Chapter 419: Joining the Auction

Ye Liuyun returned to the VIP room and sat down again.

That Steward Mao this time also didn't beat around the bush, directly asked Ye Liuyun what he had to sell.

Ye Liuyun pretended to hesitate a moment, then asked: "Do you have an auction here?"

The old man, upon hearing, immediately knew Ye Liuyun's item was extraordinary and said: "Our Royal City's Heavenly Speech Pavilion holds an auction every month. There will be one in three days, but promotion is already done, and the items have been notified to some interested buyers. If Young Master Ye is not in a hurry, you can wait for the next auction. But if the item is indeed precious, we will spare effort to temporarily add it."

"Just three days later."

Saying that, Ye Liuyun continuously took out more than ten items, among which one was that phoenix crown.

When Ye Liuyun started taking out items, the old man didn't pay attention at first, but as more came out, he grew more shocked. Finally he jumped up from his chair.

He excitedly asked: "Young Master Ye, forgive my bluntness, are these items related to that bandit Poison Dragon?"

"Steward Mao has keen eyes. Do you buy these items?" Ye Liuyun also didn't explain further.

Steward Mao immediately understood these were from Poison Dragon's tomb, and didn't ask more. Whether Ye Liuyun stole or snatched them, it's none of his concern.

These items are almost all treasures of major families and sects; many he recognizes, even can recount their origins.

Although these items look like ordinary spiritual artifacts, some aren't even spiritual artifacts, especially that phoenix crown, which is just an ordinary object with no value, yet it's something the royal family would definitely want to buy back no matter what.

"Of course we buy! We're in business; as long as someone sells, we buy." Steward Mao happily laughed. These items are definitely a big deal.

The sales guide, however, was somewhat confused, staring blankly at the two. These items don't seem as valuable as those just taken out!

Ye Liuyun idly played with the phoenix crown, saying to Steward Mao: "Then I want to see what your reserve price is!"

"Young Master Ye, please wait, I'll have someone call the appraiser."

Such valuable items, he dare not take them away; otherwise disputes could easily arise.

"Go, call two appraisers over." Steward Mao instructed the sales guide.

The sales guide now realized these items surely have provenance; otherwise they rarely summon appraisers to the VIP room to assess items, let alone calling two at once. So she hurriedly ran off to find appraisers.

Not long after, the two appraisers rushed over in a flurry. Seeing the items on the table, their eyes lit up, showing excited expressions.

One appraiser, at a glance saw Ye Liuyun playing with the phoenix crown in his hand, excitedly asked: "Young Master, is the item you hold a phoenix crown?"

"Exactly. It's the phoenix crown of the Golden Peng Dynasty." Ye Liuyun softly replied.

Upon hearing that, the sales guide was so startled she covered her mouth, afraid to speak out.

She didn't expect that Ye Liuyun's ordinary accessory in his hand was actually the Golden Peng Dynasty's phoenix crown. Such symbolically significant item almost slipped past her.

The two appraisers were also excited, rubbing their hands. Then they began appraising.

"The Golden Peng Dynasty's phoenix crown, starting bid three million spirit stones; the Golden Peng Dynasty General Sima's warship, starting bid two million spirit stones; the Li Family's hereditary Heaven and Earth Diagram, Spirit Grade, starting bid two million spirit stones..."

After tallying, Ye Liuyun's over ten items' starting bids total nearly thirty million spirit stones. Even though Golden Peng Dynasty people are wealthy, this price is already astonishing.

Ye Liuyun had no objection to these prices. Immediately he signed the agreement with the auction house. Steward Mao directly gave Ye Liuyun spirit stones. If the auction price is high, Ye Liuyun will later receive more spirit stones; if lower than the starting bid, Heavenly Speech Pavilion will buy the items.

"Young Master Ye," Steward Mao also produced a golden token, handing it to Ye Liuyun. The token bears a "3". "This is the VIP token for the auction; you can just come with this token, and someone will usher you into Room Three."

"Thank you, Steward Mao!" Ye Liuyun took the token and directly bade farewell and left.

Watching Ye Liuyun's departing figure, Steward Mao kept sighing in his heart: "So many spirit stones, yet he shows no reaction. He's not an ordinary person! No wonder he could find so many treasures from Poison Dragon's tomb."

After a while, he immediately went to arrange manpower, start promotion. Especially the related families and sects of these items must be notified. Even competitors must be notified, to stir competition.

Ye Liuyun having arranged the auction matters, didn't bother with how they arrange. Directly went to find an inn, rented a courtyard, let everyone out to get some fresh air.

"Miaoyin, I need to stay here for a few days..."

He knows Su Miaoyin wants to hurry to get reinforcements. If he first accompanies Su Miaoyin back, it would be too late. Anyway Su Miaoyin has already broken through to Heavenly Gang Realm, plus has the golden lotus protection, should be fine.

Miaoyin, however, understands his predicament, directly interrupts his words: "I know you have matters to attend to. I'll rush to Heavenly Sound Palace myself. I've already broken through to Heavenly Gang Realm, and have golden lotus protection; you needn't worry about me."

Miaoyin also knows Ye Liuyun has many affairs, she doesn't want Ye Liuyun to sacrifice too much for her.

"Mm." Ye Liuyun nods, gives his original flying boat to Miaoyin, and fills it with crystal stones. "Use my flying boat; speed is fast. As long as you don't stop along the way, few can catch up."

Su Miaoyin also didn't refuse. Now Ye Liuyun is her man, treating her a bit better, she also feels gratified.

Ye Liuyun also let Shi Yuan guard Miaoyin. Though Shi Yuan's realm is not high, he's still useful when dealing with crowds. Most importantly, Shi Yuan is more obedient than Bai Hu.

Bai Hu is too prone to slaughter; once a fight starts, without his control it would be endless, so he dare not let Bai Hu guard Su Miaoyin. As for Lei Ming, Ye Liuyun is even less at ease. Moreover Lei Ming won't leave him.

He also remodeled Su Miaoyin's ring to store Shi Yuan inside, so it doesn't attract attention usually, and doesn't hinder Shi Yuan's cultivation.

They sent Su Miaoyin off, then directly found a relatively large restaurant to try local dishes.

While they were ordering, suddenly a crowd surged toward a direction. Many in the restaurant also ran that way.

"Quickly go watch the excitement! Someone is waiting for the arena duel!"

Ye Liuyun's divine sense heard those people's talking.
