Transmigrated Scoundrel's Exchange System-Novel



The next item that caught his attention was Heavenly Silk. It was a rare fabric that could be used repeatedly for talismans. When talismans are created on talisman paper, the paper can only be used once.

Since Han Cai planned to practice talismans for a long time, this material was perfect for him. Without wasting talisman papers, he could continuously try different talismans on the Heavenly Silk.

The bidding competition for Heavenly Silk was less intense than that for Thunder Iron, and Han Cai easily won the auction.

After that, Han Cai did not find any material that could interest him until the Azure Spirit Flower was brought out. This flower was not just a precious alchemy material, but it had many other uses too. However, those were not the reason why people bought the flowers; mostly, rich people liked to buy these flowers because of their unique feature that they would not wither for hundreds of years. The flower, only found in the Azure Dragon Sect, was a status symbol for any clan who had it.

The moment the flower came up for auction, the starting bidding price was set at one hundred thousand lower-grade spirit stones. Only one or two people below in the general public area bid on it. To Han Cai's surprise, everyone in the VIP room was bidding for the flower.

Han Cai joined the fray, and slowly the bid kept rising. When the bid reached 2.5 million lower-grade spirit stones, only a few VIP rooms kept bidding. Han Cai continued to bid, too; when the bid reached five million lower-grade spirit stones, only three VIPs were bidding – Han Cai being one of the three.

Last time the flower was sold in the same auction for two million. This time people were being more competitive. Han Cai gave Yongnian a curious look.

Yongnian spoke, "It is a contest between the Young Master of the Hu family, Hu Lei, and the Young Master of the Qi family, Qi Ming. Both want to impress a young lady named Pei Yao from the Pei family, who has shown a desire for the flower."

Han Cai understood why they were bidding so much. The Hu family, the Qi family, and the Pei family were overlords of the area. They had family members who were outer sect disciples in the Azure Dragon sect – since their family members were in the Sect. They were given the freedom to trade in the major cities of the Azure Dragon Kingdom. Only Clans of members of the sect were allowed to do business or own businesses in cities such as Verdant City. 

  The Yan, Xu, Ren, Ma, and other clans were no competition to these three; these clans competed against each other. Specially Hu and Qi clans. They did not compete with the Pei clan because the Pei clan was known for its two talented daughters. One of them was in Azure Dragon Sect, while the other was soon going to Join the sect. So it made sense that two young masters would try their best to impress the young lady of the Pei family. 

Han Cai felt bad for these young men because, due to his involvement, neither of them would win any favor from the young lady of the Pei family.

This flower was the beginning of his journey to awakening his dormant abilities.

Han Cai continued outbidding the young masters. When the bid reached seven million, the bidding from both clans started to come in with delay – earlier, they were raising the bid as soon as another bid was made.

These young men could not afford more than seven million spirit stones; it was obvious both the Qi and Hu families wanted their Young Master to impress the young lady, which would strengthen their bond with the Pei family. The moment one of the young masters married the young lady, two families would become in-laws, while the third would be at a disadvantage.

Finally, when Han Cai bid eight million, both young masters stopped bidding. When the bid was made, Han Cai turned to Yan Fucheng and said, "Go to the inn and prepare the carriage; we leave tonight. I am bored with this city."

Yan Fucheng was reluctant to leave, but seeing Han Cai adamant, he left to prepare for their exit from the city. Soon, the Azure Dragon Auction House delivered the beautiful Azure Flower to Han Cai.

After the auction of the flower, the last auction was for an Earth-grade material – not a cauldron, but an Earth-grade brush. This brush could be used by Han Cai for both array formations and talismans. Han Cai had to have it, so another bidding war began. This time, the bidding went for sixty million spirit stones. Han Cai won that bid too, and the exquisite brush was delivered to him.

When the attendant brought the brush in an exquisite jade box, Han Cai carefully inspected it. The craftsmanship was extraordinary, and he could feel the powerful energy emanating from the brush. He knew that it would significantly improve his array of formations and talisman creations.

Han Cai asked the attendant, "Do you know which family I am from?"

The attendant shook her head.

Han Cai asked, "You don't keep the names of the guests on a list? Or whose assigned to which rooms?"

The attendant shook her head and said, "The rooms are assigned randomly. The only thing we know is you bought a VIP pass for our auction house from somewhere. The rooms are assigned randomly, as sometimes bidding gets intense, and people try to find details about the buyer. Because of that, our house doesn't keep any details."

Han Cai looked at Yongnian. Yongnian nodded, which meant she was telling the truth.

Han Cai replied, "Good to know."

Just after Han Cai spoke, an invisible gray Qi covered him and Blacky. Han Cai, Blacky, and Yongnian disappeared from the auction house.
