The Yunduan Auction is the largest auction in Cangxiu Country because the owner behind it is the Yun family, one of the four great families.
The reason the Yun family was able to join the ranks of the four great families was largely due to the Cloud Auction. Everyone knew that the Yun family was the wealthiest family in the world, capable of rivaling a nation.
At this time, the cloud auction is holding its monthly large-scale auction.
Mu Huan, dressed in men's clothing, stood in front of the Cloud Auction Hall in a stealthy manner. Don't ask where Mu Huan got the men's clothing, because she had painstakingly gone to Bing Tuozi to pick it up last night.
The Bingtuozi that Mu Huan mentioned was specially selected by Mu Yuntian from the twelve guards of the Mu family to protect Mu Huan. She was the only girl among the twelve guards, named Yueying, and had a unique hobby of liking dark-colored men's clothing.
"It is said that the Yun family is rich enough to rival a country. I wonder what treasures they will have today." He rubbed his hands secretly. If someone didn't know, they would think that Mu Huan was here to rob.
He took out the invitation letter he had gotten from his father and walked in with a swagger.
"Ah!" Mu Huan accidentally bumped into someone passing by, staggered, and was just about to say sorry.
"Sorry!" A deep, magnetic voice echoed in her ears. Could this be the legendary ears that can make you pregnant? Mu Huan froze for a moment, then turned to see a man with perfect facial features. His dark hair cascaded down his face, draping over his right shoulder. A crimson headband was casually tied around his head. Although his face was covered by a mask, it was still possible to tell that he was a peerless beauty.
"So beautiful!" Mu Huan watched the man walk straight past him, and saw him go up to the second floor with his own eyes, but he was still standing there in a daze.
"Sir, the auction is about to begin, please take a seat!" As expected of a cloud auction, the servants were so well-educated and did not show any disrespect to Mu Huan.
"Okay." Mu Huan came back to his senses and walked towards his seat.
"What's wrong with me? I'm going crazy!" Mu Huan slapped his red face with both hands. "Remember, you're here to do business today, not to see beautiful women."
So, she sat upright with a serious look on her face, which almost made people believe that she was a serious person.
"Welcome everyone to the Cloud Auction!" The speaker was the head of the Cloud Auction. Mu Huan recognized him. It was he who led the team of the four great families in the first trial, although he himself did not go.
"It seems that this cloud auction is really something. So many people came to a small auction." Mu Huanxin understood.
"Today's auction is different from usual. We have changed the previous rules." The top leader, Yun Sheng, the second master of the Yun family, paused and glanced casually somewhere on the second floor.
Then he continued, "There is no specific price for all the items being auctioned today. The highest bidder wins! Of course, bartering is also possible. As long as you have items that you value enough, you can exchange them for auction."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was surprised, but even more so, satisfied. Because in this situation, using power to pressure others was the best way to get the desired item. However, those present were all prominent figures, and accidents were inevitable during the auction.
Mu Huan lay in a reclining chair, his expression composed. He casually picked up a cup of tea and took a sip. "Interesting!" he muttered, glancing towards a spot on the second floor before quickly withdrawing his gaze.
I remembered my father's words, "Don't cause trouble. Once you've taken what you want, come back quickly and don't stay too long." Dad, oh Dad, this is not up to me. I looked around and saw that with such an unsteady secret guard, the Yun family was also doomed.
"It looks like something is really going to happen."
"The auction begins now." Yunsheng left the stage and was replaced by a woman in extremely revealing clothing, a bright red short skirt that revealed her slender calves. The heavy breathing of the people present could be faintly heard.
"Tsk tsk tsk, so vulgar." Although Mu Huan said this, she could not hide her eyes that became bright when she saw a beauty.
"My name is Hong Zhao. I will be introducing the items for today's auction." Her sweet voice nearly drowned most of the men present. This was a major feature of the cloud auction: beauty attracts customers.
"Sister, please hurry up. We can't wait any longer." Mu Huan leaned in front of the railing and blinked at Hong Zhao in a funny way. Looking like this, he really looked like a playboy.
"This young master is quite anxious!" Hong Zhao covered his mouth and chuckled. "Today's first lot is a bottle of third-grade potion." Before Hong Zhao could finish, the scene exploded.
A third-grade potion, it has not appeared in so many years. Although the Xiuling Continent is called Xiuling, but since the great war with the upper realm a thousand years ago, the spiritual power has become increasingly thin, and it has become increasingly difficult to cultivate the spirit.
What's more, training a pharmacist is not so difficult. The first and second grades are fine, but the higher you go, the more difficult it is to cultivate. Everyone had a plan in mind. No matter what the effect of this potion is, no matter how much it costs, they must buy it.
Hong Zhao understood and continued, "This third-grade potion is a soul-restoring potion. It can heal injuries from any attack below the level of a Spirit King, except for attacks from specific spiritual practitioners. There is no starting price. Everyone, it's up to you to bid based on your ability." Hong Zhao was also a little excited because this was the first time she had seen this auction method.
The whole audience was boiling almost instantly.
"One thousand crystal stones!" It was a sky-high price. Of course, in the eyes of the big families, this was nothing, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it was a year's living expenses.
“Two thousand.” “Five thousand.”…
The sound of bidding came one after another.
"One thousand," Mu Huan said. "Spirit stones!" His usual sly smile hung on his face. The whole place fell silent.
"You little brat, can you afford a thousand spirit stones? If not, don't get involved!" The speaker was Jin Duoduo, the head of the Jin family, the second largest merchant in Cang Xiu Country. Although his name sounds silly, he is a very smart person, otherwise he would not have become the second only to the four major families in this huge Cang Xiu Country.
"Oh, I was wondering who it was. It turns out to be the owner of Qian Duoduo's house. Oh no, it's the owner of Jin Duoduo's house." Mu Huan looked "surprised" and pretended to be innocent.
Turning to Hong Zhao, he said, "Sister Hong Zhao, didn't you just say that the highest bidder wins? Why am I being threatened now that I'm paying?" Mu Huan patted his flat chest, pretending to be scared, "Ah, these days, even if you have a little money, people will suspect you. Forget it, I'm not buying it. I'd better leave."
What a good move to shift the blame, Hong Zhao groaned in his heart, but he still had to step in to mediate, after all, this was related to the reputation of the cloud auction.
"Don't be angry, young master. The rules set by the cloud auction will not change. Rules are rules after all, and naturally the highest bidder wins!" Hong Zhao explained with a smile.
"This young master is offering a thousand spirit stones. Is there anyone who can offer a higher price?"
