265: Chapter 265 Auction Begins 265: Chapter 265 Auction Begins “Master Lu, thank you for your assistance!”

Long Yan walked to Lu Xuanming’s side and bowed with a fist.

This time, it was thanks to Lu Xuanming that Feng Wanli was stopped.

“Master Yan is too kind; it was just a small effort on my part.”

Lu Xuanming did not dare to act arrogantly and bowed back with a fist.

Straight after that, everyone began to leave Bell Drum Cliff one after another.

After Long Yan returned to his living quarters, he directly entered the Azure Dragon Ring.

The Lanling Martial Arts Conference was imminent, and he had to recover from his injuries and adjust his state to its peak.

At this time, the entire Lanling City was buzzing with excitement.

The announcement of the war between Pill King Hall, Ancient Sword Gate, and Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect, the three major factions, was no child’s play.

Once these three major forces waged war, the flames of war might spread across half of Shenwu Continent, and the entire Shenwu Continent would be in turmoil.

“Nine Bell Drum Sounds, Long Yan, it’s indeed you.

The real drama starts now.”

As night fell, a figure merged with the darkness, and a faint voice came from his mouth.

This person wore a half-face mask.

If Long Yan were present, he would surely recognize him.

This half-faced man was none other than Ming Jiu.

……

The next morning, a fiery red sun rose in the east, and golden light radiated across millions of miles within Shenwu Continent, heralding a brand-new day.

Lanling City was already bustling, and today it was more lively.

At dawn, the streets were already filled with people rushing towards one place.

The auction would begin today.

Such an event only occurs once every ten years, and it presented a rare opportunity.

There would undoubtedly be many treasures at the auction.

The auction venue was situated in a building at the center of Lanling City, a landmark of the city.

The hall on the first floor alone could accommodate a hundred thousand people.

At the auction site, Lu Xuanming and Asura King personally presided over it, while Li Qianzhang brought several hundred elite city guards to oversee the auction.

All of them were Fifth level Martial Kings or above, and no one dared to cause trouble.

Inside the Azure Dragon Ring.

“Huh…”

Long Yan withdrew his handprint, looking languid, and stretched lazily.

After cultivating in the Azure Dragon Ring for a night, his injuries had recovered significantly, and he would undoubtedly be fully healed before the Lanling Martial Arts Conference.

“Today is the day the auction begins; the great show is finally starting!”

After changing into a brand new robe, Long Yan left the Azure Dragon Ring.

As he walked out of his room, Long Chen, Zhan Wushuang, Lingxi, Bai Ling, Fat Cat, Long Xinghe, and Ba Wuliang were all waiting for him.

“Let’s go!”

Then, Long Yan and the others headed towards the auction venue.

He had already informed Zhuge Qianzhong that they would not be walking with Pill King Hall.

“So many people!”

The streets were already packed with people before they reached the Auction House, with heads as far as the eye could see.

Long Xinghe had never seen such a scene, and his face was filled with shock.

Not only him, but Long Yan and the others were also somewhat surprised.

They hadn’t expected the auction to be so popular.

Preliminarily, no fewer than a hundred thousand people had come to attend the auction.

Not everyone could participate in the auction.

Firstly, to enter the auction hall, each person had to pay ten thousand spirit stones, which was almost equivalent to one third-grade elixir.

Such a price is indeed high.

Just imagine, with 100,000 people participating in the auction, the entrance fees alone would amount to one billion spirit stones, which is no small fortune.

Secondly, there are regional divisions inside the auction venue, and the prices for each region are different.

To get a good position, one must spend more spirit stones.

As for the VIP room, apart from the Five Great Powers and Wanyao Valley, which can each have one for free, anyone else who wants to enter the VIP room must pay a considerable price.

“Master Yan, you’ve finally arrived.

I’ve prepared a VIP room for you.

Please follow me.”

As soon as Long Yan and others emerged from the crowd, Lu Xuanming came forward to greet them.

It seemed that he had been waiting here specifically for Long Yan.

“Master Lu, thank you for your hard work!”

Long Yan nodded slightly, and then followed Lu Xuanming into the auction venue, with Long Chen and the others following along without handing over their spirit stones.

After entering the auction venue, Lu Xuanming led Long Yan and others directly to the second floor and into a VIP room.

“Master Yan, this is the VIP room I’ve prepared for you.

If you need anything, please let the servant know.”

After a polite round of exchanges, Lu Xuanming left.

The VIP room was very spacious, and the decorations were extremely luxurious and extravagant.

All the chairs and tea tables were valuable, and even the ground was covered in soft animal skins.

On the tea tables, there were some cakes and fresh spirit fruits.

On the wall closest to the auction hall, it was transparent, offering a wide view that allowed one to see every corner of the auction hall.

“Boss, look at this treatment.

That old man seems to treat you pretty well.”

The fat cat casually picked up a spirit fruit, took a bite, and juice flowed, dripping from the corner of his mouth.

“Of course, if it hadn’t been for my third brother helping him, who knows how much longer he would have to wait?”

Long Chen said in a matter-of-fact tone.

Their current VIP treatment was exchanged for by Long Yan using his remarkable means.

Otherwise, they might have had to sit in the hall below.

“There must be many good things appearing at this auction.

Whenever you see something you like, try to get it as much as possible.

There’s only one chance.”

Long Yan said.

“I’m afraid that will be difficult.

People participating in the auction have prepared in advance, especially the Five Great Powers, who have brought a lot of money with them.

It won’t be easy to snatch things from their hands.”

The auction was also a competition, with the Five Great Powers presiding over it.

With the financial strength of just Long Yan and his companions, even if they were to empty out their treasure vaults, they would still have a hard time competing with the Five Great Powers.

“Don’t worry, the Zhan Clan’s treasure is in my hands.

You guys can just focus on raising the bids.”

Zhan Wushuang said.

The Zhan Clan’s treasure vault had already been transferred to the Seal God’s Door by Battle Mad.

Now, he controlled the Seal God’s Door, and the treasure vault was under his command.

The Zhan Clan’s heritage was definitely not below the Five Great Powers.

When it comes to competing financially, they naturally had no fear.

“Ha ha ha, leave the bidding to Tiger Lord.”

The fat cat, upon hearing this, immediately showed interest and volunteered himself for the task.

The auction hall was huge, with 100,000 seats that could accommodate 100,000 people.

In addition, there were also some unoccupied areas where people could stand.

In the center of the hall stood a ten-meter-high circular auction platform, and from every position in the hall, one could focus their gaze on the platform.

At this moment, the hall was buzzing with excitement, and all 100,000 seats had their own occupants.

Moreover, many people were still standing in the open space behind the seats.

So far, there were no fewer than 120,000 people in the hall, and more people were still entering the auction hall.

Long Yan’s gaze swept across the hall and spotted some familiar figures.

“After this auction, the income of Lanling City will be quite considerable.”

Such a large-scale auction was bound to generate huge profit.

The auction was actually also a means for Lanling City to amass wealth.
