Chapter 774 - 774 Selling The Treasures

Liao Huo was momentarily stunned as he stared at the iron halberd and the 3 golden scrolls that had appeared in front of him, before he turned to look at Shun Long and asked in a confused manner

''Dear guest?''

Shun Long nodded his head and answered calmly

''There is indeed something that I will need your help with. Since your 'White tiger chamber of commerce' is hosting an auction, I want to auction these things as well. I hope you can help me take care of it.''

A look of understanding flashed inside Liao Huo's eyes before he stretched out his hand and began to inspect the iron halberd first.

A few seconds later, Liao Huo mumbled to himself

''A peak 1-star weapon with the 'Dao of Earth' engraved inside it. The quality is not bad, and the runes themselves seem to be in perfect condition as well... almost as if this thing was just forged. It should bring at least 70.000-80.000 high-grade spirit stones if it's sold in the auction.''

Without any hesitation, Liao Huo placed the iron halberd to the side before he turned his attention towards the 3 golden scrolls on the table in front of him.

A few moments later, after he finished inspecting the first scroll, the silver-robed Dao Emperor raised his head and stared at Shun Long with a somewhat surprised look on his face before he asked seriously

''Dear guest, this is a Saint high-grade cultivation technique! Are you sure that you want to auction this?''

Liao Huo's tone turned slightly solemn when he said this.

Of course, it wasn't surprising that Liao Huo would ask this question.

As a powerful Dao Emperor and the supervisor of the 'Intelligence room' in the 'White tiger chamber of commerce', Liao Huo knew how rare Saint high-grade cultivation techniques really were.

Even first-rate powers like the Holy sect and even the Murong family didn't have any immortal-grade cultivation techniques, and they only had Saint high-grade cultivation techniques in their treasury.

Even if one of their disciples had somehow managed to obtain an immortal-grade cultivation technique, they wouldn't share it with anyone else and would do anything to keep it for themselves.

At the same time, although it wasn't unprecedented for someone to sell a Saint high-grade cultivation technique during an auction, Liao Huo knew that instances like these were extremely rare, and that those cultivation techniques usually came from extremely powerful individuals who were already renowned throughout the central region and didn't have much use for these cultivation techniques.

Naturally, those individuals would choose to sell them for high-grade spirit stones instead.

However, aside from those powerful individuals, Liao Huo also knew that there was one other group of cultivators who would occasionally try to sell these cultivation techniques... people who had deserted their family or sect and had stolen their core techniques before they left.

Of course, Liao Huo didn't know whether Shun Long was an expert who belonged to the first group or the second, but he still decided to ask regardless.

Judging from Shun Long's reaction, Liao Huo would then know which group the person in front of him really belonged.

If Shun Long hesitated, Liao Huo would then be certain that the black-robed person in front of him belonged to the second group.

Using the resources and the information channels of the 'White tiger chamber of commerce', it then wouldn't be difficult for him to locate which power Shun Long came from simply by taking a look at the name of the cultivation technique, and then inform them that their cultivation technique would be auctioned at their branch.

No matter what, a cultivation technique was every power's utmost priority, and they would do anything they could to get back it back if it was stolen.

At the same time, Liao Huo could sell them the information about Shun Long's whereabouts and let that power come and take revenge.

Clearly, these were the skills of a shrewd businessman. Anything and everything that could be converted to money would be used by Liao Huo!

Unfortunately for him, Shun Long didn't hesitate for a moment, as he calmly nodded his head and said

''I have no use for these things so it's better to sell them.''

At the same time, inside the 'Stone of Time', Little Black had a mocking look in his deep azure eyes as he stared at the silver-robed Dao Emperor in front of Shun Long.

Although Liao Huo was shrewd, how could his intentions possibly escape the black dragon's eyes?

Shun Long could also guess what Liao Huo's intentions were, but he didn't care about it one bit.

After all, this cultivation technique clearly belonged to Huo Wuyi who had disappeared thousands of years ago.

Even if Huo Wuyi had stolen it from some power, it would be uncertain if that power would still be as strong as it had been in the past and if they would still be looking for it.

Even strong powers could end up disappearing after the passage of many years from the cultivation world.

Besides, as a powerful Dao Emperor who was also a talented formation master, Shun Long knew that Huo Wuyi was at least a rank 6 Dao Emperor and would definitely look for a cultivation technique that suited him perfectly instead of stealing the first Saint high-grade cultivation technique that he could get his hands on.

Liao Huo also understood that Shun Long had most likely found out his intentions, but he wasn't flustered in the slightest as he smiled brightly and nodded his head before he answered

''Of course, dear guest. You can leave this to me. I will make sure to put your items in our auction a month from now!''

A moment later, Liao Huo took a look at the other 2 golden scrolls that included 2 Saint middle-grade martial skills as well, before he swept everything inside his spatial ring.

Liao Huo then waved his hand, as he took out a silver token from his spatial ring and tossed it to Shun Long before he continued

''Dear guest, this is the VIP invitation from our 'White tiger chamber of commerce'. You should come and take a look at the auction even if you don't intend to buy anything.. I can assure you that the items will be worth your time. Hehe, even Sovereign realm experts will come to participate in this auction after all!''
