C68 Astral river auction

If one wanted to sell something at a good price, the best place to do so would be the auction. Moreover, even if it was a small scale auction, the identity of the auctioneer would be kept a secret.

Because of this, there were many people who were keen on selling their items through auctions. They could sell them for a good price without anyone noticing. It was like killing two birds with one stone.

Of course, there were fair auctions, and there were also auctions in the dark. The latter were more secretive, but their prices were still lower than those in the open auction.

"Hey, are you going to the Milky Way Auction tonight? I heard there are a lot of good items that will be auctioned off!"

"Of course I'll go. Even if I can't afford to buy anything, I can still go and broaden my horizons."

"I heard that this year's Astral River Auction has made a big commotion. It's not any worse than the large-scale auctions. This seems to be different from the previous auctions. No matter what, this time's auction is still an underground auction!"

"I received some news that the auction this time will be selling a treasure that has been lost for a thousand years. At that time, there will be a lot of people from large sects fighting over it!"

"…"

As Lu Feng was quietly sitting in a corner, drinking tea, a few people behind him were discussing.

Lu Feng was unfamiliar with Ye Yang City, so in order to find a good place to sell the things, he would have to ask around, and this information would naturally belong to the tavern and inn.

"Milky Way Auction!"

Lu Feng, who was wearing a black robe, laughed lightly. Indeed, just sitting there for a while was enough to let him hear some useful information.

"Waiter!"

Lu Feng put down the teacup in his hand, and then lightly waved at the waiter who came running over.

"Young master, is there anything I can help you with?" A scrawny waiter hurriedly ran to Lu Feng and greeted him with a smile.

"No need, I just want to ask you about something!" Lu Feng deliberately lowered his voice, and while he was speaking, he placed several gold coins on the table.

Seeing these gold coins, the waiter's eyes immediately lit up. One must know that the tea that Lu Feng ordered was only worth a few silver coins, so he naturally knew what the gold coins were for.

"As long as this little one knows, I will answer truthfully!" The waiter smiled as he replied, keeping the gold coins on the table into his pocket.

"Is there any Astral River Auction going to take place tonight? I wonder where it will be?" Lu Feng asked.

"Milky Way Auction!"

Hearing this, the waiter's heart skipped a beat. He had never expected that the other party would only ask such a well-known question.

As the auction was going to be a big one, almost everyone knew about it.

"Young master, this Heavenly River Auction will be held in a small town not far from Ye Yang City. You will know the exact location." The waiter answered truthfully.

"In the town?"

Lu Feng was startled, he did not expect that the auction would not be held in Ye Yang City.

"Young master, in the end, this Astral River Auction is still an underground auction, so naturally we do not dare to auction it in the city." The waiter saw the doubt on Lu Feng's face and explained.

"Alright, tell me the location of the town!" Lu Feng said softly.

"It's not far. Walk along the road outside the city and you will see a stone pointing towards the town. We should be there in about half an hour!" The waiter replied.

After knowing the location of the little town, Lu Feng immediately left the tavern, and then looked at the sky and saw that it was almost dusk, so he directly walked towards the city gate.

Once he was out of the city, Lu Feng followed the guidance of the waiter and walked straight ahead. Before long, he saw that there were many people walking along the road with him.

Looking at these people, Lu Feng didn't even need to ask to know that they were probably heading towards the Astral River Auction House.

"It's really lively!"

Lu Feng sighed in his heart, then followed these people.

Just like the waiter had said, after walking for about a quarter of an hour, he saw a rock with the destination of Wind Ridge Town engraved on it.

After walking for about an hour, Lu Feng finally saw Feng Ling Town. Even though the sky was gradually darkening, the entire town was brightly lit and the streets and alleys were filled with people.

"So many people!"

Lu Feng was speechless when he saw that there were so many people in the town that they were about to explode.

"Bro, I have something I want to auction. I wonder where I can go to register it for sale?" Looking at the endless sea of people, Lu Feng didn't know where he should go. He could only ask the young man beside him.

"You?"

The young man who was being asked sized up Lu Feng, and then revealed a disdainful look: "This time, the Astral River Auction will not accept anything, I think it's better if you don't mind, in case they blow you out!"

"Hehe, how can we know if it will be accepted if we don't go? Brother, if you know the location, I'll have to trouble you to guide me!" Lu Feng said politely.

Seeing that Lu Feng was not willing to give up, the young man pointed impatiently at the ocean of people on the right side: "Just straight ahead."

"Thank you!"

After finding out the location, Lu Feng thanked her in a soft voice before leaving.

"Tsk, a punk like you, just what good thing would you have for an auction? Hey, you don't listen to the words of the old man. It's all up to you to take advantage of me!" The young man looked at Lu Feng's figure that had disappeared into the crowd, and then sighed helplessly.

When Lu Feng passed through the crowd, he finally saw a banner with the words "Heavenly River Auction" written on it. Behind the banner was a small house, and the door was opened.

However, there were so many people outside, and yet no one walked in, which made Lu Feng curious.

Without much thought, Lu Feng directly walked through this door.

"Bam!"

Just as Lu Feng stepped into the room, the door closed behind him.

"Hmm?"

Seeing that the door was actually closed automatically, Lu Feng's eyes revealed a trace of vigilance. Since he dared to enter this door, it naturally meant that he might be carrying a treasure.

"Don't be nervous, closing the door is only for your safety. After all, there are so many people outside, and there are a lot of fugitives among them!"

Right at this moment, a voice sounded from behind Lu Feng. From the sound of the voice, the other party did not seem to have any ill intentions.

"Customer, I don't know what items you need to auction, but let me remind you that tonight's auction is different from the past, so the auction's treasure requirements are very strict." When Lu Feng turned around, it was unknown when a middle aged man appeared in front of him.

With regards to the sudden appearance of this man, Lu Feng was extremely shocked, he did not know when the man had appeared behind him.

In other words, if the other party was going to harm him, he would probably be a corpse by now.

"Senior, can I trust you?!"

Lu Feng did not rush to take the thing out, because this person was very strong. If the other party had any intentions, he would be in danger.

"Haha, you being able to come here means that you trust the Astral River Auction, right?" The man laughed softly before sitting down at a table.

"First, let me introduce myself. I'm a treasure appraiser at the Milky Way Auction. Your treasure needs to be appraised by me. If it's worth a lot, I'll arrange for it to appear in the auction tonight!"

"There will be a lot of people from large sects coming over tonight, so as long as your treasure is valuable, you will definitely be able to get a good price!" The man explained softly.

"Alright!"

Lu Feng nodded his head lightly. Since the situation had developed to this point, he could only make a guess. He hoped that his choice was not wrong.

"Buzz buzz!"

After Lu Feng finished speaking, he gently waved his right hand, and in the next second, a stalactite as thick as a thigh appeared in the room.

Boom!

The moment the stalactite appeared, boundless spiritual energy erupted from it.

"This is …"

Feeling the boundless spiritual energy, the man immediately stood up from his chair.

As a appraiser, he had seen stalactites before, but this was his first time seeing such a thick stalactite.

"How about this stalactite? Can it appear at tonight's auction?" When Lu Feng saw that the man in front of him had somewhat lost his composure, he knew that this matter was very likely to happen.

Of course, he was also feeling a bit nervous at this moment. If the other party saw that his young age was trying to kill him and steal his treasure, then he would be in deep trouble.

"Hu!"

Hearing Lu Feng's words, the man let out a light breath and recovered from his shock.

"Where did you get this stalactite?" The man couldn't help but ask.

With his eyesight, this stalactite must have been harvested several hundred years ago, and the spiritual energy was very fresh.

"I don't think I need to tell you that!" Lu Feng said softly, at the same time, a faint spiritual force was released from his Niwan Palace.

"Spiritual Talisman Master!"

Feeling the mental fluctuation, the middle-aged man was startled, because he did not know that the young man was actually a Spiritual Talisman Master.

"My master is still waiting for me outside. I'll have to trouble you to give me an answer." Lu Feng said.

"Your master?"

The middle-aged man muttered and immediately revealed a smile as he asked, "Little brother, how much do you think the base price will be?"

It didn't matter if what the other party said was true or not. He was already a spirit runemaster at this age, and judging from the fluctuations of his mental power, he seemed to be at least an apprentice spirit runemaster.

There was a reason why the Astral River Auction had a good reputation. For them, if they were able to kill someone without leaving a trace, they would naturally take action. However, if killing someone would bring about trouble, they would not take the risk.
