Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 469: Silver-Tongued Orator

Of course, there are always people who find the auction house’s rules somewhat overbearing and refuse to sign the contract. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

But, Xia Weizhang does not indulge these people; those unwilling to sign the contract are not allowed to enter the auction house.

Currently, the Divine Clan supports the auction house from behind, so even if these people are dissatisfied, they dare not oppose Xia Weizhang. To seek bargains at the auction house, they can only sign the contract grudgingly.

With the contract in place, everyone entering the auction house is prohibited from causing disturbances inside. As a result, the auction house no longer experiences situations where someone snatches treasures after another person wins them.

Xia Mian has attended auctions before, but it is her first time attending an auction as the host.

Sitting at the top level, Xia Mian glanced down and saw the auction seats below packed full with people.

As Xia Mian sat in puzzlement, Ding Cheng beside her remarked, "In two days, it will be Miss Xia and Mr. Lu’s wedding. These people might not know what gift to prepare for Miss Xia, perhaps they are here to see if anything interesting comes up at the auction?"

Xia Mian blinked in surprise; could it be like this?

The auction house is her property, and now, people from the Mystical Sects are buying things from her to gift back to her??

Xia Mian seemed to have discovered a shortcut to wealth.

Ding Cheng looked at Xia Mian, sensing that Xia Mian’s eyes seemed to be sparkling.

Ding Cheng slightly lowered her gaze, the corners of her lips curving into a smile.

She evolved from a bounty hunter to having a stable life, receiving much assistance from Xia Mian.

Xia Mian is getting married; she should give Xia Mian a generous gift as well.

As Xia Mian and the others had varying thoughts, the auction officially commenced.

During her time in the Mystical World, Xia Mian had wiped out corpse refiners, artifact refiners, and other cultivators not following the righteous path, closing the auction house doors to such people.

Thus, those participating in the auction now are much more conventional than before.

Currently, Xia Weizhang is the person in charge of the auction house, and he presides over the auction.

The first item up for auction is a dice.

The dice is quite large, about the size of an adult’s fist, marked with six points like ordinary dice.

Xia Weizhang displayed the dice to the crowd while calmly introducing it, "This dice is no ordinary dice."

The crowd held their breath, curiously inspecting the dice. Of course, they knew it wasn’t an ordinary dice; how could a regular dice be brought to an auction?

But, what makes it extraordinary?

Under the curious gazes of the crowd, Xia Weizhang continued slowly, "This dice can alter a person’s fortune to a certain degree."

As Xia Weizhang finished speaking, a sound of surprise resounded throughout the auction seats.

Changing someone’s fortune?

Fortune isn’t something just anyone can alter!

"Of course, fortune is a mysterious thing. The dice has six points; the higher the point you roll, the better the fortune—the lower the point, the worse the fortune. This dice can help change one’s luck but comes with risks." Xia Weizhang said with a smile, "I’ve said what needs to be said; those concerned should think twice before bidding! If your luck is bad after the auction, our auction house is not responsible!"

Xia Mian sat in the room, listening to Xia Weizhang’s words, and couldn’t help but let a subtle smile curve her lips.

Xia Weizhang is indeed skilled at stirring people’s hearts.

Since he initially claimed the dice could change one’s fortune, even with a chance of having worse luck, everyone wanted to try their best.

After all, deep down, everyone has a gambler’s instinct; when lying around could boost cultivation tremendously, who would prefer rigorous training?

"Now, the auction begins with a starting price of one thousand high-grade spirit stones." Xia Weizhang said calmly.

With Xia Weizhang’s words, the sound of bids instantly echoed across the auction house, rising and falling.

Xia Mian narrowed her eyes slightly; this is just the first item, yet it’s being contested so fiercely, and judging by this trend, the final price won’t be low.

It seems it was indeed wise initially to claim ownership of this auction house without any investment.

After a series of bids, the dice apparently capable of altering fortune was eventually sold for five thousand high-grade spirit stones.

Remembering her first auction with items priced at mere hundreds of spirit stones, whereas now they easily start at thousands.

Xia Weizhang single-handedly upgraded the auction house’s product quality.

With the successful sale of the first item, the second item took the stage.

Xia Weizhang lifted the cloth covering the tray, revealing a copper coin resembling a shovel.

The copper coin seemed to possess an irresistible magic; once Xia Weizhang unveiled it, everyone was immediately drawn to it.

Sounds from within seemed to constantly beckon the crowd.

Amidst the crowd’s awe, Xia Weizhang cleared his throat and spoke up, "This copper shovel contains the remnant soul of a senior."

With Xia Weizhang’s words, the atmosphere in the room became subtly intense once again.

"Everyone should have sensed the power emanating from this shovel." Xia Weizhang’s expression turned serious, "We have received permission from the senior within, and wish to find a predestined person, through our auction, to inherit his mantle."

Upon Xia Weizhang’s remark, the atmosphere immediately grew lively.

A reclusive senior’s legacy is extremely valuable!

Especially since the remnant soul dwelling in this copper shovel seems to be from a long time ago; if he is from ancient times, his cultivation techniques must be highly profound!

Once again, Xia Weizhang stirred the atmosphere.

Because everyone genuinely sensed a hint of remnant soul from the copper shovel, they harbored no doubt Xia Weizhang was deceiving them.

This small copper shovel eventually sold for eight thousand spirit stones.

Xia Mian’s eyes deepened; such items must have originated from some secret or perilous realm.

If one could acquire such items, perhaps they might glean some clues about these secret or perilous realms.

Of course, this had nothing to do with her, as she wasn’t the buyer.

While Xia Mian pondered absent-mindedly, Xia Weizhang placed the bizarre elixirs she had concocted onto the auction platform.

Looking at the bottles and jars, Lu Zechuan’s expression grew slightly unnatural.

Cultivators typically do not indulge in worldly desires, yet Xia Mian crafted these strange elixirs; it’s a wonder who would bid for them...

Under Lu Zechuan’s puzzled gaze, Xia Weizhang cleared his throat and began convincing people.

Beauty elixirs, health elixirs, and a final type of elixir whose effects Xia Weizhang did not explicitly state but praised as unparalleled.

Of course, Xia Weizhang implied that the creator of these elixirs possesses exceptional skills, and being lucky enough to obtain them is a blessing accrued from eight lifetimes of cultivation!

As such, it doesn’t matter if these are merely strange elixirs; even if they are poison, they are worth bidding aggressively!
