Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort

Chapter 694 - 129: The Grand Opening of the First Floor Auction House (First Update)

As the days drew closer, more and more people began entering Luoxing City.

Not only were the major families attracted by the Holy Artifact, but also the three giants of the Flowing Guest Realm, along with other groups, arrived here.

This city, dormant for thousands of years, finally awakened again, radiating new life.

According to Mu Qingge’s arrangements, before the official banquet began, the weapon exhibition of the Sang Clan commenced, simultaneously featuring artifact refining in front of everyone.

The two Divine Artifacts brought by King Sang Shun, after being displayed enticingly for two days, were also sealed and brought to the first floor, preparing for the upcoming auction.

These days, Luoxing City was bustling with activity. During the day, there were various intriguing events, and at night, there were wonderful sceneries to admire, making residents feel like they had entered a magical dream.

The first floor’s premiere auction was organized by Mu Qingge for the day before the banquet started, considered a warm-up.

By this time, almost everyone who was supposed to come had arrived, making the auction even more intense.

"First Floor!"

"Why does this name sound so strange?"

"First Floor? What is this first floor for?"

Outside a tower-like building, a crowd gathered. As the red cloth covering the plaque was removed, exposing the words "First Floor," whispers spread among the crowd.

Significant figures from various families, as well as the leaders of the Flowing Guest Realm, mingled within the crowd, pondering the scene while waiting for an explanation from Luoxing City.

Among the attention of all, Yin Chen stepped out.

His long silver hair, blood-red eyes, and enchantingly handsome features caused a stir in the crowd.

Naturally, most of those who exclaimed were women.

Yin Chen smiled faintly and addressed everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for visiting Luoxing City. Behind me, the First Floor is a unique auction house of Luoxing City. It primarily auctions two types of items here, weapons and Elixirs."

When he mentioned ’Elixirs,’ a dashing and charismatic man in a corner of the crowd couldn’t help but show a hint of curiosity and interest in his eyes.

"Weapons and Elixirs?"

"That’s not bad. If we’re ever short of weapons or Elixirs, we can come to Luoxing City to buy them."

The crowd buzzed with discussions.

Yin Chen continued, "Today is the First Floor’s premiere auction. My master has prepared five Divine Level Elixirs and ten Treasure Level Elixirs to repay everyone’s support. Also, the two Divine Artifacts from the Sang Clan’s previous exhibition will be auctioned today. If interested, you are welcome to enter and participate in the bidding."

"What! Divine Level Elixirs!"

"Divine Artifacts are also up for auction!"

"Heh, even if we can’t snag the Divine Level Elixirs, the Treasure Level Elixirs are still good!"

The crowd erupted due to Yin Chen’s words.

Many people eagerly rushed through the large doors behind him, while those from the major families, determined to obtain the Divine Level Elixirs and Divine Level Weapons, followed suit into the door.

"To think there are Divine Level Elixirs is indeed surprising," the dashing and charismatic man murmured softly.

"Young Master, should we go in?" his attendant beside him asked in a low voice.

He looked up at the First Floor’s plaque, nodded, and stepped forward, "Since it’s so interesting, let’s go in and have a look." It seemed his interest lay not in the universally coveted Divine Level Weapons, but in those five Divine Level Elixirs.

Soon, the auction hall on the ground floor of the First Floor was packed. Families with status and influence occupied private boxes on the second, third, even fourth floors, thanks to their family prowess.

The inside of the First Floor was circular, with all seating and boxes arranged around the auction stage, ensuring an equally good view from every spot.

The private room directly facing the auction stage on the fifth floor was the only one on that level, and it belonged exclusively to Mu Qingge.

"This auction house of yours is indeed nice," Ji Yaohua said with a playful smile, leaning on the railing of the room facing the auction stage and glancing over her shoulder at Mu Qingge sitting behind her.

Mu Qingge shook her head helplessly, took a sip of the freshly brewed tea she held to her lips, and said, "Why aren’t you in your Ji Family’s room, clinging to mine instead?"

Due to their relationship, she had gone through the back door, specially reserving rooms for Ji Yaohua, Ying Ze, Han Caicai, and Qin Yiyao.

However, after those people visited her room and left, Ji Yaohua sneaked back in, wearing a shameless expression that said, ’You can’t get rid of me.’

Ji Yaohua smiled and said, "Anyway, you’ve promised to refine artifacts for me. I’m not interested in those two Divine Artifacts. As for elixirs, well, the old man at my house has good connections with those old fellows at the East Continent Alchemy Academy, so we’re not short on those. Since I won’t be participating in the auction, I’d rather stay here and keep you company."

"No need." Mu Qingge put down her teacup and said flatly.

Ji Yaohua wasn’t discouraged, laughing mischievously, "Don’t be like that. You’re new here, and many people don’t know you. If you have your eye on someone, I can help clear up any confusion for you."

"..." Mu Qingge was speechless. She thought to herself, ’It seems this rascal doesn’t want to leave. Oh well, I’ll let him be.’ Mu Qingge pondered for a moment and realized Ji Yaohua’s presence wasn’t entirely useless, so she let him stay.

"Quick, look, that’s the Xi Family’s Goddess. Tsk, tsk, that figure is truly one in a million, but unfortunately, her face is covered with a veil, so you can’t see her features. She’s entered the room on the second layer." Ji Yaohua chattered on excitedly.

He turned around eagerly, only to see Mu Qingge sitting there very calmly, not moving at all.

He leaned in, puzzled, and said to her, "The Xi Family’s Goddess! An absolute beauty! I once saw her true face from afar. To be honest, her looks are not inferior to your sister’s, and might even be slightly superior. Aren’t you a bit curious?"

"What’s there to be curious about?" Mu Qingge raised her eyes and looked at him in confusion.

She wasn’t a man; how pretty a woman was had nothing to do with her. Besides, she had not only seen Xi Qianxue but had also spanked her...

Thinking of what happened that night, a strange expression appeared on Mu Qingge’s face.

"What’s wrong with you? You seem a bit embarrassed." Ji Yaohua asked curiously.

"It’s nothing." Mu Qingge lowered her eyes, took another sip of her tea, and avoided the topic.

Ji Yaohua glanced at her, seeing she didn’t want to elaborate, and didn’t press further. He continued to lean on the railing and ’peep.’

In no time, the first floor was already filled with people.

Xuan Ya came out, exuding allure and charm, and stood on the auction stage under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

"Hello, everyone. I am the auctioneer for the first auction on the first floor, Xuan Ya." As soon as Xuan Ya stepped up, her wild and enchanting appearance captivated many people’s attention.

The noisy voices gradually quieted, and everyone’s eyes were on her.

"Wow! A top-grade beauty! Qingge, where do you find all these beauties? I see the maids around you are also stunning." Ji Yaohua exclaimed excitedly.

Mu Qingge’s mouth twitched, not responding.

Having Xuan Ya as the auctioneer was also a necessity. In the auction business, Mu Qingge summarized from her past life’s experience that female auctioneers were more popular than males because men have a tendency to show off their strength in front of beauties.

However, finding a suitable candidate at the time was difficult, and after considering, Xuan Ya seemed the most fitting choice.

So, after some emergency training, Xuan Ya took on the role. Once a more suitable candidate was found in the future, she would step down.

"Welcome everyone to the first auction on the first floor, and I also want to announce the rules for the first floor. The first floor adheres to ’payment on the spot, no credit.’ So, if you haven’t brought enough chips, don’t bid recklessly. Additionally, the first floor only uses Spirit Stones as currency. If you’re short on Spirit Stones, you can pawn other valuable items on the first floor to exchange for Spirit Stones to participate in the auction. Finally, no disturbances are allowed on the first floor. Anyone causing trouble will have their auction qualification revoked immediately and will be prohibited from stepping into Luoxing City forever." Xuan Ya’s voice was very pleasant, so even when stating these cold rules, people listened with great interest.

Then she smiled slightly, "To add, every month, the first floor will open once for a regular auction. Anyone who enters Luoxing City is welcome to participate."

"What do you mean by a regular auction? Does that mean there’s an irregular one too?" Someone in the crowd couldn’t help but ask.

Xuan Ya smiled toward the direction of the voice and nodded, "That’s right! Besides the monthly auctions, every six months there will be a premium auction. But participants in these premium auctions need qualifications."

"What qualifications?"

"Yes! What kind of qualifications?"

The crowd, piqued by Xuan Ya’s words, buzzed with curiosity.

Xuan Ya smiled elegantly, "Actually, the qualifications aren’t difficult. Just one condition is required, which is to pay a deposit of a thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones to become a member of the first floor, after which you’ll have a corresponding identification. The more items you successfully bid on in the first-floor auctions, the more prestigious your qualification. In future auctions, you can enjoy discounts on transaction prices."

"Discounts on transaction prices? What’s that?" Ji Yaohua turned to ask Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow and said, "It means if you bid a thousand intermediate Spirit Stones for an item, but you’re a member and have previous transaction records, you can take the item for nine hundred intermediate Spirit Stones. The more transaction records, the greater the discount."

After she spoke, she looked at Ji Yaohua, who was dumbfounded.

In another room on the third floor, Han Caicai listened to Xuan Ya’s introduction and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, ’Mu Qingge, Mu Qingge, you’re wasting your talent not doing business! What other dazzling feats do you have that I haven’t discovered yet?’

"Alright, now that the rules are clear to everyone, let’s take a look at the first auction item, a Divine Level Elixir." After Xuan Ya finished speaking, a meticulously dressed maid came up holding an Elixir Bottle in her hands.
