The auction house also had three entrances. Lu Li went to the one on the left, which was for the guests to auction.
It was a middle-aged man who received them. He was at the Soul Pond Realm and had a friendly smile on his face.
The middle-aged man received the three in a small hall. He said with a smile, "I am Zhan Xing, one of the stewards of the auction house. What is your name, Young Master?"
Lu Li didn't shy away and said directly, "My name is Lu Li. I am here to sell something."
Zhan Xing nodded and said, "We have two ways to sell things. One is to sell directly to the auction house. We will set a price for your item.
The other is to go to the auction house and you set the lowest price. No matter what the final price is, we will only charge 5% as the fee. "
"Okay!"
Lu Li had asked a waiter for some information about the auction house so he knew something about it. He thought about it and asked, "When can we auction it?
Can we keep our information confidential? "
"Absolutely confidential at the auction house."
Zhan Xing said with certainty, "The Heaven Punishing Auction House is not only at the Thousand-island Lake. We have it in all the capital cities of the Northern Desert.
As long as it is in the auction house, we will keep it confidential. Young Master Lu, you can rest assured.
Um … there will be an auction tonight and it will be the grandest one of the month. If Young Master Lu wants to auction it, I can arrange it. "
"Oh?"
Lu Li thought to himself that he was lucky. He didn't have to wait too long. He said without hesitation, "Then let's go to the auction house. I will not sell these two kinds of fruits separately. If you want to buy them, you can buy them together. The base price is 600,000 Xuan Crystals."
Patriarch Seven sold them for one million Xuan Crystals. Of course, Lu Li couldn't sell them at a lower price for the same amount of Mystical Grasses.
If he went to the auction house and met some rich guests, he could raise the price to more than one million Xuan Crystals.
"600,000?"
Zhan Xing's eyes lit up. His smile grew wider. He nodded and said, "Okay. But … your item needs to be appraised. If it is not worth the price, we cannot set the base price randomly.
This concerns the reputation of the auction house. Please forgive us, Young Master Lu. "
Lu Li could understand. He looked at Patriarch Lu who handed over 40 Fire Fairy Lucid Lucid Ganoderma and Netherworld Roots. Lu Li explained, "These are Fire Fairy Lucid Ganoderma and Netherworld Roots. But the efficacy is much stronger. You can appraise them, but don't destroy them."
"Of course."
Zhan Xing called for someone to take the things away and then chatted with Lu Li.
He was well-behaved. He didn't try to pry for information about Lu Li. He just talked about some interesting things about the Thousand-island Lake.
After the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn, Zhan Xing's men returned and whispered a few words in his ear. Zhan Xing smiled and said, "There's no problem with the item, it's worth this price.
Young Master Lu, you can come to our auction house tonight and watch the auction results live. If there's anything you like, you can also bid for it. "
Zhan Xing handed a token to Lu Li. With this token, Lu Li could enter the auction house directly.
Lu Li stood up and said goodbye. He left the Fire Fairy Lucid Ganoderma and Netherworld Roots worth millions at the auction house without any worry.
For such a big auction house, credibility must be the most important thing. This amount of Xuan Crystals was nothing to them.
Hunchback Tian didn't care about anything. Patriarch Lu trusted Lu Li. Judging from the conversation between Lu Li and Chief Steward Bai and Zhan Xing, Patriarch Lu could tell that Lu Li had grown up a lot. Lu Li was way beyond his peers and had the demeanor of an Island Owner.
The three of them rested in the tavern and didn't step out of the door. When it got dark, the three of them went directly to the auction house. They took out their tokens and were taken to a small private room.
The auction house was large. There were more than a thousand seats on the ground floor and nearly 100 private rooms on the ground floor.
These private rooms were cleverly separated by curtains. People from the ground floor could not see what was going on in the private rooms, but people from the private rooms could see what was going on on the ground floor.
The auction hadn't started yet, but there were already many people sitting on the ground floor. Lu Li could see many warriors wearing robes with emblems of different Families.
It seemed that they were the Patriarchs of the Families of the Thousand-island Lake who were out to purchase Mystical Materials and treasures.
"You guys sit here. Don't say anything or do anything. You can go back by yourselves after the auction is over."
Lu Li sat in the private room for a while. Suddenly, he had an idea. He told the other two and quietly left the private room.
After he made sure that nobody was around, he took out a mask from his Interspatial Ring and put it on.
This was the Ghost Mask, given to him by Ye Cha.
It was a Heaven Grade Xuan Artifact. Nobody could detect it unless they were at the Noble Lord Realm. Lu Li put on the mask and walked to the ground floor from the corridor. Then, he sat in a corner.
The mask he was wearing was a bit weird, which attracted some people's attention.
That being said, there were some people in the auction house who were wearing cloaks and covering their faces. Nobody paid attention to them.
More and more people entered the auction house. Soon, the more than a thousand seats on the ground floor were almost occupied. Many private rooms on the ground floor were probably occupied as well.
After the time for another incense stick to burn, the auction stage in front of Lu Li suddenly lit up. There must be some strange Inhibition Formation on the auction stage. The light was not dazzling.
A lady in a revealing red dress walked up. Her eyes were charming and her smile was as pretty as a flower. She walked onto the stage and made a gesture. Everyone quieted down gradually. She said in a soft voice, "Thank you, distinguished guests, for coming to the auction house. I, Yun Ji, am honored to be the auctioneer tonight. I hope all the distinguished guests can come back with a rewarding experience. Now, let the auction begin."
Yun Ji's voice was soft and pleasant to the ears. Lu Li nodded to himself. The Heaven Punishing Auction House was nice.
The auctioneer was of high standard. A beauty like her could easily make the price soar.
Tonight's auction was the grandest one of the month. In other words, there would be one auction every month. Therefore, it was not too grand.
Yun Ji didn't waste time and went straight to the auction items. The first one shocked Lu Li. It was a Heaven Grade Xuan Artifact long sword.
The starting price of the long sword was one million Xuan Crystals. Lu Li gave up on the idea. For one thing, he didn't have any Xuan Crystals. For another, he didn't like using swords.
His Mighty Heaven Halberd was destroyed by Dumby. He had no weapon now. If there was a long saber or halberd of the Earth Grade, Lu Li would consider it if the price was lower.
The first item elevated the atmosphere. It was sold at a high price of 1.3 million Xuan Crystals.
It was bought by a young master in a private room above. He must be a young master of a big family.
Lu Li nodded to himself. It seemed that there were many rich guests tonight. Their fruits should be able to fetch a high price.
The next few items were all Mystical Materials. Lu Li didn't know much about them, nor was he interested in them. He just sat there quietly, waiting for his items to be put on the stage.
More than a dozen treasures and Mystical Materials were auctioned. The prices varied. The highest one was sold at more than one million Xuan Crystals, and the lowest one was still more than 100,000 Xuan Crystals. Anything that could be auctioned was not trash.
It had been an hour. Finally, it was the turn of Lu Li's Fire Fairy Lucid Ganoderma and Netherworld Roots.
Lu Li was secretly excited. He wanted to see how much he could get tonight. If the price was high, he could sell his things directly at the auction house later.
"The next items are two kinds of Mystical Herbs. I think you are all familiar with them. But the Mystical Herbs auctioned tonight are different from the regular ones."
Yun Ji kept everyone in suspense. Two maids came up with two big plates. Yun Ji said with a smile, "These are 20 Fire Fairy Lucid Ganoderma and 20 Netherworld Roots. Fire Fairy Lucid Ganoderma is the main ingredient to make the Fallen Immortal Pellet.
Netherworld Roots are indispensable to make the Netherworld Pellet.
What Yun Ji wants to say is — the efficacy of the two Mystical Herbs today has been appraised by us. The efficacy is twice as strong as regular ones.
Okay, let the auction begin. All at once. Do not sell them individually. The starting price is 600,000 Xuan Crystals. "
"Wow …"
Many people were in an uproar. The doubled efficacy surprised many people. If the Mystical Herbs were used to make pellets, the efficacy would be enhanced.
"Looks like we can get a high price."
Lu Li was excited to see the reaction. Of all the things auctioned, only the first Heaven Grade Xuan Artifact caused such a stir.
"600,000!"
As he expected, someone made a bid immediately. It was a lady from a private room upstairs.
However …
Lu Li felt something was wrong when he heard the voice. The voice seemed familiar.
As soon as the voice faded away, the entire place fell into dead silence. Nobody dared to say anything. They all looked at the first private room on the left. Many young people were excited.
"Sh * t!"
