My Wife is A Sword God

Thanks to the glory of Ya’an, the young master of the Gathering Treasure Pavilion in Yulin City, Qin Feng also enjoyed the privilege of a VIP seat in the front row.

Looking back, the auction hall was packed in a matter of moments.

Qin Feng exclaimed, “The reputation of the Gathering Treasure Pavilion is indeed remarkable. With so many people attending every auction, they must be making a fortune every time, right?”

Ya’an explained, “It’s not always like that. The reason why there are so many people at this auction is mainly because the New Year is approaching, and the grand celebration is coming soon.” 

“You’ve recently entered the Fate Divination realm. Otherwise, if you had mastered the Three Thousand Qi Observation Technique, you would have realized that most of these people are officials from the imperial court. They are here to find suitable gifts to present to the emperor during the New Year celebration.”

“Is that so?” Qin Feng unfolded the Three Thousand Qi Observation Technique and indeed found that more than half of the people were emitting a red glow. 

Judging by the intensity of the red glow, there were quite a few officials above the fourth rank.

“It is indeed as you said,” Qin Feng nodded.

“How could I lie to you?” Ya’an was a bit confused. “What do you mean by that? Have you already mastered the Three Thousand Qi Observation Technique?”

“Is it difficult? My master taught it to me once, and I learned it. By the way, my master is someone I met after you left Jinyang City. It’s normal that you don’t know,” Qin Feng added.

Compared to the so-called master, what shocked Ya’an even more was the Three Thousand Qi Observation Technique. It was not easy to master this divination technique. 

Moreover, if the other party had really mastered it, did it mean that he had also seen her unusual situation?

‘No, that’s impossible. I have a magical tool to hide my aura. With his cultivation level, he should still not be able to see through it,’ Ya’an thought to herself, feeling somewhat relieved.

Not long after, a graceful woman in a sea-blue misty skirt stepped onto the stage. She was probably the one in charge of the auction.

She gently pressed her hands down, and the noisy room instantly quieted.

After a brief opening statement, the first item up for auction was placed on the redwood column on the platform.

When the red curtain was lifted, a lifelike jade dragon greeted everyone’s eyes.

After the woman’s introduction, people gained a simple understanding of the jade dragon. It was a treasure with the effect of nourishing the soul.

After the introduction, the bidding started, and the Jade Dragon quickly reached a high price of thirty thousand taels.

“If I remember correctly, wasn’t the jade that the Gathering Treasure Pavilion sent to the Emperor last year similar in effect to this item?” Qin Feng commented as he listened to the continuous bidding from behind.

Ya’an nodded, “This jade dragon was originally eliminated when the Gathering Treasure Pavilion selected gifts for Emperor Ming this year, so it was put up for auction. With the Emperor’s discerning eye, he definitely wouldn’t like this thing.”

Qin Feng was nervous. As he opened his mouth and listened to the voices shouting prices behind him, he felt that this was a clear injustice.

In the end, this rejected item from the Gathering Treasure Pavilion was sold for a whopping fifty thousand taels.

The auction continued, and the following items were mostly treasures and expensive collectibles.

Qin Feng couldn’t help but sigh, “The person in charge of the Gathering Treasure Pavilion is a chicken thief. He knows that the grand celebration is approaching, and many dignitaries are selecting gifts. So what they are auctioning off are mostly these things. I suspect that many of the auctioned items are leftovers that the Gathering Treasure Pavilion didn’t want.”

“What does chicken thief mean?” Ya’an frowned slightly.

“It means sly and shameless. Of course, I’m not talking about you. I’m talking about the head of the Gathering Treasure Pavilion. Don’t misunderstand,” Qin Feng added.

Wang Xu, who was drinking tea on the side, choked on his tea at Qin Feng’s words and coughed several times.

“Brother Wang, are you okay?”

“I’m fine, I’m fine,” Wang Xu waved his hand repeatedly.

Qin Feng turned his head and curiously looked to the side, “Huh, why do you look so bad?”

Ya’an replied coldly, “During the auction, please be quiet and don’t talk to me.”

“Uh”

This woman is truly inexplicable, unreasonable. Qin Feng muttered a few words in his heart.

In the upcoming auction, he also made a move and bought several precious medicinal herbs and materials that could be used for formations.

And then, the climax came.

He only heard the enchanting woman on the stage say, “The next two items are from the Moonlit Pavilion, a jar of Drunken Immortal and a can of MSG!”

“As for Drunken Immortal, there’s not much to say. You must be familiar with it. This wine is commissioned by the Divine Workshop, carefully brewed, and it’s an existence that can rival the fame of the Start Seizing Tower’s Drunken Dream.”

“As for this MSG, forgive my ignorance. This is also the first time I’ve heard of it. The Moonlit Pavilion claims that this substance has a flavor-enhancing effect, so no matter what food it is sprinkled on, it will be incredibly delicious.”

Compared to the inexplicable MSG, everyone’s attention was drawn to the four characters, “Originally Brewed Drunken Immortal”.

This fine wine produced by the Divine Workshop had long been circulating among the privileged in the imperial capital.

The wine was fragrant, smooth, and rich, and it is no less than the Drunken Dream of the Start Seizing Tower.

Most importantly, the Drunken Immortal available on the market is often diluted, and the quantity is extremely small.

Now, the Gathering Treasure Pavilion could unexpectedly offer an originally brewed one for auction!

A group of people began whispering: “This Drunken Immortal is also famous in the royal family. Unfortunately, the old man from the Divine Workshop is very strict. Even if the Crown Prince came personally, he couldn’t get an originally brewed jar.”

“If you buy this Drunken Immortal, it would be an excellent gift.”

“But what’s the background of the Moonlit Pavilion? Why have I never heard of it?”

“And the Gathering Treasure Pavilion usually protects the auctioneer’s information by keeping it anonymous. This time, it actively mentioned it. It seems that the person behind Moonlit Pavilion is not simple.”

While everyone was still discussing, the woman on the stage spoke again: “The starting price for Drunken Immortal and MSG is ten thousand taels.”

When Lan Ningshuang heard this, her beautiful eyes widened and her red lips parted slightly. Of course, as the young master’s guard, she knew that this Drunken Immortal was originally brewed by Senior Li, whom the young master had trusted early on.

But how could she have imagined that such a jar of wine would have such a high starting price?

What surprised her even more was the speed at which the price rose, far exceeding any previous item!

When the Drunken Immortal was listed at sixty thousand taels, even Qin Feng was somewhat shocked.

One reason was the price, and the other was the wealth of these people.

Even though they were mostly officials in the imperial capital with high salaries, it was far from possible for them to come up with that much money all at once based on their salaries alone.

So where did the money come from? It was nothing but the exploitation of the common people.

It truly reflected the saying, “Behind the vermilion gates, the stench of wine and flesh; on the street, frozen bones and death.

At that moment, an old man at the back of the hall spoke up and said, “I bid one hundred thousand taels of silver on behalf of Start Seizing Tower.”

With this bid, everyone in the hall gasped in shock.

Qin Feng and the others turned around to look, only to see that the old man who made the bid was the one they had encountered earlier, the one guarding the stairs.
