Chapter 628 - The Largest Auction Agency! (2/2)

Fang Qiu smiled and urged, “Get up and have a look.”

At his words, the middle-aged man’s legs stretched out, then he opened an eye, looked at Fang Qiu, and slowly stood up.

Although there were seven lamps, since they were all candlelight flickering in this narrow room flickered, it inevitably made people feel a little depressed.

“I’ve told you, this is not an auction agency.”

The middle-aged man glanced at Fang Qiu speechlessly and said, “But as I have nothing to do and you want me to check out your items, I’ll see what good stuff you want to auction off.”

Fang Qiu smiled faintly.

Then he patted the bottom of the jade case on his back with his right hand.

“Swoosh!”

A sword’s holler rang out.

A sword instantly flew out of the jade case from behind.

A bright twinkle flitted across the middle-aged man’s eyes.

“A fifth-class sword.”

Fang Qiu put the sword on the counter.

“Nice sword.”

The middle-aged man’s eyes lit up. He picked up the fifth-class sword and observed it. Then, he cast a significant look at Fang Qiu and said, “It’s a good sword indeed, but I have to test it to see if it has reached the fifth class.”

“Be my guest.”

Fang Qiu nodded approvingly.

The middle-aged man immediately took out a piece of jade as thin as a piece of paper.

He put the sword on it.

The next moment, threads of silver energy lines suddenly appeared on the jade paper. The energy lines quickly rushed up from the bottom of the jade paper, stopping at a place a little further than the middle line.

“Surely it’s a fifth-class sword.”

The middle-aged man was pleasantly surprised.

“Uh, what is this thing?”

Fang Qiu was intrigued.

“This is a Sword Testing Stone.”

The middle-aged man glanced at Fang Qiu and explained, “No other place has this stone. But it’s only a device to the test weapons and has no other uses. The jade is not fine jade either.”

“Amazing,” Fang Qiu exclaimed.

He didn’t expect that there was such a thing in this world. Compared with this, his method of unifying the man and the sword was too primitive.

It was true that the world was full of wonders.

Of course, the existence of the Sword Testing Stone also indirectly proved the powerful strength of other the Chic Cloud Pavilion.

If they didn’t have enough strength, how could they get a hold of this kind of Sword Testing Stone when no one else could?

“Who is the owner of this fifth-class sword? How could it have such a strong aura?” The middle-aged man gazed at the silver energy lines on the jade paper, which still hadn’t dissipated, and asked in great surprise.

“This has nothing to do with the auction, right?” Fang Qiu questioned instead of answering.

“You got me.”

The middle-aged man shook his head and smiled.

“How much do you reckon this sword can be sold for?” Fang Qiu inquired.

“Normally, the price is about 1.5 million,” the middle-aged man said.

“How is the service charge then?” Fang Qiu asked again.

“10%!”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, “In an ordinary auction agency, a fifth-class sword can be sold for more than one million yuan, but less than 1.5 million yuan. At ours, even though you have to pay 10% as the service charge, it will definitely be worthy of it. If you are lucky, you’ll make quite a big sum.”

“It’s too high.”

Fang Qiu shook his head.

Honestly, he didn’t know much about auction. This time, he planned to make at least tens of millions out of the auction, but if he had to pay 10% as the service charge, the auction agency would actually take a few million away from his pocket.

As Fang Qiu was short of money, he naturally felt distressed if he were to give up several million yuan.

“High?”

The middle-aged man laughed and said, “We Chic Cloud Pavilion is the largest auction agency in Wulin. There is enough guarantee in all aspects. Whether you buy the best stuff that is easy to be coveted by others or get a huge profit that makes others jealous of you, as long as you are in the territory of Chic Cloud Pavilion, we can guarantee that no one dares to lay a hand on you!”

“So, how could we lower the service charge?”

Hearing that remark, Fang Qiu nodded with understanding.

Indeed, as the largest auction agency in Wulin, the Chic Cloud Pavilion’s service fee was really not overcharged.

“What if I auction in bulk?” Fang Qiu thought for a moment and asked, “If there are multiple auction items, can this fee go down a little?”

“Haha.”

The middle-aged man laughed heartily and said to Fang Qiu, “My friend, if you’re auctioning the national treasures, maybe I won’t charge you anything.”

Although it sounded like he was joking, the middle-aged man’s words also told Fang Qiu that if the items were good enough, and the service charge could be negotiated.

“Smack!”

Without hesitation, Fang Qiu clapped his right hand on the jade case again.

“Swoosh!”

From the jade box, another fifth-class sword flew out.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man smiled.

His face told Fang Qiu clearly what he was thinking.

One fifth-class sword was only 1.5 million, and two were only three million. How could the service fee be reduced given such a low value?

However, before the middle-aged man could say something, the jade case on Fang Qiu’s back suddenly buzzed continuously.

“Click…”

The 12 lids, which were originally tightly closed with linen threads tied to the case separately, were suddenly opened one after another.

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”

Once more, swords flew out.

There were 12 in total!

Fang Qiu controlled the 12 swords with his internal Qi and made them all fell on the five-meter-long counter, occupying most of the surface of the desk.

Seeing so many swords, the middle-aged man was also taken aback.

“These 12 swords are all sixth-class weapons!” Fang Qiu remarked while the middle-aged man was still in shock.
