A flick of the wrist, and two Vortex Maps appeared in hand.
"What... what?" Mu Tian wondered if Wen Ping was pulling his leg, as it all sounded confusing.
Wen Ping continued, "Gold Element Anomaly Vein, my psychological price is between 600 and 700 White Crystals. The Earth Element one, around 400 to 500. But thatâs not the most important thing, whatâs crucial is the marketing. Boss Mu, wipe that look off your face, Iâm not joking with you."
After all, it was a day that would challenge everyoneâs perception of Vortex Maps, and Wen Ping didnât expect Mu Tian to believe him right away.
"Is this real?" Mu Tian set down the teacup.
"Do I look like Iâm joking? This is something our Sectâs Vortex Divine Artisan has recently developed, a groundbreaking new type of Vortex Map. So, Boss Mu, if you promote it well, it could very well revive your auction house. We both gain what we need." After saying this, Wen Ping watched Mu Tian intently.
"You, leave." Mu Tian immediately ordered the maid in the room to exit, keeping a suspicious eye on the Vortex Map on the table, "Not sure which Sect Brother Wen comes from?"
"Is that important?"
"Well, words alone arenât enough. If Brother Wen is from a Major Sect, Iâll definitely believe you! I will do my utmost to promote it in Cloud Sea City."
With Vortex Maps, you can easily tell its grade.
A single vortex, two vortices, very distinct, yet the so-called Vortex Map ability is indistinguishable. If itâs from a Major Sect, no scam would dare to fool customers in Cloud Sea City, itâs likely genuine. Also, over the years, countless Vortex Divine Artisans have continuously researched the creation of Vortex Maps.
However, Wen Ping casually replied, "Just a Starless Sect."
"Starless Sect!" Not a Three-star, not a pseudo Three-star, how is he supposed to believe Wen Pingâs words, "Brother Wen, you... how can I trust you? Honestly, your words really moved me, youâve also seen our situation, itâs only bleak now, but the credibility of your words isnât high."
...
"Did those people go to Mu Tianâs?" Liu Manager heard the whisper from the guard beside him, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The Mu family indeed is a spent force, grasping at anything.
A One-Star Vortex Map actually made it into the gates of a Level C Auction House, not afraid of being laughed at if word gets out?
However, Mu Tianâs situation is such that without a One-Star Vortex Map, he has nothing worthwhile to auction. As a Level C Auction House, nothing has been auctioned for more than 500 White Crystals in three months. And in Cloud Sea City, thereâs no concept of downgrade; if youâre at Level C and canât meet Level C standards, your auction house license will be revoked.
"This is a sign of impending collapse." Liu Manager stood up, walking out proudly, "Three consecutive months without auctioning items valued over 500 White Crystals, Mu Tian, oh Mu Tian, you might as well close shop early. When our Liu family took root here initially, you refused to move, now youâve been reduced to pulling people off the street, any regrets?"
"Liu Manager, are we heading there now?" a nearby Half-Step Divine Profound asked.
"Where else, of course, letâs go check on Mu Tian, discuss the auction house transaction issues. This time, lower the price further, tell him if he doesnât sell, the auction house will go bankrupt... selling to our Liu Family is the only way." Liu Manager laughed heartily as he left the auction house.
Once the Liu family secures the management rights to that land.
And opens a shop dedicated to receiving Celestial Materials, the Liu family will firmly establish its footing in Cloud Sea City.
...
"Since you donât believe, fine, Iâll go to other Level C auction houses." Wen Ping was about to get up, indeed, not having a time limit was the right move by the system.
A groundbreaking item, breaking the conventional understanding of Vortex Maps, needs someone with foresight.
Mu Tian, clearly, was not that person.
When Wen Ping was about to leave, Mu Tian hastily raised his hand, "Brother Wen Ping, donât be hasty..."
The wealthy patron who had already entered was about to leave, how could he bear to let go? Yet, he had only just started to utter his words of retention when a voice echoed from outside.
"Mu Tian, your life is quite leisurely, huh. Plenty of downtime every day." As the words fell, Liu Manager walked in unimpeded.
Of course, it wasnât that no one dared to stop him, but rather no one was present to stop him.
As Liu Manager, shaking off his corpulent physique, entered the room, Mu Tian immediately said coldly, "Who let you in? Is this your territory... Liu Yuan, get out!"
"Not very capable, yet quick-tempered." Liu Yuan chuckled, then immediately found a chair to sit on, just in time to see Wen Pingâs group preparing to leave. "Mu Tian, youâll truly accept just anyone. Someone who considers a One-Star Vortex Map to be valued at 666 White Crystals, someone our Liu Family wouldnât deign to look at, you actually treat as an honored guest."
"None of your damn business!" Mu Tian snorted coldly.
"Why is this person so disgusting, not even as nice as the uncle driving the Beast Vehicle." Miao Yin lamented from the side, her voice was loud enough for everyone in the room to hear clearly.
"Courting death!"
Accompanying Miao Yinâs words, a Half-Step Divine Profound standing at the door behind Liu Yuan immediately shouted angrily.
A Body Refining Realm dares to speak like this, what difference does it make from courting death?
"Haha."
Wen Ping let out a low laugh.
Then there was a loud bangâ
An object was smashed into the ground, shattering the surrounding tables, chairs, and antique shelves.
Everyone looked to see that the Half-Step Divine Profound was smashed into the floor.
Before anyone could react, a Mountain Dog lashed out with a paw again. Just like that, it smashed the Half-Step Divine Profound, who attempted to activate his Meridian Gate for a counterattack, into mincemeat.
Blood gushed!
Utterly brutal.
And the Mountain Dog simply retracted its paw nonchalantly.
"This..."
Witnessing this scene, Mu Tian was stunned.
Was Liu Ni of the Half-Step Divine Profound just killed like that?
Though in Cloud Sea City a Half-Step Divine Profound isnât worth much, can be seen everywhere, yet there arenât many who can kill a Half-Step Divine Profound.
The dog at the feet of this young man was so strong, at least a Great Demon of the Divine Profound Realmâhow is this just the backing of a Starless Sect?
At least a Three-star Influence!
And equipping such a powerful demon race guardian for a young man means the backing influence is only more extensive.
Meanwhile, witnessing this lightning-fast event unfold, Liu Yuan was stunned. The Profound Realm accompanying him immediately wanted to act but dared not move after receiving a glare from Grandfather Ha.
"You! You dare to kill someone of our Liu Family."
"The killing is done, feel free to find me anytime." Wen Ping responded calmly.
Some people, really, given face they become arrogant.
Wen Ping asked again, "Oh yes, were you threatening me just now?"
Woof!
The Mountain Dog barked angrily.
Terrified, Liu Yuan staggered back a few steps, bumping against the wall.
With only Upper Profound Realm cultivation, how dare he speak further?
"Get lost, Liu Manager!" The three words Liu Manager were pronounced emphatically by Wen Ping, clearly as a taunt. Facing someone who has no power to speak of, merely relying on family name to feign authority, Wen Ping had no interest in killing him, "Donât let me see you again, next time you wonât be so lucky."
Wen Ping returned the words to him, exactly as they were!
