I, the Holy Son of Yaoguang, am invincible in the world / Even my beautiful master is invincible.

Directly in front of you is an auction stage.

At this time, there were already some people sitting inside the palace.

Lin Xiao counted, and apart from the guards of Qingxuan Manor, there were only eight guests in total. Including him and Monkey, there were only ten people.

Of course, the auction hasn't started yet, and more people may come later.

But there probably won't be too many.

This was indeed a private and highly confidential auction.

The eight people who have arrived so far are all shrouded in black robes, making it impossible to see each other clearly, and they do not communicate with each other.

They were all very mysterious.

Lin Xiao and Monkey casually found two chairs to sit down.

"Boss, at these kinds of auctions, people usually don't talk to each other to avoid revealing their identities. Even if they do talk, they'll disguise their voices so they won't be recognized."

"Furthermore, violence is prohibited within Qingxuan Manor."

"..."

The monkey transmitted a message to Lin Xiao, explaining some of the rules of Qingxuan Manor.

Chapter 690 The Rich Woman, Immortal Lord Duanmu

Qingxuan Manor has many rules.

The organizers of this private auction are clearly not worried about offending anyone.

Once you're here, you have to follow the rules.

This is completely different from other business people.

After waiting for about half an hour, more than a dozen people arrived one after another.

Including those who came before, the total number of people does not exceed thirty.

But the auction is about to begin.

A middle-aged man walked onto the auction stage.

“Boss, that’s the steward of Qingxuan Manor, named ‘Dai Yuede,’ everyone calls him ‘Butler Yuede,’” Monkey transmitted to Lin Xiao.

"Ok!"

Lin Xiao nodded.

He sized up the butler, but couldn't discern the man's cultivation level.

The other party is very well hidden.

This is not surprising, after all, someone who can serve as the steward of Qingxuan Manor must be no ordinary person.

When Butler Jord took the stage, he didn't introduce himself or boast enthusiastically; his expression was calm and natural.

He quickly took out the first item to be auctioned.

It was a piece of soil, only the size of a palm, yet it emitted a seven-colored halo, appearing exceptionally sacred and extraordinary.

"This is the seven-colored divine soil from the realm of gods!"

"Its value is self-evident; the auction price for the Seven-Colored Divine Soil was one billion divine stones."

"However, the master of the Seven-Colored Divine Land said that if any of you have the Thousand Shadow Demon Heart, you can exchange it for it at the same price."

Butler Yod explained.

Unlike other auctions, the auctions at Qingxuan Manor not only allow bidding with Divine Essence Stones, but also include bartering for equivalent value.

And it has the highest priority.

However, in most cases, it is the owner of the treasure who makes the request personally.

Not all the treasures of Qingxuan Manor belong to him.

Many of the treasures here were consigned by other people for auction by Qingxuan Manor.

For Qingxuan Manor, they can earn a considerable commission without making any effort.

"What a highly profitable business!"

Lin Xiao muttered to himself, wondering if he should set up a Qingxuan Manor in the future, since it was just a money-making machine!

wrong……

Lin Xiao's heart stirred, and he realized that there seemed to be an even better idea.

No one in the audience was in a hurry to speak, and no one could produce the "Thousand Shadow Demon Heart".

Butler Yod wasn't in a hurry.

After a while, a person sitting not far from Lin Xiao spoke up, "11 billion divine essence stones!"

You cannot determine which faction someone belongs to simply by whether they offer a Divine Essence Stone or a Demon Essence Stone.

Because that was just something said casually.

When it comes to payment, the other party can simply take out magic stones. Different types of magic stones are all hard currencies, and Qingxuan Manor won't care.

"12 billion!"

Another person spoke up.

You also cannot determine who someone is just by their voice.

Because the voices were all disguised.

"15 billion!"

The man spoke again.

This time, he raised the price by 3 million in one go.

This clearly shows their determination to obtain the Seven-Colored Divine Soil.

No one raised the price any further.

Unlike other auctions, the people who come to Qingxuan Manor Auction have their own specific purposes and needs.

There are instances of fierce bidding and intense competition, but these are not common.

Most of the time, everyone takes their own photos.

Of course, Qingxuan Manor generally prices its treasures very high, so even if the bidding isn't fierce, they can still make a profit...

In particular, according to Monkey Boy, they also hide shills below to deliberately inflate prices.

Those shills are very likely members of the Black Dragon Gate.

In the end, the Seven-Colored Divine Soil was auctioned off for 1.5 billion Divine Essence Stones.

What does 1.5 billion Divine Essence Stones mean?

Generally speaking, an ordinary God-King only has a net worth of one or two hundred million God Essence Stones.

Only a god's net worth could reach over a billion.

Of course, the gods and gods mentioned here are ordinary gods and gods with no special background.

Those with powerful backgrounds, even if they are just ordinary gods, may have a net worth of billions.

Even so, it's clear that 1.5 billion Divine Essence Stones is a considerable fortune.

Butler Yod quickly brought out the second item for auction.

That was a ginseng plant.

But it's not ordinary ginseng.

The surface of the ginseng shimmers with starlight, giving it a very mysterious feel.

"This is the Star Spirit Ginseng, and the bidding price is 10 billion!"

"Butler Yod said."

He didn't say how much the price increase should be each time.

Because no further explanation is needed.

At the Qingxuan Manor auction, the bid increase is never less than one hundred million each time.

The Starry Spirit Ginseng is a treasure that Immortal Lord Duanmu needs.

Monkey Boy remained calm and didn't rush to speak. After a while, he said, "11 billion!"

"13 billion magic stones!"

Soon, another person spoke up.

Monkey bid again, "15 billion!"

"16 billion!"

The other party immediately followed up with a quote.

"20 billion!"

The monkey boy stopped arguing and immediately raised the price by 4 million.

This time, the other party didn't speak again, probably because they felt that spending 20 billion was not worthwhile.

The monkey successfully bid.

He stepped forward and immediately paid 20 billion Divine Stones to Butler Yod.

At the auctions here, once a bid is successful, the transaction is completed on the spot; it doesn't wait until the auction ends.

"Has this exceeded the budget?"

After Monkey returned, Lin Xiao asked him.

"no!"

The monkey shook his head and said, "That mastermind behind the scenes gave me a total of 100 billion divine stones!"

He dared not address Duanmu Xianjun directly, as that would be tantamount to revealing the other party's identity and would incur divine retribution.
