Another three spiritual herbs, two spirit pills, and a low-grade spirit sword were auctioned off.
Wang Xian only listened halfheartedly before losing interest completely.
The quality was decent but not outstanding, and the prices all fell within a reasonable range. Nothing particularly caught his eye.
Still, he came to understand the atmosphere of the auction.
Golden Treasure Pavilion truly knew how to do business. The pacing between each item was perfectly controlled—quick when it needed to be quick, slow when it needed to be slow.
From time to time, they would slip a slightly better item among the more ordinary lots, heating the atmosphere back up.
He could not help calculating in his head. Golden Treasure Pavilion had arranged at least fifteen or sixteen lots today.
Even if each item sold for an average of five thousand spirit stones, the total transaction value would be around seventy or eighty thousand spirit stones. The five percent commission alone would bring in three or four thousand spirit stones in pure profit.
And that did not include the entrance fees—anyone who came in to watch the excitement had to pay fifty to a hundred spirit stones. With nearly three hundred people seated in the hall, that was another several tens of thousands of spirit stones in revenue.
Then there were the private rooms on the second floor. Using just one cost two thousand spirit stones, and eight or nine had been opened today, bringing in several more tens of thousands.
With money flowing in from every direction, Golden Treasure Pavilion could easily rake in a fortune from a single auction.
The land deed Wang Xian had put up for auction would earn Golden Treasure Pavilion an even larger sum.
At that thought, he could not help cursing inwardly. This business is fucking easy.
