Jiang Ping, Wan’er, and the others were led to a VIP room on the second floor of the auction house.
Looking out from the private room, they could clearly see the entire auction house, but people from the outside could not see inside.
‘As soon as they entered the private room, Wan’er and her siblings were so excited that they almost jumped up and down. However, when they saw that there were outsiders, they forcefully suppressed their excitement.
‘The manager chuckled and said to Jiang Ping, “Sir, is the environment here okay?”
“Yes, it’s okay,” Jiang Ping replied casually.
‘The manager did not care. On the contrary, Jiang Ping’s appearance made him even more convinced that Jiang Ping must be a young master from a major power!
He smiled and asked again, “By the way, may I know your surname, sir?”
“My surname is Jiang.”
“So it’s Mr. Jiang!” The manager pretended to be enlightened.
He was frantically searching for information about the major powers with the surname Jiang in his mind. However, he couldn’t recall any major powers with the surname Jiang in Fusheng City or the surrounding cities.
That’s right. He must be some hermit expert, right?
‘The manager temporarily threw these thoughts out of his mind and explained with a smile, “Mr. Jiang, there are a total of twelve private rooms on the second floor of the Hundred Treasures House’s auction hall.”
“These private rooms are prepared for distinguished guests like you. The private rooms are on the second floor and can overlook the entire auction. You can learn about the items on the stage at the first moment.”
“Moreover, the privacy of these rooms is excellent. From the private rooms below and next door, it is absolutely impossible to pry into the situation in this room. It can definitely protect your privacy.”
In an auction, there would always be many people who would take a fancy to a treasure.
There was only one of each treasure, and those who failed to obtain the treasure at the auction would inevitably feel indignant. They might even take the risk to kill and steal.
This was especially so for the competition between those large powers, which was extremely dangerous. It was either you die or I live!
Even tigers were afraid of a pack of wolves, so many large powers did not want to be harried by all kinds of enemies.
Therefore, in order to take care of those big customers, private rooms like this were essential.
‘The manager nagged for a while, and when he saw that Jiang Ping revealed a trace of impatience and his thoughts were somewhere else, he quickly shut his mouth. He smiled and said, “Mr. Jiang, please go ahead. I will take my leave first.”
“If you have any instructions, just ring the bell on your hand. I will serve you.”
“Okay, you may leave.”
Jiang Ping waved his hand. The manager did not dare to delay any longer and respectfully left.
‘Wan’er and her siblings had suppressed their questions for a long time. They suddenly exploded and said, “Dad, this is great! I finally know what an auction is like!”
“Dad, does an auction really have everything?”
“Hiss, this…” Jiang Ping was stunned when he heard what Yan’er said.
An auction naturally couldn’t have everything, but if he were to say it directly, Yan’er would say that he was lying in the past.
He thought for a while and then explained, “Yan’er, although an auction has everything, there are many auctions in the world. The things in different auctions are still different.”
“Oh, so that’s how it is.”
Yan’er did not doubt him and nodded thoughtfully.
Immediately after, her eyes suddenly lit up and she asked again, “Dad, what was that stone just now?”
“Why did that uncle let us in after you took out that stone?”
Jiang Ping smiled and took out that high-quality spirit stone again from his storage space. He said, “This is called a spirit stone.”
“Spirit stone? What is it?” The three girls were instantly attracted by the light emitted by the spirit stone and asked in a daze.
“A spirit stone is something that can help you cultivate.”
Jiang Ping thought for a moment. The three girls had already broken through to the tempering realm, and it was likely that they would soon break through to the refinement realm. At that time, they could absorb the spiritual energy in the spirit stones and speed up their cultivation.
Now, he might as well explain it to them first so that they had a better understanding of spirit stones.
Therefore, he continued to explain, “Spirit stones are divided into low-quality, middle-quality, high-quality, and supreme-quality spirit stones. They contain spiritual energy, and the concentration of spiritual energy contained in spirit stones of different grades is also different.”
“Generally speaking, refinement realm cultivators can only absorb the spiritual energy of low-quality spirit stones. If they absorb the spiritual energy of middle-quality or even high-quality spirit stones rashly, they might not be able to withstand it, resulting in explosion and death.”
“Origin core realm cultivators can absorb middle-quality spirit stones, while nascent soul realm cultivators can absorb high-quality spirit stones…of course, things are not absolute. It still depends on one’s physique.”
‘Though Jiang Ping had explained so much, Wan’er and her siblings didn’t really understand!
‘They now knew that after the tempering realm was the refinement realm, and after the refinement realm was the origin core realm…but as for the other things, they were all at a loss and couldn’t react in time.
“Dad, this stone…the spirit stone is so beautiful. Can you give it to me?” asked Yan’er abruptly as she stared at the spirit stone in Jiang Ping’s hand.
Jiang Ping knew that the three girls didn’t understand what he was saying at all. They were simply mesmerized by the dazzling appearance of the spirit stone.
Girls were known to like shiny things. As expected, this was their nature, regardless of age.
“yan’er, I can’t give this spirit stone to you.” Jiang Ping refused as he put the high-quality spirit stone back into his storage space.
“Ah, why? Do you not love me anymore? Sob, sob, sob…”
Yan’er immediately put on an aggrieved look.
Jiang Ping didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He quickly picked Yan‘er up and placed her on his lap. He comforted her, “How can I not love you? Even if you want the stars in the sky, I will pick them for you.”
“But I can’t give you that spirit stone now. I will give you another spirit stone, okay?”
As he said this, he took out a low-quality spirit stone that was emitting a light green light.
Actually, it wasn’t that Jiang Ping was reluctant to give Yan’er a high-quality spirit stone.
Not to mention a high-quality spirit stone, he had a huge pile of supreme-quality spirit stones in his storage space. He didn’t feel the slightest bit reluctant to give it up.
However, it was impossible for him to be by Yan‘er’s side at all times. If other people found out that Yan’er carried a high-quality spirit stone with her at all times, she might end up being targeted by others.
Moreover, Yan’er was only in the tempering realm now, so it was impossible for her to absorb the spiritual energy of a high-quality spirit stone.
‘A low-quality spirit stone was more suitable for her current cultivation realm.
Holding the low-quality spirit stone that was emitting a light green light, Yan’er immediately broke into a smile. She stared at the spirit stone in a daze as she softly said “yes”.
“Dad, I want it too, I want it too!”
‘Wan’er and Liu’er, who were at the side, immediately acted coquettishly when they saw their father giving Yan’er such a nice spirit stone.
“Alright, Wan’er and Liver will get one too!” Jiang Ping said with a light smile.
Since he had given it to Yan’er, he naturally would not favor one over the others..
