Chapter 79: The Man Who Can Show Off His Face Everywhere
🕑 Added 2025-03-10 10:04:01 +0000 UTCGenerally speaking, if you want to enter the auction, you need to have a bidding qualification certification. Only guests with bidding qualification certification can enter the auction to bid.
Qualification certification is divided into several different levels, and the entry threshold is 10,000 gold soul coins. In other words, if you want to enter the auction, you first need to have proof of assets of 10,000 gold soul coins before you can participate in the auction. This is to prevent some people who obviously have no money from coming in to fish in troubled waters and bid maliciously.
Ye Cheng had never been to the auction house before, so he naturally had no qualifications. Logically, he should show his gold card or other things that can prove his assets before he can be allowed in.
However, none of the four gatekeepers mentioned this at all, and they welcomed the three of them in directly and respectfully.
As for the reason?
Nonsense, just based on this face. Who dares to stop him from going in? Don’t you want to live?
The three of them walked into the auction house under the guidance of two girls. The other two girls went to inform the steward that a distinguished guest had arrived.
Ye Cheng found that the interior of the auction house was unexpectedly not magnificent. The floor was made of milky white marble, and the walls were decorated with various reliefs. The reliefs were not colorful, and looked simple, bright, and extremely elegant. In addition to the reliefs, there were some display windows built against the wall. There were some exhibits such as porcelain and armor on display. If he didn’t know what this place was for, he would probably have thought it was a museum.
The two girls leading the way were very professional. They would stop every ten steps or so, make a gesture of invitation, and accurately guide the direction.
He led the three people to an elegant room, gently opened the door, and made a gesture of invitation again.
It can be seen that this seems to be a place specially for entertaining distinguished guests, and the layout of every place is not simple.
Ye Cheng and the other two waited in the room for less than a moment, and before they had even finished tasting the fragrant tea that was served, they heard hurried footsteps outside the room, and soon a middle-aged man appeared.
This middle-aged man was dressed in gorgeous clothes, his strength was about that of a Soul Saint, and he exuded an inexplicable nobleness. It was obvious that even if he was not the real controller of the auction house, he was definitely a high-level person.
“I didn’t know Your Excellency was coming. Please forgive me for not welcoming you in person.” As soon as he entered the room and saw Ye Cheng, he immediately put on an attitude of trepidation, nodded and bowed as he stepped forward to apologize.
Ye Cheng put down the teacup and said calmly: “You’re welcome. I’m here just to entrust your bank to auction a few things.” Not wanting to waste words with him, he simply raised his sleeves and swept them across the table, and three more glittering objects appeared on it.
“This is!”
The middle-aged man’s pupils shrank, and he looked at the three things on the table in shock, and said in a lost voice: “Soul bone!!!”
It's no wonder he was so shocked. You have to know that in this period of Douluo, soul bones are a very rare treasure. Even the big sects don’t have too many soul bones, maybe only the Wuhun Hall has a little more. Almost everyone who gets the soul bones hides them tightly and will never show them to others easily. Not to mention putting such precious soul bones up for auction.
Someone has commissioned a soul bone auction. This is the first time in the history of the auction house.
“These three soul bones are about 60,000 years old, and they are the left arm, right arm, and head.” Ye Cheng said lightly. It seems that these three soul bones are not worth mentioning in his eyes, and of course it is true.
Originally, he was planning to auction off some soul bones that were ten, hundred, or thousand years old, but then he thought that it would be too embarrassing for him to auction off such low-level soul bones. So he simply auctioned off the worst soul bones among the three ten thousand year soul bones, the ones with the least useful soul skills.
It can be said that In Ye Cheng’s opinion, these three soul bones, apart from being a little older, the soul skills in them are simply hard to describe. They are very useless. They are useful, but they are usually not used. Even if they happen to be used, the effect will not be as perfect as expected. It is tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to throw them away.
“Your Excellency, can I take a closer look?” The middle-aged man asked with a trembling voice. Even with his status, it was the first time he saw a soul bone of such good quality.
“Please.”
Ye Cheng made a casual gesture.
“call!”
After getting permission, the middle-aged man took a deep breath, and with a slightly trembling hand, he first picked up the skull bone among the three soul bones and observed it carefully. Feeling the surging power contained in the soul bone in his hand… He was extremely sure that this was indeed a 60,000-year-old soul bone! The quality was surprisingly high! The
Middle-aged man caressed the soul bone in the shape of a head like he was caressing the skin of a peerless beauty, and after a long while, he reluctantly put it down. He picked up another arm soul bone to sense and observe…
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing looked at his obsessed look and couldn’t help but feel a little weird. They thought that the head of the auction house was like this? He lost his composure just because of three soul bones. It was a bit too bad.
As the parties involved, they personally followed Ye Cheng to sweep the Xingdou Great Forest, watching Ye Cheng dig randomly somewhere like picking up garbage, and dug out a soul bone that was extremely precious in the outside world. At first, they were surprised and shocked, but after many times, they gradually became numb. They even thought that soul bones were nothing special.
Only after he had finished inspecting the three soul bones did the middle-aged man heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at Ye Cheng and said, “Thank you very much, Your Excellency, for entrusting such a precious soul bone to our auction house for auction. It is our honor.”
“When can the auction be arranged?” Ye Cheng asked directly without any nonsense.
“Huh, if it was an ordinary treasure, it could be auctioned tonight.” The middle-aged man let out a long sigh and changed the subject: “But your three treasures are too precious. If you hastily arrange the auction today, you will definitely not get a satisfactory price. It may even be sold at a very low price.”
“Tell me what you think.” Ye Cheng said.
“Your Excellency, if you are not in a hurry, you can wait for a month. During this period, our auction house will do its best to promote these three soul bones, and then arrange a special auction. When the time comes, many wealthy people will gather, and we will definitely be able to auction them at a price that satisfies you.” After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he looked at him carefully and said, “What do you think?”
“I can.”
Ye Cheng didn’t mind having to wait one more month. He had plenty of time anyway, so he could just wait a few more days.
“These three soul bones will be left with you for the time being. I will come back in a month.” After saying that, Ye Cheng stood up, and Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing also stood up.
“Farewell, Your Excellency.”
The middle-aged man hurriedly put the three soul bones into the soul guide, and then respectfully escorted the three people out of the auction. After watching the three people disappear, he turned around and walked into the auction house eagerly.
Carrying such a valuable treasure, he would feel unsafe if he didn’t arrange dozens of experts to protect him.
In addition, we must quickly notify other senior executives to discuss what to do in order to make this auction a success. It is foreseeable that once the news of the upcoming auction of soul bones spreads.
There will definitely be a lot of troublemakers coming to cause trouble, so the most important thing now is to protect these three soul bones well. We can’t afford to lose them!
