Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1433: Chapter 1432: Two-Faced People

The Shen Auction House, one of the iconic buildings within the Menghan Black Market.

From afar, Su Han could see the awe-inspiring structure towering between heaven and earth, as if it were piercing straight into the clouds. It was nearly ten thousand feet high, massive in size, exuding a grand aura.

The five large characters ’Shen Auction House’ were formed purely by condensed spiritual energy, floating in the void, enduring indefinitely.

Luxury!

The first impression the Shen Auction House gave Su Han was this word, luxury!

The second impression...

Extremely luxurious!

It seems that in any place, these powerful figures who rule a region express their mastery over everything in such a ’luxurious’ manner.

Although the auction house was massive, it was adorned with brilliant golden light around it, extremely dazzling. Even those five characters would require at least ten thousand spirit crystals to form.

Ten thousand spirit crystals!

It topped decades or even centuries of salaries of the Outer Sect Disciples of the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion, yet the Shen Family just hung it above in the sky.

Moreover, as time passed, this spiritual power would dissipate. To maintain the existence of these five characters, they had to continue using spirit crystals.

The Shen Family has existed here for five hundred thousand years, so how many spirit crystals have been consumed in all this time?

Unimaginable, certainly, the few million in Su Han’s hand would not be enough.

”If one has the strength, robbing such a black market wouldn’t be bad.” Su Han muttered to himself.

”Sir, the auction house has been reached, shall we go in?”

Zhao Xinying’s voice came through: ”Because the auction house is the Shen Family’s own property, unrelated to the black market, one must pay an entrance fee of one spirit crystal to enter. This spirit crystal allows you to participate in unsold items, purchase goods, and receive the benefits of a dedicated auction house explanation and more.”

”Okay.”

After Su Han nodded, Zhao Xinying smiled and paid the spirit crystal.

Upon entering the auction house, the first thing they saw... was people!

The place was packed with people, extremely crowded. If not for their cultivation base, using gentle strength to gently push others aside, one might sweat profusely from the crowd or even get crushed to death.

”What a bustling trade,” Su Han sighed softly.

”Indeed, the Shen Family’s trade is good, but it is not always busy like today. It only means sir, you are lucky to come at the right time,” Zhao Xinying said with a smile.

”Oh?”

Su Han was suddenly interested: ”You mean, there’s something good for auction today?”

”Not today, but the day after tomorrow.”

Zhao Xinying explained: ”The day after tomorrow, the Shen Auction House will hold a large-scale auction. There’s no fixed time for such auctions, and they are not widely advertised. After all, the black market is different from marketplaces, with too many blemishes. Extensive publicity is not beneficial for the auction house.”

”So, for such large-scale auctions, you can only rely on luck. If you come at the right time like you did, you can happen upon it.”

”According to the information released by the Shen Family, there will be at least three Supreme Treasures in this auction, including the Third-Grade Pill ’Restriction Pill’, the Top-Grade Mystic Weapon ’Lizi Sword’, and the special secret technique ’Heavenly Eye Technique’.

”Restriction Pill?”

Su Han’s eyes lit up for a moment, but the light quickly faded.

He did not care about the Lizi Sword or the Heavenly Eye Technique. The only thing that interested him was the Restriction Pill.

The Restriction Pill, a Third-Grade Pill, has no distinction between lower, mid, or superior class; if refined, it is certainly of Top-Grade!

Because, as the name suggests, this pill can allow a strong Void Heaven Realm cultivator at a bottleneck to break through restrictions and improve a realm!

As for improving a minor realm or a great realm, that depends on the user themselves.

Anyway, the effect of this pill is significant. In the past life, Su Han had refined it himself.

”After tens of millions of years, it seems that the Lower-Class Star Region hasn’t changed much...” Su Han thought to himself.

”The Restriction Pill is only effective for Void Heaven Realm cultivators, and in the auction house, its price will surely be extremely high. If sir is not a Void Heaven Realm expert, I do not advise bidding,” Zhao Xinying said.

”I understand.”

Su Han nodded, surveying the surroundings.

This was even the first floor of the auction house, also the largest hall. On the left were some items that were undergoing resale.

Resale means that during the auction, if no one bids, or if the prices are the same and no one bids, it undergoes resale, allowing everyone to have a chance to see the item.

On the right, some stunning young women were smiling and explaining various things to the crowd. If someone did not understand, they could ask them.

On the opposite side of Su Han and others, besides the staircase, there was a large antique shelf, holding at least a thousand items, clearly marked with prices, which one could buy if they liked.

Su Han gave it a cursory glance with little interest.

To be honest, he already practically had everything he could use now. Buying things he didn’t need would also be a waste of spirit crystals.

”The second floor is the place for buying and selling pills, ranging from First Grade to Fourth Grade, and even some Fifth Grade Pills, but they are very rare and generally not brought out. As for Sixth Grade and above, there are none.”

The third floor is the place for buying and selling weapons, the fourth floor is for spiritual techniques, and the fifth floor is for cultivation techniques...”

Su Han interrupted Zhao Xinying: ”Let’s go to the second floor first.”

”Okay.” Zhao Xinying nodded.

They squeezed through the crowd and finally arrived at the staircase. Just halfway up, a cold voice suddenly entered their ears.

”Ximing Zhao, you dare to come?!”

Su Han frowned; this was obviously directed at Zhao Xinying beside him.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xinying didn’t even glance at the speaker and, abandoning her composed professional demeanor, bolted upstairs.

”If you have guts, don’t run!”

In the crowd, a sturdy middle-aged man pointed at Zhao Xinying, ”You tricked the Overlord Mercenary Group out of spirit crystals, and you think we’d just let it slide? We can’t touch you in the auction house, but try going out!”

With these words, the robust man took a step forward with a cold smile, along with a large group of people, closing in on the stairs.

Su Han’s frown deepened.

He glanced back and paused slightly. Zhao Xinying?

”Sir, hurry, weren’t you going to the second floor? I’m already waiting for you there.” At this moment, Zhao Xinying’s voice reached him.

Su Han was silent for a moment before he started moving towards the second floor.

The muscular men behind him followed, all with murderous intent and cold smiles, inching closer to Su Han.

When he reached the second floor, Su Han saw Zhao Xinying’s slightly forced smile and pursed his lips, saying, ”You won’t trick my spirit crystals too, will you?”

Zhao Xinying: ”...”

”Whether she’ll trick your spirit crystals, I don’t know. Anyway, this little girl isn’t that kind-hearted, sir should be cautious, hehe...”

At this moment, a somewhat hoarse yet slightly enchanting voice called out from behind.
