Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 100: Without a doubt at any cost
All eyes were on the projector screen inside the dark auction venue as the video played.
Waves emerged from the roaring, vast, and limitless sea, as it spread and surrounded the remote island like an inlaid mosaic jewel. The sight of an eagle drifting and swooping down to a remote island. It was a large, quiet island measuring several square kilometers, with rows of hills, lush greenery, and trees, and trees, as well as the chirping of beautiful birds and brilliant flowers with groups of butterflies flying around to play on them.
A European-style castle stands majestically on the central peak of the island as a smooth path at the top of the hill branches off into 3 areas, the road leading to the castle, one lane to the nearest parking lot, and the others to the plane parking lot .
Looking through the isolated island landscape, the stunning scenery finds 9 ranges of hills spreading out to sea. A small European-style pavilion is built at the end of each hill as each hill has a path along the slope that connects to the sea area with a private pier, where several passenger ships are moored.
“Nine Dragons Spitting Beads?”
“How is it possible?”
Tang Xiu's pupils contracted nonstop as bursts of disbelief shot out from his eyes. His body trembled slightly as storm surges struck within his heart nonstop.
When he was in the Eternal World, he once possessed a precious land with this great Feng Shui pattern. That place had a rich Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi, with a strong and thick spiritual energy. Cultivating in that place would definitely double the yield for half of the effort. But that place is called “The Secret Area of the Nine Spitting Dragons” there.
Video playback ends.
The lights at the auction site were rekindled, followed by the voice of the auctioneer speaking with a shallow smile, “We have seen the video. It was the last auctioned item for this auction today. The Island of the Nine Dragons is located in the Pacific Ocean near another island called South Bird Island, which is 2,000 nautical miles from each other. ”
“This private island was originally owned by the owner of the European Financial Consortium. However, it is unfortunate that after the island has been developed for 2.5 years, the owners of the Financial Consortium have no choice but to sell this private island due to special circumstances. And it just so happened that the Big Boss of this auction had a good relationship with the owner of this private island, so the owner entrusted the auction rights to us. ”
“I believe that every guest who participates in this Redbud Violet Auction is one of the richest and powerful people in our country, and I am sure everyone is interested in this Feng Shui precious island. So, without further ado, the auction for this private island will begin now! ”
“Basic price is 500 million yuan, and each bid increase should be no less than 10 million. And now the auction officially begins. ”
Along with the ending of the auctioneer's voice, the hundreds of people below the stage participating in the auction spoke in whispers. After all, this was related to a 500 million business transaction. Although they were wealthy, but 500 million was not a small amount, even for them.
“Private island it is very good.”
A slight smiling expression was thrown onto Miao Wentang's face. But he did not want to compete in the bidding for this island. He glanced at Tang Xiu by his side before he turned his gaze the other way and looked at Shao Mingzhen. He then asked with a smile, “If I remember correctly, you are planning to buy a luxury home abroad, right? How about that? Do you have any interest? ”
Shao Mingzhen was silent for a while before slowly shaking her head and saying, “The floor price of this private island is indeed not high. If it can be bought for 500 million and then sold afterwards, you can still make money from it. And this, everyone is very clear about it. So I thought that even if it had to be sold for 1 billion, I don't think I can afford it. I'm not one of the local bosses, so there's no way I can be compared to you. So, I'll just watch and enjoy the fun! ”
Miao Wantang smiled and said, “Yes, if you really want to buy it, I can lend you some money. But I can't get more than 1 billion liquid capital. ”
Shao Mingzhen laughed lightly and replied, “Well, I'll see first!”
Tang Xiu stood up as he went to the back corner of the auction venue and then dialed the number.

Star City's.
Chen Zhizhong had just bought a villa near Gazebo King Villa in South Gate Town. As she sat cross-legged in her study room, she carefully practiced the cultivation methods and techniques that Tang Xiu had taught her. He used to be a martial arts practitioner, but what he had cultivated before was True Qi cultivation, which was very different from immortal cultivation methods and techniques.
However, the Great Dao had many paths, with each path being unique but leading to the same origin.
Due to the previous foundation, he was now trying hard to turn True Qi into Origin Qi.
“Ring ring ..”
The phone suddenly rang and suddenly woke Chen Zhizhong from her cultivation practice. A slight anger immediately surfaced on his skin as he quickly grabbed his phone and looked to the caller ID on the screen. Then, the angry expression quickly disappeared without a trace, and was replaced with a respectful expression as he then pressed the answer button.
“Master, are you looking for me?”
“I need money. More is better. How much money can you transfer in 10 minutes? ”
“…”
For half a minute Chen Zhizhong was silent. His mind was endlessly thinking about it deeply. Only after half a minute had passed did he reply, “About 3 billion yuan. The time is too narrow, if you can give half a day, I can collect up to 5 billion or more. ”
Tang Xiu said, “I'll send you your bank account number. 10 minutes later, transfer 3 billion yuan to My account. ”
“Iya nih!”
Chen Zhizhong quickly complied and no longer thought to continue practicing when she started making phone calls without stopping.
****
Jingmen Island, at the auction site.
Shao Mingzhen and Miao Wentang were having a private chat as they suddenly realized that Tang Xiu had left his seat. They immediately looked at each other. Tang Xiu had left his chair earlier, made a phone call and then returned to participate in the auction of 1000-year-old wild ginseng.
“Brother Miao, could Tang Xiu also want to participate in this auction? Does he want this private island? ”A astonished expression flashed in Shao Mingzhen's eyes as she asked in a whisper.
Miao Wentang whispered back, “That can be quite possible. You also saw his serious expression. I can say it for sure. However, I really didn't get it. He was so young, why would he want to escape and buy a private island in the Pacific Ocean? Could it be that he wanted to move there to seclude himself and cut ties with the rest of the world? ”
Shao Mingzhen let out a forced smile and said, “I didn't catch him, moreover, I can't understand him in the slightest! To be honest, looking at Tang Xiu's age and appearance, he gave me conflicting feelings. Basically, I can't figure it out. He is too young for a man, but his words, behavior, and actions are not what a young man has. Instead, didn't he look like a deep and wise old man? ”
“He was a genius or a strange monster,” Miao Wentang said his last decision.
Tang Xiu returned to his seat and quietly waited for the funds to be transferred to his account. Although he saw a strange expression on Miao Wentang and Shao Mingzhen's skin, but he did not speak or explain anything.
“510 million.” A new rich fat middle-aged man was the first to open the bidding.
“520 million.”
“550 million.”
“…”
This was the final round of the auction, and only a few people were involved in this auction compared to the previous one. However there are some bidder in number, but the price is constantly increasing. And one of the most excited and excited in the bidding was the fat middle-aged man wearing a gold chain. 7 or 8 minutes later, the price had risen to 1.48 billion.
“1.5 billion!”
A mouthful of sweat seeped into the forehead of the fat middle-aged man as he asked for the offer.
“2 billion!”
An old man in his 70s raised the sign in his hand and shouted.
The fat middle-aged man suddenly turned his head as he looked at the old man with eyes full of fury. He breathed heavily a few times before shouting again, “2.1 billion.”
Until this price, there were only old men and fat middle-aged men. The complexion of the old man was expressionless as if he was closing his eyes to the angry look and face of the fat middle-aged man while shouting his offer once again, “2.2 billion!”
“2.3 billion!”
The plump middle-aged man's voice turned a little hoarse, but he still insisted on bidding.
However, his anger was immediately replaced with happiness, as the old man calmly shook his head and no longer bid.
“Hah ..”
The fat middle-aged man wiped the sweat on his forehead and secretly felt relieved inside. Actually that was his limit, if the price were to rise again, he would have to leave it.
The corner of the auctioneer's mouth curved as he smiled with sparkling eyes and said, “The price of the Nine Dragons Island has risen to 2.3 billion yuan. This is indeed a terrible amount of money, but I still think that some people have not bid. After all, this was several tens of square kilometers of island with construction and development completed. If this private island was used accordingly, it would definitely be a paradise on earth, the only kingdom for its owner. ”
“There are no public laws and laws on the Island of the Nine Dragons, the ruler of the island is the king, the only ruler of the land. If the owner of the island wants it, he can apply international law to establish a new state. ”
“This island is a dreamland, heaven. Now, I want to ask once again, is there no one who wants to increase the bid? No one wants to be the owner of this Island of the Nine Dragons? ”
Deadly silence and silence filled the entire auction venue.
Everyone's watching each other. The auctioneer's words incited them and burned their emotions and desires completely. But still, they cannot get so much liquidity, for their company, they will be greatly affected and will greatly affect their company and break them!
Heart's pounding!
But they were attacked with helplessness!
This is the deepest and truest portrait to depict their hearts.
Traces of disappointed expressions were revealed on the elegant face of the auctioneer, Xiao Ai. Although the price of 2.3 billion had already exceeded his expectations, he still hoped to sell the island at a higher price.
Instead, the fat middle-aged man was in the opposite mood as a smile appeared on his face; a proud expression could be seen on his skin. His vision swept over the final bidder, the old man, and then subconsciously glanced at Tang Xiu.
“2.5 billion!”
Tang Xiu's voice finally echoed inside the auction venue.
In just a split second, everyone inside the auction venue showed an extremely strange expression. Not even one of them had ever thought that Tang Xiu, who could not afford 1000-year-old wild ginseng before, was now participating in this private island auction. He even bid at a very high price.
Does he have a lot of money?
Where did he get so much courage?
Up next…
Who her?
Every question comes up and comes to everyone's mind.
Miao Wentang, Shao Mingzhen, and even the immortal-like Dao Master Ziyi who sat beside Tang Xiu, were shocked and shaken by Tang Xiu's bravery. They looked at Tang Xiu in disbelief. And never once did they expect Tang Xiu to be able to make so much money!
Shao Mingzhen gently touched Miao Wentang and whispered: “You persuaded him not to act rashly in this place. The big boss hidden behind this auction is extremely powerful, and someone we should avoid offending. ”
Note:
It's been 8 months since I started translating Mandarin novels. The first novel is the Demon God I've dropped due to some trolls flooding into Me's emails and alleging that I deliberately slowed down the steps to get the donation money, he said, the second was The Lame Daoist Priest which was continued by Pangpang. The third was the Great Dao Commander who was now suspended and waiting for the issue of its publication to be resolved. And the last one is this, Back from the Eternal World. Every chapter I translate is free and I never get paid for it. Our team never got a dime including advertising revenue, as it all went into server upgrades and maintenance. I feel the need to tell all readers about this, just in case anyone wonders if we received financial compensation for our work.
However, despite that record, we have reached 100 chapters to Return from the Eternal World. I don't know if I can keep translating this novel or not because of publishing issues and stuff. However, I might slow down the translation speed to 7 chapters in a week to a maximum of 12 chapters with sponsored chapters. That's because I need to carefully plan my schedule in real life. I have a family with 7 children (5 of them adopted), and I also work and have to manage my business for 8-12 hours a day, 5 days a week.
I had no plans to accept the donation at first. However, recently I found another use for donation money, that is, donating money back to the social activities I currently do in real life. To all the donors who have donated to the sponsored chapters, I sincerely thank you all. And I'd like to let you know that the donations I received, have all been donated back to the orphanage where I adopted My foster children. So, once again, I thank Me and on their behalf.
For the rest of the novels beside the RFTIW, I will continue translating them if some issues about rights have been resolved. And to be honest, the RFTIW might as well enter this “hak” circle. However, whatever happens, will be ... because I am not too bothered if I have to leave the novel I am translating for stealing, hunting, or due to translation and publishing issues. I don't have a novel, nor do I have any intention of having meaningless talks and fighting over it.
