God-Like Extraction

Chapter 205: Gathering of Experts

Translator: Atlas StudiosEditor: Atlas Studios

Unlike other organizations, the Myriad Treasures Court only operated auction markets and charged transaction fees.

For hundreds of years, all they did was be an “agent”.

Their reputation and credibility were very solid.

Both ordinary people or martial artists could go knocking on their doors. Once they passed the inspection and the item was confirmed to be extraordinary, the organization would accept the request and proceed with the auction.

As far as Su Jingxing knew, the auctions of the Myriad Treasures Court’s Qinghe City’s branch did not have fixed timings.

Some were a year apart, and others were half a year apart.

Every time before an auction, there would be a certain amount of publicity done.

‘They would be present in all channels, television, Internet, newspapers, and radio broadcasts.

This time, there was actually no publicity, only sharing the news through word of mouth.

Are the items being auctioned more special this time?

Su Jingxing pondered.

The group of men in the room made preparations for two scenarios.

On one hand, they contacted him, and on the other, they entrusted the strange Energy Gathering Stone to the Myriad Treasures Court for auction.

If what they said was true, there would be an auction held at the Myriad Treasures Court the day after tomorrow. That would provide him with a better understanding of the situation.

Neither they nor Su Jingxing recognized the stone.

‘There were no records of such items in the Record of Wondrous Things in Xuantian University Library.

The Record of Wondrous Things Record wasn’t the Collection of Wondrous Things, it did not contain all the oddities in the world.

It could only be said that in comparison, there were many strange items recorded.

Su Jingxing wasn’t surprised that there were no records of such a strange stone in the Record of Wondrous Things.

But the people of the Myriad Treasures Court might know what it was.

In terms of understanding treasures, the appraisers of the Myriad Treasures Court were the most experienced.

They had access to inherited information of all kinds of treasures.

‘The group of men in the room had picked up the strange stones by the river. If he had to pick people who were mostly likely to know what they were,

the Myriad Treasures Court’s appraisers would definitely be one of them!

With this in mind. Su Jingxing took a few steps back and disappeared into the darkness, moving away from the restaurant.

He found a remote corner and soared into the sky.

There was a good chance that he would find out what the strange stone was once he attended the Myriad Treasures Court’s auction.

This was a perfect opportunity for him to take a look at the auction markets on Earth Star and see if there was anything good he could get his hands on.

Before that, Su Jingxing wasn’t in a hurry to obtain all the stones.

It would be funny if this thing had side effects, or was not of much use other than really only serving to boost sleep.

It was just two days, he could afford to wait.

The auctions of the Myriad Treasures Court were all held at night.

The location was the top floor of a tall building.

The top three floors of the building had been bought by the Myriad Treasures Court as their branch in Qinghe City.

Instead of incurring enmity with any organization, they helped everyone to gather all kinds of rare treasures.

‘The Myriad Treasures Court had close ties with almost every faction.

As long as it wasn’t anything major, everyone was happy to do them favors.

Of course, in order for any faction to flourish, no matter how individualistic and neutral they were, they had to have strong capabilities to be their backing and source of confidence.

Similarly, the Myriad Treasures Court had many top-ranked experts as their Guardians.

Rumor had it that the owner was a first-grade big shot.

As for his exact level, no one knew.

Given Su Jingxing’s current strength, he had nothing to fear about others.

After a day.

At eight in the evening on the following day, he made a beeline for the Myriad Treasures Court through the air.

He landed on the rooftop.

His secret ability, Advanced Hearing, was activated for him to listen to the movements on the top floor below.

People had already arrived and were waiting.

Su Jingxing shook off his cloak, checked his mask, and walked towards the stairs.

Before long, he was at the entrance of the auction hall.

The guards at the entrance did not check tickets; they were only responsible for security.

Su Jingxing entered the auction hall and found a corner to sit down, quietly waiting for the auction to start at 8:30 pm.

During this time, people arrived in succession and entered the auction hall.

Su Jingxing recognized many of them.

For example, Yan Yuanfeng of the Iron Thread Sect had come with his Sect Master, Yuan Zhuojun.

Zhao Zhongyi from the Cross Alliance, and the Dean of Xuantian’s Institute of Martial Arts, Han Zong, each came with one other person.

‘The Sect Master of the Divine Fist Sect, Di Donglei, the Elder of the Green Cloud Court, Li Chunzhen, the Patriarch of the Li Family, Li Mingfang.

Even Xu Tailong from the Tai Long Corporation was present.

At the end, the Commander of the Changyang Prefecture Army, Gu Zhanlin, and Lu Wuchang from the Lu Family of Ci En Bank, walked in and sat down.

Experts!

To think that third-grade experts like Gu Zhanlin and Lu Wuchang would show up at the auction.

The puzzled Su Jingxing grew even more curious.

Just what is the Myriad Treasures Court auctioning this time?

Even third-grade martial artists are here.

It wasn’t as bad for Gu Zhanlin. Even though this was the first time Su Jingxing was seeing Lu Wuchang with his own eyes, he knew how powerful and mysterious he was through the Memory Card.

To put it bluntly, like Su Jingxing, this guy also had a cheat ability in his life!

Only the heavens knew where his terrifying intuition came from.

Yet, this fellow had actually appeared at the auction. From this, it could be seen that the items being auctioned by the Myriad Treasures Court this time weren’t simple.

“Good evening, guests. Welcome to the Myriad Treasures Court’s special auction session. I’m your old friend, and auctioneer, Old Peng.”

‘At 8:30 pm, on the stage at the front of the auction hall, an old man with thick eyebrows, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, his hair combed neatly appeared.

With a small wooden mallet in hand, he wore a smile on his face, showing no fear at Gu Zhanlin and Lu Wuchang’s arrival.

“Tm sure everyone knows the meaning of a “special session”, so I’ll cut to the chase.

“If we have new friends here who don’t know about it, it’s fine. You’ll find out soon enough.”

“This is because there are only three items up for auction this time.

“Let’s cut to the chase and get down to business. Let’s bring out the first item!”

The thick-browed old man pointed at the edge of the stage.

Under everyone’s gaze, a female martial artist whose figure and looks were above average, dressed in a uniform, walked onto the stage with a round plate and placed it on the auction table.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Beams of light brightened up and lit up the entire auction table.

At the same time, the large displays mounted into the walls on both sides of the auction hall lit up.

‘They showed the item placed on the circular plate on the auction table.

The female martial artist removed the red cloth covering the item, revealing its true appearance.

Astone the size of two palms.

Su Jingxing had no idea how others felt, but his pupils constricted.

This stone was the same type of strange Energy Gathering Stone he had acquired!

The first item was what Su Jingxing wanted to learn about. He was in luck.

He more or less knew what kind a special session by the Myriad Treasures Court was now.

“Tm sure everyone is curious as to what this stone is.”

On the stage, the thick-browed old man’s deep and powerful voice continued,

“Before I introduce it, please allow me to do some advertising. The appraisers of the Myriad Treasures Court are the most proficient with all the treasures in the world.

“Take this stone for example. I dare to claim that the Xuantian University Library doesn’t have any records of its existence.

“Not all of them, even if they do.

“But our appraisers know what it is.

“Because this Soul Nurturing Stone originated from the Great Moon Empire from 3,000 years ago!”
