Hong Shisan, this na had never been heard by Third Brother He, who was very well-inford within Xia Capital. And just by thinking with his toes, Third Brother He knew that it definitely wasn’t the opponent’s real identity.
Third Brother He took another look at Feng Xun, noticing a hint of mischief in his phoenix eyes as he stared at the frail-looking youth beside him. The tenderness that showed in his eyes made Third Brother He shudder.
No wonder Tenth Young Master had no reaction to Shui Yaorao, such a great beauty. It turned out that Tenth Young Master actually had that kind of preference, being homosexual.
It appeared that Hong Shisan was Tenth Young Master’s favorite. Better serve him with great care.
Third Brother He secretly clicked his tongue, but still, he kept a smile on his face and kept nodding and bowing.
"Tenth Young Master, Thirteenth Young Master, it’s about ti. I will accompany you both to look around and see if there’s anything that catches your eye."
Third Brother He led the two of them around the second underground level.
It was unclear by what ans Treasure Cave operated, but the entire second level underground was like a dium-sized square, with groups of people here and there.
Unlike the auction encountered earlier at Juqi Tower, the auction at Treasure Cave does not imply that the people inside are the presenters.
Most of the auctions here are small-scale, more like a marketplace. Sellers who brought items sold directly to buyers who ca to purchase things; trading was open and free, and they could bid on whatever they liked.
Of course, buyers could also barter with items of equivalent value.
As for Treasure Cave, it would take a thirty percent profit from the transaction amount.
A thirty percent profit? On the mainland, a Dark Level elixir or weapon could easily cost tens of thousands of silver, and a transaction in Treasure Cave could bring in thousands of taels, not to ntion that the second underground level had at least five or six hundred people. An evening’s earnings could easily rake in tens of thousands, and that too in gold.
Ye Lingyue couldn’t help but be stunned. Could it be that these sellers and buyers found their money too cumberso?
On second thought, however, considering the number of experts in Treasure Cave and the professional authentication provided, sellers could sell their items without worrying about being robbed, and buyers could purchase genuine goods. Therefore, so many people were willing to pay a thirty percent profit to conduct transactions within Treasure Cave.
At the Yellow-level Auction, most of the items for sale were Yellow-grade, low-quality weapons or Fourth and Fifth Grade elixir pills, as well as so Seventh and Eighth Tier martial arts skills.
For elixir pills, if Ye Lingyue wanted them, she need only ask Master Long Yu.
As for martial arts, Ye Lingyue had the Flower Pinching Jade Shattering Hand, a Seventh Rank martial art skill. Combined with Ghost Sect Thirteen Needles, ordinary Seventh Rank martial arts weren’t even worth her consideration.
She was intent on finding martial arts skills above Seventh Rank or an Ultimate Skill related to spiritual power in Treasure Cave.
While they were talking, Third Brother He led the two past several noisy individuals who seed to be arguing about sothing.
"Lai Gu, you dare deceive ? What kind of dicine do you sell? They’re all fakes, yet you charged a hundred gold taels per pill, return the thousand gold taels to ."
A martial artist in his thirties, like an enraged wild beast, was grabbing a woman by the collar and angrily questioned her.
Where business occurred, disputes naturally followed.
With soone causing trouble in his territory, Third Brother He had no choice but to stop and make an apologetic gesture to Feng Xun and Ye Lingyue, and then headed forward.
Ye Lingyue mingled within the crowd and was surprised when she saw what the woman was selling.
Never would she have expected to find soone selling such items in Treasure Cave.
Though captured, the woman showed no fear and even seed defiant.
People around pointed and murmured about her.
Due to the woman’s short stature and silver-grey hair, along with her hideous features and bumpy skin exposed like a toad, everyone kept their distance, afraid to even be touched by her.
Normally, when she held auctions, few people patronized her stand.
Compared to the beautiful maids frequenting the sales in the Dark Level Auction, this woman’s looks were worlds apart.
"Young Master Gu, don’t slander . The dicine I, Lai Gu, sold was at a fixed price, agreed upon purchase. Why now, after just three days, you co to cause trouble?" Lai Gu was grabbed by Young Master Gu and was fighting to breathe, struggling fiercely.
But she was rely an alchemist and didn’t know how to use Divine Power Attacks, nowhere near a match for the martial artist Young Master Gu.
"Young Master Gu, let’s talk this out. You know the rules of Treasure Cave. If you act here, it’s like showing disrespect to , Third Brother He." Third Brother He’s figure swayed, and without him having to move, an invisible force struck right onto Young Master Gu’s wrist, causing pain, and he let go.
"Third Boss, you have to stand up for . I pitied this ugly woman and bought ten of her pills, each costing a hundred gold taels. Who knew they’re all useless?" Afraid Third Brother He wouldn’t believe him, Young Master Gu took out a bottle and poured out a few pills.
A pill worth a hundred gold taels each?
Third Brother He’s eyebrows twitched.
Such expensive pills should at least be Third or Fourth-grade elixirs. If they were indeed fake, he would have to give Young Master Gu an explanation.
"Young Master Gu, don’t falsely accuse , these are genuine Third-grade Intestine-breaking Pills, mixed precisely to the correct amounts," said the ugly woman, not panicking, stepping forward to explain.
Turns out the dicine this ugly woman sold was all poison.
Even the other elixir pills and dicinal Grass she put up for sale were all poison, which was why Ye Lingyue was so astonished.
In Daxia, both the Alchemist Association and ordinary dicine shops are not allowed to sell Poison and Poison Grass freely; all sales of poison must be registered daily.
Therefore, those who wanted to secretly buy poison would go through special channels at high prices. Treasure Cave provided an excellent venue for these people.
"You claim to follow the formula? Let Third Brother He ask soone to verify it. If the dicine is wrong, I’ll take your life today, you dare to scam ," Young Master Gu’s words left Third Brother He in a difficult position.
For other items, Third Brother He could easily identify the authenticity at a glance.
But when it ca to poison, let alone Third Brother He, no one in the entire Treasure Cave knew the trade.
And since poison was a forbidden trade, he couldn’t ask soone from the Alchemist Tower to intervene.
"Gentlen, if you don’t mind, I can lend a hand."
In the midst of the unresolved argunt, Ye Lingyue stepped forward and offered herself with a bow.
"Thirteenth Young Master, do you understand toxicology?" Third Brother He saw her and grasped at her like a lifeline, urgently asking.
