The Story of the Prince, Leiva
Chapter 13 - Auction
Upon entering the Martial Market, Leiva went straight to the Central Auction. The average shop could not afford a Low-grade Spiritual Martial Technique. Only when they were sold at the Central Auction could Leiva maximize the value of their martial techniques.
Right after Leiva walked into the Auction House, a beautiful, well-dressed, woman sauntered towards him. Without showing the astonishment of seeing her in mysterious clothes, she asked politely, "Master, is there anything you need?”
“I can't wait to meet the highest Shop Manager of Auction Center!" Leiva had changed his tone to a low and thick tone, sounding like he was 30 years old.
“Who the hell is this guy? Wanted to meet the Shop Manager when he had just arrived. He should be taken seriously.”
“I will tell the Store Manager, however, he is usually busy accepting VIP customers. I'm afraid he won't have time to meet you. Could you please wait a minute?” After telling him, the waiter walked through the large gate and went to notify the Shop Manager.
Leiva was in no hurry and just waited in the lobby quietly. A few minutes later, the maid returned through the gate with a plump elder dressed in an elegant robe. He pointed towards Leiva and said, "That's it, Mr.”
The Shop Manager glanced at Leiva, who was still shrouded in his black robe, and from afar, the Shop Manager directed his gaze at Leiva's feet. His eyes were slightly narrowed.
The pair of boots that Leiva wore were called gold-plated shoes, and only the people in the royal palace were entitled to wear them. Leiva showed off his boots on purpose. Because, he had intended to auction off a Low-grade Spiritual sword technique, one that was definitely coveted by others. He did not have the ability to protect sword techniques with his current martial cultivation.
If people recognized him as a person worthy of royalties, few dared to question him. It was necessary for him to pretend that he was strong and to scare others, especially since he was actually not strong.
“He has an unusual background!” The Shop Manager thought to himself when he saw Leiva's shoes.
Suddenly, the attitude of the Shop Manager changed, and he respected Leiva as if he was a noble. He walked in front of Leiva and said in a humble voice, "Your Majesty, please come through here!”
"Good." To impress her, Leiva nodded and placed his hands behind her back, pulled back his shoulders and reached his full height.
Soldiers in the lobby saw the attitude of the Shop Manager and they speculated about what a great figure came to Auction Center. —
Arriving at the third floor of the Central Auction, Leiva sat at the highest position comfortably and picked up the teacup offered by the maid. In a condescending tone, he said, “I have a treasure I want to auction here. Please contact your most trusted appraiser to assess it. ”
After seeing Leiva's great demeanor, the Shop Manager increasingly convinced himself that this person was an important person in the royal palace, so he immediately called the appraiser. After a while, a white-haired old man walked in.
He looked like he was at least 70 years old, with a pair of sharp eyes. To his surprise, he found himself unable to know Leiva's cultivation.
There were three types of situations where one could not know the martial cultivation of others. First, if the cultivation of others is higher than yours. Second, the practice of training others was more brilliant than normal.
For example, warriors who practiced Human Stage Practice were generally unable to see the cultivation of warriors who practiced Spirit Level Training. They could only guess the cultivation of others with details and aura. Certainly, if sharing a similar level of practice, people who had higher cultivation could still guess their lower martial cultivation.
And third, was when others had treasures that hid his cultivation. The second and third cases were rare, therefore, instinctively, the elders treated Leiva as the first case. Thinking that Leiva's cultivation was higher than his, so he saluted him respectfully.
It just so happened that Leiva practiced Lord Shinichi's Sacred Scripture, which was complemented by profound training. No one in the entire Stardom Altar could see through his martial cultivation unless he showed his inner Meridians on purpose.
In fact, in his previous life, Leiva was superior and reached Heaven Level Completion. Despite being reborn as an ordinary human in this life, Leiva's Understanding of Martial Arts and soul carried with it its vital essence into this life. Only when one's Martial Arts realm was higher than Heaven's Level Completion could one know Leiva's cultivation.
Inside her sleeve, one of Leiva's hands touched the Stone of Space and Time. He grabbed into that internal space, grabbed the formula of the Sacred Sword Skill and handed it over to the elder.
“I want to auction off this Spiritual Low Class sword technique!” leiva said lightly.
Hearing what Leiva said, the appraiser was greatly shocked when he had just handed over a short formula of the Sacred Sword Skill. He immediately unrolled the paper and carefully inspected it.
The Shop Manager, who had been standing at the side, quickly walked over to consult the appraiser. Both the head appraiser and the Shop Manager were Martial Arts masters. So, they immediately made up their mind and nodded together.
“This is the authentic formula of a Low-grade Spiritual sword technique, and I wonder, how many sword moves have you gained?” ask the Shop Manager.
Only through the combined formula with the sword movement, could the sword technique of the Low-grade Spiritual use its original strength. Even if the Shop Manager and the head appraiser had to think of a short formula of the Sacred Sword Skill, without a combination of sword techniques, it was useless.
Leiva said, “All Sacred Sword Skills cover 12 of the sword techniques, the first edition is long gone. This Sacred Sword skill that I possess is drawn by a person at the Heaven's Level, and the sword techniques within it are no different from the first edition.”
The head appraiser meditated for a moment and said, "In that case, the initial bid for the Sacred Sword Skill was 200,000 silver coins. But, as a requirement, the buyer can verify this is an actual Low-class Spiritual sword move, otherwise, the auction will fail.”
While nodding, Leiva said, “All done according to your rules!”
As the most famous and outstanding item, this Sacred Sword Skill could be auctioned off tonight. Before starting the auction, the Auction Center would notify all the big families in the Stardom Altar as quickly as possible.
