With Cheng Zhongfan's guarantee, the gatekeeper naturally did not dare to say anything. After all, Cheng Zhongfan was a genuine disciple of the Kuishan Sect.
The cultivators behind were not surprised to see this scene. After all, Xiao Chen had previously said that he was from the Kuishan Sect, so it was normal for someone from the Kuishan Sect to welcome him.
"Deputy Director Yang, why are you here?" Cheng Zhongfan asked politely after they reached a place with no one else around.
"Oh, I'm here to carry out a mission. It's not good to expose my identity," Xiao Chen said in a low voice.
Among the cultivators here, only Cheng Zhongfan had been in the secular world and knew Yang Jiannan. The others naturally did not know him.
"I see!" Cheng Zhongfan looked like he understood. "If there's anything you need help with, Deputy Director Yang, just say the word. I won't hesitate to help!"
"By the way, I have some things I want to auction here. Do you know where to go?" Xiao Chen originally wanted to ask, but since he had an "acquaintance" like Cheng Zhongfan, he would not stand on ceremony.
"Oh, the Kuishan Sect also has some things to auction. It's just over there. I'll take you there!" Cheng Zhongfan did not think there was anything wrong with this. After all, people who came to the auction did not necessarily have to buy things. They could also be here to sell things.
Cheng Zhongfan led the way and brought Xiao Chen to the door of a room in the corner of the hall. He knocked on the door, and soon, a middle-aged man in staff uniform opened the door. When he saw that Cheng Zhongfan looked familiar, he nodded and said, "What's the matter?"
"Oh, this young hero has something to auction here, so I won't disturb you. Young Hero Yang, you talk to him!" Cheng Zhongfan did not follow him in and stayed at the door.
Although he did not know what Xiao Chen wanted to auction, this kind of thing was very taboo. It was the same principle that the Kuishan Sect did not want others to know about the things they auctioned.
After closing the door, the middle-aged man looked at Xiao Chen from head to toe and said faintly, "You're from the Kuishan Sect? Didn't you just send something to be auctioned? What, did you miss something? "
Although the Kui Mountain Sect had a lot of influence, Xiao Chen didn't seem like an important figure. The middle-aged man was very busy, so it was only natural that he didn't want to see him.
"Oh, it's like this. There's an item that we didn't want to auction because it's very precious. But after thinking about it, we decided to take it out." Xiao Chen didn't mind the middle-aged man's attitude. If you don't take out something good when doing business, how will the other party treat you well?
Moreover, the Kuishan Sect had already been here once. Normal people would not think that there would be anything good here. That was why Xiao Chen pointed out that there was something valuable.
"Oh?" As expected, the middle-aged man's expression changed. His previous impatience was gone. Instead, he was filled with anticipation. "What is it? Take it out and let me see!"
"It's a mental cultivation method secret manual!" Xiao Chen said, "This secret manual is called the Five Poisons Secret Manual …"
"What did you say?! The Five Poisons Secret Manual?! " The middle-aged man's expression suddenly changed. He stared at Xiao Chen in shock. "Is this really the Five Poisons Secret Manual that has been lost in the martial arts world for a long time? Why is it in the Kui Mountain Sect? "
"I don't think there's a need to explain the origin of the item to the auction house, right?" Xiao Chen was also a little shocked. Was this Five Poisons Secret Manual something amazing? Why did this middle-aged man have such an expression?
"I'm sorry, I lost my composure!" The middle-aged man came back to his senses and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, there's really no need to explain. The auction house doesn't have such a rule that we must know the origin of the item! I'm just a little shocked. This is a secret manual that once set off a bloody storm in the martial arts world. It's actually in the Kui Mountain Sect! "
"Hehe." Xiao Chen smiled and did not reply. Instead, he took out the Five Poisons Secret Manual. Although he somewhat regretted saying those words, he had already said them. It was impossible for him to go back on his word.
He did not know that this Five Poisons Secret Manual had such a great reputation and origin. However, Xia Zhili did not seem to know about it either. It seemed that this was a matter of the outer martial arts world.
"This Five Poisons Secret Manual is authentic?" The middle-aged man took it and wanted to flip through it. However, he found that it was sealed and could not be opened, so he asked with some doubt.
This was sealed by Xia Zhili before. The purpose was to prevent the auction house from secretly looking at it and copying it. That would be meaningless. After all, the value of the secret manual lay in the words on it. Few people knew about it. If there were many copies, it would be everywhere.
"This thing is up to the wisdom of the wise. I'll take it out for auction. If you believe it, you can naturally buy it, but if you don't believe it, there's no way!" Xiao Chen said.
"That's true. I'm too excited today. You're right. These things are up to the buyer to judge for themselves. However, I suggest that we still reveal the contents of the first two pages during the auction. Otherwise, it's very likely that there will be an awkward silence!" The middle-aged man said, "Of course, it will be opened during the auction. It won't be opened in advance!"
"This is no problem!" Xiao Chen nodded and said, "Everything will be arranged by your side! However, how much can this Five Poisons Secret Manual sell for? "
"This book can no longer be measured by its value. However, according to the financial resources of this auction house, it should be about one billion!" The middle-aged man estimated.
"One billion …" If Xiao Chen knew this value before, he would be very shocked, but now he knew that this price was definitely low because this secret manual was priceless. Fortunately, Xiao Chen had a copy in his hand.
"Of course, if it doesn't reach the price in your heart, young hero, you can choose not to sell it. You can set a minimum transaction price. If it doesn't reach that price, we will return the item directly to you. We won't secretly check it!" The middle-aged man said, "You can rest assured about the reputation of our Outer Martial Arts Auction. It has been held for many years. It's impossible for us to embezzle the items of our guests!"
"I naturally trust your side. Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken it out. However, try to sell it as much as you can!" Xiao Chen wasn't stupid enough to take it back. This thing would be snatched to death by others.
Wasn't this looking for trouble? Xiao Chen was now afraid that others would come looking for trouble after this. If there was a Five Poisons Secret Manual, it would be safe.
"No problem. I will tell them." The middle-aged man nodded and responded.
"There is one more thing. Please keep it a secret. Don't say that our Kuishan Sect took it out," said Xiao Chen.
"That's for sure. Unless the customer deliberately requests to say the information of the provider, we won't say it." The middle-aged man said, "Right, young hero, is there anything else?"
"No." Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Then you should leave as soon as possible. If someone sees it, maybe they will think of something." The middle-aged man said, and then he gave a receipt to Xiao Chen. "This is the voucher. You can collect it later."
"Thank you!" After Xiao Chen put it away, he quickly left the room. Cheng Zhongfan was chatting with Xia Xibin at the door. Xiao Chen didn't know what they were talking about. He listened and found that it was some unimportant things.
On the contrary, Xia Xibin intentionally or unintentionally probed something. "Haha, Mr. Cheng is overpraising me. I'm just taking over as the team leader of Team C. This is also thanks to Brother Yang's promotion. However, does your Cheng family still need my help? Didn't they all go to the Kuishan Sect? "
"Hehe, Team Leader Xia is modest. My son, Cheng Mengqiang, will return to Songning City sooner or later. He came here just to gain experience and get the title of a registered disciple. When he goes back, he can also expand the Cheng family!" Cheng Zhongfan smiled. "So, please take care of me, Team Leader Xia!"
"Of course, no problem! Right, where is Cheng Mengying? "asked Xia Xibin.
"Ah? Cheng Mengying? "Cheng Zhongfan was stunned.
"Haha, it's okay. I used to be her classmate. I think this girl is quite beautiful. Hehe, I'm just asking." Xia Xibin smiled.
"Oh, it's good. She is practicing in our Kuishan Sect, but she is engaged to Yao Bowang. Of course, it is just an engagement. There is no substantial progress!" When Cheng Zhongfan heard it, he suddenly regretted it. It would be great if Cheng Mengying married Xia Xibin. Xia Xibin would soon be the team leader of the Supernatural Investigation Bureau's Team C. He would take more care of the Cheng family. At that time, it would be a great help for Cheng Mengqiang!
So, he immediately pointed out that there was no substantial progress between Cheng Mengying and Yao Bowang. If Xia Xibin was good enough, he could pursue it himself, but there was no way to ask for his help.
"It's a pity. I like her quite a lot." Xia Xibin was a little disappointed. "But I'm only the deputy team leader of Team C. It's not enough. When I become the deputy bureau chief, I will see if I can bring her back."
"Ai, if you want to force it, the deputy bureau chief is not qualified." Cheng Zhongfan thought that Xia Xibin wanted Yang Jiannan to help, so he explained, "The Kuishan Sect has a backer in the martial arts world. If it were a small sect, the deputy bureau chief of the Supernatural Investigation Bureau would be a great existence. They would give him face no matter what, but the Kuishan Sect won't, unless it's the bureau chief of the Supernatural Investigation Bureau."
"I see …" Xia Xibin nodded calmly. "I just said it casually … Hey, Brother Yang is out. Let's go for a walk first. See you at the auction!"
"Okay, see you at the auction!" Cheng Zhongfan felt that he had a good chat with Xia Xibin. When Cheng Mengqiang went back, maybe he could rely on them for help.
Xiao Chen heard the conversation between Xia Xibin and Cheng Zhongfan clearly. He secretly nodded to Xia Xibin. This guy is smart. He knows to take the opportunity to ask what I want to know.
When they walked to a place where there was no one, Xiao Chen said, "There were some mistakes this time. The Five Poison Secrets is a very important thing. Taking it out for auction now may cause some unnecessary trouble!"
