Chapter 5825: Special Treatment
“This is bad!” Xianhai Shoayu suddenly exclaimed just as they reached the entrance of the auction hall.
“What’s wrong, Brother Shaoyu?” Chu Feng asked.
“Brother Chu Feng, do you have treasures that you can use as a deposit without revealing your identity? We plan to get a normal compartment room, but even that requires a deposit to exchange for the Martial Cultivator Commerce Guild’s sycees. Most of my treasures bear the Immortal Sea Fish Clan’s insignia, and it wouldn’t be a wise idea to bring out those from the Huangfu Heavenly Clan,” Xianhai Shaoyu said.
“Don’t worry, I have a solution,” Chu Feng replied as he took out a token.
The last time he participated in the Martial Cultivator Commerce Guild’s auction, Manager Ma had gifted him a Distinguished Token. It granted him the privilege to attend any auction without placing any deposit, and he could bid any amount of money in the auction and pay for it later on. It could be used in any Martial Cultivator Commerce Guild.
“Woah! As expected of Brother Chu Feng!” Xianhai Shaoyu’s eyes lit up upon seeing the token.
He had this token too, but it was reserved for the Immortal Sea Fish Clansmen. It served as a symbol of their identity, which meant that using it would reveal their identity. On the other hand, Chu Feng’s token could be used even without him revealing his identity, making it more useful.
“We can enter straight without paying a deposit with this token,” Xianhai Shaoyu said as he led Chu Feng and Little Fishy to the front of the auction hall.
There were ten people or so standing at the entrance of the auction hall, and they were all dressed in world spiritist cloaks. Their cloaks were rough with rucksacks, and they didn’t reveal their spirit power either.
As soon as Xianhai Shaoyu overtook them to the front, a person from the group suddenly shouted, “Go and queue up.”
It was an old man’s voice, and the voice held great power. It didn’t harness oppressive might, but it was intimidating nevertheless. He had to be either a True God level cultivator or a True Dragon World Spiritist.
“My apologies.” Xianhai Shaoyu didn’t lose his temper. Instead, he dragged Chu Feng back to the queue. “I’m so used to entering the auction hall straight that I forgot about the queue. My apologies.”
Chu Feng was impressed.
“Not bad, Brother Chu Feng. You have connections with the Martial Cultivator Commerce Guild. This distinguished room is second only to the exclusive compartment used by our Immortal Sea Fish Clan. Let me have a look at your token. There must be something special about it, or else they wouldn’t have arranged such a grand room for you,” Xianhai Shaoyu said.
Chu Feng passed his Distinguished Token over as he replied, “It’s probably just a coincidence. The elder who gave me the token shouldn’t wield that much authority. This token should be the limit of his authority.”
“I can’t see through its secret, but my gut feeling tells me this token is not normal. The elder wouldn’t have been so respectful if it was a normal Distinguished Token. Brother Chu Feng, can you tell me the name of the person who gave you this token?” Xianhai Shaoyu asked.
“Ma Qiang, Manager Ma,” Chu Feng replied.
“Ma Qiang?” Xianhai Shaoyu racked his mind for important figures in the Martial Cultivator Commerce Guild, but he couldn’t remember anyone named Ma Qiang.
Little Fishy picked up two red apples and passed one to Chu Feng. “Have one, big brother.”
Chu Feng took one of the apples. She smiled sweetly before taking a bite of hers.
“Where’s mine?” Xianhai Shaoyu asked.
“Don’t you have hands?” Little Fishy sat down on the chair, showing no inclination to take one for her elder brother.
“Tsk!” Xianhai Shaoyu waved his hand, and a tangerine flew into his hand. He settled down on one of the chairs too.
Before them was a transparent barrier that allowed them to see the huge auction stage.
“Brother Shaoyu, who were those people earlier?” Chu Feng asked.
“I never met them before. I don’t think they are from our Immortal Sea Galaxy,” Xianhai Shaoyu replied.
“There’s something special about their world spiritist cloaks. They must be from a major power,” Chu Feng said.
“Oh? Is it formidable?” Xianhai Shaoyu asked.
“They are specially crafted treasures. They are worth a lot,” Chu Feng replied.
