Two days later.
Phoenix Empire Chamber of Commerce Building, the top floor.
There is only one auction venue on this floor, which opens every five years. Every item that appears is priceless, attracting major forces from all over the country.
In the past, many people spent a fortune for the last few treasures, and even fought after the event.
With the Fengyan Volcano incident first and the five-year auction later, Phoenix City suddenly became the most popular city in the Chiyan Empire, with a huge flow of people.
Businesses took advantage of this opportunity to organize promotions, hotels were packed every day, and rooms were in short supply.
When powerful people gather together, conflicts and disputes will follow. In order to prevent them from affecting the lives of ordinary citizens, the City Lord's Mansion mobilized every official to adjust road planning, strengthen patrols, and improve the level of punishment.
"Qingfeng Palace, Hongwu Gate, Yanyu, these three big guys are here too?" Chen Zhong sat at a tea table with no sense of presence, drinking iced coffee poured by the waiter.
From the elevator opposite, well-known spiritual warriors kept coming out.
When Wang Dezhi, the leader of Hongwumen, discovered Chen Zhong, Chen Zhong gave him a look.
Wang Dezhi nodded and went straight into the venue.
The people at the next table were chattering away, and Chen Zhong was eavesdropping quietly.
"That's the latest Rookie King of the Flame Prison, right? He seems to call himself Charmander?"
"That's him! I heard he reached the terrifying sixth level of the Minor Success Realm at the age of nineteen!"
"It seems the Flame Prison Sect Master wants to take him in as his disciple. Tsk tsk, he's already a monstrous genius, and now he has a master in a high position of power. His future is limitless."
Chen Zhong looked over and saw that among Yanyu's group, there was an imposing young man between the second elder who was at the ninth level of the Soul Tempering Realm and the fourth elder who was at the fifth level of the Soul Tempering Realm.
He is not handsome, but he exudes a strong aura, like a walking human Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Just by looking at his appearance, you can tell that he is a powder keg that can explode at any time.
"Charmander?" Chen Zhong chuckled, "I'm also a garlic turtle!"
Someone approached, it was Chu Chen.
Chen Zhong followed, "What?"
"There are a total of twelve items in this auction. The Fire Fortress Rock Dust is the fifth item to be auctioned. There is only one piece, and the starting price is 10,000 Spirit Stones," Chu Chen replied. "Spirit Stones are not a problem. The biggest obstacle is the Inferno."
"Hmm?" Chen Zhong snorted.
"Yanyu attaches great importance to the Fire Fortress Rock Dust. Once it appears outside, they will definitely take it back. Although they will not take action directly for the sake of the empire's face, they will definitely spend a lot of money to buy it. If it is bought by someone, it will be okay for a powerful force of the same level, but if someone without background gets it, it will probably be difficult for him to use the Fire Fortress Rock Dust while he is still alive." Chu Chen explained.
Chen Zhong waved his hand. "That's fine. When the time comes, you can make an offer first to test the waters. Don't rush in. I'll handle the details as they arise."
Chen Zhong took out a facial mask and put it on. He still had to take some simple precautions.
The auction hall is very large, as large as a football field, with eight large screens hanging in the middle. It is divided into two floors, with ordinary seats on the lower floor and private rooms on the upper floor that require status and money to own.
Chen Zhong did not follow Chu Chen, but sat in an inconspicuous seat on the first floor.
He wanted to separate from the Beast Blood Sect and not let anyone know that he had a deep relationship with the Beast Blood Sect. This would also prevent the Beast Blood Sect from offending Yan Yu.
Looking at the heads of the people in the packed seats, Chen Zhong couldn't help but sigh that there were actually quite a few spiritual warriors in the lower world. As the spiritual power between heaven and earth became more abundant, there would be more and more people with the potential to be spiritual warriors. Sooner or later, the society of ordinary people would collapse and be replaced.
Although none of the people here are the strongest, Chen Zhong is still extremely cautious. He maintains his aura at the fifth or sixth level of the Blood Surge Realm. With a slight shake of his forearm, the smoke talisman and explosion talisman hidden in his sleeves can slide into his palm.
Bang!
Admission ended and the lights suddenly went out.
Then, the spotlight shone on the platform in the middle, and a figure slowly rose from below.
The Imperial Chamber of Commerce, also known as the Royal Commercial Co., Ltd., in short, this chamber of commerce is named after the Yu family and is the private asset of the Yu family. It has nothing to do with the empire itself.
"Hello, seniors~"
The sound is sweet, but not cloying at all.
A tall girl in her early twenties, wearing diamond-studded high heels, fine black stockings, and a hip skirt. Her arms were as white as snow, she had a typical oval face, slightly curly long hair, and delicate features.
Well, a standard center-position figure in a girl group, a template appearance that Chen Zhong is least interested in.
"Nice to meet you all again. I'm Yu Lingyue, and I'll be organizing today's auction. Hehe, please don't be stingy with your wallets, seniors. The more effort you put in, the higher my salary will be!"
Yu Lingyue?
A member of the Emperor's clan, he is of the same generation as Yu Lingli.
Chen Zhong listened attentively to the discussions of the people around him.
"This is Prince Rongshan's youngest daughter!"
"I heard that this young princess doesn't like the constraints of the royal family and often travels around various major cities."
Prince Rongshan, the elder brother of the current Emperor Chiyan, owns the largest hotel in Jinxiu City.
Yu Lingyue's status is extremely noble, yet she came to preside over the auction. It seems that she is really a troublemaker as rumored.
"Oh!" Chen Zhong rubbed his temples, feeling a little annoyed.
This woman had been blabbering on for nearly half an hour, talking about all sorts of random things, and it took her a long time to get to the point.
"Hehe, then I won't ramble on any further. The first lot is... a blind box gift pack of talismans from the Shangshan Sect of Tianyan Academy. It's also a special edition for the auction, making it the perfect gift for a junior!"
A platform rose from below, and on the platform was an exquisite box carved from gold and jade.
