The Transcendent Immortal Chapter 240 The Auction

After about half an hour, almost all the guests had arrived. The entrance to the hall was closed, and no one was allowed to enter. As the ritual music rang, everyone began to talk and guess what the final treasure would be.

The background curtain was slowly unveiled as a graceful figure slowly walked to the middle of the high platform. It was Chu Meng, and several waiters followed. The crowd below immediately stopped talking and then burst into a loud cheer.

"Miss Chu Meng! Miss Chu Meng!"

"Oh! Miss Chu Meng, you are so beautiful. Please allow me to present the highest praise on behalf of the Lord!"

"Oh! I pray to the Lord. Please, the noble and beautiful Lord. Oh no, the noble and beautiful Miss Chu Meng, please marry me..."

Chu Meng smiled and nodded to the people below. Xiao Chen smiled gently. These people acted too exaggeratedly. Were they here to buy things or to look at the beauty? But Chu Meng did have an enchanting charm which contained some fairy aura and attractiveness. She was really a rare beauty in this world.

Chu Meng naturally saw him and nodded to him with a smile. Xiao Chen naturally nodded and smiled in return.

Not far away, Chu Xuan was so angry that he gnashed his teeth. Why Chu Meng did not look at him? Why did she look so familiar with this guy? Why? He was the second prince of Xiyue State!

The old man on the side pressed the back of his hand and shook the head gently, indicating that Chu Xuan should calm down.

When the crowd became quieter, Chu Meng raised her hands and smiled. "Thank you all for coming to our Immortals Conference this time. The rules are the same, and now the conference begins."

As her voice fell, there was another wave of cheers. The two waiters stepped forward and opened the brocade box in their hands. Rows of white radiance shone around as a cold aura filled the place.

"As you can see, this is a piece of Saussurea Involucrata picked by a marvelous person who climbed thousands of miles on a mountain. You should know the effect of it. It is not only the necessary thing for refining the Face-ceasing Pill but also very good for cultivators to clear the heart and calm down..."

With the dreamlike voice of Chu Meng echoing in the hall, many people looked at the stage blankly. The white radiance from the Saussurea Involucrata and her was a perfect match just like a beautiful dream as if she was the lightly blooming snow lotus.

Many young people started to daydream, imagining that they are an immortal dressed in white who had successfully survived the Ordeal. Standing on the top of Kunlun Mountain, he gently picked the snow lotus which was swaying in the wind and snow. The pitiful and emotional eyes looked as if there was an undone marriage from the last life...

"3,000 Spirit Stones!" A young man finally couldn't help but shout out, and the elder next to him immediately glared at him. Good for nothing!

Chu Meng smiled, and her manner was nothing but charming. She gently smiled and said, "This gentleman, don't hush. I have not yet made a minimum bid yet. This snow lotus has a minimum bid of 1,000 Spirit Stones. Each bid must be no less than one hundred. Now the bidding starts."

The "one thousand Spirit Stones" here meant one thousand Rank One Spirit Stones. The auction house used Rank One Spirit Stone as the unit. A thousand Spirit Stones was equivalent to one Rank Four Spirit Stone, or ten thousand teals.

"One thousand and five hundred!"

"Two thousand!"

"Three thousand!"

The atmosphere soon rose up. Everyone knew that the good things would come later, and there were many people who came for the last few final treasures. But the auction was hosted by Chu Meng, so it could not have an awkward silence. The reason why people had this kind of enthusiasm was mostly because young masters from big families liked Chu Meng.

When the price reached more than 7,000, the voice slowly became lower. Although many people wanted to attract the attention of Chu Meng, such a snow lotus worth about 5,000 Spirit Stones at most. They had to save some money to pay for the good treasures later.

When the bidding price reached 8,000, no one bade again. At this time, a faint smiled sounded. "10,000."

The voice came from the second floor. Everyone looked over. Some people immediately recognized that the bidder was the second prince of Xiyue State. No one bade again.

"Ten thousand once!"

"Ten thousand twice!"

"Ten thousand thrice!"

Chu Meng smiled gently. "Congratulations to Master Chu Xuan. This treasure is sold to you."

Chu Xuan smiled and raised his hands sideways, meaning that it was not worth mentioning. He said, "This snow lotus is good. I can just take it back for my mother to take care of her skin."

Chu Meng nodded and smiled, indicating the waiter behind her to send the snow lotus to the second prince. Chu Xuan was shocked. He paid 10,000 to take care of her this much, yet she did not personally send it to him.

Xiao Chen smiled gently, and his eyes fell on the black-robed man on the first floor. Everyone was bidding or talking to each other just now. But this person did not move at all as if he was alone in a space. He ignored the noise around and didn't even look at the snow lotus. He didn't even take a look at Chu Meng.

In the following time, there were several products sold. Almost every time at the end of one bid, Chu Xuan gave a "high price". It seemed that he wanted to announce to everyone that he was the star in this place.

Most people stopped bidding after he bade. They didn't want to offend this person in the first place. Secondly, Xiyue State was big and strong, and they were indeed not as rich. Why bother bidding and offending the second prince? If things went south, they might suffer troubles once they walked out of the Immortals Building.

After several bids, no matter how useful the product was, Chu Xuan bought it. He did this to tell everyone in the hall that Xiyue State was rich and could spend money at will. Secondly, he wanted to attract the attention of Chu Meng.

However, it seemed that the purpose of the former had been achieved. The latter did not go as he expected. Chu Meng just smiled at him and did not look at him at other times. This made him slightly annoyed. He was a prince, and she was just an auctioneer who was not qualified to act lofty in front of him.

He secretly made up his mind that he would have to let this woman serve him, whatever it would take. Every time the old man beside him perceived this kind of eyes, the old man would always slightly glare at him, as if warning him.

After about an hour, the auction was getting more and more intense. The old man kept stopping him from bidding, and the things were getting more and more expensive, so Chu Xuan did not buy everything.

During the period, Xiao Chen always paid attention to the mysterious black-robed man. It seemed that he was sitting there like a dead man, and was not interested in anything. This person should come for the last few final treasures.

This time, there was a purple crystal pendant with an ancient aura. When the brocade box opened, almost everyone felt a fairy's aura from the box. This pendant looked ordinary, but it was definitely not something ordinary. The noisy hall became quiet at once.

At the same time, Xiao Chen also noticed the subtle changes on the face of Murong Xian'er. She looked at the pendant blankly and seemed to be very interested in this.

"As you can see, this pendant was collected by a wondrous man accidentally from the remains of an ancient fairy many years ago. As confirmed by our appraisers, this pendant is refined by the ancient fairy's entire spirit energy. It contained rich spirit energy which could not be extracted. But this pendant has another effect, which is to protect a cultivator's spirit energy from dissipating out..."

Before Chu Meng finished, Murong Xian'er pointed at the pendant and shouted, "That one! Brother Xiao Chen! I want that one!"

Everyone was attracted by this sudden sound. Looking at the second floor, many young people couldn't help but be touched. Gosh, didn't expect there was such a beautiful girl full of a fairy's aura. This purple crystal pendant seemed to appear for her only.

Xiao Chen naturally understood what was going on. Xian'er was very likely to be the formation spirit transformed by the greatest formation in Archean Eon, the Three Emperors Grand Formation. Her spirit energy would slowly dissipate over time and could not be charged in any way. In the end, her spirit energy would be completely consumed, and she would return to the formation, waiting for another millennium to wake up again.

Maybe she still did not know about these things, but Xiao Chen suddenly felt sorrow in his heart. She would have to leave one day, and this pendant could slow down the loss of her spiritual energy. So, this pendant was a priceless treasure to her. No matter what, he had to buy that pendant today, even if he would give up the last few treasures.

At the moment, he smiled lightly and stroked the hair of Murong Xian'er, saying softly, "Okay."

Chu Meng smiled and nodded at him, saying, "The minimum bid is five thousand Spirit Stones, and each bid must not be less than one thousand. Starts from now."

Xiao Chen was about to raise the board to bid when a casual voice sounded not far from the left. "Fifty thousand. I'll take this purple crystal pendant."
