Chapter 285 Black Seal Auction House

"Please take a seat!" The white-haired old man pointed at the chair in front of the table and said to Xiao Yan.

After Xiao Yan sat down, the white-haired old man knocked on the table and said again: "Take out the items that need to be auctioned!"

Xiao Yan directly took out a small jade bottle from the ring and placed it on the table, then pushed the small jade bottle towards the white-haired old man.

The white-haired old man casually took the small jade bottle and opened the stopper directly.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the white-haired old man opened the cork of the bottle, he was instantly shocked, and his waist, which had been hunched for many years, straightened instantly. He took a deep breath of the intoxicating smell in the air, and saliva flowed out of his mouth unconsciously. He subconsciously wanted to swallow the pill in the bottle.

"Ahem!" Xiao Yan rolled his eyes as he looked at the white-haired old man putting the small jade bottle to his mouth.

"Haha, sorry! Are you an alchemist?" After hearing Xiao Yan's cough, the white-haired old man realized that he had lost his composure and asked respectfully.

"You don't need to know this, you just need to evaluate the value of the elixir!" Xiao Yan said lightly.

"Okay!" Seeing that Xiao Yan was unwilling to say more, the white-haired old man did not dare to ask more. The alchemist who could refine such a magical elixir must be no less than the fourth grade, and he dared not offend him.

The white-haired old man tilted the small jade bottle, poured out a pill, and placed it in the palm of his hand to examine it carefully.

"The elixir contains rich vitality. It can not only increase people's lifespan, but also slow down aging. It has beautiful effects. It's really rare! But forgive my poor eyesight, what is the name of this elixir?" The white-haired old man looked at Xiao Yan and asked.

"This pill is called the Longevity Pill! I wonder how many gold coins it can be auctioned for!" Xiao Yan asked.

"The efficacy of this elixir is extremely amazing. Many people want to get it, especially women, so the starting price for each auction is one million gold coins." The white-haired old man said after a moment of hesitation.

Xiao Yan nodded. Ordinary people couldn’t afford this kind of elixir, nor did they need it very much. Only those from big forces would buy it. However, since they were willing to buy it, they wouldn’t care about the price, so the two elixirs were estimated to be able to fetch five million gold coins.

"Sir, the items you are auctioning have reached the second-level VIP level of our Black Seal Auction House. This is your seat number. The auction will officially begin this afternoon. Please take a seat according to your number." After the old man put away the pills, he took out a card made of green jade from the counter and handed it to Xiao Yan.

The purpose of Xiao Yan's auction of the longevity pill was to get the VIP card, so after putting away the jade card, he left the auction hall and strolled around the street to kill time while waiting for the auction to begin.

When Xiao Yan returned to the Black Silver Auction House again, he saw that the entrance was already crowded with people. It would probably take at least a few hours to get in. He shook his head helplessly and walked to another passage.

This passage is not only sparsely populated, but also covered with red carpet, obviously specially provided for VIPs.

Just as Xiao Yan was about to take out the jade card and walk in, a group of figures appeared behind Xiao Yan. These people surrounded a pale young man. After Xiao Yan looked him up and down, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he walked towards the auction house.

"Who was that person who just went in?" The young man looked at Xiao Yan's back and frowned slightly, because Xiao Yan gave him an extremely uncomfortable feeling.

"Young Sect Master, what's wrong?" The old man next to the young man obviously didn't notice Xiao Yan and asked in confusion.

"Nothing!" The young man shook his head and walked straight in with his men.

After Xiao Yan entered the auction hall, he directly showed the Jade Card to the reception maid.

When the maid saw Xiao Yan take out the Jade Card, her attitude became extremely respectful and she led Xiao Yan to the VIP seat that had been arranged long ago.

Xiao Yan sat on the chair, closed his eyes and waited for the auction to begin. A clear bell rang, and as the bell rang, the noisy sound in the venue gradually subsided, and countless eyes looked at the crystal stage in front of them, their eyes full of passion.

"Haha, I'm sure you all are getting impatient. In that case, I won't just say some polite words! Now I declare! The Black Seal City auction begins now!" A white-haired old man in gorgeous clothes said with a smile as he stood on the crystal stage.

As the two old men's voices fell, the huge crystal platform emitted a dazzling light. After a long while, the light gradually weakened, and a blue sword appeared on the auction table in front of the white-haired old man. Under the illumination of the light, it reflected a sharp luster, and traces of improvement flowed on the sword.

"This sword is called Hanfeng. It is made of cold iron and can cut through iron like mud. It is also inlaid with a third-grade ice magic core. If someone who practices water or ice attributes uses it to fight the enemy, its power will be even greater! The auction will start now. The starting price is 100,000. Please come in!" The old man said with a smile, holding the sword.

"Two hundred thousand gold coins!" As soon as the old man finished speaking, a lazy voice sounded in the field.

Hearing this, everyone looked towards the source of the voice to see who was bidding. Although the sword was good, it could only be auctioned for about 150,000 gold coins at most. Who was so generous as to directly offer 200,000 gold coins? So what if he thought he had too much money?

A handsome young man appeared in everyone's sight. He was lying on a chair with his chin supported by his right hand, looking like he was asleep.

"Is this guy sleepwalking?" Everyone asked in confusion when they saw that Xiao Yan did not open his eyes.

Hearing the discussion, the white-haired auctioneer immediately reacted and whispered, "This person bid 200,000 gold coins. Is there anyone who can offer a higher price?"

The old man looked around and saw that no one was bidding. He knocked the hammer hastily and said with a smile: "Since no one is bidding, the sword belongs to this gentleman."

When Xiao Yan heard the sound of the old man hammering, a smile appeared on his lips, and then he continued to take a nap.

"The next item we are going to auction is a very rare flying fighting skill: Thunder Bat Sky Wings!" The auctioneer picked up a scroll made of ancient jade from the counter and carefully unfolded it. Suddenly, a pair of miniature black bat wings appeared in everyone's sight.

"I like this thing!" The young man, whose face was somewhat pale, showed a delighted expression when he saw the black wings flashing like lightning on the scroll.

“Young Sect Master, this flying fighting skill is extremely rare. The reserve price for the auction will not be lower than one million gold coins. If you want to get it at the auction, you’ll need at least two million gold coins. If you buy this thing, you won’t be able to compete for the next ones!” The old man next to the young man frowned.

"Haha, don't worry. I'm not going to spend money to buy that thing anyway! One hundred and ten..." the young man said with a smile.

"Two million gold coins!" Just as the young man was about to bid, a somewhat lazy voice sounded in everyone's ears again.

Everyone looked towards the source of the sound and were surprised to see it was the same young man from before.

"Is this guy crazy? How dare he snatch things from the Blood Sect's Young Master!" someone muttered.

"I guess he fell asleep and shouted subconsciously while sleepwalking!" another person chuckled.

"Then he's in trouble! This young sect leader is famous for his cruelty, and his father is one of the top ten strong men on the blacklist!" Those who knew the Blood Sect's young sect leader Fan Ling all had gloating expressions on their faces.

"Three million gold coins!" Fan Ling looked at Xiao Yan coldly, as if he wanted to eat Xiao Yan alive.

"Six million gold coins!" The lazy voice sounded in everyone's ears again.
