When Baili Hongzhuang and the others arrived outside the dormitory, they were all stunned at the ocean of people outside the door.
Bai Junyu’s opened his mouth, his handsome face filled with astonishment, “This……. Isn’t this too many people?”
Besides the new student examinations, he had never seen so many students gathered up at one place.
Xia Zhiman was also speechless. When she had came, there were no people but now, only a short time had passed and there were already so much more people.
Looking at the steady stream of students still coming at the far back, it seems like the auction will really have a lot of people attending.
Dongfang Yu had a smile on his face, a faint trace of ridicule on his countenance. “Hongzhuang, this auction of yours is really too big. The entire special enrollment student dormitory gives up.”
Baili Hongzhuang couldn’t help but laugh. Her idea had accidentally blocked the special enrollment student’s dormitory.
At that time, she hadn’t thought so many students would come. If more people kept on coming, there wouldn’t be enough space to accommodate them all.
Liu Qinyue stared blankly at the scene in front of her and looked at Baili Hongzhuang, unable to control the trace of envy appearing in her eyes.
As a pill master, she knew the significance of an extinct pill very well.
Before Baili Hongzhuang appeared, she was Azure Water City’s most watched pill master talent.
And now, not only was Baili Hongzhuang a second grade pill master, she was even a famous doctor in the field of healing- the Godly Doctor.
She was even younger than herself, yet held extinct pill recipes.
As the Vice Principal’s disciple, she also naturally held some pill recipes. But those were all common, normal pill recipes, simply incapable of being compared with those extinct, long lost pill recipes.
Originally she had thought that her pill refining talents were already far beyond other peers her age, but since the arrival of Baili Hongzhuang, she seemed to be completely pulled down off of her altar. Her heart couldn’t help but feel a little lonesome.
Dibei Chen’s eyes glowed with appreciation and pride. His wife was truly special, whatever she did would attract everybody’s attention!
“More and more people are coming. I’m afraid that there won’t be enough space to hold an auction here.”
Baili Hongzhuang frowned slightly as she looked around to see even more students approaching.
“Personally, I think that it’d be a lot better to host the auction at the plaza.” Dongfang Yu’s smile was bright, “There’s a high platform over there and a lot of space. You can conduct the auction on the platform and we can help you with whatever’s convenient.”
Hearing Dongfang Yu’s suggestion, Baili Hongzhaung’s eyes lit up, “We can use the Morning Assembly Plaza?”
The Morning Assembly Plaza was generally only used when the school wanted to make important announcements. Baili Hongzhuang knew that it’d be the best place to conduct the auction, but was also worried that they wouldn’t be allowed to.
Dongfang Yu waved his hand, a bright and charming smile still on his face.
“It doesn’t matter, that plaza’s affairs had already been given to me.”
Seeing Dongfang Yu’s confident appearance, Baili Hongzhuang eyes also curved into a smile.
“Then I’ll be troubling you.”
Dongfang Yu nodded before turning to Gong Shaoqing, “Shaoqing, I’ll be temporarily leaving this to you. I’m going to go talk to the Vice Principal.”
“Okay.” Gong Shaoqing answered heavily.
Baili Hongzhuang’s eyes were filled with gratitude. No matter if it was Dongfang Yu or Gong Shaoqing, since she had arrived at Azure Water School, they’ve both helped her a lot.
With their reputation within Azure Water School as long as one of them was here, nobody would dare to cause chaos.
After the group of students outside the dormitory saw Baili Hongzhuang and the others come out, fiery looks of anticipation started appearing in their eyes.
After Baili Hongzhuang announced the auctioning of the Channel Opening Pills, all of them looked forward to today. Searching all corners for demonic beast crystals, herbs and such things like precious treasures. All of that was for today. To be able to successfully bring the Channel Opening Pill back with them.
Even though these things were highly valuable, they still couldn’t compare to the Channel Opening Pill.
After all, these were things that could be obtained anywhere and at any time. On the other hand, you can’t get the opportunity to raise your cultivation any time.
Usually, there was no small amount of competition with cultivating at the Azure Water School. If they could even slightly increase the speed of their cultivation, then, in the long run, there would be double the benefits!
“Junior Sister Baili, when will the auction start?” One guy couldn’t wait any longer and asked.
The special enrollment dormitory certainly wasn’t small. However, with all the students gathered here, this feeling of them constantly squeezing forward was rather uncomfortable.
“Almost everyone has already gathered here. How about we start it now?”
“That’s right, let’s start the auction now!”
Following that guy’s words, everyone else also echoed the same sentiments.
In the entire Azure Water School, almost no one choose to give up on the auction of the Channel Opening Pill. At this moment, if the auction starts earlier, they would also have a little less competition.
Baili Hongzhuang’s lips held a thin beautiful smile. She lifted her hands slightly, indicating for everyone to quiet down.
Though she was faced with so many students at this moment, Baili Hongzhuang was still perfectly composed, not even show the slightest hint of nervousness.
“The number of students attending the auction today has greatly exceeded my expectations. With everyone arriving so early and gathering in such a crowded place, I feel very uncomfortable about it.”
After Baili Hongzhuang spoke, the originally noisy surroundings miraculously quieted down. Everyone’s gazes started centering on Baili Hongzhuang, carefully listening to her words.
Dibei Chen and the others eyed Baili Hongzhuang. She seems to possess a kind of power that calms people.
Just a random gesture, a casual word, would be enough to attract everyone’s attention.
This was a very special kind of ability. This kind of ability was also called leadership. It was not something that anyone could have.
Everyone nodded. Baili Hongzhuang had said what they thought in their hearts.
Not only did Baili Hongzhuang not expect there to be so many students coming, even they themselves didn’t think of it.
They also heard that many students that have gone out have quickly returned when they heard this piece of news. Even many students in closed door cultivation have ended their seclusion.
It was precisely because of this that the number of students attending the auction was so high. Even when the Principal called for a morning assembly, there weren’t this many people
“Thus, I’ve decided to change the auction venue to the Morning Assembly Plaza. I have to trouble everyone to move there.”
Baili Hongzhuang’s face held a bit of regret. Everyone hurried here so early, yet now they had to move again. Inevitably there would be some resentment.
Yet this was the only way for the following auction to proceed smoothly.
However, after everyone heard Baili Hongzhuang’s words, they didn’t complain. Instead, one by one, they turned and headed towards the Morning Assembly Plaza.
Compared to blocking the entrance to the special enrollment dormitory, it was obvious that the Morning Assembly Plaza was much more comfortable.
Moreover, everyone also understood in their hearts that it was not yet the time Baili Hongzhuang said the auction would start. It was just that they were impatient and came too early.
Looking at the crowd’s actions, Baili Hongzhuang’s smile widened by a few degrees.
The students of the Azure Water School were indeed dragons and phoenixes amongst men, their quality was also extremely high.
As the crowd went to the Morning Assembly Plaza, Baili Hongzhuang and others began to move out as well.
Bai Junyu’s would wasn’t fully healed so he originally should’ve stayed in his room to prevent his injury from getting any worse.
But nobody would want to miss out on such a lively scene and stay at home, so he immediately went to the auction with Xia Zhiqing.
Although Xia Zhiqing wasn’t ever interested in Bai Junyu’s chatter, since he was an injured man, her attitude towards him was a little bit nicer.
By the time Baili Hongzhuang and the others arrived at the Morning Assembly Plaza, Dongfang Yu was already there waiting for them.
Baili Hongzhuang smiled when she saw Dongfang Yu, “Senior Dongfang, did the Vice Prinicipal agree?”
Dongfang Yu nodded, “The Vice Principal is always easy to deal with and naturally didn’t have a problem.”
“That’s good.”
Baili Hongzhuang was relieved, directly jumping onto the high platform.
Dibei Chen and the others also jumped on. Baili Hongzhuang was in the middle and they stood on both sides beside her.
Below the platform, the students had already raised their heads in anticipation, eager for the auction to quickly begin.
The next moment, Baili Hongzhuang glanced at the time and announced, “It’s time for the auction to begin!”
Hearing this, everybody in the audience cheered. They were all waiting for the auction.
Azure Water School’s Morning Assembly Plaza was facing the school’s gate. Outside the entrance, many cultivators could be seen streching their necks to see what was happening inside.
Although they truly wanted the Channel Opening Pill, because Baili Hongzhuang made it so only Azure Water School students could bid for it, they had no chance at all to fight for it.
But even knowing they had no chance, they still didn’t want to miss out on such a lively event.
When the auction was over, they could find whoever managed to get the Channel Opening Pill and then perhaps, they’d be able to get an opportunity.
“I believe that everybody knows how the auction will be conducted this time.”
Sunlight shone on Baili Hongzhuang’s body as her beautiful face glowed with confedince. It was an unforgettable sight.
Everybody stared at Baili Hongzhuang on the stage. Every movement of hers was filled with grace worthy of admiration.
“This auction, because its held within our school and we’re all cultivators, we won’t be using gold coins to bid.
We’ll be bidding with the same prices, but everybody must use either demonic beast crystals, pill ingredients, or cultvation related treasures.
Everybody nodded. They’ve all already heard about the requirements and collected treasures everywhere to use for the auction.
Xia Zhiqing frowned, confused. “I know how the auction works, but the things everyone takes out will be different. It’s hard to convert in item’s value into gold coins, so how will that work?”
Bai Junyu shook his head, embarassed. He also didn’t understand.
He had only seen auctions where gold coins were used to bid and had never experinced this kind of auction.
Liu Qinyue’s eyes were also confused, this…… how do you judge this?
“Dongfang, can you ask if Baili Hongzhuang needs help with anything?” Gong Shaoqing asked slowly.
Baili Hongzhuang’s way of conducting the auction was really too strange, so a lot of problems would probably arise along the way.
Dibei Chen nodded slightly, about to ask when Baili Hongzhaung’s voice suddenly echoed again.
