Chapter 2948: Creek King
The appearance of a progenitor stole everyone’s attention . They clamored in excitement and looked up at the bright palace .
The gate was still closed but one thing was certain - a progenitor was inside .
“Which progenitor?” Most felt that it was either Luminous Master or Orchid Sage .
“It is probably Luminous Master . ” One cultivator predicted: “He came to Uncrossable Expanse a while ago and is probably here now . ”
“Not necessarily . ” An older cultivator disagreed: “I got news from a reliable source that Orchid Sage is on a journey right now around the world . His whereabouts remained unknown but there is a big chance that this grand auction might tempt him to come . ”
Everyone became curious and speculated the identity of this progenitor . However, Arrogance Enterprise didn’t leak anything on their side .
“Creak . ” The gate suddenly opened and out came two maids . Their appearance brightened the area because of their kingdom-toppling beauty despite only being maids - far prettier compared to some saintesses and princesses .
“It’s Luminous Master!” A hawk-eyed cultivator from the last generation shouted after seeing the two insignia to the left of their chest .
“Is he here right now?” The crowd exploded .
Seeing Luminous Master in person would make this trip totally worth it even if they didn’t get a single item . The entry ticket was definitely justified .
Next came the lifting of the white curtains on top of the gate . The curtains was embroidered with an elegant-looking spring . Its aura actually manifested into reality .
“Is it you, Sister?” Flying Sword Marvel stood up and bowed after seeing this .
“It’s Creek King, not Luminous Master . ” People exchanged glances .
“Rise, Sister . ” A very pleasant yet imposing voice came from inside the palace . There seemed to be a peerless empress sitting inside: “I am not here in person, occupied with other businesses, so no need for formalities . ”
One could imagine her noble characteristics just from listening to her stately voice .
“Just a mirror image, not even an avatar . ” Some became disappointed .
In the beginning, they thought that Luminous Master was here . Now, not even Creek King was present .
“It makes sense though . Creek King is busy ruling over her domain, she doesn’t have time for this . ” A few big shots understood .
It was common knowledge that Luminous Master was searching for the dao and didn’t care about mundane matters . His wife had to be in charge of administrative duties in his stead .
Nevertheless, Flying Sword Marvel still bowed and showed ample respect even though it was only a mirror image and in spite of her proud personality .
Though they weren’t actual sisters and were only clan members, Creek King assisted her numerous times before with regard to cultivation .
This was especially true when the marvel attempted to become an Everlasting . Creek King personally got involved, allowing her to become a half-step without any difficulties .
Other big shots including sect masters, lords, and even a few Everlastings stood up to greet her .
“I apologize for not being here in person and show everyone their due respect . ” Creek King apologized to the crowd with her soothing voice .
Her current achievements weren’t only because she was Luminous Master’s wife . She herself was a powerful cultivator, already the ruler of Purification Creek before marrying him .
The stage became quiet after her appearance . No one wanted to make a scene in the presence of so many masters .
Other big shots began showing up - a few low-level emperors and Everlastings .
The famous Metalkin War God also participated in this auction, just not in person, choosing to use a mirror image like his peers .
The pavilions shining up in the sky made the auction even more magnificent .
After Creek King, the crowd calmed down and no longer became as excited when great characters showed up .
Of course, some cultivators became dejected after seeing so many masters present . It would make the bidding very competitive .
These masters clearly wanted some items from the list or they wouldn’t have made the effort to come here . Thus, the regular cultivator lost confidence in outbidding these men .
Creek King alone had enough resources to compete against anyone, not to mention the wealth of her husband . Who could outbid this powerful duo?
She could get whatever she wanted and no one else would even bother .
“This will be a silent war . ” One spectator quietly said: “We’ll only try in the first half, forget about the second half . ”
The atmosphere became quite tense for the potential bidders .
As for the spectators, they didn’t have much money in the first place and only wanted to watch . Some actually only had enough for the entry tickets . The more big shots participating, the more excited they would be for the show .
“Clank! Clank! Clank!” A gong rang on the main stage and came a woman with a gorgeous figure .
Her smiles and frowns were attractive and could steal the soul of young men, inciting an uncontrollable feeling .
“Gentlemen, Arrogance Enterprise’s quinquennial auction commences now . ” Her voice had a magnetic property causing everyone to feel weak and ticklish . A few youths actually got the urge to push her down on stage and do the deed right there .
This auctioneer was indeed seductive to a dangerous level .
“The first half is starting . Please bring out the first item . ” She kept on making the spectators’ heart beat faster .
An ancient cauldron was brought on stage at this moment .
“This cauldron originated from the Anyang Clan and was created by an Amaranthine Eternal . Eight-refined Gold for the body, Whitechill Jade for the legs, then fused together with the flame of peace . The clan wishes to auction it starting at 300,000 true stones, only at the Amaranthine level and up . Each increasing increment must be at least 10,000 . ” The woman said .
This highlighted another amazing aspect of Arrogance Enterprise . Each auction item has been appropriately appraised and priced; its authenticity guaranteed . No imitations or fake items would be used .
This has been true for millions and millions of years . The store was a firm believer in “one gets what they paid for” .
