Chapter 906: Chapter 494: Auction House (2 updates)_2
The value of a magical treasure is at least a million spirit stones, and such treasures have highly distinctive personal characteristics. They are basically custom-made for individuals, unlike those mass-produced magic artifacts. Often these magical treasures are quite renowned because the ones who can use them are at least strong figures in the Secret Realm, possessing a Primordial Spirit. Such powerful individuals are naturally not obscure, and the weapons they use would not be without fame, often being well known.
Therefore, if a stolen magical treasure surfaces, it’s easy to trace where it came from and whose hands crafted it.
An auction house without a certain strength would not dare to openly auction such items. If they offend some formidable character, the entire auction could be overturned in revenge.
"Ordinary magical treasures are not as good as what I want to sell, so you better be prepared mentally."
Chen Yun emphasized, causing Zhao Jiahao’s heart to thump, and his expression became grave.
Not even looking at Low Grade Magical Treasures, what on earth does this guy want to sell? Could it be a Mid-grade Magical Treasure, or some spiritual elixir?
With a fleeting thought, Zhao Jiahao decisively agreed.
"Chen, you just say the word, our Extreme Treasure Auction House has seen all sorts of big scenes. There’s nothing under the sky we dare not auction."
Zhao Jiahao said grandly, not knowing that he would soon regret these words.
Chen Yun, seeing Zhao Jiahao’s response, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Alright then, what I want to auction is... people."
"People?"
Zhao Jiahao seemed to doubt his own hearing. Although auction houses in Chongzhou often trade in human slaves, this does not even come close to magical treasures, unless Chen Yun is auctioning a staggering number of human slaves, which is unlikely as there haven’t been any recent reports of large scale disappearances.
"I want to auction five people, from the Guan Chao Pavilion’s Yu Wenjing, Miao Yin Temple’s Mo Shiyao, Jingyu Temple’s Jiang Lin, Lingfa Temple’s He Wenfeng, to the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance’s Wei Qingwan. I suppose with your extensive experience, Manager Zhao, you’ve heard of these five genius disciples?" freewebnσvel.cøm
Finally, Chen Yun stated the goods she intended to auction — genius disciples from the five righteous sects.
Zhao Jiahao’s eyes went dull upon hearing Chen Yun’s words; he was utterly stunned.
Of course he’s heard of them. Qingzhou, Qing Province, Jingzhou, and Chongzhou are all closely situated in the southern Da Li Dynasty. He, as a businessman, is well-informed. These five genius disciples are very famous, exceptionally gifted, mostly possessing Divine Bodies and Sacred Bodies — for instance, Yu Wenjing with the Obsidian Scale Body, ranked fourteenth among divine bodies; Jiang Lin with the Purple Mist Qibao Body, ranked twenty-fourth; and Wei Qingwan with the Xuanyu Qixing Body, ranked seventeenth.
These young genius disciples are already in the Secret Realm in terms of cultivation, with some being trained as successors of their sects, how could he not know of them?
Precisely because he knew of them, Zhao Jiahao was dumbfounded. Shock and fear simultaneously cast shadows over his heart.
"Chen, the person standing behind you is, is... Su... Su True Monarch, right?"
Zhao Jiahao stuttered, having pieced together the sequence of events. When Su Jie kidnapped these genius disciples, he had gossiped plenty with others.
He never imagined there would come a day where he’d have dealings with these righteous sect geniuses.
Su Jie, the giant of the Qingzhou Demon Path, why of all businesses choose his auction house, and in such a business trading righteous geniuses?
Chen Yun nodded and said, "This is the business of our Ghost Ridge Palace’s Saint Heir. It seems you know well and have heard of our Saint Heir’s reputation, saving me the need for an introduction."
Zhao Jiahao felt his scalp tingling. Su Jie was a giant within the Qingzhou Demon Path, having countless strong individuals die by his hand. Such a ruthless man was endlessly discussed as a hot topic in a place like Chongzhou, a holy land of the Demon Path — he’d heard of him so much his ears were growing calluses.
"Well, well, Chen, no, Sister Chen, can we possibly discuss this further, this business..."
Zhao Jiahao wore an expression as if he wanted to cry but had no tears; he never wanted to take on this troublesome business.
This wasn’t about trading magical treasures, but rather auctioning off those genius disciples from the righteous sects! Where would he find the courage? If this news spread, who knows how great the wrath of those righteous sects would be, his little heart couldn’t bear it!
"What, you’ve already made a promise and want to go back on it? Are you underestimating the Saint Heir of my sect? Does your Extreme Treasure Auction House still want to exist?"
Chen Yun glared, her expression turning icy.
Zhao Jiahao was scared into a shiver; he didn’t want to provoke those righteous sects, but he couldn’t afford to provoke Su Jie, the demon path giant, either. His face stiffened with regret over his previous confident agreement.
Chen Yun disregarded what Zhao Jiahao was thinking, regardless she took out two contract documents, cooperation agreements written on them, seizing Zhao Jiahao’s hand, she dipped it in ink, pressing his fingerprint onto the paper, demonstrating a bold demon path manner.
That wasn’t all; Zhao Jiahao felt a slight pain in his wrist as a ring of black marks appeared.
Zhao Jiahao sensed this seemed like some kind of positioning poisonous insect toxin, and in an instant, felt ashen.
"Alright, the cooperation is settled; your Extreme Treasure Auction House will undertake this auction business. This is a big deal worth over ten million spirit stones, which can greatly expand your auction house’s fame, so seize this opportunity well."
Chen Yun stuffed one contract into her bosom, handed the other to Zhao Jiahao, and patted Zhao Jiahao’s shoulder with a ’you’re going to benefit greatly’ expression.
"Yes, yes, what you say, Sister Chen. That the Saint Heir of the Ghost Ridge Palace favors us with business is the extreme honor of the Extreme Treasure Auction House, utmost honor."
A barely forced smile appeared on Zhao Jiahao’s face, yet his smile looked even worse than crying.
But now he was already on the pirate ship; there was no turning back.
"I appreciate people who know their place; work hard, and you won’t be mistreated."
Chen Yun rose, walking out of the Extreme Treasure Auction House, ready to report the good news back to Su Jie, leaving Zhao Jiahao slumped on the ground, like a person whose soul had left.
However, as soon as Chen Yun exited Taifeng City, her expression instantly turned cold.
"Hmph, truly bold!"
Chen Yun snorted coldly, quickly entering a forest.
Several figures chased after her; they were demon cultivators from Chongzhou, placed as scouts outside various auction houses engaging in some robbery business.
Chen Yun’s aura and attire were different from those of Chongzhou, so these demon cultivators singled her out as an outsider, thinking to make a profit.
These people were not weak in cultivation, one of them even at the Yunling Realm Ninth Level, a significant powerhouse elsewhere.
But this time, they chose the wrong target. Upon entering the forest, they suddenly screamed out as if witnessing a terrifying entity, followed by their voices quickly dissipating.
Mere moments later, Chen Yun emerged once again, and the figures of those Chongzhou demon cultivators were nowhere to be seen.
Two sizzling sounds came from within Chen Yun’s sleeves, everything returning to tranquility.
