Chapter Twelve: Sword Dance

  Seeing this woman's stunning beauty, many wealthy people were moved to action. Everyone could see that with a bit of grooming, she would be a ravishing beauty capable of toppling cities. As for her medical skills, everyone immediately chose to ignore them - what use are good medical skills anyway? Which doctor in the capital isn't mediocre? As for her shortcomings, having narrow pulse veins? It doesn't matter if you buy her back and don't let her practice medicine. A woman being introverted is just being a woman. However, one last point - she's a natural stone woman, which shattered most people's dreams. A stone woman? How could someone so beautiful be a stone woman? Nevertheless, some people still decided to purchase her. So what if she's a stone woman? Buying her back and taking a look is fine too. When comparing with others, you'll have a beautiful woman of your own as well.

  "Alright, now let's start the bidding. As usual, we'll begin with the lowest price. The base price is 1,000 yuan, and the starting bid is also 1,000 yuan. Let's begin!" the auctioneer shouted.

  "Five thousand taels!"

  "Eight thousand taels"

  Ten thousand taels

  15,000 taels

  "Thirty thousand taels"

  Thirty thousand people shouted out, and the lower part immediately quieted down a lot.

  "Thirty-five thousand taels!" another voice shouted.

  "Four thousand two" The voice shouted again before. Apparently it was suppressed by the previous sound.

  The scene quieted down, and for a flower vase that could be seen, the flowers went to 40,000 taels. The crowd felt it was already a sky-high price and naturally didn't want to pay more. Just as the auctioneer was about to confirm the buyer...

  "Wu Wan Er" the demon horn suddenly shouted.

  A child's voice shouted out, and the crowd below all looked at each other in surprise. It wasn't because of the childish tone, but simply because of the 50,000 taels involved. After all, it was not uncommon for some wealthy young masters to have their servants shout on their behalf.

  Yao Jiao shouted, and the Second Cangshan, Zi Huaiyu, and Sima Xiangru looked at Yao Jiao in surprise. The Second Cangshan wanted to dissuade him, but it was too late since he had already shouted. Meanwhile, Zi Huaiyu and Sima Xiangru were surprised whether Yao Jiao really had that much money.

  "The sound of '60,000 taels' rose again, apparently this woman was very fond of it, but the tone had already become less resolute than before."

  "Eighty thousand taels!" The demon horn shouted. This was already the bottom line for the demon horn, and any more would be too expensive.

  This time, 80,000 taels, compared to the previous 40,000 taels, is a full double, leaving the crowd below in awe. For a vase, 80,000 taels were spent? The voice that had previously called out a price also fell silent and no longer shouted.

  "Good, this treasure of the ages now belongs to the Gold Master of Pavilion Twelve." The host smiled.

  "Do you have so much money?" Di Er Cang Shan asked Yao Jiao.

  "Just enough eighty thousand, any more would be too much" said the demon king with a smile as he took out eighty thousand taels.

  "What did you buy this vase for? Eighty thousand taels!" Sima Xiangru also said in surprise.

  "I'm looking for a powerful doctor to join the Cangyun Medicine Shop, someone who can take charge of healing in all major sects and has top-notch medical skills," said Yaojiao with a smile.

  "Huh?" The three of them looked at Yaoguo in a strange way.

  "Never mind, once it's decided, it can't be changed. I hope you won't regret it," said the Second Master of Cangshan, shaking his head.

  "How do I get it?" asked the demon king.

  "The auction is over, someone will come to guide you," said the Second Cangshan.

  "En", the demon nodded and continued to look at the auction below.

  "Next, we have the divine soldier. This sword is the 'Cool Sword' that was once used by the left elder of the Beisword Gate. It can cut hair and fur with a single blow, truly a fine sword. I'm sure you've all heard of it before, so I won't say more. The bidding starts at 1,000 taels, with a minimum price of 1,000 taels," said the auctioneer.

  "Ten thousand taels"

  "Thirty thousand taels"

  ………

  "900,000 taels"

  Finally traded at 90,000 yuan, still the divine arm is more popular, everyone easily called out 90,000 yuan.

  At this time, the demon horn was staring at the sword with a mouthful of saliva. Is this sword so expensive? Does the left elder take out gold every time he goes out to fight? Using gold to knock people unconscious, from now on, go out and specialize in robbing swords.

  The second sword was also a long sword, and it was finally sold for 950,000 taels.

  "The three secret books, the first one is 'Cang Jian Jue' of the Earth List Martial Arts. The second one is 'Luo Ye Jian Fa' of the Earth List Martial Arts. The third one is 'Bing Feng Jian Fa' of the Earth List Martial Arts." The host explained.

  "Bixian Gate, isn't it that every generation of gatekeepers has a set of top-notch martial arts? Why don't you have any?" A voice called out from below.

  "The Heavenly List of Martial Arts? Haha, the Bi Jian Men indeed exists, but the three major sects didn't auction off the Da Zhou Auction House to me, what can I do? However, all three sets of sword techniques have already made it onto the Earthly List, which is not bad. Everyone, let's start bidding! Starting with the first book, 'Hidden Sword Technique', the base price is 1,000 taels, and each bid must be at least 1,000 taels." The auctioneer smiled.

  Finally, the three secret books were all sold for 200,000 taels of silver each.

  With this, a large-scale auction has come to an end.

  "Several, this way please." At this time, a staff member suddenly walked over.

  "Let's go," said the Second Brother of Mount Cyanwood.

  Then, the four of them followed the staff member and made their way to a room. Inside the room were some middle-aged women doing chores, as well as an official with a sullen expression. Next to him was the prison cell that had been on display earlier.

  "The Fifth Prince, Second Young Master, Sima Young Master, and this demon-horned young master, are the daughter of the head of the Beijian Gate." The official said respectfully.

  "What's your name?" asked the demon king.

  "As for the goods for sale, their names are decided by their owners. Are you buying?" The official asked in confusion.

  At this time, the demon king took out 80,000 taels of silver and handed them over to the official. The official immediately accepted it and looked at the eleven-year-old demon king with some surprise.

  "What was it called originally?" asked the demon king.

  "Jian Wu, I am Jian Wu." The woman in the cage looked at the demon horns and said with some sadness, seeing that it was not the fat-headed and big-eared rich man she had imagined.

  "Alright, from now on, you'll follow me and be my maid. In the future, if I have the ability, I will properly help you get some justice for your Bi Jian Men." Yao Jiao said seriously.

  Upon hearing the promise of the demon king, a glimmer appeared in the eyes of the sword dancer. Although he thought it was unlikely, for some reason, at this moment, he deeply believed it. Perhaps having been disappointed too many times, seeing even just a thread of dawn's light brought about an instantaneous transformation into immense hope.

  "Yes, master," Sword Dance said respectfully on horseback.

  "Alright, let her out." The demoness said to the official who had accepted the bribe.

  "Are you going to let him out now? Don't send him to your mansion again?" The official asked in puzzlement.

  "I say let her out now," said the demon king with a frown.

  "Alright," said the official, and the woman servant beside him immediately took out a key, opened the cage door, and let the disheveled sword dancer slowly walk out.

  "Thank you, Master," Sword Dance said emotionally to Yao Jiao.

  "Alright, since you're already my servant, call me Master then," said Yao Jiao.

  "Yes, sir," said Jianwu respectfully.

  At this time, the second Cangshan, Sima Xiangru and the things of Zihuiyu also arrived, paid the money, and everyone left.

  "Just call me old master then, haha" Zi Huaiyu said with a smile, mimicking the tone of the demon king.

  "Haha" The Second Mount Hua and Sima Xiangru also walked while laughing.
