Chapter 281: The People of the Luo Family

  The Black Gold Auction House is located in this area at the very center of Tian Shui City.

  It's now 8:30. The auction is about to start and the auction house is already packed with people, bustling with excitement.

  Scions of wealthy families, nobles, sect members, adventurers... all sorts of people can be seen everywhere.

  The originally spacious auction house suddenly became somewhat crowded! The noise and discussions were endless. What a lively scene!

  "Li Huo Sect! That's someone from Li Huo Sect!" The exclamation beside him caught Wang Chen's attention.

  Turning his head, a team of people appeared in Wang Chen's line of sight, five or six people, with three middle-aged men leading the way, accompanied by two young men who were about the same age as themselves.

  Lihuo Sect, I didn't expect everyone from Lihuo Sect to be here. Unfortunately, he didn't see his big brother Wang Yan's figure; if he could see it, that would be a good thing.

  "Donglin Mountain!"

  "Zixiao Hall!"

  "Moon Flower Gate!"

  One after another cries of surprise kept coming, causing Wang Chen to look forward.

  Almost everyone from the major sects of Beijiang has come to attend this auction, which is somewhat unexpected for Wang Chen.

  However, thinking about it, it's understandable! Such large-scale auctions are held only once a year! The Black Gold Merchant Guild has six major trading points, six major auction houses, and each auction house holds only one large-scale auction per year! In total, there are only six times a year.

  In these six auctions, almost all the most precious things in Beijiang will appear, which inevitably attracts everyone's attention and interest.

  Especially for these big door factions, there are good things that they will not miss! It's just that this time seems to be particularly special!

  The time for entering had arrived. The crowd surged into the auction house, and the scene was one of great splendor.

  Curses and shouts filled the air, with occasional scuffles breaking out.

  Mixed in the crowd, Wang Chen slowly followed the flow of people forward.

  "We are the Luo family, one of the four major families in the Tianfeng Kingdom, and a second-class VIP of the Hejin Chamber of Commerce. Why should we line up here?" The complaining voice from beside him made Wang Chen's body suddenly stiffen.

  The Luo family, one of the four major families in the Tianfeng Kingdom! I didn't expect them to come too.

  His eyes flashed with cold light, Wang Chen made an effort to calm himself down. He turned his head and looked at the side.

  A team of about seven or eight people appeared in Wang Chen's line of sight!

  At the front was a young man of about twenty-three or four years old, with an elegant demeanor, followed by six or seven middle-aged men behind the youth. Each one looked like they were not ordinary in terms of their abilities.

  Seeing these people, Wang Chen's eyes narrowed slightly! The Luo family has also arrived. Thinking of this, he hummed coldly in his heart and firmly remembered these few people.

  Subconsciously, he touched his own face! He had already put on a human skin mask to attend this auction, and he believed he wouldn't be recognized. Fortunately, he wore the human skin mask; otherwise, it would have been troublesome! This mask obtained from the thief's hideout was really useful.

  Intentionally or unintentionally, Wang Chen followed them from behind and slowly walked towards the auction house.

  "Master, do you think we can get that thing this time?" A middle-aged man beside the young man asked curiously.

  "Hmph, it must be taken down! Nothing can stop what the Luo family wants. This time, that organization and family have given a death order, if we don't bring back that thing, we'll all be punished!" The young man's eyes flashed with cold light as he spoke calmly.

  This made Wang Chen, who was following behind them, somewhat curious about what good things would make the Luo family so determined to take down. It made him a little curious.

  At this moment, Wang Chen was holding back his own attack, enduring constantly.

  This young man's status in the Luo family should be quite high, and can be considered a true enemy. Since he has appeared here...

  Wang Chen was startled in his heart and quietly made some decisions.

  Before they reached the entrance, the young people took out their second-level member black and white membership cards. A waitress quickly led them into the auction house.

  As for Wang Chen, after showing off Aileen's business card to himself, he naturally also had a female attendant lead him towards the auction house!

  First-class member, looking at Wang Chen beside him, the female attendant's face was somewhat strange! Is this a child of that big family? It's actually only one person coming, which made him curious.

  As soon as he entered the auction house, the bright surroundings suddenly dimmed, and the noise was deafening, pouring into his ears, causing Wang Chen's eyebrows to furrow slightly.

  The auction hall was very large and could accommodate one or two thousand people without any difficulty. As for Wang Chen, he was directly taken to a luxurious private room on the second floor!

  The room is not large, but the interior decoration is luxurious and grand! A comfortable and elegant armchair faces the window, covered with a tiger skin, looking extremely luxurious.

  The waitress left, closing the door behind her. Looking at the fruit and tea on the table, Wang Chen couldn't help but feel a sense of disparity in treatment. The people crowded in the hall below didn't receive such treatment.

  He plopped himself down in a chair by the window and could see everything going on inside the auction room.

  Wang Chen suddenly discovered that the Luo family, who had been paying attention to him all along, was actually in the private room opposite him! Even through the window, he could vaguely see these people.

  He slightly adjusted his position, making sure they couldn't see him, and calmed down to wait quietly for the auction to begin. At the same time, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. His mind was already focused on the Luo family's group of people.

  At 9 o'clock sharp, the auction begins! As the person in charge of Tianshui City, Aileen takes the stage to announce the start of the auction, and surprisingly, she also takes on the role of auctioneer.

  At this moment, Irene was wearing a red cheongsam, using that enchanting and sweet voice to interpret the rules of this auction for everyone in the venue. The voice was so charming that it drove countless men crazy! At this moment, Irene's charm and coquetry were fully displayed, leaving even Wang Chen feeling somewhat moved and astonished.

  The auction is about to begin!

  As an annual auction, the process is naturally long and the items being auctioned are numerous. From simple small things to expensive good things, they progress in sequence.

  In Irene's sweet and charming voice, one by one small things were quickly snapped up, with prices continuing to soar. Some ordinary items outside the auction house sold for double or even higher prices, leaving people in awe of the terror and profit of the auction!

  With these auction houses as a backing, it's no wonder that the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce can rank among the top commercial chambers in the Tsangmoon Kingdom and be considered one of the two largest commercial chambers in the North Territory!

  As for another merchant association, it is the Daluo Merchant Association. The Daluo Empire directly holds it. Engaging in the transaction and sale of military supplies, it's not easy to think about.

  In the blink of an eye, over a dozen small items have been auctioned off! The prices weren't very high either. The highest one only went for 2,000 gold coins. They were all just some trinkets and trifles. These things wouldn't have piqued the interest of the people in the VIP room, mainly it was adventurers from the auction hall and some members of small families who bought them up.

  After more than ten things came the first small **.

  Only then did Irene timely pick up the atmosphere, creating a high point for the scene. With everyone eager to try and expecting eyes, she slowly opened her mouth: "Next, we are auctioning off something good! A heavenly treasure, I believe everyone knows some of it! This thing is considered one of the heavenly treasures! I believe it won't disappoint anyone!"

  At Irene's gesture, a person in charge behind her carefully brought up a small green box.

  Luxurious and majestic.

  Under Irene's seemingly enchanting movements, the small box slowly opened. A blue fruit instantly appeared in front of everyone. A refreshing fragrance seemed to spread to every corner of the auction house!

  "Heavenly Spirit Fruit! As for its effects, I suppose I don't need to introduce it much." Ellyn said with a smile to everyone.

  "Ah...... Tianling fruit, it's actually Tianling fruit!"

  At this moment, all the people below moved. Especially all the people in the hall. These people were really moved. As for the people inside the box, they seemed to be a little better. Of course, maybe someone was also moved, but Wang Chen definitely didn't know. Anyway, compared to the lively atmosphere of the hall, the people inside the box were much better!

  It's also possible that the people in this private room are all from the Dà Mén Pài, members of a large family. The Tian Ling Guo has some temptation for them, but it shouldn't be that great.

  Satisfied with everyone's reaction, Irene waved her hand and revealed a charming smile: "Tianling fruit, starting price 100,000 gold coins! Each increase in price is 1,000 gold coins! Let's begin!"

  This price is not high! It can even be said that it's very low, let alone at an auction house, even if you were to trade directly with the person who found the Tian Ling fruit, it would still be hard to buy.

  Such a price has also brought about a fervent response from the crowd. Especially for those small family members, their eyes lit up instantly! The Tianling fruit is too important for them! A spiritual warrior is too important for a small family. Just like the Han family of Qingfeng City back then, spiritual warriors were already considered top-notch warriors, elder-level figures.

  The price at which Tianling fruit was sold is not high, but under such a price, the passion it brings will necessarily get a better price, this is a common trick used by auction houses.

  "120,000!" a bidding voice came urgently from the crowd.

  "1.3 million!"

  "135,000!"

  …………

  "1.5 million!"

  The price continued to rise and in just one minute it had already reached the height of 150,000 gold coins! This is almost the high-end price of Tianling fruit.

  The appearance of Tiansheng fruit caused a sensation at the auction.

  "1.6 million!" Just as Wang Chen thought the price was about right, the 1.6 million price from the private room across from Luo's family on the second floor brought a hint of a smile to Wang Chen's mouth.

  "1.8 million!" At the same time, a voice from another room on the second floor made Wang Chen slightly surprised.

  At this moment, the people on the second floor finally joined in the price competition, and the price rose sharply.
