Chapter 28

As the head of the Yi Bao Pavilion's appraisal hall, the middle-aged man had appraised countless treasures, and naturally, he had handled works by array masters several times. At a glance, he recognized that what Lin Tian provided was a special fusion martial pattern scroll made by an array master, which was very precious.

Lin Tian nodded slightly and a voice came from under the black robe: "Yes."

The middle-aged man was startled again. From the voice, it seemed that the person under the black robe was a young boy?

"May I ask, what level of fusion martial pattern scroll is this?"

The middle-aged man asked carefully.

Although surprised by the youth under the black robe, the middle-aged man's attitude became even more respectful.

"Intermediate level body cultivation martial technique."

Lin Tian said.

"You are planning to..."

"Auction, all three together."

A voice came from under the hood.

The middle-aged man's expression changed slightly. He had handled intermediate level body cultivation martial technique fusion martial pattern scrolls before, but three at once was a first.

He bowed slightly and said, "Could you please wait a moment? Because your item is very precious and there are three of them, I need to consult with the steward."

"No problem." Lin Tian said.

The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly, served Lin Tian a pot of high-quality clear tea, and then hurriedly left.

Lin Tian sat quietly on the chair, only now did he glance around the small room. He found that the room was quite grand, and there were many other items in the small room, seemingly waiting for appraisal.

Creak!

Soon, the door of the appraisal hall was pushed open, and the middle-aged man returned, accompanied by an old man in a purple robe. This old man had white hair and beard, but his face was very ruddy. Most notably, there was a strange pattern embroidered on his chest, and below it were two golden stripes, making him look quite special.

"Hello, this is our Yi Bao Pavilion's chief steward, Mr. Pushi. Mr. Pushi is not only a divine pulse realm expert but also a powerful array master."

The middle-aged man introduced with a bow.

Under the black robe, Lin Tian was slightly moved. Not only was he a divine pulse realm expert, but also an array master, truly a formidable person. He thought for a moment, and realized that for the Yi Bao Pavilion to have such a person, its background must indeed be complex. It seemed that the rumor of a mysterious large family supporting the Yi Bao Pavilion was probably true.

Pushi gave a curious look at the black-robed Lin Tian. He had already heard from the middle-aged man that the person under the black robe was a young boy. A young boy could bring out three intermediate level body cultivation martial technique fusion martial pattern scrolls for auction, which was indeed surprising. After all, most array masters were over thirty years old.

Walking to the table in front, Pushi picked up one of the scrolls.

After a few breaths, Pushi nodded slightly. This was indeed an intermediate level body cultivation martial technique fusion martial pattern scroll.

"Can I open it?"

Pushi asked.

"Yes."

Lin Tian nodded.

Pushi unrolled one of the scrolls, and immediately saw a dragon and phoenix dancing array pattern. His eyes lit up. With his years of experience as an array master, this array pattern was definitely not something a regular array master could draw. The lines of the runes seemed to be the work of a master who had drawn hundreds or thousands of fusion martial pattern scrolls!

Taking a deep breath, Pushi spread his right hand over the array pattern. As a faint light flickered, Pushi trembled slightly after a while. When he looked at Lin Tian again, Pushi's face showed an unhidden surprise: "Indeed, young heroes emerge. This is the strongest intermediate level body cultivation fusion martial pattern I have ever seen in my life!"

"Little brother, are you really going to auction all of them?"

Pushi asked seriously.

These three fusion martial pattern scrolls were not simple and were of extremely high value.

Lin Tian nodded: "Of course, can you arrange the fastest time for me? I have important matters."

"Of course, there is an auction going on right now." A glint of excitement flashed in Pushi's eyes. If these three fusion martial pattern scrolls were successfully auctioned, the Yi Bao Pavilion would earn a substantial amount of money just from the commission. He looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Take this young brother to the VIP room, I will personally deliver the scrolls to the auction!"

"Yes, Mr. Pushi!" The middle-aged man nodded, then stepped aside, extended his hand, and his expression became even more respectful: "Young brother, this way, please."

Lin Tian nodded and walked out.

In the small room of the appraisal hall, Pushi watched Lin Tian's retreating back, his eyes flashing with excitement: "From the voice, the person under the black robe is no more than sixteen years old. A sixteen-year-old array master, and his skill is even slightly better than mine. When did Fengjian City produce such a prodigy?"

Shaking his head, Pushi carefully put away the three fusion martial pattern scrolls and quickly walked to the auction.

...

Under the guidance of the middle-aged man, Lin Tian entered a small wooden pavilion in the auction house. The interior of the wooden pavilion was luxuriously decorated, yet it felt warm and cozy, giving a very comfortable feeling. This small wooden pavilion was the VIP area of the auction house, exclusively for important guests, with only one person allowed in each pavilion.

The wooden pavilion was very quiet, and from where he stood, Lin Tian could clearly see the entire auction house. The auction house was large, capable of accommodating hundreds of people. At the front of the auction house, on a jade platform, a red-robed woman with a seductive figure was introducing an item to the audience with a voice that made people shudder.

The woman was about eighteen years old, wearing a red robe that clung to her body. Below her long, smooth neck, her chest was like white jade, half-covered and half-exposed. Her slender waist was barely a hand's width, and her long, well-proportioned legs were exposed in the air, exuding a fatal primitive allure.

As the woman's voice rang out repeatedly, Lin Tian noticed that an item that was not particularly valuable was being sold for an unimaginably high price.

"It seems that beauty is always effective, no matter where it is."

Lin Tian muttered to himself.

Looking at the seductive woman at the front of the auction house, Lin Tian had to admit that she was indeed a beauty of the highest level, fully embodying charm and allure.

He finally understood why, despite the Yi Bao Pavilion taking a 30% commission, countless people were still willing to cooperate with it. With such a beauty hosting the auction, the prices of treasures would inevitably be raised by the important guests time and again. In the end, although the 30% commission seemed high, the actual price of the treasures would be raised significantly, and the sellers would not lose out.

"Interesting."

Lin Tian sat in the wooden pavilion, watching quietly.

Soon, half an hour passed, and several more treasures were auctioned off, all at high prices. At this moment, the red-robed woman at the front of the auction house smiled seductively and mysteriously, saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, just now, the appraisal hall received three rare treasures. I believe you will be interested."

The woman clapped her hands lightly, and a receptionist walked out from behind the curtain on one side of the jade platform. The receptionist held a wooden tray in both hands, on which were three scrolls.

Seeing this, Lin Tian was immediately startled. These were his items!

"Miss Xing Yao, what are these?"

Many people showed signs of doubt.

The red-robed woman was named Xing Yao. She took one of the scrolls from the tray, smiled seductively, and said, "These are intermediate level body cultivation fusion martial pattern scrolls, created by a mysterious and powerful array master. They were personally appraised and delivered by our auction house's chief steward, Mr. Pushi. I don't need to say more, do I?"

Wow!

As Xing Yao's words fell, the entire auction house was in an uproar.

"What! Intermediate level body cultivation fusion martial pattern scrolls!"

"Mr. Pushi personally appraised them? Personally delivered them?"

"This..."

In an instant, the entire auction house was in a frenzy.

People who frequently visited the auction house were not of low status and naturally knew the precious value of fusion martial pattern scrolls. More importantly, they were well aware of Pushi's power, being both a divine pulse realm expert and an array master. Even the heads of the major families in Fengjian City would be wary of him. For Pushi to personally appraise and deliver these fusion martial pattern scrolls, they were clearly extraordinary, indeed rare treasures.

"After Mr. Pushi's appraisal, these three intermediate level body cultivation fusion martial pattern scrolls are all very powerful. Once activated, even in the hands of an ordinary person, the martial technique power they display can easily kill a fifth-level body cultivation realm expert, and even severely injure a sixth-level body cultivation realm expert!"

Xing Yao said.

Such words immediately caused another uproar.

Looking at the crowd, Xing Yao smiled seductively and continued, "All of you here are wealthy, but few of you practice martial arts. Of course, it's not that you can't practice, but rather that you are too busy to find the time."

"You often transport valuable goods, ranging from tens of thousands to millions of spirit coins. Imagine if you encounter bandits during transportation. It would not be good, right? But if you have such a fusion martial pattern scroll in hand, you can handle ordinary bandits with ease."

"Of course, Xing Yao believes that all of you are blessed and will not encounter bandits. However, aside from that, having such a fusion martial pattern scroll means that even an ordinary person can face a powerful sixth-level body cultivation realm expert without fear. Moreover, as long as it is not used, it can be passed down indefinitely."

Xing Yao's words caused a moment of silence, followed by even more excitement.

"Miss Xing Yao is right!"

"These three fusion martial pattern scrolls, I, Jia, will take them!"

"They are mine!"

Shouts of determination echoed.

In the small wooden pavilion, Lin Tian was moved and looked at the red-robed woman on the jade platform with some surprise. It seemed that this woman was not just a simple beauty. Her words were very skillful, neither offending the wealthy merchants who did not practice martial arts nor failing to perfectly explain the effectiveness of the fusion martial pattern scrolls. Truly impressive!

"This woman is not simple."

Lin Tian thought to himself.

At the front of the auction house, Xing Yao smiled at the crowd and said, "Then, the auction begins. Since these three fusion martial pattern scrolls are from the same array master and have equal value, to avoid unnecessary disputes, we have decided to auction them together. The starting price is ten thousand spirit coins!"
