Let Gu Sheng once again witness this person’s financial prowess.
"I wonder what kind of background this person has..." Gu Sheng thought to himself.
This Golden Body Skill, priced at thirteen hundred taels, seems a bit inflated. The cultivation insights included to reach the Great Achievement Realm make its price skyrocket, possibly doubling. Without those insights, Gu Sheng estimates the selling price should be four to five hundred taels of silver.
The absence of cultivation insights means a significantly increased trial-and-error cost for the buyer’s organization.
Generally speaking, individual martial artists seldom purchase body refinement martial arts; these are usually bought by organizations to enhance their foundations.
Gu Sheng felt a bit regretful as he watched the Golden Body Skill being sent to the private booth of the burly man with the horse face.
He took a deep breath, steadying his mood.
The disappointment of missing the first auction item that was suitable for him stirred some emotions, but that man exuded an extraordinary aura and had numerous attendants by his side—clearly not someone easy to deal with. Gu Sheng didn’t even entertain the thought of tailing him for an ambush afterward.
He might as well admit he doesn’t want a death wish.
Now, the auction had more than half progressed, and Lu Luo suddenly revealed a mysterious smile, covering her mouth as she giggled to the guests:
"Honorable guests, Lu Luo has just received news—the finale item of this auction is indeed a treasure! Please stay tuned, everyone~"
The guests’ eyes immediately lit up with intense interest. Anything deemed a treasure by Lu Luo was certainly no ordinary item.
This was also the tradition of the auction—the finale item always carried astonishing value to continually attract attendees.
Gu Sheng’s heart stirred. He vaguely noticed that a few of the people he had been observing showed eager expressions, as if they already knew what the finale item was, quietly waiting.
The auction continued.
After the small climax of the Golden Body Skill, the following items were of slightly lesser value.
Gu Sheng felt somewhat disappointed.
He thought that he might leave the auction empty-handed this time. Perhaps he could go to the first floor afterward to see if he could exchange for a suitable body refinement martial art.
Then.
Lu Luo appeared again, holding a manual in her hands, smiling at the crowd. Her crisp voice reverberated across the room:
"Third-rate body refinement martial art: Flying Thunder Leg! Primarily trains the lower limbs. If mastered to an advanced realm, one can sprint like lightning, gaining an edge whether in pursuit or escape. Don’t miss your chance~"
"Starting bid: one hundred and fifty taels!"
Gu Sheng’s eyes instantly lit up with a trace of joy. Lu Luo hadn’t deliberately emphasized anything about this Flying Thunder Leg, which meant it didn’t include cultivation insights, so the competition wouldn’t be as intense.
Indeed.
Even though its starting price was only a third of the Golden Body Skill, not many were interested.
"One hundred and eighty taels!"
