Su Xiaodie snapped out of her shock, her eyes blazing: "Mister, may I ask where you obtained these two amulets?"
The old woman who had acted earlier was also full of shock; she hadn’t expected the amulet to possess such marvelous energy. If she could obtain one, it would be equivalent to having an extra life!
Xu Wendong frowned: "What do you an? Are you trying to inquire about the source of the items?"
"No, no, no!" Su Xiaodie quickly said: "I’m just purely curious, please forgive any offense." Saying this, she bowed in apology.
She was genuinely excited.
Because this was her first encounter with items belonging to a cultivator.
"Let’s be straightforward, will you accept it or not?" Xu Wendong casually sat on the sofa in the rest area.
Su Xiaodie said: "Are you looking to auction it, or sell it?"
"If it’s for auction, our auction house will charge a fifteen percent commission. Of course, since it’s your first ti entrusting us with sothing, we can help you auction it for free."
"Consider it as making a friend."
"If you don’t want to auction it, we can also offer you a reasonable price."
Although Su Xiaodie was a woman, her abilities were strong; she offered the free auction to make a friend with Xu Wendong.
After all, anyone who could bring out a cultivator’s treasures was definitely not an ordinary person.
Xu Wendong said: "Let’s auction it."
He knew.
An identical item would fetch a price far beyond market value at an auction house, not to ntion today’s auction would have people sent by six Great Grandmasters.
Su Xiaodie’s face lit up with a smile: "Alright, I’ll have soone prepare the auction arrangents to ensure that this amulet becos a centerpiece item."
"No!"
Xu Wendong said: "Let this amulet be the second-to-last auction item!"
"Okay." Su Xiaodie instantly understood Xu Wendong’s intentions, realizing that he was also after that Alchemy Furnace. After all, only by selling this amulet first could he have more money to bid for the furnace.
"Elder Mr. Zhao, I’ll leave the auction preparations to you, please get ready!" Su Xiaodie politely said to the old woman.
After the other party left, she gracefully walked to the coffee table, picked up the kettle, and bent over to pour tea for Xu Wendong and Ye Qingxin.
In that instant she bent over, the sight at her neckline was completely exposed to Xu Wendong’s eyes, which he found quite pleasing and couldn’t look away.
After all.
Won were his weakness.
It wasn’t until Ye Qingxin pinched him on the thigh that he snapped back to reality, then glared at Ye Qingxin: "You just interrupted my prayer to the Buddha Ancestor!"
Ye Qingxin almost spat out old blood, clearly it was lust, yet he spoke so righteously, this guy was truly hypocritical.
Looking at Su Xiaodie, she smiled and took out a Buddha pendant from her neckline: "Mister Xu also believes in Buddha?"
"Sort of, I am sowhat connected to Buddhism." Xu Wendong didn’t elaborate, after all his cultivation of the Muscle Change Classic and Golden Bell Shield Iron Cloth Shirt made him almost a half-disciple of Buddhism.
Su Xiaodie nodded slightly, saying: "At our Su Residence, we have two pendants blessed by Master Hui Cong from Shaolin Temple. If Mister Xu is interested, we could gift you one!"
Xu Wendong raised an eyebrow: "What’s the significance of that guy’s blessed pendants?"
Su Xiaodie said: "Master Hui Cong is a proud disciple of the Shaolin Temple’s Abbot. After he ets the Buddha Ancestor, the Abbot of Shaolin Temple will be Master Hui Cong."
Xu Wendong looked embarrassed: "I don’t like items with personal faith imbued in them, nor do I believe that the guy’s blessed items can protect ."
Su Xiaodie displayed an awkward smile, though the things blessed by Hui Cong had elents of personal faith, they had the influential value of a celebrity. Unspeaking of faith, just the future appreciation potential was substantial.
She cleared her throat and asked curiously: "Mister Xu, may I presumptively ask, do you have any more amulets? If so, our Su Residence is willing to purchase them at a high price!"
Xu Wendong said: "I have one more, but I’m not planning to sell it. However, if you can help gather so herbs, I’d still be willing to exchange items with you."
Although Xu Wendong could draw talismans himself, he couldn’t speak openly about it, nor could he produce them in large quantities. After all, rarity increases value.
If dozens or even hundreds of amulets suddenly appeared on the market, it would inevitably disrupt the market.
His simple idea was to sell one or two occasionally.
Upon hearing Xu Wendong had another amulet, Su Xiaodie’s eyes lit up, and she imdiately said: "Our Su Residence holds a decent position in the Martial World; six Great Grandmasters often entrust us to find herbs, so we do have the channels."
"We can guarantee that if it’s sothing you want, as long as it’s available in the market, we can definitely help you find it."
Xu Wendong said: "Alright then, find a pen and paper, I’ll list the herbs I need. If you can find them, I wouldn’t mind exchanging items with you."
Su Xiaodie promptly had soone bring paper and pen.
After receiving it, Xu Wendong flamboyantly wrote down the nas of dozens of herbs, so for refining Youth Preserving Pills, others for Body Tempering Pills.
"Prepare a hundred portions of each herb, and I’ll give you the last amulet." Xu Wendong handed the prescription to Su Xiaodie.
Seeing the herb nas, Su Xiaodie almost spat out old blood. Even after a brief glance, she noticed so herbs priced expensively by the gram.
Su Xiaodie sighed: "Mister Xu, the amount of herbs you’re asking for is too large! And they’re quite costly, even if I agree to the exchange, the Elders in the clan might object."
Xu Wendong, crossing his legs: "Then wait until after the auction for your answer!"
Su Xiaodie: "Alright."
She was also quite eager to see what high price Xu Wendong’s amulet could fetch. If the price were high, the clan certainly wouldn’t refuse cooperation with Xu Wendong.
After enjoying their tea, the auction was about to begin. Xu Wendong and Ye Qingxin, led by Su Xiaodie, entered the auction venue, which was already filled with people from the Martial World and affluent young masters from Su Province.
Though it was called an auction venue.
It was essentially a theater, with a stage up front. Below the stage were dozens of square tables, with tea, nuts, and pastries on them.
The six tables at the very front were reserved for the people sent by the six Great Grandmasters.
After all, they had eminent, exalted statuses.
However, Su Xiaodie also had another table set up in the front row.
It reflected the level of importance she placed on Xu Wendong.
Once Xu Wendong took his seat, he imdiately drew considerable attention.
Many people began to discuss, their eyes filled with curiosity as they looked towards Xu Wendong.
What was his background, they wondered, to sit in the front row?
