Douluo Dalu: Journey To The East

Waking up to a new day, new dawn. Su Mucheng was the one that woke up. Thinking to herself how to wake up Ye Xiu secretly. 'since I went to the market yesterday and found this item, I think its time to use it' thinking to her own self. She had the materials and worked on it before Ye Xiu finished his meditation.

"Good morning!!" Ye Xiu heard someone yell excitedly . At the same time, there was a "BANG!" and colored paper flew out everywhere all over his face. Someone had used a party popper towards him.

Jumping up in fright, but it had been done as a wake up call. Knowing her, and her carefree personality.

Standing there was Su Mucheng

"I'm sorry waking up this way." Seeing the person getting up from the bed with her party popper. She hurried over and clean him up.

"Its alright, at least we woke up on a good time." Ye xiu said while looking outside to see the sun raising.

Su Mucheng gave the party popper for Ye Xiu to see. She successfully surprised him, satisfied with the results.

Ye Xiu took it and looked, "Something that you made yourself?"

"Yeah!" Su Mucheng replied

"Did you used less explosive power?" Ye Xiu recalled her using it on her brother once.

"Yes, I did" Su Mucheng thought as Ye Xiu praised her. Smiling.

"Alright, let's head out." Ye Xiu said

"Yeah!" Su Mucheng nodded her head with her hands behind her back

Going downstairs to have their breakfast before the start of their day.

"What are going to have tonight?" Ye Xiu asked Su Mucheng while munching on his food.

"Don't worry, I have it covered" Smiled

"Oh?" Ye Xiu was curious.

Leaving the inn and giving the key back to the manager. They head off into the direction of Heaven Dou Auction House. Noticing that there wasn't anyone watching and speaking among each other.

"Seems there were no spies today." Ye Xiu mumbled.

"We should let others not bother us, I have a plan." Su Mucheng smiled and let a little happy laugh

Ye Xiu wasn't bothered as he needs to be calm at all times. Not wanting to waste time, he agreed at Su Mucheng little 'plan'. As agreeing to her, she put her arms around his arm to create an arm lock like the couples do. Displaying their affections so others wouldn't brother them.

Reaching the entrance the entrance of the auction house. It was overcrowded with others waiting to bid. Seeing the sign

Heaven Dou Auction

Seeing two people approach, one of the four young women took three steps forward to greet them, bowing slightly as she spoke:

"Guests, is there anything you require assistance with?"

"This is the auction house. We want to go in for a look." Mucheng

The young woman was stunned, even though she didn't hold any contempt because of Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng's age, it was still the first time she had ever seen visitors like this. But she still patiently said to the duo,

"I'm sorry, honored guests, may I ask whether you have the bidding qualifications certificate?"

Both stared blankly at the women,

"Bidding qualifications certificate? What kind of thing is that?"

The young woman smiled slightly, saying to the young kids

"Only guests possessing a bidding qualifications certificate may enter the auction house to bid. Certification exists in several different levels, of them the threshold to enter is ten thousand gold spirit coins. In other words, you must prove you have assets to an amount of ten thousand gold spirit coins and can participate in bidding. This is to ensure people cannot enter to bid maliciously. Please forgive me."

Su Mucheng turned her head to look at Ye Xiu

"We have our assets right?"

Ye Xiu somewhat nodded his head. Even though he had earned a lot at the Great Spirit Arena, a figure like ten thousand gold spirit coins was still too much. Deciding to release an item on bid.

Seeing Su Mucheng expression, Ye Xiu couldn't help saying to her,

"Isn't there some other way to get inside?"

The young lady said, "It's still possible under another condition: if you are selling something you can also enter the auction hall. But to sell something requires passing our Heaven Dou Auction's special appraiser's valuation, the value must exceed ten thousand gold spirit coins for qualifications to join the auction. If the auction is successful we will take ten percent of the sale price as commission."

Ye Xiu heart twitched. Searching his ring, he pulled out an item.

It was a black little case, only about palm sized, on top were fastened rings and locks, the case was completely black, and on the front was a set of tiny holes. Deciding to sell the spirit bone he gained from Blood Gunner Yagg, thinking he can re-spawn inside the realm and redo it for the same reward

"Then we'll auction this."

Ye Xiu flashed the little case in his hand and opened it to show the women.

"What is this?"

The young lady wasn't scornful when Ye Xiu took this thing out, having worked here for a time she knew that sometimes the more bizarre an item was the more valuable it was.

Su Mucheng feigned mystery:

"Don't you have appraisers? Didn't you say before that you had appraisers to have a look at the value, right?"

The young lady had realized that this went beyond her, and hastily held out an inviting hand,

"Please follow me."

While speaking, she started walking into the auction house with small steps.

Inside the auction house wasn't any feeling of glorious splendor. The floor was milky white marble, and on all the walls were all kinds of reliefs. The relief sculptures didn't have a lot of color, appearing simple and forthright, extremely elegant. Besides the reliefs were still some display windows on the walls. Inside were arranged goods like porcelain or armor and such. If they didn't know what this place was.

Taking them to the place with the word 'appraisal' hung over the room.

Inside the room was a row of tables, behind which stood eight black-robed appraisers, all of different ages, hastily valuing some goods.

The young lady said to the duo, Ye Xiu and Mucheng, "This is the room for ordinary appraisals. If I may I would trouble you guests as to the characteristics of the item."

While speaking, she brought the two to an appraiser on the left, handing over the small case.

"Appraiser number one, I would trouble you. These two guests wish to put this item up for auction."

The appraiser subconsciously accepted the metal box. As his gaze fell on it he immediately displayed an astonished expression, turning it over for a look as he said. "By chance could this be a spirit bone?"

As the women dropped her mouth, opening it in surprise of the word 'spirit bone'. A spirit was rare, more than worth an entire nation if put on a scale. These represent your talent.

"Put the spirit bone up for sale." Ye Xiu handed over the case to the appraiser.

Through bidding, he can obtain a good amount if done correctly, knowing he needed more money for his items to upgrade the Myriad Manifestation Umbrella and head east to look for things.

At the same time the receiving young lady gave the pair a simple introduction to the rules here.

As the biggest auction house in Heaven Dou Empire, it was possible to bid for any items here.

The first rule of the auction house was to never ask about the seller. Moreover they couldn't reveal the circ.u.mstances of bidding in the auction house outside.

hours constant bidding, without rest.

Every night was a time when top quality items were auctioned. Within those two hours only buyers with cash deposits in excess of one million gold spirit coins could participate. Any other time, any bidder could join.

The rules were very simple, but Tang San still noticed that this uninterrupted auction no doubt brought immense profit to the auction house. The auction of one precious thing would bring a ten percent commission, from some points of view that wasn't much, but in fact, the acc.u.mulated wealth was terrifying.

Even so much that the profits must be enormous even compared to the Great Spirit Arena.

"Take us to the auction, please." As Su Mucheng heard a lot of people were raising the prices.

The young woman brought them directly to the entrance to the center of the auction before turning around and leaving. There were other attendants within the auction heart.

Compared to the young woman that brought them, wearing their white clothes giving entire different feelings to others.

Everyone can be seen wore masks to cover their identity. Seeing the man walking with a case in hand. The auctioneer on the stage touched the amplifier and spoke to the bidders with a smile:

"The next auction we will conduct is a rare item. Interested bidders please pay attention. Especially Spirit Masters."

"Can you guess what it is? Then, I will first reveal to all distinguished guests the starting price. This item's opening price is ten million gold spirit coins, each bid increases by a fold. Top quality!"

As the auction's presenter, the ability to raise the atmosphere and the enthusiasm of the competing bidders was clearly required, and he very successfully attracted the bidders' attention.

"Next, all distinguished guests please pay attention."

While speaking he opened the case to showcase a spirit bone

"This here is 200,000 year spirit bone! Rarity among anything!"

"One million seven hundred thousand gold spirit coins!" as a man in yellow shouted towards the announcer.

Seeing the others silent, he stepped forward.

"One hundred seventy thousand, there is a red guest bidding one million seven hundred thousand gold spirit coins, are there no further bids?" as the announcer said

"One million eight hundred thousand. Excellent. there is a white-, ah. A white guest bidding one million eight hundred thousand!."

He had already cried out in surprise on more than one occasion. White represented the most inferior bidders, but from the start of this auction there had been a white bidder participating. Even stranger, his bank still didn't show any signs of overdraft. This explained how the competitor had such bidding power.

"Let me see who dares fight with me."

An elderly man in the front most red area stood up sharply, his eyes sweeping across the white area in the back. Even though he wore a mask, as soon as this man stood up, he was interrupted by others trying to make him sit down.

"The auction house has the rules of the auction house, can we continue?"

The middle aged man's voice wasn't loud, but mild and refined, but it still clearly reached everyone's ears.

"Fifty Million Gold Spirit Coins!" As a male shouted on the left front red seat.

Seeing the crowd whisper among each other, 'that guy must have spent his entire nation arsenal!' saying to themselves.

"Fifty Million Gold Spirit Coins going twice, Fifty Million Gold Spirit Coins going thrice. Sold to the man. This Spirit bone of 200,000 year age belongs to that in the left red seat in the front.

As the days passed seeing herbs of Golden Flower of Crimson go buy, Ye Xiu instantly knew by the name that he needed this to exchange with 'God' and complete one of the side missions.

Shouting to bid as others place it to five hundred coins!

"One million gold spirit coins!" As Ye Xiu stood up from his seat and shouted

"Sold to that man at the second floor!" Announcer said

As the auction ended (and here comes a cliff hanger HAHA!! More to write)

A/N Not bad eh? 2k words. Thats really something in my eyes. Took me some time. Thanks for reading. Stay toned!
