Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"VIP Tiger Room?"

Faced with Jia Youqian's sudden invitation, Lu Feng was also taken aback. "What's this all about?"

"Hehe, Brother Lu is new to the capital and has never participated in a Beijing auction before, so it's normal that you don't quite understand the ins and outs."

With a gentle wave of his feather fan, Jia Youqian explained unhurriedly, "Although the Dongyun Arena can accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time, the scale of this auction is still quite large. In addition, some established forces in the capital are usually arrogant and have never bothered to compete with ordinary rogue cultivators. Therefore, the VIP Tiger Room was created."

"However, the VIP rooms at the Beijing auction are divided into three levels, with the Dragon Room being the highest and the Leopard Room the lowest. The VIP Tiger Room that Mr. Jia booked this time is only ranked in the second level, and is not the most expensive room."

Jia Youqian took back the gilded black card with the tiger head pattern engraved on it and smiled slightly.

"Dragon, Tiger, and Leopard?"

"Isn't this a pornographic book...?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng was also stunned for a moment, and then his thoughts drifted back to when he was eight years old.

At that time, his mother had just passed away, and Uncle Wang from the village, in order to comfort the heartbroken Lu Feng, found a book of beautiful women called "Dragon, Tiger and Leopard" from somewhere.

It was with this book of beautiful women that Lu Feng was able to comfort his young heart and finally manage to overcome the pain of losing his mother.

"Brother Lu, what is this 'little yellow book'?"

Seeing Lu Feng suddenly blurt out, Jia Youqian was also a little confused and subconsciously asked back.

"Cough cough cough, it's nothing."

After coughing a few more times, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Lu Feng's face. He then said seriously, "Brother Jia, the auction is about to begin. Let's hurry up and go in."

He understood Jia Youqian's bewilderment, after all, the other party was from Dongyun Capital, and his tastes and entertainment were on a completely different level from those of a country boy like Lu Feng.

.....

Inside a VIP Tiger Room at the Shinonome Arena

"So grand? It's really great to be rich!"

Lu Feng glanced around and touched his nose, his face full of emotion.

This VIP Tiger Room is not only spacious and luxuriously decorated, but also has a floor-to-ceiling window about three feet high, which allows you to easily overlook the auction stage below and has a clear view of the entire arena inside and out. It is the standard for rich guys!

"Brother Lu, compared to the open-air arena below, bidding here is not only quieter, but also the interior of the rooms cannot be seen from the outside, which is a win-win situation."

Seeing Lu Feng wandering around the room like a country bumpkin visiting the Grand View Garden, Jia Youqian gently waved his feather fan and smiled faintly.

"Distinguished guests, the rooms here have been cleaned. If there are no further instructions, I will take my leave..."

Beside them, a servant in gray bowed respectfully to the two of them, his expression showing no sign of disrespect.

After all, those who can book VIP tiger rooms are either rich or powerful, and most likely local bigwigs in Beijing, who are simply not people like them who can afford to mess with them.

"Wait a minute."

Suddenly speaking up to stop the gray-clad servant, Lu Feng glanced back at him and asked, "I heard you sell treasures here?"

"Yes, but after each item is sold at auction, 10% of the price difference will be deducted as a commission. May I ask, esteemed guest, what kind of treasure do you wish to sell?"

The gray-clad servant remained respectful.

"I happen to have a batch of newly produced pills here; you can take them and try your luck at auction."

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng didn't waste any words and immediately took out a low-level storage ring from his pocket and threw it to the other party.

This storage ring doesn't contain many treasures; they are all pills he refined during his seclusion.

Apart from the eight unfinished Rank 6 Soul-Evolving Pills, the rest were all Rank 1 and Rank 2 pills, including 36 Rank 1 Blood-Returning Pills, 18 Rank 2 Heart-Cleansing Pills, and 45 semi-finished Rank 2 Qi-Gathering Pills.

Although deducting 10% of the price difference as commission for each transaction is a bit of a rip-off, the Beijing auction held every three years is a rare opportunity. If Lu Feng can sell all these pills, he won't lose too much in the end!

"So Brother Lu is also an alchemist?!"

Seeing Lu Feng toss the storage ring full of pills to the gray-robed servant, Jia Youqian, who was standing to the side, was also stunned, his expression one of astonishment.

After all, alchemists are different from ordinary martial artists. They have extremely strict requirements for soul power. Only those who have awakened the budding soul power have a slight chance of becoming alchemists. They are basically one in a hundred!

In addition, training a qualified alchemist requires a large amount of medicinal herbs, spiritual plants, and demon core resources. This is one of the reasons why alchemists have such a high status and are treated as honored guests by various forces in the cultivation world of the continent!

"Brother Jia, please don't tell anyone about this. I usually prefer to keep a low profile."

Seeing Jia Youqian's astonished expression, Lu Feng merely shook his head slightly, showing no sign of pride.

After all, he was only a second-grade alchemist, and his qualifications were largely unreliable, so there was nothing to be proud of.

If it weren't for having enough alchemy materials, the fourth-grade Dragon Pattern Cloud-Swallowing Cauldron, the fragment of the Medicine King's Manual, and the Treasure Basin, Lu Feng would never have been able to refine so many pills. A success rate of 10% would have been considered quite good!

"Please rest assured, esteemed guest, I will make the arrangements immediately!"

At this moment, the gray-robed servant dared not be negligent when Lu Feng threw him the storage ring. He carefully put it into his pocket and then turned and hurriedly retreated.

Meanwhile, as large crowds continued to pour in, the open-air area below the arena was completely full. Everywhere you looked, it was a sea of ​​black. Right now, not even a fly could squeeze in, let alone a person!

As for the VIP rooms in the surrounding stands, they were also packed to capacity, occupied by major established forces in Beijing. The scene was bustling with noise and excitement.

In the very center of the arena, on a huge auction platform

"Welcome, fellow Daoists, to this year's Capital Auction. I am honored by your trust and will be the one to preside over this auction."

As a hoarse, aged voice echoed from afar, a figure in black robes descended from the sky and landed steadily on the auction stage.

The newcomer had a full head of white hair and a hunched posture. He was leaning on a snake-head cane in his left hand, looking like a dying old man. However, he was always shrouded in an extremely powerful aura of Yuan energy, which was far above the Opening Meridian Realm and had reached the Spirit Soul Realm level. Clearly, he was no ordinary person!

"This aura belongs to... a Spirit Soul Realm expert?"

Inside the VIP Tiger Room, Lu Feng also sensed the faintly terrifying aura emanating from the old man in the black robe. His pupils constricted slightly, and he showed surprise.

After all, even the host is a Spirit Soul Realm expert, which is enough to show the scale and grandeur of this Beijing auction!
