Chapter 739: 60 Million
After looking for an inn to reside in, Li Fuchen and the group had a big feast. During the days on the silver airship, they had been eating rations, making everyone rather gloomy.
If the desire for good food couldn’t be satisfied, it was hard to achieve anything in cultivation.
Once they finished the feast, it was already night time.
Outside the city, there were roars of beasts, howls of spirits, and all sorts of terror.
On the next morning, Li Fuchen arrived at the auction hall that was going to host the auction.
“Dear customer, what do you need?” An attendant of the auction hall came over to welcome.
“I wish to sell something in the auction, ask your manager to come.” Li Fuchen replied.
Hearing the reply, the attendant didn’t call for the manager immediately. Instead, he said, “This auction has a very high standard. We aren’t accepting regular items. The base price wild need to be at least 50,000 high-grade spirit stones.”
“What about these?” Li Fuchen took out several heaven class mid-tier equipment.
The Saint Spirit Continent might be flourishing in martial dao, however, the demand was more than supply. Heaven class equipment was high in demand, even a regular heaven class low-tier equipment would cost thousands to tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones. A heaven class mid-tier equipment would be at least 50,000. In regular equipment stores, only heaven class low-tier equipment would be sold. Heaven class mid-tier equipment could only be found in top-class equipment stores. Furthermore, they would be sold as soon as they were put on sale.
“These are enough, enough.” The attendant quickly called for his manager.
This auction hall was called Long Rainbow Auction Hall, it was one of the assets of the Long Rainbow Merchant Guild.
As for the Long Rainbow Merchant Guild, it was famous throughout the Saint Spirit Continent and was backed by a saint clan.
After a short moment, a middle-aged manager who was at the 9th level of Law Phase Realm walked over. He had a short mustache and a rather dark complexion.
“My friend, I have the family name of Wang, please come inside.”
Manager Wang invited Li Fuchen into a small conference room.
“Alright.” Li Fuchen followed inside.
“My friend, bring out all of your treasures!” Manager Wang smiled and said.
Clang!
Li Fuchen took out a huge pile of items.
Manager Wang’s eyes narrowed. The number of items was truly huge. He met with many who wanted to sell their items in auctions, however, they didn’t even have 10% of what Li Fuchen possessed.
After a long moment, Manager Wang gave a base price for all these items and it was a total of 15 million high-grade spirit stones. It meant to say that the auction hall had to pay Li Fuchen 15 million high-grade spirit stones first. If the items were auctioned off for a higher price, they would follow up with another payment to Li Fuchen. Of course, they were also going to take a cut of the auction fees.
Originally, Manager Wang thought things were going to end like this. Who knew that Li Fuchen took out another item.
The treasure was none other than the heaven class high-tier cardinal artifact, White Bone Saint Crown.
“Heaven class high-tier cardinal artifact?” Manager Wang’s eyes widened while his breath had a faster pace.
Heaven class high-tier cardinal artifacts were treasures they all great emperors were fanatical about.
If a regular great emperor possessed a heaven class high-tier cardinal artifact, it was enough for them to enter the Great Emperor Rankings. They might even rank rather high.
If a ranked great emperor was to obtain a heaven class high-tier cardinal artifact, the great emperor’s rank would easily increase by ten times.
It wouldn’t be exaggerated to say that a single heaven class high-tier cardinal artifact was enough to replace all the treasures in front of Li Fuchen.
At this moment, Manager Wang had the idea to kill Li Fuchen to seize the treasure.
In fact, he had done it before, but he would see the opposition first. There were some that could be killed, while others shouldn’t be touched. Li Fuchen was obviously a person that shouldn’t be trifled with. He wasn’t able to kill Li Fuchen, however, this auction hall might be able to do so.
At this moment, Manager Wang’s eyes were closed as he had wavering eyes.
Li Fuchen was calmly sipping the tea. Since he dared to visit the auction hall, he was already prepared for the worst.
If Manager Wang dared to do something foolish, Li Fuchen would immediately kill them and leave the auction hall.
Li Fuchen believed that his strength wouldn’t be restrained even if there was a class 9 low-tier array trapping him.
After a long period of time, Manager Wang let out a huge breath and said, “This cardinal artifact’s base price is 30 million high-grade spirit stones.”
It also meant that the auction hall would need to pay Li Fuchen an advance of 45 million high-grade spirit stones.
It was 45 million high-grade spirit stones. Once the auction ended, 45 million might turn into 145 million or even 245 million. It was simply an astronomical number and it would be equivalent to the wealth of dozens of great emperors.
Li Fuchen shook his head. “It is too low, I want an advance of 60 million.”
Li Fuchen didn’t believe that these things couldn’t be auctioned off for at least 60 million high-grade spirit stones.
“This isn’t according to the rules.” Manager Wang said.
“Rules are set by people, furthermore, if the base price is set by you, I am obviously on the losing side.”
Li Fuchen wasn’t afraid that he wouldn’t be able to receive the follow up payment, but just in case, Li Fuchen wanted to obtain more advance.
“I cannot make the decision for this matter. I will ask for the chief manager.”
Each auction hall had a chief manager.
“Alright.”
While speaking, Li Fuchen extended his spiritual awareness.
After around ten minutes, the conference room’s door opened. Four individuals including Manager Wang had walked in.
It was an elder with florid complexion and sharp eyes, along with two middle-aged men with reserved qi presences.
Li Fuchen let out a faint smile. The chief manager was obviously a great emperor, however, Li Fuchen paid more attention to the two middle-aged men. Their qi presences were comparable with the Black Hatchet Great Emperor.
It was unknown how many great emperors there were on the Saint Spirit Continent. The Great Emperor Rankings weren’t so accurate too. There were people who didn’t like to be famous or notorious. Apart from the top ranked individuals, those that ranked at the back weren’t really known.
“This heaven class high-tier cardinal artifact is yours?” The chief manager pointed at the White Bone Saint Crown and asked.
“Isn’t it obvious? Who else can it belong to?” Li Fuchen wasn’t really polite mainly because the opposition didn’t have a nice tone too.
“How dare you speak like that to the chief manager.” One of the two middle-aged men stood up and reprimanded.
“You have no rights to interfere.”
Li Fuchen made a glare and burst out with horrifying qi prowess, sending the two middle-aged men flying and crashing into the wall. The wall might be reinforced by the array, but there were still some cracks.
Ss!
Manager Wang took a deep cold breath.
These two individuals were the protectors of the Long Rainbow Auction Hall. Their strength would be ranked 8000 to 9000 on the Great Emperor Rankings. However, they couldn’t even resist Li Fuchen’s qi prowess. It meant that Li Fuchen’s strength was beyond imagination.
It seemed like they had to consider it at length.
The chief manager took a glance at Li Fuchen and smiled. “60 million then. This sir has great moves, we have been rude.”
Li Fuchen said indifferently, “I don’t mind you having thoughts, but you better think before you act. Otherwise, I wouldn’t mind making this place flow with a river of blood.”
The chief manager’s face turned pale. He could sense a murderous intent from Li Fuchen that was deep like the starry skies. He could already imagine the consequences for offending the opposition. The Long Rainbow Auction Hall might have its trump, but who knew if the trumps were useful. He didn’t dare to take the risk.
Just like that, the Long Rainbow Auction Hall willingly paid Li Fuchen 60 million high-grade spirit stones in advance.
Once Li Fuchen left, the chief manager had a dark expression. “He is rather arrogant.”
“Chief manager, what should we do next?” Manager Wang asked.
“Observe first, do not act recklessly.” The chief manager’s eyes were flashing with a dark light.
