The second time, he successfully used fifty-seven blue symbol papers to form a seal. The third time, fifty-four symbol papers to form a seal. The fourth time, forty-three symbol papers to form a seal …

On the afternoon of the third day, Ming Yu had succeeded in her eleventh attempt. She had only used ten pieces of blue paper. Ming Yu was gratified that her hard work had not been in vain. She had barely qualified.

But in reality, this speed of condensing lines could only be described as inconceivable.

After storing the eleven array pattern beads, Ming Yu left the palace, preparing to auction off this set of array pattern beads.

Just as Ming Yu was about to leave the palace, a fat middle-aged man with a dark expression turned the corner, looking at Ming Yu's departing back. He then started walking towards the Jade De Palace.

"..."

After Ming Yu left the palace, she headed toward the World Merchant Guild, which was about thirty miles to the southeast.

The Under Heaven Chamber of Commerce was the most authoritative Chamber of Commerce in the Great Ming Dynasty. It had over a hundred branches, and the place Ming Yu went was the main branch of the Under Heaven Chamber of Commerce.

The Under Heaven Chamber of Commerce was a company created specifically for martial practitioners. The goods inside included martial skills, mystical weapons, medicinal pills, formation pattern items, and even treasure maps … Everything. And the Under Heaven Chamber of Commerce had set up an auction house for the warriors from the large families to come and auction.

And this afternoon was the weekly auction time of the Under Heaven Chamber of Commerce.

Halfway there, Ming Yu entered the alleyway and put on the black cloak that he had prepared earlier. Using a black cloth to cover his mouth and nose, he pushed down the black hat's brim on his head and then blended into the noisy crowd.

If he wore the unique black striped suit, he would appear too high-profile. However, Ming Yu wasn't strong enough at the moment, so he didn't want to attract attention and attract unnecessary trouble.

After a while, Ming Yu stopped in front of a tall, black and gold building. The building was carved with jade, and the glazed glass was dazzling.

Ming Yu walked in and saw that in the vast first floor of the Chamber of Commerce, many Transcending Mortality Stage martial artists were shopping for goods and making noise.

Ming Yu swept her gaze across the crowd. These martial artists had more vigorous energies than the average person, but their blood vitality was not strong enough. It was likely that no one had reached the fourth level of the Transcending Mortality Stage, Blood Transformation.

However, this was only the first floor of the Under Heaven Chamber of Commerce. The goods sold were average in quality, and the real experts would definitely buy from upstairs.

Furthermore, Ming Yu could already feel a formless pressure the moment she entered the World Merchant Guild. In this world, there were definitely hidden talents. If anyone dared to steal anything here, they would definitely be struck by lightning!

"Mister, can you call me Li Ya? May I help you?" While Ming Yu was deep in thought, a graceful young woman wearing a white qipao walked over and said with a smile.

Amongst the products of the Under Heaven Chamber of Commerce, a single floor's price could be considered the lowest in the headquarters of the Under Heaven Chamber of Commerce, but for rogue cultivators who came from small families, the price was already very high.

Because there was a guarantee of perfection, many rogue cultivators were willing to come to the World Trade Association and spend the money for their beloved martial arts or Xuan Bing.

Li Ya swept a glance over Ming Yu's black cloak, smiled and shook her head, saying, "Sir, you don't need to worry about someone stealing your things, the trade with the Under Heaven Guild is absolutely confidential to the outside world. You may state the type of item you wish to purchase, and I will recommend the most cost-effective item on this floor to you. "

Ming Yu frowned, "I'm not here to buy, I have something to auction."

Li Ya revealed a shocked expression, then revealed a sweet smile that was standardized by the officials. She politely said, "Sir, you might not know this, but the starting price of the goods auctioned at the Under Heaven Chamber of Commerce cannot be lower than three hundred thousand inkstones."

There was no entry threshold for the Under Heaven Chamber of Commerce. Every day, Li Ya would have to deal with who knew how many country bumpkins she would need to get her treasures.

Once she saw Ming Yu's disguise, Li Ya knew that it was his first time at the World Merchant Guild. He had never seen such a large scene before, and it made him seem too reserved.

Li Ya patiently explained, "So are you sure? "Sir, if we invite an appraiser and find out that your commodity price is too far off from the base price we requested, you will have to pay for the loss."

"Mm, take me with you." Ming Yu answered.

"Fine." Li Ya didn't say anything more and just led the way. She had already said what she needed to say, after all, she wouldn't be the one to pay the money, so whether or not Ming Yu listens to her will be up to him.

Li Ya brought Ming Yu through a secret door on the first floor and into an elegant private room. She said, "The appraiser will be here soon. Please prepare the items quickly."

With that, he left.

Not long after, Li Ya opened the door and smiled sweetly at an old man wearing a black robe with a goatee. After the old man entered the room, she gently closed the door without making any sound.

"I'm the twenty-sixth appraiser, Tang Gu, take out your things."

Tang Gu wasn't as polite as Li Ya. After twenty years of appraising, he had seen a lot and knew everything. When he spoke, he unconsciously had a hint of pride.

Some customers would ask for the appraisers' help because as long as the appraiser rejected the offer, the item would definitely not be auctioned. Only an appraiser would be able to sell the item without any problems.

The moment Tang Gu saw Ming Yu, he knew that he was only at the fourth level of the Transcending Mortality Stage, but a hint of disdain still appeared in his eyes. It was only when Ming Yu took out a black cloth bag that his expression turned serious.

This black bag was extremely ordinary, but how could the knowledgeable Tang Gu not know that this was clearly a storage bag that only the children of the Great Ming Dynasty were qualified to use. And how could the children of the royal family be mortals?

Ming Yu took out the eleven black pattern beads and placed them on the table, "What I want to auction is this set of ten times limited array pattern beads."

"What you want to auction... Was it an array pattern bead? "

Tang Gu became serious. He took out a crystal magnifying glass and placed it in front of his eyes. It was about the size of a thumb and with a gold frame. He carefully examined it until he had finished appraising the eleven bead.

Even Tang Gu, who had reached the sixth level of the Transcending Mortality Stage and reconstructed his soul, felt his eyes go sour after he finished appraising the inscription patterns. He was certain that this set of inscription patterns was definitely a first-grade, medium-grade, and a top-grade, first-grade one at that!

In order to create a formation pattern of this level, one's spiritual energy must be extremely powerful.

It could be said that if one wanted to find an inscriptionist in the Great Ming Dynasty, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. This was because there were simply too few inscriptionists. It was too rare!

A powerful inscription master, no matter where they went, would receive the most honorable treatment!

Earlier, Tang Gu had thought that Ming Yu's cultivation wasn't high, but now he understood that it was because Ming Yu's cultivation was too profound and his mental strength was too strong, making it impossible for Tang Gu to see through her.

In addition to Ming Yu's mysterious appearance, she must be one of the most important people in the palace!

Tang Gu lightly placed the bead on the table and seriously said, "According to this old man's estimate, this set of ten-time limited array patterns is the highest quality amongst the first-grade mid-grade array patterns. The starting price is eight hundred thousand black jades. Do you think this price is satisfactory? "

Even Tang Gu didn't know this, but his tone of voice had subconsciously become respectful.

"It has always been a reasonable price for the World Merchant Guild, so let's do it at this price." Ming Yu said indifferently.

In his previous life, Ming Yu had made a lot of money, and he didn't think much of a mere eight hundred thousand, but he understood that he needed to make a little bit of money.

But in Tang Gu's eyes, it was completely different. Even though he offered a sum of eight hundred thousand inkjades, Ming Yu still sat on the chair with an unchanging expression. Thus, Tang Gu was even more convinced that Ming Yu was an important person who had seen the scene before.

"There will be an auction in half an hour. Would you like to auction it?"

Tang Gu said, "If you want to auction it this time, you'll need to go through some procedures. Although it's troublesome, it's not too late."

Ming Yu cupped her hands, "Then I'll have to trouble Master Tang."

As he said this, Ming Yu handed over the book containing the explosive formation's chants to Tang Gu.

In front of a mysterious figure like Ming Yu, even if Tang Gu was willing to run errands for him, he would do it for him. With that, he walked out of the private room with a smile.

Li Ya's small mouth slightly opened as she looked at Ming Yu in surprise. Her small face immediately brimmed with a smile that was completely different from before. She gestured Ming Yu to come in and said, "Sir, please follow me to the VIP waiting room for a moment to rest."

As he spoke, Ming Yu brought him to the innermost private room of the first floor.

The room was spacious, with soft orange lights. The sofa was made of leather, and it was very soft. The walls were decorated with delicately crafted patterns. Upon entering the room, it gave an elegant and comfortable feeling.

"Sir, please wait a moment." After saying that, Li Ya walked out of the room.

After a moment, Li Ya lightly knocked on the VIP box's door. She then opened the door, carrying a plate of food and quietly walked towards Ming Yu.

Following that, she smiled and said, "Sir, the first level middle quality item you are auctioning, the ten array patterns beads have already been confirmed, it's the fourteenth item for this auction, and you have auctioned over five hundred thousand inkstones, automatically upgrading to a gold member. This is your card."

After saying that, Li Ya handed Ming Yu a golden card.

Li Ya's face was slightly flushed. Earlier, she had advised Mingyu not to auction it, but who knew that Mingyu was such a respected, big client. When she thought about how she treated it earlier, Li Ya felt a burst of regret.

Immediately after, Li Ya took out the tea and fruit plate on her plate, "This is a top-grade Violet Dragon Leaf Tea, and there are also fresh assorted fruit plates, worth 798 Black Jade. But you are a Gold member, we will provide all of them for free, do you have any other needs?"

"No, thanks."

Li Ya pursed her lips and said, "Yes sir, I will be right outside. If you need anything, feel free to call me."

With that, he turned around and left. When he closed the door, he purposely leaned to the side to display his mature and sexy curves. He smiled at Ming Yu and lightly closed the door.

Ming Yu took a sip of the fragrant Purple Dragon Leaf tea and waited quietly. She didn't know how much he would sell for for for the tenth time.

An hour later, the auction in the vast auction hall of the tenth floor of the Under Heaven Chamber of Commerce officially began.

The fan-shaped staircase in front of them could hold five thousand people, but it was almost full.

At this moment, a woman wearing a royal blue outfit walked into the auction area. Beside her was an elder with an unfathomable cultivation base.

She had elegant long hair, delicate face, snow-white skin and an almost perfect figure. Everywhere she went, she attracted the attention of most of the people present. She was the daughter of the head of the Great Ming Dynasty's Ministry of Justice — Ye Xi!
