Chapter 138 - Purple Flesh LingZhi
Yun Qianyu had never been to the Xuantian Auction House. Since it was her first time here today, she could only sit in an ordinary seat on the first floor.
However, when she was about to enter the first-floor area, Xiao Yechen, who was following Xiao Jiuyuan, said, “Feather, come with us. We have a private room.”
Immediately after saying that, Xiao Yechen looked toward Xiao Jiuyuan for approval.
Xiao Jiuyuan’s private room was the best room in this auction house; it was also quite large, so it wouldn’t be any more crowded if Yun Qianyu came as well.
That was why Xiao Yechen wanted Yun Qianyu to go with them. However, he was worried Xiao Jiuyuan would not approve. That was why he quickly looked at Xiao Jiuyuan after inviting Yun Qianyu.
Both Xiao Yechen and Yun Qianyu thought that Xiao Jiuyuan would oppose it. However, Xiao Jiuyuan didn’t seem to care and just walked all the way to the second floor, as if he had not heard their conversation.
However, for Xiao Yechen, this was a good enough indication since not objecting meant accepting.
Happy with that, Xiao Yechen quickly went to Yun Qianyu and said, “Feather, let’s go. The rooms on the second floor are way better compared to the first floor. You can easily have a good view of what’s going on below.”
At that moment, the front seats on the first floor had already been taken. There were some seats in the back but it was impossible for people at the back to see the items being auctioned.
Yun Qianyu thought about it for a while and accepted Xiao Yechen’s offer. First of all, the ground floor seats were really not good. The second reason was that she still had money in Xiao Jiuyuan’s hand. In case she wanted to bid for something other than the Essence Cleansing pill and Xiao Jiuyuan didn’t agree to it, she could argue with him face to face.
Yun Qianyu followed Xiao Yechen all the way to the second floor.
Many people saw this scene and began to gossip about it.
Soon, everyone in the auction house was settled in.
The auctioneer appeared and the auction officially began. “Welcome to the monthly auction of Xuantian Auction House. First of all, I’d like to give everyone some good news. There are a lot of good items today so no one will be disappointed!”
The auctioneer was good at warming up the crowd. His opening remarks immediately livened up the crowd. Someone on the ground floor even jeered, “Stop talking nonsense. Let’s start the auction!”
“Yeah, we want to see the goods, don’t be bluffing now!”
“Yes, let’s start the auction. I hope I can get what I want.”
Happy with the crowd’s reaction, the auctioneer chuckled with satisfaction, and waved his hand, “The first item to be auctioned today is a 300 years old medicinal ingredient. It is a good raw material for alchemy and medicine… A Purple Flesh Lingzhi.”
With the auctioneer’s words, someone came out with a tray from behind the platform. The tray was covered with a red cloth so that the contents of the tray were hidden from view. However, the auctioneer did not make people wait for too long. He reached out and swiftly lifted the red cloth. Under it was really a Purple Flesh Lingzhi, although people couldn’t tell if it really was a 300-year-old item at first glance.
However, items sold here were usually quality assured. That was why no one worried about the authenticity of the items.
Soon after revealing the item, the auctioneer announced, “5000 Liang is the starting price, please start your bidding.”
Immediately people began to bid for the item. After all, a 300 years old Purple Flesh LingZhi was rare. Moreover, the item was the best medicinal ingredient for making elixir pills for healing. Even if the person was not an alchemist, the Purple Flesh LingZhi was still a very good item to recover a person’s Qi.
