Protect Our Clan Leader

Capítulo 2387: Chapter 25: My Lici Is Way Too Fierce, Isn’t She? (Part 3)

During this time, the well-versed Situ Xuejia, upon hearing the shopkeeper mention a noble young master, also came over to “toast and make acquaintances.” However, Wang Shouzhe responded indifferently and had no intention of engaging with him for Lici’s sake, merely hinting at his travels to broaden his horizons.

This, in turn, made Situ Xuejia even more cautious and respectful, and he specially handed Wang Shouzhe an invitation card, saying it was for an auction event hosted by the Silla Immortal Dynasty branch of the Divine Treasure Hall.

This branch usually only holds an auction every ten or eight years, and the items for auction are generally average. But this time, Situ Xuejia said there would be great items on auction, which might interest the young master.

Wang Shouzhe’s main purpose in coming to the Sacred Domain was indeed to “broaden his horizons.” As for gathering intelligence, comparing prices, and other trivial affairs, naturally, these are left to his subordinates.

He only needed to wait for the information.

Since he was idle and had nothing to do after dining and drinking to his heart’s content, he decided to have a look.

The branch of Divine Treasure Hall was also located in the most bustling area of the Immortal City, not far from the Yikang Food Palace.

After Wang Shouzhe and the Immortal Emperor Yun Tiange finished their meal, they took a casual stroll to the branch of Divine Treasure Hall and entered the venue with the invitation.

The interior decor of the branch of Divine Treasure Hall was visibly a notch higher than that of the Yikang Food Palace, more magnificent and luxurious, with even the painted patterns on the grand beams of the ceiling more majestic and splendid, fully showcasing the foundation of the Divine Treasure Hall.

At this time, the auction was about to begin shortly, and the venue was already packed. Most of the special private rooms above the venue had their lights on, indicating that someone was already inside.

However, the invitation from Situ Xuejia was an ordinary one, without private room privileges. He and Yun Tiange only got a shared table in the main auction hall. After the attendant served fresh Spirit Melon and tea, they retreated.

It must be said that Wang Shouzhe had not attended an auction for many, many years; most matters are now handled by his descendants. As for Yun Tiange, being the Immortal Emperor, it was even more unlikely for her to play around at auctions. The last auction she attended must have been thousands of years ago when she was still a princess or Empress Princess.

The two were unusually interested and took a moment to observe their surroundings.

This auction was not of low standard; at least one Cultivator of Shen-tong realm was leading each shared table. As for those guest private rooms, the visitors were at least led by a figure in the Void Realm.

Evidently, everyone had received “inside information” this time, knowing there were great items on auction, resulting in a rather grand scene.

Soon after, the auction began under the host of a veil-wearing female cultivator in the Void Realm.

After a round of simple greetings and warming up, she formally started the auction: “Next, please bring out our first auction item, the Divine Spiritual Treasure — [Purple Jade Flute], a rare sound domain Divine Spiritual Treasure, with a starting bid of one top-quality Spirit Stone, with each increment no less than one Top Grade Spirit Stone.”

This price…

Wang Shouzhe and Yun Tiange exchanged glances.

The prices here seemed indeed much lower compared to the Divine Martial World, where a Divine Spiritual Treasure would never start below three top-quality Spirit Stones.

And at this time, people in the venue had already begun bidding.

Within a short while, the price of the Purple Jade Flute had been raised from one Extreme Spirit to one Extreme Spirit twenty-one Superior Spirits. However, after that, the bidding faltered.

“One Extreme Spirit thirty Superior Spirits.”

Seeing this, Yun Tiange directly raised her paddle and bid.

The previous bidder glanced at Wang Shouzhe’s table, hesitated, and then gave up. A price of one Extreme Spirit thirty Superior Spirits was indeed quite high; it wasn’t worth fighting over a Divine Spiritual Treasure.

Thus, Yun Tiange secured the [Purple Jade Flute] at a very reasonable price.

She beamed with a smile and transmitted, “Young master, do not laugh at me. Though we of the Yun family have many Divine Spiritual Treasures, the need is even greater. Moreover, one more Divine Spiritual Treasure means the overall strength of the Human race can be a bit stronger.”

“Your Majesty, please refrain from calling me young master when transmitting.” Wang Shouzhe replied through transmission, “I understand your actions. Faced with the Demonic Clan’s threat, the physical quality of the Human race is far less robust than the Demonic Clan; the stronger the weapon, the stronger we are.”

“Young master, when we use transmission, we must follow the established rules.” Yun Tiange glanced sideways coquettishly and continued transmitting, “This Sacred Domain has a Sacred Supreme; what if someone hides in the dark and overhears our transmission? Young master, do not be careless.”

“Understood, Tiange.”

Wang Shouzhe nodded slightly, still maintaining his demeanor as a mysterious young master, leisurely sipping tea and showing no desire to bid.

As the auction continued, Yun Tiange gradually revealed her shopping frenzy, bidding on every reasonably priced Divine Spiritual Treasure, as well as Dan medicine, “Talisman,” secret treasures, etc., and without exception, they were all seized into her bag.

In a word, extravagant!

These things were indeed much cheaper than in the Divine Martial World. If Yun Tiange were to return and sell them at Divine Martial World’s prices, the profits could exceed twice the original.

Some say that Wang Shouzhe and Yun Tiange, being the top figures of the Human race, should prioritize the bigger picture and not exploit low purchases and high sales to profit at the expense of other families.

But the problem is precisely in this. If everything is sold back according to Sacred Domain prices, not only would they be sold out immediately, but it would also cause a price collapse of high-end items in the Divine Martial World, and the originally treasured items and Dan medicines of various families would depreciate greatly in an instant.
