The maid peeled a fresh lychee, removed the core, and picked it up with an ivory toothpick. She held it in one hand and handed it to Xue Huan with the other. She looked at her with a pair of gentle and affectionate eyes, as if she regarded her as a person she could rely on.
Xue Huan was so embarrassed by her own imagination.
Apart from Pei Ji, she had never been fed like this by anyone else, and she was really not used to it.
"I'll do it myself." She took the ivory pick from the maid and put the crystal clear lychee flesh into her mouth.
It's sweet and juicy. Although not as good as the lychees in her space, it tastes good too.
The maid was a little disappointed that she couldn't feed her herself, but when she saw that she was eating happily, she felt relieved and focused on peeling the lychees, putting the flesh on a plate one by one, and didn't feed her anymore.
It’s so nice to eat lychees without peeling them or spitting out the seeds.
Xue Huan couldn't stop eating one pill after another.
Chang Ming glanced at her and said, "Eating too many lychees can easily cause internal heat, so you should control yourself."
Xue Huan: "It's okay. This lychee is a spiritual fruit. Once it enters my stomach, I will refine it into spiritual power."
But she didn't eat any more in the end.
Downstairs, the auction has begun. The auctioneer is Nan Xing, the head of the black market and Chang Ming's trusted subordinate.
Nanxing stood at the auction table and without saying much nonsense, he simply explained the rules of the auction and then started.
This concise and efficient style won the hearts of all the guests who came to bid.
That's how it should be. They are here to take pictures, not to listen to nonsense. The important thing is to show them what they have.
A tall and beautiful woman wearing a veil walked out gracefully. The moment she came out, everyone in the auction hall was stunned and speechless. For a moment, the huge venue was silent and you could hear a pin drop.
The beauty wore several purple star stone jewelry from head to toe, or to be more precise, ritual implements, ranging from hairpins, hairpin rings, forehead ornaments, earrings, eyebrow studs, veils, necklaces, to armlets, bracelets, rings, bracelets, waist chains, anklets, etc.
With the embellishment of purple star stone, the beauty seems to have gathered all the light in the world, and her beauty is breathtaking.
Nanxing began to introduce the auction items: "This set of purple star stone accessories is also a complete set of magical instruments, which were refined by Master Zhao Xiaoxian. Each magical instrument has reached the second level, and the necklace and bracelet have even reached the third level."
"Master Zhao? I know! The second-level defensive talisman I bought before was made by her. That second-level defensive talisman is even more effective than some third-level talismans! If it weren't for that defensive talisman, I would have died long ago! How could I still be sitting here?"
"Yes, I bought her talismans too. They're really useful! And they're much cheaper than those sold at the Zhou Family Chamber of Commerce!"
"I originally thought Master Zhao was just a talisman master, but I didn't expect she could actually refine weapons! And she's a third-level weapon refiner!"
Everyone at the table was talking about it.
On the stage, Nan Xing continued his introduction. Although the venue was very noisy, he had a loudspeaker in front of him that could carry his voice throughout the auction hall.
"The hairpin is an offensive magic weapon, and it also has the function of storing spiritual power. You don't have to wait until you need it to input spiritual power. You can input spiritual power into it normally and store it, and then release it when you need it. The necklace is a third-level defensive magic weapon, which can withstand the full force of a Jindan cultivator. The bracelet is a storage magic weapon, and the space inside is as large as a room..."
Each piece of jewelry has its own function, and some can be superimposed.
As Nanxing was introducing, the woman acting as a model walked slowly on the stage, showing off every piece of jewelry on her body.
Men are eager to buy it, and women are excited to buy it. Their thoughts at this moment are: Buy it! Buy it! Buy it!
I’ll buy it no matter how much it costs!
"Mr. Nan, just give me your price. How much is it? I can't wait to make an offer!"
"Yes, give me a quote!"
Nan Xing glanced around and was very satisfied with the effect of this set of purple star stone jewelry. "The starting price is one thousand spirit stones. Those who are interested can raise their placards. Each increase in price must not be less than one hundred spirit stones. Now, you can raise your placards."
"One thousand five hundred!"
"two thousand!"
"Five thousand!"
…
The atmosphere can be said to be very lively.
Xue Huan listened to the commotion below and felt a surge of emotion. At the same time, she had a question. She thought that all the bidders would be women, but it turned out that there were quite a few men as well.
On second thought, I felt there was nothing wrong with it.
Can a man buy it and give it to a woman?
In a short while, the price soared to 50,000 spirit stones.
"Senior, have some melon seeds." The maid pushed a plate of clean melon seeds in front of her.
Xue Huan: "Okay, thank you."
Finally, a complete set of purple star stone jewelry and magic tools was bought by a female cultivator at a high price of 380,000, which gave the auction a good start with many climaxes.
The auction held on the black market did not compile the items into a book and distribute it to the guests. One reason was to prevent the guests from leaking the news in advance, and the other was to maintain a sense of mystery so that people would never know what the next item would be.
This will make guests look forward to it even more.
Moreover, without knowing what the next item will be, customers cannot allocate their funds rationally. When they encounter something they want, their emotions will be more easily aroused and they will fall into frenzied bidding.
However, for the behind-the-scenes owner, this kind of thing didn't exist. Chang Ming had a list of the auction items in his hand. When Xue Huan asked, "What's the grand finale of this auction? Can you tell me in advance?"
Changming directly took out the list of items for auction and handed it to her.
Xue Huan took it and took a look. Wow, it was indeed an auction held in the black market. Each and every item was a treasure that could not be seen outside.
It may sound a bit self-boasting to say this, after all, three of the items here were sent by her.
High-level spirit beast eggs, rare skills, top-grade elixirs... and some rare items that are difficult to classify.
"Huh?" Xue Huan exclaimed in surprise when she saw a bronze fish symbol on the list.
The booklet not only recorded the names of the items, but also the appearance of the items. The 29th item was exactly the same as the bronze fish symbol she had bought at a black market stall before.
Her heart beat faster. Could it be that this bronze fish talisman was a pair with the one she bought before?
If that's the case, then she must buy it!
"Are you interested in this bronze fish talisman?" Changming leaned over slightly and looked at the place where her finger was pointing.
Xue Huan did not deny it, "Yeah."
Chang Ming immediately ordered the maid, "Go and replace the bronze fish talisman with something else."
Xue Huan: "...Is this even possible?"
"Why not? Those people don't know what the 29th lot was originally."
Yes.
She had fallen into the misunderstanding that things at the auction could only be bought.
It turns out that if you know the boss, you can get the things directly.
Xue Huan returned the favor, "How about this, I'll pay for the replacement item."
She took out a few things and placed them on the table. "Heavenly Grade Martial Arts, Millennium Spiritual Ginseng, and Spiritual Fat. Choose one of these three."
