Chapter 12

At the human auction house, most of the wealthy and upper-class people of the entire Sabaody Archipelago gathered, totaling nearly a thousand people, and the scene was bustling.

"I hope this time I can buy a few more beauties!"

"I want to buy a few more handsome guys!"

"I want to buy a few strong Fish-Men!"

Voices full of excitement and expectation rose one after another within the venue.

Lin Xuan had already obtained the qualification to sit in this auction through the auction house staff controlled by Genjutsu, and had even changed into a very exquisite formal suit.

Feeling the excitement of the people around him, the corner of his mouth curled slightly: Is this the so-called upper-class of this world? Heh, truly ugly! I hope you will like the surprise I have prepared for you!

Subsequently, his consciousness sank into the Prestige Mall, and he was already calculating what to buy with Prestige Points to strengthen his own strength in a while.

After scanning around, he found that what he could currently afford seemed to be only the 1,000 Prestige Point Shaolin Lesser Restoration Pill.

Lin Xuan glanced at the introduction: Increases internal energy by twenty years.

He frowned and asked in his heart: "System, do I have to buy a martial arts manual before I can eat this Lesser Restoration Pill?"

The system replied: "Host, it is not necessary. According to this system's calculations, if the current host eats such a Lesser Restoration Pill, personal physical fitness can be rapidly increased by twofold, and subsequent medicinal power can continue to strengthen your body. Once all the medicinal effects are exerted, it can allow the host's physical fitness to reach three times the current level!"

"So that's how it is!" Lin Xuan nodded, "Better than nothing, I'll buy one to eat for self-defense first!"

As he spoke, he directly purchased a Lesser Restoration Pill through the Prestige Mall and swallowed it on the spot.

Immediately, he felt waves of warmth flowing through his whole body, making him feel as if every cell in his body was cheering, which was exceptionally comfortable.

Lin Xuan couldn't help but praise: "Good stuff, it's actually so comfortable. If Prestige Points were abundant, I'd really want to get a few more to enjoy!"

And just as Lin Xuan was enjoying the pleasure brought by the Lesser Restoration Pill, in the dungeon where he had stayed just a moment ago, a voice suddenly came in from outside the cell.

"Get ready, the auction is about to start, numbers one through twenty go first!"

The guards in the cell immediately took action, and even the prisoners were awakened as if from a dream, knowing nothing about what they had been controlled to do after falling under the Genjutsu.

They just felt like they had taken a nap; at this moment, there was nothing unusual, and they didn't even know that Lin Xuan was missing from this dungeon and Uchiha Madara had been added, as if Uchiha Madara had been the one captured from the beginning.

As for the jailer who was used as a sacrifice, no one paid attention to whether he had disappeared or not.

Hearing the orders from outside, the guards began to arrange for the transport of slaves to the auction, and one slave after another was transported out.

In the entire dungeon, only Rayleigh remained very clear-headed.

He watched all this with his own eyes and felt increasingly that Lin Xuan was terrifying, and his heart became even more firm in his previous thought: Must slip away quickly, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to leave at all!

At the auction, the enthusiastic bidding had already begun.

An auctioneer named Disco was standing on the high platform, introducing the slaves being brought onto the stage to everyone with an excited tone.

One slave after another was auctioned off like goods; there were many people participating in the bidding, everyone was competing for the slaves they favored, and the atmosphere at the scene was extremely enthusiastic.

There were also people at the scene who had been watching coldly, appreciating the expressions of the slaves being auctioned.

They seemed to love seeing the poor expressions of the slaves who were ashen-faced, full of despair, and had completely lost all hope in life and desire for survival.

Lin Xuan was naturally watching coldly as well, but what he was appreciating were the ugly faces of those so-called nobles.

Seeing those people who were excited because they had bought the slaves they favored, the corner of his mouth curled slightly, thinking: I just don't know what kind of expression these people will have when they find out later that the slaves they bought back are uncontrollable?

It turned out that although he hadn't directly let all the slaves go in the dungeon just now, he had secretly destroyed all the collars on their necks!

The reason for doing this was, of course, to give these people who bought slaves a little surprise!

There was no way around it; if he directly auctioned off Rayleigh and Uchiha Madara, it would certainly cause some shock, but a surprise that appeared too easily wouldn't have a strong impact. To achieve better results and earn more Prestige Points, he made such a small arrangement.

And in his arrangement, the first twenty slaves basically had some strength; once they discovered their collars were broken, they wouldn't dare to kill the Celestial Dragons, but wouldn't they dare to kill a small noble or a small rich man?

By then, if so many so-called upper-class people on the entire Sabaody Archipelago suddenly died, it should be able to cause quite a shock and earn him quite a few Prestige Points!

Finally, the first twenty auction items were sold out.

The auctioneer on stage announced loudly: "Alright, distinguished guests, next are the two major highlights of our auction! The first auction item, the former Vice-Captain of the Roger Pirates, Dark King Rayleigh!"

"Wow!"

The people at the scene who were originally a bit tired, upon hearing the words "Dark King Rayleigh," all became excited again!

Seeing this, Lin Xuan couldn't help but smile: "Heh, it seems Rayleigh's popularity is quite high!"

But just then, something unexpected happened to him.

The auctioneer excitedly promoted Rayleigh for a long time, and even told everyone about his amazing past achievements for a long time, trying to auction him off for a good price.

However, when he had people bring Rayleigh up, Rayleigh was late to appear.

Finally, a guard responsible for transporting slaves ran over in a hurry and said to him: "Sir, that... that Rayleigh has escaped!"

"What?!" The auctioneer was startled.

Lin Xuan below, because his physical strength had increased, his hearing and other five senses had also doubled, so he heard the conversation on stage.

He was also stunned: What's the situation? That old guy Rayleigh actually got scared and ran away?!
