Chapter 66: 66: Long River City’s Auction House

Without exaggeration, the City of Long River had become the most prosperous trading hub one could ever imagine in the entire Immortal Beast Realm. In the Long River City’s Auction House, one could buy any item that was harvested from beasts or was found in the wilderness in a weekly auction.

There’s no limit for how many things you could bid in one day as long as you have the money, you could buy anything that was written in the seemingly endless list of items

As for today’s auction, it was the busiest day that the City of Long River has ever experienced in the last thousand years. Before this, the Auction House would only issue Ultra Rare items as the upper limit one could buy to ensure everyone safety as to not attracting old monsters to come down from their mountain and crash the auction in order to obtain the high-rank items.

However, Chief Auctioneer, Lord Zheng Ge announced that there will be Epic and Legendary Rank items in the list! Granted, big clans, families, and many powerful experts emerged from their dwellings to see the items that would be auctioned. On top of that, Chief Auctioneer Zheng Ge had also spread the rumor that there would be living Immortal Beasts that were ready to be enslaved and owned by the highest bidder.

The Auction would last for three nights, and would include hundreds of thousands items that had been collected but not yet sold.

As for the Epic and Legendary items, they would be auctioned in a more private setting to ensure the privacy of the attendees.

Meanwhile, Ash had readied himself in front of the mirror. Although his appearance and appeal was peerless and only second under heaven, he was still wearing the same crimson robe that he got from Zhou Rui. He didn’t like to wear lavish outfits which would only hinder his movement.

As for the evening’s occasion, Ash had no choice but to listen to Yunxian and let her brush his long black hair. She tied his hair into a high ponytail with two divided hair bangs that framed his handsome face down to his broad chest.

Afterward, Yunxian inserted a red jade hairpin to lock the knot together on the back of his head.

"Perfection. Now, you are ready for the battle." Yunxian chimed behind him, resting her delicate hands on his shoulders.

"Thank you, Miss Yunxian," Ash looked at her reflection in the mirror. "Are you not going to come, at all?"

"Unfortunately, yes. The clinic would be very busy as more people would come to trade the medicines."

"I see." Ash nodded. "If that’s the case, I will bring you something nice from the auction."

"You shouldn’t have to, young lord. Please, just focus on your survival, and stay low."

"Hmph...." Ash snorted. "I will try my best to not die."

The carriage was ready in the courtyard by the time Ash stepped out of the guesthouse. After exchanging a nod with everyone, he embarked to the Auction House thereafter.

Before long, the carriage was stopped by the security details by the gate. "Pardon the intrusion. May I see your invitation letter?"

Not wanting any mundane conversation, Ash reaches his hand out of the window with an open later between his fingers. The security was flabbergasted upon seeing the stamp.

"VIP invitee is this way sir."

Afterward, Ash and his entourages climbed down from the carriage and were ushered toward the VIP Booth upstairs. The auction house was fashioned that of a massive opera house with a main stage in the centre.

Ash was simply stunned by the amount of big powerhouses that attended the auction.

Thousands of Body Transformation Cultivators were seated at the lower level while the Qi Gathering and Qi Condensation were seated at the second level. On the other hand, Golden Core Cultivator up to Nascent Soul Cultivator were VIP invitees and they dwelled in their respective VIP Rooms.

Ash could vaguely feel the higher rank Cultivator from his seat. Ash even had to lower his presence till non-existent level so nobody would recognize his true nature.

"Excuse me."

Suddenly, the door was knocked from outside by a meek-sounding girl. Ash glanced at Zhu Yan to tell him to see who the person was.

The shy and timid girl soon offered some refreshments that she brought on the trolley cart. "Erm, would you like some tea and cookies? It’s freshly baked, sir!"

Ash turned his head slightly as he caught a whiff of familiar scent under the tray that she brought. "I would like some tea. But omit the cookies."

"Understood."

The shy and timid girl brought the trolley cart in and began heating the teapot. Her hands were trembling as she poured the tea. Ash sighed in resignation as soon as he figured out who was hiding beneath the cloth.

"I know you are there, Zhou Rui. Stop making problems for the staff, would you?"

"Xixixi." The petite and slim Seamstress chuckled playfully. She then crawled out of the inner compartment of the trolley. "As expected from you, young lord."

"So? What are you doing here?" Ash asked calmly, resting his temple on his fist.

"I need your help to identify some items that I need to finish my project. However, I really doubted the authenticity of the said items. I’d be doomed if I used incorree items for my project."

"From which company did you hear about these items?"

"The Ma Company." Zhou Rui said. "Ma Yuan said that he would sell the Epic Rank Rainbow Steel Silkworm in today’s auction. If what he said is true, I must get it no matter the cost! But, if he lied to me about the rarity, please help me to expose his lie!"

Ash scratched his head in annoyance. However, he couldn’t possibly reject her plea. "Fine. I will see what I can do."

After he said that, the lamps were dimmed, leaving the only one spotlight amidst the stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" Announced the female host from the centre of stage. "Welcome to Long River City’s Auction Week!"
