C108 Sit and watch the auction
"Stop! Qi Tai, this is the purple-gold VIP. "
Ye Feng was about to force his way up to the third floor when suddenly, a panicked shout came from behind him.
The pressure on his head immediately disappeared without a trace.
"Tap, tap, tap!" A series of hurried footsteps came from behind.
Ye Feng looked back. A middle-aged man appeared on the stairs to the third floor with a flustered expression. Following behind him was the waiter, also breathing rapidly. For a Qi Condensation cultivator to do this, the waiter must have done his best.
"Hello, esteemed guest, I am the manager of the Treasure Pavilion in Chu Yun City, Zhao Qian." The middle-aged man bowed to Ye Feng.
"No need to be so polite." When Ye Feng saw that the manager of the Treasure Pavilion had arrived, he handed his own Purplish Gold VIP Card over.
"Please verify the authenticity of this Purplish Gold VIP Card." Ye Feng knew it was true, but he was still polite and passed the Purplish Gold VIP Card over to Zhao Qian.
Zhao Qian's face was solemn as he held the Purplish Gold VIP Card in his hands. After carefully inspecting it, he passed both hands to Ye Feng and said, "Esteemed customer, your identity has already been verified. Please come up to the third floor's VIP seats."
After he finished speaking, Zhao Qian led the way, leading Ye Feng to the highest VIP seats on the third floor.
The waiter obediently stayed on the second floor. He wasn't qualified to go up to the third floor.
Arriving at the third floor, Ye Feng looked around the private room. It could even be described as luxurious.
A faint fragrance came from the room that was made of purple sandalwood.
There was a cultivator in his fifties standing at the entrance to a private room on the third floor. He exuded the aura of an expert, giving off an aura of majesty.
The cultivator stopped the two in their tracks, "Please show your Purplish Gold VIP Card."
Zhao Qian looked at Ye Feng apologetically, "Esteemed customer, this is the rule of the Treasure Pavilion, please forgive me."
Ye Feng smiled and handed the Purplish Gold VIP Card over to the cultivator.
After the cultivator's verification was complete, he bowed towards Ye Feng and said, "Cloudburst City's Treasure Pavilion's Qi Tai is in charge of your safety. If you have any instructions, feel free to speak." This cultivator was the one who exerted pressure on Ye Feng, Qi Tai.
Ye Feng could not help but take another look. A cultivator of the aurine stage was standing guard at the door for him. This was the equivalent level to a Sect Leader of the Wanghai Sect.
Just thinking about it made him extremely happy. A Sect Leader level cultivator guarding the entrance was something he had never even dared to think about before.
"There's nothing else. I just want to ask, if I want to auction something, what should I do?" Ye Feng asked. Since it was an auction, there must be something he liked.
It was okay on the first floor, but when he heard the item being auctioned, if he was interested, he could raise a small sign next to him.
"If you like anything, as long as you press a button next to you, you don't need to call out prices to get it directly at the starting price. And when you are paying, you only need to pay half of the price." Zhao Qian said patiently.
Oh? The Purplish Gold VIP Card had this function! Ye Feng was very surprised. Not only was there an item that could be auctioned at the lowest price, but one that could be priced at half the price. This was a true purple gold VIP, the treatment he was getting was definitely not ordinary.
After understanding all of this, Ye Feng entered the VIP box.
The cultivator from aurine stage, Qi Tai, stood guard at the door, acting as Ye Feng's bodyguard.
Zhao Qian, on the other hand, respectfully stood at the door, waiting for Ye Feng's orders. To Zhao Qian, perhaps he would not even be able to see a purple-gold VIP once in his entire life, and such an esteemed guest had an absolutely revered and revered position in the Treasure Pavilion. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that if Ye Feng wasn't satisfied, the headquarters would dismiss him and impose strict sanctions.
However, if the purple gold honored guest was satisfied with just a single word from him, Zhao Qian's future would be even more promising.
Looking at the closed wooden door, Zhao Qian was deeply moved. Ye Feng was so young, yet he was actually a purple gold guest of the Treasure Pavilion. Truly, one cannot judge a book by its cover, and Ye Feng's cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment stage.
This made Zhao Qian a little confused. All of the diamond level guests in the Cloud City's Treasure Pavilion were also several tens of years old.
Previously, he didn't seem to understand the uses of Diamond VIP Card and Purplish Gold VIP Card. Sitting on the first floor, he felt that the first floor was too noisy, so he went to the second floor. After that, he went up to the third floor due to curiosity.
Thinking about it, Zhao Qian jumped in fright. This young man couldn't have stolen the VIP card, right?
Fortunately, there was a rule in the Treasure Pavilion, and that was that the VIP card did not recognize anyone. Otherwise, if something were to go wrong, a small steward of the Treasure Pavilion in Chu Yun City would not have enough brains.
Before long, all the guests had arrived and the auction officially began.
Ye Feng was sitting on a comfortable chair. The table in front of him was filled with all kinds of strange fruits. Each one of them contained an extremely strong spirit energy. Just by swallowing one, he would be able to cultivate for a few days.
Holding the strange fruit, Ye Feng did not hold back as he ate while looking at the auction stage at the front of the auction house.
This muslin had a good perspective and could clearly see the entire auction place, but the people outside could not see inside. What was even more amazing was that Ye Feng could hear the outside but not the inside.
A auctioneer in his fifties walked up onto the stage. The entire auction suddenly fell silent. Everyone knew that the auction had begun.
The auctioneer lightly rapped the hammer on the stage. "Dong!" A clear voice entered the ears of every cultivator participating in the auction.
"The Treasure Pavilion Auction is officially starting!"
The auctioneer said loudly, "Next, we will begin the first item of the auction!"
With the curtain raised behind him, a waiter stepped forward with a tray in his hand. A tray covered with a red cloth was placed on the table by the auction table. The servant then moved aside.
"The first item is a book, Great Sun Fist Art!" As soon as the auctioneer's words left his mouth, it drew countless cries of surprise. It was clear that this Great Solar Fist Art was very famous, and many cultivators below it had heard of it.
"This is the cultivation technique of the Dugu Family. I never thought that the Treasure Pavilion would be auctioning it. I didn't think that the Dugu Family would come looking for me." A cultivator said in a low voice.
One of the cultivators sitting beside him said, "Brother, you don't understand this, right? The Treasure Pavilion only cares about auctions, they don't ask about the origin of the items, even if it's a loot. Unless someone has the power to suppress the Treasure Pavilion, they can only watch as they auction their own items."
Ye Feng was surprised, wasn't the Treasure school selling their goods like this? Could it be that they weren't afraid of retaliation?
In fact, it was not. When the Treasure Pavilion auctioned any item, although they did not ask about the origin of the item, with their strength, they knew very well where each item came from. If those super power's items were auctioned, the Treasure Pavilion would have to make sure that it was not stolen goods.
However, to a power like the Dugu Family, they were untouchable behemoths in the eyes of the common monk. In the eyes of the Treasure Pavilion, they were not considered super power, so they did not have any concerns.
"The starting price is ten high-grade pure crystal s." When the auctioneer announced the starting price, the auction officially began.
In fact, this ancient book was more than just ten high-grade pure crystal. The Treasure Pavilion did so to obtain a good start, and if the first item was sold, it would be very difficult to complete, or even the beginning of bad luck.
As for the Treasure Auction House's auction, high-grade pure crystal were always used as units to bid, the minimum price being five high-grade pure crystal.
"Fifteen!" Someone shouted a price.
The auctioneer was very satisfied, this cultivator was not an object set by the Treasure Pavilion, but a true participant of the auction.
As a business group that had existed for many years, the Treasure Pavilion had their own unique way of managing this auction. For example, during this kind of auction, the Treasure Pavilion would always set up a few backers amongst the scattered seats, completely depending on the eyes of the auctioneer. At the most critical moment, they would follow the auctioneer and bid, raising the price of the items.
"Twenty!" Immediately, someone followed suit and called out a price.
"Thirty!" Before the cultivator's voice landed, the price had already increased threefold.
"Forty!" These people immediately gave up on bidding for five yuan each time, directly becoming ten yuan each time. It seemed that the Dugu Family's Great Solar Fist Art was a very popular auction item.
As the price skyrocketed, when the price of the Great Solar Fist Art reached one hundred high-grade pure crystal, many people quit the fight.
Every cultivator wanted to obtain these techniques, especially if it came from the hands of a large aristocratic family, it was a priceless treasure. However, it was a realistic and embarrassing situation, and every technique had its own unique requirements, not every cultivator was suitable for cultivation.
Therefore, because of the high price, or because they felt that the Great Solar Fist manual was not suitable for them to cultivate, they all withdrew from the competition.
"One hundred and twenty!"
"One hundred and thirty!"
The price continued to soar.
"One hundred and forty!"
"One hundred and fifty!"
In the end, only two cultivators remained to fight over the Great Sun Fist manual.
"That's the head steward of the Dugu Family, Dugu Yun!" Some cultivators recognized one of them.
"This is going to be interesting. The Dugu Family is obviously going to take back this Great Solar Fist Art."
"That's right, no matter which family loses their cultivation technique, it is still a shameful matter. No matter how many crystals they spend, they have to bid them back. This is a matter of face for the Dugu Family."
The other cultivator's face was covered by a veil; it was obvious that he did not want others to recognize his true appearance.
Ye Feng looked at the two people calling out prices with great interest. He felt that this was a very interesting thing and was very nervous at the critical moment.
"160!" Dugu Yun was not willing to give up on the Great Solar Fist Art.
"One hundred and eighty!" That cultivator was even more vicious, immediately adding another twenty high-grade pure crystal.
F * ck! Ye Feng couldn't understand, could it be that this cultivator's family was mining and had so many crystals that he couldn't spend all of them, so he casually went to fight for a manual.
"One hundred and ninety!" Solitary Fortune was a little furious, he looked at the Great Solar Fist Technique on the auction stage with his red eyes, and then looked at the masked cultivator as he shouted fiercely.
"One hundred and ninety-five!" The masked cultivator seemed to be relaxed, but the increase in price obviously did not have any confidence.
Ye Feng couldn't see that cultivator's face, but he could feel that the aura of that cultivator was somewhat familiar.
"Two hundred!" Dugu Yun was practically shouting his price up.
Everyone's gaze turned towards the masked cultivator, waiting for him to pay another high price.
