Chapter 224: Chapter 224: Fenghuang City Qian Pavilion (2)_1

"Does everyone here have one of these? Why is it an invitation from Qian Pavilion’s auction and not from some other place?" Dugu Qianye asked, looking at the invitation in his hand, Hao Pengyou.

"How could they? Only guests above a certain level receive one. Moreover, many people come to Fenghuang City specifically for Qian Pavilion’s auction. Even if they don’t have anything particular they want to bid on, it’s still a good idea to go and have a look. That’s why Qian Pavilion’s auctions are always bursting with popularity."

"Oh." Dugu Qianye nodded then turned and went back to his own room. Hao Pengyou turned and entered the room opposite.

"This scale is quite a bit higher than the auctions on the Xuanyue Continent!" Dugu Qianye remarked as he looked at the list of items, "Pity, there’s no Fuyu Flower."

"Master, perhaps you could ask at the auction, or offer something for trade and see if you can come across it," Xiaojiu suggested.

"Right, we could also check with the Alchemist Guild, where there’s a wide variety of medicinal ingredients," Qingluan said.

"We might find that stingy master," Dugu Qianye suggested, "Perhaps he holds a not-so-low position in the Spiritual Master Association and could help us search. Or we could make a trade."

"Shall we go out and have a look tomorrow?" Xiaohuo suggested, suddenly flopping down beside Dugu Qianye.

"Yes, we’ll go and take a look tomorrow," Dugu Qianye said, "Let’s rest now."

The next day, Dugu Qianye went to Qian Pavilion, while Hao Pengyou stayed in the hotel to sleep.

With a beast carriage arranged by the hotel, Dugu Qianye soon arrived at Qian Pavilion. After getting off, the coachman drove the beast carriage to the designated resting area of Qian Pavilion.

Standing outside Qian Pavilion, Dugu Qianye noticed the decor bore some resemblance to Qian Pavilion’s on the Xuanyue Continent. Could there really be a connection between the Qian Pavilions here and on the Xuanyue Continent?

"Welcome!"

As soon as Dugu Qianye walked in, Xiao’er greeted him enthusiastically. Dugu Qianye nodded at Xiao’er, indicating he wanted to look around on his own. Xiao’er politely stepped aside.

"Sister, this place really does look like Qian Pavilion on the Xuanhuan Continent!" Xiaohuo said, holding Dugu Qianye’s hand.

"It does indeed," Dugu Qianye said while observing.

"Sister, let’s go upstairs and take a look," Xiaohuo suggested.

The other beasts were either off cultivating or had left to play on their own, leaving only Xiaohuo accompanying Dugu Qianye.

The two of them went up to the third floor, which was dedicated to selling Spiritual Artifacts. Looking around, she did not find any musical instruments among the Spiritual Artifacts.

"Miss, may I help you?" A Xiao’er noticed Dugu Qianye and approached her to ask.

Dugu Qianye turned and saw a beautiful woman smiling at her. She smiled back and said, "I’m looking for a musical instrument."

"A musical instrument?" The beautiful woman was somewhat surprised by Dugu Qianye’s request. This was a place selling Spiritual Artifacts, why would they have musical instruments for sale?

"Ahem, I mean the kind of musical instrument that can be used for attacks," Dugu Qianye said.

"I’m sorry, we don’t have any..."

The beauty was about to say no when a butler-like figure happened to pass by and overheard Dugu Qianye’s words. He asked, "Are you looking for musical spiritual artifacts?"

Seeing the butler arrive, the beauty stepped back.

Dugu Qianye nodded and asked, "Do you have any here?"

"We do have some, but it has been a long time since anyone bought such spiritual artifacts, so we put them away," the butler said. "However, we don’t have many musical spiritual artifacts. I’m not sure if we have what you are looking for."

"A flute or a guzheng will do," Dugu Qianye said. She knew how to play both instruments from her past life and would need to learn any other instruments from scratch.

"There is indeed a guzheng. Please wait a moment," the butler thought for a moment and then summoned a Xiao’er to fetch it from the storeroom.

Soon after, Xiao’er came over carrying a box with an antique floral pattern.

The butler took the box, placed it on the table, opened it, and pushed it in front of Dugu Qianye.

"Take a look. This guzheng, both in design and material, is top-notch, a superior-grade holy artifact. Due to its high level, it can’t be priced as an ordinary musical instrument, so it has never been sold."

Dugu Qianye picked up the guzheng, lightly plucked the strings, and a clear sound rang out.

"The tone is quite nice," Dugu Qianye remarked, then examined the patterns on the guzheng, which were quite ornate. "Is this the only one?"

"Yes. Moreover, other than Qian Pavilion, you won’t find another anywhere else," the butler said.

"Does it have a name? And how much is it?" Dugu Qianye asked.

"The person who brought it in for sale said it’s called ’Charm’," the butler replied, appearing quite fond of such a forthright customer. "It was originally priced at one million Purple Coins, but now for you, it’s discounted to ninety-five percent of the price. It will cost you 950,000."

One million Purple Coins was a reasonable price for a superior-grade holy artifact. After some thought, Dugu Qianye took out the VIP card Qu Xiaotian had given her and asked, "Can I use this card here?"

Upon seeing the VIP card Dugu Qianye presented, the butler laughed and said, "This is our Qian Pavilion’s intermediate-level VIP card which can, of course, be used. With this card, you get a ten percent discount when you shop at Qian Pavilion. Haha, I didn’t expect you to have a VIP card. Here I was, offering you a discount, which now seems superfluous! Only our Young Master can issue this card. I’m surprised you know our Young Master."

"Uh, I got this while I was at Xuanyue Continent from someone called Qu Xiaotian. He said he was the Young Master of the local Qian Pavilion branch, but I didn’t know if he was your Young Master," Dugu Qianye said.

"Haha, indeed, he is our Young Master. I hadn’t realized you were friends with the Young Master from Xuanyue Continent. Our Young Master has only been there once," the butler said delightedly. "Next month, the annual auction will be held at the Qian Pavilion auction in Fenghuang City. The Young Master will be there as well. He will definitely be pleased to see you."

Dugu Qianye responded that their acquaintance was brief, and he might not even remember her.

With the VIP card in hand, Dugu Qianye received a ten percent discount when purchasing the guzheng, paying 900,000 for it. She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but she felt as though the guzheng was suffused with spiritual energy, as if it were alive.

Afterward, Dugu Qianye inquired about details surrounding the auction. The rules for participating in the auction were similar to those on Xuanyue Continent, requiring either auctionable items or a substantial net worth! The invitation she received from Tengge Hotel the previous day was only sent to those with status, indicating wealth or nobility.

"I’d like to ask if there are any Fuyu Flowers for sale?" Dugu Qianye inquired.

"Fuyu Flower?" The butler recalled for a moment then said, "No, there aren’t any. The last time Fuyu Flowers were sold was five years ago, and since then, there have been no reports of them appearing anywhere. If I encounter any in the future, I will make sure to notify you."

"Thank you for that," Dugu Qianye sincerely thanked him.
