"Isn’t that Li Xiu? Why is he also at the Demon Treasure Auction? The Trial Taker tournant is still ongoing, as the person in charge, what is he doing back in the Longevity City?" Han Minghui was chatting with a few bigwigs and couldn’t help but frown upon seeing Li Xiu enter the auction house.
Li Xianchun, beside him, was intrigued: "Li Xiu is taking ti out of his busy schedule to return, could it be that he specifically ca to participate in this Demon Treasure Auction? Is he also here for those two Demon Country Ancient Golden Boxes?"
Upon hearing this, a few people couldn’t help but ponder. Demon Treasure Auctions occur frequently, and there’s no need to travel such a long distance to attend one. If Li Xiu truly ca specifically for this event, it suggests that this auction might contain sothing particularly special.
The so-called Demon Treasure Auction is essentially selling items acquired from the Demon Kingdom that haven’t been useful and have been stockpiled in the city vault.
Periodically, the city vault will clear out so items to sell, and the proceeds are also returned to the vault.
The items cleared from the city vault are generally not Demon Cores or Gemstones, which have an ascertainable value.
Most are materials or items with uncertain purposes, and so even unexamined war trophies.
Of course, it’s not that these trophies can’t be examined, but rather it’s a deliberate ploy to attract wealthy individuals to the auction.
Many vaults of the ancient cities in the Demon Kingdom contain a special type of Demon Country Ancient Golden Box, which is crafted so intricately that once opened, it can’t be completely restored.
Therefore, before a Demon Country Ancient Golden Box is opened, no one knows what’s inside and can only judge based on its origin.
The hosts of the Demon Treasure Auction treat these Ancient Golden Boxes as mystery boxes, and the highest bidder wins. As for what one can get from them, it’s up to luck.
Generally speaking, the contents of a Demon Country Ancient Golden Box are quite varied, possibly containing boxes of Demon Cores, Demon Spirit Materials, or even various items made by the Demon Kingdom’s people, such as books and paintings. No one can predict what a sealed Demon Country Ancient Golden Box might contain.
Whether it’s a profit or loss depends on both luck and one’s understanding of the Demon Kingdom.
If the Demon Country Ancient Golden Box cos from the vault of a major city in the Demon Kingdom, it might contain boxes full of High-Level Demon Cores, which are unimaginably valuable.
Of course, such occurrences are rare, and the starting price for boxes from major city vaults is already quite high.
In the Longevity City, there’s a specific departnt that researches the Demon Country Ancient Golden Boxes, and the price for each is assessed through multiple rounds. Generally, as long as the auction price isn’t too high, one might earn a little, but making a big profit is less likely.
Of course, experts can’t always assess them accurately, and occasionally soone does open a box with a big score and becos rich overnight.
Such Demon Country Ancient Golden Boxes appear in every auction, making the event considerably more enjoyable.
People, after all, have a bit of a gambling nature.
After arriving at the Demon Treasure Auction, Li Xiu found a place to sit quietly without saying a word.
"The Trial Taker tournant is in full swing, and Commander Li, amidst his busy schedule, is here for the Demon Treasure Auction. Could it be that there’s sothing of interest?" Sun Wuxi had also co to the auction, greeted him, and sat down beside Li Xiu.
"I had so matters to report to the chairman, so I ca back. Just happened to hear about this auction and thought I’d broaden my horizons." Li Xiu looked at Sun Wuxi and said, "Commander Sun must be a veteran at this? Any experience or insights you could share with so I might also snag so useful treasures?"
Sun Wuxi replied, "I wouldn’t say I have experience. I attend the Demon Treasure Auction often but, unfortunately, not being knowledgeable enough ans I lose money about eight or nine tis out of ten."
"Does attending an auction require insight? Could there possibly be fakes at these auctions? I heard that the items co from city vaults. Who would dare to add fake items?" Li Xiu asked in surprise.
"The items are definitely not fake, but the auctioned items often have so problems, or their purpose is unknown. If your knowledge is vast, understanding those items’ purposes and value, you naturally won’t lose money. Otherwise, losing money is quite common." Sun Wuxi chuckled and continued, "As for those Demon Country Ancient Golden Boxes, they’re even trickier. For instance, the two boxes this ti are said to co from a major city in the Demon Kingdom called Celestial Communication City. That city, I hear, is the fiefdom of the Celestial Tong Princess in the Demon Kingdom and is quite extraordinary. Perhaps there’s sothing substantial inside."
"Celestial Tong Princess?" Li Xiu, having limited research on the Demon Kingdom’s history, hadn’t heard of this princess.
Sun Wuxi seed surprised, "Commander Li hasn’t heard of the Celestial Tong Princess?"
"My knowledge is shallow; I’m truly unfamiliar," Li Xiu said.
"To have developed the Light Planting Technique, your proficiency in Demon Text must be high. I assud you knew of the Celestial Tong Princess." Sun Wuxi was about to continue but paused as soone else approached and sat down on Li Xiu’s other side.
