Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future
Chapter 355 - 355 The Auction Of The Medicinal Cauldron355 The Auction Of The Medicinal Cauldron
“If you obtain a flame crystal, then you will definitely become a powerful blacksmith in the future, and by then—”
Shen Fei waved his hand. “I’m sorry, I don’t want to think about these things for the time being.”
Hearing Shen Fei’s words, Wang Hai sighed and shook his head. “Sigh. Sir, with all due respect, the flame crystal is helpful in forging divine weapons, but it can also make the forging difficult. If you get a flame crystal, it will definitely be of great benefit to your future!”
Shen Fei laughed without saying anything. With his current strength, he would not be able to stand the overwhelming energy of the flame crystal. If he used it recklessly, it would only backfire on him.
Seeing Shen Fei’s firm attitude, Wang Hai shook his head and said, “Then, since you are not interested in the flame crystal, please take care!”
“Wait!”
Just as Wang Hai was about to leave, Shen Fei stopped him, “I have something to ask you.”
Wang Hai stopped in his tracks. He turned back around to face Shen Fei and smiled. “Go on, Sir.”
Shen Fei hesitated for a moment before he asked, “Where’s the auction house in the Royal Trading District?”
“An auction house?” Wang Hai had a look of surprise on his face.
Shen Fei nodded. “I’m planning to attend tonight’s auction.”
Wang Hai seemed to realize something and said with a bright smile, “So you want to auction something, Sir! Please follow me.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShen Fei followed Wang Hai to the auction house in the Royal Trading District. The Royal Trading District’s auction house occupied a large area and was divided into five floors. Each floor’s layout was like a huge square. At this moment, there was a crowd surging at the entryway. They were packed so tightly that everyone’s shoulders were touching.
Shen Fei followed Wang Hai into the auction house. The space of the corridors here was rather narrow, and there was only enough space for one person to walk through. The four walls of the floors were concave like a hemisphere, and seemed to wrap around a person.
The ground of the square was covered with thick stone slabs, and there were plenty of tables and chairs. On the tables were exquisite food and wine, and the setting seemed quite casual.
To one side of the auction hall, there was a high platform with a red wooden table on it. A female attendant stood beside the table. She was responsible for registrations and payment collections. On the right side of the table, there was a metal board with the words ‘auction’ written on it in black.
“This is the auction house.” Wang Hai pointed at the high platform in the distance and smiled. “Sir, let’s find a place to sit down and talk.”
Shen Fei nodded and walked to a row of seats not far away with Wang Hai. After they took their seats, Wang Hai took out a stack of papers and passed them to Shen Fei.
He smiled and said, “Sir, these are all detailed information about the auction. You need to pay attention to not bid in the auction, because once you bid a sky-high price, it is very likely to attract malicious competition from others.”
“I understand.” Shen Fei nodded again.
“Sir, this is your number plate. You can present at the VIP room on the second floor after the bidding,” Wang Hai said with a smile.
“Understood.”
“I still have other things to do, so I’ll be taking my leave first. Goodbye, Sir.” Wang Hai cupped his hands to Shen Fei.
After Wang Hai left, Shen Fei picked up the number plate and checked the information on the items that would be auctioned tonight.
The rules of the auction were very simple. The items to be auctioned could not be sold for more than 100 million, or it would be considered a forfeiture.
In addition, there were dozens of platforms set up in the auction house. For each bidding, one could bid using either their own weapons, armor, cultivation techniques, spirit beast cores, demonic cores, or even medicinal herbs and other treasures.
‘It’s really quite a fortune,’ Shen Fei thought to himself.
The items in this auction are all pretty good. Although there was a huge difference between what was considered a priceless treasure back in his world, and the treasures in this current world, they were all rare to Shen Fei.
Moreover, Shen Fei could faintly feel that the further the auction went, the more valuable the items would be. This was common sense as people usually save the best for last.
He still was not sure if the Skyburn Cauldron would be the final item of the night. However, with how precious the cauldron was, that could easily be the case.
“Wjew!” After taking a deep breath and throwing all distracting thoughts to the back of his mind, Shen Fei’s eyes gradually brightened, “The first item to be auctioned is…”
Just as Shen Fei was deep in thought, the auction officially started.
…
With the auctioneer’s impassioned speech, the entire auction was coming to a close as the final item was presented.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the last item for the auction is the Skyburn Cauldron! The Skyburn medicinal cauldron is one of the supplementary medicinal ingredients required to concoct the seventh-tier healing pill, the origin breakthrough pill,” the auctioneer said in a clear voice.
As the auctioneer’s voice fell, the auction hall immediately burst into loud noises. Countless shocked gazes were cast over, and every patron’s eyes were filled with greed. The preciousness of the Skyburn Cauldron was known by all!
After seeing the Skyburn Cauldron, many of them became very eager to start bidding.
“It’s actually the Skyburn Cauldron. It seems my luck is really good today!”
Under everyone’s gaze, a fat man rushed up the stage and came to the side of the auctioneer. The man wore a gray robe and had a mustache. His face was dark, and he looked like a profiteer.
A middle-aged man walked up and said with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, “Hehe, Old Wang, I didn’t expect that even you would be excited.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Hehe, Brother Liu is here too.” The fat man chuckled.
“I was entrusted by a friend to verify the authenticity of the Skyburn Cauldron. I’m also taking part in this auction to see if there’s any chance of obtaining a sixth-tier monster core.” The man referred to as Brother Liu chuckled as though he was used to being treated like the center of attention.
“Brother Liu, you must be joking.” The fat man sneered.
“I’ll pay one million!”
“I’ll pay two million!”
“Three million!”
“Four million!”
In just a few seconds, the price was about to reach five million!
“Tsk, tsk, this is what a rich man is.” Looking at the representatives of the various families who were frantically raising their placards to bid, Wang Hai could not help but click his tongue as he watched from behind the scenes.
As expected of billionaire tycoons. The resources of these representatives were extraordinary!
Just as everyone was frantically raising their boards to bid, an indifferent voice suddenly said, “Eight million!”
In an instant, the entire place fell so quiet that a pin drop could be heard. Following the source of the sound, everyone’s eyes locked onto Shen Fei.
Shen Fei slowly stood up. His gaze swept across the various representatives as he sneered. “I bid eight million!”
Everyone gasped and stared at Shen Fei with a dumbfounded expression.
...
“He doubled the bid in one go!”
“He must be mental!”
Brother Liu frowned as he stared at Shen Fei. “What’s this kid’s background?”
