"Isn't that Li Xiu? Why is he here at the Magic Treasure Auction? The Trialist Competition is still going on. As the person in charge, why is he running back to Changshengtian?" Han Minghui was chatting with a few big guys. When he saw Li Xiu walking into the auction hall, he couldn't help but frown.

Li Xianchun, who was standing by, had an idea: "Li Xiu took time out of his busy schedule to come back. Could it be that he came here specifically to attend the auction of magic treasures? Could it be that he also came here for the two ancient gold chests from the Demon Kingdom?"

After hearing what he said, several people couldn't help but become interested. Magic treasure auctions are held frequently, so there is no need to travel so far to participate in the auction. If Li Xiu really came here specifically to participate in the Magic Treasure Auction, it means that there may be some special treasures in this Magic Treasure Auction.

The so-called magic treasure auction is actually an auction of some items that were obtained from the Demon Kingdom but have been of no use and have been piled up in the city treasury.

Every once in a while, the city treasury would clear out some items and sell them, and the proceeds from the auction would also go into the city treasury.

The things cleared out of the city warehouse are generally not magic cores, gems, and other things whose value can be judged.

Most of them are materials or things whose uses are unclear, and even some loot that has not been inspected.

Of course, it’s not that there’s no way to inspect these trophies, but they’re deliberately done so to attract wealthy people to the auction.

In the vaults of many ancient cities in the Demon Kingdom, there is a special kind of ancient gold box. Those ancient gold boxes of the Demon Kingdom are made very cleverly and once opened, they cannot be completely restored.

Therefore, before the ancient gold chests of the Demon Kingdom were opened, no one knew what was inside those ancient gold chests. They could only judge what was inside based on the origins of the ancient gold chests of the Demon Kingdom.

The person hosting the magic treasure auction will auction these ancient gold boxes from the Demon Kingdom as blind boxes. The highest bidder will win. As for what you can get from the ancient gold boxes from the Demon Kingdom, that depends on luck.

Generally speaking, the things stored in the ancient gold chests of the Demon Kingdom are quite mixed. There may be boxes of magic cores, magic spirit materials, and even various things made by the Demon Kingdom people. Books, calligraphy and paintings are also common. No one can be sure what is inside an ancient gold chest of the Demon Kingdom that has not been opened.

Whether you make a profit or a loss depends not only on luck, but also on your understanding of the Demon Kingdom.

If it is an ancient gold chest from the Demon Kingdom taken out from a big city in the Demon Kingdom, it is possible to open boxes of high-level magic cores, the value of which is unimaginable.

Of course, the probability of this happening is very small, and the starting price of an ancient gold box from the vault of a big city is already very high.

There is a special department in Changsheng City that studies the ancient gold boxes of the Demon Kingdom. The pricing of each ancient gold box of the Demon Kingdom has gone through several rounds of evaluation. Generally speaking, as long as the price is not too high, you may be able to make some profit, but the possibility of making a big profit is relatively low.

Of course, it is impossible for experts to make 100% accurate estimates, and occasionally someone will be able to make a big hit and become rich overnight.

There are always several ancient gold boxes from the Demonic Kingdom like this one at every auction, which adds a lot of fun to the auction.

Everyone has a gambling nature.

After Li Xiu arrived at the Magic Treasure Auction, he found a place to sit down and didn't say a word from beginning to end.

"The Trialist Competition is in full swing. Director Li, despite his busy schedule, has come to attend the magic treasure auction. Could it be that you have found something you like?" Sun Wuxi also came to the auction, said hello, and sat next to Li Xiu.

"I have something to report to the president, so I came back. I happened to hear about this auction, so I came to broaden my horizons." Li Xiu looked at Sun Wuxi and said, "President Sun should be a veteran, right? I wonder if you have any experience and insights. Can you share them with me so that I can also bid for some suitable items."

Sun Wuxi said: "I can't say I have much experience, but I often come to participate in magic treasure auctions, but unfortunately I don't have enough experience, and eight or nine out of ten times I lose money."

"Do you need to be knowledgeable to participate in an auction? Are there fakes at this auction? I heard that these items are all from the city warehouse. Who is so bold as to put fake items in there?" Li Xiu said in surprise.

"The items are definitely real, but the items that can be auctioned usually have some problems, or they are things whose uses are unknown. If you are knowledgeable enough and know the uses of those items and understand their value, you will not lose money if you bid for them. Otherwise, it is common to lose money." Sun Wuxi smiled and continued, "As for those ancient gold boxes of the Demon Kingdom, there is even more knowledge to learn. For example, the ancient gold boxes of the Demon Kingdom this time, it is said that there are two boxes that come from a big city in the Demon Kingdom called Tiantong. Tiantong City is said to be the place where Princess Tiantong of the Demon Kingdom was granted a title. It is really extraordinary. There may be some big stuff in it."

"Princess Tiantong?" Li Xiu's research on the history of the Demon Kingdom was limited, and he had never heard of the name of this princess.

Sun Wuxi was a little surprised: "Hasn't Director Li ever heard of the name of Princess Tiantong?"

"I have little knowledge and have never heard of it." Li Xiu said.

"Chief Li was able to research the light-seeding method, which shows that his level of magic writing must be very high. I thought you knew the name of Princess Tiantong." Sun Wuxi paused and was about to continue speaking when he saw someone else coming over and sitting down on the other side of Li Xiu.

Li Xiu was a little surprised when he saw that the person coming over was Han Minghui. Recently, Han Minghui didn't want to see him, but this time she took the initiative to come over and sit next to him.

Han Minghui gave Li Xiu a charming smile. "Princess Tiantong is the most beloved princess of the Emperor of the Demon Kingdom. As a result, she developed an arrogant and domineering personality since she was a child. She ran rampant in Tiancheng and did whatever she wanted. She did many things that were outrageous to both gods and gods. According to some records of the Demon Kingdom's unofficial history, Princess Tiantong also has a nickname called the Skinning Girl. If anyone disobeys her or does not follow her wishes, she will do everything she can to catch that person, use a secret method to skin them, and then sprinkle sea salt on their flesh and blood, until they die of pain."

"If Princess Tiantong peeled the skin of ordinary people, it would be fine. For the sake of the face of the Emperor of Heaven, he would turn a blind eye to her. However, Princess Tiantong was too much. She even did not let go of those meritorious ministers. Several meritorious old ministers who followed the Emperor of Demon Country to build the country were punished by her peeling skin and tortured to death. As a result, she also incurred public anger, and even the Emperor of Heaven could not protect her anymore. However, under such circumstances, no one could convict Princess Tiantong. However, the Emperor of Heaven had no choice but to exile Princess Tiantong to Tiantong City. Although it was called exile, Tiantong City was a big city built by the Emperor of Heaven specifically for her. After Princess Tiantong arrived in Tiantong City, she became even more arrogant and lawless, making Tiantong City almost like a purgatory on earth."

"Is that all?" Li Xiu was listening with great interest, but Han Minghui stopped abruptly here.

"So what if it's not finished? Tiantong City is the fief of Princess Tiantong. She has absolute power there and outsiders cannot interfere. Even if some people can't stand it, think about it. It's better to let Princess Tiantong harm the city than to harm the whole country. At least Tiantong City is located on the edge of the Demon Country and the population is not large. Even if all the people in the city are killed by Princess Tiantong, it will not have any impact on the Demon Country." After Han Minghui finished speaking, she looked at Li Xiu with a smile and said, "Princess Tiantong is like a demon king in Tiantong City. I don't know how many rare treasures she has obtained. Among the ancient gold boxes of the Demon Country auctioned this time, two are from Tiantong City. Maybe there are treasures hidden in them. Isn't Chief Li here for those two ancient gold boxes of the Demon Country?"

"I've never heard of Princess Tiantong before, and this is the first time I've heard of the ancient gold box from the Demon Kingdom, so why would I come here for them? But after hearing what Vice President Han said, I'm somewhat interested now. If the price is not high, I can try my luck by bidding on an ancient gold box. If I really get some treasure out of it, I'll have to thank Vice President Han for reminding me then." Li Xiu said calmly.

"Then I wish Chief Li all his wishes come true." Han Minghui smiled brightly, "But if Chief Li wants to take the ancient gold box from the Demon Kingdom in Tiantong City, he may have to bring more money. Several elders and elders from various families over there came for the ancient gold box from the Demon Kingdom in Tiantong City, so the final transaction price may not be too low."

"Thanks for the reminder. I'm just here to have fun. If it's too expensive, forget it." Li Xiu said nonchalantly.

"I hope Director Li has fun. There are friends I know over there. I'm going to say hello. Excuse me." Han Minghui said as she stood up and left.

After Han Minghui left, Sun Wuxi smiled and said, "If President Li is interested in the two ancient gold boxes from the Demon Kingdom in Tiantong City, then Vice President Han should be very happy."

"Does the ancient gold box from the Demonic Kingdom in Tiantong City belong to Vice President Han?" Li Xiu immediately understood what Sun Wuxi meant.

Sun Wuxi nodded and said, "This Vice President Han is not only beautiful, but also very ambitious. She will not be content to stay at the Soul Casting Level. I heard that in order to prepare for the promotion to the Godly Position, she is mobilizing all the resources at hand and has invited several general directors and everyone's Soul Casting Level masters to help her kill the Godly Demon Spirit. The Demon Spirit has not been killed yet, and the price paid is not small. Even she can't afford it, otherwise she would not take the opportunity of the Magic Treasure Auction to sell the two ancient gold boxes of the Demon Kingdom in Tiantong City."

"Vice President Han is really ambitious." Li Xiu said with a smile.

"Who says it isn't true? If she's lucky enough, maybe we'll have to depend on her mood in the future." Sun Wuxi said with a smile.

While the two were talking, they saw Old Immortal and Mo Wuya entering the venue. The two came over to say hello, and without saying a few words, they went to the other side.

Li Xiu secretly complained in his heart: "How afraid is this old man to be associated with this matter!"

Thinking this way, if it were Li Xiu himself, he would definitely stay away from it, so Li Xiu could understand why the old immortal was so scared.

If Li Xiu really succeeded, at least half of the major families in Changshengtian would be offended by him.

If the president wasn't such a jerk, Li Xiu wouldn't be willing to be so cruel, and he had no choice.

Sun Wuxi, who was completely unaware of the situation, was chatting enthusiastically with Li Xiu.

Not long after, about 70 to 80 percent of the people were sitting in the meeting room, and most of them were bigwigs from major families.

In addition to the four major families, many of the heads of other families with more backgrounds came to participate in the auction in person.

There are six chiefs of the seven Changsheng groups, including Li Xiu.

Mo Wuya, the old man, Sun Wuxi, Bo Duosi and Wan Chaoxin all came. Bo Duosi was sitting in the corner. Although she had a hot body, there was no one next to her, as if the words "Keep Away" were written on her.

Wan Chaoxin came to Li Xiu, called him "Fourth Master", and sat down.

"Fourth Master, are you also here for the ancient gold box from the Demonic Kingdom in Tiantong City?" Wan Chaoxin asked in a low voice.

If Li Xiu also came for the ancient gold box in Tiantong City, then he could give up. Given the relationship between Wan Chaochun and Li Xiu, he certainly couldn't compete with Li Xiu for it, and he wouldn't be able to win even if he wanted to.

Although Li Xiu served as the chief minister for a short time, he made a lot of money. Now, apart from the four major families, Li Xiu is the richest.

Although the Wan Chao family has some savings, the recent expenses in developing the family and preparing to return to the ranks of the wealthy have been too high.

"It's quite interesting." Li Xiu said with a smile.

Wan Chaoxin listened and thought to himself, "Forget it, let's just treat it as a shopping trip today."

While the two were talking, the auction had already begun, and uniformed staff brought up the first auction item.

Unlike ordinary auctions, the Magic Treasure Auction did not have an auction catalog, so apart from things like the Demon Kingdom Ancient Gold Box used for promotion, no one knew what was being auctioned.

The auction items are delivered directly to the site, and the auction will start after the buyers participating in the auction have taken a liking to them.

I saw two staff members using a small cart to push a large wooden box up and place it on the middle of the field.

The auctioneer simply opened the lid of the wooden box, and everyone looked inside the box.

Many people were slightly disappointed after seeing what was inside the box. The box was full of books, but they were not ordinary books. Those books were all in magic language. Judging from the material of those books, they were most likely authentic books from the Demon Kingdom, not copied copies.

The auctioneer also introduced: "This box of genuine books from the Demon Kingdom was obtained from a bookstore in the City of Kindness not long ago. All the books in the bookstore are here, and they have not been sorted yet. Everyone should know the rules, but I still have to say it again. For half an hour, you can look at them freely, but you cannot touch them, and you cannot go on stage..."

After the auctioneer finished speaking, a few people approached the round table and looked at the books in the box.

Li Xiu didn't expect the Magic Treasure Auction to be so rough. They didn't even introduce how many books were in it or what the books were. People just had to look at them for themselves. They were not allowed to go on stage to look at them or touch them. All they could see were the books on top. No one knew what the books were below. This auction really had a bit of metaphysics.

Li Xiu also took a look and went to the City of Goodness, where he fought a fierce battle with the Fountain of Evil.

Unfortunately, he arrived a little late and did not find anything useful inside. It is estimated that the box of books was taken out before he went to the City of Kindness.

The books above all look like children's books, there are also a few picture books similar to comics, and one that you can tell is a novel just by looking at the name.

Wan Chaoxin looked at it for a while, shook his head and said, "They are all miscellaneous books. I guess there shouldn't be any books like the Ningguang Technique in them."

Everyone who was interested in the books from the Demonic Kingdom looked at them carefully again and again, but they could only see the top few books, and no one knew whether the books below were valuable.

Half an hour passed quickly, and the auctioneer did not cover the box, but just left it open and said, "A box of magic books from the City of Kindness, the starting price is 600,000 immortal coins, and each bid will be increased by at least 10,000. Those who are interested can start bidding."

After the auctioneer finished speaking, there was silence for a long time and no one bid.

The City of Kindness is not a big city, and the box of books is not from a library, but just books from a bookstore. Looking at the books alone, no valuable books can be seen, so the atmosphere was a bit dull for a while.

"Six hundred and ten thousand." After a while, an old man raised a sign.

Li Xiu took a look at the old man and felt that he seemed familiar. After thinking about it, he should be from the Magic Writing Academy.

"Seven hundred thousand." Li Xiu raised the sign.

He has been learning magic runes, so it would be a good idea to buy some books to read. He is also curious about the City of Kindness, so perhaps he can learn something about it from these books.

The old man smiled at Li Xiu and put down the sign in his hand. It seemed that he had no intention of bidding against Li Xiu.

Li Xiu nodded slightly to the old man to express his gratitude, and the old man smiled kindly.

"Director Li bids seven hundred thousand. Is there anyone else to bid? A box of magic books moved from the bookstore in the City of Kindness is now offered at seven hundred thousand... Is there anyone else to bid... Seven hundred thousand once... Seven hundred thousand twice..." The auctioneer did not give too much introduction, nor did he deliberately exaggerate the atmosphere. He just hosted the auction in a very plain manner.

"Eight hundred thousand... Vice President Han bids eight hundred thousand..." When the auctioneer was about to announce the deal, Han Minghui made a bid and directly raised it to eight hundred thousand.

"Nine hundred thousand." Li Xiu didn't wait for the auctioneer to say anything else and directly added up the price.

Han Minghui raised the price to one million, then smiled and said to Li Xiu, "Director Li, I also want to learn some magic words recently. I'm sorry."

"In an auction, naturally the highest bidder wins. Vice President Han, what you said is too kind." Li Xiu added another 100,000.

A box of ordinary magic books could be sold for 1.1 million longevity coins, which was already a sky-high price, but Han Minghui actually added another 100,000 to the price.

Li Xiu glanced at the smiling Han Minghui and chose to give up.

Originally, he thought Han Minghui just wanted this box of books, but after the subsequent auction, Li Xiu found that things were not that simple.

Whenever Li Xiu participated in the auction, as long as there was no one competing with him, Han Minghui would bid for it. This targeting was obvious.

Li Xiu felt strange. He hadn't offended Han Minghui or the Han family recently, so why was she targeting him?

Moreover, Han Minghui is preparing to kill the demon spirit of the god position, and he needs a large amount of funds to ask the soul-casting level boss for help. With Han Minghui's character, even if he has offended the Han family now, it is impossible for him to care about these things at this time.

"What does Han Minghui want to do?" Li Xiu looked at Han Minghui in confusion.

Han Minghui still had a smile on her face, as if she was unaware that she had offended Li Xiu, and she even smiled and nodded at Li Xiu.

Li Xiu didn't understand what she meant and pretended not to see it. After a while, the staff pushed up another item for auction.

When Li Xiu saw the auction item, he immediately felt a strong sense of hunger in his stomach.
