Chapter 47 Chapter 47 It’s not me, it’s Cecil!
Lu Chengshuang could only hope that Fan Luode and Asesi didn't know the location of their box. He had a distressed look on his face and lost interest in the items in the auction brochure.
Even I don’t know when the two fish in Ikovalen will go out.
He was thinking about what to do if he ran into Asesi when he was leaving, or if Vanrod found out their box number during the auction and just made him angry. If Vanrod couldn't help himself and rushed over to lecture him, how would he make amends and fight back?
Just as I was imagining all this, the auction began.
The order of the auction items at the auction was not the same as that in the auction brochure. As the first auction item, Firth Auction House chose a very precious item in order to create an atmosphere and ignite the enthusiasm of the guests.
Lu Chengshuang stood by the window. There was a corresponding sound transmission magic circle engraved in the box. The voice of the auctioneer below the stage could be clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone in the box. It was a pity that the corresponding alchemy technology was not as developed as that of Blue Star, and the situation on the auction table could not be broadcast in real time in the box.
Large screens like the one in the Adventurer's Guild are not only expensive, but also have relatively limited functions. They cannot be updated and changed in real time and require manual operation. Therefore, they are not installed in the private rooms of the Forth Auction House because they would be useless even if they were installed.
However, people from the magic world, especially those who come to participate in the Firth Auction, all have good cultivation. Even without a sound-transmitting magic circle, those with good cultivation can still hear the voice of the auctioneer on the auction table. No matter how far away, it is not a big problem for these practitioners.
Lu Chengshuang stood by the window, looking at the items on the auction table and listening to the auctioneer's introduction.
The auctioneer on the stage was a human female, sexy and beautiful, even prettier than many elves. Her cultivation level was the same as Lu Chengshuang's, having reached level six, making her a level six warrior.
His voice was a little cold, and he was holding a small box in his hand, which contained a magic pill.
This is a level 8 magic pill. The effect of the magic pill is to increase the probability of a level 8 practitioner breaking through.
There are not many practitioners above level 8 in the Magic Continent, and after level 6, the difficulty of breaking through each level increases exponentially.
"Everyone knows that the next destination for the Son of Light's blessing is Kuer City, and the blessing will take place in eight days."
"Those who have received blessings in Lelis City and Duke City before must also know that when receiving blessings, there is a certain chance of breaking through the level barrier."
"Then while receiving the blessing, take this magic pill, and the success rate of the breakthrough will increase again."
Lu Chengshuang listened to the auctioneer's introduction on the stage. Why did he mention him? But even just this introduction was quite attractive. After hearing the end, only two words flashed through his mind: I want to buy it.
However, his magic level is only level six, so even if he bought it, he can't use it now.
"Cecil, is this magic pill effective? How about getting me a level six one to try?"
"Normally." Cecil knew Lu Chengshuang was being lazy again when he heard what he said. "You don't need this. Did you feel any obstacles when you broke through before?"
Lu Chengshuang thought about it and found that there was really no obstacle. Although his magic level was not increasing quickly, every time he broke through, his magic power accumulated to a certain amount, and he broke through naturally.
It’s just like playing a game. Once you accumulate a certain amount of experience, you will level up.
"Before reaching Saint level, these barriers for practitioners do not exist for Your Highness. You only need to practice slowly."
As for after reaching the Saint level, according to Lu Chengshuang's cultivation speed, his original body must have been awakened by then. How to help Lu Chengshuang improve his cultivation is also the original body's concern.
Lu Chengshuang seemed to understand, not quite sure why that barrier didn't exist in him. However, he had never been very active in cultivation. Before he became an adult, he would spend an hour every day on cultivation.
Ever since leaving Lailis City and having fun, even the one hour of training time every day has been compressed and discarded. At the current training speed, it will take several years to fill the experience bar of level six.
Ikovalen and Monfris, who had been listening to Lu Chengshuang and Cecil talking, could not control their envious expressions. It was the first time they heard that there were people practicing without barriers between levels.
Then becoming a Saint was simply a matter of time. Unlike them, who couldn't break through that barrier, no matter how much time they were given, they couldn't become a Saint.
He is indeed someone favored by the gods.
The auctioneer's introduction has ended and the guests in the auction hall have started bidding.
The currency used for bidding in the Firth Auction House is mainly Magic Crystal Coins. The initial bidding price of this magic pill is 3,000 Magic Crystal Coins, and each bidding must not be less than 1,000 Magic Crystal Coins. As the bidding begins, the bids are getting higher and higher.
Lu Chengshuang stood by the window, listening to the increasingly fierce bidding. It was difficult to refine the level 8 magic pill, and the corresponding refining materials were also very precious. In a short while, the price soared to 10,000 magic crystal coins.
There were many guests standing by the window watching like Lu Chengshuang.
"Eleven thousand magic crystal coins." The voice sounded familiar.
Lu Chengshuang lowered his head to look for the source of the sound, and it was the sound of a fish in the Ikovalen fish pond.
When did they go to the lobby downstairs? Lu Chengshuang looked at the box and only then realized that the only people left in the box were Ikowalen and the strongest fish in his pond.
If he remembered correctly, the two fish below were both at level eight, and this magic pill would be just as useful to them.
It’s a pity that such powerful people who have cultivated themselves through personal cultivation certainly cannot compare with the assets of other powerful people. In the end, the magic pill was bought away by someone in the top box for 50,000 purple gold coins.
The first lot was sold at a high price, which aroused the competitive spirit of the guests attending the auction.
Although the items auctioned later were not as precious as the eighth-level magic pill, they also fetched good prices.
Lu Chengshuang hadn't seen the item he wanted yet, and was just listening to other people bidding.
During this period, several rare and precious auction items were brought up, one of which was sold for 200,000 purple gold coins.
More than an hour passed quickly. Lu Chengshuang was already bored just watching others bidding. When he was thinking of taking out his game console to play for a while, the magic fruit that looked like lychees from the blue planet that he had wanted to eat before was taken out.
I dragged a chair and sat directly by the window, listening to the auctioneer's introduction.
Although the distance was a bit far, Lu Chengshuang still saw the magic fruit on the tray.
Although the magic fruit looks like a lychee, it is larger than a lychee and about the same size as an apple on Blue Star. However, there are only five of them on the large tray.
The starting price is the same as the price of the previous magic pill, 3,000 magic crystal coins.
"Want it?" Cecil stood behind Lu Chengshuang, looking at the eager expression on his face. "I'll help you take the photo."
"No, I'll do it myself." Lu Chengshuang hurriedly stopped him. Of course, it was more comfortable to call the price by himself. "Wait for your son to pay."
"Are you sure you want to bid?"
Because Cecil was standing behind Lu Chengshuang, Lu Chengshuang didn't see Cecil's slightly raised eyebrows and the look of being ready to watch a show, and he just nodded with certainty.
Even Cecil, the bright figure standing by, couldn't help but speak up when he heard Lu Chengshuang wanted him to bid: "Why don't you consider letting Cecil bid?"
Lu Chengshuang looked at Cecil and Cecil suspiciously, not knowing what the two were planning. However, Lu Chengshuang was bored and just wanted to participate in the auction for fun, so he rejected Cecil's proposal without thinking too much.
When the bidding price reached 15,000 purple gold coins, he called out his price.
Lu Chengshuang's voice carried the unfading clarity of youth, and as he called out the price, each word trailed off with a slight tremolo, imbued with the freshness and agility that only youth can possess. The final rising note betrayed his excitement.
The other guests who participated in the auction soon guessed from the voice that this was a young man who was brought by his elders to see the world, and from the attitude of not hesitating when making the offer, he was also a young man who was very much loved by his elders.
No matter what other people quote, this voice will quickly follow.
Soon, the other bidders gave up on this item, and Lu Chengshuang bought the five magic fruits for 30,000 purple gold coins.
After the auction ended, Cecil leaned against the wall, crossed his arms over his chest, and looked at Lu Chengshuang: "Was the auction fun?"
"It's fun." The happiness of rich people is so simple.
"Then you probably won't find it fun later."
Cecil looked as if he was in big trouble, then smiled at him gently.
Lu Chengshuang shuddered, feeling that Cecil's smile was somewhat malicious, but he couldn't understand the meaning in his eyes.
While I was still wondering if Cecil was going to do something bad, there was a knock on the box door.
Ikovalen, who had been playing the invisible man, walked forward and opened the door of the box. When he saw the person at the door, he quickly stood aside, continued to reduce his presence, and prepared to watch the show.
Lu Chengshuang looked at the person at the door, his face changed drastically, he quickly stood up and hid behind Cecil again. He explained why Cecil and Cecil repeatedly asked whether he should bid himself. It turned out that they were afraid of being discovered by Van Lord.
Fan Luode and his friends' box was on their left. When Lu Chengshuang shouted out the price, Fan Luode, who had watched Lu Chengshuang grow up, immediately recognized who the voice belonged to. He then listened to the source of the voice and found that it was next door.
It turned out that she was waiting for him here.
Vanrod looked at Lu Chengshuang hiding behind Cecil and wanted to sit down on a chair beside him in a threatening manner. However, thinking of Cecil's identity, he could only stand aside with a serious face. He took a deep breath and finally said earnestly: "Your Highness, in front of outsiders, we should pretend as much as possible."
Looking at Ikovalen and Monfris in the box, Vanrod just thought that they were brought by God from somewhere. The guards serving Lu Chengshuang and the others knew Lu Chengshuang's identity, so they spoke without any scruples.
Seeing that Fan Luode didn't seem to be trying to lecture him, Lu Chengshuang breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but retort, "Then you should have pretended not to know me at the auction entrance."
"I carry magical instruments with me, and no one knows who I am."
These two sentences directly angered Vanrod. The Son of God is the Son of God. Every time he speaks, he can accurately anger him.
He continued to remain calm and said, "Alright, I just came here to remind you that after the auction, you can go to Kuer City early and stop hanging around, especially in the Dark Church's territory."
Lu Chengshuang nodded obediently, just wanting to send Fan Luode away quickly.
Fortunately, Fan Luode didn't really want to preach. The gods were all here. It's just that compared to the gods treating Lu Chengshuang as an object, Fan Luode always treated Lu Chengshuang as his own child.
Every time I see Lu Chengshuang's eccentric look, I can't help but get angry. It's a pity that every time I want to preach, the gods get in the way.
He sighed inwardly and looked at his own Son of Light again. He must have been having a very happy time recently, with a rosy complexion. It seemed that Cecil took good care of him.
He felt relieved, thinking that out of sight, out of mind. Just as he was about to return to his box, the door of Lu Chengshuang's box was knocked again. He opened the door and saw Asesi standing at the door.
"You are the Son of Darkness!" Vanrod knew the Son of Darkness. The other party had come to Lu Chengshuang's coming-of-age ceremony, and he also attended the Son of Darkness's coming-of-age ceremony.
But why did the Son of Darkness suddenly come here? Looking at Asesi and Lu Chengshuang, it seemed that they knew each other.
It's been less than a month since I came out, how come I already know the Son of Darkness? This Son of Darkness is not a good person. What if he leads my own Son of Light astray?
"Your Holiness." Asesi greeted Vanrod.
He had just heard Lu Chengshuang's offer and was thinking of coming over to see her. He didn't know why, but he had thought that after not seeing her for a few days, his feelings for Lu Chengshuang would gradually fade, but in reality, the opposite was true. Not only did that inexplicable feeling not fade, but it grew deeper. The moment he saw Lu Chengshuang, all he wanted was to possess her.
He looked around the box and saw Lu Chengshuang hiding behind a stranger. He had never seen this person before, but the aura of this person seemed a little strange. On the contrary, Cecil, who was standing aside watching the show, always felt that something was wrong.
Why would Lu Chengshuang hide behind a stranger? Thinking of some things he heard some time ago, he had some guesses in his mind, but he was not sure.
Acesi decided to find something to confirm the identities of these two people: "Your Highness, I haven't seen you for a few days. I heard that you bought someone from the Phantom Fengyue Club."
Lu Chengshuang: “…” He looked at Fan Luode subconsciously with shock, and watched the expression on Fan Luode’s face change from shock to anger.
Assesi definitely did it on purpose.
Before Vanrod could speak, he pointed at Cecil and said quickly, "It wasn't me, Cecil bought it."
