Ji Sect is just blaming her to occupy the righteous say, that’s very mean of him, ah…”

“Yes, I don’t know what I was thinking; Miss Yan Yu Si wouldn’t go around throwing her weight like that.” Luo Sheng agreed.

Since the topic was brought into light, everyone started gossiping and commenting.

Yan Yu Si was already frowning, almost as if she had something bothering her.

Luo Xiao Tian and Ling Xin Ya returned soon, and they weren’t looking very happy.

“Miss Yan Yu Si, are the rumors outside true?” Luo Xiao Tian asked with a cold look on his face.

“I don’t know what’s being spread outside, but the Wu Ji Sect disciples got a beating from me. They were insulting the Quinyang Sect, and I couldn’t stand it, which is why I taught them a lesson.” Yan Yu Si said lightly.

“Ah! These Wu Ji Sect people are so treacherous, they’ve even got the masses to blame us for that incident, and are trying to make the Quinyang Sect look bad in front of the city.” Ling Xin Ya said.

“Let’s not bother with them. Anyway, I was the one who attacked them, and I believe that even the Wu Ji Sect wouldn’t dare to cause me any trouble over such a trivial matter.” Yan Yu Si replied in an indifferent tone.

Luo Xiao Tian seemed rather angry: “I have repeatedly warned you, that if you go around stirring up trouble, then we will all eventually get into trouble here.”

If Yan Yu Si wasn’t the daughter of the Sect’s Master, then Luo Xiao Tian would have probably scolded her quite vigorously.

“We should all go and get some rest. Tomorrow, we must all attend the Heavenly Dragon Group’s auction.” Ling Xin Ya stated.

“Yes, let’s all take some rest.”

Soon, everyone scattered, and returned to their rooms.

As soon as Bi Fan stepped back into his room, he started practicing again.

Yan Yu Si had been involved in a brawl today, and Bi Fan had watched as she thrashed a group of Wu Ji Sect disciples, single-handedly.

Bi Fan could feel the gap between their strengths, and knew that it was very large one too, which is why he was even more motivated to practice now.

Now, Bi Fan’s focus of practice was primarily on the ‘Free’ Burst techniques, and the ‘Fire and Ice’ burst technique. He was finally able to practice the ‘Free’ burst technique, and was beginning to realize that the skill was very adaptable, and could be used with a wide range of skills.

The ‘Fire and Ice’ burst was a very sturdy skill as well, but was more suitable for the more strenuous and powerful attacks.

The ‘Free’ burst technique, on the other hand, was a firm and flexible technique, and had a wide range of benefits. (‘Free’ Burst technique is the one he learnt along with ‘the immortal finger’, and the ‘fire and ice’ burst was taught to him by Ling Xin Ya.)

The ‘Free’ burst technique could be used during the normal course of action, even in combat as well, and even though the restoration was gradual, continual practice would eventually pay dividends; after all, several drops combine to make an ocean.

The ‘Fire and Ice’ burst was a more aggressive restoration technique, but didn’t have the same flexibility as the ‘Free’ burst. If Bi Fan was somehow able to combine these two skills, then the benefits of this newly fused technique would be endless.

Bi Fan had already tasted the benefits of the power of the ‘Prancing tiger’ and the ‘Swimming Dragon’ skills, and these skills had enhanced his strength to a very large extent.

In order to enhance his strength as fast as possible, Bi Fan decided to practice throughout the night.

Moreover, Bi Fan had already started studying his skills more deeply, and had already started making some changes to them, since it would help him in increasing his strength very quickly.

‘The Immortal Finger’ was a very flexible skill, and could be used with a wide range of sword-play styles.

‘The Immortal Finger’ was also a very quick attack, and could even be used with a range of boxing styles.

Bi Fan had picked ‘The Immortal Finger’ to his first selection, and was trying to fuse it with the wide variety of skills, which he had acquired over time.

Bi Fan would pick one skill set, and would only discard it if it didn’t get along well with ‘The Immortal Finger’. If the said-skill did fuse with the ‘Immortal Finger’, then he’d continue to streamline and optimize the skill.

Bi Fan, at present, didn’t just know a wide range of skills, but had also acquired the knowledge and experiences that his processors in the martial world had acquired while creating their own skill sets. Bi Fan was using all this to try and make his own skill set, revolving around ‘The Immortal Finger’.

Bi Fan knew exactly what he was doing, and was focusing his attention on perfecting ‘The Immortal Finger’ attack, since with the increase in his energy over time, his strength would see a major upgrade due to this skill’s usage.

‘The Immortal Finger’, however, used up a lot of energy, which is why Bi Fan couldn’t use it very freely at the moment.

For the time being, Bi Fan was only planning on using ‘The Immortal Finger’ as a trump-card, since he couldn’t use it wishfully.

Once Bi Fan entered into the ‘Emerging from the Womb’ layer, he’d be able to use the attack a lot more freely, since he’d have his body’s Aura to support him.

Bi Fan was trying all angles to fuse the ‘Floating Sword’ with ‘The Immortal Finger’ attack.

But, each form of the ‘Floating Sword’ skill had a lot of changes when compared to previous version, which is why it was proving out to be a very difficult task.

“Bi Fan, are you ready?” Jing Feng called out loudly, from the outside.

“Just a minute.” Bi Fan ended his practice, and quickly freshened up a bit, and then went outside to join Jing Feng.

Everyone had gathered in the dining area, and the Inn’s management had prepared a sumptuous breakfast.

“Brother Bi Fan, what were you doing? You take more time to get ready than the girls do.” Jing Feng laughed.

Bi Fan said: “I overslept a bit, don’t exaggerate it now.”

Jing Feng and Bi Fan found themselves a table, and sat down for breakfast.

It wasn’t until the men had finished their breakfast, that the three women finally came down. Their makeup and dressing was more appropriate for a ball than an auction.

Luo Xiao Tian said: “Hurry up everyone, quickly eat your breakfast, we need to go.”

Once everyone was done, Luo Xiao Tian led the Quinyang Sect delegation out.

The Heavenly Dragon group’s store was located in the heart of the prime district of the Jiu Yu City.

The auction was being held in the lobby hall of the building, which was large enough to accommodate the thousands which had gathered to participate in the auction.

Even though the Quinyang Sect’s delegation arrived a little later than most, they were allowed to enter without any issues.

The Heavenly Dragon Group was the largest and the most powerful business group in the vicinity, and their auction hosted the largest selection in the city.

In order to make a quick fortune, the Heavenly Dragon group even procured a lot of Dan and Weapons from the surrounding towns.

With the Jiu Yu Hidden Dragon tournament coming up soon, their auction was likely to sell these commodities at a much higher price than the market rate.

A lot of youngsters would participate in the Jiu Yu Hidden Dragon List and the Jiu Yu Imperial List, and these disciples were often quite desperate to get a good ranking.

Dan and equipment were capable of enhancing the combat effectiveness of a martial artist, which is why they were very much in demand at this time.

Every time these tournaments were held, many such auctions were held across the Jiu Yu City. The martial artists who were participating in these tournaments would spend a lot of spar to buy these items, since they’d allow them to perform better, and win fame and glory for themselves and their Sects.
