Chapter 357 Auction Begins
Upon hearing what he said, Gu Qing quickly squeezed his hand back.
"Thank you, Achuan."
"It's okay. He used to come from there. Although we don't keep in touch much now, we still have some connections."
"Plus what I arranged before, we won't do anything else, just help with the contact, there shouldn't be any problem."
Gu Qing thought for a moment and then said, "With Bai Yujie here, Fan Chao can be relied on. If he goes there in person, could I ask him to bring some things with him?"
Bo Chuan looked at her eager eyes and nodded. "You can start preparing when we get back, and then we'll have Fan Chao set off."
"I don't need to wait for me to get back before I hand the things over to him, so he can leave as soon as possible," Gu Qing said anxiously.
The others watched with envy, but knowing little about the situation, they couldn't say anything.
Before Bo Chuan could say anything, the auction began.
A handsome, tall man in a well-fitting suit walked up with a smile on his face.
He bowed to everyone before going on stage and then began to introduce the auction. The first item was a set of jewelry inlaid with energy stones. Of course, it couldn't compare to the one Gu Qing wore, but it was still a pretty good piece.
However, because it was too glamorous, Gu Qing didn't like it and didn't participate in the bidding, but the bidding below was very fierce.
One of the private rooms also followed suit, bidding twice, but the individual bidders below still won the bid.
Next up are some pills of high quality, the lowest being a level 5 Marrow Cleansing Pill. The auction for pills is even more intense than that for jewelry.
Gu Qing participated in the bidding, mainly wanting to bring some over to Chen Xingheng, but because there was a planet waiting there, she remained relatively restrained.
When the last eighth-grade pill was auctioned off, the host on stage was suddenly changed. This time, the man who came up was a little older.
His voice was very magnetic, and a few words were enough to calm down the excitement he had felt from the pills.
He then gave a grand introduction.
A square box was pushed up. The host, having built up some suspense, pressed the button. As the curtain separating the stage fell, a yellow halo illuminated the entire platform.
It was an energy stone nearly twenty cubic meters in size. Energy stones naturally radiate light, let alone one of such a large size. The host then introduced the energy stone, mentioning its energy purity, specific weight, and energy stability.
The auction hall suddenly became lively, filled with buzzing discussions. It's no wonder everyone was so excited; when Gu Qing first dug up the blue crystal, the largest piece only measured seven or eight cubic meters.
The entire frame, including all the corners, didn't exceed seventy cubic meters. It was so precious back then because the blue crystal was so pure and stable, making it the top choice for purifiers, alchemists, and others when they were advancing in their careers.
After the host announced the starting price, people in the upstairs private rooms began ringing their bells to bid. After several rounds, the price was driven up, and the individual investors downstairs fell silent.
Lou Xiaoyu also joined in the bidding for two rounds, then stopped. He had money to spend, and he still had high-level energy stones at home, so he didn't want to waste his credit points for the time being.
At this moment, another price was called from VIP box number 6, and at the same time, the loudspeaker was turned on, and a slightly hoarse female voice came through. "I would appreciate it if everyone here could give the Qi family some face. Thank you all."
Knowing that Gu Qing didn't understand, Lou Xiaoyu quickly explained to her, "The Qi family produces weapon refiners, and because of their complete lineage, they have a high status in the Federation."
At this moment, another private room turned on its light and called out a new price. Immediately afterwards, a clear and gentle voice came from inside, "Qin Yuan of the Qin family apologizes to Master Qi. This energy stone is perfect for my sister's advancement, so I apologize for the offense."
"Ha!" Lou Xiaoyu and the others scoffed and continued to explain. "This is the acting commander of the Xuanwu Legion."
"Um?"
Seeing Gu Qing's confusion, Bo Chuan explained, "Qin Yuan has a younger sister, and the legion will be inherited by her in the future."
"His sister is a fighter, or she has a high talent for leading troops." Gu Qing thinks that women who awaken as fighters seem to have strong combat power.
"No, she's a B-level Purifier." Lou Xiaoyu's sarcasm was even more pronounced.
"Then why?" Gu Qing was a little confused. How could someone who was not a fighter and had no military talent take over a legion?
After she asked the question, she realized that all three of them were looking at her. Then Bo Chuan sighed and rubbed her head.
