Chapter 30: Auction

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The auction house had a physical store and was quite famous. The name of this store was World Treasures Auction House.

The World Treasures Auction House was located on a bustling street. However, the storefront was very small, only about 20 square meters. There was a decadent-looking young man sitting inside all year round. The young man was either playing with his phone or eating takeout every day. He looked like he had no ambition.

But no one had ever dared to offend him.

The purpose of this World Treasures Auction House was to let customers find what they wanted to buy. As long as the customers could think of something, the World Treasures Auction House could buy it. Although the price was several times higher than the market price, there was still an endless stream of people.

It was already past nine o’clock in the evening. The most prosperous commercial street in Jinmen City displayed its unique charm. Neon lights flashed, and people walked on the street. All kinds of branded shop signs began to flash, giving off a luxurious vibe.

Chu Qing didn’t like this atmosphere very much. He preferred quiet residential areas or noisy food stalls. There was more life there.

According to the hint, Chu Qing quickly found the World Treasures Auction House. There didn’t seem to be many people at the auction house today. The young man was sitting there and scrolling through his phone while yawning.

…..

“What time is it… Why are there still people here?”

The young man looked up and seemed a little impatient. Chu Qing finally saw this young man’s appearance. His somewhat dispirited expression could not hide his handsomeness at all. He was wearing hip-hop clothes as if he was going to participate in a party after work.

“We’re closed. Come back tomorrow.”

The young man told him to leave.

Chu Qing was a little stunned. He did not expect this young man to be so rude as to chase him away.

“Aren’t you going to take a look?” Chu Qing asked with a smile.

“Look at what?”

“Look at what I’m selling.”

A trace of curiosity finally appeared in the young man’s eyes. He stood up and walked over.

“What is it? You’ve already piqued my curiosity. Don’t disappoint me.”

The young man said, but there was a hint of threat in his words.

“Trust me, 1 won’t let you down.”

Chu Qing did not hide anything. Such a large auction house had been standing for so many years. 1 lonesty was a very important quality.

Chu Qing took out a Spirit Stone from his pocket. The golden diamond-shaped crystal emitted a charming light and seemed to be a little dangerous.

“What? So it’s Topaz… No!”

Halfway through his sentence, the young man’s eyes flashed, and his entire body erupted with a shocking aura. It was completely different from his dispirited image just now!

“This is… Can I take a look?”

“Of course, you can.”

The young man’s words revealed an inquiring attitude, and Chu Qing nodded.

The young man immediately took the crystal carefully. Then, he closed his eyes and carefully sensed it. A moment later, a pleasantly surprised expression appeared on his face. Chu Qing smiled slightly, but he felt relieved. From the young man’s expression, this thing was definitely very rare and costly. He had guessed correctly!

“Hello, let’s start all over again. My name is Zhai Yu. I’m considered the half-baked heir of the World Treasures Auction House.”

“My name is Chu Qing.”

Chu Qing smiled and shook his hand.

“Which ancient martial arts family are you from? Why haven’t I seen you before…”

Zhai Yu was a little curious. He was the heir of the family, so he had seen many people from the ancient martial arts families. But why had he never seen this young man in front of him?

“I have my own lineage.”

Chu Qing said sincerely. Although what he said was true, a part of him was trying to act like a pretentious prick…

“I see… Then let’s talk about this thing again. What’s his name? What’s its specific function?”

“It’s called a Spirit Stone. You should already know its effect.”

Chu Qing didn’t hide its name. Spirit Stones were also the most suitable name for it.

Zhai Yu nodded. He naturally cultivated ancient martial arts as well. When he held the Spirit Stone just now, he could feel that the Spirit Stone seemed to be transmitting some mysterious power to his hand, which could greatly increase his cultivation speed.

“How many more do you have, Mr. Chu?” Zhai Yu asked.

“Five.”

“Alright, I’ll give you a minimum estimate of 200,000 yuan for this item. There are a total of five of them. If you plan to sell them all, 1’11 give you a deposit of one million yuan now. Is that okay?”

Chu Qing nodded, but he was a little happy in his heart. This thing was much higher than his estimate. The deposit was 200,000 yuan per piece. If he auctioned it all off, wouldn’t it be worth two million yuan?

“Alright, Mr. Chu, are you free later? Please come in and have a seat.”

“No, we’ll do it another day.”

Zhai Yu nodded, but he had already secretly made up his mind to build a good relationship with Chu Qing..
