Countless wealthy tycoons trembled in fear, but at the same time, they were eager to hire the old smoker. As a result, the price of natural treasures that could avoid danger continued to rise.
Originally, Heaven and Earth Treasures of that level were already quite expensive. Depending on their different functions, they could be sold at outrageous prices. At this moment, the price was even more outrageous. In addition, pharmaceutical giants like Shamrock Enterprises had always been collecting Heaven and Earth Treasures, so no matter how high the price was, Heaven and Earth Treasures were still in demand but not in the market. Countless people were eager to get even one.
Even if they couldn't hire the old smoker, they could at least save their lives at a critical moment. If worse came to worst, they could just keep the treasure and sell it to Shamrock Enterprises.
Many people were speculating about natural treasures in the outside world.
At this time, the auction house was selling ten natural treasures that could avoid danger at once, which was enough to shock the various weaves.
With Lu Yin's strength, he wasn't afraid of being targeted. In fact, he was eager for people to cause trouble for him.
However, just listing natural treasures was too monotonous. After thinking about it, Lu Yin listed the Inkjade Lake's spring water, which was a lockbreaking tool that was stored in the Hall of Insight. He only had twenty-five drops, and selling five drops would be enough to attract many Lockbreakers, as Lockbreakers were all wealthy people.
He then listed a bottle of Elder Wu's poison, which was enough to threaten an Enlighter.
He wanted to use this bottle of poison to tell the various weaves in the Outerverse that this auction house would sell and accept anything. It didn't matter if it was something honorable or something shady.
He wanted to turn this auction house into a money-making vault.
When Lu Yin passed the list to Bei Qing, he was stunned. "Your Highness, are there really ten natural treasures that can avoid danger?"
Gavin was shocked. So many?
Lu Yin nodded. "Publicize them according to the list."
Bei Qing asked, "Can this poison be sold?
Can it really threaten an Enlighter? "
"The auction house's name will be The Great Continent Auction House, and these items will be enough to make it famous. I'll have Xiaoya and the others cooperate with you in publicizing the items and selling them as soon as possible. Only when you're famous enough will others send their items to you for auction. Keep an eye on all the items being auctioned, and we can buy whatever we need," Lu Yin said.
Gavin hesitated. "Your Highness, can't things like poisons be sold in secret?
That would damage the empire's image. "
Lu Yin casually replied, "Just change the name. It's easy to change it to a life-saving item."
Gwen stopped talking.
Bei Qing left in high spirits.
The establishment of the auction house was very simple. With Lu Yin's support, Bei Qing directly set up the auction house in the most bustling area of Zenyu Star. However, it had only been two days, and the main purpose of the auction house was to promote the event.
Bei Qing had already met with Sister Ya. With Lu Yin's support, Sister Ya had already become one of the top reporters in the empire, and she was powerful enough to influence the Great Eastern Alliance's media. Thus, it would not be difficult for her to spread Bei Qing's auction list.
As expected, the entire Great Eastern Alliance was shaken when the auction list was sent out. Soon after, the news spread out at an extremely fast speed. Soon, even the neighboring territories and the central territories knew about it.
The influence of heaven and earth treasures was too great. Lu Yin did not even expect them to have such a great influence. In addition, Sister Ya had people secretly hyping them up. It was foreseeable that the price of these heaven and earth treasures would definitely double.
The name of the Continental Auction House quickly spread throughout the various major territories, and it was still spreading even further.
The first auction would be held a month from now, as Bei Qing needed enough time to gather all the wealthy people on Zenyu Star.
Actually, an online auction was not a bad idea, but establishing an auction house was not as simple as just making money. He needed the auction house to attract more people.
The Continental Auction House's communications system exploded with calls, as countless people tried to contact them to purchase the items they needed in advance. However, they were all rejected by Bei Qing. Right now, it was a seller's market, and there was no need to be afraid that people would not buy what they wanted. If they wanted to buy something, they could only come to Zenyu Star.
Bei Qing's attitude made many people grit their teeth, but they did not dare to do anything. This was Zenyu Star, and even Aegis had given in to Lu Yin. Even an Enlighter would not dare to make a move, let alone these people.
On Planet Hydrotink, Felynn looked at the auction list with an ugly expression.
Only the Hall of Insight had a stockpile of Lake Elysium's spring water, so this Continental Auction House definitely belonged to Lu Yin. He was the one who had stolen some of the Hall of Insight's stockpile.
To a Lockbreaker, the importance of a lockbreaking tool was self-evident. Even Felynn hoped to obtain Lake Elysium's spring water, let alone the other Lockbreakers.
There was the sound of hurried footsteps as Master Kai walked over. "President, the Lake Elysium's spring water must belong to our Lockbreaker Society."
Felynn replied, "I know. Let's wait for the auction to begin. In terms of resources, although the Hall of Insight has been stolen, that's only a portion of it. There are still some resources left."
Master Kai's expression turned ugly. "I've already contacted the Continental Auction House, but the owner, Bei Qing, actually refused to sell it. He's not giving us any face at all. Hmph."
Felynn was helpless. "The owner behind that auction house is Lu Yin."
Master Kai was shocked. "Lu Yin?
How could it be him?
No wonder he's so arrogant. He even has ten natural treasures. "
Not only did they want Lake Elysium's spring water, but they also wanted natural treasures as well as life-saving medicines that could threaten Enlighters.
In Armament Weave, Yi Feng looked at the auction list and immediately contacted Wei Rong. He wanted to purchase some resources, but Wei Rong refused. They also had Lake Elysium's spring water, and Lu Yin had only obtained a small portion of it, so there was no need to compete. As for natural treasures, Wei Rong was not confident that he could compete with Shamrock Enterprises, so it would be a waste to go there.
In the Land of Darkness, a cold voice muttered to itself, "There are actually ten natural treasures. Fortunately, we didn't fight to the death with Lu Yin back then. Otherwise, that old smoker would have become our nightmare."
"No matter what, we have to get these natural treasures as well as that bottle of life-saving medicine. It can actually threaten an Enlighter, so this Lu Yin definitely has someone supporting him. Who is it?
Could it be the Hall of Honor? "
…
In outer space, aboard a giant spacecraft, Dino was calculating his expenses. He was lucky to be in charge of Frostwave Weave on behalf of Endless Borders, which was the heart of the Great Eastern Alliance. He needed to improve his business and suppress others, or else he might be replaced.
At this moment, his gadget buzzed. Dino looked over, and his expression changed. "Captain Yankee, what is it?"
"Have you looked at the Continental Auction House's list?" a low voice asked.
Dino hurriedly replied, "Yes, I've looked at it."
"At least buy me three natural treasures and a drop of Lake Elysium's spring water. Also, do your best to buy that bottle of life-saving medicine."
Beads of sweat dripped down Dino's forehead. "This … Captain Yankee, I don't have that much money right now."
"I'll ask the headquarters to transfer it to you, Mr. Dino. You should be aware of the hardships and dangers that our development team faces. These things are all life-saving treasures that are extremely important to us."
Dino hurriedly replied, "I know, I know. Rest assured, Captain Yankee. I'll do my best."
After the call ended, Dino's expression turned bitter. He was well aware of how big of an impact this auction would have, and countless eyes would be watching. Although Endless Borders was one of the four major corporations, there were still behemoths like Shamrock Enterprises, Mavis Bank, and Aurora Spacecraft Corporation above them. How could they compete?
With so little money, it was going to be troublesome.
He contacted the Continental Auction House and tried to purchase them in advance, but he was mercilessly rejected. He was not angry, though, as this Continental Auction House was obviously Lu Yin's property.
If there was really no other way, then he would look for Lu Yin.
On Shamrock Enterprises' green planet, Shen Fu was leisurely rocking back and forth in his recliner when his secretary, Xiao Qin, walked over and handed him a list.
Shen Fu was shocked when he saw the list. "Ten natural treasures that can avoid danger? What's the origin of this Continental Auction House?"
"According to our investigations, the owner, Bei Qing, is from the Shenwu Continent and is a member of the Great Yu Empire's First Squadron," Xiao Qin coldly replied.
Shen Fu replied, "Isn't the First Squadron Lu Yin's private army? It looks like Lu Yin has found a good place with quite a few natural treasures that have been growing for hundreds of thousands of years. Perhaps it's the ruins of some ancient sect. Do your best to find out more. As for this auction, Shamrock Enterprises will definitely participate. This is a matter of face, so you can represent me and buy them all."
Xiao Qin frowned. "The Continental Auction House has done a good job of advertising this time. All the weaves know about it, and the prices might be inflated."
Shen Fu laughed. "Shamrock Enterprises isn't afraid of money. Go."
"Yes, Mr. Shen."
…
Countless people stared at the list of items, calculating how much they would need to buy them all.
Lu Yin didn't care too much about it. Based on the changes in the market, the prices of these items would definitely be inflated, but they wouldn't be too outrageous. Every item had a price limit, and those who were qualified to participate in the auction were all smart people. If the prices were too outrageous, they would definitely stop and try to buy them from him. The prices on the auction house were just a reference for future transactions.
However, Lu Yin wouldn't release too many natural treasures, as that would cause the market to go haywire. He believed that Shamrock Enterprises, Mavis Bank, and the other major powers definitely had plenty of natural treasures that could avoid danger, but they would never reveal them. This was their foundation.
He had no choice; he was short on money!
Many people had contacted him during this time, and even the old smoker had taken the initiative to contact him once to ask if he wanted to upgrade his membership. Lu Yin was left speechless, but he really did upgrade his membership and gave the old smoker ten more natural treasures. He didn't lack them anyway.
But why did the old smoker need so many natural treasures?
Lu Yin was very curious.
Time passed quickly, and there was still half a month before the auction.
The auction house was completely sealed off, and the imperial court's first squad of guards aroused the curiosity of many.
During this time, Zenyu Star was bustling with activity. All sorts of rich people from other weaves had arrived, and the busiest streets of Zenyu Star were packed to the brim. The Mavis Bank and other major banks were urgently transporting money to Zenyu Star to prevent too many people from withdrawing their money. The Amethyst Company's reconstruction was accelerated, and it was almost complete.
The silhouettes of rich people were everywhere.
Many people visited King Zishan's palace, but they were all turned away by Kayze.
It had to be said that the Dire Barbarian Clan's ferocious appearance was very useful, and many people were intimidated by Kayze's status as a member of the Dire Barbarian Clan.
