Chapter 503: Chapter 502: A Place Developing in Another Direction

After staying here for two days, Peter Brown had learned some information about this place.

The city’s controller was called the City Lord. In this underwater world, there were many City Lords, and almost every one of them had at least Foundation Establishment stage cultivation.

Although there were racial divisions - the Sea Clan being first-class, the Mixed Blood Clan second-class, and the Human Clan third-class -, ever since the Human Clan’s influence had risen, the hierarchy in some cities had turned upside down.

However, in the city where Peter resided, the City Lord was from the Sea Clan, a Foundation Establishment stage powerhouse, so the hierarchy still placed the Sea Clan at the top.

Of course, this place was also a world of the wealthy; as long as there was money, one could naturally enjoy various pleasures.

What surprised Peter the most was that the upper level absolutely prohibited the development of technology, and anyone who did so would be executed.

This policy puzzled Peter, and he could not understand why it was so.

Regardless, since he had arrived here, Peter planned to settle down and learn about the underwater world.

"Peter, we can go to the auction now," said Daniel Swift, smiling.

"Let’s go!" Peter was also excited; if he could successfully auction, his living expenses here would be resolved.

As they arrived at a bustling area, Daniel said, "Pay attention along the way, and don’t provoke those from the Sea Clan. By the way, as long as they are from the Sea Clan, their bodies will have imprints of their original forms, which are easy to recognize."

Sure enough, Peter saw a beautiful woman who unexpectedly had a small fish-like imprint on her face.

When looking at a fierce young man, his arm had a large shell, clearly a turtle’s original form.

Watching the Sea Clan walking in front, followed closely by the Mixed Blood Clan and the Human Clan, Peter gained some new insights into the development of this society.

"Peter, the situation here is like this: as long as you have power, you can naturally enjoy all sorts of pleasures, otherwise you will become a lowly citizen."

When they arrived at the auction firm, they saw two Qi-refining level 10 people guarding the entrance. Daniel handed over a sign, and the two looked at Peter. Daniel hurriedly said, "He is a VIP of the auction firm."

"Don’t cause trouble."

After saying this, they let Peter and the others enter.

"Can’t help it; the Sea Clan is a first-class race, and we must listen to them even if we are wealthy." Daniel sighed.

Peter had adapted to the development situation here and walked in with a faint smile.

After entering, Peter saw many people inside. Each person could receive a piece of clothing that covered their entire body after paying some Sea Coins.

"Put it on. In places like this, the auctioneer offers such a service for everyone’s safety. We might attract powerful forces when bidding or auctioning later."

After wearing it, Peter felt that the clothing completely hid his breath. Those who were unaware could not recognize anyone’s identity.

Daniel handed a whistle-like object to Peter and said, "Put this in your mouth when you speak. Your voice will change, and no one will know your identity."

Such thoughtful arrangements!

Peter was very satisfied with the way this auction firm worked.

Once Peter was ready, Daniel led him through a crowd of people wearing the same attire and then into an upstairs room.

"How about it? The arrangements here are quite concealed, right? The people in the hallway are their staff, and their purpose is to hide our identity after we pass through. If I hadn’t made a mark on your clothes, I wouldn’t have recognized you."

"Won’t others be able to make marks too?"

Peter was also curious about this marking matter.

Daniel said, "Rest assured, as long as you pay attention in the future, this shouldn’t happen."

The two sat in a space where only the inside could be seen from the outside, and the outside could not be seen from the inside.

"Everyone has a room like this. Only the auctioneer will know who won the auction."

Looking out, Peter saw shadows in each room, but he couldn’t see what the other party looked like.

The auction firm took care of every single detail!

The entire hall was filled with individual compartments, which wouldn’t affect anyone’s situation. The compartments were set up by formations and constantly moving within.

"I didn’t expect this auction firm to be so detailed!"

Peter couldn’t help but admire the situation here.

"There’s no other way. This is a caste-based system. If we don’t do this, it’s suicidal for lower-caste races to participate in auctions. Only by doing so can more wealthy human people participate, and the auctioneer can make money."

"Is the auction firm set up by the Sea Clan’s City Lord?" Seeing the situation, Peter guessed.

Nodding, Daniel said, "That’s right! This auction firm was set up by the Sea Clan’s City Lord. That’s why their business is so good. And, putting the Lingcao up for auction here is safer."

"What kind of Lingcao is there in the Sea Clan?"

Daniel said, "There are some Lingcao, but their medicinal effects are much weaker compared to those that grow on land. Actually, the underwater world has taken a different path regarding elixirs, using seabed materials."

As they spoke, a charming woman walked onto the stage with a smile.

"Distinguished guests, honored hosts, today is our auction firm’s day to auction items once again. We have many auction items this time, including many cultivation resources that everyone needs. We hope you can gain something from this auction. Alright, I’ll be hosting today’s auction. My name is Celina."

As she spoke, the formation in the room was activated, and the room was now covered by the formation.

Peter was attending such an auction for the first time and was curious. He tried to extend his Divine Sense to investigate but found that his Divine Sense could not be extended here.

For the sake of confidentiality, it seems that they have done their job to the extreme!

Seeing this situation, Peter was more at ease.

Peter had many Lingcaos on him, and if it was safe here, Peter wouldn’t mind exchanging his Lingcaos for some useful items. By now, he had deeply felt that he needed to improve his cultivation.
