When Qinchuan woke up, it was already the next morning. He opened his eyes in a daze, and the first thing he saw was Yu Cai 'er, who was squatting beside him and looking at him with a smile.
"You're finally awake."
Seeing Qinchuan wake up, Yu Cai 'er teased Qinchuan with a smile, "I thought you had been cultivating in the cultivation room all night, but I didn't expect you to be sleeping here."
Qinchuan sat up, stretched his body, and grinned, saying, "I was too tired from cultivating yesterday, so I fell asleep unconsciously."
After a night's rest, Qinchuan became full of energy again. He looked around and asked Yu Cai 'er, "When you came in, did you find anything special?"
Qinchuan didn't know when the Spirit-Receiving Talisman Array dissipated after he fell asleep. If Yu Cai 'er accidentally saw it, it would be hard to explain.
This also reminded Qinchuan that in the future, when he wasn't sure whether the surrounding environment was safe or not, it was better not to act rashly.
After all, Qinchuan didn't think that all Talisman Matrix Masters could inscribe Talisman Matrices with their spiritual power in the Qi Refining Stage. If this matter was spread out, it would inevitably attract unnecessary attention.
"No, I didn't."
Yu Cai 'er shook her head and said to Qinchuan, "When I came in, I saw you lying on the ground, but I didn't notice anything special."
Qinchuan nodded slightly, and understood. It seemed that the weakened version of the Spirit-Receiving Talisman Array would dissipate soon after losing the support of his spiritual power. Otherwise, the Spiritual Qi in the cultivation room wouldn't have recovered to the normal level so quickly.
"Let's go and have breakfast."
During breakfast, Yu Cai 'er didn't mention anything about the banquet last night, and Qinchuan didn't ask about it. The two's conversation was mainly focused on the upcoming auction in the evening. According to Yu Cai' er, she saw a lot of rare treasures on the list sent by the auction, which would definitely be a feast for Qinchuan's eyes. This also made Qinchuan look forward to the auction tonight even more.
The afternoon was spent in cultivation. After dinner at six o 'clock in the evening, Qinchuan and Yu Cai' er finally met Ah-Zhu, who was going to attend the auction. Together, they got on the shuttle to the auction site.
The auction was held in the Guang 'an Trading Company in Xiyang City. As one of the top auction organizers in the Star Dragon Federation, the Guang' an Trading Company had branches in every large city in the federation, and the Guang 'an Trading Company in Xiyang City was one of the many branches. But even if it was just a branch, the area was as large as two football fields, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of customers at the same time, and it didn't feel crowded at all.
The Yu Family had a dedicated shuttle parking area on the platform above the Guang 'an Trading Company. After Qinchuan and the others got off the shuttle, they could directly take the exclusive elevator in the area directly to the box at the auction site. The treatment could be said to be quite good.
This was the first time that Qinchuan enjoyed this kind of senior VIP treatment, which made Qinchuan once again realize the importance of strength.
If the Yu Family didn't have the strength to dominate Xiyang City, the Guang 'an Trading Company might not have paid so much attention to the Yu Family.
The box was very large, with an area of 300 square meters, but there were only three seats. Obviously, this was the arrangement made by the Guang 'an Trading Company in advance after learning how many people from the Yu Family would be present.
On the walls around the box, there were crystal screens with no blind spots, which allowed the people in the box to clearly see the whole auction site. The view was absolutely wide.
"Today, there are only three of us here, so be casual and don't be restrained."
Ah-Zhu's words were mainly for Qinchuan. She knew that Qinchuan had never participated in an auction of this level, so she deliberately reminded Qinchuan to relax a little and not be too nervous.
"I will, thank you."
Qinchuan sat in his seat and watched the auction site through the crystal screen. Although many people had entered, the site was very quiet, and not many people were talking. Obviously, these people knew the rules, and no one would make a lot of noise on such an occasion.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and then the door of the box was opened from the outside. A handsome young man in a high-end custom-made suit slowly walked in from the outside and said to Ah-Zhu with a smile, "Sister Ah-Zhu, you don't mind me coming in uninvited, right?"
Looking at the young man who suddenly appeared, Ah-Zhu frowned slightly and said, "Guo Hao, for the sake of your father, I won't argue with you this time, but if you enter without permission next time, I will break your hand that opened the door!"
In the face of Ah-Zhu's cold warning, Guo Hao just smiled and didn't take it to heart. He looked at Qinchuan and sized him up, and then said with a smile, "You must be Qinchuan, Young Master Qin, who shocked the world in the battle of the Hidden Dragon Arena and killed the demon beast with your own hands. Nice to meet you."
"You are?" Qinchuan was a little surprised. He saw that Guo Hao actually came for him.
"I'm ashamed to say this, but that good-for-nothing Guo Xing is my younger brother. This time, he was able to leave the Cloud Dragon Mountain Range alive because of Young Master Qin's help. I heard that Young Master Qin used three Thunder Spirit Stones in order to kill that Monstrous Beast. Therefore, I specially brought a few Thunder Spirit Stones today to express my gratitude to Young Master Qin."
While talking, Guo Hao gently clapped his hands, and a waiter behind him walked in front of Qinchuan with a delicate silver tray. On the tray, ten thunder spirit stones were neatly placed. The quality was definitely much better than what Qinchuan got from the Thunder Beast's cave!
"It's just a small token of my appreciation, I hope Young Master Qin will accept it."
In the face of Guo Hao's kindness, Qinchuan slightly pursed his lips and said, "I'm not a young master, I'm just a nobody. You can call me Qinchuan, but please don't call me Young Master Qin.
As for the kindness you said, I can't accept it all. "
With that, Qinchuan reached out and picked up two thunder spirit stones from the tray, and then said to Guo Hao, "The quality of this thunder spirit stone is good, it should be able to reach the middle-grade. One of them is enough to match the three ordinary thunder spirit stones I used to lay out the array.
As for the other one, it's a thank you gift for saving your brother. In this way, we're even, we don't owe each other anything. "
Hearing Qinchuan's words, Ah-Zhu's eyes couldn't help but show a touch of appreciation. With Qinchuan's background, he could still maintain a calm and rational mentality in the face of such a generous gift. It could be said that his performance was very good.
Yu Cai 'er was also very happy. Although she felt that Qinchuan would have no problem accepting all of them, she was happy that Qinchuan only took two.
"Worthy of Qinchuan."
Guo Hao looked deeply at Qinchuan and said, "I hope there will be a chance to deal with you again in the future. Goodbye."
