Following Yin Tiantian's gaze, Qin Feng and the others indeed saw a notice.
It was a magnificent building with the words "Yongheng Chamber of Commerce" written on the plaque. The notice was posted in a prominent position at the entrance, attracting many onlookers.
Qin Feng and his companions went over and took a look. The notice was very simple, informing them that the Eternal Merchant Guild would be holding a large-scale auction in ten days, and that anyone interested could come to the guild to learn more.
As for what items will be auctioned and what the entry requirements are, no details were provided.
The group was no stranger to auctions; the Treasure Pavilion held them from time to time on the Tianhuang Continent, and they had participated before, obtaining some unexpected items.
Yin Tiantian looked at the notice with excited eyes.
"Junior Brother, Yuexi, Ling'er, I think we should go and take a look. There are bound to be good things at the auction, not to mention immortal herbs and spiritual medicines."
Ao Ling was also someone who loved excitement. "I agree. Speaking of which, we've been in the Immortal Realm for so long and we've never attended an auction."
Leng Yuexi nodded in agreement.
Qin Feng readily agreed, "Then let's go take a look and ask about the situation."
They walked into the Wing Hang Chamber of Commerce, where the goods on display were dazzling and the number of people was also quite large.
Upon noticing Qin Feng and his group enter, a servant came forward to greet them and politely asked, "Is there anything I can do for you?"
Qin Feng explained his purpose, "I saw the news about the auction. How can I participate? Do you have a list of the auction items?"
The servant replied very professionally:
"To participate in the auction, you need to buy an admission ticket, which costs 10,000 Immortal Crystals per person. This is the location in the main hall."
If you want a private room upstairs, the price will vary depending on the floor, with higher prices for higher floors, ranging from 100,000 to 1 million immortal crystals.
In addition, the most prestigious private rooms are on the top floor. Getting into these rooms is not easy; besides immortal crystals, one also needs to have a certain level of influence in Beixuan City.
Each private room offers ten free seats.
The servant paused, secretly observing Qin Feng and the others' reactions to assess their wealth and status.
Yin Tiantian knew the purchasing power of immortal crystals. In a place like the Nine Nether Immortal Realm, an ordinary cultivator's monthly income was only a few hundred immortal crystals.
Here, the entrance ticket alone costs 10,000 Immortal Crystals, and the private room costs even more than 1 million Immortal Crystals.
They're clearly strong, yet they still give you a ticket.
She felt so poor and couldn't help but complain, "It's so expensive, it's robbery!"
Xiao Fan felt the same way as her: it was really expensive! But he didn't show it.
The servant wasn't angry when he heard the complaints; instead, he smiled, as he was used to it.
There are many people coming and going here. The Zhongtian Immortal Realm is rich in resources, and the cultivators are relatively wealthy, so prices are naturally higher than in other immortal realms.
It's normal for someone visiting Beixuan City for the first time to think it's expensive; if they don't react after hearing this, they must be rich.
When the servant saw Qin Feng and his group, only one person remarked, "These are all rich people."
He became even more enthusiastic and continued:
"The fairy is joking. Prices are clearly marked. Business is about mutual consent. If you think it's suitable, you can buy it. If not, we won't force you."
Regarding the auction list, admission to the private rooms is provided free of charge to VIPs who purchase tickets, while admission to the main hall requires a fee of one thousand Immortal Crystals.
Qin Feng wasn't short of money at the moment, so he quickly made a decision: "Then give us a private room for 100,000 immortal crystals."
Seeing how readily he agreed, the servant's eyes lit up. "Young master is truly generous. Please pay the bill here."
After paying, Qin Feng received an information jade slip and a token.
The jade slip recorded information about the auction items; the token served as proof of entry and was engraved with the words "Huang Er".
After finishing their business, Qin Feng and his group of five planned to leave, as the auction was still ten days away.
The servant stopped them, smiling broadly as he said:
"Distinguished guests, please wait a moment. If I'm not mistaken, this is your first time visiting Beixuan City, is it? Our merchant guild offers accommodation services. Would you like to join us?"
Don't worry, it's right here nearby, next to the auction venue. The location is excellent, and the environment is beautiful, which can meet the daily cultivation needs of a Celestial Emperor.
The price is fair, only 100,000 immortal crystals per day, and you get a 10% discount if you stay for ten days or more, it's a great deal.
The servant looked at Qin Feng expectantly after he finished speaking.
Qin Feng was considering whether or not to go. There were still ten days left, and they couldn't leave Beixuan City for the time being.
Yin Tiantian couldn't hold back any longer. Ten thousand immortal crystals a day, ten days' stay would be a million immortal crystals, that's practically robbery! How could she agree to that?
"Junior brother, why don't we take a walk around first and then talk?"
Qin Feng also felt there was no need to rush, so he went along with her wishes and said to the servant, "Thank you for your trouble, let's take another look."
The servant was a little disappointed, but quickly recovered, "Alright, I'll see you off."
He was very hospitable and escorted us directly to the gate, casually asking, "May I ask your honorable surname, sir?"
Qin Feng raised an eyebrow. Why ask for a form of address at this time? Was he overthinking it? But a form of address doesn't necessarily mean anything.
He replied casually, "Qin."
The servant warmly saw them off, saying, "Welcome, Young Master Qin, and all of you, to visit us again next time."
Qin Feng and his group of five left the Chamber of Commerce and wandered around elsewhere.
Watching them leave, the servant's enthusiastic smile faded, a deep sadness settling in his eyes, before he turned and went inside.
Throughout the journey, Yin Tiantian kept complaining about how corrupt the Yongheng Chamber of Commerce was, rambling on and on.
"That's too expensive. It costs 100,000 immortal crystals a day. 100,000 immortal crystals! If I were to earn that myself, I don't know how long it would take."
Xiao Fan nodded repeatedly, deeply agreeing, and said:
"Yes, this is too expensive. The cost here is beyond what a lowly True Immortal like me can afford. It seems I need to work harder to earn Immortal Crystals."
Qin Feng smiled. He didn't really have a concept of immortal crystals. Whenever he lacked cultivation resources, kind people would always send them to him, so he basically didn't have to worry about it.
He handed the jade slip containing the information to Leng Yuexi without even glancing at it.
Leng Yuexi took the jade slip and began to examine it, a smile quickly spreading across her face.
Seeing her sister's smiling face, Xiao Fan knew she must have found something good, and asked curiously, "Sister, what did you find that makes you so happy?"
Qin Feng and Yin Tiantian also became curious and looked at Leng Yuexi.
Leng Yuexi smiled and said, "Indeed, we have discovered a few good things that are very helpful for strengthening the body and nourishing the vital energy. They are excellent elixirs, and we should try our best to obtain them."
Yin Tiantian became even more curious, "Yuexi, let me see, which ones are they?"
Leng Yuexi handed over the jade slip and explained:
"Purple Cloud Fruit, Dragon Heart Stone, and Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus, these three things."
The Purple Cloud Fruit, combined with Golden Bone Grass and One-Line Red, can be refined into an excellent elixir for strengthening the body, which will be of great use to my parents.
The uses of the snow lotus are even more numerous: it warms and dispels cold, and cleanses chronic illnesses.
Dragon Heart Stone, though called a stone, is not actually a stone. It is formed from the heart blood and bone marrow of a demon beast at least in the Royal Realm, which are then attached to a spirit stone and condensed. It has the effect of strengthening and sublimating the body.
The effect is doubled if the ancient snow lotus and dragon heart stone are used together.
