- Chapter 204: 205 Selling Female Cultivator’s Inner Armor
Hiss!
Gu Ling took a sharp intake of cold breath. The celebrity effect, this tactic is pretty deep.
A piece of a female cultivators inner armor might not mean much, but if it belonged to a renowned beauty like Su Meier who was famous across the Mainland, then it would be completely different. Placing her inner armor up for auction could indeed attract a large number of cultivators.
May I ask how you intend to prove that this is indeed Su Meiers inner armor, young master? Without solid proof, Im afraid the cultivators of the world wont be convinced, Gu Ling said.
I once saved Su Meier, and to thank me for saving her life, she gave me all her possessions from her space ring. This inner armor was among the clothes stored in the space ring, and I can guarantee 100% that it is Su Meiers.
As for the proof, theres no need for an elaborate explanation. Treasure Pavilion, being the most authoritative auction house, simply needs to release the news, and nobody will question it.
Li Xiaobai said with a smile.
Gu Ling looked hesitant. Naturally, he wished for the guests at Treasure Pavilion to be packed to the brim. The more people came, the more they would earn, and the larger their business could grow. However, this operation of auctioning a womans inner armor seemed somewhat out of line with ethics and principles. If they really went through with it, they could lose all their face.
Young master, auctioning off a female cultivators inner armor is ultimately detrimental to public morals. Its not appropriate, he said.
Old Gu, theres nothing inappropriate about it. Dont you want the number of cultivators coming to Treasure Pavilion to be overflowing? Just do as I say and the foot traffic will surely double at the very least!
Li Xiaobai said confidently. He could tell that Gu Ling, like Elder Tianji, was wholly focused on developing his business.
Old Gu, just look at the Immortal Spirit Daily. In a mere one or two months, its sales have towered over the entire Mainland. And this is just because I occasionally publish a few articles to stir up interest. My sensitivity to the market is absolutely top-notch. Please trust me, Li Xiaobai continued.
Gu Ling pondered. He knew about the Immortal Spirit Daily; in the past, he had thoughts of surpassing it. But this month, he had completely given up on such ideas.
The reason was simple; the newspaper had grown too quickly. The content quality of recent issues was incomparable to the past. For some reason, whenever he saw the headlines, his eyes were glued, and he felt an instant urge to read it straight away.
He hadnt expected that this was all thanks to Li Xiaobai. If he could make Treasure Pavilion as prominent in sales as the Immortal Spirit Daily on the Mainland, then it would be worth it even if it meant losing some face.
Fine, I trust you. Su Meiers inner armor will be one of the highlights of this auction. The auctions proceeds will be split fifty-fifty. How about that? Gu Ling bit his lip and nodded in agreement.
No problem, just as Old Gu says. I am now a member of Immortal Spirit Daily, and I will help promote it on there, Li Xiaobai said, his mood lightened. He had a premonition that the price of this inner armor could reach an unprecedented high.
Gu Ling left, taking away all of Li Xiaobais remaining possessions. By preliminary estimates, these items were worth over ten million top-grade spirit stones. Whether they could sell for supreme-grade spirit stones would depend on the bids from customers at the auction.
Supreme-grade spirit stones were extremely precious; the auction would not obligate bidding with them. Only if customers offered supreme-grade spirit stones in their bids would it be possible to earn them.
Despite the preciousness of supreme-grade spirit stones, if a wealthy patron appeared, they wouldnt be stingy.
After sending Gu Ling off, Li Xiaobai checked his attribute panel. At the bottom, a new line of text had appeared.
[Host: Li Xiaobai.]
[]
[Defensive Power: Flesh Saint (260000/1000000) upgradeable.]
[Attribute Points: 0.]
[Marketplace: Opened.]
[Achievements: Trouble Maker (8/108).]
[Blood Sacrifice Fragment: 3.]
Right within the Treasure Pavilion, there are three fragments, which means thirty thousand Attribute Points. These should also be auction items within the Treasure Pavilion, and I should be able to see them in a few days. feweboel.o
To be honest, at this point, thirty thousand Attribute Points are but a drop in the bucket. However, the ongoing achievement is very tempting. Any achievement that can cause such a fuss is bound to have a substantial reward.
Li Xiaobai casually took out a copy of the Immortal Spirit Daily and summoned Elder Tianjis Primordial Spirit clone.
Young Master Li, is there big news again?
Elder Tianji, with compassionate eyes and a beaming smile, stands before me, his very own living wealth god.
Indeed, reserve the front-page headline for me tomorrow.
No problem.
Now that Im a member, my statements can be published on the front-page headline. Elder Tianji knows I wouldnt announce any trivial matter, so he agrees without hesitation.
Li Xiaobai pondered for a moment and then penned an article effortlessly.
[Shock, one of the Treasure Pavilions finale treasures revealed in Tianfeng City, Central Province: Hehuan Sects saintess Su Meiers personal Inner Armor is up for grabs. Friends who wish to purchase, prepare your Spirit Stones for the auction!]
Su Meiers name is loud enough already, a prodigy in the top ten of the fame ranking and the saintess of the Hehuan Sect. Moreover, her name is particularly hot recently due to the ruckus with Monk Liaowang in the Western Desert.
Currently, the outside world is filled with incessant rumors and gossip about her and Monk Liaowang, brimming with intrigue.
At a time like this, the star effect should ensure her Inner Armors popularity.
In order to keep the topic trending and prevent any accidents, Li Xiaobai quickly drafts another article.
[Inside the Tianbei Secret Realm, lets recount Su Meiers and Monk Liaowangs unknown tales!]
By stirring up the rhythm, the auction will surely be a windfall. Inner Armor satisfies spiritual needs rather than practical purposes. As for the price, the skys the limit, depending entirely on the buyers willingness.
These next two days, Ill scope out the heavyweights coming to the auction within the city, and then continue to stoke the flames with a few more articles in the Immortal Spirit Daily to incite their competitive nature. When the bidding begins, they wont hold back.
The next morning.
Li Xiaobai, accompanied by Ji Wuqing, set off for Central City. Every city in Central Province has Teleportation Formations, shaving off a considerable amount of travel time.
Yesterday, I made an appointment with the Xingtian Sects junior Sect Master, Xing Mohan, to duel on the platform today. I must arrive before noon.
Central City is the heart of Central Province, the most affluent place, where the three Great Sects have been established, with impeccable order.
Li Xiaobai stepped onto the Teleportation Formation, as the light swirled and he vanished in an instant from Tianfeng City.
Giggle, geniuses of Central Province, I am here to conquer you!
Ji Wuqing seemed very excited.
The teleportation was brief, lasting just a few breaths. After the light dissipated, the scenery before my eyes changed, and I entered Central City.
Li Xiaobai stepped out of the Teleportation Formation at a measured pace, Lets go, to the dueling platform!
