At night, Black Thieves City had a different kind of magnificent beauty.
Under the red light of the nearby Giant Eclipse Star, the night here was as magnificent as the setting sun. From Wang Ruihao's restaurant, they could see the end of the empty street, where the red sphere occupied half of the sky.
The auction that Wang Ruike was talking about was in the big house with a huge advertising array that he had seen during the day. It was a stone house that was somewhat out of place with the other classical buildings. It was a bit like a modern building on Earth.
Yi Manying and Zhu Lingfei didn't like this place. The reason was that the woman on the advertising array was too revealing. Even the enthusiastic Shadow Clan woman wouldn't be so revealing. Of course, these were nothing compared to the Great Hooligan Ye, who had been influenced by Japanese films. They could only be considered to be at the level of realistic depiction.
As a woman and the young master of the Yi Clan, Yi Manying could live a high and mighty life as a powerful merchant. To Zhu Lingfei, as a Divine Lord, she had great power.
However, many women didn't have this. They lived in a different world. There were many ways to divide the world. At night, Black Thieves City was even more so. Those who came to the auction were all rich and powerful male cultivators, or powerful pirates. Everyone could come here to exchange everything and sell everything.
Walking into the hall, they saw a few sexy women crazily twisting and turning on the high platform. A group of men were cheering and raising their glasses. It looked like a European beer hall in the middle ages.
As a pirate, Wang Ruike naturally didn't have any self-awareness. He wanted to rush into the crowd and shout like the other men.
On the other hand, Ye Kong was not like this. He turned his head and looked at Zhu Lingfei who was beside him, who was feeling uncomfortable. He smiled and said, "This is not a bad place. Some people feel that this is heaven, while others feel that this is hell."
Ye Kong slightly bent his arm. Zhu Lingfei didn't hesitate to hold it.
What surprised Ye Kong the most was that Yi Manying actually took the initiative to come up and hold his other arm …
"Then, do you think this is heaven or hell?" Yi Manying's voice sounded behind Ye Kong's ear.
Unexpectedly, Ye Kong tightened his arms at the same time, clamping the soft hands on both sides of his arms and waist. He laughed and said, "Hugging on both sides, do you think I'm in heaven or hell?"
Just as Ye Kong clamped their wrists, Yi Manying suddenly felt an incomparable sense of security in her heart. The vulgar gazes of the pirates seemed to have suddenly lost their strength.
"Senior, do you want some Carefree Powder?" Suddenly, a wretched old man with a red nose walked out from the crowd.
Ye Kong was stunned. He had never heard of the Carefree Powder. He was puzzled. Could it be the medicine that Senior Zong Fang sold at the Paradise Realm?
Seeing that Ye Kong had stopped, the old man thought that there was business at his door, so he vigorously promoted, "My Unfettered Powder is very good. It's an authentic product produced by Red Hair Planet, and it only costs ten spirit stones. After eating it, I guarantee that you will be able to do whatever you want to do."
Ye Kong and the others didn't understand, but Wang Ruike did.
"Scram!" Wang Ruike kicked the old man away and said, "Are you blind? How could my master be a wastrel who likes to take these hallucinogenic pills!"
The old man was intimidated by Wang Ruike's imposing manner. He quickly put away the small bottle in his hand and disappeared.
"What is Carefree Powder?" Zhu Lingfei asked.
Wang Ruike didn't say anything, but Ye Kong already had a general understanding. This was actually similar to the hallucinogenic drugs on Earth. After eating it, people would be confused, excited, or intoxicated, immersed in a dream.
Sure enough, after Wang Ruike's introduction, it was really like that. This was a kind of stone from Red Hair Planet. Because of this effect, it was called Carefree Stone. After refining and grinding, it became Carefree Powder. The Red-Haired Planet produced both women and this thing. Many pirates went bankrupt because of this.
Walking to the second floor of this building, Wang Ruike said, "Master, the auction house is in front. Although it's a bit messy inside, this is the largest auction house in our Black Thief City. There are auctions 24 hours a day, but only at night will there be fine goods."
Ye Kong nodded, "Lead the way."
Wang Ruike led the way to the front of the auction house and paid the entrance fee.
He went in and saw that it was really messy. But there were also many people.
As far as the eye could see, there was a dense mass of over a thousand people crowded under a platform. It was like a market, extremely noisy and noisy. Some were shouting prices, some were cursing loudly, and it was extremely chaotic.
Ye Kong and the two girls were all shocked. Ye Kong had attended many auctions. Usually, people would sit quietly under the table and bid according to the rules. He had never seen such a chaotic auction. Even the auctions of demonic cultivators in the Black Dragon City were more polite.
"Alas, nowadays, people are not as good as demonic cultivators," someone sighed.
Yi Manying was avoiding the crowd around her. She said loudly in confusion, "Can there be anything good in this place?" The crowd was so noisy that she had to say it three times. In the end, she shouted so that Wang Ruike could hear her.
Wang Ruike laughed loudly, "Second Mistress (this guy is smart enough to correct himself), there must be something good in this place. There are all kinds of goods. As pirates, we sell whatever we rob here!"
Ye Kong said, "So they are all illegal goods. Are they cheap?"
Wang Ruike said, "It's hard to say. Some are cheap, and some are quite expensive!"
The crowd was really crowded. Fortunately, Zhu Lingfei was the Divine Lord. As soon as he released his momentum of the Soul Formation Realm, the pirates restrained themselves a lot. They were all brothers who lived on the edge and cherished their lives more than anything else.
Soon, the four of them squeezed under the high table. There were several Soul Formation Realm Divine Lord here. It turned out that it was the Divine Lord's privilege to stand in the front.
To Ye Kong's surprise, there was a one-eyed red-haired old man not far away from them. Even Zhu Lingfei couldn't see through his cultivation! Void Training!
Looking up at the high table, they saw that it was the red-haired women who were auctioning. The four red-haired women were completely naked. Yi Manying and Zhu Lingfei were too embarrassed to look at them. Behind them, the pirates were calling out higher and higher prices.
After the four women were sold. Immediately, a cultivator whispered a few words to the auctioneer. Soon, a few wooden boxes were taken out from his storage bag. These weren't ordinary wooden boxes. They were all artifacts that could expand space. It seemed like they were also the goods of the merchant ships.
The auctioneer shouted, "Thirty thousand catties of spiritual grains for only thirty thousand spirit stones. Speak if you want it!"
Yi Manying whispered into Ye Kong's ear, "Thirty thousand catties of Yunyao spiritual grains is at least sixty thousand spirit stones. Cangnan can be sold for a hundred thousand spirit stones."
Although it was cheap, this thing didn't seem to be easy to sell. After all, the people below were all pirates. Who would want so many spiritual grains back to eat?
The pirate who was entrusted to sell the spiritual grains cursed and jumped onto the stage. He shouted, "Twenty thousand spirit stones. Anyone want it?"
The next moment, there were a few pirates who jeered, "You can take it home and slowly eat it!"
The pirate who sold the spiritual grains shouted, "Five thousand spirit stones. If you want it, then take it. If you don't, then forget it!"
When Yi Manying heard this, she wanted to vomit blood. Things that were stolen were really worthless. Thirty thousand catties of spiritual grains for five thousand spirit stones? You guys are too wasteful. Do you know how hard it is to grow thirty thousand catties of spiritual grains?
But even so, Ye Kong and the others wouldn't make a move. After all, Ye Kong and the others didn't need to attract attention just to earn tens of thousands of spirit stones.
"I want it!" Suddenly, a fat middle-aged merchant shouted from behind. Then, he walked onto the stage and inspected the goods on the spot. The transaction was completed.
What Ye Kong and the others didn't notice was that after the fat middle-aged man finished the transaction, he returned to the back corner. There, there was a wooden wheelchair. Hu Hailong was sitting on it.
But Hu Hailong was sitting in the wheelchair. Naturally, he couldn't see Ye Kong.
After the fat middle-aged man bought the spiritual grains, he said, "When there are mortals on the other side, these spiritual grains will be useful. Five thousand spirit stones is really cheap."
Hu Hailong smiled and said, "Of course, if there are cultivators, there must be mortals. If there are mortals, they must eat food. These are the laws of heaven and earth. A world with only cultivators is not a perfect world."
The fat man smiled and said, "Young Master is wise. If not for Young Master's suggestion to transfer the mortals, the Sect Master wouldn't have considered this."
While they were talking, another cultivator jumped onto the stage and shouted, "I have three second-hand Star Boats here. If you want them, contact me. The price is cheap."
Ye Kong asked Wang Ruike doubtfully, "Can Star Boats be traded here?"
Wang Ruike smiled and said, "Of course. If you are interested, you can go with him. The auction house will also send someone to go with you as a witness and collect some fees."
Ye Kong asked again, "What if they can't reach a deal at that time? Wouldn't the auction house have gone there for nothing? "
Wang Ruike said, "Then just take it as an announcement. Just give a few hundred to a thousand spirit stones as a token of appreciation."
Ye Kong nodded.
While they were talking, another pirate jumped onto the stage and took out a paper bag from his storage bag. The paper bag wasn't big, about the size of half a palm. It was also very thin, and it was obvious that there was nothing inside.
However, the cultivator's movements were very careful, and he didn't even dare to breathe loudly. He opened the paper bag very gently, layer by layer. The noisy pirates immediately quietened down. They all widened their eyes and stared at the paper bag in the hands of the cultivator on the stage. They held their breaths, wanting to see what was inside the paper bag.
The paper bag was slowly opened, and a pinch of white powder appeared before everyone's eyes. It wasn't snow-white, but had a slight yellow tint to it. It looked a little like milk powder.
Ye Kong felt that it was a little familiar.
At this moment, the person on the stage showed it and wrapped the paper bag properly. Then, he said happily, "The last time we went out to catch sheep, we wandered around the Titan Star Field for half a year, but we didn't get any benefits. Just when our pirate crew was complaining, we didn't expect …" The cultivator beamed with joy and said, "Heaven opened its eyes. A gust of Firmament wind actually blew a pinch of Firmament Star Sand!"
