C36 Exquisite Auction House (1/2)
The Lingyun City was indeed worthy of being a famous city in the Great Yan Dynasty. There were millions of people living in the area.
With such a large population, the city that had been built for hundreds of years felt rather crowded. Even though it had expanded several times, it still did not seem to be able to meet the increasing demand from the city.
After entering the Lingyun City, Qin Shaojie took off the bamboo hat on his head, if not, when the group of people walked forward, only he, with the bamboo hat on his head, would appear to be in the spotlight.
Before, it was to avoid being wanted by the Qin family, but now, he didn't have to worry too much. Although the Qin family had been operating for a very long time, their influence still wouldn't be able to extend to this Lingyun City. Furthermore, the current Qin Shaojie did not need to be afraid of any accidents happening at all. As long as Qin Mai did not die, there was no possibility of a problem happening to him.
Although it seemed like he was taking advantage of Qin Lie, it would be a waste of resources if he did not take advantage of Qin Lie now.
A group of people were walking around the bustling main street, and the shouts that sounded from all directions made the Lingyun City seem very lively. Along the way, the bearded man's eyes were filled with suspicion, because he realized that Qin Mai's attitude towards Qin Shaojie had changed drastically.
If it was said that they were interested in Qin Shaojie before, then now, it could be said that they respected him.
Regardless of status or identity, Qin Mai could not be compared to ordinary people. Within the Great Yan Dynasty, there were not many people who could be treated with respect by Qin Mai.
However, he was only protecting Qin Mai's safety. As for the other things, it was obvious that he couldn't care less. Furthermore, he understood Qin Mai better than anyone. This youth looked no different from an ordinary person, but he was definitely not the type of person who would do nothing.
Along the way, Qin Shaojie also looked at the vendors on both sides of the street. This place was indeed like the rumors, with an extremely rich supply of goods for trading, not only medicinal ingredients, weapons, and all sorts of unique items, he had even seen people selling low-grade Magic Cores. The whole journey was quite dazzling.
However, they were well aware that these items were not truly good items. Treasures that would cause people to go crazy would not easily appear in this booth. Most of them were placed in auctions.
Most of the auction houses in the Great Yan Dynasty were situated within Lingyun City, and the Exquisite Auction House was especially prominent.
As the name implied, an auction house with all sorts of rare treasures would be able to move one's heart. There were even many families in other cities who would come here for no reason. From time to time, he would discover that some of the royal family members also came to visit.
Of course, the items in the auction house were so precious, not just anyone had the right to enter.
If you want to enter the Exquisite Auction House, you must make an appointment. After all, the Exquisite Auction House only opened five hundred seats at a time. Without an appointment, there was a high chance that one would not be able to enter the auction venue. And the premise of an appointment is to have enough chips.
As such, even though this auction house was extremely famous, there were very few people who actually entered. Some people would spend a lifetime without being able to enter and witness the glory of those treasures. They would only be able to hear about some of them from the outside.
Finding the Exquisite Auction House was not a difficult matter, and any casual question would allow him to know where it was.
Qin Shaojie and the rest's goal this time was also obviously the elite auction.
This Exquisite Auction House was located in the most central core region of the Lingyun City, and was also where the Lingyun City was the most flourishing. The entire building seemed quite grand. When it appeared at the entrance of the Exquisite Auction House, it seemed rather eye-catching.
There were only two words on the signboard – Exquisite. It was made from top-grade gold. This signboard alone was something that many clans wouldn't necessarily be able to match up to even a year's worth of profit.
As for the two stone lions by the door, it would take several people to hold them in their arms. With just a single glance, one could tell that they were created by a master teacher.
From the outside, the entire structure of the Exquisite Auction House was constructed with fine mahogany. It did not look too flashy, but it had an imposing aura that had settled down, causing one to involuntarily restrain the insolence within their hearts the moment they appeared.
He had long heard that a lot of boastful people were much more low-key in the Exquisite Auction House. Most of the reason was because the construction of the Exquisite Auction House gave people a sense of respect at first glance.
Of course, there was no doubt about the strength of this auction house, which had the ability to become the most prominent in the entire Lingyun City.
There were rumours that the Auction House was owned by the Wang family, the number one clan in Lingyun City. Some people even suspected that there was a royal clan behind them, but no matter which rumor it was, it proved that the Auction House's background was not simple.
Just the powerful aura emitted by the disciple standing at the entrance of the Exquisite Auction House was enough to make those petty people to restrain their auras.
These people were actually all at Peak of Genuine Force, and the two auras leading them seemed to still exist at Three Spiritual Realms.
In a small city like this, he would be the leader of a clan, but in this city, he was just a disciple. And this was only the tip of the iceberg at the outermost part of Exquisite Auction House.
If that was the case, no one dared to mess around in the auction house. At the same time, it also made many people who were willing to help out the treasures want to cooperate with the Exquisite Auction House. After all, their strength was the greatest safeguard.
