Chapter 78: Jingdu Auction House
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
One must know that this was the Treasure Pavilion. It was not like the stuff on the stalls. Any item in Treasure Pavilion would cost thousands or even tens of thousands of mid-grade spiritual stones.
The items Manger Sun showed Ye Xuan was worth a few hundred thousand top-grade spiritual stones.
Ye Xuan took supreme-grade spirit stones. “Count them. If it’s not enough, just tell me. Keep the change.”
Ye Xuan said in an indifferent tone. He was just short of buying Treasure Pavilion.
Manager Sun hurriedly took it. Although he had doubts about Ye Xuan’s wealth before, all his doubts were gone after seeing so many supreme-grade spirit stones.
He was the real God of Fortune!
Even with all the expenses, Ye Xuan had only spent a quarter of the amount the mission target. He still had many supreme-grade spirit stones in his hands. “Take out whatever else you have.”
Manager Sun’s heart skipped a beat. Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, it seemed like he wanted to buy everything. Manager Sun didn’t dare to hesitate. He quickly ordered people to bring out everything except the reserved goods.
All the items in the pavilion were placed in front of Ye Xuan, and there were only 70 or 80 items.
The things at Treasure Pavilion were of quality, not quantity. Not everyone could afford them. They received disciples from large sects most of the time. Many disciples had to make reservations in advance, so there were not many things in the pavilion.
Who would have thought that a freak like Ye Xuan would appear today? He actually wanted to buy everything in one go. It was an unprecedented thing in history.
The golden abacus in Manager Sun’s hands made a clattering sound as his ten fingers moved so fast that one could only see the afterimages of his fingers. Then, he had already calculated and taken a deep breath in just a moment.
“That’s a total of 85 million top-grade spiritual stones. I’ll round it down to 80 million top-grade spiritual stones.”
The moment his words fell, there was a moment of silence. Did Ye Xuan still have so many supreme-grade spirit stones?
Even Manager Sun was apprehensive. He had seen many people but had never met someone as strange as Ye Xuan.
If he could make the deal with Ye Xuan, it would be the largest transaction in the history of Treasure Pavilion. The income of spiritual stones today would set a new record, a hundred times more than usual days.
The supreme-grade spirit stones fell on the table, almost enough to pile up a mountain. Ye Xuan’s expression was indifferent as if he had just thrown out a cabbage.
“Keep the change.”
So many supreme-grade spirit stones!
Even Manager Sun, who was in charge of the treasury of the pavilion, had never seen these many supreme-grade spirit stones. His eyes were wide open. The light of the supreme-grade spirit stones dazzled his eyes, but he was still reluctant to look away.
Did this person excavate a supreme-grade spirit stone mine? How could he have so many supreme-grade spirit stones? It was almost as much as a large sect’s accumulation.
One had to know that even the grand elders of the seven great sects weren’t as generous as Ye Xuan.
Seeing Ye Xuan frowning, Manager Sun carefully said, “Is there anything else, Sir? Are these things not to your liking?”
He even used honorifics to address Ye Xuan.
After all, the person in front of them had become the biggest customer of their shop. They had to treat Ye Xuan with care and not offend him. Moreover, the fact that he could take out so many spirit stones in one go must mean that he had a strong background.
They could only befriend him and not offend him.
Ye Xuan did some calculations. Even if he spent so many spirit stones, there was still a big gap from the mission goal.
“Don’t you guys have anything else?”
Never in a million years would Manager Sun expected to hear Ye Xuan asking him this question. Manager Sun gasped and didn’t know what to say for a moment, so he became more and more careful.
“Everything in the pavilion is already here. As for the other goods, they’ve already been reserved. I can’t sell them to you,”
Seeing Ye Xuan’s disappointed expression, steward sun suggested, “If you lack anything but spirit stones, you can go to the Jingdu Auction House to take a look,”
“Jingdu Auction House? What is that place?”
Knowing that Ye Xuan wasn’t from Jingdu, Manager Sun patiently explained, “Jingdu Auction House is the largest auction house in the entire Jingdu. They collect treasures from all over the world.”
The displayed auction items were all rare treasures, and the prices were also frighteningly high. Because the auction also took commission and handling fees, the final transaction price was more than ten times more expensive than the other places.
Even so, the sects in Jingdu or the cultivators from all over the world were interested in this auction. They had the chance to find some perfect medicinal pill or supreme-grade technique there, which could not be found in the outside world.
“Then I’d like to go and take a look.”
After listening to Manger Sun’s introduction, Ye Xuan was quite interested. Perhaps he could use up all his spirit stones and complete his mission by attending this auction.
“You come at the right time. Tomorrow is the start of the auction. Moreover, it’s said that the auction this time is particularly different.”
Manager Sun took out an invitation card. Golden auspicious clouds swirled around it, and the words “Jingdu Auction” were printed on it. It looked very exquisite.
“You are an honored guest of my Treasure Pavilion. I will give you this invitation. There will be someone to lead you to the auction.”
Treasure Pavilion and Jingdu Auction House were both famous. The auctions would open at regular intervals, and there was no competition between them. On the contrary, they interacted a lot. When Treasure Pavilion received some extremely precious items, they would send them to the auction house to be auctioned.
The golden invitation card in Ye Xuan’s hand was not something ordinary people could get their hands on.
“Thank you, Manager Sun.”
Ye Xuan thanked him and left with the invitation.
Manager Sun watched as this God of Fortune left. He couldn’t help but sigh, “I wonder who he is. With so many supreme-grade spirit stones in his hands, it seems this auction will be very interesting.”
