Chapter 1003: Chapter 728: The Changting Family’s Secret
“Can he really take out ten top-grade spirit stones?” Murong Han imdiately voiced his skepticism.
It’s true that according to the market’s exchange rate for spirit stones, ten top-grade spirit stones are worth a million top-grade spiritual stones.
But top-grade spirit stones have always been rare and extrely difficult to mine.
Even if you offer a million top-grade spiritual stones for exchange, most families or sects might not be able to co up with ten top-grade spirit stones at once.
Not only Murong Han was skeptical; even the other guests present were deeply doubtful.
However, this is the Dark City, and who would dare to randomly overbid here? That would be akin to seeking death.
Concerned about the whereabouts of the little deer, Baili An didn’t want to engage in further verbal disputes. Without giving Murong Han a chance to speak again, he tossed a money pouch out of the window.
The barrier on stage senses the spirit stones, and the maid reached out to summon the pouch. After counting carefully, she imdiately smiled and said, “It truly is ten top-grade spirit stones. If no one else bids higher, this first ‘item’ will belong to the guest in Room B, number 16.”
As she spoke, she glanced deliberately at Murong Han with a smile. Seeing his face turn pale and unpleasant, he returned to his seat without a word, knowing it was ti to strike the auction hamr.
After three strikes, Wenjuntai gradually descended, and the maid retreated with the caged rfolk.
When Baili An returned to his seat, it wasn’t long before a polite knock was heard.
Ye Shu, using a voice with deliberately altered tones, said, “Co in.”
The maid responsible for delivering the goods had been replaced. She wore a mask uniform to the Yu Tower, pushing a cart with the rfolk Commandery Princess into the room.
She gave a faint smile and said, “Esteed guest, the Number 1 item has been delivered to you. Please inspect it. If there are any issues, summon anyti; I’ll be waiting outside until the auction ends tonight.”
Baili An nodded: “Thank you.”
The maid nodded in acknowledgnt and introduced, “This is the Blue Flower teor Cage. The water level inside can be adjusted to suit the guest’s enjoynt. The cage contains talismanic power. Considering so guests’ desire for conquest, most of our Yu Tower’s slave items are in a semi-trained state. Initially, it might not be so obedient, but you only need to activate the chanism inside the cage, like this…”
The maid personally demonstrated by pulling a thin silver chain on the Fine Iron Cage, emitting currents of electricity, seemingly to showcase the training results. The water level dropped with it, allowing Baili An and Ye Shu to clearly hear Lanyan’s shrill screams.
Upon witnessing this, Ye Shu recalled a certain experience, furrowing his brows again, his expression cold: “Since she’s no longer one of your Yu Tower’s ‘products’, doesn’t it an you no longer have the right to abuse her?”
The maid, being sensible and perceptive, assud this guest was sympathetic and imdiately turned off the switch, slightly bowing before preparing to leave the room.
“Miss, please wait a mont,” Baili An suddenly called out to the maid, saying, “If I were to purchase information in private, whom should I approach?”
The maid chuckled softly and asked, “What information does the guest wish to buy?”
Baili An said, “About half a year ago, a demon trainer captured an all-white deer from the border mountains of the Endless Sea and reportedly transported it to the Underground Dark City of Ze Country. I want to know who bought that deer.”
Originally, Baili An thought it would take so effort and words to inquire about the deer’s information, but unexpectedly, the maid straightforwardly answered, “The information will cost thirty thousand top-grade spiritual stones.”
Baili An replied, “That’s fine. Charge it to my account and settle it together after the auction ends.”
The maid smiled with pursed lips, saying, “Guest, that deer is still within Yu Tower.”
Baili An’s eyes lit up: “Still within Yu Tower? Does that an the deer will be in tonight’s auction?”
The maid smiled and said, “The guest is right. However, tonight’s auction is sowhat special. Considering the current circumstances, there’s a huge demand for demon slaves among the cultivators of various countries. Therefore, tonight, we plan to sell the demon slaves by blind auction at Yu Tower.”
“Blind auction?”
“A blind auction ans placing all the demon slaves in Yu Tower into blind boxes for auction, with prices and buyers left to chance.”
Yu Tower’s tactics are so clever, claiming everything is left to fate. But today, both rooms on the fourth floor are lit and open, and none of the guests present ca without hoping to obtain their desired demon slave.
In a blind auction, no one knows if the box contains a human or a ghost.
If you buy a box and open it to find it’s not the demon you wanted, you’ll have to proceed with another round of bidding.
Invisibly, this will raise the auction price to the highest level.
This isn’t just simple greed.
After the maid left, Ye Shu furrowed his brows, looking at Lanyan, whose hands were bound in a birdcage. Having been electrocuted, her face was pale and weak, her head drooping in shivers, and the water level had lowered to her waist. The transparent veil spread like light on the water’s surface.
Perhaps sensing Ye Shu’s scrutinizing gaze, she slowly raised her face, eyes filled with fear and hatred, but with an iron ball in her mouth, she could only emit sorrowful whimpers.
Ye Shu’s gaze bore no sympathy, only seeing trouble: “Why waste the spirit stone to buy her? The Commandery Princess Lanyan would only be a burden by your side.”
Baili An was pondering the auction matters, and upon hearing Ye Shu speak, he walked over to the birdcage, chuckling lightly: “Who said I want to keep her by my side?”
