Imperial City Auction.
At this moment, Li Changfeng handed the invitation to the auction house guard and slowly walked inside. He saw that the room was extremely spacious, with the floor covered with luxurious white jade bricks.
Four pillars carved with dragon patterns supported the entire hall, which was surrounded by glowing luminous pearls. Many young and beautiful women served the guests, making it look extremely luxurious!
The auction house is divided into three floors. The first floor is for ordinary martial artists with some money, and it is also the largest hall. It is already filled with hundreds of people, each wearing a black veil to cover their face, and they are crowded together.
The second floor is for people with some influence, those who are well-known or influential in the martial arts world. It consists of several fine suites where each person sits alone and has private beverage service, so they don't have to squeeze in with the people below.
The third floor is the highest level, reserved for powerful individuals. It consists of luxurious suites with tiger-skin beds, free-flowing wine and spiritual fruits, and extremely beautiful maids who provide attentive service. It is the epitome of luxury!
Li Changfeng's invitation allowed him to enter the second floor, avoiding the crowds below, which was quite good. Li Changfeng slowly walked into the suite, lay down, and waited for the auction to begin.
There was still some time before the auction started, and Li Changfeng slowly observed the crowd coming and going around him, noticing several familiar faces.
"Hey! These guys are here too!"
Suddenly, several young talents entered the auction house, causing an uproar among the crowd. They exclaimed in surprise, "We didn't expect that Zuo Kangcheng the Mount Song Sect, Sun Hongwen from the Ironclad Gate, Yue Hanhai the Medicine God Valley, all of Human Rankings, would be here!"
Hearing the commotion around him Zuo Kangcheng smiled broadly, "Brother Sun! Brother Le! Please!"
Sun Hongwen and Yue Hanhai smiled slightly, "Brother Zuo! Please, you too!"
The three exchanged pleasantries and prepared to go up to the third floor together. Just as they stepped onto the stairs, they heard a commotion behind them. They turned around and were slightly taken aback when they saw who it was.
"Wow!! Aren't these Zhou Zhiruo and Hua Xinglian, the three beauties of Southern Emperor Province! I didn't expect them to come too! What a feast for our eyes!"
"If I could have one of them as my wife, I would gladly shorten my lifespan by fifty years!"
"Tch! With your looks, even a street brothel owner wouldn't want you, yet you want three beauties? Go grab a mirror and look at your own stupid face, what a joke!"
"You!! You're asking for death!" The guest who was insulted had a gloomy face and stared intently at the person who insulted him, but seeing the imposing presence here, he dared not make a move.
The man smiled slightly upon seeing this, "Hehe! I'm just stating the facts. If you're not satisfied, let's settle this one-on-one later!"
"Fine! You just wait!"
At this moment, chaos erupted on the stage, all caused by the two beauties. Seeing this, the host smiled wryly and shouted, "Everyone! Calm down! Please quiet down!"
The voice carried a powerful intimidating force, silencing everyone in the hall as they looked at the speaker with apprehension.
Zhou Zhiruo and Hua Xinglian frowned slightly upon seeing this and slowly walked towards the top floor. Zuo Kangcheng and the other two couldn't sit still and rushed forward to fawn over them!
Zuo Kangcheng smiled slightly and said, "Junior Sister Zhou! Junior Sister Hua! This way, please!"
Sun Hongwen rushed forward, pushing Zuo Kangcheng aside, and said with a smile, "Junior Sister Zhou! Junior Sister Hua! This way, watch out for the steps!"
Seeing this, Yue Hanhai shook his head, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Greetings, junior sisters! Yue Hanhai from Medicine God Valley. I am honored to have you here!"
Hua Xinglian nodded with a cool and beautiful expression, then walked slowly past them towards the top floor.
Zhou Zhiruo, with a worried expression, didn't hear their words at all and walked right past them towards the top floor.
Yue Hanhai stood there stiffly, utterly embarrassed. Zuo Kangcheng and Sun Hongwen, seeing this, burst into laughter and put their arms around his shoulders. "Come on! Stop being so polite..."
Yue Hanhai gave a wry smile and slowly followed them up to the top floor.
Upon noticing the situation below, Li Changfeng smiled slightly, "I didn't expect this girl to be here too. She seems to have something on her mind. I wonder what's wrong!"
Suddenly, Li Changfeng noticed a new face entering the room, and his pupils contracted slightly. "He... he's still alive!"
At this moment, a cold and aloof young man slowly walked in. Without saying a word, he headed straight for the top floor. People passing by made way for him, looking at the young man with great apprehension. This man was none other than Li Wuyai, who had returned!
Zuo Kangcheng looked at Li Wuyai with a solemn expression and said, "I never expected that he would survive such serious injuries. His luck is truly astonishing!"
Sun Hongwen said solemnly, "I heard that his True Qi Seed was destroyed, but he escaped to a place alone, ate a mysterious fruit, restored his foundation, and even regained his cultivation. His strength is much greater than before!"
Yue Hanhai nodded upon hearing this, "Yes! But it seems he has lost most of his memories, only remembering the cultivation techniques and martial arts skills. He only returned recently!"
Zuo Kangcheng said with a wry smile, "What a lucky guy! He survived such a blow from Li Changfeng and even came back to life, his strength has even increased to a higher level!"
At this moment, Li Changfeng's face was gloomy, and he was extremely annoyed. Why didn't that palm strike hit him directly on the head earlier, giving him a chance to turn the tables?
Li Changfeng thought to himself, "Li Wuyai! If you run into me again, it will be your death day!"
Li Wuyai sat in the top-floor suite, his hands clenched tightly, a red glint flashing in his eyes. "Li Changfeng! Once I win this precious pill, the next time you see me, it will be your death day!"
"Boom! The auction has officially begun!"
"First item! The Sharp Morning Light! Starting bid: 100,000 taels, minimum increment of 10,000 taels!"
"Wow!!" The crowd was surprised that the first item to be auctioned was a weapon, and moreover, a sword, which was used by the most people. This caused a stir among the crowd, and everyone became very interested in the sword!
Seeing this, Li Changfeng smiled slightly and thought to himself, "This sword was thrown in for auction by him. I didn't expect it to be used as the opening item. This host is indeed quite shrewd!"
Upon Zuo Kangcheng's eyes lit up slightly, and he transmitted his voice, "Brother Le! Brother Sun! I am determined to have this sword. If I don't have enough money, please help me!"
Sun Hongwen and Yue Hanhai smiled slightly upon hearing this and transmitted their voices, saying, "Each of us can only contribute a maximum of 30,000 taels. Whether we can win the bid depends on you!"
Zuo Kangcheng was overjoyed upon hearing this and said, "Thank you very much! I'll treat you to drinks afterward!"
