"It's good that you're alright. Anyway, we're not in a hurry to leave. Let's stay at the City Lord's Mansion for a while longer, and then we'll leave once we find an opportunity to resolve the crisis facing Sect Master Tianyi," Zhao Yuwei said.
Xiao Feng nodded, and the two chatted about other things for a while before hearing the sound of a hammer falling from below.
The auction has officially begun.
The items auctioned by the demon race are indeed different from those of the human race.
Most of the items auctioned here are beneficial to the demon race, with only a small portion being usable by the human race, though the quality of these items is not particularly high.
Xiao Feng didn't find any items he wanted in several auctions.
Although there are auctions of magical artifacts and robes here, the quality of those artifacts and robes is far too low.
Xiao Feng himself didn't lack these things, but he wanted to buy a few sets to give to Zhao Yuwei and Zhao Yun.
After more than a dozen items were auctioned, a robe that Xiao Feng found pleasing finally appeared.
The quality of the first few items auctioned was relatively average.
The quality of this batch of robes is significantly better than the previous ones.
When Xiao Feng saw a figure in a dark blue robe appear, Zhao Yuwei's eyes lit up instantly.
Xiao Feng immediately made a bid and won the robe.
After that, Xiao Feng photographed everything he thought was good-looking and suitable for Zhao Yuwei.
This caused all the guests who came to the auction in the lobby on the first floor to turn their heads and look towards Xiao Feng's private room on the second floor.
However, the guests in the private rooms on the second floor are always kept in the dark.
The materials used in the private rooms can also prevent others from using their spiritual sense to detect the identity of the people inside.
Everyone could only wonder, could the other party be a female demon who bought so many robes?
The robes are not distinguished between humans and demons; anyone who transforms into human form can use them.
The auction allows for the use of not only common spirit stones but also barter transactions.
Xiao Feng had plenty of things, so he decisively took out all the extra items and put them up for auction, and he actually managed to sell a few.
Xiao Feng bought several beautiful sets of Buddhist robes for Zhao Yuwei and Zhao Yun.
Then came a series of spiritual fruits or medicines that only demons could use, which made Xiao Feng bored and drowsy.
The next item up for auction is a scripture.
An unexpected introduction made Xiao Feng's drowsiness slightly dissipate.
“Scriptures? Why would Buddhist things be here?” Xiao Feng was somewhat surprised.
Many guests who shared similar thoughts with Xiao Feng asked why Buddhist scriptures would appear in the demon realm.
The auctioneer in charge of the auction said that it was obtained by chance by one of their powerful demons when he went out to train.
Since I don't need it, I want to put it up for auction to see if it can be sold.
The demon race had no interest in these things, and for a time, no one bid on the scripture.
Xiao Feng wasn't a monk, so naturally he didn't have any particular thoughts about him.
Just before this scripture was about to be distributed, Xiao Feng heard a system notification: "Buy."
Xiao Feng opened his bid.
However, Xiao Feng was not the only one bidding. At the same time as Xiao Feng, someone else made a bid, and the two bid the same price.
After Xiao Feng finished shouting, he communicated with the system.
The system mysteriously told Xiao Feng that this scripture had a significant background and that he would definitely not lose out if he bought it.
Seeing that the system couldn't explain clearly, Xiao Feng didn't ask any further questions. After muttering a few words, he continued to compete with the person below him.
At the auction, seeing that even an item that was initially thought to be unsellable would attract competition, they were overjoyed and kept urging the two to offer a higher price.
Xiao Feng got up and walked to the side of the private room.
People outside the private room cannot see inside, but those inside can see the outside.
Xiao Feng's gaze fell on the human who was competing with him for the scriptures, and he felt that the other party was too much of an eyesore.
Just as Xiao Feng was considering whether to offer a high price and forcefully outbid the other party, he overheard a discussion about the person's identity in the lobby on the first floor.
"Isn't that the owner of the weapon-refining workshop?"
"It really is true. Why is he suddenly so interested in this?"
"Who knows? But that guy sitting in the private room on the second floor is really arrogant, daring to compete with him for the auction item."
"Look at what you're saying. They're sitting in a private room on the second floor, where all the VIPs at the auction are probably not much less powerful than this shopkeeper."
"Do you think this thing might actually have some benefits? Should I join the bidding?"
"Come on, that shop owner has a bad temper. He's very powerful and has branches in many demon cities. Plus, his cultivation level is very high. Let's not provoke him!"
The discussion below continued, but Xiao Feng hesitated to offer another price.
As the auctioneer's gavel fell twice, the person in the lobby on the first floor seemed to notice Xiao Feng's gaze and turned to look at the private room where Xiao Feng was.
Xiao Feng can adjust whether the private room can be seen by outsiders.
He thought the other person was just glancing casually, but their eyes met Xiao Feng's.
Xiao Feng immediately adjusted the situation in the private room, revealing a pair of eyes as cold as stars, and exchanged a slight smile with the other party.
The other party turned his head, and the third hammer fell, finally winning the scripture.
Since the system says this scripture has an extraordinary origin, Xiao Feng is determined to obtain it.
However, Xiao Feng felt a pang of heartache if he asked for any higher price.
Why make him spend so much money when a problem can be solved by gun?
If it were a matter of wealth, he certainly couldn't compete with the owner of this weapon-refining workshop.
Since the other party has opened so many branches, let's just let him buy them.
After this auction ends, I'll follow this person and snatch the item from him directly, saving myself the cost.
To Xiao Feng's surprise, the other party was so perceptive.
Xiao Feng had no doubt that even if the other party couldn't see what was happening inside the private room, they could still tell that he had been watching him.
"It seems that his cultivation level is indeed very high, but it's a pity that he seems to be wearing something that can shield others' senses, so I have no way of knowing his true level."
Xiao Feng felt somewhat regretful.
After watching this not-so-big farce, Xiao Feng returned to his seat.
"You really want that scripture?" Zhao Yuwei asked.
Xiao Feng nodded: "I feel that the scripture is quite significant, and I'm somewhat interested in it. However, the guy competing with me is richer, so I'm too lazy to continue the competition."
Zhao Yuwei nodded, then hesitated for a moment before saying, "Be careful when you go to rob the things later."
Xiao Feng smiled. If it were before, Zhao Yuwei would definitely not have agreed with him solving the problem in this way.
