147 Fang Yuntian’s Invitation, Underground Auction!
“???” Mu Xuan was stunned on the spot. What was going on? Could it be that Fang Yuntian was preparing to use a honey trap on him?!
Fang Yuntian said, “The largest underground black market in the Western Capital will hold a large-scale auction. There are a few large factions controlling it together. Behind the scenes, it’s very likely that the Dark Alliance’s Western Capital branch is behind it. The Witch Sect assigned me a mission to assassinate someone…
“This underground black market is very dangerous. I’m not confident that I can leave after the assassination.”
Mu Xuan understood what Fang Yuntian meant. The other party wanted him to bring her out of the underground black market.
“Underground black market, large-scale auction?!” Mu Xuan raised his eyebrows and his interest rose. In such a lawless place, there might be contraband items being auctioned.
“Sure!” Mu Xuan replied.
Although it might be a trap, Mu Xuan felt that this underground black market was worth visiting.
Since he was preparing to go to the underground black market, the evolution of the Holy Sprite Envoy naturally had to be delayed. Fortunately, the little guy’s mentality was very good, so it didn’t matter if it was delayed by a day or two.
The next day, Mu Xuan followed Fang Yuntian’s map to the rendezvous point—the back door of a school.
“How strong is this underground black market?” Mu Xuan asked in a low voice.
Fang Yuntian shook her head and said, “According to what I know, this underground black market has existed for 20 years. The Western Capital’s military has always wanted to eliminate it, but they’ve failed repeatedly! I suspect that there are even internal members of the Western Capital’s government involved…”
“That’s for sure!” Mu Xuan smiled. “It would be strange if such an underground black market doesn’t have a backer.”
“Recently, you’ve been in the limelight…” Fang Yuntian turned her head slightly and looked at Mu Xuan with a sigh. The trip to the Heavenly Beast World had turned Mu Xuan into an existence that was like the sun in the sky. There were even rumors that the number one vice principal, Hua Linxian, was Mu Xuan’s instructor, making Mu Xuan even more mysterious.
“This kind of limelight is just a joke in the eyes of experts!” Mu Xuan shrugged. To him, reputation was a burden.
They chatted as they walked for the past two days like a couple. Even Mu Xuan himself didn’t notice…
Not long after, Fang Yuntian brought Mu Xuan into an inconspicuous warehouse in the school. After Fang Yuntian said the magic words, “open sesame”, the door really appeared!
“The entrance to the underground black market is located here?!” Mu Xuan said with a serious expression.
Fang Yuntian nodded and said, “That’s right, it’s here. You didn’t expect this, right?”
“This underground black market is really lawless!” Mu Xuan snorted.
At this moment, Fang Yuntian handed Mu Xuan a black robe and put one on herself. She was already prepared.
Mu Xuan checked through the information panel and confirmed that it was an ordinary black robe with a mental power anti-detection spell. He decisively put it on and followed Fang Yuntian into the underground black market.
The world spun. Mu Xuan saw that the two of them had already arrived at an underground space. Unimaginably, there were many people in the underground space. At a glance, there were more than ten thousand people!
Mu Xuan realized that most of them were wearing black robes and masks. However, there were also some bold people who directly revealed their true colors and were not afraid of their identities being discovered.
However, under Mu Xuan’s information panel, everything was exposed. Everyone’s identities could be seen clearly.
Suddenly, Mu Xuan’s eyes narrowed because he discovered that his mentor, Hua Linxian, was actually also here!
“Let’s go. The auction is about to begin!” Fang Yuntian pulled Mu Xuan and whispered.
Mu Xuan nodded and followed Fang Yuntian through many twists and turns. Soon, they arrived at a grand door. On it were a few golden words: “Western Capital Auction House!”
After Fang Yuntian and Mu Xuan each showed their invitations, they stepped into the auction house and realized that there were really many people here. There were no less than 200 people.
“Quickly use your spatial beast to investigate. Find a place where we can escape easily!” Fang Yuntian whispered.
“Alright!” Mu Xuan nodded slightly. He summoned Little Cat and gave an order. The Sky Leap Dragon Polecat disappeared without a trace, making Fang Yuntian envious. She also wanted to have a powerful spatial beast.
The invitation Fang Yuntian received wasn’t a VIP invitation, so she could only stay in the hall. Mu Xuan found it very difficult to imagine how Fang Yuntian would assassinate the target!
At this moment, the Sky Leap Dragon Polecat returned to Mu Xuan’s arms and said with its mind, “Master, this place is filled with spatial defense arrays, but I discovered a few loopholes. We can definitely leave without anyone noticing!”
Mu Xuan stroked Little Cat and smiled. “Little Cat, not bad!”
Then, Mu Xuan nodded slightly at Fang Yuntian, causing a pleasant surprise to immediately appear on her face. Fortunately, she was wearing a mask. Otherwise, Mu Xuan would probably be tempted. How could he resist the smile of a witch!
Fang Yuntian disappeared, and Mu Xuan continued to wait for the auction to begin.
Before long, a beautiful beast tamer at the beast king level went on stage and introduced the rules. For example, the auction agreed to use the more precious and popular Spirit Accumulation Stone as the standard price. The other resources were transferred according to the Spirit Accumulation Stone.
Mu Xuan looked at the conversion table. One Spirit Accumulation Stone was equivalent to ten Dragon Blood Stones, which was 10 million yuan.
After a simple introduction, they began auctioning the first item. This first item shocked Mu Xuan.
“The first auction item is a pure-blooded dragon demon beast at the level of a wind and lightning-element beast king, the Purple Lightning Wind Dragon!” The female auctioneer excitedly said the first auction item, making many people immediately excited.
After all, a beast king-level pure-blooded dragon beast would have powerful combat strength with a little nurturing. How could it not be tempting?!
However, Mu Xuan’s expression quickly became strange because the Purple Lightning Wind Dragon’s quality was only ordinary. This meant that the potential of this pure-blooded dragon demon beast had already been exhausted. It was impossible for it to increase no matter how much it was nurtured.
“Looks like someone nurtured a dragon beast to reap the benefits…” Mu Xuan shook his head and ignored it. He only wanted to see if there were any holy-element demon beast corpses for auction.
As for the first auction item, it indeed obtained a good start. It was directly auctioned for 6,300 spirit stones, which was about 63 billion yuan. The price was clearly a little high.
The second and third auction items… didn’t attract Mu Xuan. Although there was no lack of precious beast taming resources, as long as Mu Xuan wanted to, he could seek them out.
At this moment, the female auctioneer suddenly shouted excitedly, “Next up is auction item number 12, the complete corpse of a holy-element beast king!”
“We’ve already verified that this Seven Luminaries Divine Light Beast has been dead for less than three days. The essence energy in its body has yet to be completely lost…”
“The starting price is 100 spirit stones!”
As soon as these words were spoken, Mu Xuan was immediately shocked. This was definitely a prohibited item. The quasi-ancestor-level beast tamers had already set the rules but this beast was still hunted and even auctioned.
“If it’s alive, I’m afraid it can be sold for an astronomical price!” Mu Xuan whispered. “What a pity…”
