Hou Sailei's business in the Wilderness is now thriving, especially after Chen Village rose to prominence. The cooperation between Chen Village and him has become even closer, and his own company, Vast Sea Pavilion, is now a first-class trading firm in the Wilderness.
In his spare time, he would often stay in Chen Village for a few days, so his relationship with Chen Mu became increasingly close.
"Special training? Forget it. Last time, your disciple Chen Xuejun almost dissected me."
Even if you kill me, I will never go back to your lab for special training again!
Hou Sailei glared at Chen Mu with lingering fear, then quickened his pace.
A few days ago, Hou Sailei discovered that many people in Chen Village had improved their strength very quickly, so he asked Chen Mu to help him improve his strength.
However, Hou Sailei was lazy and unwilling to endure hardship or cultivate diligently, so Chen Mu simply used him as an experimental subject and had Chen Xuejun use biological gene technology on him.
Under safe conditions, Chen Xuejun used gene cell enhancement technology on Hou Sailei, which did indeed significantly improve Hou Sailei's strength.
But Hou Sailei vaguely woke up, he found that Chen Xuejun had actually cut his body tissue for testing, which terrified him so much that he could not eat or sleep, and he never dared to go to Chen Mu's Rune Research Institute again.
"Sigh, how can you become a strong person if you're afraid to take any risks?"
Chen Mu pursed his lips, utterly helpless against Hou Sailei's personality.
Not long after, they arrived at the gate of a magnificent building.
As soon as they arrived at the door, a beautiful woman in a yellow gauze dress greeted them.
"Gentlemen, do you have any admission tickets?"
Chen Mu glanced at the woman and discovered that she actually had the Early Qi Nourishing Realm. The fact that a cultivator of this level would be working as a waitress here showed that the scale of this auction was indeed very high.
Hou Sailei calmly took out two scrolls and handed them to the woman in purple.
The woman in purple unfurled the scroll, sensed the runes within, and nodded.
"Welcome! Please follow me, gentlemen."
She led Chen Mu and the other man through the gate, down a long corridor, and finally to the ground floor of a spacious hall.
"Please, gentlemen, take your seats here; you may choose any of them."
Chen Mu glanced around at the surroundings. The seats in the hall were arranged in a semi-circle around the auction room in the center, with only a few hundred seats. This was in the middle of the auction room, and although the location wasn't the best, it was still pretty good.
The auction hall had tall, luxurious private boxes on both sides. It was said that these boxes were not open to the public, and only the imperial nobles with deep roots and the heads of powerful forces could be invited to sit there.
Although Hou Sailei is a direct descendant of the Eight Directions Chamber of Commerce, his Lineage is very large and he has only started to gain some fame in recent years. His reputation is not enough to represent the Eight Directions Chamber of Commerce, so he was not invited to the event.
Although Chen Village reigned supreme in the Wilderness, it was not well-known in the Central Land. Moreover, Chen Village had just risen to power and its foundation was far inferior to that of the other eight tribes, so naturally no one paid it any attention.
He and Hou Sailei found a comfortable spot and sat down.
"These are your license plates."
The woman in purple handed Chen Mu a sign that read '328'.
"Gentlemen, if not necessary, please do not change seats after you have taken your seats so that we can maintain order. Thank you for your cooperation."
After speaking, the woman in purple bowed and turned to leave.
Before attending the auction, Chen Mu had a general understanding of the auction house's rules, so he didn't say much and quietly waited for the auction to begin.
Outside the auction house, inside the teahouse and tea room.
A woman with stunning beauty and captivating charm was leaning against the table, drinking tea.
" Honglian, Chen Mu has already entered the auction house."
He only gets to come out once in a while, we absolutely can't let him get away."
A short man walked in from outside and reported to the woman.
Since Chen Village rose to power, it has been invincible, but it has also made countless enemies, especially the several ancient and advanced tribes that were annexed by Chen Village, many of whose leaders have fled.
Although these tribal leaders were not very powerful, they had accumulated a great deal of wealth over the centuries, so they hired an assassin organization to target Chen Mu.
Anyone with eyes can see that the most important reason why Chen Village is so powerful is Chen Village puppets and Rune Artifacts. Therefore, Chen Mu is the best breakthrough point to take revenge on Chen Village.
However, in the past two years, all the assassins who sneaked into the inner city of Chen Village have never returned, including some top assassins whose strength is comparable to that of the Core Formation Realm.
Over time, Chen Village's inner city became a den of wolves and tigers. No assassin dared to go to Chen Village to assassinate Chen Mu, and they could only place their hopes on what would happen after Chen Mu left Chen Village.
"Don't worry! This time he definitely won't escape our grasp."
Honglian took a sip of tea, her expression full of confidence.
Both of them were members of the assassin organization ' Zodiac ', Zodiac had a very large intelligence network, so they followed Chen Mu as soon as he arrived in Kuiming City.
Above the auction hall, a sexy woman in a purple gauze dress walked out. Her face was stunning and her figure was elegant. Just by standing there, she became the focus of the entire hall.
"Hello everyone, I am Han Fang, the auctioneer hosting this auction."
On behalf of Kuiming Auction House, I would like to welcome all bidders.
Kuiming Auction House is known for its fairness and impartiality. All items are sold to the highest bidder. I think everyone knows the rules, so I won't go into details.
"Therefore, I hereby declare the auction officially open. Please present the first item."
As soon as she finished speaking, four burly men behind her carried a huge item to the center of the auction hall.
The item was covered with a red cloth, obscuring its appearance, but judging from its size, it was over four meters long, making it a colossal piece.
Han Fang walked to the auction item and announced loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, the first item in this auction must be a good one. This is a set of demonic beast bones, the skull of a Azure Nether Demon Wolf, a Demon King -level beast."
As she spoke, she lifted the red cloth covering the item, revealing a terrifying skull that shone as brightly as white jade.
Mysterious runes shone in Chen Mu's right pupil, and the Rune Core program in his cerebral cortex also started working, quickly obtaining most of the information about the skeleton.
"This Azure Nether Demon Wolf has reached adulthood and its strength has reached the Mid Demon King. Although its demon core has been taken away, its skull is indestructible and can be used to extract essence blood, bone marrow, and so on. Whether used for refining weapons, alchemy, or talisman making, it is a top-notch material."
The auction will now begin. The starting price is twenty Rank 5 Spirit Stone, and each bid must be at least five Rank 5 Spirit Stone higher.
The woman in purple at the auction briefly introduced the items for sale before the bidding began.
For ordinary people, Grade 5 Spirit Stone are a high-level currency that is difficult to obtain, but for an auction of this scale, Grade 5 Spirit Stone are the basic currency, and all goods are basically settled in Grade 5 Spirit Stone.
