"If that's the case, then take me to the auction." Lu Xuan nodded.
The maidservant smiled faintly and said, "The seats for this auction have already been sold out three days ago. However, Young Master's status is extraordinary, so it won't be a problem for you to temporarily join. However, you will still need to pay a deposit."
When Lu Xuan heard this, he didn't hesitate to toss a command medallion to the servant girl. It was the command medallion of the Jiuhua Alliance he'd just received from Long Boming. He didn't know if this command medallion was useful in the Vast Ocean Pavilion.
The maid took the medallion and looked at it. She couldn't help but be slightly shocked. She hurriedly took the medallion with both hands and respectfully handed it back to Lu Xuan. "So Young Master is a noble of the Jiuhua Alliance. This servant has been rude. Please forgive me."
"No matter. Can you take me to the room now?" Lu Xuan waved his hand carelessly and put the medallion away. It seemed that Long Boming hadn't lied to him. This Elder Medallion was very popular in Jiuhua City.
The maid smiled sweetly, "Of course, it is our Vast Ocean Pavilion's honor to have Young Master here. Young Master's status is extraordinary, so you naturally can't sit in the ordinary seats. This maid will prepare a private room for Young Master."
Lu Xuan wasn't surprised that the Vast Sea Pavilion still had some private rooms left. For auctions like this, they would usually leave some good seats open so that they could be put to use when people of high status came over.
"This servant's name is Bi 'er. May I ask Young Master's surname?" Bi 'er asked as she led the way. As someone who worked in Jiuhua City, she had a good understanding of the Jiuhua Alliance. However, she'd never seen Lu Xuan before. That Elder Medallion couldn't be fake, so she was a little curious.
"Lu Xuan," Lu Xuan answered simply.
Hearing this unfamiliar name, Bi 'er couldn't help but ponder, Lu Xuan? None of the elders in the Jiuhua Alliance had ever heard of this name, not even one with the surname of Lu. There was no way he was the nephew of an elder, but perhaps he was the disciple of an elder. Bi 'er could only speculate. Seeing that Lu Xuan didn't want to talk, Bi' er didn't open her mouth to disturb Lu Xuan. It was a taboo to offend an important person.
The Oceanic Pavilion had a total of seven levels, and the auction this time was being held on the seventh level. The people that were able to participate in an auction of this level were all people of status. They either possessed formidable strength or extraordinary status, or at the very least, they were the higher-ups of a trading company. Only by occupying a high position and looking down upon others would it conform to the thoughts of these people.
As they ascended, they quickly reached the seventh level. Bi 'er led Lu Xuan to an empty private room. The furnishings inside weren't extravagant, but they were simple and unadorned. It was a comfortable feeling, and it was obvious that a lot of thought had been put into it.
Lu Xuan stood at the window of the private room and looked down. The place was already filled with people, and it was a dense mass of people. Right in front of him was a spacious auction stage. However, the lights were not turned on at the moment, so it was a little dark. It was obvious that the auction had not officially begun.
Bi 'er didn't leave the room. Instead, she stood by Lu Xuan's side and waited upon him. When she saw Lu Xuan looking down at the crowd, she smiled and said, "There are many people participating in this auction, and they are all wealthy and respectable. If you have any rare items you wish to sell, you can give them to Bi' er and put them up for auction. They should fetch a good price."
Lu Xuan shook his head. Although he had a lot of treasures on him, most of them were useful. Even if they weren't useful, he could still give them away. There was no need for him to sell them.
At this moment, a bright light suddenly lit up on the auction stage, attracting everyone's attention. They saw a middle-aged man dressed like a scholar, surrounded by several beautiful maids. He slowly ascended the stage with a smile on his face as he bowed to the crowd.
"Thank you all for your kind hospitality. On behalf of the entire Vast Sea Pavilion, Old Xu would like to thank all of you. After a year of preparation, the Vast Sea Pavilion has finally collected a large number of treasures. This is why we dare to open this auction. We will not disappoint you all. However, the treasures are limited. If there is anything you like, then please hurry up and buy it. "The middle-aged man who called himself Old Xu said with a smile.
A trace of curiosity flashed in Lu Xuan's eyes. In front of so many experts, the host of such a huge auction was unexpectedly an ordinary person. It seemed like there was something extraordinary about him. Thinking of this, Lu Xuan couldn't help but turn to Bi 'er and ask, "Who is he?"
Bi 'er looked at Lu Xuan in surprise. She didn't understand why Lu Xuan didn't even know the person on the stage. However, she didn't say anything and only answered, "Shopkeeper Xu is the head shopkeeper of the Vast Sea Pavilion. He manages all the businesses of the Vast Sea Pavilion. He is deeply valued and trusted by the owner."
Lu Xuan slightly understood. So, he was the representative of the Vast Sea Pavilion. It seemed like the businesses of the Myriad Shark Island in Jiuhua City were all managed by this Shopkeeper Xu. No wonder he could be so calm in front of so many experts even though he was just an ordinary person.
At this moment, Shopkeeper Xu's laughter sounded again. "Let's get to the point. I know that you all didn't come here just to look at my old face. Someone, bring the treasures!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a beautiful girl stepped forward with a box in her hands and showed it to the crowd. Although they were far away, everyone's eyesight was extraordinary. They immediately saw what was inside the box. It was a huge demonic core.
"A few days ago, the Sky Sword Continent was filled with Beast Tides. I'm sure all of you are familiar with it. Although the major sects suffered great losses, they also reaped great rewards. Many rarely seen demon beasts appeared. This demonic core came from a Six-star Demon Emperor Realm Giant Deep Sea Jiao," Shopkeeper Xu said with a smile as he took the box from the girl's hands.
"The Giant Deep Sea Jiao is a tyrant in the ocean. It usually hides itself and is extremely difficult to find. More importantly, a Six-star Demon Emperor Realm Giant Deep Sea Jiao can rival an Eighth Level Grand Void Realm martial artist in the ocean. I'm sure all of you know how powerful it is.
"The demonic core of the Giant Deep Sea Jiao is even more useful. If a person who cultivates a cold attribute cultivation method takes it, his strength will increase dramatically. If a person who cultivates a body refinement technique takes it, his strength will increase by ten thousand catties. It is an excellent spiritual material for alchemy. If you all have a spirit beast, this demonic core can even help the bloodline of the spirit beast evolve. Alright, let's start the bidding. The starting price is two hundred supreme-grade Primordial Stones. "
"Three hundred supreme-grade Primordial Stones!"
"Three hundred and fifty!"
…
As soon as Shopkeeper Xu's voice fell, the bidding voices in the auction house rose one after another. Soon, the price of the Six-star Demon Emperor Realm Giant Deep Sea Jiao Core was raised to six hundred supreme-grade Primordial Stones.
Lu Xuan was also a little surprised. He didn't expect the Vast Sea Pavilion to take out such a treasure right at the beginning of the auction. A Six-star Demon Emperor Realm Demon Core was already very rare. Moreover, it was a powerful and rare Giant Deep Sea Jiao Core. Not to mention six hundred, it would not be a loss even if the price was doubled.
More importantly, Lu Xuan was also very interested in this demonic core. Ao Ze was from the Giant Deep Sea Jiao Clan. If he consumed this demonic core, it would be able to bring out its greatest value.
