Pushing open the door of the auction house in Dark Night City, Xiao Chen walked in nervously under the vigilant gazes of several fully armed guards.
As soon as he entered the clubhouse, Xiao Chen felt the fluctuation of spiritual power in the air. It was as if he was surrounded by layers of spiritual stones. The spiritual power in his body seemed to have become active and floated happily in his sea of consciousness.
It seemed that there were quite a lot of spiritual items in this auction. Xiao Chen sighed in his heart. Such a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation could only be released by a large number of spiritual items stacked together.
Xiao Chen's eyes swept across the low-key yet luxurious spacious hall and landed on a room with the words " Appraisal Office " printed on the door. He pinched the spirit core of the priceless second-grade spirit beast, the Great Butterfly Moth, and encouraged himself. He pursed his lips and walked in.
The room was a little empty. There was a large counter in the middle of the room. Behind the counter, there was an old man with white hair and beard sitting on a chair with his eyes closed. When he heard the sound of the door opening, the old man raised his head and looked at the person who was wrapped in a cloak. His eyes flickered for a moment before he spoke in an emotionless voice.
"Sir, what treasure do you intend to appraise in our auction house?”
"Yes, it's the spirit core of this large butterfly moth.”
A slightly hoarse voice came from the hood of the cloak. It sounded as if sand had rubbed against his throat. However, the old man with white hair and beard did not care at all. After hearing the words " Great Butterfly Moth ", all his attention was focused on the green crystal core that the cloaked man had thrown on the table.
"This is? The spirit core of a second grade spirit beast, the Great Butterfly Moth?"
The old man blinked his eyes in confusion, as if he couldn't believe his eyes. However, in the end, he carefully picked up the crystal core on the table and held it in his palm. His eyes moved over and quietly examined it for a while. Then, he closed his eyes and felt the spiritual energy fluctuations emitted from it. After that, his expression changed slightly, and his words were filled with reverence.
"Your Excellency, this is indeed the spirit core of a Second Grade Spirit Beast, the Great Butterfly Moth. May I ask if you intend to auction this spirit core?”
"Hmm, can you arrange for me to attend the auction in Dark Night City?”
" Sir, of course. After all, the spirit core of a Second Grade Spirit Beast, the Great Butterfly Moth, is no less valuable than the spirit core of a Third Grade Spirit Beast. It will be beneficial to our auction house if it appears in this Dark Night City auction, so..."
The old man hesitated for a moment, but he still frowned and made up his mind.
"Therefore, no matter how much the final auction price is, our auction house will give you the treatment of a VIP. We will only charge 5% of the auction price of your spirit core.”
Five percent? Xiao Chen was secretly shocked. The value of this Great Butterfly Moth Spirit Core was beyond his expectations. The benefits of auctioning it had actually caused the auction house to reduce the commission fee from twelve percent to five percent.
"Alright, then I'll come back to the auction tomorrow.”
"Sir, this is the VIP room ticket for tomorrow. Please keep it well. We welcome you to participate in the auction tomorrow. Once your item is successfully auctioned, our staff will pay you the money immediately.”
The old man smiled as he took out an admission ticket with a strange pattern from the drawer under the counter and handed it over.
"Yes."
Xiao Chen casually took the entrance ticket and felt the faint but clear spiritual energy fluctuations on the pattern drawn by the spirit stone powder. He did not stay and directly walked out of the room under the old man's respectful gaze.
After Xiao Chen's figure completely disappeared, a door suddenly opened behind the counter. A middle-aged man walked in, picked up the spirit core that Xiao Chen had left behind, and quietly pondered.
"The spirit core of the Great Butterfly Moth? Hehe, it seems that this small Dark Night City is full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons! Old Sun, what do you think?"
The old man stood in front of the middle-aged man with a hunched back. After hearing his question, he replied respectfully.
"Second Young Master, judging from the way that person concealed his identity and auctioned off such a precious spirit core, he should be a cultivator who traveled here. If we're careful, it won't affect our plan too much.”
"That's true, but it's better to be careful! After all…this is a plan that we've been preparing for nine years. Lin Potian, it's time for you to receive your retribution.”
The middle-aged man muttered in a low voice. When he said this name, endless hatred flashed in his eyes.
On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head.
The air began to be filled with moisture, as if it was a sign that spring rain was about to arrive. Everything in Chen Dong began to revive. Every step on the soil seemed to emit a fragrance.
Xiao Chen sucked in a cold breath and shrunk his body. Soon, he arrived at the auction venue where the auction was about to begin.
After showing the entrance ticket that the old man had given her, the smiling maid beside him instantly showed a fawning expression. She took the initiative to bring Xiao Chen into the VIP room that had been prepared for him in advance. On the way to the room, the pretty maid continued to tease Xiao Chen with her charming eyes.
Although he had inherited the mature soul of his previous life and wanted to bring this maid to his room to do it, the cruel reality of his body told Xiao Chen that he was still in a state where he could not do it even if he wanted to.
Enduring the torture, Xiao Chen entered the VIP room and quickly closed the door. He closed his eyes and panted for a while before he calmed down.
Opening his eyes, Xiao Chen fiercely looked down on the lustful heart that had been silent for a long time. He forced himself to shift his attention to the auction venue. The auction hadn't even started yet, but the ordinary seats below were already filled to the brim. The noisy noise poured into his ears, causing Xiao Chen, who liked peace, to frown.
Looking down through the transparent window, the auction venue was very large. There should be about 600 to 700 people sitting. In the center of the light gathering place, a gorgeous and charming woman wearing a red cheongsam was giving an opening speech to everyone in the venue with a soft and fragrant voice.
Soon, the auction began.
It was this mature and charming woman who came out to be the auctioneer. Amidst her charming voice that made countless men excited, the prices of the items that weren't too precious soared under the men's fiery gazes.
"Three hundred year old Earth Ghost Grass, starting bid is one hundred Black Crystal Coins.”
The first spiritual item with a starting price of more than a hundred Black Crystal Coins finally began to be auctioned. The prices of the following items also rose steadily. This Earth Ghost Grass was usually used to help people with weak spiritual power sense the existence of spiritual power more easily, and then absorb spiritual power to increase their cultivation. However, after the Earth Ghost Grass was more than three hundred years old, it had a special effect-stabilizing the mind and reducing the chance of Qi deviation during the breakthrough.
"I bid 200!"
"I bid 230!"
"I bid 300!"
┅┅
The final price was fixed at 360 Black Crystal Coins. With the auctioning of this high-priced fey, the curtains of the auction finally began to slowly open.
