Chapter 58 Mountain Splitting Battle-Ax

All the private rooms had a secret channel . After the guests in the private room successfully won an item, someone would come to send that item to them .

There was no need to be like the people in the crowd who had to personally go in behind the stage or to handle the transaction after the auction ended .

The person who had come in was precisely the one who had pulled Long Chen into partic.i.p.ating in the auction, Fu Gui . He was holding a foot-long case with ten stalks of Starfusing Gra.s.s that s.h.i.+ned brightly like stars .

“Young master Long Chen, here are your goods . ” Fu Gui respectfully handed the case to Long Chen .

To tell the truth, today was the most exciting day of his life . According to the Huayun Pavilion’s rules, after subtracting a couple business costs, he would obtain one percent of what Long Chen had spent .

Just the money Long Chen had just spent just now had given him enough to spend the rest of his life without having to worry about money ever again .

Long Chen carefully examined the case . Each stalk of Starfusing Gra.s.s had over ten starry spots .

Starfusing Gra.s.s would gain an extra star spot for every hundred years it was preserved . Thus its age was something that was obvious at a glance .

Although some mishaps had occured today and he had a stomach full of anger, he had at least managed to obtain his goal, so it had all been worth it .

Only after putting away the case inside his spatial ring did he relax . All the Starfusing Pill’s ingredients had finally been collected . He could now start refining it .

“Young master Long Chen, please wait a moment . ”

Seeing that once Long Chen had stood up after collecting the Starfusing Gra.s.s, the astute Fu Gui immediately knew he was planning on returning to his home .

“What? You want to stay? But I’m penniless right now,” laughed Long Chen . He was itching to go refine pills . It was better to resolve Chu Yao’s matter as soon as possible .

“You’re our guest, and when I was coming over just now, my boss said your credit limit could be raised by another thirty million . So if you see anything you like, feel free to bid,” smiled Fu Gui . He handed a crystal card to Long Chen .

Currently Long Chen had two special crystal cards . But the twenty million on the other card had already been completely used up .

The Huayun Pavilion had a special rule . Everyone partic.i.p.ating in the auction would have to transfer their gold coins to the Huayun Pavilion in exchange for a credit limit .

But they could only do that once . Once the auction started, you could not exchange for a higher credit limit . That was why most people would exchange as much money as they possibly could at the beginning in order to increase their spending limit .

If you didn’t buy anything or your credit had yet to be reached, the Huayun Pavilion would return your money to you without taking the slightest percentage .

So every single person here had their own crystal card with all their money on it . Once the auction was over, the Huayun Pavilion would immediately take those cards back and deduct what they had spent . It was a very efficient process .

For those like Long Chen who had used up all their money, the rule was that they could no longer add to their funds . But obviously the higher-ups o the Huayun Pavilion had opened a special backdoor for him .

Long Chen hesitated for a moment as he looked at the crystal card in his hand . Originally he had been planning on going back to refine since he had no more money . Watching others spend while you had no money was also a kind of torment .

But now that he had more funds, he truly was interested in the items that had yet to be auctioned .

“Fu Gui, we already have an agreement that you won’t immediately demand money from me if the things I gave you don’t sell . I can’t immediately return the money you loaned me in that case . ”

“Don’t worry, my boss has said that if those don’t get auctioned off, the loan will just be written off as a gift to you,” smiled Fu Gui .

Long Chen was startled . “Who is your boss?”

“Hehe, sorry, but this little one cannot reveal that . Please don’t make it hard on me,” apologized Fu Gui .

Although he was a bit puzzled, Long Chen still decided to stay . He really was interested in the later items of the auction .

After Fu Gui left, the auction paused for a moment and began to serve tea . Whether it was to the auctioneers or the guests, this kind of tense atmosphere truly did use up a lot of energy .

Such a huge auction naturally had to give its guests some breaks . Only then would they have the energy for the even more intense bidding later .

Otherwise, if everyone was exhausted, the auction would have a weak finish . Obviously the Huayun Pavilion had already made preparations to avoid that .

After a two hour break, the auction once more began . Calculating the time, the auction had already gone on for two whole days .

Due to the compet.i.tion being too intense, no one had really felt the time pa.s.sing . Every item brought out was even more precious than the ones before it, and the bidding became increasingly hostile . And the prices naturally shot up wildly as well .

This was especially the case with Yao Niqian’s ‘encouragements’ . It was as if everyone had taken some kind of medicine that made them go wild .

Looking at the impa.s.sioned crowd, Long Chen couldn’t help feeling some admiration . After two days of auctioning, this Yao Niqian had figured out the majority of the people’s temperaments, and now the atmosphere was completely under her control .

s.h.i.+ Feng, Fatty Yu, and the others had all been exposed to the grandness of the world . Even after these two days of auctioning, none of them were the slightest bit tired .

Although none of them had the money to enter the compet.i.tion, just watching those impa.s.sioned sky-high bids was stimulating on its own .

“The next item is the Mountain Splitting Battle-Ax . ”

As she said this, a battle-ax was carried on top of the stage . But everyone was shocked when they saw it .

Naturally they all knew what battle-axes looked like . But they had never before seen such a battle-ax before . It was absolutely enormous!

That double-edged ax head was at least five feet long . It was as thick as an arm, and possessed an imposingness that was absolutely terrifying .

“Mountain Splitting Battle-Ax . It was made from golden sand, and its hardness is unmatched . It weighs two tons, and is a symbol of power and martial might . It is said it was the weapon of a divinity, and placing it within your estate will scare off any spirits or ghosts . The starting price is two million . ”
