Chapter 231: Chapter 230: Sky-High Priced Item
After leaving the Wenqin Auction House, Chu Linfeng didn’t go back directly; instead, he headed to the nearby Pingwu Auction House. It was a rare opportunity to encounter an auction, and he had to bid on so items for himself.
Walking into the Pingwu Auction House, Chu Linfeng felt as if he had stepped into a casino. There was a massive crowd; the enormous reception hall was lined with several queues for the auction.
Chu Linfeng casually joined a queue, as he was not in a hurry. His matters had already been settled; now, it was up to the Pingwu Auction House to see if they could surprise him.
"I heard soone is auctioning off Earth Tier Martial Skill this ti. I wonder if it’s true." Chu Linfeng overheard soone in front of him say.
"Earth Tier Martial Skills are indeed rare, but I heard soone is auctioning a Sixth Grade Elixir, and that’s really impressive," another person said.
Various discussions continuously reached his ears. To Chu Linfeng, these items weren’t particularly useful, but if sothing like Celestial Martial Divine Water or the Holy Jade Snow Lotus appeared, that would be truly tempting.
The number of people ahead slowly decreased, and so were taken to different areas, indicating that the more precious items were kept away from public view.
Chu Linfeng waited for about an hour before it was his turn. A woman in her twenties attended to him; she was very demure and gave a very pleasant impression.
"Are you here to buy or to auction?" the woman asked directly.
"I have sothing to auction. Could the lady arrange a quieter place?" Chu Linfeng said with a smile.
After giving Chu Linfeng a once-over, the woman said, "Please follow !" She then left the counter, and another woman took her place.
Chu Linfeng was led to a spacious room, although several people were inside discussing sothing with items in hand.
Chu Linfeng smiled and said, "If it’s like this, then I’ll give up and go to Wenqin Auction House, where at least I won’t be ignored like this." He turned to leave.
"Wait, do you mind telling
how much your items are worth in Star Stones? The room you’re in is for items valued between a hundred to a thousand. If your item exceeds that, I can arrange sothing else," the girl said, her voice still sweet, showing no regret at Chu Linfeng’s decision to leave.
"Oh, where is your highest level room then?" Chu Linfeng asked with a smile, looking straight at the girl.
"In the Master’s room; items that have entered the Master’s room have appeared only a few tis over the years. I don’t think your items are of that caliber, are they?" The girl, unhindered by Chu Linfeng’s stare, felt rather honored, showing she was an expert in such matters.
"Is your Master here?" Chu Linfeng asked, ignoring the quality of his own item and finding the ntion of their Master a bit abrupt.
"If your item truly ets the requirent, I believe the Master will personally attend to you. How much is your item worth in Star Stones? If you’re uncertain, the Pingwu Auction House has professional appraisers who can assess its value," the girl said.
"Oh, then take
to your appraiser." Chu Linfeng thought this would better attract the Master’s attention.
Soon, Chu Linfeng was taken to a small private room, where a middle-aged woman was present. Seeing Chu Linfeng and the girl enter, she asked, "Here to appraise an item?"
"This gentleman claims his item is valuable. We hope Hong Gu can appraise it," the girl said.
"What is the item? Let
have a look. If it’s worth over ten thousand Star Stones, the appraisal is free. If not, there’s a fifty-star stone evaluation fee. Would you agree?" Hong Gu said.
"Just take a look; it should be worth the ten thousand you’re talking about!" Chu Linfeng said as he retrieved an Ice Crystal from his Storage Ring.
The appearance of the Ice Crystal imdiately lowered the room’s temperature considerably. A trace of surprise flashed across Hong Gu’s face, but it quickly faded.
"The market price for the Ice Crystal in your hand should be between thirty thousand and eighty thousand Star Stones. The appraisal fee is waived."
Chu Linfeng didn’t speak, but the girl who brought him did, "Your item’s value still doesn’t qualify for the Master’s room. Please follow ."
"Wait, I have another item," Chu Linfeng said, taking out a Fire Crystal. Hong Gu beca visibly excited, and Chu Linfeng asked with a smile, "How much is this Fire Crystal worth in Star Stones?"
"The Fire Crystal in your hand should be valued between two hundred thousand and five hundred thousand. It might reach eight hundred thousand if the auction is intense," Hong Gu said.
"Still can’t enter the Master’s room?" Chu Linfeng asked.
"No items below a million are allowed in, though your items are precious, they still don’t et the requirent," the girl said, noticeably more accommodating than before.
She never expected this young man to have such valuable items; these should be among the top five items of this auction.
Chu Linfeng then took out another item and asked, "I wonder how many Star Stones this could be worth?"
Upon seeing the item in Chu Linfeng’s hand, Hong Gu was visibly startled and imdiately said excitedly, "Quick, take this gentleman to the Master’s room."
The girl was also taken aback, seeing Hong Gu’s nervous expression for the first ti, and asked, "His item can et the Master?"
"Yes... yes, it can! Quickly, go!"
The girl now sincerely regarded Chu Linfeng, surprised that he truly had sothing that could warrant a eting with the Master. None of the auction items this ti would have that privilege.
"Sir, please follow !" Her attitude shifted dramatically, now warm and courteous.
Chu Linfeng followed the girl inside, walking past several corners before they stopped at a room’s entrance, "Sir, the Master is inside. Please wait here for a mont while I notify them."
The girl then knocked on the door and said, "Master, a gentleman’s item is worthy of eting you, and the person is now waiting outside!"
After a mont, a voice that sounded like a silver bell rang out from inside, "Let the gentleman co in!"
Upon hearing the voice, Chu Linfeng felt a bewitching sensation, and his heart raced. Could it be that the master of the Pingwu Auction House is a woman?
Chu Linfeng pushed open the door and stepped inside, seeing a girl shrouded in a black veil quietly looking at him.
"Are you the client with the item worth a million Star Stones?" the girl directly asked.
Chu Linfeng nodded and replied, "Yes, and you’re the Master of the Pingwu Auction House?" Evidently, Chu Linfeng was surprised by the veiled girl’s identity.
"Show
your item, maybe I can help you get what you want," the girl said straightforwardly.
Chu Linfeng was startled. How did she know I wanted sothing? Could she practice Mind Reading Art? anwhile, Sword Spirit Yue’er’s voice suddenly ca through...
