Are you crazy? Who asked you to hunt for treasures in the emperor's harem?

"Big brother, I forgot to tell you yesterday that there is an important auction tonight!"

"There will be Xuanshi for sale at the auction... I heard there will be quite a lot. We haven't had Xuanqi Stone for a long time..."

Liu Mengying quickly explained to Ye Fan.

"Oh my... yes... Xiaodouya, we need to buy more Xuanqi Stones..."

Ye Fan understood what Liu Mengying meant, and he also wanted to buy some, especially since he would use Xuanqi Stone to make the Naxuan Ring. But he soon discovered a bad fact, "Xiao Douya, those Xuanqi Stones are very expensive, and we don't seem to have much money..."

"I have a lot of money..."

Ah Xin continued, "There have been many assassins who have hunted me down over the years. I have killed many of them and obtained a lot of gold, silver and treasures from them!"

"Big brother, when I was shopping with Sister Axin these days, I also pawned a lot of gold and silver jewelry, and I got a lot of money!"

At this time, Liu Mengying also spoke.

"However, Ye Fan, Meng Ying, since this Xuan Qi Stone has been put up for auction, its quality is naturally beyond doubt. However, you may not be able to buy it with money at that time... If there is a bidding war, I'm afraid I will have to exchange it with elixirs, skills, Xuan skills, etc..."

After a pause, Axin spoke again.

"It's okay, I still have some pills..."

Hearing this, Ye Fan felt more at ease. After all, he had refined a lot of pills before in case of emergency.

..........

The night falls,

After a hearty meal, Ye Fan, Liu Mengying and A Xin came to a magnificent high-rise building.

There were already quite a few people in the auction hall at this moment, and most of them were wearing masks and all kinds of strange clothes, obviously not wanting to be recognized.

After all, after buying the treasures at the auction, there were many people who wanted to rob them afterwards, and Ye Fan and the other two naturally disguised themselves.

"Brother, those attics are reserved for the VIPs of the auction house. It costs a lot of money to participate in the auction there, so I didn't get them and only bought three ordinary admission tokens!"

Seeing Ye Fan staring at the attic, Liu Mengying couldn't help but whisper.

"It's enough to be able to participate in the auction, the location is not important..."

Ye Fan waved his hand gently, "I looked towards the attic because there were quite a few rooms with a very strong aura, they should all be above the second level of the king level!"

"Good evening, distinguished guests, and welcome to the Black Moon Auction. I am the host of tonight, and you can just call me Old Ghost!"

After Ye Fan and the other two took their seats, a middle-aged man in decent clothes walked to the front of the auction hall and introduced himself in a low voice.

"Today's auction is held temporarily, and considering that you may not have enough money, you can hand over your supplies to the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce for on-site valuation, or you can directly discuss the price with other VIPs on site!"

The old ghost pointed to the white-haired old men in the front row of the auction table, and then he spoke again: "Now let's show you the auction item number one, a set of warrior-level profound skills... The starting price is five hundred taels of gold, and the minimum bid is ten taels of gold..."

"Six hundred taels!"

"Seven hundred..."

..........

As soon as Lao Gui finished speaking, many people raised their number plates.

“Oh my god… this mere soldier-level profound skill actually costs several hundred taels of gold… that thing is useless… it’s too expensive…”

Listening to the increasingly high prices around him, Ye Fan was speechless. At the same time, he was also a little worried about the Xuanqi Stone he was going to buy later...

"Zhang San, profound skills and profound cultivation techniques are both very rare, and almost no one would sell them... Although the level of a soldier-level profound skill is not high, after practicing the profound skill, when facing a soldier-level profound cultivator of the same level who does not have a profound skill, it is basically a one-sided crushing..."

In order to disguise herself, A Xin called Ye Fan by his pseudonym as the three of them had agreed upon.

"Is such that!"

Liu Mengying nodded and took up the conversation.

"Deal... Next, let's show you the second auction item, twenty pieces of Xuanqi Stone, with a starting price of two hundred taels of gold!"

At this time, Lao Gui's voice sounded again. Before he finished speaking, several strong men carried a basket of Xuanqi stones to the auction table.

"Three hundred taels!"

"I'll give you four hundred!"

"Four hundred and five!"

…………

After a while, the price of twenty Xuanqi Stones had been raised to seven hundred and fifty taels, and everyone became cautious in raising the price.

"Eight hundred taels!"

Seeing that no one bid, Ye Fan gathered the number 250 card in his hand.

"Eight hundred taels, guest number 250 bids eight hundred taels, is there anyone else bidding? Eight hundred taels once... eight hundred taels twice... deal..."

As the hammer in the old ghost's hand fell, Ye Fan bought twenty pieces of Xuanqi Stone.

"What an idiot! Eight hundred taels of gold for twenty pieces of low-quality Mysterious Energy Stones!"

"That's right, what is the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce doing, allowing such a country bumpkin who has never seen the world to participate in the auction!"

"This auction was added temporarily, it's normal..."

"Just wait. If the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce can hold an auction temporarily, there must be something good!"

...........

After Ye Fan bought twenty pieces of Xuanqi Stone, many people around him started talking about it.

"Are these Mysterious Energy Stones so expensive......"

The Xuanqi stones that Ye Fan had obtained before were of very good quality and in large quantities. Since he did not buy them with money, he had no idea about the price.

"If you buy this Xuanqi Stone outside, you can usually only buy some relatively small Xuanqi Stones, and the pieces are also relatively small... The quantity is also limited, you can only buy no more than five pieces... This auction offers so many large Xuanqi Stones at once. Although the price of 800 taels of gold is a bit high, it is not ridiculously high..."

A Xin took over the conversation.

"Okay~"

Ye Fan scratched his head.

Then the old ghost auctioned off several valuable items, including precious jewelry and jade, antique calligraphy and paintings, and mysterious skills and techniques, but Ye Fan was not interested in any of them. He would only bid if the item was a mysterious stone...

.........

Half an hour later,

"One... Ten thousand taels of gold..."

Looking at a fist-sized, crystal-clear red Xuanqi stone on the auction table, Ye Fan was stunned, "This... This is too expensive..."

"Brother, the quality of the Fire Attribute Mysterious Energy Stone we got before is just as good as the one on the auction table... At that time, that Fire Attribute Mysterious Energy Stone was bigger than our two bodies combined... If it were auctioned, the price would be..."

Liu Mengying turned to look at Ye Fan, "Brother, it seems like we have consumed a mountain of gold..."

“Yes…it’s like this…”

At this moment, Ye Fan couldn't help but think of going to the mine in Blackwater Town to dig for the extremely fine Xuanqi Stone...

Ye Fan and the other two did not participate in the auction of the pure fire attribute Xuanqi stone on the auction table, because the money added up by him, Liu Mengying, and A Xin would definitely not be enough to buy it...

Amid the excited bidding of the guests, the price of the Fire-attributed Mysterious Energy Stone soon reached thirty thousand taels. At this moment, the guests became quite cautious in bidding, after all, the price was already quite high...

"I'll give you ten Xuanyuan Pills, plus one thousand taels of gold!"

The auction hall was silent for a while, and then a steady male voice came from a room in the attic.
