Chapter 524: Layer upon layer of screening, who is it for?
Helpless, Xuanyuan Batian said to Lu Xingchen, "Master Lingguang, it's a pleasure to meet you again!"
Lu Xingchen gave him a cold look and ignored him.
Chu Hongyi then shouted in a high-pitched voice, "Master is unhappy. Sending gold coins, Hong Liu, are you stupid?"
Xuanyuan Batian, his hands trembling, handed Lu Xingchen a bag of gold coins: "Master, it's a pleasure to meet you. This is a bag of gold coins..."
Lu Xingchen glanced at it: "2000 gold coins?"
Chu Hongyi: "Sigh, only giving 2000 gold coins, who are you trying to embarrass? Master Ren Lingguang doesn't care!"
Everyone looked at Xuan Yuan Batian, their faces full of surprise.
2000 gold coins?
How can you possibly present that to someone?
This is Master Lingguang!
Master Lingguang is very skilled; a single garment she makes can easily sell for two or three hundred thousand gold coins.
If it weren't for her love of brewing unusual and strange wines, she would have countless gold coins by now.
Do they even care about 2000 gold coins?
Everyone's eyes were burning with accusations against Xuanyuan Batian.
Xuanyuan Batian reluctantly offered 10,000 gold coins.
Lu Xingchen accepted it; why not take it if it's free? It's said that Master Lingguang also accepts gifts.
Yes, she did it so as not to ruin her public image.
It's absolutely not because I'm greedy!
"Hello everyone!" Suddenly, Old Ji's voice rang out.
Everyone looked towards the platform.
Mr. Ji: "The owner of the auctioned item has something to attend to and cannot return for the time being. I will now preside over the auction on his behalf."
It finally started.
Many people breathed a sigh of relief.
Mr. Ji: "However, the owner of the auction item has set some conditions before. We need to conduct some screening before the auction. Those who do not meet the conditions will not be eligible to bid."
Many people were unhappy with these words.
I've worked so hard to get here and waited for so long, and now you say you're not qualified?
Old Master Ji said in a deep voice, "This is Master Babu's request. Please understand that this auction is not just a competition of wealth!"
Master Babu?
At this point, many people fell silent.
Master Babu might come up with some strange and unusual conditions.
Is this really something he bid on? Or could it actually be stolen goods?
Although Master Babu has retired from the hobby for many years, what if he gets addicted again?
Maybe we should just give up on this hot stuff?
Mr. Ji said with satisfaction, "Alright, let's begin the selection process now."
He produced something in his hand, slapped it, and a door emitting a shimmering light appeared before him.
Master Ji: "Masters who wish to bid, please go through this door. If you can pass through, you are qualified to participate in the auction."
Many of the masters looked quite displeased.
Half of the people here have some status, and now they have to walk through a door like they're going through a test, which makes people very uncomfortable.
A white-bearded master snorted and left angrily with his two disciples.
The others, their faces showing displeasure, held back.
One by one, everyone walked through the door.
When an elderly man, probably in his seventies, passed by, the gate flashed red light.
Master Ji chuckled and said, "Master, I'm sorry, you are not qualified."
The old man's face turned ashen, and he shouted angrily, "This is utterly absurd!"
Then he left in anger.
Qi Fangxin was stunned: "Aren't these people supposed to be very powerful? Why aren't they causing trouble, smashing things, or swearing? Aren't they incredibly well-mannered?"
Chu Hongyi chuckled softly from a short distance away: "You don't know, do you? Because it's still market season, there are certain restrictions in Frost Snow Village. No matter how powerful someone is, they can't cause trouble. Otherwise, how could this market operate?"
Lu Haoyue glanced at Chu Hongyi and nodded: "Yes, it's what the owner of the auctioned item requested. There's probably nothing anyone else can do about it; that's just their rule."
Chu Hongyi: "Hehe, everyone still has doubts about the auction items, otherwise they wouldn't have left so readily."
What if after all that trouble and spending a lot of gold coins, you only end up with a stolen item?
Not worth it!
Lu Xingchen was a little nervous.
She didn't know what the selection rules were for this door, and was afraid that she would be stuck.
People passed by one by one; some passed, some didn't and left.
Soon they arrived at Lu Xingchen.
She composed herself and strode into the door.
Thankfully, it passed.
Xuanyuan Batian, who followed, also passed through with trepidation.
