Even though it was just a branch, the Vine Sky Auction House was still very large. There were rows of palaces and pavilions, and it looked very imposing.
In particular, there were two lion-like Pi Xiu at the gate. They had the heads of dragons, the bodies of horses, and the legs of unicorns. Their bodies were covered in purple light, and their auras were astonishing.
Pi Xiu was a Heaven-ranked beast, and it was said to be one of the nine sons of the True Dragon. It had the effects of opening up luck, guarding homes, and warding off evil. Everyone else basically had two Pi Xiu carved out of stone and placed them outside the gate. The more extravagant ones used jade, gold, silver, and other materials. The Vine Sky Auction House actually had two Pi Xiu that were at least at the Honorable realm guarding the gate. They were really rich, and it was easy to see that the Vine Sky Auction House had some foundation.
On both sides of the gate stood a row of grey-clothed attendants. Every time someone wanted to enter, they had to show their invitation to the attendants.
Of course, there were some people who didn't have an invitation, but those people were all powerful cultivators with terrifying auras. At that time, the attendants would personally invite them in. They were as respectful as they could be.
This was a world where strength was everything.
There were people coming and going in front of the gate. At that moment, a person wearing a cloak and a hat covered his head. His entire body was surrounded by a black fog, and his aura was obscure. It was impossible to determine his level of cultivation. He looked extremely tall and big, and he walked out of the gate.
"Hello, sir. Welcome to our auction house's auction today. May I take a look at your invitation?" The cloaked man's attire was very obvious, so he naturally attracted a lot of attention. Seeing him walk forward, an attendant quickly greeted him politely and cautiously.
"Take me to see your manager. You can't make decisions for me!" A cold and sinister voice came from within the cloak.
Hearing this, some of the guests who were about to enter the auction looked over. They didn't know where this cloaked man had come from. How could he come to the Vine Sky Auction House and say something like that?
When they looked over, the pupils of some of the more powerful cultivators shrank. They couldn't see through the thin layer of black fog. It was obvious that this cloaked man's cultivation was not simple.
The corner of the attendant's mouth twitched and there was a flash of anger in his eyes. Although he was only an attendant of the Vine Sky Auction House and was only at the Spirit Transformation Realm, he had the backing of the Vine Sky Auction House, which was comparable to a large sect. Aside from the most powerful cultivators, who wouldn't talk to him with a smile?
However, today was the auction that the Sky Vine Auction House held once every three months. Not only were there strong cultivators from this city, but there were also strong cultivators from other cities. If he acted up now, he might be charged with something like offending a customer.
He didn't want to lose this job that seemed to have a bright future.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, the waiter pretended not to care about what he had just said. He still had a smile on his face as he said, "Sir, what business do you have with our manager? This lowly one can report to him!"
"There's something I want your auction house to auction!" The cloaked man said concisely.
"Alright, please follow me!" The corner of the attendant's mouth twitched. Then, he respectfully gestured for the cloaked man to enter and led the cloaked man into a corridor in the auction hall.
While leading the way, the attendant thought to himself, If this fellow sees that the deacon can't take out anything good, then I'll show him what I'm capable of. I'll definitely get the guards of the auction house to throw him out of the door so that I can vent my anger.
Even though the servant was thinking about it, he didn't slow down his pace. Soon, he led the cloaked man through the corridor and arrived at a well-decorated hall.
"Manager Han, this gentleman says that he wants to auction an item in our auction, and he asked me to bring him to you!" The attendant quickly walked up to a middle-aged man with a moustache and said respectfully.
"Hmm?" The middle-aged man looked very powerful. When he heard the attendant's words, he turned around and looked at the attendant coldly.
Seeing the look in Manager Han's eyes, the attendant's forehead broke out in a cold sweat. He regretted bringing that damned cloaked man with him. He decided that he would call the guards to beat this person up first before throwing him out.
However, Manager Han didn't pay attention to the attendant. He turned around and began to look at the cloaked man. Runes flowed through his eyes, but he still couldn't see the cloaked man's true appearance.
To be able to sit in the position of the Vine Sky Auction House's deacon, Manager Han's insight was not something that the attendant could compare to. He could immediately tell that the cloaked man was not ordinary. However, from the attendant's words, the cloaked man seemed to want them to auction an item.
However, the auction house had already decided on the item. Unless this person could take out a treasure that was comparable to the finale, the auction house would definitely not change the item.
"Sir, my surname is Han. I am the deacon of the auction house. May I know your name?" Since he could tell that the cloaked man was not ordinary, Manager Han naturally wouldn't act rashly. He spoke in a very friendly manner.
Seeing the cold expression on Attendant Han's face suddenly change, the attendant's expression changed, and his expression became slightly uneasy.
"My surname is Shi!" the cloaked man said indifferently.
"Mister Shi, it's an honor to meet you! May I know why Mister Shi has come to our auction house today? " Manager Han didn't care about the cloaked man's attitude. He was very knowledgeable and knew that some strong people had strange tempers. He still smiled and asked.
"I have an item that I would like you to auction today!" the cloaked man said.
"I don't know what Mister Shi would like to auction …" Manager Han maintained his composure and continued to speak with a smile on his face. "I'm sure Mister Shi knows that the auction house has already decided on the item. Unless our president agrees, it cannot be changed. If Mister Shi's treasure isn't too urgent, then please wait for three months. After three months, our auction house will definitely not disappoint Mister Shi. "
Manager Han's words were very tactful. However, the meaning behind his words was very clear. If the treasure was ordinary, then it would be best not to take it out. Even if it was a treasure of the highest quality, it would still require the president's approval.
The cloaked man didn't seem to understand Manager Han's words. He turned his right hand and a sparkling and translucent piece of bone appeared in his hand. It was a triangular piece of bone that was covered with patterns. "This is the item that I want to auction. How is it? Is it enough?"
The attendant saw the cloaked man take out a piece of bone that looked like it had been gnawed by a dog. He couldn't help but show a look of disdain on his face.
The attendant was already thinking if he should break the cloaked man's arms and legs while the guards were dealing with him.
