"Jade Invitation?"
Suddenly, everyone in the area, including the guard who stopped Xu Que, changed their expressions. They couldn't believe what they had just seen.
A young man, whose name they had never heard of, had come to the auction with a Jade Invitation!
Who is he?
All of a sudden, the crowd at the entrance started to discuss in low voices.
"This young man has a formidable background!"
"Every time the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce holds an auction, only ten Jade Invitation Cards will be sent to the five nations. On average, only two people from each nation can get a Jade Invitation Card. Could it be that this young man is from another nation? "
"It's a pity that the Jade Invitation Card is not signed. Otherwise, we could know his identity!"
"I heard it just now. He said he is Wang Sicong of the Exploding Heavens Faction!"
"Holy sh * t! The Exploding Heavens Faction? Does it mean he is from the same faction as General Zhuge? "
"Wow! General Zhuge is so powerful, but he didn't get a Jade Invitation. But this young man is from the same faction as General Zhuge and got one!"
"It seems he is also a tough guy!"
…
Under the surprise of many people, Xu Que strode into the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce.
The building was five stories high. Although it was not as spacious as the Imperial Palace, it was even more magnificent than the Imperial Palace of the Water Nation.
As soon as he walked in, he could feel all kinds of luxurious decorations. Glazed lamps, which could be used as magic artifacts, were used as lamps in this building. Some precious elixirs were placed in incense burners, which gave off a refreshing fragrance and were used as sandalwood incense.
Since Xu Que had a Jade Invitation Card, he was one of the most senior customers of the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce. As soon as he entered the building, he was led to a small room on the second floor.
The room was not big. There was only a table and several chairs, which were made of purple-gold sandalwood, giving off a faint fragrance.
There were no walls in the room. It was only covered by a curtain. From inside the room, one could clearly see what was going on in the hall on the first floor.
In the center of the hall was a spacious platform. There were several circles of chairs around the platform. Many people had already taken their seats. These people were the most common participants of the auction. They could enter the hall after paying a few hundred Spirit Stones.
"Prince Wang, you can watch everything in the auction from here. If you see any treasure you like, just ring the bronze bell and bid!" the waiter who had led Xu Que here said respectfully.
"En!"
Xu Que nodded and put on an aloof posture, remaining silent.
"Then, Prince Wang, do as you please. If you need anything, you can call me anytime!" The manservant was also very tactful. After saying that, he left the small room respectfully.
Xu Que also walked to the front of the curtain and looked around.
His room wasn't the only one on the second floor. There were nine other rooms that surrounded the main hall, allowing everyone in the room to clearly see what was going on below!
"Eh?"
Just as Xu Que walked in front of the curtain, he found that there was another figure in the opposite room, who seemed to be looking at him!
However, because of the curtain, Xu Que couldn't see the face of the person in the opposite room clearly. He could only tell from the figure that it was a woman, whose cultivation had reached level five of the Infant Transformation Stage.
"It seems like there are quite a lot of experts in the five nations!" Xu Que smiled and stopped paying attention to what was happening outside. He had already made up his mind to buy everything that was related to the Water Empress!
As time passed, there were more and more people in the main hall. Almost all the seats were occupied.
Suddenly, Xu Que raised his eyebrows and smiled. Then he activated his True Core Strength and pinched his palms together. Streaks of lightning intertwined and surrounded his palms, making a crackling sound!
The next moment, with a swoosh, a light figure dashed out from Xu Que's body and went straight to a corner of the main hall.
Then, a figure stepped out from the corner. It was a person who looked exactly like Xu Que, but his cultivation was only at level seven of the Original Infant Stage!
"It seems that the Shadowy Body of Three Thousand Thunders is quite reliable! Even I can't tell the difference!" Xu Que said to himself.
He called out his shadowy body, intending to occupy a seat downstairs so that they could buy all the things related to the Water Empress together.
However, this shadowy body looked exactly like him. Now, the real body was wearing a human skin mask, but the shadowy body was not. If he showed his real face, he would definitely be recognized.
"System, can the shadowy body change its appearance?" Xu Que asked the System.
Ding! "The Host can change the appearance of the shadowy body by relying on his Soul Strength!"
"What? Don't I need to use Acting Tough Points? "
Xu Que was stunned. Has the profiteering System changed its mind? It didn't say anything about Acting Tough Points!
Ding! "No Acting Tough Points are needed!" The System replied.
…
Hearing this answer, Xu Que was not used to it.
However, he didn't waste time. He immediately poured more Soul Strength into the shadowy body and imagined the appearance of an ordinary man in his mind. Instantly, the shadowy body's appearance changed accordingly!
"Wow, not bad! I like this function!" Xu Que was delighted.
The shadowy body could change its appearance at will. It would be much more convenient for him to do bad things in the future.
Dong!
At this time, a crisp metal trill suddenly rang out.
The originally noisy hall immediately quietened down upon hearing the sound.
After that, a beautiful woman with an enchanting figure walked out of the main hall. She was wearing a red court dress, but her skirt was so short that it reached the bottom of her thighs.
This kind of dress was quite normal on Earth. However, in the World of Cultivators, it was absolutely a bold dress.
The appearance of the woman in the court dress immediately attracted the attention of countless people in the main hall. Everyone was staring at her long legs which were exposed under the short skirt!
"Fellow cultivators, welcome to participate in the auction of our Chamber of Commerce. This auction will be hosted by me!" The woman in the court dress said with a smile. Her voice was crisp and coquettish, which made people's ears numb!
Many young cultivators in the main hall couldn't help but swallow their saliva. Their eyes were burning with desire.
Xu Que, who was sitting on the second floor, smiled.
This woman in the court dress was not as simple as she looked. Her every move and every word was mixed with a kind of charm. Those who were slightly weaker could easily be charmed by her and even bid impulsively in the auction!
"Heh, heh, how dare you use such a cheap trick!" Xu Que snorted disdainfully.
His voice was not loud. However, to his surprise, the woman in the court dress seemed to have heard him. She suddenly raised her head and looked at Xu Que with a playful smile on her face.
Xu Que's eyelids twitched a bit. This woman's hearing is way too good!
However, the woman didn't say anything. After glancing at Xu Que, she stepped onto the platform in the middle of the hall in front of many people's heated gazes.
Several servants also walked up to the platform. Each of them was holding a big jade plate which was wrapped in a red cloth. No one could see what was inside.
When the first servant walked up to the platform and stood next to the woman in the court dress, the woman waved her hand and lifted the red cloth.
"Today, the first item we are going to auction is a magic artifact made by the Water Empress. It is called the Jade Sea Cloud Chain. It is a Two-star magic artifact which can refresh the mind when worn. The starting price is 50,000 low-grade Spirit Stones. Each bid must be no less than 10,000 low-grade Spirit Stones. Ladies and gentlemen … Let's begin! "
After saying that, the woman in the court dress glanced at the cultivators in the main hall.
Many young cultivators were here for the Water Empress's magic artifact, so they were ready to raise their hands and bid excitedly.
"Dong!"
But at this moment, a crisp sound of a copper bell came from the second floor!
Following that, a sonorous and powerful voice was heard!
