Chapter 349



"You found so many lodes and mines of essence stones back on the Graveyard Island . You should not need essence stones, and the materials, although not useful to us right now, could prove needed later . "

Xue Wei looked at Lin Xiao, and approvingly nodded his head . "That’s a good question," he praised, but then he stayed quiet and smiled enigmatic, causing the others to feel puzzled .

. Before they had the time to say anything, Xue Wei suddenly said, "did you notice that this place is called Golden Chambers Auction House?" he asked, and the others frowned as they thought about it . It was indeed called Golden Chambers Auction House, but what did that matter?

"When we were back at Chang’an, do you remember the name of the continent-spanning auction house?"

As Xue Wei asked, the expressions on the others suddenly turned grave .

There was also a Golden Chambers Auction House on Chang’an!

Could this be a coincidence?

"They displayed their might yesterday," Xue Wei continued, but the others considered what he meant unable to grasp his meaning .

"Even though my name resounds through the entire Demon Phoenix Continent, I still had to wait for three hours in a queue . I bet that even the Emperor would have to humble himself in front of the owner of this auction house, which is spread over many continents . "

Hearing all of Xue Wei’s words, the others suddenly seemed to understand . Xue Wei was not selling his items for the sake of getting essence stones, but because he wanted to get a VIP card from the auction house, and the benefits he could get from it, that was the real goal .

Suddenly, the others felt some trepidation when they thought about how this auction house could span various continents . The power backing it was simply too oppressive, who could have the strength to set up such a great business?

A figure flashed in Xue Wei’s mind . It was a young man with long blue hair, blue eyes, and a robe that had a winged snake, a mingshe, embroidered onto it .

As soon as the thought flashed in his mind, he shook his head . He did honestly not think that the owner was Lan . Lan was mysterious, but from what Xue Wei had understood about him, he was immensely lazy . Running a business was not something he was likely to do .

As they went towards the Golden Chambers Auction House, Xue Wei and the others stopped talking about who might be the elusive owner of the business .

As they arrived at the Auction House’s entrance, Xue Wei took out a VIP token he had been given before . The moment the servant noticed the VIP token, their expressions turned dignified, and they respectfully led Xue Wei and the others towards a booth .

These booths were placed on the second, third, and fourth floor . The higher up you were, the more prestigious their status was . Xue Wei was instantly moved to the fourth floor, which was usually reserved for the Royal family .

When they sat down in the booth, they looked down on the auction hall, which was slowly being filled with merchants, nobles, and officials .

This auction had gotten renowned throughout the capital after hearing that a two-colored rainbow pill would appear . They also heard about some immensely rare treasures, and materials would be brought out as the finale for the auction, and thus commoners had no way of making it to the sale this time .

Suddenly a loud voice sounded from outside the booth, "what is the meaning of this?!" the voice sounded as if it came from a middle-aged man, and both Xue Wei and his companions’ ears instantly perked, listening in with curiosity .

"The third booth has always been reserved for his Highness the First Prince! Why would it suddenly be given to someone else?!"

"Lao Fu, calm down," a melodious voice sounded . It did not seem upset or angry . Instead, it gently soothed the mind of those who listened to it .

"I am sure that the Golden Chambers has their own purpose for this," the melodious voice continued . "Who are we to question their way of management . We will accept the booth on the third floor . "

Xue Wei had added together what he had heard them say, and after recognizing the voice, he knew that the First Prince usually reserved the booth that they were in currently .

It was indeed like they said, enemies meet on a narrow road .

Xue Wei had no positive feelings towards the First Prince . Although he had not stepped out of line in front of him, he reminded Xue Wei of a snake .

A snake which would hide in the shadows but strike when you least expected it .

Although he had not acted out of line yet, Xue Wei knew that he was waiting for the opportune moment to attack him .

He would likely do so in the Ascended’s Realm . It was clear that he was feeling threatened by Xue Wei, and he was not even remotely tempted to seek the support of him, he just wanted to get rid of Xue Wei .

When someone held such apparent dislike towards him, Xue Wei was not going to wait around for him to make the first move . As soon as they entered the Ascended’s Realm, he was going to kill this First Prince soundlessly .

Although Xue Wei was thinking about killing someone, nothing could be seen on his expression, and when the silence returned to the room, he also returned to his senses and looked down upon the crowd .

He was surprised to see quite a few familiar faces in the audience, but then it struck him . These geniuses had all learned that their current strength was insufficient, but a two-colored rainbow pill was going to be presented at the auction . All of them ought to be eager to get their hands on it .

Realizing this, Xue Wei smirked . Although a two-colored rainbow pill would not be unusual in the eyes of the owner of the Golden Chamber’s Auction House, it was evident that it would be enough to forge a good relationship with the branch in the Demon Phoenix Continent, which could already be considered very good .

As Xue Wei was feeling thrilled, the light in the hall dimmed, and a slender young woman stepped up onto the stage .

She was alluring, and every man within the auction hall could not help but dotake a double-take on her body . Xue Wei was no exception .

While many of the people looked with undisguised lust, some were looking with appreciation and curiosity . Xue Wei was one of these people .

He had not considered what he thought the auctioneer would look like, but this woman had taken him by surprise .

Although she could sense the many lecherous glances that were sent towards her as she was wearing her tight fitting red dress, she just chuckled and ignored it completely .

While the ordinary people did not know the weight of the Golden Chambers had on the Demon Phoenix Continent, everyone with some status knew that it was an existence that was way above even the Emperor, and thus, although they ogled at the woman, no one dared to take it further .

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to today’s auction here at the Golden Chambers, it is our honor to have so many people attending today .

"Today’s items are of the highest grade; not only do we have a two-colored Rainbow Pill; we also have some resources and herbs that can be considered real heavenly treasures .

However, as you all are aware, our auction house will begin with the lower-ranked items first, and slowly move towards the finale . I can promise you that it will be worth it . "

Everyone had been chatting amongst themselves, but when she opened her mouth, all chatter in the hall disappeared, their focus was on her undisputedly .

Xue Wei was also focusing on her . Not because he was too interested in the things up for sale, nor because he found her alluring, but because he felt a strange familiarity coming from this woman .

It was as if he had met her before somewhere .

Thinking like this, Xue Wei shook his head . It was impossible that he had met her before . If he had, he would definitely recognize her, but he could not pinpoint the feeling of familiarity he felt coming from her .

Eventually, he just shook his head and sighed as he leaned back in the chair and observed as the auction began .

As the woman had said, first up were the more common things . It was either ordinary things in large quantities, or it was items that could not be considered rare .

Xue Wei bought some materials that had been sold in bulks; there was no real fight for these materials, so he picked them up at a reasonable price .

Since the auction house was filled with high ranked experts, these common goods could be bought at reasonable prices since no one had any real interest in them, and wereas not willing to waste their gold before it was time for the things they wanted to be auctioned .

Having as many essence stones as Xue Wei hadgot, one might fear that he would splurge them, nor care about the price he had to pay for the items he wanted or something similar . However, Xue Wei was not willing to be wasteful .

At the same time, he knew that their cultivation would continue for a long time, and thus it would not last them their entire lives . If he was not frugal now, then they would run out sooner or later .

Looking at the stage, nothing of real interest popped up, and soon half the auction had passed . They had been seated in their chairs for a couple of hours, but even so, only a few materials at the beginning had entered their pockets .

Now, that they were halfway, the items were getting rarer and rarer . Unfortunately, there was indeed nothing that Xue Wei was interested in, and instead of paying much attention to the auctioneer and her items on the stage, he observed the people in the hall .

Not many of them raised their hands to bid, but while some of those who did had nervous and uncomfortable expressions, others were calm and collected .

ItT was not before the final third of the auction that Xue Wei’s items made it to the stage .

First up was the Corpse Grass . Although it was a couple of thousand years old, it was, after all, just corpse grass .

Then came the Blood Ginseng . The same logic appeared to this item . Although they were immensely rare and their medicinal potency would be outstanding, they were nothing more than aged standard materials .

Even so, this was the first time that people began bidding like a frenzy during the auction . Every one of the older generations wanted these two items, and they were even willing to fight for them .

After these two came, the Thunder Lily Leaves followed by the Scorpion Tailed Hyacinth .

These two also caused an uproar, but while everyone was overly excited and bid as if their lives depended on it, no one was ever going out of line, nor were they causing problems in the auction hall out of fear for being chased out .

Even more abnormal was it, that no one tried to use their name and rank to pressure others to give up on the items they wanted . Everything within the auction house was fair .

Then, after these herbs came to the two-colored Rainbow Pill, Xue Wei was astounded to know that it had not become the finale, that the finale had ended up being the Ten-Thousand Year Old Lightning Bamboo . It seemed he had to do some more research on what this bamboo could be used as, as he had an enormous quantity of them in his storage treasures .
