Douluo Continent: The Drunken Sword Immortal slaps Ning Rongrong in the face right from the start!

Chapter 23 Guests from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School

In the adjacent reception room, a shrewd-looking woman wearing glasses and black stockings was waiting. She was Xu He, one of the managers of this auction.

As soon as Ye Yan and Zhu Zhuqing entered, Xu He put on a professional smile that wouldn't offend anyone. She knew that regardless of whether the other party could bring out suitable items, they were all potential customers of the auction house. And what if they happened to run into a low-key big shot?

"Hello, I'm Xu He, the manager of this auction. You're here to auction items through our auction, right? May I see what they are?"

Ye Yan didn't hesitate and took out the things he had prepared earlier.

Seeing that huge pile of ten-thousand-year-old soul beast meat, Xu He was already a little unsettled. Only the most upscale restaurants in the entire Skyfire City had ten-thousand-year-old soul beast meat, and even then, it wasn't plentiful!

Although this thing itself may not be of much value, it is rare and therefore valuable. During the Heavenly Fire Festival, there will definitely be many restaurant owners scrambling to buy this batch of ten-thousand-year-old soul beast meat.

However, it's not quite right to put this item up for auction.

"Our auction house is willing to purchase this meat at 30% above the market price, and we'll also give you two tickets to the outer perimeter of the auction, how about that?"

Xu He's price was quite reasonable, but Ye Yan continued to take things out. After taking all the soul beast meat, he would take the three thousand-year soul bones!

Sensing a fluctuation of soul power, Xu He fixed his gaze on it.

"Soul, soul, soul, soul bone!"

She had seen spirit bones before, but never three at once!

Is this person here to buy soul bones wholesale?

When Ye Yan took out the meat of the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, Xu He thought that this person might have just teamed up with others and gotten a share of the soul beast meat.

Now it seems he really did have the ability!

Otherwise, how could a team be willing to give up its soul bones to someone else?

It must have been dropped by a powerful figure who killed a soul beast!

Xu He's smile widened, and he immediately ordered someone to make tea for the two of them.

"Please wait a moment, gentlemen. I'll go find a professional appraiser from the auction house!"

Xu He moved quickly because she dared not neglect these two distinguished guests!

An old man was pulled over by Xu He, and the old man picked up three soul bones and examined them carefully.

"The left arm soul bone of a 1,500-year-old giant ape, the left leg soul bone of a 2,300-year-old swift wolf, and the torso bone of a 3,000-year-old mandrake serpent!"

The soul bone is divided into six parts: limbs, head, and torso.

The value of these soul bones varies, with the head soul bone being the most precious, followed by the torso bone, while the limb soul bones are slightly more common.

Xu He raised her enormous bear-shaped weapon, took a deep breath to calm herself, and thought that if this deal went through, she might be promoted from manager to head manager!

"How do you two intend to sell these three soul bones?"

Xu He then began to explain the auction rules to Ye Yan, which included two options: consignment or direct sale.

Direct sale means selling to an auction house, which then resells the product.

Consignment sales are still conducted by the auction house, and all the proceeds from the sale belong to Ye Yan, except that he has to pay 20% of the proceeds to the auction house as a consignment fee.

"Let's sell it on consignment."

Xu He nodded with a smile. In fact, most people make the same choice, but no matter which choice you make, the auction house will not lose money.

"Alright, please go to the VIP room on the second floor to wait. Please come back here after the auction."

The rooms on the second floor and above in the auction house are not for sale to the public; only VIPs with invitations can go there.

Unexpectedly, selling a few soul bones would bring such treatment. Ye Yan and Zhu Zhuqing were led to a room on the second floor by a maid.

"Please wait here for a moment, the auction will begin shortly. The room is very soundproof. If you need anything, please pull the bell on the door and someone will come to your aid."

The maid left and closed the door behind her.

At this moment, at the city gate of Tianhuo City, Huang Dongfang, the Soul Douluo guarding Tianhuo City, was also there, waiting for someone.

A while later, an exquisite white carriage stopped outside Tianhuo City, and Huang Dongfang went forward to greet it with a smile.

There aren't many people who can make a Contra Master greet him with a smile.

After the carriage door opened, the three people got out: an old man, a young man, and a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man wore a white, fitted shirt and often had a smile on his face, giving people a gentle feeling.

The girl kept pouting, seemingly sulking and angry.

Huang Dongfang stepped forward and bowed to the old man, saying, "This junior respectfully welcomes Senior Bone Douluo!"

That's right, the three of them were indeed a group from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!

The Heavenly Fire Festival is a very famous event in the Heaven Dou Empire. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is the wealthiest sect in the Heaven Dou Empire, and its merchant guild has long been established in Heavenly Fire City.

Normally, during the Heavenly Fire Festival, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would send an inner sect elder to preside over the event, but this time it was actually the sect leader, Ning Fengzhi, who came in person!

Ning Rongrong didn't want to wait outside any longer, so she said to Gu Rong, "Grandpa Gu, aren't we going in?"

"Okay, let's go in now."

Gu Rong asked Huang Dongfang to lead the way, and under Huang Dongfang's guidance, the group entered Tianhuo City.

This is the power of a Title Douluo and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!

Even a Contra master as powerful as him was merely someone who guided them!

Ning Fengzhi shook his head. For some time now, he had kept Ning Rongrong locked up, only allowing her to stay in her room when she delivered meals to Gu Rong and Chen Xin.

When Gu Rong came out of seclusion and saw Ning Rongrong in this state, she felt really sorry for her. Since there was this grand Heavenly Fire Festival, she decided to discuss with Ning Fengzhi about bringing Ning Rongrong to participate.

As for the sect, although Chen Xin has not yet emerged from seclusion, he is still capable of guarding the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's mountain gate.

Huang Dongfang dared not delay and led the group inside, explaining many aspects of Skyfire City to them like a tour guide.

"Grandpa Bone, that auction looks really interesting, can we go?"

Upon hearing that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's young princess wanted to attend the auction, Huang Dongfang also spoke up, "The auction is about to begin in a little while. If any of you wish to go, I will have rooms arranged immediately!"

The auction house and the Soul Arena were jointly created by eight powerful families on the Douluo Continent, but the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was not among them.

Ning Fengzhi also happened to have some ideas about trying out the auction business, and could take this opportunity to observe the operating model.

"Alright, then I'll leave it to General Huang."

Although Huang Dongfang is stationed in Tianhuo City, his actual identity is that of a Grand General of the Tiandou Empire!

He was assigned here by the Heavenly Dou Empire for two reasons: firstly, Heavenly Fire City was indeed very important, and secondly, he was only allowed to lead troops into battle in major wars!
