Thousand Needle Auction House, in Thousand Needle Country, is the largest auction house.
Here, you can find anything imaginable. As long as it exists in Thousand Needle Country, it can be brought here for auction.
"Sir, are you here to buy or sell?"
As Suan San Sheng led Lin Hao to the entrance of the auction house, they were promptly greeted.
Suan San Sheng paused, then sneered with an arrogant deanor, "Are you blind? Can’t you see? This is my rchandise!"
Saying so, Suan San Sheng gestured towards Lin Hao.
"Forgive , sir, forgive , I was shortsighted." The staffer nodded and bowed, glancing at Lin Hao.
"rchandise, one Earthling!"
With that announcent, soone approached.
"A trash Earthling, not even at the Sky-breaking Cultivation?"
One of them looked disdainfully at Lin Hao, then noticed the handcuffs in Lin Hao’s hands and scorned more, "A cultivation not reaching Sky-breaking confined by King’s handcuffs, such a waste of resources."
The man murmured quietly, thinking no one heard him.
Little did he know, Suan San Sheng, who had gone to fetch docuntation, ca back and kicked the man in the rear.
"Damn it, what are you mumbling about? If anything happens to my rchandise, you’ll be in deep trouble!"
By this ti, Suan San Sheng was entirely acting like a nouveau riche rchant, loud and bossy.
The auction house staff dared not provoke him, all compliant.
"Rember, my rchandise needs to be taken good care of, it’s worth a billion!" Suan San Sheng warned while giving Lin Hao a knowing look.
Lin Hao completely failed to understand the signal; he still had no idea what Suan San Sheng was up to.
"Is the check done?"
Suan San Sheng approached, asking the appraiser gruffly.
"All set, sir, it can be stored now." The staffer nodded and bowed, responding promptly.
"Hmm, this is my billion, be careful with it." Suan San Sheng circled around Lin Hao twice, his intentions unclear.
While no one was paying attention, Lin Hao suddenly noticed sothing extra in his hand.
It was a storage ring!
Lin Hao was startled; he didn’t even know how the storage ring ended up in his hand.
"Arrange a private room for , get so pretty girls to accompany." Suan San Sheng was walking out, ordering the auction house staff like he owned the place.
The storage ring must have been given by Suan San Sheng, but what was he planning?
Lin Hao wondered internally but discreetly pocketed the ring.
The auction house staff didn’t notice the ring in Lin Hao’s possession and led him inside.
Many items co here for auction.
From small items, even exotic beasts, insects, to large items like weapons, ancient artifacts, and even people, all are available for auction here.
"Hurry up. The auction is about to start, sort all the rchandise properly!"
In the auction house warehouse, security was tight, and the goods were plentiful, piled up like mountains.
"This is for the main venue, place it here!"
"Over there, for venue three, don’t mix them up."
"Slaves? Lock up the slaves!"
"Be careful with those female slaves, you clods better not ss up; a single flaw, and even selling you won’t cover the losses!"
A supervisor-like figure directed at the warehouse entrance, while many workers busied themselves inside.
"9079? Lock it up."
When Lin Hao was brought over, the foreman only glanced at him before impatiently pushing him inside the warehouse.
Fitting for the largest auction house, an auction here can last a very long ti.
Lin Hao was led by two people, walking deeper inside.
All along the way, they saw nothing but treasures.
After several turns, they arrived near a room that resembled a prison.
"Here we are."
"Go in!"
The two people were not polite at all, they opened a door, pushed ng Yi violently inside, and then, locked Lin Hao to the iron bars with chains.
"Everyone better behave. Coming here, it’s not like before for you. I don’t care who you were—lords or generals, here you’re just a bunch of slaves."
The workers from the auction house sneered continuously, dropping a few remarks before leaving.
Lin Hao turned his head and counted, my goodness, there were twenty-three Earth people in this room!
All were cultivators with the strength of a King, handcuffed and with their cultivation sealed, each disheveled and expressionless.
"This young friend, I see you are only at the Sky-breaking Realm, why didn’t you hide well and also got caught?" one of the Earth people close to Lin Hao looked him up and down and sighed.
"It must have been a shelter that was breached."
Soone helped Lin Hao answer.
"Alas."
Another round of sighing ensued.
"I don’t know what we Earth people did wrong to encounter such great disasters."
"Wrong? My ass wrong! Dammit, unless there’s no day for to turn over a new leaf, today’s vengeance, I must seek!"
"Let these people from the Upper Realm Plane regret everything they have done!"
Several people roared angrily on the side.
Then, the cell quieted down again.
After a while, soone suddenly said: "I heard that in Gu Country there are Earth people making headway, making the Seven Countries suffer nurous defeats. I ca out of the mountains this ti intending to join them."
"Who wouldn’t want to?"
There was another round of sighs.
"I heard they had our kinsfolk bring cannons and rockets, killing in a thrilling spree."
"I never thought our Earth’s cannons and rockets could be so advanced. Back when I ascended from Earth, they were still using matchlock guns, they were garbage."
"Don’t ntion your ti, I heard that just a few years ago, Earth’s firearms were already advanced, but they still couldn’t hurt cultivators. I don’t know why, but there was a sudden breakthrough."
"Who cares why, if I had one of those powerful bombs now, I’d turn the world upside down!"
"I wonder which powerful being brought so many firearms to the Upper Realm, truly impressive."
"We are prisoners now, whether we can survive is still uncertain."
Several people were conversing with one another, ignoring Lin Hao.
Lin Hao didn’t listen to these twenty-sothing people’s lants.
He shook his hands, and the handcuffs, a gift from Suan San, were easily opened.
Then, he took out the storage ring that Suan San gave him last.
Red oil?
What does that an?
The ring had no owner, Lin Hao could freely check the contents inside.
Upon inspection, it was a storage ring full of red oil!
This was not the usual oil people talked about, but a special product from the Upper Realm Plane, which burns fiercely and can even incinerate a Great Emperor, a very rare item.
What exactly was Suan San’s plan?
Lin Hao was suspicious, but now he didn’t care much about those concerns. He turned back to the people: "Gentlen, stop talking about those useless things. I have a plan. Are you willing to follow ?"
Lin Hao’s voice suddenly broke through, and the twenty-sothing people were stunned, turning around even more astonished:
"Eh. Young friend, how co your handcuffs are gone?!"
